Cadillac Desert - The American West and Its Disappearing Water (Myth20c - Ep243)
Prior to 1900, the western United States comprised less than 5% of the country’s total population. By 2000, that number had quadrupled to over 20%, and was on track to continue growing as a percentage of the total until only recently, where the southern states have begun outpacing it in term of number of people added per year. Once known as the ‘Great American Desert’, the conquering of the West came not just from the Winchester repeating rifle and the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, but also by fundamentally transforming the landscape with massive hydrological projects in places like Southern California and Arizona, which naturally have little water, and harnessing the massive power of rivers like the Columbia in the Pacific Northwest to generate electricity. As with any physical system, however, there are limits to growth, and with recent record-breaking droughts compounded by never before seen populations, the rapid pace of expansion in the western United States may be coming to a close. Tonight we discuss the often untold history of how that growth was enabled, and why it may no longer be set to continue.

Assassination - After Dark (Myth20c - Ep242)
With the alleged assassination of Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri by US forces and the shooting of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the past few weeks, conspiracy theories abound as to the motives behind potential realignment in global politics and the media news cycle. Also in the news is economist Jeffrey Sachs making a reappearance, apparently lending support to the theory that COVID-19 may have been a US bioweapon. With ZeroHedge coming out saying the US has no confirmation of al-Zawahiri’s death, however, and the clouds of economic recession on the horizon, we gather tonight to discuss what all this may portend for the future of the global order.

Exxon Mobil - Peak Oil and its Consequences (Myth20c - Ep241)
Since the industrial revolution and the advent of fossil fuels in place of manual labor powering nearly all aspects of civilization from agriculture to transportation to manufacturing, human productivity and population have exploded, going from under 1 billion in 1750 to a projected population of 10 billion in 2100. In the 20th century, oil became the central resource to command national economies and armies alike, playing a central role in geopolitics to this day. But as the industry faces dwindling reserves and competing alternative technologies in the 21st century, companies like ExxonMobil stand out as an unashamed proponent of hydrocarbons, being America’s largest oil and gas company and one of its most profitable. As the primary heir to the Standard Oil legacy, the company offers a unique glimpse into what America used to be, and raises the question of how much longer that can remain the case.
Clarification: the United States is still the biggest consumer of OIL of any other nation, but China is the largest ENERGY consumer in the world: https://www.statista.com/statistics/263455/primary-energy-consumption-of-selected-countries/

Sunset of the Ottomans (Myth20c - Ep240)
From the 14th through the early 20th century, the Middle East consisted of a hybrid civilization composed of various tribes and peoples stretching from the Balkans down through the Arabian Peninsula under the auspices of the Ottoman Empire. To its promoters, Constantinople administered a multicultural society that balanced ethnic and religious differences into a harmonious whole. To its detractors, the Ottoman regime was a decadent, degenerate ruling class that lived above the poverty of its servants and relied upon an endless supply of slaves to feed its military and royal harems. In the end, economic and political weakness led to the empire’s unraveling, as nationalism in the wake of the first world war broke the back of the empire and led it to the carve up into the modern Turkish state and the surrounding nations.

Food Security, Supply and Shortages - with James LaFond (Myth20c - Ep238)
With a spate of recent news stories about fires and other incidents forcing closures of over 20 food processing and distribution centers in the United States, Canada and Europe this year, people have started wondering if there has been a concerted effort to undermine food security in and around the industrialized world. Comparing to previous years, there is a noticeable uptick in incidents, but taken in the broader context of a system consisting of tens of thousands, not just dozens, of functioning facilities, the apparent crisis appears manageable at worst, or highly overblown at best. To help us sort out this confusion, frequent guest and author James LaFond joins us to talk about this potential disruption, as well as the deeper historical roots around food distribution and political control.

The End of History and the Last Man (Myth20c - Ep237)
Published in 1992, political scientist Francis Fukuyama’s ‘End of History’ described a world in which he saw the 70+ year struggle between the authoritarian styles of government meeting an unequivocal end with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. What triumphed - principally the American system of ‘liberal democratic capitalism’ - was a model that in many ways proceeded to envelope the rest of the world in the coming years. For this, Fukuyama gets much right, but as the title of the book implies, the notion of an end to all other forms of civilization is questionable, and in the light of the rise of rival development models in Asia and a tentatively resurgent Russia, the thesis appears inaccurate at best, or grossly absurd at worst.

Boeing - Troubled Skies (Myth20c - Ep236)
In 2019, Airbus surpassed for the first time Boeing as the largest aerospace company in the world, as two crashes of Boeing’s 737-Max airplane forced a grounding of the fleet and a halt in sales, eventually costing it $20 billion in associated fines and delays. While Boeing maintains a relatively strong overall safety record as measured by crashes per million departures, the production problems with the 787 Dreamliner in the mid 2010s and the recent 737 debacle has cast some doubt as to the management and engineering practices at the century-old American icon of industry. Tonight we delve into the roots of what made the company as successful as it was, as well as some of the key events that arguably led to its current troubles that date back well into the 1990s and beyond.

