  • Weaponizing Conspiracies Theories
    Aug 1 2025

    In this episode of New Frontiers, host Paul Johnson sits down with psychologist Dr. Emily Bashah, political columnist Bob Robb, and professor Henry Thompson to dissect the explosive impact of conspiracy theories in American politics and culture. This gripping discussion delves into the rise of QAnon, the Epstein file scandal, and how political figures from both the left and the right strategically fuel these narratives. Together, they explore the psychological traps, victimhood ideologies, and the social media-driven spread of misinformation that threatens the foundations of democracy.

    Topics Discussed in the Video

    - The Rise and Weaponization of Conspiracies: Paul Johnson lays the foundation for understanding how conspiracy theories, once dismissed as fringe, have been strategically weaponized in modern politics—particularly by Donald Trump. This includes the deliberate courting of QAnon believers and how politicians are capitalizing on growing distrust.

    - The Epstein Files Controversy: The panel analyzes how the Epstein scandal sparked a rare fracture within Trump’s MAGA coalition. Bob Robb and Henry Thompson reflect on the political implications of releasing raw investigative files and why even Trump can’t control this narrative anymore.

    - Three Psychological Profiles of Conspiracy Believers: Dr. Emily Bashah presents groundbreaking insights from her forensic psychology work, categorizing conspiracy theorists into three groups: those with agency, those with a victim mindset, and those suffering from psychological disorders. Her research shows how each group becomes susceptible to radical ideas.

    - Radicalization and Social Media: The conversation explores how digital platforms amplify extremist thought, drawing connections between Pizzagate, incel movements, and acts of violence. Dr. Bashah illustrates how isolation, echo chambers, and dopamine feedback loops can radicalize everyday people.

    - The Left Isn’t Immune: While much of the conversation focuses on right-wing extremism, Paul Johnson shifts the lens to conspiracy narratives embraced by the progressive left. Drawing on postmodern theory and anti-Zionist movements, the panel critiques how identity politics and academic ideology can also foster dangerous misinformation.

    - Antisemitism and Global Parallels: Henry Thompson traces the historical roots of antisemitism and its disturbing reemergence in both right-wing populism and left-wing activism. The panel discusses how global instability—from Gaza to Germany—is reviving old hatreds under new ideological disguises.

    - Solutions and Optimism: The discussion concludes with calls for critical thinking, greater political reform, and a re-engagement with optimistic leadership. Paul Johnson emphasizes the need to empower independent voters and dismantle structural partisanship to curb the influence of extremist ideologies.

  • Why Iran Hates Israel: Underlying the Causes of the War
    Jul 4 2025

    President Donald Trump’s decision to support Israel in bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities shocked the world. In this episode of New Frontiers, Paul Johnson and columnist Bob Robb break down the legal, political, and moral dimensions of the strike – and its implications for America’s role in the Middle East. With thoughtful, candid analysis, they challenge the narratives from both ends of the political spectrum.

    Topics Discussed in This Video:

    Trump’s Strike on Iran: Did President Trump have the legal authority to bomb Iran? Was it the right call? Paul supports the move for deterring nuclear escalation, while Bob worries it was rushed and politically misframed. They also debate Trump’s desire to “celebrate” the attack and how it shaped global perceptions.

    Why Iran Hates Israel – and Why That Matters: Paul and Bob explore the ideological roots of Iran’s hatred toward Israel, examining religious extremism, revolutionary doctrine, and the role of antisemitism in the Islamic regime’s worldview.

    The Right Wing’s Stance: “The Jews Are Running America”: Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon are amplifying dangerous narratives about Jewish influence in America. Paul and Bob confront these claims head-on, exposing their historical roots and how they echo antisemitic propaganda.

    The Left Wing’s Stance: “America and Israel Are the Bad Guys”: Reacting to leftist figures like Zohran Mamdani, the discussion shifts to how some progressives frame the conflict through post-colonial and anti-Western lenses – often justifying Hamas and Iran while vilifying the U.S. and Israel.

    The Solution to Peace in the Middle East: Can there be peace? Paul and Bob explore the potential of a two-state solution, the need for democratic reforms in Gaza, and the risks of placing ideology over governance. They also criticize Trump’s pick of Tulsi Gabbard as DNI and her missteps in handling intelligence.
