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. -- Brought to you by -- Adam Smith and Hans Lander New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - http://myth20c.com ~~-- Donations --~~ Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7 BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - High Plains Drifter, Eastwood (1973) - Cadillac Desert, Reisner (1986) - Mulholland Drive, Lynch (2001) - America's biggest source of renewable energy is crumbling to bits, Harrington (2016) - https://www.businessinsider.com/us-dams-need-updating-2016-2 - Wetworks - a History of Water Management in America, Myth of the 20th Century (2019) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2019/08/11/wetworks-a-history-of-water-management-in-america/ - Colossus - Hoover Dam and the Making of the American Century, Myth of the 20th Century (2019) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2019/08/16/colossus-hoover-dam-and-the-making-of-the-american-century/ - Herbert Hoover - Building a Legacy, Myth of the 20th Century (2020) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2020/08/06/herbert-hoover-building-a-legacy/ - Hydroelectric Power - IB Physics, Andy Masley's IB Physics Lectures (2020) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rgh_3uVgHg - Calculating the power a turbine can generate on a hydroelectric scheme using Bernoulli’s equation, Fluids Explained (2020) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rgh_3uVgHg - What Really Happened at the Oroville Dam Spillway?, Practical Engineering (2021) - https://practical.engineering/blog/2021/5/17/what-really-happened-at-the-oroville-dam-spillway - Benefits of Snake River dams must be replaced before breaching to save salmon, report says, Geranios (2022) - https://www.opb.org/article/2022/08/25/snake-river-dams-washington-salmon/ - Hydropower Resource Assessment and Characterization, Oak Ridge National Laboratory - https://www.energy.gov/eere/water/hydropower-resource-assessment-and-characterization

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. -- Brought to you by -- Nick Mason, Adam Smith and Hans Lander New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - http://myth20c.com ~~-- Donations --~~ Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7 BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Shock Therapist, Passell (1993) - https://www.nytimes.com/1993/06/27/magazine/dr-jeffrey-sachs-shock-therapist.html - Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy, PBS (2002) - https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/commandingheights/ - The Future of the Obama Coalition, Edsall (2011) - https://archive.nytimes.com/campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/27/the-future-of-the-obama-coalition/ - Underground - The Tokyo Gas Attack and Japanese Psyche, Myth of the 20th Century (2017) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2017/11/30/underground-the-tokyo-gas-attack-and-japanese-psyche/ - Standard Operating Procedure - Torture and the Abu Ghraib Scandal, Myth of the 20th Century (2019) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2019/05/22/standard-operating-procedure-torture-and-the-abu-ghraib-scandal/ - Princes of the Yen - The Rise and Fall of Japan, Inc., Myth of the 20th Century (2020) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2020/11/20/princes-of-the-yen-the-rise-and-fall-of-japan-inc/ - Leaked Amazon Whole Foods Docs: Workforce Diversity Helps Prevent Unions, Menahan (2020) - https://www.newswars.com/leaked-amazon-whole-foods-docs-workforce-diversity-helps-prevent-unions/ - American Pravda: "The Truth" and "The Whole Truth" About the Origins of Covid-19, Unz (2021) - https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-the-truth-and-the-whole-truth-on-the-origins-of-covid-19/ - Jeffrey Sachs Presents Evidence of Possible Lab Origin of Covid-19, Lerner (2022) - https://theintercept.com/2022/05/19/covid-lab-leak-evidence-jeffrey-sachs/ - Famed economist Robert Shiller says there is a ‘good chance’ of a recession—it’s a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’, Daniel (2022) - https://fortune.com/2022/06/08/recession-prediction-economist-robert-shiller-inflation-consumer-confidence/ - Myth20C On CIA ‘Mind Control Torture’, BannedHipster (2022) - https://bannedhipster.home.blog/2022/07/29/myth20c-on-cia-mind-control-torture/ - The inside story of how America tracked down and killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, Tomilson et. al.

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.

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. -- Brought to you by -- Very special guest Borzoi with Nick Mason and Adam Smith New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - http://myth20c.com ~~-- Donations --~~ Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7 BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- Lawrence of Arabia, Lean (1962) The Sultans, Barber (1973) Age of Empires II, Microsoft (1999) The Ottoman Endgame, McMeekin (2016) The Fall of the Ottomans, Rogan (2016) Useful Enemies, Malcolm (2019) The Ottomans, Baer (2021)

