Operation MIDNIGHT HAMMER: The US PR Stunt to Spark Regional Conflict, Isolate China
The U.S., Israel, and Iran are edging dangerously close to all-out war. As missile exchanges escalate, munitions stockpiles run low, and diplomacy gives way to deception, the US has decided to strike Iranian nuclear hardsites. This looks like an inflammatory PR stunt, let's get into it. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly breakdowns of global conflicts, realpolitik, and unfiltered foreign policy analysis.
America's Endgame: Iran, China, and the Road to Global Chaos w/ Assal Rad
The U.S., Israel, and Iran are edging dangerously close to all-out war. As missile exchanges escalate, munitions stockpiles run low, and diplomacy gives way to deception, the geopolitical stakes have never been higher. In this in-depth analysis, we break down how U.S. foreign policy, Israeli military strategy, and Iranian retaliation are converging into a perfect storm — one that could drag the region, and the world, into a catastrophic conflict.Is this another Iraq War moment?
Are we witnessing the collapse of diplomacy and the rise of raw power politics? And how do Trump’s ambitions, the Abraham Accords, and global power rivalries with Russia and China factor in?
Can Iran Survive? MAGA Fractures as Unpopular Intervention Looms w/ Propaganda and Co.
In this Iran war update, we discuss the escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. As the conflict intensifies, the media is withholding critical information about U.S. and Israeli involvement.
What’s REALLY going on? Why is the world ignoring the dangerous game being played in the Middle East?
In this video, we discuss: The U.S. and Israel's secret agenda in Iran. Why the media isn’t telling you the full story about the conflict. How the Iran nuclear deal and military strikes are reshaping global geopolitics. The impact of U.S. intervention and what it means for the future of the region.
BREAKING: Iran Accesses Israeli Intel – Israel Prepares for STRIKES – CENTCOM on Edge
🚨 Iran Obtains Israeli Intelligence – Will Israel Declare WAR? (6th Round Talks Collapse?) The Middle East is on HIGH ALERT after Iran reportedly acquired classified Israeli intelligence, prompting direct threats of military action from Israel. As the 6th round of diplomatic talks unfolds, tensions are skyrocketing—with CENCOM (U.S. Central Command) monitoring closely. Could this lead to full-scale war?
Revolutionaries Organize Against Systems: Palestine, State Violence, and ICE Abolition w/ Butch Ware
In Part one we discussed what is happening on the ground, how ICE operates, how local and federal police and now the military are protecting them, what citizens are doing to counter ICE actions, and how this will most likely play out, with journalist Constanza Eliana Chinea. It was a good one, check it out. In this part two we will be connecting foreign policy to domestic policy through the lens of both ICE and Palestine, because the connection could not be more direct and people need to start tying this whole apparatus to together. And also the Democratic Party in California, perhaps with the central anchoring question: are centrists the real dangerous ones in the context of escalating violent fascism. I don’t know. To that end we are joined by Professor Butch Ware - a lifelong activist and educator specializing in the history of empire, colonialism, genocide and revolution. For the past two decades, Ware has put scholarship in service of the people, especially in response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, as well as the George Floyd murder in 2020.
Escalating ICE Raids, LA Riots, and Palestine w/ Costanza Eliana Chinea Pt.1
Tonight on State of Play on MintPress News, also posting this on my personal colonial outcasts platform to expand the exposure cause we are all sooo shadow banned these days, we are having a two part ICE episode, part one is what is happening on the ground, how ICE operates, how local and federal police and now the military are protecting them, what citizens are doing to counter ICE actions, how this will most likely play out.

