    Propaganda and the Palestinian Cause

    The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 212 The entire world is turning today around the "Palestinian" Cause, but what is it? It is a fabrication. It is a manipulation. It is a forgery. It is a psyop. This fact, and the many facts it is based upon, is plainly and beautifully articulated in Danny Burmawi's (https://x.com/DanBurmawy ) new book Islam, Israel, and the West: A Former Muslim's Analysis (https://amzn.to/4y7rgAQ), which New Discourses recommends, especially for beginners to the subject. Burmawi himself is a Christian ex-Muslim who originally hails from Jordan, lived many years as a Christian in Lebanon, and has since moved to the United States where he has established the Ideological Defense Institute (https://idicenter.org/) (IDI) (https://x.com/idicenter). In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads just a little over two short sections from Burmawi's book to introduce the realities of the so-called "Palestinian Cause" to New Discourses listeners. Join him to understand that much with that situation is not as it appears. [Full disclosure: James Lindsay is on the IDI board of advisors, but Burmawi did not ask him to produce this podcast.] Join us for the Preserving Liberty Conference at Sea!: https://ndcruise.com Support New Discourses: https://newdiscourses.com/support Follow New Discourses on other platforms: https://newdiscourses.com/subscribe Follow James Lindsay: https://linktr.ee/conceptualjames © 2026 New Discourses.

  2. Traditionalism with a Capital T: A Parasite on the Right

    Traditionalism with a Capital T: A Parasite on the Right

    New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 168 We're seeing a lot from the Right about a return to tradition... or is it to "Tradition"? As it turns out, there's yet another example of a twisted esoteric philosophy out there that uses a term we're all familiar with in a specific way most of us don't even know about. That school of thought is called "Traditionalism" and has a very peculiar, esoteric (Gnostic) understanding of the concept of a capital-T "Tradition" that's like New Age turned inside-out and upside-down. Like almost all such things, it is a kind of ideological parasite that lures people into something bad through something that seems to be something good, even necessary. In this important episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay pulls back the curtain on this parasitical esoteric ideology that's seducing good men and women on the Right and pulling them into darkness. Join him to find out what it is.

    The Real Word for "Globalism"

    New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 167 Most of us, if you are a fan of New Discourses, at least, are opposed to "globalism," but we have a rather thin understanding of what it represents. That's because we're lacking the correct vocabulary, as usual. In this case, the word we need is "mondialism," which is a kind of one-world philosophy. The trouble is, our opposition to mondialism runs in parallel to other less savory forms of opposition to mondialism, such as we see from the New Axis, particularly Russia and the multipolarist agenda, though in the opposite direction. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay introduces you to the term "mondialism" and explains what it is and how it fits into the complicated conflicts we see all over the world. Join him for much-needed clarification.

    The Nazi Experiment, Vol. 16: What Hitler Got Right, Wrongly

    The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 211 Hitler didn't like parliaments. Indeed, much of his political formulation was based on his absolute hatred for them. Interestingly, his critiques of parliamentary bodies in Mein Kampf is largely correct, if a bit polemical. This introduces an interesting situation where Hitler is correct on a narrow but important point and then proposes the wrong kind of solution to it, in this case a dictatorial tyranny. Such a situation can be particularly seductive for someone who doesn't realize better alternatives exist. When confronted with a genuine problem correctly articulated and a proffered solution, that solution looks very attractive even when it's wretched. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay continues the Nazi Experiment series in a sixteenth volume by exploring Hitler's critique of parliaments and uses it to paint a stark contrast between the American Experiment and the Nazi Experiment. Join him to understand even more deeply how brilliant and insightful the American founders were at setting America apart from European disasters.

  5. Islam Is Sharia

    Islam Is Sharia

    New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 166 Here in the West, we talk a lot about Islam and Sharia as though they're separate things. They are not separate things. Islam means submission. Submission is expressed through the Divine Law called Sharia. Therefore, Islam means submission to God through keeping Sharia. According to Sayyid Qutb in his 1964 book Milestones (https://amzn.to/4xviKeR), "This is Islam. There is no other meaning of Islam." Since Qutb is widely regarded as the intellectual foundation for the current Muslim Brotherhood, we should perhaps take this view seriously. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay makes this point clear, reading straight from Qutb. Join him to understand that there's no difference between Islam and Sharia.

    The Three Sides in the Ukraine War

    The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 210 Moral clarity on the Ukraine War has been difficult for many Republicans. There are reasons for that, some good, some less good. For one thing, the Democrats in the name of what seems to be some bizarre globalist agenda, which is the precise thing many Republicans reject, went all in on Ukraine, demanding more and more support. For another, this triggered an isolationist streak in the American Right that was inflamed by deliberate Russian propaganda to get Republicans to pull back or even to support Russia or Putin himself. In this state of confusion, the truth is often that there are not two conflicting sides but at least three. Here, there are three conflicting philosophies of global organization competing, and the American Right is slow to figure this out. In this important episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay uses as Russian source, Aleksandr Dugin's The Foundations of Geopolitics (1997) (https://amzn.to/4eEmXnG) to make these three competing philosophies clear. Join him to gain much-needed moral clarity on this important issue.

    Twenty-First Century Propaganda Is Interactive

    New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 165 The propaganda we face in the twenty-first century has a new and different character that we must rapidly make ourselves aware of. It's interactive. That is, rather than just feeding you agitation or propaganda in order to engage you, the propaganda methods of the social-media age influence you by giving you contoured feedback on what you post: likes, reposts, shares, criticism, ratios, and all of that. By intervening in what looks like an organic response to your own materials, this "interactive propaganda" environment can lead people down almost any primrose path or even into madness. In this important episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this new form of propagandistic manipulation. Join him and prepare yourself.

    Milestones, Vol. 3: The Basic Nature of Islam

    The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 209 One of the best ways to understand something is to turn to its sources and see for ourselves. We've made a brand of that here at New Discourses, in fact. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes us back into Sayyid Qutb's 1964 book Milestones (https://amzn.to/4xviKeR), which is considered something of an intellectual underpinning for the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Islam ever since. He raises an important question about how seriously we should take Qutb and points out the problem that tens, if not hundreds, of millions of people already do. In this third episode of his series presenting Qutb's Milestones, he weaves a patchwork from all parts of the book to explain the basic nature of Islam, at least as Qutb and his followers see it. Join him for an eye-opening experience.