As a $60 billion a year investment bank engaged in market making and asset management for equities, fixed income, commodity and derivative securities for large institutional clients, Goldman Sachs, having been founded in 1869, is arguably the world’s most recognizable name on Wall Street. Known for attracting some of the best financial talent, it is both respected and feared, in some cases being accused of “ripping their clients off” in the relentless pursuit of profits. Defenders of firms like Goldman Sachs make a big deal about how they’re instrumental in the efficient allocation of (financial) capital, but one could argue the concentration of highly intelligent and motivated individuals operating what amounts to a glorified casino is a gross misallocation of human capital, robbing other critical sectors of talent that would otherwise have gone to engineering real solutions, not financial ones. -- Brought to you by -- Adam Smith, Hans Lander and Nick Mason New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - http://myth20c.com ~~-- Donations --~~ Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7 BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - The Fountainhead, Rand (1943) - Atlas Shrugged, Rand (1957) - Bullitt, Yates (1968) - Vanishing Point, Sarafian (1971) - Money of the Mind: Borrowing and Lending in America from the Civil War to Michael Milken, Grant (1992) - From tech stocks to high gas prices, Goldman Sachs has engineered every major market manipulation since the Great Depression -- and they're about to do it again, Taibbi (2009) - https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-great-american-bubble-machine-20100405 - Debt: The First 5,000 Years, Graeber (2011) - Opinion: Why I Left Goldman Sachs, Smith (2012) - https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/14/opinion/why-i-am-leaving-goldman-sachs.html - Why I Left Goldman Sachs: a Wall Street Story, Smith (2012) - What Happened to Goldman Sachs: an Insider’s Story of Organization Drift and Its Unintended Consequences, Mandis (2013) - Henry Ford – Life, Work and Legacy, Myth of the 20th Century (2017) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2017/09/21/henry-ford-life-work-and-legacy/ - Tiananmen - The Gate of Heavenly Peace, Myth of the 20th Century (2022) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2022/02/25/tiananmen-the-gate-of-heavenly-peace/ - Goldman Sachs Reportedly In Talks With FTX For Bitcoin, Crypto Derivatives, Amick (2022) - https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/goldman-sachs-and-ftx-in-talks-for-bitcoin-crypto-derivatives

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. -- Brought to you by -- Very special guest James LaFond - https://lockhartandlafond.substack.com/, https://www.jameslafond.com/ James LaFond on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tabooyou Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jameslafond Lynn Lockhart & The Crackpot Podcast - BitChute - https://www.bitchute.com/channel/crackpotpodcast/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChfybQ3WBKBnCksVkoSmPYg - Latest fiction - The Last Whiteman - https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/james-lafond/the-last-whiteman/hardcover/product-7n8wd9.html - Recent Plantation America - https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/james-lafond/advent-america/hardcover/product-nemm9r.html with Adam Smith and Nick Mason New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - http://myth20c.com ~~-- Donations: https://www.patreon.com/MYTH20 --~~ BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - Arable Land in the United States, Baker (approximately 1915) - https://naldc.nal.usda.gov/download/IND43843137/PDF - Plagues and Peoples, MacNeil (1976) - Barbarians of Asia: The People of the Steppes from 1600 B C, Legg (1990) - Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed , Scott (1998) - Robert Rogers: The Original Army Ranger, Tactical-Life (2016) - https://www.tactical-life.com/lifestyle/military-and-police/robert-rogers-rangers/ - Against the Grain, Scott (2017) - LA Riots - Racial Powderkeg, Myth of the 20th Century (2018) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2018/02/14/la-riots-racial-powderkeg/ - Myth of the 20th Century - James LaFond, Myth of the 20th Century (2021) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2021/01/27/myth-of-the-20th-century-james-lafond/ - The Iliad - After Dark, Myth of the 20th Century (2022) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2022/02/08/the-iliad-after-dark/ - Some Supply Chain Notes on A Resource Yet to be Targeted by the Elites - Cheese Count, James LaFond (2022) - https://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=13596 - Are Fires at Food Processing Plants a ‘New Trend’?, Evon (2022) - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/food-processing-plant/ - The Biden administration will pay farmers more money not to farm, Brown (2022) - https://thecounter.org/biden-administration-farmers-conservation-reserve-crp-usda-vilsack/ - DAY-AFTER-DAY: Fire erupts in California food processing plant, Bexte (2022) - https://thecountersignal.com/fire-erupts-in-california-food-processing-plant/ - Natural News - https://www.naturalnews.com/index.html - Ice Age Farmer - https://www.iceagefarmer.com/ - Our World in Data - https://ourworldindata.org/

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. -- Brought to you by -- Nick Mason, Adam Smith and Hans Lander New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - http://myth20c.com ~~-- Donations --~~ Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7 BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - The Decline of the West, Spengler (1918) - The End of History and the Last Man, Fukuyama (1992) - Clash of Civilizations, Hungtington (1996) - Homo Americanus, Sunic (2007) - The Better Angels of our Nature - Why Violence has Declined, Pinker (2011) - Tom Sunic - Homo Americanus, Myth of the 20th Century (2019) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2019/05/15/tom-sunic-homo-americanus/ - Tiananmen - The Gate of Heavenly Peace, Myth of the 20th Century (2022) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2022/02/25/tiananmen-the-gate-of-heavenly-peace/ - Preparing for a Wake-Up Call, The Prudentialist (2022) - https://theprudentialist.substack.com/p/preparing-for-a-wake-up-call?s=r - Russia Is Back, and So Is History, McCulloch (2022) - https://www.unz.com/article/russia-is-back-and-so-is-history/ - Democrats want the war to go on: Greenwald, Yahoo!

