Let Them Eat Cake

In this episode, we talk to Sean Hastings, a researcher and host of “What Happened To Syria,” where Sean talks about the history of the Syrian civil war and Syrian revolution. He also co-founded hurriya.net and edits for the English language site.

With us, he talks about the fallout of the war against ISIS, and the Assad regime, the impacts on different groups throughout Syria, and how HTS and Jolani dislodging, and overthrowing the Assad regime has changed the environment and relationships within the country.

Ranging from the Kurds in the north east, to the alawites in the west.

We also discuss how Daesh rose and fell, touching on the ISIS brides and much more

We Interview Rowan Glass, a journalist from Modern Insurgent, who put together a recent MI documentary covering the thirtieth anniversary of the Zapatistas Autonomy. We try to get into what, and who, the Zapatistas are, for anyone who’s not aware.

John and Jack have been wanting to cover the Zapatistas for a while and consider them to one of the more important autonomous groups around today.

This is in conjunction with a documentary Rowan made covering the first celebration, allowing foreigners to Chiapas in, five years to celebrate the 30th anniversary for their autonomy.

Please go and watch that documentary over on ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ https://youtu.be/bQaJYlgKp_A?si=rZrhTOuEcj_24WmM

We discuss a lot of topics, and this is a very jargon heavy episode, and we apologise, but there's not much you can do about it. Either way, a very interesting discussion that shouldn't be missed.

A special episode covering the protests in Bangladesh (we livestreamed the night before the government caved.

This covers everything to the government giving into demands and scrapping quotas.

This episode is going to be a slightly different style. The topic of today's video will be the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, which is not recognised by the United States, and is known as the Taliban, and why people would support their rule over the nation. 

Neither Jack, John, nor 5thGen condone these points of view, stances, or anything said during this interview. As we are journalists, we want to give everyone the information they need to understand the world in the best way they can. So please, let us show you the perspective of someone who supports the Taliban, and how they see the world, from a neutral perspective..

Before the interview we cover some headlines, once again, we apologise for the delay, we have been extremely busy preparing to register as a non-profit and streaming. We are trying to get more LTECs out so please be patient. 

News for today will be the United Kingdom, Rwanda, and Islamic Regime of Iran’s elections; the on-going issues between Britain and Spain, over ownership of Gibraltar on the Spanish southern tip, Kenya, explanation why we don’t constantly cover Israel, and Turkey normalising relations with Assad.

In the bulk of the episode we give you a very quick rundown of what NATO believed to be the important parts of their 75th anniversary summit in the United States, in June. From Ukraine to women's issues and climate change, NATO tells us who the real threat is.

And as always, we are 5thGen, and we hope you enjoy this episode.

This episode, we host Sonja, an activist, organiser, and anarchist based out of Oklahoma. Sonja explains how to organise, how to work as a street medic, and more! 

Before the interview we cover some headlines, due to a delay on the production of Let Them Eat Cakes this week is more of a May news wrap so, in the wrap, we cover the Catalan elections, Georgian anti-government protests, French colonialism tightening on New Caledonia, Israeli movements in Gaza (unfortunately we recorded before Israel dropped bombs on civilian refugee tent camps), Shoigu’s replacement, Chadian elections, and North Macedonia.

The main chunk of the news segment will be covering the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centres new index tracking Internally Displaced Persons for the year of 2023. A very number heavy segment but something we believe is very important to highlight, especially Sudan and the Congo.

In the bulk of the episode we go deep into organising, life working as a volunteer street media, how to prepare yourself and Chaya Raichik’s ascension to education board for Oklahoma despite her career as a real estate agent disqualifying her. 

As always, we are 5thGen, and we hope you enjoy this episode.

Before the interview we cover some headlines, this week we cover the internal Boeing catastrophe, African, Sahel and the Horn, politics, EU and Gaza updates, South American Democracy and more. 

In this weeks episode we cover what Dominion ideology is, internal operations of Singapore, and the far-rights operations and connections to US Christian figures and groups. This episode is one to listen to as it could keep you informed when the inevitable information warfare hits American shores.
