Shaky opinions, terrible decisions and 14,000 photos of cake + this day in history w/Lars vs. Napster and our song of the day by M. Ward on your Morning Monarchy for July 11, 2018.

Sean from Japan joins me to give his analysis of the recent bizarre news stories of stabbings, and how this may relate to larger geopolitical motives. We cover the history of Japan’s westernization and World War 2, shadow banking and hidden hoards of gold, the relationship of Japanese elites to Korea, the drug trade, black markets, Asian mafias and how these subjects relate to staged news.