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. -- Brought to you by -- Adam Smith, Hans Lander and Nick Mason New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - .. ~~-- Donations --~~ Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7 BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - Dr. Strangelove, Kubrick (1964) - Passenger 57, Hooks (1992) - Japan Arrests 17th Official In the Lockheed Bribe Scandal, New York Times (1976) - https://www.nytimes.com/1976/08/21/archives/japan-arrests-17th-official-in-the-lockheed-bribe-scandal.html - Light out, Seattle, Boswell and McConaghy (1996) - https://special.seattletimes.com/o/special/centennial/november/lights_out.html - The Aviator, Scorsese (2004) - Hub-and-Spoke vs Point-to-Point Transport Networks, Cornell (2011) - https://blogs.cornell.edu/info2040/2011/09/14/hub-and-spoke-vs-point-to-point-transport-networks/ - Boeing To Build 737 Completions Plant in China, Polek (2015) - https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/aerospace/2015-09-23/boeing-build-737-completions-plant-china - The Big Fraud - Savings and Loan Crisis, Myth of the 20th Century (2018) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2018/11/14/the-big-fraud-savings-and-loan-crisis/ - Skunkworks - Lockheed’s Legacy, Myth of the 20th Century (2019) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2019/03/20/skunkworks-lockheeds-legacy/ - F-35 Joint Strike Fighter - a Lockheed Insider’s Story, Myth of the 20th Century (2019) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2019/07/18/f-35-joint-strike-fighter-a-lockheed-insiders-story/ - Sullenberger: MCAS Exposed a Failed System, Leopold (2019) - https://www.eetimes.com/sullenberger-mcas-exposed-a-failed-system/ - General Dynamics - The Defender, Myth of the 20th Century (2021) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2021/04/09/general-dynamics-the-defender/ - Boeing’s Fatal Flaw, Frontline (2021) - https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/boeings-fatal-flaw/ - Downfall: The Case Against Boeing, Netflix (2022) - Boeing Overview - https://www.boeing.com/resources/boeingdotcom/company/general_info/pdf/boeing_overview-16x9.pdf - Boeing General Info - https://www.boeing.com/company/general-info/index.page

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. -- Brought to you by -- Adam Smith, Hans Lander, Hank Oslo and Nick Mason New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - .. ~~-- Donations --~~ Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7 BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - The Ukraine Crisis, Myth of the 20th Century (2022) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2022/03/16/the-ukraine-crisis/ - Why Russia Can't Survive Tech Sanctions, TechAltar (2022) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV_4M9R8Ggs - Trade Map - https://www.trademap.org/Index.aspx

