Help support us and get ad-free exclusive content by subscribing to our substack at https://www.rfemedia.com/ or our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/ColonialOutcasts. The US has been heavily involved in Oceania since the 2nd World War. Now that US bases in West Asia have been destroyed in the Iran war, is it finally time for the Pacific Pivot?With US munitions drained by yet another West Asia war and its Gulf bases battered, Washington's long-promised "Pivot to Asia" is back on the table. This week on Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast your hawkish uncle will hate, we head to Aotearoa/New Zealand with Dr. Nathan Rew of The University of Waikato, and Bianca Ranson of Kaiawhina Tamaki. New Zealand is a microcosm of how the US empire manages its rivals and its vassal states alike. We cover: 🔻 The Pacific Pivot: how Obama's 2011 "Rebalance to Asia" became permanent US doctrine, and what it means for governance, daily life, and land sovereignty in New Zealand 🔻 Five Eyes: what the intelligence alliance is, how it expands US reach in the region, whether it provokes China, and what Kash Patel is after 🔻 The Pacific Islands Forum: can small island states shape the Indo-Pacific order, or are they being turned into pawns over climate finance, rare earth minerals, and maritime control? Is the Forum compromised, and why is Israel a partner? 🔻 China vs. the US: who is the real threat in great-power competition? 🔻 Resistance: the nuclear-free Pacific, Indigenous land rights, and the Māori protest movement 🔻 Election season: New Zealand's hard-right government and its problematic oppositionYou can Follow Bianca and org here: https://www.instagram.com/kaiawhina_tamaki?vrfl=MXZpOWdhbTRoaGJqdQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

We need to be looking to November-January where the most dangerous political developments are going to happen. Independent journalist and Green Party congressional candidate Sam Husseini joins Greg and Mark to talk about third parties, ethics in journalism, and what representatives could do if they weren’t afraid to oppose empire. Plus: why the lame-duck session matters, and what Section 219 of the NDAA means for U.S.–Israel military entanglement. We really need to be looking forward to the insanity that will be going down from November 4th to January 8th as the Trump Administration, likely on the back foot, will have its last chance to push through whatever it can, Justices, Laws, withdraw the filibuster, conduct military actions against Cuba, who knows? We don’t know, but we DO KNOW that whatever imperial actions the trump administration takes, the democrats will not resist.

212. The National Security State is BLASTING Your Mental Health - Resist! w/ Burqas and Beer Podcast

1 hr 4 min

For exclusive ad-free content follow our Substack at https://www.rfemedia.com/ or our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/ColonialOutcasts What is “wellness” anyways after three years of genocide, the ever expanding security state, and mounting fascism with no material pushback from the “opposition party?” As midterms mania deprives us of our sanity, reactionaries are already apologizing for democratic politicians who are starting to walk back their anti-establishment rhetoric before they are even in office. We are stuck grappling with the possibility there is no voting our way out of any of this and the lives our parents promised us might not actually pan out. So let’s have a little chat. Today we are joined by the Burqas and Beer Podcast, hosted by Afghan-Angeleno social worker Madina Warkdak and fellow Angelino social worker Kyna Wise, a podcast where two two millennial mental health professionals unpack the world, one slightly-chaotic conversation at a time. From decolonizing wellness to raging about the news, they cover politics, culture, identity, and the awkward art of existing—all from the cozy dysfunction of their walk-in closet.

211. Columbus and Epstein: A Legacy of Whiteness w/ the Brown Berets

1 hr 35 min

This episode is ad-free at https://www.rfemedia.com/ To learn about indigenous history is to learn that the foundational myth of the United States is that the American Revolution wasn’t actually a revolution, it was instead a fight over colonial sovereignty. Colonial elites wanted to expand west beyond Appalachia while the British imperialists, concerned with the maintenance of Empire, did not have the patience to fight another costly frontier war that would gain them little. It’s also to learn that if the British prosecuted the war the colonists did against the indigenous tribes, or how they prosecuted campaigns in Africa or India, which were inherently g-sidal - there would be no United States. But you can’t biological warfare, mass starve, and immolate your third cousins and return to London society with martial honor. Because the colonists were humans. The First Nations, the Africans, the peoples of Hindustan, were not. So when conservatives adjacent to the Palestine movement say - we’ve been Israelified. This isn’t who we are, we’re occupied. What do you mean - this has always been what we’ve done. The mask off of the Trump administration is simply us coming back to ourselves minus all the post-Vietnam civil rights window dressing. We have a very important episode for you today and we hope you listen to it in its entirety, which you can do ad-free and for free at RFEmedia.com. If you are listening on other platforms you’re gonna get ads, sorry.

