EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Christian Secor joins Our Interesting Times to discuss his book The American Regime, now in its second edition. Originally written anonymously from prison following the events of January 6th, the book offers a provocative analysis of power, oppression, and the nature of the modern American political order.
The American Regime by Christian Secor, 2nd Edition:
Christian Secor: This book is dedicated to all the patriot dissidents held as political prisoners or otherwise repressed by the satanic regime which has seized power in the United States, but most especially the following:
ASHLEY BABBITT, an Airforce veteran who was shot in the neck, though she was unarmed, and whose murderer remains at large.
JOHN ANDERSON, a Marine Corps veteran murdered in prison by the state while being held indefinitely and illegally on fake charges. His murderers remain at large.
ROSANNE BOYLAND, who was beaten to death by Capitol Police, and whose murderer remains at large.
BENJAMIN PHILLIPS, hit on the head with a flashbang grenade. The police refused to help him while his heart had stopped. His murderer remains at large.
KEVIN GREESON, also killed by a flashbang grenade to the skull. The police refused to resuscitate him. His murderer remains at large.
MATTHEW PERNA, driven to suicide by the media and state because he trespassed in the “people’s house.”
To the prisoners and exiles of the RISE ABOVE MOVEMENT, whose only crime was to defend peaceful MAGA demonstrators from Antifa.
These are only a few. The regime’s many illegal acts of state terror are so numerous that they are difficult to count, but not a single one will be forgotten or unaccounted for.
I am proud of what I did. May these enemies of the people suffer many times what they have inflicted.
Powers and Principalities is a long-running podcast series co-hosted by Tim Kelly and Joseph Atwill.

Tim Kelly (full name Timothy Kelly) is an independent podcaster best known as the host of Our Interesting Times, a long-running show focused on alternative perspectives on history, politics, power structures, and critiques of mainstream narratives. Background and Personal Life Tim Kelly keeps a relatively low public profile regarding his personal biography. From interviews and descriptions:
He is a traditional Catholic, married, and father to 7 children.
He describes himself primarily through his work as a researcher and commentator on “interesting” (often hidden or revisionist) aspects of current and historical events.
Podcasting Work
Our Interesting Times (launched around 2015): His flagship podcast, hosted on Podomatic (tkelly6785757.podomatic.com), with nearly 1,000 episodes as of early 2026. It features in-depth interviews with authors, researchers, and thinkers on topics like historical revisionism, deep politics, media manipulation, and cultural engineering.
Frequent guests include E. Michael Jones, James Perloff, Donald Jeffries, and many others discussing subjects such as World War II myths, technocracy, oligarchic influence, and psychological operations.
Powers & Principalities: A recurring series (hundreds of episodes) co-hosted with Joseph Atwill (author of Caesar’s Messiah). These are often guest-free discussions delving into conspiracy-related themes, CIA influence in media/politics, Frankfurt School critiques, and current events through a lens of elite control and psyops.
Joseph Atwill (often called Joe Atwill) is an American independent scholar and author best known for his highly controversial thesis on the origins of Christianity.
Background: Atwill spent part of his youth in Japan, attending St. Mary’s International School, a Jesuit-run military academy where he studied Greek, Latin, and the Bible. He later studied computer science in college and co-founded several software companies before shifting focus to biblical and historical research around 1995.
After college (where he studied computer science), he co-founded software companies in the 1980s, including Ferguson Tool Company (with early IBM programmer David Ferguson) and Amalgamated Software of North America (ASNA). Around 1995, he sold his shares and exited the industry, providing the financial independence to pursue full-time independent research on biblical studies and history.
Why did Trump kidnap Maduro? Oil, minerals, drugs, voting machines, or was it something even darker that the MSM won’t even mention? Was this an assault on the City of London? Tom Luongo lays it all out.
Tom Luongo exposes what’s really going on with TRUMP & MADURO
The statement “You cannot have ethos without telos” captures a profound insight from ancient Greek philosophy, particularly Aristotle’s framework. Telos (τέλος) refers to the end, purpose, goal, or final cause of something—the inherent reason it exists or the ultimate aim it serves. Aristotle argued that everything in nature, human action, and society has a telos: an acorn’s telos is to become an oak tree; a knife’s is to cut effectively; a human life’s is eudaimonia (flourishing through virtuous activity).Ethos (ἦθος), in its original ethical sense (distinct from the modern rhetorical meaning of “credibility”), denotes character, moral habit, or the customary way of being that shapes virtuous behavior. It is the disposition formed by repeated actions aligned with excellence. Aristotle ties them inextricably in the Nicomachean Ethics: True ethos—good moral character—emerges only through actions directed toward the proper telos. Virtues (arete) are habits that enable us to fulfill our human purpose (rational, social flourishing). Without a guiding telos, actions lack direction, and character becomes aimless or malformed. You can’t cultivate genuine ethos (moral integrity) in a vacuum; it requires orientation toward an end worth pursuing. In modern terms:
Institutions (e.g., universities) falter when they lose a clear telos (truth-seeking vs. other agendas), eroding their ethical ethos.
Personal character similarly depends on purposeful living—drift without aim, and habits devolve into vice or emptiness.
The phrase isn’t a direct Aristotle quote but distills his teleological ethics: Character (ethos) is meaningless or impossible without purpose (telos). To build one is to pursue the other.
Wikipedia: Theodor Herzl was the founder of the modern Zionist movement. In his 1896 pamphlet Der Judenstaat, he envisioned the founding of a future independent Jewish state during the 20th century.
“During the reign of the Greek Emperor Heraclius, the Persian Emperor Chozroes attacked Jerusalem in the year 614 A.D. Chozroes pillaged the city, removed the Honorable Cross [of Christ] to Persia and took an enormous number of Christians into bondage, among them was Patriarch Zacharias. The Jews assisted Chozroes in committing evil against the Christians. Among the other Jewish wickedness, this one is mentioned: the Jews purchased from Chozroes 90,000 Christians as their slaves and slew them all.” – The Prologue of Ohrid (Feb 21) Jerusalem Holocaust 614: An Untold Chapter of History
The Rothschilds…
The Balfour Declaration (1917)
Grok: Baron Edmond de Rothschild played a significant role in supporting Jewish relocation to Palestine during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A member of the wealthy Rothschild banking family, he was a key philanthropist who provided financial and logistical support to early Zionist settlements, particularly during the First Aliyah (1882–1903). Here’s a concise overview:Financial Support for Settlements: Rothschild funded the establishment and sustenance of early Jewish agricultural colonies in Palestine, such as Rishon LeZion (1882), Zichron Ya’akov (1882), and Petah Tikva. He provided money for land purchases, infrastructure, and farming equipment, helping these communities survive their challenging early years.
Administrative Oversight: Rothschild sent administrators to manage the settlements he supported, ensuring efficient use of funds and resources. His involvement was hands-on, earning him the nickname “HaNadiv HaYadua” (the Known Benefactor) among Jewish settlers.
Economic Development: He introduced modern agricultural techniques, such as vineyards and wineries (e.g., Carmel Winery), to make settlements economically viable. This created jobs and attracted more Jewish immigrants seeking sustainable livelihoods.
Scale of Contribution: By the early 20th century, Rothschild is estimated to have invested millions of francs (exact figures vary, but roughly equivalent to tens of millions in modern USD) in Palestinian settlements. His support helped sustain around 20 settlements, housing thousands of Jewish immigrants, primarily from Eastern Europe.
Zionist Alignment: While not formally part of the Zionist movement initially, Rothschild’s actions aligned with its goals. He later collaborated with Zionist organizations, and his efforts laid groundwork for the Jewish National Fund’s land acquisition strategies.
The Haavara Agreement was a 1933 pact between Nazi Germany and Zionist organizations, primarily the Jewish Agency in Palestine, to facilitate the emigration of German Jews to British Mandatory Palestine while preserving some of their wealth. Signed on August 25, 1933, it was a response to the economic boycott of Germany by Jewish groups protesting Nazi anti-Semitism. The agreement allowed Jews to transfer a portion of their assets to Palestine, but only indirectly, through the purchase of German goods exported to Palestine, which were then sold to recover funds.

The True Story of The Bilderberg Group. The North American Union Edition by Daniel Estulin. Published 2009. Chapter Seven: Watergate Con Game pages 55 – 60
Tucker Carlson explains how the FBI and CIA conducted a coup to take out President Richard Nixon with help from journalist Bob Woodward.
“Richard Nixon was taken out by the FBI and CIA, and with the help of Bob Woodward.”
“[Woodward] was that guy. And who is his main source for Watergate? Oh, the number two guy at the FBI. Oh, so you have the naval intelligence officer working with the FBI official to destroy the president. Okay. So that’s a deep state coup.”
“Richard Nixon was elected by more votes than any president in American history in the 1972 election.”
