You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the political cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, going across the South and worldwide, as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are doing what we do here at TPC this last week of July, 2022.
Hottest July on record.
For us.
Hot is this show.
For us.
In the studio or outside the studio, what do you think?
Both.
It is the 29th Day of July as we broadcast live to you tonight.
Wonderful show so far.
We've been blitzing through the news and headlines that have been of interest to us this week, but also kind of work that American mainline journalists refuse to do.
Catching up with an old friend in Warren Baylog, but also a first-time guest, Carson Kilgray, and another one now here with us in the third hour.
CJ Miller is a writer and translator from Alberta, Canada.
He has been published by many of our causes most influential.
How cold does it get up there in Alberta?
It's probably not that cold right now, I can tell you that.
But he has been published by some of our most influential and mainstay publications, including Antelope Hill.
We'll talk more about some of his translations for Antelope Hill over the course of the hour, The Occidental Observer, Kevin McDonald's website and easing, as well as countercurrents.com and elsewhere, Greg Johnson at Countercurrents.
All friends of ours, CJ, how are things in the great white north tonight?
Well, things are looking up.
It's a nice sunny day.
And to answer the previous question, it gets down to reliably gets down to minus 40 every year, which, of course, we use Celsius, but that actually happens to be roughly the same as minus 40 Fahrenheit, if you can imagine that.
You know, my father, I was born in Minnesota.
My father.
You keep saying that.
I don't want people to get the wrong idea about you.
You're a southerner.
You just happened to be deposited while your dad was on assignment.
Well, my father was looking for a job after World War II.
He's in Patton's Army, and he had some Army buddies from Minnesota that got him into an electrician.
You're dating your Shifa to make mention of the fact.
Well, look, everybody knows I'm an old gobbler.
But anyway, he said that one day after stringing telephone wire in 30-mile-an-hour winds at 30 below zero, he decided it was time to look for a warmer climate.
So he went back to Memphis.
Well, he found it because it's been hotter than hell and humid, and it's been miserable.
We can't complain enough about what's the temperature up there now.
Keith is really interested in that question.
You got to answer it, CJ.
Right now, I think it's probably about 25, so in Fahrenheit, that might be like high 70s, perfect temperature.
Oh, my God.
Oh, that's a fall day.
I tell you what.
I remember going up to the Gas Bay Peninsula for a August vacation one time, you know, going to Pearse and places like that.
I thought it was paradise up there at that time.
Yeah, you know, I think I prefer the cold to the heat because in the cold, you can always put on another layer or start a fire, whatever you need to do.
On the other hand, as a southerner, I think that heat is uncomfortable, but cold is life-threatening.
No, I don't agree with that.
I agree with CJ.
I have always said that you can always layer up enough to withstand the cold.
You cannot take enough off to try that at 40 below zero.
You cannot take enough off to mitigate the heat.
We are Northern European people.
This is our climate is that Arctic climate.
It is not this sub-Saharan African.
I think you last one winter up there.
I guarantee you, I could get warm enough.
I could build fires.
I could layer up.
What I can't stand are these merciless, merciless southern.
Now, we've been in the south now for hundreds, you know, a couple of hundred years, minimum, three, four hundred years if you came over with the founding stock.
But we were in Europe a lot longer than that.
This is not our native climate.
CJ's a little closer to our native climate than we are.
But hey, CJ, I got to say this.
Normally, when we want news from Canada, we call up Paul Fromm, maybe Remy Tremblay, and we see what's going on up there.
But I actually have in my hand now a handwritten letter from a listener in British Columbia.
So if you don't mind, and if you can weigh in on this, I know you're from Alberta, so my eyes got a little widened when I saw that because I'd been meaning to talk about this with a Canadian.
And we were going to book Paul just for this, but we'll ask you.
A listener from British Columbia wrote in and said this, and then we'll get into your work and some more about you and your background.
But he writes, Recently, a conservative premier was elected in Alberta by a majority.
I don't know if you have heard of Danielle Smith, but you can always ask Paul Fromm.
Well, we're not going to ask Paul Fromm.
We're going to ask you tonight, CJ Miller.
Anything to be said about the new premier in Alberta?
We're hearing good things.
Is it much to do about nothing, or is it the real deal?
Well, she's okay, I would say.
It's sort of a mixed bag, like it always is with elected officials.