205. How Can You Defend Those People?! Empathy in an Era of Mass Dehumanization w/ Sarah Bennett

1 hr 6 min

Our society exhibits a suicidal lack of empathy. We are witnessing mass death, violence, displacement on a global scale, all normalized and obfuscated by generations of bourgeois media and propaganda. How do we begin to push back against it in order to fight for a more sane, sustainable, and equitable world? In this episode of Colonial Outcasts we go inside the isolated and near-invisible world of US women’s prisons with former defense attorney and photojournalist Sarah Bennet. She is the author of “Looking Inside: Women with Life Sentences,” a long-term photographic project about women convicted of homicide and sentenced to life in New York State. The book follows them inside prison, after release, and in everyday life afterward, using portraits plus personal materials like letters, drawings, Polaroids, and handwritten notes to show that they are more than the crime that led to their sentences. The project resists stereotypes and asks readers to consider how punishment, memory, identity, and rehabilitation shape a life over decades. This is a challenging topic. Hope you enjoy!

Big Bend Betrayal: The Federal Assault on Our Public Lands

17 min

Our first Doc! The US Government is building a pointless wall through America's last wild border. This flagrant breach of public trust begins in Big Bend and ends in your backyard. Watch the full documentary with NO ADS at https://www.rfemedia.com/or on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/ColonialOutcasts DO NOT be distracted by “the pause.” Bulldozers are tearing through protected desert, sacred grounds, and decades of federal protections along the last truly wild stretch of the US-Mexico border. “Big Bend Betrayal” goes inside the fight between local conservationists, concerned citizens, border communities and a federal government contract awarded to a major Trump donor. You will see how ludicrous this border construction is, and how it is part of a larger normalization campaign to break the protections on all public lands in the continental United States. The end goal: privatize everything. After the midterms on Nov 3rd, the assault will continue…

199. THE US IS RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS: Iran, Ukraine, Venezuela & the Crisis of American Power

1 hr 50 min

A bombshell leak to the Washington post on Sunday, August 31st, demonstrated that US General Officers in the Pentagon are vying for increasingly finite assets and matériel across Combatant Commands, limiting the military viability of interventions in Iran, Ukraine, and Latin America. This episode examines how and why that is. Here is our general outline: Part 1: Russia–Ukraine Why did the CIA Director urgently fly to Russia? The US trying to freeze the Ukraine conflict NATO’s fragility Can the US rebuild its industrial base? Part 2: Iran, Sanctions & Economic Warfare The limits of military force The new sanctions / economic isolation Iran’s capacity to withstand the war Iran’s international partners Part 3: Venezuela & Latin America Securing Latin America The Venezuela deal Long-term objectives China & multipolarity in the Americas Final synthesis: ● The three sections ultimately connect: ○ Ukraine: limits of US/NATO military power. ○ Iran: limits of US military and financial coercion. ○ Venezuela: attempt to compensate by consolidating influence closer to home. ● Central question: Is the US adapting to a declining relative position—or attempting to reverse it through increasingly aggressive economic, military and political coercion?

