E Michael Jones: Medjugorje

Send us a text Dr. E Michael Jones returns to Boreas Podcast to recount his personal history investigating and writing on the Medjugorje apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a history summarized in his 1998 book "The Medjugorje Deception: Queen of Peace, Ethnic Cleansing, and Ruined Lives." Dr. Jones communicated with highest-level representatives of US goverment and the Catholic Church during his investigative work. Our discussion touches on the suspect spirituality of the phenomena and morality of the individuals involved in promoting them to thousands of pilgrims over the decades, and on their connection to regional, global, and church politics and controversies.

Das Kapital Mistake

Send us a text Marx titled his magnum opus Das Kapital, yet he completely botched what capital actually is. Here's the real definition: capital is the power to influence the behavior of others—and it's generated not by factories or machinery but by converging desires. The moment two people want the same fish, that fish becomes capital. If Elon Musk survives nuclear apocalypse alone in a bunker with mountains of gold and machines, his capital is exactly zero—because capital exists in relationships, not objects. This is why Marx, the ultimate "supply guy," couldn't see that the dainty lady shopping for dresses and the factory owner exploiting workers are caught in the same mimetic web. In this episode, I argue that capital has existed "since the monkeys," that both capitalists and communists worship the same materialist idol, and that the real escape isn't revolution or free markets—it's walking away from the fascination entirely.

Knights and Kapitalists

Send us a text Marx got feudalism wrong. Medieval knights weren't cunning exploiters hoarding the means of production—they were sacrificial figures whose privilege was justified by their willingness to die in battle. In this episode, I trace the strange transition from sacred warfare to sacred shopping, revealing how European aristocrats literally traded away their power for diamond buckles (Adam Smith's words, not mine). What emerges is a picture Marx couldn't see: capitalism and communism aren't opposites but rival cults worshipping the same materialist idol through different rituals. The real story isn't class struggle—it's Christianity slowly weaning Western civilization off the violent sacred of war toward the (somewhat) less bloody sacred of economic competition. And the communists? They responded to this progress by lunging backward into the most archaic form of resolution: mob formation, scapegoating, and blood sacrifice on an industrial scale.

E Michael Jones: Interview

Send us a text In this conversation, Dr. E. Michael Jones and discuss themes from his book The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit, including the role of Christianity in shaping revolutionary movements. We explore points of the historical context of modern revolutionary rebellion. Dr. Jones contrasts righteous rebellion with sedition, critiques the impact of usury in modern society, and addresses the scapegoating of Jews. The discussion also touches on conspiracy theories, the end of the Third Republic (a concept Dr. Jones applies to the USA), and Hegel's philosophy, culminating in a reflection on faith and works in Christianity.

Marx's Materialist Fetish

Send us a text Karl Marx wrote how the bourgoisie feishized commodities—but what if he was blind to his own deeper fetish? In this episode, I argue that Marx only went halfway: he scorned capitalist markets while remaining utterly entranced by the altar of production itself. His enchantment was of the archaic or violent-sacred kind, and so it lead to archaic mobilization, persecution, and aesthetics. Part 2 of a 5-part series. Retry Support the show

The Communist Manifesto as Hypnotic Spell

Send us a text Communism was an archaic way of dealing with and worshipping materialism, a chief ideology of 19th century and modern times. In this episode, I look at the text of The Communist Manifesto, the famous originary pamphlet of communist revolutions, and explain why it contains the elements of a hypnotic spell. If communism is an archaic religion, texts like the Communist Manifesto are its ritual incantations. All rituals end in a sacrificial act. In this case, it's the immolation of the "bourgeoisie" and victory of the "proleteriat." This is Part 1 of a 5-part series. Support the show

The Cosmic Scrabble

Send us a text Continuing on the previous episode with the review of Stephen C. Meyer's book Return of God Hypothesis. This one goes over the impossible odds of assembling proteins or DNA to either begin or evolve life. Then, it goes over the digital or symbolic nature of information that encodes life and explains why natural laws in their ontological essence cannot produce such information. We distinguish orderliness of the type produced by natural laws with that produced by functional design seen in written language, computer code, or DNA code. We explain why the inference of intelligent design is the obvious conclusion arising from strictest standards of logic. This inference was the norm for the great founders of modern science, so why is it no longer the norm with us? Support the show

Without Form and Void

Send us a text A reading of my essay with the same title that reviews Stephen C Meyer's book Return of God Hypothesis. I go over the arguments of the book that debunk the materialist narrative around the Big Bang, or the beginning of the universe: 1) what's called the Fine Tuning Problem, with the the mathematical and physical impossibilities it exposes, and 2) the metaphysical absurdities that arise from the inability of science to establish the "ground of being." 3) I touch on the counterargument known as the Anthropic Principle. The next episode will cover the materialist failure to account for the origin and diversity of life. Support the show