“The most popular president in his reelection campaign, and two years later, he’s gone, undone by a naval intel officer, the number two guy at the FBI and a bunch of CIA employees.”
“You tell me what that is. Those are the facts. Those are not disputed facts.”
On today’s stack of stuff, there are two stories I’d like to highlight. One is the the removal of the 24 X 7 news channel PSB (Patriot Soap Box) from DLive and the other is the Citizens’ Grand Jury with John Cullen presenting some important new insights, pointing to the origin and purpose of the ‘pandemic’ we currently suffering under.
PSB (Patriot Soap Box)
While I can’t recite a detailed history of PSB, PSB seems to have been kicked off of almost every platform they have ever tried to build their content on– and now, DLive has removed their channel based on apparent false charges. Looks like DLive got the memo. I don’t like or agree with all the content on PSB, but there are a few excellent shows on the 24 X 7 news channel that are worth looking into; and in any event, they are ‘always on’ which is nice. You can read more about this from Radix Verum: DLIVE BANS PSB for STREAMING TRUMP RALLY with PERMISSION You can also find PSB on some of their alternative platforms on their link tree. Update: 6/7/21: Looks like DLive changed their mind. PSB back on DLive platform sometime Sunday 6/6/21.
Citizens’ Grand Jury with John Cullen
Citizens’ Grand Jury: John Cullen’s Testimony, with Larry Klayman, Dr Judy Mikovits, & Jason Goodman This is video evidence of a Citizen’s Grand Jury hearing that took place on June 3, 2021. The testimony you are hearing is sworn testimony, and Grand Jurors are viewing the hearing in real time. The opinions expressed by the witnesses may not be fact, and certainly does not constitute advice of any kind. This is a hearing. A legal proceeding. Whether the content of the testimony is factual, is for the Grand Jury to decide.
Aletho News (May 27, 2021): Dr. Peter McCullough (video below) has been the world’s most prominent and vocal advocate for early outpatient treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection in order to prevent hospitalization and death. On May 19, 2021, he was interviewed about his efforts as a treating physician and researcher. From his unique vantage point, he has observed and documented a PROFOUNDLY DISTURBING POLICY RESPONSE to the pandemic — a policy response that may prove to be the greatest malpractice and malfeasance in the history of medicine and public health.
Dr. McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, and Professor of Medicine at Texas A & M College of Medicine, Dallas, TX USA. Since the outset of the pandemic, Dr. McCullough has been a leader in the medical response to the COVID-19 disaster and has published “Patho-physiological Basis and Rationale for Early Outpatient Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection” the first synthesis of sequenced multi-drug treatment of ambulatory patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the American Journal of Medicine and subsequently updated in Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine. He has 40 peer-reviewed publications on the infection and has commented extensively on the medical response to the COVID-19 crisis in The Hill and on FOX NEWS Channel. On November 19, 2020, Dr. McCullough testified in the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and throughout 2021 in the Texas Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, Colorado General Assembly, and New Hampshire Senate concerning many aspects of the pandemic response.
Tim Kelly & Joe Atwill on Powers & Principalities: Episode 206 by Our Interesting Times – Austerity & False Scarcity – Tim quotes this article in the podcast: THE GREAT RESET: The Roots of the Great Reset Agenda – By Matthew J.L. Ehret
Say No To Soycialism by Daniel Natal – The New American Video: We are a society desperately in need of virtue. But “virtue” is rooted in the Latin word, vir, which means “man”. So virtue comes from a conception of “acting like a man”. So what happens when a society stigmatizes manliness and calls it “toxic masculinity”?
“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” *
Tim Kelly’s podcasts are some of the best anywhere on the internet in terms of well-researched, well-informed, dispassionate, objective information; but YouTube is ‘soft-blocking’ in an effective effort to limit his latest podcast with the following explanation:
“Certain features have been disabled for this video. In response to user reports, we have disabled some features, such as comments, sharing, and suggested videos, because this video contains content that may be inappropriate or offensive to some audiences.”
Remarkably, Carroll Quigley’s ‘Tragedy and Hope’ and his ‘Anglo-American Establishment’ omit much about Rockefeller; and this is no accident. Even an insider like Quigley must be careful not to reveal too much or to touch on certain topics as he demonstrated in his 1974 interview with Rudy Maxa of the Washington Post.
Kevin Cole explains:
Throughout the interview, Quigley incessantly signaled for the interviewer to turn off the tape recorder, and to be “discreet” and at one point even stated, “I don’t know if you want to put this on tape”… “You have to protect my future…as well as your own.” We may never know what Quigley was so afraid of or why he omitted so much of Rockefeller in his writings on the inside workings of the ‘network’.