FOLLOW US: https://www.instagram.com/rfemedia GUEST: https://www.instagram.com/free.palestine.tv Laith Marouf unveils the reality on the ground in defiance of western media's obfuscation. In the wake of an open letter from Western "Revolutionaries" parroting CIA and imperial talking points with the cloaked aim of delegitimizing Iran's resistance against an unceasing U.S. and Israeli global aggression, West Asia is proving its resilience through its ability to withstand desperate attempts to divide and conquer populations in Lebanon, Syria and Iran along sectarian, national or religious lines. Laith speaks on the current status within Lebanon, Syria and the shifting dynamics of power that Iran has managed to assert. These new material changes has exposed western failures in its goals for division and the growing momentum of revolutionary unity manifesting in Lebanon, Syria and West Asia as a whole. Laith Marouf is a long-time political activist, award-winning journalist, and political commentator working in media since 1999. He is also the founder of Free Palestine TV and regularly appears on television and radio, including Press TV, RT, and Al Mayadeen and has published with independent media such as Electronic Intifada, Mint Press, Black Agenda Report and more.

197. US Imperialism Bad, Iran Regime Also Bad: An Open Letter From The “Left”

1 hr 26 min

Dr. Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, himself a former political prisoner, models what a letter of solidarity written to Iranian political prisoners might look like: https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/47613/An-Alternative-Open-Letter-to-Iran%E2%80%99s-Political-PrisonersI'd say subscribe to https://www.rfemedia.com/ for the full episode but we forgot to get to Dr. Ghamari-Tabrizi's solidarity letter until the very end. So enjoy the full episode for free!Our argument is not a new one: that western intellectuals who purport to be anti-imperialist often do the work of imperialism by bothsidesing human rights abuses and war crimes, thereby manufacturing consent or at least fostering an information atmosphere of moral confusion so people find it challenging to pick a side. This directly aids and abets both Imperialism and the War State. Enjoy!

194. Averting Apocalypse: Taking on Climate Collapse in a Hopeful Way w/ Michael Mezzatesta

1 hr 0 min

Get the full episode with no ads at: https://www.rfemedia.com/ We really have to talk about climate catastrophe in an non-apocalyptic way in order to get people productively on-side. Besides, there's plenty to be done. The horrifying research I did for this episode might turn me into an environmental activist from a geopolitical position - things are going to get wild. States will collapse, wars will happen. Gone will be the days of carrier strike groups or even drones as global supply chains break down and all the evangelicals will be euphoric seeing that the end is nigh. There are going to crisis cults popping up everywhere - UFO cults, AI machine god cults - 4 billion people could die in the 25-30 years, and the bottomline is that we here at RFEmedia will still be transmitting this podcast and our Thursday livestream, if we live, from the Great Lakes region of the continental United States. Today we are joined by friend of the show, Michael Mezzatesta, a storyteller working at the intersection of economics, climate, and culture. His work reaches tens of millions of viewers each month and is recognized for making complex economic and climate issues accessible to a mainstream audience. He has an economics degree from Standoff university and champions a post-capitalist world. He is the host of the Better Future Podcast, the links for which are in the description.

192. Out of Ideas, Pentagon Crowd-Sources Iran War Planning to Troops: Live Q&A w/ Greg Stoker

1 hr 22 min

Subscribe to https://www.rfemedia.com/ for exclusive content and updates. It’s been about a 8 months since I have done any sort of military analysis on my platform because it not exactly the best mental health exercise and two and half years of posting everyday was exhausting, but times have changed. I’m getting back into it because things are escalating and the dynamics of modern warfare are changing faster than a lot of people, definitely military commanders in the Pentagon, can keep up with. Also, other conflicts are poised to pop off across the globe. There is also a fascinating lack of acceptance that warfare has been democratized against Imperial military elements like carrier strike groups and large, hard-site military bases, which can now be threatened across vast distances by relatively simple and cheap munitions. Also we really don’t have those because our defense industrial base is about making money, not about force-readiness. So the pentagon is now crowd sourcing to troops for innovative ideas to regain the initiative against Iran while being actively hamstrung by Data center vulnerability in the Gulf. Its tricky. Some Americans may cheer on Iran blowing up Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia and Palantir tech targets in Saudi Arabia and other GCC states due to their massive unpopularity here at home. Some people might get ideas. The information dimensions of this conflict are uncontrollable too so check out our Colonial Outcasts live stream episode about all of this tonight at 5pm EST on YouTube or our primary Platform, Substack.

