Enjoy the cutest thing in the world- my wife’s pair of tiny Netherland dwarf bunnies, Neville & Luna, being munchbuddies! 😁

"He has no interest whatsoever in the Army ... It is my opinion that Private Hendrix will never come up to the standards required of a soldier. I feel that the military service will benefit if he is discharged as soon as possible." -Sgt. James Spears, report on Pvt. James Hendrix, May 24, 1962

Please enjoy today’s Dick Pic!

I just reissued, for the 2024 Christmas season, Dangerous History ep. 89, "The Christmas Truce," made all the way back in 2014, but tragically even more relevant now than it was back then.

This episode was originally recorded & released in Dec. 2014, the first Christmas after I started doing the Dangerous History Podcast. Here it is, ...

"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency...Always there has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant sums demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real." -Gen. Douglas MacArthur, 1957

Happy Deliberate Sacrifice of 2,403 Pawns so FDR Could Get the US Fully into WWII Day!

Trying a new experiment to up my following: posting dick-pics. Well, here goes! 🤞🏻 ⬇️

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! 👊🏻

The Simpsons used to be so damn funny

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.

Ever since we put up the tree, this has been his favorite place to flop when he’s out for playtime.

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.
