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

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

DHP Ep. 278: DHP Villains: Woodrow Wilson, Pt. 14
In this installment of the Woodrow Wilson series, he gets us into war.
Join CJ as he discusses Woodrow Wilson’s presidency from late-1916 through early April of 1917, when he gives one of the most famous and (tragically) influential speeches in American history, asking Congress to pass a war resolution against Germany in order to make the world safe for democracy & create the League of Nations, a resolution passed by huge margins in both Houses, despite strong public opinion to the contrary.

Ep. 0276: Back in the USSA
This DHP episode features an interesting conversation CJ had with a listener named Frank (who’s a physicist currently working in academia) in the aftermath of the 4th & final session of CJ’s recently-concluded DHP Live-ceum course “The Decline & Fall of the Soviet Empire,” in which, following some discussion of details about the end of the USSR, they discuss some of the ways in which US institutions (especially – though not exclusively – academia) have been ideologically captured & thoroughly corrupted & degraded in ways that are reminiscent of Soviet institutions.
