Epstein Deep Lore & More w/Ryan Dawson
Sorry for my poor audio. I got a fancy new mic and pre-amp, and apparently I don’t know how to set it up properly. I will get it fixed before the next time you’re forced to hear my voice through it. There is video, but I’m still working on it. This interview was meant as a follow-up to people who...

Hi everyone. Check out the trailer for the new Martyr Made series, Enemy: The Germans’ War. As I embark on this project, I’m more thankful than ever for your support. I’ve taken on controversial topics in the past, but as we saw from the reaction to my appearance on The Tucker Carlson Show last...

To the Perplexed (w/audio)
Well, that was interesting. I say “was,” even though it’s still ongoing, because I figure that being officially denounced by the White House must be the peak of an experience like this, but who knows… I’ve been surprised more than once this week. I have been very gratified that all of you have...

War All the Time: Israel vs Palestine, 1948-82 (Bonus Episode)
Hi everybody. So, many of you will have already heard a version of this episode (called The Administration of Savagery, released about a year or two ago), but this version is updated with new information and cleaned up a bit. I thought it was worth re-upping due to the current crisis in Gaza. To...

Letter from a young girl in Palestine
Hi everybody. I recently got an email from a young Palestinian girl. It was maybe the most beautiful, and most rewarding, email I’ve ever gotten from doing this podcast, and I wanted to share it with all of you. Sometimes, it seems near impossible, at a time of heightened tension and…

We Should Record This, w/Daniele Bolelli

Short lecture by Israeli journalist Gideon Levy (27 mins)
Hi everyone. I know, what with all the chaos in the Middle East, many of you have been wondering where I’ve been. Life has been imposing itself on me in ways I couldn’t wriggle out of, but that’s about over now. I’ve got a couple interviews scheduled this week, and will release an expanded an...

Immigration Discussion w/Lafayette Lee, Indian Bronson, and Dr. Ben Braddock
Hey everyone. A few days ago, I posted a Twitter thread to explain a comment I had made on the topic of immigration. Essentially, I said that I thought we’d passed the threshold where any meaningful reform was really possible at the federal level, and that people would be better off focusing…

Sunday Night Story Time: The Ballad of Sekou Odinga, pt. 2
Hey everyone, here is part 2 of the Sunday Night Story Time reading. I highly recommend listening to part 1, if you haven’t heard it, because it’s all one story and you’ll be missing a lot if you jump in here. I have a lot to do over the next few days, and I was going to hold this until Sunday to...

In August 1921, 10,000-20,000 armed coal miners marched on Mingo County, West Virginia to lift the martial law imposed there, free their jailed brethren, and avenge the assassination of one of their local heroes. At least 20,000 more wives, young boys and other civilians followed the army…

Epstein, The Full Series (pts. 1-3)
Thought I’d go ahead and stick these together for anyone who wanted to listen to them all at once. *Correction* A few people have informed me that my description of how a hedge fund manager calculates his cut is off in Episode 1. I meant to correct it in the show, but forgot. The general point...

Interview w/Luke Burgis on Rene Girard
I had a very interesting conversation with Luke Burgis, whose book Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life had a very good effect on me recently.

Easter Message
Hi everybody. I had another episode ready for Easter, but at the last minute the person I did it with decided he did a bad job and asked me not to publish. He’s wrong, he did a great job, but I get it, I know the feeling. So I decided to just jot down a few thoughts and here they are. Happy…

Well, this was one of the scarier discussions I’ve had in recent memory, and you do not want to miss it. In this episode John Robb and I discuss the ongoing total war between Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and the open-source networked insurgency that has emerged to do battle with him. John Robb is a...

Thoughts on Ukraine (Remastered)
Hey everybody. Many of you have asked for my thoughts on the crisis in Ukraine, so here they are. I re-recorded the episode because the audio on the first one was trash. Here are some links I mention in the show: The Snipers Massacre On Maidan How the West Sowed the Seeds of War in Ukraine, by...

Podcast: Thoughts on Ukraine
Hey everybody. Many of you have asked for my thoughts on the crisis in Ukraine, so here they are. I am away from home, and away from my normal recording setup, so please forgive the less than stellar audio (it’s not as bad as when it’s really bad, though). Here are some links I mention in the…

Epstein... Jeff Epstein
In this and the next episode, I will go over the evidence that notorious child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was a foreign intelligence agent. The follow-up episode will be a little too spicy for public release, so it will be available in about a week, for paid subscribers only. This is a public...

The Kyle Rittenhouse Trial

Human Forever, pt. 1
This is the first of a series of explorations jumping off from an upcoming book by author James Poulos, called Human Forever: The Digital Politics of Spiritual War. I recently wrote a short review, - the review really doesn’t touch the meat of the book - some of which I drew on in this episode....
