James Perloff is journalist who wrote for The New American magazine for nearly three decades. He’s the author of “The Shadows of Power,” an exposé of the Council on Foreign Relations, two books about the evidence against Darwin’s theory of evolution, “The Case Against Darwin” and “Tornado in a Junkyard,” and a comprehensive primer on the New World Order called “Truth Is a Lonely Warrior” and the supplementary “Thirteen Pieces of the Jigsaw.” More recently Perloff published “COVID-19 and the Agendas to Come, Red-Pilled” and the brand-new “Missing Saints, Missing Miracles.” You can read the essays referenced in our conversation and a wealth of other truth-seeking material at JamesPerloff.net and follow him on Twitter and Gab.
Perloff and I discuss consolidation of power, some of the Founders’ foundational errors, the South and “The Lost Cause,” the Yankee Empire, ecumenism, godless infiltration within all forms of Christianity, as well as the beauty of Orthodoxy, Church history, post-biblical miracles, Saints, and silver linings. Sure, “Satan’s a long-term planner,” but there’s nothing that screws up his evil schemes better than people choosing the narrow path.

SECRET HISTORY NOTE: I was remiss in mentioning to Perloff that there was a Founding-era Virginian who was not high-church Anglican but was Eastern Orthodox: Philip Ludwell III. Nearly 30 years before Russians began bringing the Faith to Alaska and a century prior to the start of Orthodox immigration to these United States, Colonel Ludwell was received into the Orthodox Church in 1738, making him the first known Orthodox convert in North America. He is the namesake of the Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship, of which I’m a co-founding member, and one of the many cultural connections we see as making the South fertile ground for planting and growing Orthodox Christianity – a spiritual heritage that is open to all nations and peoples, even here in the West.

Excellent guest and excellent show once again, madam. I enjoyed listening to Mr. Perloff’s take on the War of Northern Aggression, and kept thinking back throughout the interview to the theme of Bostonian, George Lunt’s, 1866 book on the subject titled Origins of the Late War.

TM,
Happy you liked the show. I hadn’t heard of the book you mentioned so I looked it up and here’s what the description said: “The author’s thesis is that the Radical Republicans were not, as many historians have stated, ‘radicalized by the Civil War,’ but rather that they were from the very start radical and in fact, they caused the war. This is a critically acclaimed history by George Lunt (1803-1885) an author, attorney, and political figure. He was born in Massachusetts and was a Whig turned Democrat who opposed strategies that would alienate the South.” Seems he and Jim Perloff indeed have a few things in common!
And while I’m thinking about it, I’d love to have YOU, dear sir, on my podcast sometime in the new year. Think about it. 🙂
Till then, I hope you and yours have a joyful Christmas!