I mean, if you count on party politics to solve all your problems, you're always going to be disappointed.
But she kind of is a bit of an Alberta sovereigntist, not a separatist.
Alberta is not going to send it.
See, Alberta's answer to Georgia Maloney, or what is the deal?
Maybe, well, she's a provincial leader, and they don't set the immigration quotas that's done at the federal level.
So, I mean, the only thing I really know about Georgia Maloney is sort of her immigration rhetoric.
There's not really any of that from Danielle Smith.
That's on things like gun rights, on taxation for middle-class families, and on actually basically giving Alberta officials license and sovereignty to enforce their own set of rules and keep federal law enforcement away to some extent.
She's been pretty good on that stuff.
So, like, I mean, I don't personally hold out too much hope for our governments to be able to help us a whole lot.
So, that government is on.
Alberta sounds like they're like Greta Garbo.
They just want to be left alone.
No, I agree with what CJ is saying.
But as far as it goes, as far as currently sitting elected officials go, I guess you could do worse than Danielle Smith.
And I want to give a big shout out.
You see it right?
Well, actually, you see it right here.
Front and back page, handwritten note from our friend and supporter, Ed in British Columbia.
Ed listens to every show live in part.
And then if he's out for social engagement, he listens to the rest of it on Sunday morning in his study.
And he writes what CJ was just saying: that Danielle Smith is pro-energy, pro-gun, has warned Justin Trudeau to back off.
She has promised that Alberta cities would not end up like Vancouver, Portland, and San Francisco, and so on and so forth.
So, you know, I guess better than the alternative, right?
As far as it goes in the West.
It's as good as it gets in Canada.
Well, as good as it goes across the West right now.
Yeah, and there's a similar guy in the province next door, Scott Moe, in Saskatchewan, who's kind of in the same vein.
All right.
So, I mean, that's, I guess, something.
It sounds like Western Canada is kind of like the southern United States.
It's a repository for common sense.
Maybe.
Anotherwise crazy nation.
Is it better than Quebec and some of the Toronto area?
Yeah, some of the places over on the east.
Is it like that?
It depends on your perspective.
Definitely the cost of living is quite a bit lower in Alberta, although that is changing as immigration fuels demand for housing, as well as people from other provinces moving to Alberta for the plentiful jobs and the low cost of living.
So that also drives demand in a hot housing market and pushes the president.
Big petroleum industry there in Alberta.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I work on the regular for a bit too.
So yeah, that's what brings a lot of people here ultimately is the money from the oil patch and from adjacent industries.
Well, we like it every time.
We like Alberta.
Our most frequent and most generous international donor is actually from Alberta.
You know who you are.
And to Ed, who's sending this letter, we keep the show going just to receive Ed's letters.
Stay tuned, everybody.
Cause A Free South is a collection of 12 essays written by Southern Nationalist authors.
The book explores topics such as what is the Southern nation?
What is Southern nationalism?
And how can we achieve a free and independent dictionary?
The Honorable Cause answers questions on our own terms.
The book invites readers to understand for themselves why a free and independent diction is both preferable and possible.
The book pulls in some of the biggest producers of pro-South content, including James Edwards, the host and creator of The Political Cesspool, and Wilson Smith, author of Charlottesville Untold, Arkansas congressional candidate and activist Neil Kumar,
host and creator of the dissident mama podcast, Rebecca Dillingham, author of A Walk in the Park, My Charlottesville Story, Identity Dictions, Patrick Martin, and yours truly, Michael Hill, founder and president of the League of the South, as well as several other authors.
The Honorable Cause is available now at Amazon.com.
In message one, we said that Satan, the father of lies, John 8, 44, gave the left evil spiritual power the more they use the lies.
The political left today is the beast.
Now, the Bible confirms that the dragon gave him the beast his power.
Revelation 13, 2.
The extra evil spiritual power that comes from the beast by their lying is what accounts for the stream of the leftist criminals in the government that have never yet been prosecuted.
It also explains why American capitalists support communism in the 21st century.
Note 1.
That behavior of capitalists was predicted by Vladimir Lenin, a sell of the beast.
Note two, Henry Ford was a capitalist, and he would have never gone communist.
The difference between Ford and the present day end-time capitalists is that Ford was born and educated in the kingdom of Christ, 19th century America, the New Jerusalem, Revelation 21.
