If the financial world were an iceberg, the tip would be our day to day experience at the checkout, what we read in the business press, and what even our own government tells us. The bulk of the financial system, however, is largely hidden, tucked away in offshore bank accounts, secret agreements between top bankers and regulators, and in understandings within the social clubs of the elite. Tonight we have the privilege to be joined by one who has spent time in those circles, but unlike most of them, is willing to share some of the details of their inner-workings. Because of the complex nature of the topic, we take time to go into areas otherwise obscured by arcana, but only with the intent of revealing the who, why, and what the puppetmasters behind some of the bigger events in recent history - including the COVID crisis and subsequent lockdowns - are really planning for us.

Myth of the 20th Century is a show that digs into the stories we think we know and examines the forces that shaped them. Guided by the principle "Only the truth is banned," this podcast peels back the layers of official narratives, exploring the intersections of history, current events, and power. Each episode is a deep dive into the foundational myths-political, social, and cultural-that define our modern world, particularly those emanating from and surrounding the American experience. The analysis is grounded in a belief that what is often presented as settled history is anything but, and that contemporary headlines cannot be fully understood without this crucial context. You'll hear detailed explorations of pivotal events, ideological movements, and the figures who championed or challenged them, all framed by a critical perspective that questions mainstream consensus. This isn't a recitation of dates and names, but a connective investigation into how the past actively informs the present. For those who find standard historical accounts lacking or suspect that news cycles are missing crucial depth, this podcast offers a different lens. It’s for listeners who want their history and politics presented without the usual filters, where the focus is on the underlying patterns and enduring consequences of twentieth-century dogma and ambition. Tune in for a challenging and consistently detailed audit of the century that made us, asking persistently whether the sun truly never sets on the American empire or if that itself is the most potent myth of all.
