In this episode we’re going to look at the resistance that grew to America’s emergence as an overseas empire in the 1890s—The Anti-Imperialist League. We’ll look at where the League failed and succeeded, what became of it and what parallels exist with anti-imperialism today.  Are we running into the same problems over and over again? Just as empires have patterns they continually recreate, does anti-imperialism too?

‘If you think Alex Jones is right then it’s an overwhelmingly good thing he warned everyone about this emerging fascism. If you think he’s wrong then he’s scare mongered people into non-compliance with entirely sensible public health measures. What I want to point out though is that if Alex is guilty of creating fear and suspicion of government mandated medicine, then Abby Martin is no less so. Examining why takes us right into the heart of the Left and Libertarian anti-imperialist divide.’

I’d like to look at why Jimmy’s gypsy joke worked. If the audience don’t find the idea of  genocide gypsies any funnier than they find pedophilia, why did they laugh?

When in stories of conquest

You no longer buy

And the promise of security Is seen for a lie

Then a different song We’ll just have to sing

A siren call of compassion

That sounds so warm and nurturing

Heal the World is a kind of nondual spiritual book, written in a really down to earth relatable style. I would suggest this is one of David Icke’s strengths as a writer, the ability to talk about spirituality as if he was having a conversation down the pub.

‘Do not make peace until we get Porto Rico.’ That’s what Theodore Roosevelt wrote to his partner in imperial crime, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, as Roosevelt was preparing to personally invade Cuba. ‘Porto Rico is not forgotten and we mean to have it,’ Lodge replied.

And so on April 24th 1898 the United States and Spain went to war over Cuba. There was no need for the U.S. to enact conscription as it would do in later wars, Spurred on by a belief that Spain had murdered Americans on the USS Maine, hundreds of thousands, maybe up to a million young men volunteered. 

There were substantial American commercial interests in Cuba, mostly agricultural and in railways, totaling around one and a half billion dollars in today's money. Cuban rebels were talking about that most dreaded of things—land redistribution.

Jacqui Deevoy is a freelance journalist who has spent many years writing for major British newspapers. Around two years ago she began investigating how a banished euthanasia program had returned to British hospitals—coinciding with the onset of COVID-19. This program includes greatly increased use of the respiratory depressant drug midazolam. Jacqui joins us today to talk about her research and how it casts a different light on the periodic spikes in deaths experienced since April of 2020.

Founder of the Annexation Club, Lorrin Thurston, organised a ‘Committee of Safety’ to overthrow Hawaiian Queen Liliuokalani. Crucial to this effort was the presence of the USS Boston and 162 American Marines, who came ashore ostensibly to protect US citizens, but in reality ensuring the coup would be a success.