So now we turn our attention to Josh G as he helps fill in some of the gaps Quigley and others left out of the story of the ruling oligarchs who control man’s destiny. You can read Josh’s PDF in the links below. Josh G starts with a holy grail of sorts, and an unlikely source, revisiting the incredible Business Plot to overthrow FDR. Through careful research, Josh G helps us understand Smedley Butler’s excellent book ‘War is a Racket’ is in reality a limited hangout or a partial reveal to deflect attention; and Smedley’s testimony before Congress on the infamous Business Plot was Smedley playing a role. We further discover the implausibility of Smedley being a Quaker as claimed and make some excellent connections within the small group of men who control our world, and –up until now– have had the freedom to write our history.
Luckily, two of my favorite podcasters, Tim Kelly and Joe Atwell, discuss Josh G’s article ‘The Bogus Business Plot’; and as they do, a much clearer picture begins to emerge that will help all of us discover our real history and the authors of this history.

Professor Carroll Quigley and the Article that Said Too Little: Reclaiming History from Omission and Partisan Straw Men by Kevin Cole Kevin Cole:While we can be grateful that someone had the foresight to sit down and record Quigley before he would pass away several years later, I can’t help but be disappointed with the missed opportunity to ask tough questions and actually report on them in the article that follows. We now know from listening to the audio tape that the article that followed the interview was selective in its scope and omitted many instances of Carroll Quigley seemingly in fear for his career and/or life if certain facts were disclosed. Throughout the interview, Quigley incessantly signaled for the interviewer to turn off the tape recorder, and to be “discreet” and at one point even stated, “I don’t know if you want to put this on tape”… “You have to protect my future…as well as your own.”

With the aid of the internet and the great research provided by Quigley, Sutton and Perloff, the real history of WWII can now be told, and it does make a difference.
Feb 13, 1945: Firebombing of Dresden
Over the years, I’ve been asked for my take on World War II many times. I’ve mostly avoided this topic only giving hints at my perspective (warning that it’s not what it appears) until I had time to properly sequence the events in light of the new information I had learned from reading the well-researched and documented writings of Quigley, Sutton and Perloff. So in lieu of my reasoned opinion based on the more recent and accurate context provided by the three gentlemen above, I offer up two interviews and discussions between Tim Kelly and James Perloff and Tim Kelly and Joe Atwill (below). To supplement this, consider reading the following relatively short books:
To round-out your understanding of World War II, it is highly desirable –once you have read the above—to read Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf‘ to get a complete view of the context. You will discover what you have been told by the American education system and the corporate media is a total and complete fabrication. The only way to defeat our masters is to defeat the mythology they have placed in our heads.
12/22/21: Update.. Since so many of the videos below have been deleted, I’m posting this recent interview here: Timothy Kelly podcast episode: “E. Michael Jones on the Holocaust Narrative“
EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Dr. E. Michael Jones returns to Our Interesting Time to discuss his article in this December’s Culture Wars “Dachau for Dummies: A Review of The Defeated.” We also talk about last month’s election in Virginia and how the oligarchs’ attempt to impose centralized technocratic control is revitalizing States’ Rights and undermining the legitimacy of the American Empire.
Published on Jun 3, 2017 James Perloff returns to Our Interesting Times with Tim Kelly to discuss his presentation on the Second World War. We talk about several myths of the “Good War” and why a revisionist interpretation of that event is long overdue and necessary to avoid another global conflagration.

Germar Rudolf joins the show to discuss his research regarding the Holocaust and share his experience as a revisionist researcher, writer and lecturer on that topic. We discuss what Holocaust revisionism is and what it is not and we talk about some of the evidence that indicates the official narrative of the Holocaust is a gross distortion of history. Later we talk about the migrant crisis in Europe and demographic winter that is enveloping the entire industrialized world. Germar Rudolf was born in Limburg, Germany. He studied chemistry at Bonn University, where he graduated in 1989. From 1990-1993 he prepared a German PhD thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in conjunction with the University of Stuttgart, Germany. During this time Rudolf prepared an expert report on chemical and technical questions of the alleged gas chambers of Auschwitz, The Rudolf Report. He is the founder of the small revisionist outlet, Castle Hill Publishers. He has published several books including Dissecting the Holocaust, Lectures on the Holocaust and Resistance is Obligatory.
