Bill Maher's Vote is in play, and there ain't a snowballs chance in hell he's voting for a damn commie!

Whelp, it’s Friday and we have enjoyed another week of abject political dumbassery. Come process and decompress with us this day of July 24th as we are joined by Nour Hadidi - a lefty comedian, writer, and founder of Comedians4Palestine. Much to discuss…

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. You can follow Sarah here:

It is Wednesday and we’ve got a heck of a show here for ya! 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.

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.

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. Follow her here!

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

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.

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!

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. Links to his book, both print and audio:
