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.

Ep. 0233: CJ’s Top 10 War Propaganda Techniques

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.
  • Dehumanize the enemy’s people.
  • 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. 0231: Rallying Rhetoric


CJ is FINALLY getting settled in from his move, and getting his new home/office studio sufficiently set up, that he was able to record a new, non-silver bullet DHP episode for the first time in nearly 2 months. Given all the shit that we’ve all been through over the past two years, he decided to do something he’s been thinking about for a while – a DHP episode consisting of some of his favorite pieces of inspiring historical rhetoric, to buck up our spirits (including his own), and hopefully give us all some encouragement to keep up the fight for human freedom in the face of the New Dark Age.

Join CJ as he shares inspiring rhetoric from William Shakespeare, Thomas Paine, Winston Churchill, and Patrick Henry.

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):

  • Crisis & Leviathan
  • Tacit Collusion (or ‘SIgnalling’)
