Topics include: the rise of maritime city states out of the rubble of the Bronze Age Collapse, iron-forging as disruptive technology, questioning the class structure of this era and defining who the “aristocracy” actually were, intra-elite struggles between nouveau riche and “old money” landowner factions, the curious co-existence of free and slave labor, the slave mode of production’s rapid expansion during the so-called golden age of Athenian “democracy”, the rise of coinage via Philip II of Macedonia’s mercenary armies, Alexander’s construction of a vast Eurasian web of city states connected by “currency”, and more… Subscribe to the Return of the Repressed: https://www.patreon.com/thereturnoftherepressed For access to full-length premium SJ episodes, upcoming installments of DEMON FORCES, and the Grotto of Truth Discord, become a subscriber at https://patreon.com/subliminaljihad

  Dimitri and Khalid examine the philosophical oeuvre of Peter Thiel’s favorite Stanford professor, the French Catholic academic René Girard, including: Girard’s core theories of mimetic rivalry and the scapegoat mechanism, his hot takes about why Christianity is different from every other religion, pagan gods-as-sacralized victims of communal violence, using the devil to drive out the devil, Thiel’s disturbing 2004 paper “The Straussian Moment”, his sus efforts to blend Girardian ideas with those of Leo Strauss and Nazi legal theorist Karl Schmitt to revitalize Western Civilization, becoming the Anti-Christ to stop the Anti-Christ (Greta Thunberg), JD Vance’s gallingly two-faced embrace of Girardian Catholicism, Thiel installing memetic rivalry as the core dynamic of 21st century social media platforms, and more… For access to the full-length episode, upcoming installments of DEMON FORCES, and the Grotto of Truth Discord, subscribe at https://patreon.com/subliminaljihad.

• *UNLOCKED* [#260] THE NEXT WAR: Trump, Mexican “Cartels”, & the Monroe Doctrine on Steroids

  To better understand Trump’s current military posturing towards Mexican drug “cartels”, Dimitri and Khalid look for clues in a 1998 book by Reagan Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and “Victory” author Peter Schweizer called “The Next War”: a fever-dream Tom Clancy technothriller describing five potential future US military conflicts with North Korea & China, Iran, Mexico, Russia, and Japan. Topics include: how the Iran and Russia scenarios have partly come to fruition, Oswaldo Zavala’s “Drug Cartels Do Not Exist”, the ont-op of “Mexican Drug Cartels” in public discourse from academia to popular TV shows like “Narcos”, how The Next War’s sinister left-populist “President Ruiz” character foreshadows the smearing of Nicolas Maduro and Claudia Sheinbaum as “narcopoliticos”, the inseparability of the US deep state and drug trafficking networks, and more...

  Dimitri and Khalid expand their investigation into the most recent batch of Epstein files, including: Bill Gates Foundation advisor (and scorned Bill Gates mistress?) Dr. Melinda Walker riffing with Epstein about blockchain health data technology and launching some kind of QVC biotech platform in partnership with (the justifiably soft-purged Chinese billionaire) Jack Ma and Jeff Bezos; EDGE Foundation/Reality Club digerati John Brockman and his extremely hits-different-now interviews in the 2003 German documentary “The Net: The Unabomber, LSD, and the Internet”; and last but not least, a long-overdue suscheck of OG dirtbag alt-journalist, Yippie, Merry Prankster, Mae Brussell publisher, sponsor of MK-Ultra troubled teen/gifted child experimental schools, and dear friend of Jeffrey Epstein, PAUL KRASSNER.
