Dissident Mama, episode 52 – Jim Jatras

Jim Jatras is a retired Washington, DC-based attorney, political analyst, and media and government affairs specialist. He formerly served as a senior foreign policy adviser to the US Senate Republican leadership, and before that served as a diplomat in Mexico, the Office of Soviet Union affairs, and the Office of the Under Secretary for Political Affairs. Jatras is also an Orthodox Christian and an outspoken political and cultural critic.

A self-proclaimed “unReconstructed Byzantine,” Jatras and I discuss the covid “winds of delusion,” jab exemptions, referring to “the American Republic in the past tense,” the media-industrial complex, the American “ethnos,” the South as globohomo’s whipping boy, Transatlanticism, Kievan Rus history, the Orthodox Church and geopolitics, and more. I’m telling ya, folks, it’s a stupendous interview, just brimming with both big-picture takeaways and fascinating particulars.

*Update: YouTube emailed me on January 27, claiming that my interview with Jatras violates the “medical misinformation policy” of their “Community Guidelines.” Not only did they censor this video (just like they did with my Betsy Ball Clark interview), but they also gave me “1 strike,” prohibiting me from uploading any new content for one week. Yep, the neo-Bolsheviks pretend to be my and your parents by treating us like low-IQ children and then putting me in timeout. All the more reason to simply listen to the podcast or watch the video on the free-speech-friendly Odysee. It’s only a matter of time before the tyrants remove all of Jatras’s and my content, just like they want to remove us all from the public square and even from existence.