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. -- Brought to you by -- Dr. Matthew Raphael Johnson - The Russian Orthodox Medievalist - https://www.rusjournal.org/ Dr. Johnson’s books: https://theorthodoxnationalist.wordpress.com/category/books-for-sale/, https://www.amazon.com/Matthew-Raphael-Johnson-Ph-D/e/B08223LKBF/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1 Dr. Johnson at Radio Albion - https://www.radioalbion.com/search/label/The%20Orthodox%20Nationalist Support Dr. Johnson at: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Fr_Raphael Donately: https://pages.donately.com/therussianorthodoxmedievalist/form/frm_699f77c6b7e9?_ga=2.172956011.991220881.1642547754-1756711112.1642378452 Mail: POB 304, Tire Hill PA, 15959-0304 Scan to Pay: https://theorthodoxnationalist.files.wordpress.com/2022/01/1642188731939-1.jpeg Bitcoin: 1N69aThxjU3x1p7Eov9HNkftc28EVLMaWF also with Nick Mason and Adam Smith -- References -- - The Rise and Decline of the Soviet Economy, Allen (2001) - Russian Populist: The Political Thought of Vladimir Putin, Johnson (2012) - http://barnesreview.org/product/russian-populist-the-political-thought-of-vladimir-putin/ - The Russian Revolution and its Consequences - Dr. Matthew Raphael Johnson, Myth of the 20th Century (2019) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2019/11/27/the-russian-revolution-and-its-consequences-dr-matthew-rafael-johnson/ - The Orthodox Nationalist: General Alexander Lebed - TON, Johnson (2019) - https://www.radioalbion.com/2019/03/the-orthodox-nationalist-general.html - The Soviet Experiment, Johnson (2019) - https://barnesreview.org/product/the-soviet-experiment-challenging-the-apologists-for-communist-tyranny/ - Ukrainian Nationalism, Johnson (2019) - https://www.amazon.com/Ukrainian-Nationalism-Matthew-Raphael-Johnson/dp/1698191618 - The Foreign Policy of Mass Society: The Failure of Western Engagement in the Islamic World, Johnson (2019) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0823VNPQC/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i3 - The New Russia - Dr. Matthew Raphael Johnson, Myth of the 20th Century (2020) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2020/08/13/the-new-russia-dr-matthew-rafael-johnson/ - Pentagon says Polish proposal to transfer jets to US to give to Ukraine isn't 'tenable’, Atwood (2022) - https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/08/politics/poland-jets-ukraine-russia/index.html - EXCLUSIVE-Facebook and Instagram to temporarily allow calls for violence against Russians, Vengatattil, Culliford (2022) - https://www.reuters.com/article/ukraine-crisis-meta-platforms-idCNL3N2VD40U - Russia Adjusts to “Sanctions from Hell”, Bhadrakumar (2022) - https://www.globalresearch.ca/russia-adjusts-sanctions-from-hell/5774075 - Why Russia Can't Survive Tech Sanctions, TechAltar (2022) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV_4M9R8Ggs - Shanghai Cooperation Organisation - http://eng.sectsco.org/ - Paul Craig Roberts - https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/ - Global Research - https://www.globalresearch.ca/ - Shadow Stats - http://shadowstats.com

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. -- Brought to you by -- Nick Mason, Adam Smith and Hans Lander New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - .. ~~-- Donations: https://www.patreon.com/MYTH20 --~~ BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- The Gate of Heavenly Peace, Hinton and Gordon (1995) - Mao and Founding of the People’s Republic of China, Myth of the 20th Century (2018) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2018/06/20/mao-and-founding-of-the-peoples-republic-of-china/ - Pat Buchanan: China Is a Far Greater Menace to the US Than Russia, Fed Up Eagle (2018) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ0QRTuv5ns Alex Jones Emergency China Transmission, Infowars (2019) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqxxIHvpYOI - A Chat with Adam Smith of Myth of the 20th Century, Lamprey Milt’s Show (2022) - https://www.bitchute.com/video/M01oL90gX5bv/ - San Francisco school board recall prompts media reckoning over woke weariness: 'Progressivism gone wild’, Rutz (2022) - https://www.foxnews.com/media/san-francisco-school-board-recall-media-progressivism - George Soros on China: Remarks Delivered at the Hoover Institution, Soros (2022) - https://www.georgesoros.com/2022/01/31/george-soros-on-china-remarks-delivered-at-the-hoover-institution/ - Soros calls for regime change in China, Russia Today (2022) - https://www.rt.com/news/547892-soros-regime-change-china/

The history of the Trojan War, assiduously studied and thoroughly documented today, was passed down through the centuries not by academic text, but by oral tradition. The conduit for communication, rather than scholarly prose, was the campfire poetry best told in the Iliad by Homer, author of the other great Greek epic The Odyssey. How much of the details of the story were true, such as the role of the Gods, versus artistic embellishment are of less import, but rather how the stories and myths of such great events - incorporating the essentials of love, lust, power and corruption - proved equally a reflection as much as an influence on the foundations of culture in the ancient Greek world and by extension the greater West. -- Brought to you by -- Hans Lander, Hank Oslo, Nick Mason and Adam Smith New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - .. ~~-- Donations: https://www.patreon.com/MYTH20 --~~ BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - Iliad, Homer (800 BC) - The Greek Myths, Graves (1955) - Gates of Fire, Pressfield (1998) - Troy, Petersen (2004) - Alexander, Stone (2004) - 300, Snyder (2006) - The War Nerd Iliad, Dolan (2017)

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. -- Brought to you by -- Very special guest Borzoi and Titus @hereliesthighs with Adam Smith, Hans Lander, Nick Mason and Hank Oslo New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html -