All right, we chased a rabbit there in the first segment with C.J. Miller, but thankfully we have the rest of the hour to go.
Not that that was wasted, but that's not what he was brought on to talk about tonight.
But I did want to ask that question about Alberta, and he answered it.
So again, with us right now, C.J. Miller, a writer and translator from Canada, been published by some of our movement's most prominent and influential publications, Analo Pill, The Occidental Observer, Countercurrents, among others.
CJ, give us a little more information about your background.
How did you first come into this cause?
What was your Animating incident or aha moment.
The gateway or whatever?
And how did it lead from there to here?
I think there probably isn't one particular moment looking back there's an accumulation of things that kind of made me question a lot of the assumptions of liberalism.
Like I can think of dozens of instances where I guess little seeds were planted.
But I'd say by 2013, definitely, I considered myself pro-white and anti-liberal in some capacity.
So about 10 years ago, I suppose.
And then, yeah, as far as writing goes and wanting to get involved, it almost happened by accident because some people, like an amateur group of guys, I guess one of them had found a copy of his grandfather's Demoft Fitness Manual, and they were trying to do a translation of it, which later ended up being published by Antelope Hill.
And they didn't really speak German, most of them.
So they were kind of doing it amateurs.
It was dragging along taking forever.
And I looked at the project and thought it's worth preserving just for historical reasons.
So I kind of came in and helped them get it all finished, get it all put together.
And then some other guys with contacts in the ledger and publishing industry basically put it out as a book.
And then after that, they contacted me for several other translations.
So that was kind of my foot in the door.
Well, bravo to you.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, that is impressive to me on a way that most people are unable to do because as Americans, we typically speak one and the only language, and that's English.
And I spent a very minimal amount of time in German.
Trouble enough of that.
That's right.
Exactly.
I actually have a German friend who I always say she speaks better German, better English than I do.
But you go to Europe, you go to Germany, they're all bilingual, and it's an incredible thing.
And it's fascinating.
You come to New York and they're all bisection.
You go to Europe and hear all of the different languages that individuals can speak.
So obviously, CJ, in order to translate a text from German to English, you have to be able to speak German.
You're Canadian.
How did that happen?
I started learning in high school in grade 10.
The course just happened to be offered, and I kind of had discovered a passion for language and especially the written words in junior high school.
It's what we call middle school up here.
So I discovered a passion by learning French.
And so I signed up for the German class.
And teacher there was extremely passionate.
He was Mr. Gung-Ho.
So he kind of sparked an interest in learning the language.
So I learned that all the way through high school, a couple of years in university.
I did a summer semester over in Munich.
And my wife and I recently had our honeymoon over in Europe as well with some significant time in Germany.
Did you go to Germany?
Yeah, we spent a lot of time there.
Let's see, I mean, it's one thing to be able to speak the language or to even become fluent in it, but to become so fluent that as a non-native speaker, you're able to translate from one language to the other to be for published texts from a sure enough publishing company like Antelope Hill.
That, I mean, that's a next level type of operation that you're running there, CJ.
Yeah, well, I studied translation bits in university before I ended up having to drop out.
But my major was in, what was it?
I think my major was in translation studies and my minor was, oh, no, sorry, my major was linguistics.
My minor was translation studies, and I was getting all these courses in German as well.
So that helped with that.
And then also, you just have to be able to kind of think on your feet as a translator and do your best to render things in a way that they don't sound like they were obviously translated.
You just want people to be able to read us and understand it easily for it to sound kind of smooth.
Sounds like you had a good education, CJ.
And I remember, I'm a little long in the tooth, longer than either of you guys, but I remember when public school teachers did not go to colleges of education.
If you had a Spanish or a German teacher, that's somebody that had majored in that in college, and they brought this passion, like you're describing, for their subject, which they were able to impart to their students.
I think at least down here, so often now you get these people from colleges of education, and they're like the bottom of the barrel intellectually in colleges.
And that's not the way it was.
And apparently, that's not the way it was in your schooling.
And I think you need to realize how lucky you are to have had that experience.
That's for sure.
And on the subject of good teachers, I did AP European history in high school.
And the teacher there also kind of inspired a passion for history.
And I'd say that course, the European history, was kind of a turning point in my political awakening.
