Ep. 0236: WWI Propaganda in the US Part 1: Perfidious Albion’s Propaganda

Finally! Here it is – the longest and, I believe, the most important Dangerous History Podcast episode I’ve done to date! (I recorded the first of many segments for this episode all the way back in April, and had been researching & composing notes for it for many months before that!)

Join CJ as he discusses the massive British propaganda operation in the US that ran from 1914-1917 (during the period of American “neutrality”), which was a crucial factor in eventually bringing the US into World War I.

*Also (Super-Important, will have a special episode on this soon, but):

Ep. 0235: Monsters to Destroy: A Fun-Sized Fourth of July DHP Special

Despite being in the process of getting over Covid (which didn’t hit him particularly hard overall, but did hit his voice pretty badly), and despite still being up to his eyeballs on the forthcoming DHP episode about British propaganda ops in the US during WWI, CJ decided to put out a Fun-Sized DHP Independence Day special about a great speech given on a Fourth of July 201 years ago.

Join CJ as he discusses John Quincy Adams, his famous speech from July 4th, 1821, the Monroe Doctrine, and how US leaders since the 1890s have turned away from Adams’ wisdom.

Ep. 0234: Busy Giddy Minds With Foreign Quarrels


CJ continues to slog away on the first installment in the upcoming World War I Propaganda in the US mini-series, but he recently decided to take a brief break from that to talk about some historical tendencies that, unfortunately, seem to be repeating themselves in real time.

Join CJ as he discusses the various ways that economics & the desire to distract from political problems at home often cause unnecessary wars, plus a few noteworthy examples of American leaders who resisted the urge to go to war despite economic and political problems at home.

Join CJ as he first gives an update on a few recent personal difficulties, and then goes over the following war propaganda techniques:

  • Demonize the enemy’s leader.

  • Turn the conflict into a super-simplistic morality play.
  • Fabricate heroic stories about your side.
  • Fabricate and/or exaggerate enemy atrocity stories.
  • Exaggerate the enemy’s intentions and/or capabilities.
  • Lie by omission/Cherry-pick.
  • Crop the story/truncate the antecedents.
  • Give your people empty symbolic gestures to signal their virtue.
  • Smear/demonize any of your people who question or criticize The Narrative.

Ep. 0230: Florida Man on Florida

Because he just moved (and it’ll be a little while before the new home studio/office/Batcave is fully operational), CJ decided to record a Silver Bullet Episode (ie, one recorded during his commute to his teaching dayjob) to elaborate a bit more on some of the highlights, history, & culture of Florida in the wake of his recent appearance on the Tom Woods Show.  In this episode he digs more into the Sunshine State, including some literary, artistic, cultural, and cuisine recommendations that anyone might appreciate, whether they’re already a Floridian, considering becoming one, or even if they’re just going to visit the state on vacation. (Or even if you just like finding new art, literature, cuisine, etc.) Enjoy!

BTW, below is the first flag of Florida from when it became a US state in 1845 (I’m not joking – it was never officially adopted for some technical reason but was flown at the first FL state governor’s inauguration):