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. - Gustave Le Bon, The Crowd -- Brought to you by -- Very special guest Borzoi New Book - Cultured Grugs: Dispatches From America in Collapse - https://antelopehillpublishing.com/product/cultured-grugs-dispatches-from-america-in-collapse/ with Nick Mason, Hans Lander and Adam Smith New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - .. ~~-- Donations: https://www.patreon.com/MYTH20 --~~ BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, Le Bon (1895) - Propaganda, Bernays (1928) - Google “Machine Learning Fairness” Whistleblower Goes Public, says: “burden lifted off of my soul”, Project Veritas (2019) - https://www.projectveritas.com/news/google-machine-learning-fairness-whistleblower-goes-public-says-burden-lifted-off-of-my-soul/ - SHADOW GATE - FULL FILM by Millie Weaver - 2020 - https://www.bitchute.com/video/DS7CN67XL1lb/ - Dune - After Dark, Myth of the 20th Century (2021) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2021/04/29/dune-after-dark/ - Half a Million South Korean Workers Join One-Day General Strike, Mehta (2021) - https://www.leftvoice.org/half-a-million-south-korean-workers-join-one-day-general-strike/

“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. -- Brought to you by -- Adam Smith, Hank Oslo and Nick Mason New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - .. ~~-- Donations: https://www.patreon.com/MYTH20 --~~ BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - From Newspeak to Cyberspeak, Gerovitch (2004) - Ip Man, Yip (2008) - Red Plenty, Spufford (2012) - A Touch of Sin, Zhangke (2013) - Ash is the Purest White, Zhangke (2018) - Demoralization and Yuri Bezmenov, Bismarck (2021) - https://identitydixie.com/2021/10/26/demoralization-and-yuri-bezmenov/?sfw=pass1639005848 - China, Real Estate, and Covid-19, Milt (2021) - https://theamericansun.com/2020/09/10/china-real-estate-and-covid-19/ - Coase Theorem - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coase_theorem - Diet Problem - https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/pdf/10.1287/opre.49.1.1.11187 - Solving a large (n>1000000) linear system of equations - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60210992/solving-a-large-n1000000-linear-system-of-equations - Leontief Models - https://math.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Applied_Mathematics/Applied_Finite_Mathematics_(Sekhon_and_Bloom)/02%3A_Matrices/2.06%3A_Applications__Leontief_Models

Since the early days of European colonization in North America, the great abundance of natural resources was apparent to settlers and their colonial sponsors alike. Timber was chief among these, as the tremendous size and unspoiled nature of the forests that spanned from Canada down through Florida provided fuel, building materiel, and a source of jobs for a great many people. As the centuries progressed, and the frontier closed on the Pacific, America started having to contend with the fact that its resources were not unlimited, and the very real consequences to the environment as well as to the communities living amongst the trees of restrictions on logging had to be weighed. Today, it is less so the forest owl that is endangered, but instead the very notion of an American small town living away from large cities, self sufficient, and able to provide a life that for many was quintessentially free and working class. -- Brought to you by -- Hans Lander, Adam Smith and Nick Mason New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - .. ~~-- Donations: https://www.patreon.com/MYTH20 --~~ BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - Sometimes a Great Notion, Kesey (1964) - Sometimes a Great Notion, Newman (1971) - The Visible Hand, Chandler (1977) - From the American System to Mass Production, 1800-1932: The Development of Manufacturing Technology in the United States, Hounshell (1985) - Historical Effects of Logging of the Forests of the Cascade and Sierra Nevada Ranges of California, Laudenslayer and Darr (1990) - https://www.fs.fed.us/psw/publications/laudenslayer/psw_1990_laudenslayer_wildlife.pdf - Rambo - First Blood, Myth of the 20th Century (2017) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2017/12/13/rambo-first-blood/ - A Billion-Dollar Fortune From Timber and Fire, Sorvino (2018) - https://www.forbes.com/feature/archie-emmerson-timber-forest-fires-logging/#3b92258864f9 - The Visible Hand: The Managerial Revolution in American Business, Myth of the 20th Century (2021) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2021/05/14/the-visible-hand-the-managerial-revolution-in-american-business/ - Japan's Timber Trade and Forestry - http://www.jatan.org/eng/japan-e.html

In the genre of horror literature, most plots revolve around the protagonists contending with a threat that is trying to kill them. In Thomas Ligotti’s works, however, the threat is not necessarily an external one, but that of existence itself. In his characteristically pessimistic way, Ligotti’s view is that with suffering outweighing the joys of life, one must seriously consider the point of continuing life at all. In this special Halloween ‘After Dark’ episode, we are joined by Titus to explore the depths of ‘malignant uselessness’ after a brief review of the recent re-release of the Frank Herbert classic ‘Dune’. -- Brought to you by -- Titus @hereliesthighs with Nick Mason, Hank Oslo, Hans Lander and Adam Smith New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - .. ~~-- Donations: https://www.patreon.com/MYTH20 --~~ BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - Hunger, Hamsun (1890) - Call of Cthulhu, Lovecraft (1926) - Dune, Herbert (1965) - The Hour of the Wolf, Bergman (1968) - Dune, Lynch (1984) - Less Than Zero, Ellis (1985) - Sect of the Idiot, Ligotti (1988) - The Last Feast of the Harlequin, Ligotti (1990) - The Bungalow House, Ligotti (1995) - Dune, Harrison (2000) - Teatro Grottesco, Ligotti (2008) - The Conspiracy Against the Human Race: a Contrivance of Horror, Ligotti (2010) - Enemy, Velleneuve (2013) - It Follows, Mitchell (2014) - The Wailing, Hong-jin (2016) - Lovecraft - After Dark, Myth of the 20th Century (2020) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2020/10/30/lovecraft-after-dark/ - Dune - After Dark, Myth of the 20th Century (2021) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2021/04/29/dune-after-dark/ - Dune, Villeneuve (2021) - PseudoPod 350: The Bungalow House - https://pseudopod.org/2013/09/06/pseudopod-350-the-bungalow-house/

