Former U.S. Marine, whistleblower, and frontline activist Ken O’Keefe  @TJPKenOKeefe exposes the Israel-Palestine conflict, war propaganda, and state power on episode 214 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.

Ken O’Keefe is a former Marine turned human-rights activist known for the Gaza Freedom Flotilla and his daring “human shield” missions in Iraq. For years, he’s confronted official narratives on war, sovereignty, and media manipulation — bringing raw firsthand experience and an unapologetic moral compass to some of the most uncomfortable conversations in geopolitics.

In this conversation, Faust and Ken get specific about Gaza and the West Bank, how manufactured narratives shape public perception, and why free speech matters when history cuts against the grain. Ken traces his path from combat to dissent, calls out U.S. involvement abroad, argues for state sovereignty — even secession and state-run banks — and makes the case that empathy, love, and the family unit are the ultimate antidotes to a demoralized culture.