Now, the teacher himself was obviously not, you know, a white nationalist.
He was probably a liberal of the old school guy in his 60s with a master's degree.
But he was just so knowledgeable and so passionate about the subject matter that he kind of awakened, he kind of lit that fire within me.
And I would end up going to the library and checking out other textbooks, like history textbooks, and diving into the subject matter.
So I was kind of looking into the founding of the United States, the founding of Canada, the Spanish Civil War, every different subject you can imagine.
So yeah, good teachers, the importance of good teachers can't be overstated.
And I'm fortunate to have had some.
You took to education like a duck to water, obviously, and it's paid off for you.
Yeah, I suppose so.
And here he is now.
So let's talk then.
There's so much I want to talk to you about now that we've gotten a little bit more about your background and your education and what led you from the origins to here and these translations, which I just, again, I can't overemphasize how fascinated I am by someone who can learn a non-native tongue to the extent where they can offer these translations to be published by an outfit like Antelope Hill.
Antelope HillPublishing.com, a lot of friends of ours there, and we have made them featured parts of our programming over the course of this year.
At least once a month, we have been featuring Antelope Hill contributors and authors and writers and with CJ, both an author and a translator.
But there is a wide variety of topics and conversations and books purchased there at Antelope HillPublishing.com.
I've told the story before with Taylor Young and some of the other contributors to Antelope Hill who have been on.
I have a copy of Thrilling Adventures Among the Early Settlers that I read with my son.
It's just a collection of stories from the pioneer and these frontier days that are so good for young boys to hear and know about.
You've got other books that are geared for younger readers.
What kind of man will I be?
Also, very serious topics like Trey Garrison, who we were mentioning in the last hour with Warren Baylog, his book, Opioids for the Masses, how the opioid epidemic has so afflicted our people, particularly poor white people in the Appalachia and other regions of this country, rural areas.
Raw egg nationalism, there's stuff there for people, content there, books for purchase.
You want to live and lead a healthier lifestyle.
Obviously, a lot of content that Anthelope Hill has published, and we'll be talking with CJ throughout the rest of this hour, of historical nature.
World War II era, there's no shortage of content there.
Faith and Heritage, now that is an organization that I know well.
They're Christian Ezine.
You have the Faith and Heritage, a Christian nationalist anthology.
I'd written a couple of pieces for Faith and Heritage.
It's now defunct, but or no longer in operation, but you can still get the catalog.
Antelope Hill has a selection from them.
Spain, 1923 to 1948, Civil War and World War.
Social Nitsin and the Right by Spencer J. Quinn, who wrote a wonderful review for the Honorable Cause, the book that we have out this year for countercurrents.
Oh, look, that's just a handful of selections that are available for purchase at antelopehillpublishing.com.
But CJ, you have, listen, we're coming up on a break, so we don't have much time to tease this, but we'll talk about some of the translations that you have contributed to and provided there for Antelope Pill Publishing, including the Wehrmacht Fitness Manual.
Now, this is provocative, but I am interested to learn more.
It is the only existing English translation of the 1938 fitness manual for the German Army containing 133 images from the original.
How did you sink your teeth into that?
How did you find that?
How did you do that?
Well, hold on.
Before you answer, before you answer, there's the music.
We'll let people wonder for themselves how that happened, and we'll get the answer when we come back.
Because I say this, we need to be fit spiritually, mentally, and physically.
And we'll talk about the latter with our guest this hour, C.J. Miller, the Canadian writer and translator, when we come back.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio, USA News.

Phoenix is finally getting a break.
We're finally going to break that 110-degree streak, hopefully Monday, with a high of 109, chance of storms again.
Meteorologist Paul Horton of Arizona's Family News says showers and storms are arriving on Sunday.
Phoenix has been 110 degrees or hotter for more than four straight weeks.
I'm Jeremy Scott.
Cleanup efforts are underway after severe storms hit upper Midwest on Friday night.

U.S. lawmakers left town Thursday after the House passed only one of a dozen appropriations bills, and none have cleared the Senate.
So to avoid a government shutdown, House and Senate leaders will have to resolve some major differences still.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said at a news conference, the House and Senate are worlds apart when it comes to the appropriations process.
While Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he doesn't want to see a government shutdown, saying his focus will be on finding common ground.

We're back now with C.J. Miller of AntelopeHillPublishing.com.