In small societies, such as hunter-gatherers, warrior tribes, or rural farmers, honor and reputation form a large part of one’s personal stock and trade. In larger civilizations, however, where power is measured in money and influence, honor becomes an inconvenience to accumulating wealth for the unscrupulous. The last honorable man - in a society of scoundrels - is at a distinct disadvantage. Today in America, or should we say the broader Western World, find ourselves at a point where the rewards for controlling others, and the punishments for those that resist that control, are straining the remnants of a once honorable tradition of truth, justice, and a spirit of independence. Tonight we are joined by James LaFond, author and anthropologist on the rise and fall of many such civilizations throughout history. — Brought to you by — Very special guest James LaFond - https://lockhartandlafond.substack.com/, http://jameslafond.blogspot.com/ James LaFond on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tabooyou Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jameslafond Lynn Lockhart & The Crackpot Podcast - BitChute - https://www.bitchute.com/channel/crackpotpodcast/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChfybQ3WBKBnCksVkoSmPYg Hobo History: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUGFNmpkv3J54k28WgJUNIw New: Pulp Fiction Renaissance - https://pulpfictionrenaissance.com/ - https://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=12834 - ‘How Many Books Are You Writing?’ - https://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=7427&t=258 Books by James LaFond - https://jameslafond.blogspot.com/p/bookstore.html, https://www.bookdepository.com/search?searchTerm=james+lafond&search=Find+book Special Title Image Credit: @Akhilleus_Ilias with Hans Lander, Nick Mason and Adam Smith New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html -- References -- - Illiad, Homer (800 BC) - Odyssey, Homer (750 BC) - Beowulf, Unknown (750) - 1984, Orwell (1949) - The Naked Prey, Wilde (1965) - The Shadow of the Torturer, Wolfe (1980) - Ivory Tower - White Slavery, Myth of the 20th Century (2018) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2018/07/04/ivory-tower-white-slavery/ - The Progressive Era - Roots of American Bureaucracy, Myth of the 20th Century (2018) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2018/09/05/the-progressive-era-roots-of-american-bureaucracy/ - Barbarism vs. Civilization - James LaFond, Myth of the 20th Century (2020) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2020/04/29/barbarism-vs-civilization-james-lafond/ - Federal Protection of “Oath Keepers” Kingpin Stewart Rhodes Breaks The Entire Capitol “Insurrection” Lie Wide Open, Revolver (2021) - https://www.revolver.news/2021/06/stewart-rhodes-oath-keepers-missing-link-fbi-unindicted-co-conspirator/ - Masks for waiters and servants - but not for AOC and the rest, Smith (2021) - https://nypost.com/2021/09/15/masks-for-waiters-and-servants-but-not-for-aoc-and-the-rest/ - Tourists in Spain must wear masks inside until spring 2022, Coffey (2021) - https://www.msn.com/en-gb/lifestyle/travel/tourists-in-spain-must-wear-masks-inside-until-spring-2022/ar-AAPq5VQ - Three Black Women Beat Asian Restaurant Hostess.

In the aftermath of the Second World War, Europe - particularly the Axis Power countries - was the prime battleground for dominance between the emergent superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union. Along with East and West Germany, Italy was similarly divided along ideological lines, with pro-American, typically business-oriented interests, pitted against mostly communist and Soviet-sympathizing labor movements. In between were the fascists, who sought to retain or adapt the system for the post war era that had held power officially for over 20 years prior to the war. Between 1969 and 1980, the Cold War turned hot for civilians and ideologues alike, with estimates putting the death toll over 400 from a series of assassinations and bombings. Amidst it all, the Italian government pursued the ‘Policy of Tension’, which many saw an attempt to inflame the violence in order to bolster the demand for a security state. In America today, the parallels with grassroots conflict and state agent provocateurs is notable if not striking. -- Brought to you by -- Special Guest Patrick of Surviving Weimerika https://odysee.com/@SurvivingWeimerika:f https://www.bitchute.com/channel/39xAeeOyopRq/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUv5qhzxLibhHfxbp_uYpUA Nick Mason, Hans Lander and Adam Smith New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html -- References -- - The Leopard, Visconti (1963) - La Disintegrazione del Sistema, Freda (1969) - Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion, Petri (1970) - Stefano delle Chiaie.

“All the democratic circles in America and Europe, in particular the Italian intelligence agency, know very well that the catastrophic attack was planned and carried out by the American CIA and Mossad, with the help of the Zionist world, to accuse the Arab countries and to persuade the Western powers to go into Iraq and Afghanistan.” -former Italian President Francesco Cossiga (quoted in Corriere della Sera, 2007) -- Brought to you by -- Very special guest Banned Hipster - https://bannedhipster.home.blog More on Hipster’s appearance on Myth - https://bannedhipster.home.blog/2021/09/10/my-appearance-on-myth-of-the-20th-century/ with Adam Smith, Hans Lander, Hank Oslo and Nick Mason New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - .. ~~-- Donations: https://www.patreon.com/MYTH20 --~~ BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm, Feith et. al (1996) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Clean_Break:_A_New_Strategy_for_Securing_the_Realm - Donald Trump Calls Into WWOR/UPN 9 News on 9/11, Fox 5 New York (2001) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcKlPhFIE7w - Report: CIA Lost Office In WTC, CBS News (2001) - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-cia-lost-office-in-wtc/ - Global Warfare: “We’re Going to Take out 7 Countries in 5 Years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan & Iran..”, Clark (2007) - https://www.globalresearch.ca/we-re-going-to-take-out-7-countries-in-5-years-iraq-syria-lebanon-libya-somalia-sudan-iran/5166 - Jesse Ventura on CNN w/ Piers Morgan Sept. 17th, 2012 Full Interview HD, Piers Morgan Tonight (2012) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y40We-O7qAc - A Good American, Moser (2015) - Donald Trump's 9/11 bomb theory on the day of terror attack which destroyed World Trade Center, Snell (2018) - https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/donald-trumps-911-bomb-theory-13227061 - Gary Corbett Discusses the WTC Power Downs, Banned Hipster (2021) - https://bannedhipster.home.blog/2021/09/06/gary-corbett-discusses-the-wtc-power-downs/ - Scott Forbes Discusses The WTC Power Downs, Banned Hipster (2021) - https://bannedhipster.home.blog/2021/09/06/scott-forbes-discusses-the-wtc-power-downs/ - US Army Patent For “Thermite destructive device”, Banned Hipster (2021) - https://bannedhipster.home.blog/2021/09/05/us-army-patent-for-thermite-destructive-device/ - 9/11: Susan Lindauer and Richard Fuisz, Banned Hipster (2021) - https://bannedhipster.home.blog/2021/09/05/9-11-susan-lindauer-and-richard-fuisz/ - Richard Gage Fired From AE911 Truth Due To Spike Lee’s Censored HBO Documentary, Banned Hipster (2021) - https://bannedhipster.home.blog/2021/09/07/richard-gage-fired-from-ae911truth-due-to-spike-lees-censored-hbo-documentary/ - List of 9/11 Victims - http://www.nyc.gov/html/om/pdf/2011/list_of_names_2011.pdf - Free-Fall Acceleration | World Trade Center Building 7, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth - https://www.ae911truth.org/evidence/free-fall-acceleration

Philosophy is a subject many engage in casually during parties, pillow chat - or even podcasts. But philosophy as a discipline is a field reserved for those serious - or fortunate enough - to have the time to dedicate to it. Usually concerning the more fundamental questions of existence and society, in the most basic sense philosophy is leading an examined life. In the the case of Plato, questions of good governance - for the good of the people if not by the people - make him one of the more controversial figures in the modern era. Yet his legacy, and the critical questions of how best to rule one’s society - have yet to be convincingly countered by his critics. -- Brought to you by -- Nick Mason, Hans Lander and Adam Smith New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html -- References -- - The Peloponnesian War, Thucydides (431 BC) - The Republic, Plato (375 BC) - The Prince, Machiavelli (1532) - The Adams-Jefferson letters : the complete correspondence between Thomas Jefferson and Abigail and John Adams, Cappon (1988) - https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=04B4B9A9A9C168C84C7C662CD2462043 - A War Like No Other, Davis Hanson (2005) - Don't tolerate the intolerant, wrote philosopher Karl Popper during his stay in NZ, Harvie (2019) - https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/christchurch-shooting/111390530/dont-tolerate-the-intolerant-wrote-philosopher-karl-popper-during-his-stay-in-nz - Barbarism vs. Civilization - James LaFond, Myth of the 20th Century (2020) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2020/04/29/barbarism-vs-civilization-james-lafond/ - Beowulf - After Dark, Myth of the 20th Century (2021) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2021/01/21/beowulf-after-dark/