190. Why Are Tech Billionaires Moving to Argentina? w/ Marianela Pereyra

1 hr 2 min

Check out https://www.rfemedia.com/ for the add-free episode. Yes, you can subscribe for free and get ZERO ads. They are moving due to: libertarian leadership, sovereign diversification, and geographic isolation. They fear global systemic collapse, and don't believe in borders or nation states like us peasants. We start today’s episode with some negligible Argentine world cup controversy, then move onto its idiotically colorful anarcho-capitalist president, Javier Milei and his notorious allegiances to both the state of Israel and trans-national tech billionaires like Peter Thiel. The US government wants to use the right-wing government of Argentina to serve as a mini Israel in the region - a bulwark against any left-wing movements in Latin America in order to bring it under the complete influence of the US and Israel. This is a complicated subject, but this initiative is founded on what are called the “Isaac Accords,” which are modeled after the Israeli normalization deal, the Abraham Accords, meant to establish US/Israeli hegemony over all the governments of West Asia. The core question here though, is “why are billionaires moving to Argentina?” Very excited for this episode, we’ve got a great guest and a lot to cover.

188. War and Women, Life, Freedom: Interpreting Iran in the Media w/ Sarah In Tehran

1 hr 23 min

The Imperial Media wants you to believe that Iranian society is a binary - either the people all yearn for freedom and regime change, or they are all religious fanatics shouting "death to America!" We do not trade in binaries around here. It is time that we speak to someone who actually lives there and understands the Western Media Apparatus. To that end we are joined by Sarah In Tehran, a media studies graduate who works in documentary film, to discuss rabid zionist monarchists and the media bias they promote, what the conversations in Iran are, and what actually happened with the Women, Life, Freedom movement in 2022. The amount of imperial propaganda being pumped into Iran by outlets like Iran International is truly prodigious and clearly resembles the Radio Free cold war model.

Something just happened exactly like we said it would last November when the State Department designated “Antifa-linked groups” in Europe as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. We said it would come back home and be used as a pretext to silence, delegitimize, debunk, and prosecute us or anyone else who challenges the oligarchic power that controls the state. We also discuss the State Departments “Cuba Report,” which has a two-fold purpose: to delegitimize progressives of all stripes as part of a hostile foreign influence network, cut back on freedom of speech and of the press, and to justify the expansion of the national security state. The other purpose is to justify regime change in Cuba with the prospect of direct military intervention. This entire document is a confounding slurry of distorted history and absurd conspiracy theories. It is meant to gin up and invent the reality of enemies within and without while asserting that all of these enemies are connected. However, we know the truth.

186. Operation Eternal Darkness: Militarism and AI Targeting in a Post-Accountability World

1 hr 4 min

Hello and Welcome to colonial outcasts the anti-imperialist podcast that examines systems of coercion, violence, and exploitation and not vibes. We are sick of everyone doing vibes based-analyses like Kamala Harris’s potential 2028 presidential campaign team who thinks that she just needs to get in with Mamdani and all the top-cop blood on her hands will be washed away. As the Iran war distance conflict resumes and the South of Lebanon continues to experience an entrenchment of occupation - we can also directly connect everything that’s happening here in the Imperial Core, data centers, the expanding national security and surveillance state, anti-tech radicalism, to all violence being enacted overseas. Because we are adults who are adult enough to face uncomfortable truth’s, namely “that it can absolutely happen here and is happening here. You remember how ICE has instituted “free speech zones” outside of their detention center at Delaney Hall in New Jersey? There is no basis in law for them to actually do this. But still, they’re doing it, just like Israel is, in contravention of all international law, creating pilot zones in the south of Lebanon. Facists love Zones. Every single type of zone except autonomous zones. And We are returning now to West Asia. Today we are joined by Janet Abou-Elias, a researcher at the Democratizing Foreign Policy Project at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and a co-founder of Women for Weapons Trade Transparency. Her work focuses on U.S. law and foreign policy, emerging technologies, and U.S. arms sales. https://x.com/Janetabouelias

185. Get the Flock Out w/ Jessica Burbank

1 hr 0 min

Everyone hates the expansion of the National Security State, and if you want to hate it more and learn what is to be done subscribe to us at https://www.rfemedia.com/ for exclusive content and a more in-depth episode. Hello and welcome to colonial outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that your uncle who says “If you have nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to worry about,” when referencing the police or the FBI, will absolutely HATE. We are going to be talking about Flock, the entrenchment of the national security state, the Palestine Laboratory, the chickens coming home to roost, and most importantly our main thing here on this podcast - talking about what is to be done. To that end we are joined by independent journalist Jessica Burbank who has been reporting on Flock extensively for over the past year.