Orwell's Nightmare Arrives: Palantir Powers National Database of Citizens and What to Do About It
Hello and Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that your MAGA uncle might hate less today than he did yesterday, as that entire cult of personality is fragmenting yet again with the advent of this new Palantir deal to create a national database that is unprecedented in our history. It will include:
- Tax filings
- Student Debt
- Social Security
- Bank Accounts
- Medical Claims
- Immigration status
No previous database system has ever centralized this much personal info across various federal agencies. If you, like me, are a critic of China’s social credit system (totally valid to disagree with me), just know that in the Hands of Palantir, a data analysis company founded in 2003, partially backed by the CIA's venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel, the new American edition is going to be so much more repressive and targeted.
ICE: The Elites’ New Tool for Human Trafficking
Joined by:
Mea https://www.instagram.com/spacebunnynews1 and
Ruth https://www.instagram.com/detentionresistance
ICE is currently engaging in and facilitating human trafficking for the profit of billionaires, and that’s not a hyperbole.
After the Epstein scandal was exposed to the dismay of the ruling class, how do you convince millions of Americans to support a new system of human trafficking on a massive scale with no legal barriers to stop it? Convince them it’s for their safety.
While the American public has been fed the narrative that the mass incarceration and detention of undocumented immigrants has been to reduce “migrant related crime”, the majority of immigrants being rounded up have committed no violent or drug-related offenses, all while nobody on the flight logs to Little Saint James have been arrested and the best we’ve gotten is a heavily redacted list given to hijacked social media influencers and a clear message from the Depart of Justice: “nothing to see here, folks”.
Besides the fact that some of the first targets of ICE were protestors to Israel’s crimes, ICE is now providing Wall Street with a new cash cow via massive billion dollar contracts to the private prison and security industry that will inevitably be used on American citizens but currently being beta tested on hardworking migrant families as a soft opening for a totalitarian police state that will be weaponized against anybody American in the working class.
But it’s not going to be that easy thanks to the hard work of activists, patriots, constitutionalists and human rights activists.
To learn more about the critical actions being taken to slow the roll of fascism in San Diego, we are joined by Mea and Ruth. Mea has been a critical voice in the Palestinian Liberation movement and Ruth is a Detention Resistance collective member which she’s been involved with since 2019.
Detention Resistance is an abolitionist, non-institutional, autonomous collective organizing in accompaniment with migrants, refugees, and those who have been criminalized by the state. With Mea documenting, Ruth has been working on the ground in San Diego in assisting vulnerable migrants against the unconstitutional violations from ICE’s ambushes on migrants seeking to navigate the bureaucracy of the court system to pursue legal status and providing support for migrants detained in what any historical expert would deem to be concentration camps.

Interview with the Black Panthers: Solidarity with Rednecks & Palestine

The Black Panthers Ten Point Program:
1. We Want Freedom. We Want Power to Determine the Destiny of Our Black Community.
We believe that Black people will not be free until we are able to determine our destiny.
2. We Want Full Employment for Our People.
3. We Want An End to the Robbery By the Capitalists of Our Black Community.
We believe that this racist government has robbed us, and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules were promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of Black people.
4. We Want Decent Housing Fit For The Shelter of Human Beings.
5. We Want Education for Our People That Exposes The True Nature Of This Decadent American Society. We Want Education That Teaches Us Our True History And Our Role in the Present-Day Society.
We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowledge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world then he has little chance to relate to anything else.
6. We Want All Black Men To Be Exempt From Military Service.
We believe that Black people should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend a racist government that does not protect us.
7. We Want An Immediate End to Police Brutality and the Murder of Black People.
We believe we can end police brutality in our Black community by organizing Black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our Black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all Black people should arm themselves for self-defense.
8. We Want Freedom For All Black Men Held in Federal, State, County and City Prisons and Jails.
We believe that all Black People should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial.
9. We Want All Black People When Brought to Trial To Be Tried In Court By A Jury Of Their Peer Group Or People From Their Black Communities, As Defined By the Constitution of the United States.
We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution so that Black people will receive fair trials. The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, historical, and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the Black community from which the Black defendant came. We have been, and we are being, tried by all-White juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man” of the Black community.
10. We Want Land, Bread, Housing, Education, Clothing, Justice And Peace.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect of the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