I was taking probably too much time in the last segment right before the break, giving you a little bit of a variety of the content that you can purchase there at antelopehillpublishing.com.
But it was interesting.
There was a movie that came out in the 90s called The Great White Hype, and it's a satire on professional boxing.
And in the movie, you have a black heavyweight champion played by, I believe, Damon Wyans.
And the promoters of the boxing match in the movie want a white challenger.
And they find this bum who hasn't boxed in years and years and years, but they promote him and they get him all the way up to the heavyweight championship match.
And his trainer in the movie is John Rhys Davis, who you'll remember from movies like Indiana Jones.
He played Sala in the Indiana Jones movies.
He played Gimbli in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
And as he's training this white boxer, he says, the guys, I'm not going to be able to fight.
I haven't fought in forever.
He says, eight weeks with me and you'll be ready for a commission in the Waffen-SS.
So this is this satire comedy, but everybody knows that the fighting forces of Germany in the middle of the last century were really second to none.
And as Socrates said, no citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.
What a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.
As I said, even in comedies in the 90s, people could recognize the fighting prowess of the German armed forces from 1921 to 1945.
And you wrote a translation of the fitness manual for the German army.
CJ, how did that happen?
Yeah, no, I can't take full credit for that.
That's the project I was mentioning before.
Some guy found, I guess, his grandpa father's copy in the attic and wanted to preserve it for historical reasons.
So I kind of helped along with that.
I probably translated maybe.
Actually, I see that I'm not even credited on here because I wasn't writing under my real name at the time.
But I probably translated maybe 40% of that.
And it was a collaborative effort between several other translators, including myself.
But that's something.
So what are the content?
I mean, 40%.
I mean, take credit.
However, you're credited into the book.
We'll give you the credit now.
You're the one who did it.
40%.
I remember back in the 60s, I had this thing about the Canadian Air Force physical education thing.
This probably goes well beyond that.
I'm really curious.
Yeah, I mean, tell us a little bit about the contents.
I mean, what was sort of the physical regimen for somebody that was going to be in the army in Germany in the middle or early parts of the 20th century?
So this is purely the physical training, not as much military training.
There's an emphasis on team sports, as well as, of course, boxing and wrestling.
And then there's all sorts of gymnastics exercises and stuff.
Like this is, it's good stuff.
I mean, if you do this kind of routine, like you'll get in shape just like any other routine, pretty much.
But it's mostly interesting for historical reasons, I guess.
And I don't, I'm not an expert on physical training myself, but I've been told by my kinesiologist friend of mine that the stuff they were doing was way ahead of its time in terms of physical fitness training.
So I guess there's that takeaway from it as well.
Well, if you want to train and be fit as the way someone entering into the German army in the early to mid-20th century might have trained, you can get the Warmock Fitness Manual translated by, in large part, by C.J. Miller at antelopehillpublishing.com.
I think that's fascinating.
I think it is very important that our people be fit.
Our people, as I said, mentally, physically, spiritually, be fit and be ready for whatever may come.
But that is hardly your only translation.
Let's talk about ancestral inheritance, also available through Antelope Hill.
What is that about?
That one is basically the sort of spiritual and cultural heritage and history and prehistory of the Germanic peoples.
It's written from sort of a folkish perspective and kind of on the, I guess it has some kind of like esoteric Aryanist or pagan elements to it, which is also interesting.
It's like a snapshot of the kind of state of the scholarship in a certain time and place.
And that too is available tonight at antelopehillpublishing.com.
And you didn't stop there.
Now, this is, we're going to briefly mention a subject, a book that hardly needs an introduction, but you actually translated the words.
And here at TPC, we are all for you not taking the establishment's word on anything.
If they lie about everything you know, perhaps they are lying about things that you're not so well known that you're not so informed about as well.
You actually translated many of the speeches by a certain political figure who was formerly a painter in Austria.
You translated a lot of his speeches that have been put into a book with faithful translations.
People can read that and make their own conclusions, but you translated it word for word without any sort of notations or explanations or anything like that.
We have a Bible.
You can buy Bibles now that will explain away the Bible itself.
But you didn't do any of that.
You just faithfully translated the words from German to English, correct?
Well, I did do quite a bit of historical research.
