New Jersey Drones and the Rising Police State: Reframing the Narrative on the Imperial Boomerang Dec 17, 2024

Show notes

Hello and welcome to or welcome back to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast where we generally discuss the dirty work our governments are doing overseas. However, today we are bringing it back to the homefront, Imperial Boomerang style, to talk about this stupid drone media frenzy and how the real threat isn’t an Independence Day-esque Alien invasion, but our own government.

Exploiting Chaos: The US/Israel Gambit in Syria and the Wider Region Amidst Geopolitical Reshuffling Dec 16, 2024

Show notes

I guess the intense emotions swirling around are a mixture of elation that Assad is deposed and despondency that the Axis of Resistance and the state of the Palestinian cause look to be in a pretty bleak state right now. Things looked like they were going well in terms of the Israeli state destroying itself and the US losing massive influence in the Region, and then within a week all this pressure that was building got released and the entire situation has taken a 180.

Literally the Empire Strikes back, which you know happens before the fall. Let's talk about the new Geopolitical reality.

HTS and Israel's Vision for a New Middle East w/ Robert Inlakesh Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

Repost from my @MintPressNews episode. Last time I will b e dual posting, so follow us there if interested! Following its new attacks on Syria, Israel’s leaders and much of its media tout the creation of a new Middle East. Is this possible? Israel and the collective West have had little success in controlling the region. Join us Tonight on State of Play to discuss the volatile dynamics of Syria and the infeasibility of a messianic “Greater Israel.”

Israel Bombs Syria as Government Collapses: What is Next For the Country? W/ Afeef Nessouli Dec 09, 2024

Show notes

We platform different voices and perspectives on this Podcast. This is a repost from the MintPress Show "State of Play." Hope you enjoy. It will be controversial...

No one predicted the rapid pace of events in the most recent iteration of the Syrian Civil war, beginning with the rapid advance of HTS and other forces from Idlib province into the to city of Aleppo, the unanticipated stand down orders given to the Syrian Army, and the rapid collapse and flight of Assad’s government. Rumors of backroom deals, internal corruption, and Western interference abound, so we may not have a clear picture for some time. What remains then is the potential fates of Syria and the Axis of Resistance.

The situation is balanced on a knife’s edge, and to help us unravel the complexities of this multi-faction, multi-ethnic socio-political development we are joined by Afeef Nessouli, journalist with years of experience, both in the UN and the Carter Institute, reporting on Syria

Show notes

Repost from @MintPressNews subscribe for more content like this. Hey! After many requests I have decided to focus on a primer for this incredibly complex, painful, and divisive conflict from a great-power politics perspective.

Hezbollah Accepts Ceasefire From a Position of Strength W/ Ghadi Francis and Batool Subeiti Nov 27, 2024

Show notes

This is a repost of my interview with Ghadi Francis and Batool Subeiti - follow @MintPressNews for more content like this!

Many out there are confused by the sudden Ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon, given that one of Hezbollah’s initial early operational imperatives was to not relent its military pressure on Israel until a ceasefire was reached in Gaza.

That prospect, one of a ceasefire, seems more unlikely now, though some hold out hope that this ceasefire in Lebanon will snowball into others throughout the region. With the IDF on the brink, low on munitions and manpower, why relent now?

Israel in Shock as ICC Issues Arrest Warrant For Netanyahu/Gallant: Everything You Need to Know Nov 21, 2024

Show notes

Hello and welcome to or welcome back to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist pod cast that has released way too many episodes this week. Sorry, don’t want to go the way of Star Trek in the 90’s and give y’all franchise fatigue, but I’ve just been getting too many questions about what the International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, actually means.

Trump's Military and Immigration Policy Didn't Just Fall Out of a Coconut Tree: Origins and Consequence Nov 20, 2024

Show notes

Check us out on Patreon for exclusive content: https://www.patreon.com/c/ColonialOutcasts As the global order becomes less stable and the apparatus of the State becomes further weaponized against its own people, we here at Colonial Outcasts believe in revolutionary unity and ideological pluralism. To that end, let's touch grass about Trump. Today we are going to be talking about the growing fear of President-Elect Trump “purging the military” and employing it on Immigrants, protestors, and anyone he doesn’t like. Is it actually going to happen and what does that mean going forward. We’re going to be focusing a lot on immigration on this one. Should be lively, convo’s with J Alfred usually force me out of my completely left-wing Anarchist echo-chamber, so strap in - we’re gonna start with the great liberal fear of Trump purging the military.
