I almost feel stupid talking about the idiocy of Signalgate.

We are going to be discussing the US Navy Vs. the Houthis, why the US strategy won’t work, and we’ll start with the massive Operational Security debacle that is called Signalgate, and what we can learn from it. Yes, Pete Hegseth our stalwart secretary of defense, is a complete idiot. We’re also going to be talking about how the US just deployed a wing of US stealth bombers to the Diego Garcia Airbase in the Indian Ocean - escalation or show of force?

Repost from MintPress News:

The Press is already calling it Signalgate, harkening back to the infamous political scandal in 1972 under the Nixon administration. On Monday, March 24th the Atlantic broke the story that journalist Jeffery Goldberg had been added to a signal group chat with US national security leaders discussing impending war plans for aerial combat missions against Houthi leadership in Mid March of this year. Classified information was discussed on an open-source civilian messaging application. While Signal is used by military leaders around the world, according to Signal’s CEO, it is against the PEntagon’s operational security protocols. Using a Signal chat to share highly classified information and accidentally including a reporter on the discussion could raise the possibility of violations of federal laws such as the Espionage Act.It can be a crime to mishandle, misuse or abuse classified information, though it is unclear whether such provisions might have been breached in this case. However, the salient point here is that they were using an app with disappearing messages, a feature not available on secure governmental messaging systems where accountability is a priority. Join us tonight on State of Play to do a deep dive into this budding scandal, and what it means for both the administration and for Yemen.

Hello and elcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that needs a vacation, but is unlikely to get one. Today we are going to be doing a round table of the conflicts arising in the West Asia which I am calling the Global War on Terror 2.0 - and we’re doing 2.0 because 1.0 only lasted twenty years, killed millions from Afghanistan to Lybia, and accomplished pretty much nothing. AQ is still around, the Taliban are still around, there are open air slave markets in Lybia and the Islamic State ideaology has spread its way across Africa in the Sahel. And yes, all the while you got poorer, less educated, and we want more of that. 

Join us as we look at the violence of late-stage imperial power.

An emergency episode with Dr. Altalla of the al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza who returns to provide a brief update on the latest influx of casualties as the result of Trump’s continuation of Biden’s blank check policy to supply Israel the tools it needs to “finish the job”. In the past 24 hours an estimated 400+ civilians have been slaughtered along with hundreds more injured.

Sign and support Mahmoud here: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/demand-the-immediate-release-of-columbia-student-pro-palestine-advocate-mahmoud-khalil-from-dhs-detentionFollow Nerdeen here for updates: https://x.com/NerdeenKiswaniThis episode is about the disappearing and potential deportation of Mahmoud Khalil - Palestinian activist detained by ICE over Columbia University protests. President Trump has likened him to a terrorist sympathizer for saying such direct quotes as ““As a Palestinian student, I believe that the liberation of the Palestinian people and the Jewish people are intertwined and go hand-by-hand and you cannot achieve one without the other.” He told CNN last spring. We’re going to be talking to Nerdeen Kiswani - Palestinian-American activist and organizer. She is a co-founder and chair of Within Our Lifetime, a pro-Palestinian activist group in New York City, and Marie Adele - third year student at Barnard/Columbia and activist for Palestine who know Mahmoud personally. We’re also going to be doing a know your rights call to action at the end of this because they’re trying to make the 1st amendment - fungible.

Emergency Sunday Episode: Hello and Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcasts that a lot of people are going to hate and no one is going to be happy and the pro-palestine movement will get refractured again because this is an emergency Sunday episode about Syria… probably the messiest battle space in existence with dozens of warring factions, literally every global and regional power has its fingers invested in this conflict, and there is propaganda coming from every side…

It will be if insane if this totally reasonable interview gets taken down...

We are going to be focusing more on domestic issues today - your healthcare, your declining material conditions, and how both the democrats and republicans will come together to stamp down on any working class dissent.

To that end, we are joined by James from Comrade Workwear. He runs Comrade Workwear which recently got into hot water with nearly every major corporation and the NYPD for a deck of playing cards he designed in the wake of the assassination of Brian Thompson which featured the CEOs of prominent companies and information about their misdeeds. He runs comrade workwear and recently launched Means workwear with the means co-op.

So what we are talking about today is the state of the Democratic Party and how much they love to lose. If y’all took a break from the news cycle over the weekend you may have missed the story broken by politico about this DNC operative retreat where a bunch of democratic “strategists” gathered at an east coast resort to talk about how to win mid terms in 2026 and to take the Whitehouse in 2028 by doing the exact same thing they’ve been doing since 2015….

In the end, the shrieking chain-rattling ghost of Henry Kissinger is always right “It may be dangerous to be America enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.” He also said “America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests.” Ukrainians and to a lesser extent Europeans are figuring out what it means to be Kurdish, and they are spiraling.

Western Europeans, liberal elites and establishment figures are seeing the face the US presents to nations of the global south, and the truly shocking thing is they’re now getting the same treatment in a humiliating public way.

We are joined today by Nick from Revolutionary Blackout Network: https://x.com/SocialistMMA

I Won’t be recording from this crappy internet location again. Also get ready for run-on sentences.

Anyways, hello and welcome to Colonial Outcasts - the anti-Imperialist podcast that that your problematic Uncle will be increasingly confused by… because we are going in pretty deep on this one, discussing the European Union and the rise of fascism in the modern Era! We’re going to be bringing in Ukraine, potential trade wars with Europe, Frau Genocide, aka Ursula Van Der Leyen, more sanctions on Russia, the militarization of Europe… fun times… but we’re mostly going to be focusing on the great Leader of Europe - Germany… Germany because no one fascists like my people. Round three - here we go!
