944 - Black Halberd Hashish Company feat Derek Davison & Eleanor Janega (6/19/25)
🕑 Added 2025-06-20 05:18:44 +0000 UTCChapo Chief Foreign Policy correspondent Derek Davison joins us first to continue monitoring the situation in the middle east: the continuing missile war between Israel and Iran, Trump’s disgusting will-he-or-won’t-he act, the fatalistic depravity of the whole thing, and where we might go from here.
Then: Derek is joined by his co-host & returning guest Eleanor Janega to discuss their new & shockingly relevant history mini-series on the Crusades! We discuss the exceedingly stupid historical context and characters of the medieval crusades, what they were actually about, what they actually accomplished, and how these conflicts maintain enduring relevance among the exceedingly stupid would-be-Crusaders of today.

YES! I AM A STUPID LOSER WHO WOULD GET MY ASS KILLED. Probably not even in battle. Probably from disease or dehydration or an infected sunburn. BUT MY SOUL WOULD BE GUARANTEED TO GET INTO HEAVEN, BABY!

Eleanor Janega is a great new voice on Chapo. My kind of girl: smart and funny.

Their is a centuries long battle between Christianity & Islam, however it isn't with Catholicism. Its Oriental & Eastern Orthodoxy and the Turks. Like the Armenian & Asyrian genocides, Armenian ethnic cleansing, or the Balkans.
