“Rise, and Fight Again”

Subscribe: RSS | More

The hits have just kept on coming! (And not in a good way.)

For anyone who cares and/or is curious why CJ has been mostly incommunicado the past 2 months (other than angrily ranting against the insanity of current events on Twitter): In this special DHP episode he gives an update on the most recent trials & tribulations he & his family have been through, including (but not limited to) his wife being hospitalized twice, another major death in the family, & finally, CJ himself being hospitalized for almost a full week while being the sickest & in the worst pain he’s ever had in his entire life. (Fun times!)

On the brighter side, the redemption in the third act is that CJ is still alive, still sober, & is (once again) getting back up to keep on fighting the good fight, so look for more Dangerous History coming your way as long as (knock on wood!) he can get a little bit of a respite from the near-constant dumpster-fires! 😉

DHP Ep. 74 Reissue: The Western Way of War vs The Eastern Way of War

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: RSS | More

(*This is a reissue of a Dangerous History Episode first published in Aug. 2015)

In this episode, CJ discusses two different paradigms of what war is supposed to be and how it is supposed to be fought. One is the Western (or European) Way, which originated in Greece and from there filtered through the Romans to become the dominant paradigm among Westerners to this day. The other is the Eastern (or Asian) Way, which originated in China and from there filtered to other parts of the Asian world and beyond, and which forms the intellectual basis of much of modern unconventional tactics and strategy.

Join CJ as he discusses:

The origins of the Western Way and how it has evolved over the centuries
The origins of the Eastern Way and how it has evolved over the centuries
Why this matters to understanding the modern world in general, and the history of modern unconventional warfare in particular

Ep. 0284: We Are Ruled By Psychopaths, Part 2

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: RSS | More

As CJ continues to struggle to navigate his family’s ongoing difficulties, he FINALLY managed to record a new DHP episode.

This is a follow-up to the previous DHP episode (#283 “We Are Ruled by Psychopaths”), in which he delves into some topics not covered much, if at all, in that episode, including but not limited to: the difficulty of defining ‘psychopath vs. sociopath,’ reasons that non-psychopathic people might in some situations behave very similarly to a psychopath, the ‘Lucifer effect,’ how institutions tend toward psychopathic behavior, and more.

“We are ruled by psychopaths.”

CJ did not coin that phrase, but he repeats it often, and he means it both literally & emphatically. This may sound crazy to many, but that perception is often based on a very mistaken understanding of what the term ‘psychopath’ really means.

Join CJ on a deep dive into the true nature of psychopaths, how to spot them, how they operate, & why it’s a very reasonable hypothesis to suspect that psychopaths are very disproportionately represented among corporate oligarchs, politicians, & government officials.

Ep. 0281: “The Best-Planned Mistake”: The Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: RSS | More

CJ is back with a beast of a DHP episode that he’s been brewing laboriously for over a month, if not two.

On June 8th, 1967, during the Six Day War, the USS Liberty, a virtually unarmed signals intelligence ship operating off the coast of Egypt, was attacked by Israeli planes & torpedo boats. 34 men were killed, 171 were wounded, & the ship was nearly sunk before the attack was finally called off. The Israelis claimed it was a tragic case of mistaken identity, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and LBJ, America’s first “Israel-First” President, let them get away with it, & even helped cover it all up.

Tune in for the whole Dose of Historical MALinformation! This one’s a big red pill!

Ep. 280: Don’t Be Neo-Neoconned! (Thoughts on the Dave Smith/Douglas Murray Debate)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: RSS | More

In this episode, CJ shares his thoughts on the meaning, significance, & fallout of the “debate” that took place a few weeks ago on the Joe Rogan Experience between Dave Smith & Douglas Murray, especially in regards to credentialism & the Cult of the “Expert,” as well as the phenomenon of the Neo-Neocons (next-generation Neoconservatives) such as Douglas Murray, James Lindsay, Konstantin Kisin, Jordan Peterson, & others who are currently on an ideological jihad to try to purge the current MAGA/Trumpian American Right of any libertarian & paleoconservative elements who might actually believe in the idea of “America First,” just as previous generations of Neocons did with earlier instances of grassroots, populist rightwing movements which had strong anti-interventionist & libertarian instincts.
