Colonial Outcasts

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!

This is generally Patreon-only episode, but I didn't want to paywall this one...

The Gaza ceasefire stands on the edge of a knife. This political and military reality brings back into focus, though it’s never gone away, the humanitarian situation in Gaza in the wake of the Israeli state policy of systematically dismantling medical infrastructure with the use of US weaponry and clumsily orchestrated direct action IDF raids on hospitals and hospital staff in the name of “finding Hamas.”

To that end, we are joined by Dr. Mimi Syed, a board-certified emergency medicine physician. She is an assistant clinical professor at University of Washington and Washington State University.

She is a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians.Dr.Syed served in Gaza from August 8 to September 5, 2024, and December 3 to December 31, 2024, at both al-Aqsa Hospital and Nasser Hospital.

Hello and welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the Anti-imperialist podcast that has way too much crap to talk about and not enough time to do it. It is February 18th and we are seeing titanic policy shifts in Europe, and West Asia - East Asia as well, but we won’t have too much time for that as the Trump Administration takes a more aggressive diplomatic stance towards Taiwan Independence as the Island Nation, territory, whatever you consider it to be, explores $10bn US arms deal to secure Trump’s support. Trump being obsessed with countries paying their own defense budgets to his satisfaction. Anyways, today will be Lebanon, some developments in Syria, Palestine as Always, A brief post mortem on the Munich Security council that signals a landmark shift in European security architeure and a breaking of the trans Atlantic world, and the current peace talks in Riyadh between the US and Russia regarding the termination of the War in Ukraine. It’s a lot - and we a joined for our weekly geo-political round-up by Regular contributor Elina Xenophontos, no longer coming to us from Cyprus, instead the more inhospitable realm of Albion, specifically London.

We are going to be talking about music, revolutionary ideology, the precarious position of empire within the context of this Dark American Experiment, and whatever else we feel like talking about.

This episode was structured off of the article "Imperialism in Crisis: Gaza, Trade Wars and Trump's Geopolitical Mayhem" by Elina Xenophontos, joining us tonight from London, England.

An unstable West Asia security situation has global ramifications and this talk about a voluntary mass exodus of Palestinians from Gaza is unworkable, stilly, and as detached from reality as anything else the United States has done in the Levant over the past 20 years. Why is this scheme doomed to fail: well, we are going to do a whole geopolitical and economic round-up from “the periphery to the metropole." Lets get into it...

We weren’t going to do an episode today. They take a lot of research and prep, but we felt that we couldn’t not do an episode because President Orange Blob (aka Donal Drumpf) has said some completely asinine things, which he always does, but this instance is about Gaza.

I spent a lot of last night talking to people who were rightly terrified by Trump’s remarks about the US occupying and controlling Gaza, but now is not the time to freak out - yet. So we are going to have a free-form conversation about it so allay some fears. Join us!