The Ukraine Crisis - After Dark (Myth20c - Ep235)
Following our interview with Dr. Matthew Raphael Johnson on the crisis in Ukraine, we wanted to do a brief follow up on the potential long-reaching supply chain implications of the broader conflict between the West and East. Russia, being targeted now by nearly all Western nations with sanctions aimed at its financial payments infrastructure, telecommunications, and high technology systems, conversely is a critical supplier of oil, natural gas, and grain to Europe. Russia has alternatives with its eastern neighbors, principally China and India, while Europe has turned towards America. How much this matters to Russia, versus how much to Europe and the West economically, may ultimately determine who capitulates first politically.

The Ukraine Crisis (Myth20c - Ep234)
The Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine on February 24th, 2022 surprised many around the world for its speed and scale, making it the largest military operation in Europe since World War II. Western media was quick to condemn the action as a flagrant act of aggression on the part of Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin, while news sources in other parts of the world - particularly China, India, and Africa - have been more sanguine, viewing this as a defensive response to NATO encroachment on Russia’s border. Dr. Matthew Raphael Johnson, Russian scholar and long time author on the political economy of the region, joins us tonight to help us disentangle the truth from the propaganda. Because Dr. Johnson has received numerous interview requests and could only speak with us for one hour, we will be following this episode in the coming days with a brief ‘After Dark’ bonus show focusing on the potential long-reaching supply chain implications of this conflict.

Tiananmen - The Gate of Heavenly Peace (Myth20c - Ep233)
In the founding myths of the Chinese Communist Party, youth and student movements play a crucial role, with the Red Guard and Cultural Revolution being ideological tidal waves that transformed the nation. In the founding myths of post Cold War neo-liberalism, it was another student movement - the one that took place on June 4th, 1989 in and around Tiananmen Square, Beijing - that shaped much of its identity as a supposed free and open society to a counterpoint of communist authoritarianism. In the West, notions of calls for Western style democracy were what the students appeared to be advocating for, yet in China, the people on the ground, in actuality, were searching for something, like most ordinary people, for things more practical, and in practice - nearly orthogonal to that promoted in Western media and government propaganda.

2021 - Year in Review (Myth20c - Ep231)
In terms of sheer drama and trauma, few years in recent memory compare to 2020, with the CoViD scare and BLM riots reaching worldwide. In 2021, by comparison, the past year was really more a continuation and consolidation of the last, as the Kyle Rittenhouse trial came to a surprising end, and the power elite and the Biden administration implemented its policies clamping down on the remnants of the Trump movement. Globally the CoViD lockdowns continue apace, affecting countries in Europe and parts of the Anglosphere such as Australia and Canada much more harshly than elsewhere, but signs of protest have been seen as well. As American geopolitical power further wanes as evidenced by several naval disasters and the complete bungling of the Afghanistan withdrawal - with a President at the helm who rivals Boris Yeltsin for his ineptitude - the world moves on, increasingly viewing the American empire less with awe and admiration and more with disinterest and fatigue. For those of us seeking a renewal of the North American Continent and the broader cultures of the world, this time may bring us that much closer to the inevitable demolition and subsequent rebirth.

The Crowd - A Study of the Popular Mind (Myth20c - Ep230)
The great upheavals which precede changes of civilization, such as the fall of the Roman Empire and the foundation of the Arabian Empire, seem at first sight determined more especially by political transformations, foreign invasion, or the overthrow of dynasties. But a more attentive study of these events shows that behind their apparent causes the real cause is generally seen to be a profound modification in the ideas of the people. The true historical upheavals are not those which astonish us by their grandeur and violence. The only important changes whence the renewal of civilizations results, affect ideas, conceptions and beliefs. The memorable events of history are the visible effects of the invisible changes of human thought. The reason these great events are so rare is that there is nothing so stable in a race as the inherited groundwork of its thoughts.
The present epoch is one of these critical moments in which the thought of mankind is undergoing a process of transformation.
Two fundamental factors are at the base of this transformation. The first is the destruction of those religions, political, and social beliefs in which all the elements of our civilization are rooted. The second is the creation of entirely new conditions of existence and thought as the result of modern scientific and industrial discoveries.
The ideas of the past, although half destroyed, being still very powerful, and the ideas which are to replace them being still in process of formation, the modern age represents a period of transition and anarchy.
It is not easy to say as yet what will one day be evolved from this necessarily somewhat chaotic period. What will the fundamental ideas on which the societies that are to succeed our own will be built up? We do not at present know. Still it is already clear that on whatever lines the societies of the future are organized, they will have to count with a new power, with the last surviving sovereign force of modern times, the power of crowds.

