In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd dives deep into the controversial conversations sparked by historian Daryl Cooper, particularly around World War II, Churchill, and the Israel-Gaza conflict. Jacob opens with a gripping monologue inspired by Cooper’s Martyr Made series that humanizes the Palestinian perspective and challenges listeners to ask, “What would you do?” From there, he explores how myths about WWII and unquestioned narratives shape modern foreign policy and collective moral frameworks.

Through a critical examination of Allied decision-making, Churchill’s role, and missed opportunities to prevent genocide, Jacob makes the case that blind allegiance to national mythology distorts both our understanding of history and our response to present conflicts. Drawing parallels between 1930s Germany and modern disenfranchisement in the West, he highlights the importance of empathy, repentance, and Christlike love — even toward our enemies — as the true path to peace and justice.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob responds to the recent debate between Dave Smith and Douglas Murray on the Joe Rogan Experience, using it as a springboard to explore the deeper issues at play: narrative control, revisionist history, blowback, and the Christian response to war. Jacob unpacks why labeling alternative historical perspectives as "conspiracy theories" is often a power move to shut down dissent, not a defense of truth. Drawing from Scripture, he highlights examples where those in power—from David and Saul to the Sanhedrin and Herod—manipulated narratives to protect themselves. He then connects these biblical patterns to modern history, pointing to the USS Maine, the Iraq War, and the way states manufacture consent for war through deception.

Jacob also explores how blowback works—not only in America’s foreign policy but in Israel's handling of Gaza and Hamas. He breaks down the roots of Hamas’s rise to power, Israel’s role in preserving the group’s political dominance, and how these decisions contributed to the horrors of October 7th. Throughout the episode, he calls out the dangers of collectivism, especially in labeling all Palestinians as terrorists, and explains why biblical justice rejects collective guilt. From the weaponization of antisemitism to the idolization of "experts," this episode challenges listeners to seek the truth, love their enemies, and walk the narrow road of peace and prophetic witness in a time of tribalism and propaganda.

In this compelling episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd delves into Murray Rothbard's critical examination of the pervasive myth that "we are the government." By reading and reflecting on a poignant excerpt from Rothbard's Anatomy of the State, Jacob challenges the notion that democratic participation equates to moral complicity in government actions.

Jacob articulates that casting a vote does not grant ownership over governmental institutions like the IRS, the Pentagon, or law enforcement agencies. He emphasizes that moral truths remain constant regardless of majority opinion—highlighting that actions such as theft and murder do not become justifiable through democratic processes. Drawing from biblical principles, he underscores that rulers are meant to be ministers of justice, not deities appointed by popular vote, and reminds listeners that Christians are citizens of God's Kingdom, not merely subjects of earthly governments.
