DHP Ep. 0283: We Are Ruled By Psychopaths

by Prof CJ | Dec 27, 2025 | The Dangerous History Podcast

"We are ruled by psychopaths." CJ did not coin that phrase, but he repeats it often, and he means it both literally & emphatically. This may sound crazy to many, but that perception is often based on a very mistaken understanding of what the term 'psychopath' really means. Join CJ on a deep dive into the true nature of psychopaths, how to spot them, how they operate, & why it's a very reasonable hypothesis to suspect that psychopaths are very disproportionately represented among corporate oligarchs, politicians, & government officials. Reminder: Now through the end of 2025, you...

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

by Prof CJ | Aug 12, 2025 | The Dangerous History Podcast

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,...

by Prof CJ | Feb 6, 2025 |

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.