So preceding every speech, there's a background section talking about the historical circumstances, what was going on in Europe, in Germany, in the party at the time around the speech.
So kind of to give context.
And then within the speech, there are Citations just kind of to explain and give context to things that might be hard to understand or help the reader understand context.
But the book is definitely a scholarly, neutral historical work.
It's not pro-NS nor anti-NS.
I wouldn't consider myself a National Socialist personally.
It's more of a historical look, an objective historical look at a subject that is worth studying and worth being educated about, not necessarily to emulate or to praise or to decry or disavow, but just to basically learn the lessons from a certain historical figure in a certain historical period.
No, I think that's a wonderful and in fact a profound explanation right there.
People should have the might and the worthiness to go in and read something for themselves and draw their own conclusions.
You've given the opportunity, you've given them the opportunity to do that, as I was saying, that you can find the books that will actually explain away exactly what the text is saying in the exact opposite way it's intended.
And you did not do that.
That's what I was driving at a moment ago, Keith.
I wanted to know, when you read it, did you get any sense of this special charisma that apparently this Austrian painter had?
Let's not be like it's Voldemort in the Harry Potter.
I mean, obviously we're talking about Adolf Hitler.
And Warren Bailock, by the way, did the audio, if I'm not mistaken.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong.
I believe Warren Bailock, who was with us coincidentally, and it was just by sheer coincidence that you both be booked on the same night.
I believe he did an audio book version of this book.
But in any event, I mean, you're talking about one of the most profound political figures in all of recorded history.
Time magazine's Man of the Year in 1938.
Exactly.
I mean, one of the most profound and impactful political figures, whichever way you view him, it's undoubtable.
Undoubtedly, he was that.
But you have translated faithfully these words to the best of your ability, correct?
What did you think about it?
Was he charismatic?
Does that come through in his writings?
Was that just something with his speeches that you had to be there to listen to?
I think definitely he was charismatic.
Although the charisma, it's not the same as a political speech that would be delivered, for example, in the United States today.
Like if you just repeated his or kind of copied his style and repeated his speeches verbatim, I don't think it would be particularly appealing to 21st century white Americans.
But for the sort of like quasi-autistic German mind of the time, it is appealing.
And the way he spoke was extremely popular.
So you can't really deny his charisma within his own historical context.
And the name of this book is In His Own Words.
And this is not only a collection, but a new and approved translation of some of the most important speeches, but also includes original research to provide historical context and information about the speeches themselves.
So that's what you did.
And I was being a little bit, I guess, facetious.
You did it in a way that is faithful to the original content and context, as opposed to a lot that you'll read today that sort of offers the exact opposite of what you're reading.
Not as a proponent or an opponent, but just as an unbiased third party.
Well, that's what you want out of a translator, I think.
And again, we give people more credit than the establishment does in so much as saying that we believe you can read things and draw your own conclusions and find your own truth.
But it is fascinating that through Antelope Hill Publishing and through your work, CJ, that you could bring back to life forgotten texts and translations in a just the facts type of presentation that would not be available anywhere else.
Am I right about that?
Yeah, there's other collections out there, but this one would kind of really focus on lesser known speeches and kind of like a broad overview of what the ideas that he was advocating actually were.
So it's like you go to Barnes and Noble.

This is a battle.
A battle between truth and deceit.
A battle between forces that would enslave this country in darkness and between a media that wants to present you with the truth.
We are being censored.
America's news outlets no longer provide the truth.
90% of news outlets in the United States are controlled by six corporations.

All right, I got cut off by the break right at the end of the last segment before I could finish cultivating my thought.
What I was saying was you can go to any Barnes and Noble store tonight, any mainstream establishment bookstore, and you can buy a copy of Mind Comp.
And it's going to have, as the preface, untold pages of how evil this person was.
I don't need you to tell me that.
I don't need you because what I know is this.
What I know for a fact is this.
You have lied about my southern ancestors.
You have lied about George Floyd.
You have lied about everything.
I don't need anybody to tell me anything.
I'll read for myself the facts and I'll make my own decision.
And I believe that our audience is mature enough and intelligent enough to do that.
And I'm thankful for people like C.J. Miller who give us faithful translations of text, even by figures who have been so.
Yeah, absolutely.
So we'll figure it out for ourselves.
Thank you very much.