DC Museum Shooting: False Flag or Rogue Actor? The State Will Crackdown Either Way, Cover For Israel
Thousand of Children are about to starve and when we say that Fascism is Imperialism turned inwards, this is what we mean.
The CIA’s twitter account just posted “The front gate at Headquarters is closed until further notice. Please use alternate routes for Thursday, May 22nd.”
We are seeing the coordinated focus on the protest slogan “globalize the Intifada” from right-wing politicians and Israeli propagandists.This is just another evolution of the ill-fated Global War on Terror, which has never ended, and will now turn inward on not only muslims but anyone who opposes the War-State.
We are entering The Global Police State: Dr. William I. Robinson
Once upon a time...right-wing conspiracy theorists warned us about a coming police-state ran by the global elites. They were right... But...ironically, now they're cheering on that same police state. How is this possible??? Branding.
We will be slowly rolling out a series of episodes on the subject of revolution and how we can actually make it happen. But first we need to lay out the basic contextual framework of how we got here and why revolution is absolutely necessary for our survival.
To help us do this, we're bringing in the professionals.

William I. Robinson is an American sociologist and professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, specializing in political economy, globalization, and social theory. He’s widely recognized for his work on global capitalism and transnational class formation.
In the 1980s, Robinson worked directly with the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) in Nicaragua during the revolutionary period after they overthrew the Somoza dictatorship in 1979. He was involved in political education, journalism, and solidarity work, helping to support and defend the Sandinista revolution both inside Nicaragua and internationally. His experiences during that time deeply shaped his later academic work on imperialism, social movements, and the global capitalist system.
Robinson remains an outspoken advocate for anti-imperialist movements and often draws on his Sandinista-era experiences in his critiques of U.S. foreign policy and neoliberalism.

India and Israel Are Ideological and Militarily Aligned as Violence Escalates w/ Tamkenat Mansoor
Hello and welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that both your MAGA and/or Hindutva Uncle would absolutely hate. Turns out you can both be a hindu nationalist, yearning for the establishment of the Hindu Rahstra, and a white supremacist who loves Trump. We have a special guest Tamkenat Mansoor, fellow activist and political commentator coming to us from Lahore Pakistan to talk about what is happening in the region.

From Israel to Kashmir: Occupations Learn From Each Other as Border War Looms w/ Shaniyat Turari
Here on Colonial Outcasts we are becoming accustomed to covering controversial and polarizing conflicts where no matter how balanced you try to be you’re gonna catch heat-rounds - Russia/Ukrain, Syria, and now Kashmir. I know many of you are not familiar with the situation in Kashmir and why It matters to you, but I’ll say this and this is my boiler plate perspective. Palestine has been occupied by Israel since 1948, Kashmir has been largely occupied by India since 1947. Both Supremacist ideologies. And since governments learn from each other, military officers and politicians in India’s command echelon are looking at the Annexation of the West Bank and are judging it more likely, since Israel has set a blatant precedent, that they can get away with something similar in Kashmir.

Reviving Irish Indigeneity and Anti-Colonialism with The Shan Vans
Checking off a critical bucket list item: Colonial Outcasts officially coronates its alliance with Irish resistance against colonialism and imperialism via an unapologetic scattershot harangue with Jake, lead the singer of The Shan Vans, a Belfast-based Irish-language rock band blending high-energy sound with a radical political message. Rooted in anti-imperialism and Irish resistance, their music champions decolonization, cultural revival, and international solidarity.
Released last month, their third and latest single The Shan Van, a powerful anti-genocide anthem, forms the centerpiece of Unite Against Genocide, their Ireland-Palestine solidarity project which involved over 100 artists and contributors worldwide.
Jake draws on themes of resistance, decolonization, and cultural memory, influenced by his upbringing in the early OOs in one of the most politically active communities in Ireland, Ballymurphy. Singing in Irish, Jake blends personal and political narratives, often weaving together themes of decolonization, Irish mythology, radical poetry, and contemporary global struggles.

