The first 4 minutes is just introduction. I can't wait until she finishes her book. If you've been following her at all you'd know that for years she's been researching the Salem Witch Trials, in part because she's from close to there in Maine, but also because there a rich connected story.

Salem is short for Jerusalem. The Puritans only studied the First Testament - meaning they were Jews. The witch trials were nothing like what is commonly known now and was really a giant psyop. Worse is how they weaponized disease with blankets and such. Also, FYI, indentured servitude was essentially white slavery and most never escaped debts. Waaaaaay more white people ran off with the Indians to be free than the inverse.