And so if Barnes ⁇ Noble can sell this, then Antelope Hill can sell it as well.
See, one of our groups that we support here and have on the show are the Barnes Review, a great revision history magazine.
I don't know if you're familiar with them, CJ.
But no, they're great, and American Free Press, and we're working in active cooperation with them.
So I love all of that stuff.
And yes, I understand.
If you lie about everything, you probably didn't tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about World War II.
I don't know why that would be the exception to everything else you've lied about.
You're going to tell the truth about that.
Anyway, give us the truthful translations.
And CJ has done that.
But that is not all he has done.
He has also been published by other groups like Countercurrents and The Occidental Observer, Greg Johnson and Kevin McDonald, respectively.
But you wrote an essay.
I'm a movie buff.
I'm a movie aficionado.
I love going to the movies.
I especially did it in my coming of age years in the 80s and 90s.
And I get there as much as I can now as the husband and a father of three, but I watch a lot of movies, or at least have them playing in the background in my office while I'm working.
But I do like movies.
And one of the most interesting movies that have come out that has come out in recent years is The Northman.
And you wrote an essay on The Northman for Countercurrents.
First of all, tell us, I mean, I'm going to ask you, obviously, what your findings were and what the article was about for Countercurrents, but explain to the audience what the Northman was all about as a film.
So The Northman is Robert Egger's Viking film.
I guess I could explain it as like a pagan psychedelic Viking reinterpretation of Macbeth.
So that's a wonderful thing.
Not the other way.
Hamlet.
I've never heard it put that way.
That is a wonderful way to describe it.
But continue on, please.
Yeah, so Hamlet itself was actually Shakespeare's Hamlet, that is, was actually inspired by Saxo Grammaticus Amleth.
Saxogrammaticus was Christian, I believe, monk or prior, something like that.
And then Shakespeare's Hamlet, I guess, needs no introduction.
So that's a reinterpretation of Amleth.
And the Northman kind of has a lot of those same themes, same characters, same basic story arc.
Just moves to a sort of like Scandinavian 10th century Viking setting.
I went to see that with my father and my brother.
And it was a cinematic experiment.
I mean, it was a masterpiece in many ways.
I mean, it was a profound film.
And you can find the movie review or the essay on the Northman at countercurrents.com.
I believe you published that CJ back in December of last year, of 2022.
But also an interesting article for Kevin McDonald's e-zine, The Occidental Observer, an essay on the different personality archetypes on the dissident right and how they correspond with opposing political tendencies.
Break that down for us.
What was your findings?
What were your findings there?
So that was it came after kind of observing a lot of the discussion among the dissident sphere.
And a lot of the kind of questions and issues that sort of became wedge issues and splitting points for different factions and personalities to find some reason to disagree and attack each other on.
And I noticed that a lot of the it could kind of be broken down into basically two tendencies, which I called, for the sake of brevity, the conservative and progressive personality archetypes.
And really, it's not political conservatism or progressivism I'm talking about.
It's more like a cluster of personality traits.
So the essay is kind of, first of all, introducing the archetypes, kind of reflecting on the characteristics that define them.
And then I wanted to basically show how basically different personality types will gravitate towards certain positions, certain political leanings.
And then that can be caused for friction with the opposing archetypes.
So I kind of wanted to not elevate one above the other.
That was the last thing I intended, but basically show helping the different sides sort of understand each other maybe a bit better and show how we don't all necessarily have to cooperate or collaborate on every issue.
But if we're broadly moving towards the same goal, even if we disagree on particulars, we're broadly moving towards kind of the same value set more or less.
So basically how people can understand each other, stay in their own lane, collaborate when it makes sense, or basically stay out of each other's way and quit with a bit of the backbiting that's sort of inherent to dissonant movements when it doesn't make sense to collaborate.
CJ, this is Keith.
Did you get any idea about from the North movie or whatnot about Norse culture generally and what it was like?
Or was this just archetypes, kind of like a NAL saga or something like that that uses standard stereotypes of the time?
Did you get any insights into Norse culture and particularly?
I have kind of a pre-existing interest in Germanic spirituality, paganism.
I consider myself an Odinist.
So it's the most pagan movie I've ever seen.
And the essay on The Northman is about pagan morality and moral ambiguity in the film.
