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.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 164 A popular line of propaganda since the Fascists and Nazis has been that Bolshevism, also called "Marxism-Leninism," is Jewish in origin, philosophy, and execution. It is even tied to the imaginary conspiracy of Jewish globalist control spelled out in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The thing is, there's only the tiniest kernel of truth hiding in this lie, which is otherwise overwhelmingly false. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay goes through the facts about Jewish support and involvement in the Bolshevik (later, Communist) movement in Russia and beyond. Join him to learn how far the propaganda and salacious accusations are from reality.

As antisemitic and anti-Jewish propaganda rises across the West (largely catering to recent imported audiences), we're forced to confront its most egregious and damaging source, a 1903 book compiled by the Russian Tsar's Secret Police (Ohkrana) called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. This fabrication was a bit of darkest black propaganda organized by the Russian Empire's tyrannical leadership between 1899 and 1903. Its purpose was to help the regime consolidate its power by alleging a dark conspiracy of Jews headed by the fictitious group called the Learned Elders of Zion. The book is a complete fabrication, a completely exposed forgery, but its damage has been relentless for over a century. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this wretched book and its impact, tying it to the black propaganda and conspiracy theories of "Jewish Supremacy" still circulating popularly today. Join him to understand what you're seeing out there.

How American Foreign Aid to Israel Supports America
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 162 We hear a lot these days about the foreign aid money the United States sends to Israel, but most people don't know how that money works. Now, we see Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling to wind down and terminate that foreign aid deal, which operates under a "Memorandum of Understanding" agreement, while President Trump seems less happy about it. Why would Israel want out and Trump be unhappy? The reason is that the arrangement helps Israel in a strategic way but primarily benefits America and Americans, exactly the opposite of what we hear in the propaganda. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay goes through some of the details of the enormous return on investment that money has been bringing to America and how it works. Join him to cut through the lies.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 161 Totalitarian projects are peculiar. They're obsessed with telling us who man is and then controlling who man can become from their unique theories about our true nature. Within each, though, is a particular fantasy about who man is outside of sin (and what defines the nature of sin and depravity). The theological word, at least in Christian circles, for this sinless man is "prelapsarian man," that is, man before the Fall. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explores the prelapsarian fantasies of Communists and Nazis and discusses how they inform the thinking of these two totalitarian cousins. Join him for a uniquely deep look into the totalitarian mindset and the strange fantasies of Communism and Nazism.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 160 At the heart of the Communist project is "seizing the means of production." But what does this really mean? Is it just taking control of factories and farms and "expropriating the expropriators," as Marx had it, or is there something deeper? In this fascinating episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay takes a unique look at the concept of seizing the means of production in terms of taking control of the production of humanity itself within different totalitarian schema. For the Communists, it's economic; for the Fascists, it's nationalist; and for the Nazis, it's racial production they're seizing, all with the purpose of remaking man into what he was always supposed to be. Join him for this fascinating look into the real evils of totalitarianism in a way few have ever seen them.