184. The Death of Lindsey Graham- There is No Red or Blue, Only Imperial Purple

1 hr 5 min

Check out https://www.rfemedia.com/ for exclusive content (Substack). Paywall is not active yet!When things get desperate enough for the Working Class, Democrats are allowed to pass social welfare programs as a counter revolutionary pressure release valve like the proposed one-time billionaire wealth tax in California. It is the reformist illusion of progress while eventually, as the national security state solidifies itself and hunter killer AI packages have work their way into the drones of your local police department, there will be no more social programs. Social Security will expire, most homes, agricultural lands, natural resources will be monopolized by private equity which donates equally to both parties, and there will never, ever be universal basic income. But hey, at least you voted for the “lesser of two evils” and you can blame those independent swine for not voting “blue no matter who” and destroying your future. But the horrifying truth is that there is no red or blue - only imperial purple and you, peasant, do not wear the purple - only the caesars, our modern day billionaires and captains of industry. So we are going to talk about this most recent round of ICE killings, the revamped war with Iran, Lindsey Graham as a locus for examining how red and blue loves each other, the Imperial Boomerang theory for you newcomers, and the origin of policing as a counter insurgency force. There is no daylight between the for profit police state, and the for profit war state. And as always, we talk about what is to be done!#imperialboomerang #breakingnews #lindseygraham #dnc

183. Graham Platner: How We Refuse to Learn Simple Lessons

1 hr 2 min

Check us out at https://www.rfemedia.com/ Imperialism is a primary contradiction, so let’s talk about it because no one is addressing the veteran angle in a critical way . Platner's defenders have been using his self-celebrated service record and the combat PTSD excuse in order to explain away bad behavior, alcohol abuse, and a failure to come to terms with the true cost of the Global War on Terror. I think if some of us were more politically disciplined a bunch of people would not have been side-swiped by this recent credible allegations.It’s just me today for this episode, everyone else is on summer break so I’m stuck having to talk about Platner, about what military service truly means in all its violence and why I currently do not trust a single veteran in office or a single one who is running, and why placing your faith in singular movement leaders to usher in the revolution and turn the electoral college and this whole franchise around is never going to cut it. We might talk about Cesar Chavez, since it’s somewhat apropos.

182. Patriot Front Marches on DC: This is the Price of Tolerance w/ Zue Jernstedt

1 hr 7 min

Check out the full episode for free at" https://www.rfemedia.com/ We are not the tolerant left, and we finally need to talk about how influencers in the Palestine Movement support the ideology of White Christian Nationalism, tokenizing Palestinian identity in order to avoid accountability for inherently violent and racist beliefs. Some of you may know who they are, though we're not calling anyone out specifically at this time. In this episode we discuss: The Paradox of Tolerance, how this Veterans Against Fascism march was organized, how it was materially and structurally different from the literal performative Patriot Front march, and how we build momentum and community going forward. To that end, we are joined by Zue Jernstedt - field organizer with About Face: Veterans Against the war, and International Solidarity Member doing protective presence in the West Bank. She was also on the Global Sumud Flotilla with me. We burnt out and pissed off, but hope you enjoy the episode!

181. How Military Culture Has Infected American "Manhood" w/ Jasper Craven

1 hr 31 min

I am third generation United States Army, so there was heavy childhood indoctrination in my family. You weren’t a man until you served in a combat unit. In a culture where older rights of passage have been abandoned or intentionally erased, all in service of the imperial machine, there is one coming of age ritual universally available to young men in America - the military. This episode demonstrates how that is bad for literally everyone on the planet. We are joined byJasper Craven is an award-winning investigative journalist covering the U.S. military, veterans' issues, and the American educational complex. He is the author of the critically acclaimed book God Forgives, Brothers Don’t, which will be discussed here today, and a frequent contributor to major national publications. His investigative reporting on the military has appeared in The New York Times, The New Republic, Harper's Magazine, Politico, The Baffler, and The Intercept.