So yeah, it is, I think, I don't want to say necessarily historically accurate, but it's extremely respectful of the subject matter to an extent that you just don't see really come out of Hollywood anymore.
Or maybe it never even really did, but it's just the level of research, the detail, and the respect to the historical subject matter is just unparalleled.
And that's what makes the movie a masterpiece.
Have you ever seen the movie The Vikings with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis?
Can't say I'm familiar.
Yeah, I was just wondering about a comparison on that because it sounds like.
If you haven't seen it, you can watch it on VHS at Keith's house.
No problem.
But I mean, The Northman wasn't just provocative.
I mean, to get back to that, and I don't want to spend too much time on that.
But it was provocative, not so much, well, I mean, certainly, especially because of its content, but the cinematography as well.
I mean, it was just wonderfully shot.
It was wonderfully directed.
I mean, the pictures are so stark.
I mean, the settings, everything about it was just where they filmed it.
I mean, I didn't dive into it that deeply, but it certainly looked authentic.
It was filmed in the North Atlantic.
It wasn't filmed in Scandinavia, but in the North Atlantic.
So yeah, it's kind of filmed on location.
The film is so, it's so good because, I mean, the one thing that jumped out to a lot of people about it was, of course, the all-white European casting.
But the film itself is so interesting that that's pretty much the least interesting aspect of it.
Yeah, that's right.
I mean, you don't see that a lot.
Certainly out of modern day movies.
This is something that's not no Beyonce or Kim Kardashian in this show.
Yeah, they didn't have Glax playing the Viking kings and all of that, as you would expect now from a modern Hollywood.
And it wasn't just like a throwaway movie that was obscure and like a cult-like following.
I mean, this was something that got serious award consideration.
So in any event, C.J. Miller wrote about it, and you can find it.
But CJ, we are beginning to run out of time.
I would remind everybody again to check out the catalog at antelopehillpublishing.com.
You hear their ads every show.
Once a month, we try to have one of the contributing authors, or in this case, author slash translator for some of their titles.
And for the last hour, you have heard from C.J. Miller up in Canada, who has done great work translating text from German into English and for publication at Antelope Hill Publishing.
So final word to you, CJ.
What is it?
Final word, I guess.
Have a good weekend.
We'll certainly do that.
Can we do that?
Do you have any new projects?
Yeah, that's a good question.
That's a good place to leave it.
What's next for C.J. Miller?
Next is going to be, there's a couple old unfinished manuscripts, well, finished, but not published yet, manuscripts that I'm working on getting published.
One of them, the treatment, kind of a departure from my previous work, not political really in any way.
It's more of like a young adult's romance.
And then another prairie noir set right here at home in Alberta detailing a blood feud, a decades-long blood feud between two rural Alberta families, one rich, one poor.
So that's going to be a little bit the Canadian Hatfields and McCoy's, or is it something like that?
So this is, yeah, it's a work of imagination.
It's not based on anything historical, but it'll have everything from, you know, like prison gangs to ATV chases to Hutterites to love affairs to crooked preachers and, you know, all sorts of things.
So it's going to be a really good kind of like gothic noir action novel.
Not really political either.
Well, we hope that we'll find that published by Antelope Hill as well.
And I'm already getting dizzy, folks, looking ahead to the calendar in August.
We'll have our Charlottesville six-year retrospective for people who were on the ground.
I'm talking about not just people in the crowd, but people who organized it, people who were there.
They reflect on the legacy of Charlottesville next week.
And then the week after that will be a live remote broadcast for the next day.
I've got a question I'd like to ask him.
And we'll go on the road to Alabama.
Keith, you got 10 seconds.
Go.
Okay.
What do you think about Ben Johnson, the mad trapper?
You know, that they had that death hunt movie about.
That was set up in your neck of the woods.
All right.
It was filmed in Alberta, eh?
Was it?
Well, it was about the guy that, you know, they had Albert Johnson.
And he's out of time.
I can't give it to you, Keith.
I can't give you more time to do it.
This is the reason that they say the Canadian Mountains always get their man.
For Warren, Baylog, Carson, Hill Gray, C.J. Miller, for Keith Alexander, our entire staff and crew here at TPC.
I'm James Edwards.
CJ, thank you so much.
Antelope HillPublishing.com.
Check them out.
Buy a book.
They got something for everybody there.
We'll talk to you next week during TPC's awesome August.
