Myth of the 20th CenturyAlexander the Great - with James LaFond (Myth20c - Ep285)Born into royalty in 356BC and tutored by none other than Aristotle himself, Alexander the Great was born into power and privilege. While lesser men would have opted for a life of ease and erudition - Alexander set out on a path that would change history forever. From the day he assumed power after witnessing his father’s assassination as a young man to conquering the Persian empire before he turned 30, the King of Macedon brought about long lasting cultural, trade, and military effects on the people of the near and middle east well into the Roman era. Tonight we...2025-01-192h 58
Myth of the 20th CenturyReturn of the Champion - James LaFond - After Dark (Myth20c - 280)America has a relatively short modern history, often glossed over by historians more interested in the old and ancient world. To author and independent historian James LaFond, however, this has created an opportunity to uncover some of the more fascinating yet often unspoken truths spanning from the history of slavery, combat and sports culture, and the criminal underworld. Tonight James shares his stories of living in what he refers to as Plantation America, and also gives us insight into his writing process and what it takes to truly develop a deep understanding of the myths and truths guiding our...2024-11-123h 31
Myth of the 20th CenturyArgentina - Chainsaw Economics (Myth20c - Ep264)Located at the southern end of South America and comprising much of Patagonia, a region known for its ruggedly beautiful, yet empty expanses, Argentina is a country distant geographically as well as one metaphysically often forgotten. That all changed last year when Javier Milei won election to President and perhaps most notably held a rally wielding a chainsaw, promising to slash government bureaucracy and free up the society in an attempt to revitalize the long-struggling economy, plagued for decades by slow growth, chronic inflation, and currency crises. Tonight, we are joined by returning guest Lynn Lockhart, who has family...2024-01-222h 09

Myth of the 20th CenturyFood Security, Supply and Shortages – with James LaFond
With a spate of recent news stories about fires and other incidents forcing closures of over 20 food processing and distribution centers in the United States, Canada and Europe this year, people have started wondering if there has been a concerted effort to undermine food security in and around the industrialized world. Comparing to previous years, there is a noticeable uptick in incidents, but taken in the broader context of a system consisting of tens of thousands, not just dozens, of functioning facilities, the apparent crisis appears manageable at worst, or highly overblown at best. To help us sort out...2022-05-0700 min

In small societies, such as hunter-gatherers, warrior tribes, or rural farmers, honor and reputation form a large part of one’s personal stock and trade. In larger civilizations, however, where power is measured in money and influence, honor becomes an inconvenience to accumulating wealth for the unscrupulous. The last honorable man – in a society of scoundrels – is at a distinct disadvantage. Today in America, or should we say the broader Western World, find ourselves at a point where the rewards for controlling others, and the punishments for those that resist that control, are straining the remnants of a once honora...2021-10-1900 min

The concept and the imagery in this short piece are strikingly similar to the Nords Saga, which LaFond began years ago. I really believe that James and Howard share something uncanny that we can witness in their fiction. If you en...2021-05-2510 min

Set in the Rocky Mountains in the not too distant future, ‘Ghost Snatchers’ is a novel by James LaFond about an army of SJWs and their legions of color descending upon the last remaining redoubt of heritage Americans using Afghanistan War tactics. Originally scheduled to talk about his book, James joins us this evening just as the formula of lockdowns and riots perfected in 2020 is set to reignite as the nation braces for the outcome of the Derek Chauvin trial for the murder of George Floyd, and yet another apparent excessive use of force was on display in Minneapolis with...2021-04-1700 minMyth of the 20th CenturyMyth of the 20th Century – James LaFond
“With the departure into the study of modernist philosophy as a psychotoxin hostile to ethnic identity and masculine solidarity, Rosenberg is creeping up the steps to the final crime scene of WWI that his quest is calibrated to somehow reverse. He is the coroner invited by his conscience and his own well- tempered sword of reason to conduct the inquest concerning the death of Western Civilization, who somehow convinces himself that he can reanimate the corpse once he has ascertained the cause of death. Rarely has a more heroic work of literature been attempted than The Myth of the 20th...2021-01-2700 minMyth of the 20th CenturyJames LaFond – Waking Up in Indian Country
If the events of 2020 have had a common theme, it is there is nowhere to hide. If the plague doesn’t get you, the riots will, followed by a helpful dose of economic displacement and firestorms from 20,000 simultaneous lightning strikes as seen in California recently. If this all doesn’t make one believe in a higher power, one at least can concede there are forces at work bigger than ones own control. In ‘Plantation America’, as author and martial artist James LaFond terms it, you were never meant to be in control. Now living from city to city with a backpa...2020-08-2700 minMyth of the 20th CenturyBarbarism vs. Civilization – James LaFondIt’s been a few months since we last spoke with James LaFond, but in the mean time the world has gone from civilized to ??? seemingly overnight, and James has re-emerged from his time spent out West writing and training to return to the Imperial auspices of the East Coast to connect with old friends and observe the Corona Clampdown up close. Along the way James has written a treatise on the parallels between Red and Blue State America and the ancient rivalries between the Greek empires of Athens and Sparta during the Peloponnesian War, and the ramifications for co...2020-04-3000 minMyth of the 20th CenturyReturn of Champions – Fighting for Territory in the Ruins of CivilizationJames LaFond, author, fighter, and anthropologist of all things urban and unseen by the aspirational and increasingly disconnected bourgeois classes of American cities rejoins the crew tonight for a much overdue conversation. Since we last spoke James has traveled and lived in various cities across the country, spent a night on the streets of Manhattan, and even managed to train a few listeners to the podcast on hand to hand combat and mixed martial arts. Always insightful and a pleasure to talk to, James remains one of the most honest and perceptive members of the growing class of people...2019-07-2400 min