There is No Master Plan: Is the US Playing 1D Chess to Maintain the Petro-Dollar?

1 hr 1 min

In this episode of Colonial Outcasts, we’re joined by Elina Xenophontos to break down one of the biggest narratives circulating right now: that the United States is executing some kind of grand strategy to preserve the petro-dollar through global energy blockades, military escalation, and economic warfare. We’re here to challenge that idea. From the escalating tensions with Iran to the deployment of additional carrier strike groups, the so-called “blockade,” and ongoing threats of further military action, we take a hard look at what’s actually happening—and whether any of it resembles a coherent long-term plan.Is this 4D chess… or something much simpler? We discuss:The reality behind the US “blockade” of Iran Why the petro-dollar “master plan” theory doesn’t hold up Military escalation and contradictions in US strategy The role of chaos, miscalculation, and short-term decision making How online narratives can overestimate state competence If you’ve been hearing that everything is part of a carefully orchestrated imperial strategy—this episode is for you.

So we’re about 5 weeks into the most unpopular war in US history with this being the first war ever where the majority of Americans are consciously siding with the nations we’re attacking. After 3 years of Genocide in Gaza, the planet has experienced a level moral cohesion that is unprecedented. This, combined with the revelations coming out of the Epstein files, has set the stage for a level of global solidarity against a common enemy that we have never seen.Iran and Lebanon have shifted the power dynamics through their strategic operations and messaging to the world and in doing so have opened the floodgates of resistance in the region that united Sunni, Shia, Christian and secular, despite the Wahabi and sectarian psyops working overtime to divide. We discuss this unity and the failure of imperial manipulations in the region with a formidable panel of gifted and determined voices from Lebanon and Palestine.Soha Yassine is a guerrilla journalist and narrative podcaster whose work inside the Lebanese hip hop scene — through Safe House Travel Diary — documents resistance, identity, and survival on the ground.

War Abroad, Division at Home—Can Anyone Be Reached Before the End Times? (w/ Dr. Hilary Agro)

1 hr 22 min

This week felt like a turning point. While most headlines focus on rising tensions with Iran and the possibility of wider conflict, a series of U.S. military operations—reportedly including “Operation Epic Fury” and “Operation Total Extermination”—are expanding across multiple regions with barely any public scrutiny. From strikes in the Caribbean to escalating actions near the Colombia–Ecuador border, the scope of what’s happening right now is bigger than most people realize.At the same time, we’re watching the national security state expand at home—ICE presence in airports, increasing surveillance, and political rhetoric that feels more extreme by the day. And somehow, we’re told all of this is for our benefit. Then we’re joined by Dr. Hilary Agro—anthropologist, organizer, and abolitionist educator—to tackle a question that feels more urgent than ever:Can people with harmful or contradictory political beliefs actually change?We talk about:- Why organizing the working class means engaging with people you disagree with- The psychology of political identity and belief formation- Why some people are open to change—and others aren’t- The challenges of bridging divides in an era of polarization- What it actually takes to build movements rooted in collective care and liberationIf we’re serious about building a better world, we have to figure out how to reach people—not just write them off.

