The decline of the American Empire is really pulling down the standard of living for all of us — even the elites.
I mean, just a few generations ago our rulers were dining on fine wine & caviar, but now they mostly just eat pizza & grape soda.

The IDF attacked the USS Liberty on June 8th, 1967, killing 34 Americans, wounding 171 & nearly sinking the ship.
LBJ helped cover it up.
Were the Israelis trying to prevent the Liberty from collecting evidence of Israeli atrocities? Or was the attack a botched false-flag op that LBJ was in on?

2025-08-01 20:34:27 UTC

Today I just recorded the first segment of a DHP episode I've been quietly working my ass off on in recent weeks. I've said almost nothing about this publicly, other than maybe a very vague tweet or two.
The topic is this: The Israeli attack on the USS Liberty on June 8th, 1967.
This is a topic I've intended to cover on the DHP eventually at some point. But with the Israeli-American conflict with Iran, & then Trump's complete 180 on the Jeffery Epstein scandal, I felt compelled to set aside a lot of other things I was working on to push the Liberty story to the front of the queue.
This story is infuriating & largely unknown to Americans today. Over the course of several hours, Israeli planes & torpedo bots attacked an American ship in international waters, killing 34 Americans & wounding 171, & nearly sinking the ship. Even though the Liberty was flying an American flag & had identifying marks prominently visible on its hull, the Israeli government claimed it was a tragic mistake, & the US government largely let them get away with it, one example of many that the US-Israeli "alliance" is actually only one-way in terms of costs vs. benefits.
I'm working as hard as I can to try to get the Liberty DHP episode done by Monday. I think I can do it, but it'll be a pretty big episode. (My notes for it are 27 pages & I'm still adding to them here & there even though I've started recording, which is par for the course for me.)

(The fancy powdered-wig guys in Philly would take almost 15 months to catch up & declare it with ink & parchment.)

He made it. Under lots of pressures, as presidents always are. But he chose to go with the pro war pressures, against the antiwar ones. The majority of average Americans wanted to stay out, & he chose to go against them (and a lot of his own good instincts) because he wanted to use the war as an opportunity to remake the world. Up till Dec 1916/Jan 1917, he believed he could do this as a neutral mediator. But by Feb-March 1917, his mediation efforts had all failed, & there was no chance he’d be able to shape the peace as simply a mediator, without US participation in the war, so he got us into war.

To add a little bit more: I find Eisenhower to be one of the most interesting Americans of the 20th century. Lots of tensions & contradictions, though I think a case could be made he was the least bad POTUS post-WW2, all things considered. But he was really bad on unleashing the Dulles brothers to start the CIA on its path of destruction ever since. Possibly the only thing I think Truman was better on than Ike was trying to keep the CIA on a very short leash.

“To whom does war bring prosperity? Not to the soldier who ... shoulders his musket and goes into the trench, there to shed his blood and to die if necessary; not to the brokenhearted widow who waits for the return of the mangled body of her husband; not to the mother who weeps at the death of her brave boy; not to the little children who shiver with cold; not to the babe who suffers from hunger; nor to the millions of mothers and daughters who carry broken hearts to their graves. War brings no prosperity to the great mass of common and patriotic citizens... War brings prosperity to the stock gambler on Wall Street--to those who are already in possession of more wealth than can be realized or enjoyed."

Woodrow Wilson was narrowly reelected in 1916, primarily because he pretended to be much more anti-war than he actually was. To learn more on that and other things, check out my latest DHP episode! 👇🏻

I just published Episode 13 in my Woodrow Wilson series, covering events in 1916, including Wilson's reelection campaign.

From my favorite Socialist in American history:
“Mr. Wilson, who had all his life been opposed to militarism, has now become the avowed champion of plutocratic preparedness, and today he stands before the country pleading in the name of Wall Street and its interests for the largest standing army and the most powerful navy in the world.”
-Eugene Debs, campaigning for a US House seat in 1916, while Woodrow Wilson was running for reelection as POTUS
Debs, based as usual on war issues, saw through the BS of Wilson's "he kept us out of war!" campaign messaging.

Well, I powered through being sick & managed to record all of Woodrow Wilson Part 13 today.
On the morrow shall be The Editing.

This Thanksgiving I’m thankful that I’m still alive, still sober, still married, still not homeless, & still on the upswing (across the board) in life despite many trials & tribulations.
And I’m thankful for my listeners, without whom I wouldn’t have made it this far.
PS-Woodrow Wilson Part 13 is in the works, trying to get it finished over Thanksgiving weekend. I’ll be thankful if I’m able to do so. 😉

Been working like mad on research & notes for a while & now tomorrow the plan is to start laying down some tracks for Woodrow Wilson Pt 13! 👊🏻

American academia has been captured & corrupted for propagandistic purposes for well over a century now:
"In World War I American academic intellectuals committed themselves to serving the needs of the state. The role they played committed them to priorities that fettered their critical intelligence and warped their judgment; the work they produced in the service of the state seriously departed from responsible scholarship...
"...[T]he state of academic freedom depends largely on the professoriate itself, for they reveal the extent to which professors themselves were involved in wartime violations of academic freedom. The crisis of war exposed the repressive underside of majority sentiment on the campus; it exposed a lack of commitment to academic freedom within the profession at large and a willingness even of its chief defenders to bend the principle to the pressures of the moment..."
-Carol Gruber, Mars and Minerva: World War I and the Uses of Higher Learning in America
Things haven't changed at all in the last century; if anything, they've only gotten worse. The biggest obstacle to intellectual freedom in academia comes via horizontal enforcement from the professors themselves.

Never forget that the president who put the US on the path of global domination, a path characterized by perpetual warfare for a perpetual peace that never actually materializes, is also the only president who had a Ph D & whose entire pre-political career was spent in academia.

FYI - Currently hard at work on DHP Villains: Woodrow Wilson. This will be lucky #13 in the series, in which he’ll get reelected on an anti-interventionist platform (“He kept us out of war!”) & then less than a month after starting his second term - he gets us into war.
Hopefully I’ll get it done before our current rulers get us into the second sequel to Wilson’s folly. Like most sequels, it looks like it’ll be even bigger & dumber than its predecessors.

I had quite a surprise during my run when I bumped into Senator McConnell taking a stroll. I guess he’s on vacation here, taking a break from representing the interests of Ukrainian oligarchs & the American Merchants of Death.

Just finished running 6 miles nonstop, including going across a big tall bridge & back. I think I’m on a good trajectory (👊 on 🪵) to FINALLY do the 7 Mile Bridge Run in the FL Keys in just over 4 months.
Twice in recent years I’ve bought a ticket for the race but wasn’t able to do it - in 2022 (bit by a dog while training & needed rabies shots) & 2023 (going through alcohol withdrawal that was worse & took longer than I expected.)
This spring I didn’t even buy a spot because I knew I wouldn’t be able to because my wife was going through her last big spinal surgery.
April ‘25 is gonna be the one.
When you fall, get back up. 💪

Just published a new episode of Archetopical, "The Hardest Part of the Hero's Journey," about why the 'death & rebirth' step is always the hardest & scariest, but also why, the more fear & difficulty you have to overcome, the greater will be the reward when you make it through.
