Some Strong Language

Pete has been wanting to do an episode on the situation with the Uighur population in northwest China so he invited Bird from the Friends Against Government podcast. Bird did his thesis for his political science degree on the history of the conflict and lays out a timeline of over 100 years leading up to Xi Jinping's decision to escalate China's heavy-handed domestic policy into the Xinjiang province.

Jon Schwarz gives us a brief history of America's many betrayals of the Kurds since the end of World War I. In a recent article for The Intercept he describes at least eight separate times the U.S. government has used Kurdish fighters to its own advantage and then later allowed, or even encouraged, other countries to turn on them while America pulls its support. Although he thinks President Trump's betrayal of our Kurdish allies this time around is bad, just like all the other times, he reminds us that this is a necessary consequence of running a world empire. We should direct our anger where it truly belongs—at American military hegemony itself.

On FPF #412, I break down the death of ISIS leader al-Baghdadi. Baghdadi is reported to have killed himself - and three of his children - after being cornered by US forces. I discuss what his death means for the future of ISIS. Trump gave a speech announcing Baghdadi's death. I examine some of the highlights from the speech.

So apparently Baghdadi (founder and head of ISIS) is dead for real this time, the infamous Bill Taylor says the quid pro quo is real, Gaetz lead a siege of the SCIF, Hilary thinks Tulsi is a Russian asset, and we're sending troops to eastern Syria because you know what is there

It's been a long week y'all

Kieren McCarthy discusses the recent revelation that the FBI has access to the NSA's national security database, and has queried it tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of times. The database, gathered under special surveillance powers by the NSA and CIA, is not supposed to be accessible by other law enforcement agencies, except under special cases of investigating foreigners for purposes of national security. But it turns out that regular FBI agents have in fact been using it to gather information on American crimes by American citizens. McCarthy points out that even after this kind of scandal breaks, people just seem to forget about it, allowing these agencies to continue abusing their power.

Discussed on the show:

"Remember the FBI's promise it wasn’t abusing the NSA’s data on US citizens? Well, guess what…" (The Register)

Trevor Aaronson discusses some of the FBI's egregious abuses of its power over American citizens, most recently brought to light by their use of an informant to investigate a law-abiding militia group in California for years. Although the FBI claims to be concerned with acts of violence alone, and not ideology, cases like this are clear examples of their willingness to go after people only for their views, and despite the absence of any wrongdoing whatsoever. Most of the supposedly foiled terrorist plots of recent years, in fact, are FBI entrapments to begin with, as Aaronson documents in his book, The Terror Factory.

Discussed on the show:

"Informant Reveals FBI’s Already Vast Powers to Investigate Right-wing Extremists" (The Intercept)

"In Search of John Doe No. 2: The Story the Feds Never Told About the Oklahoma City Bombing" (Mother Jones)

With the U.S. government announcing the death of Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi I thought to ask Scott Horton to give about 15 minutes of commentary as to what this should mean to the future of U.S. foreign policy.