Narrative Control: Losing in Iran and the Consent Manufacturing Loop w/ Dr. Keene-Montgomery

1 hr 6 min

The war isn't going well for the United States. Let's talk with anthropologist Dr. Katie Keene-Montgomery about how and why people are still trapped in this absurd narrative. Nobody exists outside of propaganda. Here are the six layers of narrative production for reference: 1. Economic interests that require a threat environment to stay profitable 2. Elite networks where consensus forms before any public debate 3. Funded think tanks that convert that consensus into expert opinion 4. Official language and legal designations that install the frame 5. Media systems that distribute it as neutral coverage 6. Public opinion polling that returns the result as democratic mandate 7. Repeat. This is continuous and cyclical. You can follow Katie here, new to youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@Keene-Montgomery

The Iran War is Going Worse Than You Think: Casualties, Quagmires and GCC Complicity

1 hr 16 min

Hi guys! It’s Wednesday and the War against Iran is going so well that US Regime Media has just dropped the new talking point to all its local subsidiaries - What’ll it be this time? "Short term pain for long term gain." We discuss the regional chess board and the global chess board, the fight for the petrodollar, and the complicity of the Gulf States in the war against Iran.

War Escalates: The Evangelical Role, Gulf Deception, and NATO's Cyprus Buildup

1 hr 25 min

The People Pushing War With Iran Believe the World Is EndingSo, this morning President Trump posted to social media that there “will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction.” He signed off with “MIGA!,” for “make Iran great again.”So the dimensions of this conflict have certainly expanded, and now involves over 17 different countries and far more complexity than the Invasion of Iraq - “We are in it Now” says senator Elisa Slotkin, former CIA case officer, when questioned today about approving additional defense funding to extend military operations against Iran for another Hundred Days. All while Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait are considering canceling or reviewing contracts and investment commitments with the U.S. due to mounting economic strain and insecurity caused by the ongoing war with Iran. This potential move aims to pressure the Trump administration to halt the conflict, as Gulf officials express frustration over not being warned about attacks and feeling unprotected.Trump has gutted the state department, many strategic state department postings in region remain unoccupied, USAID, which would usually be working on shaping a post conflict enviroment is not longer really a thing and US bases and Israeli cities have been getting hit. And despite the media blackout a ton of damage is being done to US assets, bases, and the war is not going well. But that’s okay because a lot of evangelical extremists in the WH are actually not trying to live in a better world or fix the environment, or improve your material conditions, because they believe they are living in a time of revelatory prophecy and we are nearing the end of human history anyways.

Managed Outrage: The Epstein Files and Class Power + 30min Exclusive Content

2 hr 2 min

Hello and Welcome to or Welcome back to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that your Ex-MAGA uncle turned Zionist Occupied Government theorist will at first hate, but might actually learn something from if he sticks around to listen. He might learn something about his own class in opposition to the ruling class, the Epstein Class, which he is not a part of - and why just pinning it all on Israel is the Psyop THEY all want you to embrace. Israel has been happy to be the fall guy for US Empire for decades now and We are going to be talking about the information operations surrounding the release of the Epstein Files, how this is a managed and timed release to uphold and preserve the political and economic structure of capitalism, and how the US and Israel became symbiotically merged  into one overriding architecture of extraction, exploitation, and violence. 

Violence and Bluster: ICE Storm Troopers Shoot Citizen as The US Goes Full Empire in the Caribbean

1 hr 28 min

This is Terrible. This is our follow up episode to the last Venezuela episode we released this past Saturday. There has been a torrent of information and analysis released since then and a reinvigorated push for heedless domination coming out of the Whitehouse - to discuss this, special operations propaganda, diaspora politics, the seizure of a Russian Flagged Oil tanker off the coast of Iceland and what this all means for the future of geopolitics and the working class, we are joined as usual by Elina Xenophontos. Fun times in the most sarcastic way possible, too bad we only have an hour to discuss the most salient points of what is going on right now.

Trump Strikes Venezuela, Threatens Iran: the End of the International Order

1 hr 31 min

Hello and welcome to colonial outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that is doing a special Saturday episode because we have to come to the Fall of the Roman Republic 2.0 where to empire is unmasked in a might-makes-right era of unceasing resource driven wars of domination waged with zero moral pretext or Casus Belli - the one difference is that the average roman citizen may have been lucky enough to receive an infrequent large cash distribution, a land allotment for the destitute in conquered territories, or access to vital resources like grain from Egypt, and metals from Spain, which lowered costs of living. None of that will be happening for you or the people of Venezeula as a result of this imperialist intervention. There will be no trickle down economics coming from the privatization of Venezuela’s oil sector.
