In the eighth episode of season three of America Unearthed, titled "The Plot to Steal America," host Scott Wolter investigates the possibility of a conspiracy to steal the United States and its resources.

Wolter begins by exploring some of the earliest American history, focusing specifically on President George Washington. He delves into Washington's famous farewell address, in which the first President of the United States warns of the dangers of political factions and foreign influence.

From there, Wolter follows a trail of clues that suggests that there have been individuals and groups throughout U.S. history that have worked to undermine the country and take control of its resources. He explores the idea that foreign powers are involved in these plots and that they may be using Americans to further their own goals.

Throughout the episode, Wolter speaks with experts in various fields to try to piece together the evidence. He talks with historians, political scientists, and experts in espionage and international relations to try to get a clearer picture of what may be going on.

One of the key themes that emerges in "The Plot to Steal America" is the idea of economic warfare. Wolter examines how foreign countries might use economic means, such as manipulating the stock market or flooding the U.S. with counterfeit money, to weaken the country and make it easier to take over.

Wolter's investigation also takes him to some unexpected places. He explores the role that the Freemasons might have played in the alleged plot and visits a Masonic temple to try to uncover some clues. He also heads to the U.S. Capitol to learn more about the architecture and symbolism of the building and what it might tell us about the country's past and present.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of "The Plot to Steal America" is the way in which it ties together seemingly disparate threads of American history and political theory. Wolter makes connections between everything from the Illuminati to the War of 1812 to the modern-day pharmaceutical industry, all in an attempt to paint a picture of the larger conspiracy at work.

As with all episodes of America Unearthed, "The Plot to Steal America" is equal parts informative and entertaining. Wolter's passion for the subject matter is infectious, and his willingness to explore unconventional ideas and theories makes for a captivating viewing experience. Even if you're not fully convinced by the end of the episode that there's a vast conspiracy to steal America, you'll come away with a deeper understanding of the country's history and some thought-provoking ideas about its future.
