Elites created the environment for the politics of envy, Mamdani, Jay Jones kills it, and reawakening the Monroe Doctrine.

In order to avoid cluttering up history episodes with this sort of stuff, CJ decided to make a stand-alone personal update episode to let anyone who cares know about all the continued Book-of-Job-ish stuff he’s been dealing with in recent months – including a major death in the family, deep depression shading off into suicidal ideation, & a horrific mystery illness that afflicted his household over the month of October – that have hobbled his content output, but how he made it through, is still alive & still sober, & how (fingers crossed, knock on wood, sacrifice a chicken to the chupacabra, etc, etc) i...

In 1066, the course of English history was dramatically altered, as the realm was conquered by Normans from across the Channel.

Join CJ as he discusses:

The characteristic mark of big business is mass production for the satisfaction of the needs of the masses. Under capitalism the workers themselves, directly or indirectly, are the main consumers of all those things that the factories are turning out.

A new round of nuclear swagger, a fraying arms control regime, and a grinding war in Ukraine have pushed global risk back into everyday conversation. We bring James Carden of The Realist Review back to map how we got here—starting with the choices made in 1992, when Washington bet on an inevitable democratic future and ignored repeated warnings from Moscow. That post–Cold War confidence collided with NATO expansion, economic turmoil, and a parade of torn‑up treaties, leaving both sides more suspicious and less protected.

We unpack the unraveling of ABM, INF, and Open Skies, and wh...

CJ has started to compile all episodes of his acclaimed 2016 History of American Slavery series into collected volumes, just like he’s already done with his American Revolution & Not-So-Civil War series (and as he will soon start doing with the Woodrow Wilson series), with the episodes curated together into volumes & all announcements, ads, etc, removed.

These will be available in CJ’s Patreon shop (and in fact, the first 2 volumes are already up as of now, with the rest to follow shortly.) They can be purchased a la carte whether you’re a Patreon supporter of CJ’s work o...

On COI #849, I break down the latest news from Ukraine and Latin America.

People who are kind and naive are being scammed on a large scale by other people, who are nefarious and have esoteric knowledge about how to extract resources unjustly from good people.

The good people are in such denial about the existence of evil, they will spend tens of thousands of dollars and in some cases sacrifice their lives (in war) before acknowledging the reality staring them in the face.

What happens when the language of “protecting the homeland” is used to sell a new regime change next door? We sit down with Kelley Vlahos to map the quiet return of neoconservative logic through a Venezuela push that’s packaged for a nationalist audience. The pitch is simple and potent: cartels, chaos, and a dictator at our doorstep. The implications are anything but simple. From asymmetric risks and migration shocks to the legal fog around authorizations, we trace how a narrow narrative can lock in a broad escalatory path.

Behind the scenes, personnel is policy. Kelley...

I examine the domestic communist and terrorist insurgency that is Antifa and its affiliated organizations both governmental and non-government. In this second episode, we examine the history that brought the US to the brink of civil war it is at now.

America is in a Civil War with a major political party and its blacked-shirted paramilitary arm going from cold to hot war.

Prepare accordingly.

I rant and interview Ed Begley

In war, State power is pushed to its ultimate, and, under the slogans of “defense” and “emergency,” it can impose a tyranny upon the public such as might be openly resisted in time of peace. War thus provides many benefits to a State, and indeed every modern war has brought to the warring peoples a permanent legacy of increased State burdens upon society.
