    Unregistered 253: Paul VanderKlay

    As the guest instructor in the Unregistered Academy course on the Bible, Paul VanderKlay spoke with me and our students about Christian asceticism and what he calls Christ's command to "colonize history." It was far and away the most illuminating and moving conversation I have had on the subject of religion.

    Unregistered 252: Glenn Diesen

    I was joined by Glenn Diesen, a leading scholar of Russian foreign policy and geopolitics and one of a tiny few who oppose US and NATO support for Ukraine, to discuss the long history of Russophobia, the irrational fear and hatred of Russia that has driven western policies in Eurasia from the time of Peter the Great to the era of Vladimir Putin.

    Unregistered 251: Jake Werner

    As news came out that a Congressional committee recently simulated war with China, I sat down with Jake Werner, the chief China expert at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, to examine his argument that the Chinese Communist Party poses no threat to Americans.

    Unregistered 250: Per Rudling

    For our course at Unregistered Academy on the history of the relationship between the US and Ukraine, I conducted an interview with Professor Per Rudling of Lund University in Sweden, whose unpublished work on the decades-long collaboration between the CIA and Ukrainian Nazi collaborators reveals the source of the current Ukrainian government's official ideology and the origin of the war with Russia.

    Unregistered 249: AMA

    In this long overdue Ask Me Anything edition of Unregistered, I answer questions from Patrons of the show about the politics of self interest, the perennial appeal of Ayn Rand, Christian ethics in left-wing politics, why conservatives don't like women's freedom, the problems with evolutionary psychology, the reactionary essentialism of the trans movement, Norman Finkelstein's multiple apostasies, the Zionist creation of the Holocaust, and the value of Critical Race Theory.

    Unregistered 248: Norman Finkelstein

    Since 2007, Norman Finkelstein has been blacklisted from academia and considered a pariah among the liberal establishment for his fierce criticism of the state of Israel and what he calls "the Holocaust industry." He joined me to discuss his new book, I'll Burn That Bridge When I Get To It, which is an equally provocative attack on identity politics in the contemporary left.

You are calling out propaganda, but some of what you claim is also propaganda.

The reality is that both Russia and the USA have meddled in Ukrainian affairs for decades. You can’t just start at 2014

A different take on topics

It’s hit of miss with his guests and topics, but the good ones are really interesting.

Libertyburro ,

Woodhouse interview

I love it, a discussion on drug addiction, including fentanyl obviously, and this “expert”, who’s really just a run of the mill drug warrior, doesn’t mention methadone, Suboxone or MAT in general. Ya know, the ONLY optionsthat actually works to help addicts. But, of course, he endorses detox, rehab, and good old locking people in cages, none of which has ever worked or will ever work. I’m going to have a laugh discussing this with my OUD patients tomorrow, and the fact that they are powerless slaves to their disease because drugs are so much more potent these days!! Paging Harry J Anslinger…