As the US officially draws down its presence in Afghanistan, the Taliban has wasted no time in reclaiming territory, forcing the American military to send in 5,000 marines to defend its Kabul embassy from becoming overrun. Meanwhile, the domestic war on ‘vaccine hesitants’ has brought about even more draconian measures on travel and employment. Tonight the full crew comes together to discuss the ever present reminders that great power, corruption and incompetence are lethal combinations. -- Brought to you by -- Hans Lander, Hank Oslo, Nick Mason and Adam Smith New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - .. ~~-- Donations: https://www.patreon.com/MYTH20 --~~ BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - The Bill for the Afghanistan War Is $2.26 Trillion, and Still Rising, Losey (2021) - https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/04/16/bill-afghanistan-war-226-trillion-and-still-rising.html - Afghanistan - a Retrospective, Myth of the 20th Century (2021) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2021/07/19/afghanistan-a-retrospective/ - An Open Letter to Joe Biden on Afghanistan, Miller and Kristol (2021) - https://www.thebulwark.com/an-open-letter-to-joe-biden-on-afghanistan/ - Taliban capture Kabul, marking final victory as Afghanistan collapses [Updated], Schogol (2021) - https://taskandpurpose.com/news/taliban-victory-kabul-afghanistan/ - Potential Hot Spots: Burma And The Myanmar Martyrs, StrategyPage (2021) - https://www.strategypage.com/qnd/pothot/articles/20210813.aspx - H.R.4980 - To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to ensure that any individual traveling on a flight that departs from or arrives to an airport inside the United States or a territory of the United States is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and for other purposes, Congress.gov (2021) - https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/4980?q=%7B%22search%22:[%224980%252 - Adam Kinzinger, Chris Murphy Tweet Contradicting Memories From Afghanistan Trip, Lemon (2021) - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/adam-kinzinger-chris-murphy-tweet-contradicting-memories-from-afghanistan-trip/ar-AANkeQd - Jennifer Rubin In WaPo: Census Proves Great Replacement Is Real And You Losers Need To Surrender, Sailer (2021) - https://vdare.org/posts/jennifer-rubin-in-wapo-census-proves-great-replacement-is-real-and-you-losers-need-to-surrender - USSOCOM Library - https://jsou.libguides.com/welcome

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. -- Brought to you by -- Nick Mason and Adam Smith New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - .. ~~-- Donations: https://www.patreon.com/MYTH20 --~~ BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - Das blaue Licht, Riefenstahl (1932) - Der Sieg des Glaubens, Riefenstahl (1933) - Triumph des Willens, Riefenstahl (1933) - Olympia, Riefenstahl (1938) - Miracle, O’Connor (2004) - Rocky IV, Stallone (1985) - Hitler’s Olympics : The 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, Hilton (2006) - Homo Americanus, Sunic (2007) - Tom Sunic – Homo Americanus, Myth of the 20th Century (2019) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2019/05/15/tom-sunic-homo-americanus/

Landlocked and at the ancient crossroads of the Mongol, Persian, Alexandrian and British empires, Afghanistan has long held a history as a conduit for other peoples. In more recent history, the Soviet occupation from 1979 to 1989 was only succeeded very briefly by a local Taliban coalition to then be knocked out by the United States in 2001. With the American military finally leaving its 20 year occupation behind, the Afghani peoples of various Pushtun and other assorted tribes once again look to an uncertain future - with the firm knowledge that whoever tries to conquer them next will likely reaffirm the Afghanistan sobriquet of the ‘Graveyard of Empires’. -- Brought to you by -- Very special guest Old Hickory with Adam Smith and Hank Oslo New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - .. ~~-- Donations: https://www.patreon.com/MYTH20 --~~ BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - Rare Earth: Afghanistan Sits on $1 Trillion in Minerals, Live Science (2014) - https://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/rare-earth-afghanistan-sits-1-trillion-minerals-n196861 - Quarrelsome start to US-China summit in Alaska, Malaysia Now (2021) - https://www.malaysianow.com/out-there-now/2021/03/19/quarrelsome-start-to-us-china-summit-in-alaska/ - The Bill for the Afghanistan War Is $2.26 Trillion, and Still Rising, Losey (2021) - https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/04/16/bill-afghanistan-war-226-trillion-and-still-rising.html - A Generation of Afghan Professionals Flees Ahead of Taliban Advance, Trofimov (2021) - https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-generation-of-afghan-youth-afghanistan-american-troops-pullout-taliban-biden-11625667435 - Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan - https://alemarahenglish.net/

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.