Soviet Cybernetics - Red Plenty (Myth20c - Ep229)
“Cybernetics attempts to find the common elements in the functioning of automatic machines and of the human nervous system, and to develop a theory which will cover the entire field of control and communication in machines and living organisms.” -Dr. Norbert Wiener writing in The Scientific American. Taken slightly less literally, in communist Russia, central planners sought to do just that. By describing the sprawling Soviet economy as a unified set of equations, all sharing a set of inputs and outputs, they believed they could efficiently plan and organize production to catch up and overtake their capitalist rivals. For a while, it appeared to be working, with annual increases in GDP surpassing all Western nations in the 1950s and 60s. By the 1970s, however, diminishing returns had clearly set in, with even admitted growth rates plummeting, leading to the USSR swallowing its pride and importing grain from America, saved arguably only by rising oil prices that enabled it to earn the foreign currency it needed to make up for its production shortfalls. With the microcomputer revolution taking hold in 1980s, Soviet economists hoped the increases in raw computational power would aid in overcoming the scaling issues of manual planning calculations, but by the 1990s, computers were the least of the issue, as the fundamental design limitations of a control system for everything broke loose of its moorings.

Olympia (Myth20c - Ep221)
Filmed in 1936 Berlin during the Olympic games, Leni Riefenstahl’s ‘Olympia’ showcased the German celebration of international competition and virtues of athletic performance, sportsmanship, and, despite what critics may claim - goodwill amongst nations and peoples. Controversy however was inevitable as the Second World War was just around the corner, and tensions between the great powers were already rising. Regardless of one’s politics, and even to some of interwar-Germany’s harshest critics, ‘Olympia’ is heralded by audience members and film-makers alike as a masterpiece of its craft, showcasing innovative cinematography and highlighting some of the beauty inherent in the human spirit.

California is our Future - After Dark (Myth20c - Ep219)
With American Independence Day rapidly approaching, and the heat of the summer bearing down on an already overstretched water and energy grid, thoughts of breaking away tempt the soul. With the breakdown of public infrastructure in the East Coast with the Colonial Pipeline, and official policy of rolling electricity blackouts in California spreading to the Pacific Northwest, however, escape no longer seems an option. Tonight we debate these issues, along with the state of the housing market - and a brief movie review - to round out the evening’s discussion. Let freedom ring.

James LaFond - Ghost Snatchers (Myth20c - Ep212)
Set in the Rocky Mountains in the not too distant future, ‘Ghost Snatchers’ is a novel by James LaFond about an army of SJWs and their legions of color descending upon the last remaining redoubt of heritage Americans using Afghanistan War tactics. Originally scheduled to talk about his book, James joins us this evening just as the formula of lockdowns and riots perfected in 2020 is set to reignite as the nation braces for the outcome of the Derek Chauvin trial for the murder of George Floyd, and yet another apparent excessive use of force was on display in Minneapolis with the shooting of Daunte Wright. As an “adviser to the persecuted and hated minority that is the pale face man”, our most consistently popular guest offers his take on the new vaccine passports and the Baltimore-ification of the American city going forward.

Oliver Stone - Chasing the Light (Myth20c - Ep208)
If Hollywood had a successful, iconoclastic director known for questioning the mainstream American narrative - something many view as a contradiction in terms - it might very well be Oliver Stone. With a career spanning over 40 years as a screenwriter and director, Stone has covered topics such as the drug trade in Scarface, overseas military intervention with Platoon and Salvador, and financial greed with Wall Street. His political biopics remain controversial with many in the establishment as they question the very legitimacy of the American world order. Tonight, we are joined by Harry Flashman, a writer for the American Sun, to discuss this prolific film maker.

Cyprus - a Nation Divided (Myth20c - Ep207)
Situated in one of the most beautiful parts of Europe, Cyprus is a popular destination for many tourists looking to enjoy the Mediterranean sun and an island lifestyle. Its natural advantages, however, also have attracted various powers throughout the millennia to occupy the island for its economic as well as strategic military value. To this day the British garrison troops in Cyprus as the country is divided into a southern Greek portion and a northern Turkish-occupied section. Tonight our guest Nikephoros joins us to discuss the complicated history of this troubled nation in paradise.

Cody Wilson - Defense Distributed (Myth20c - Ep209)
Described as a “praxis against American mono thought”, Cody Wilson’s work at Defense Distributed, which designs and builds machines that allow you to design and build implements of defense, has been an integral part of the modern conversation on the right and means to bear arms. Wilson himself has long held an interest in civic discourse, serving as student class president in high school and college, and before dropping out of law school, was on course for a noted, yet still normal, middle class life. This all began to change for Cody when he discovered, through embracing one of the very fundamental principles of American culture and constitutional law in the 2nd amendment, that the American Empire, in its drive to dominate, is very different in practice than the original spirit of the founding documents of the Republic. Freedom, justice, and liberty for all no longer seems to apply - if it ever did. But the one great lesson Cody’s experience may remind us is that in order to enjoy such virtues, one must always stand ready to defend them.