Making Politics Your Entire Personality in the New World Order w/ Davidson Boswell
Make politics your entire personality.
I told y’all the new format would be one geopolitical episode, one social commentary episode, and a possible breaking news episode every week. This is the social commentary one and it is about making politics your entire personality in the face of fascism.

US-Israel: Breaking Down the Political Ties. They're Not What You Think
Check us out on patreon for exclusive content: https://www.patreon.com/c/ColonialOutcasts
Hey y’all welcome to or welcome back to Colonial Outcasts the anti-imperialist podcast that will try, hopefully with a degree of success, to convince you that it is not Israel itself, or its affiliated political lobbying groups such as AIPAC, that control and inform US government policy. Say rather it is the Neoliberal Capitalist system, which the average American toils under without hope, that uses Israel as a convenient patsy to enact policy, fund wars, and foster interventionism that it was already going to do in the first place.
Operational Breakdown - B2 Bombers Deployed to Indian Ocean/Pete Hegeth's Epic Debacle
I almost feel stupid talking about the idiocy of Signalgate.
We are going to be discussing the US Navy Vs. the Houthis, why the US strategy won’t work, and we’ll start with the massive Operational Security debacle that is called Signalgate, and what we can learn from it. Yes, Pete Hegseth our stalwart secretary of defense, is a complete idiot. We’re also going to be talking about how the US just deployed a wing of US stealth bombers to the Diego Garcia Airbase in the Indian Ocean - escalation or show of force?
Signalgate Exposed: Pro-Israel Media, War Plans & Zero Accountability
Repost from MintPress News:
The Press is already calling it Signalgate, harkening back to the infamous political scandal in 1972 under the Nixon administration. On Monday, March 24th the Atlantic broke the story that journalist Jeffery Goldberg had been added to a signal group chat with US national security leaders discussing impending war plans for aerial combat missions against Houthi leadership in Mid March of this year. Classified information was discussed on an open-source civilian messaging application. While Signal is used by military leaders around the world, according to Signal’s CEO, it is against the PEntagon’s operational security protocols. Using a Signal chat to share highly classified information and accidentally including a reporter on the discussion could raise the possibility of violations of federal laws such as the Espionage Act.It can be a crime to mishandle, misuse or abuse classified information, though it is unclear whether such provisions might have been breached in this case. However, the salient point here is that they were using an app with disappearing messages, a feature not available on secure governmental messaging systems where accountability is a priority. Join us tonight on State of Play to do a deep dive into this budding scandal, and what it means for both the administration and for Yemen.
The US and Israel Assault West Asia to Isolate Iran - The "Global War on Terror" Reignites
Hello and elcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that needs a vacation, but is unlikely to get one. Today we are going to be doing a round table of the conflicts arising in the West Asia which I am calling the Global War on Terror 2.0 - and we’re doing 2.0 because 1.0 only lasted twenty years, killed millions from Afghanistan to Lybia, and accomplished pretty much nothing. AQ is still around, the Taliban are still around, there are open air slave markets in Lybia and the Islamic State ideaology has spread its way across Africa in the Sahel. And yes, all the while you got poorer, less educated, and we want more of that.
Join us as we look at the violence of late-stage imperial power.
Trump Unmasked: The New Biden for Gaza and the U.S.

Sign and support Mahmoud here: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/demand-the-immediate-release-of-columbia-student-pro-palestine-advocate-mahmoud-khalil-from-dhs-detentionFollow Nerdeen here for updates: https://x.com/NerdeenKiswaniThis episode is about the disappearing and potential deportation of Mahmoud Khalil - Palestinian activist detained by ICE over Columbia University protests. President Trump has likened him to a terrorist sympathizer for saying such direct quotes as ““As a Palestinian student, I believe that the liberation of the Palestinian people and the Jewish people are intertwined and go hand-by-hand and you cannot achieve one without the other.” He told CNN last spring. We’re going to be talking to Nerdeen Kiswani - Palestinian-American activist and organizer. She is a co-founder and chair of Within Our Lifetime, a pro-Palestinian activist group in New York City, and Marie Adele - third year student at Barnard/Columbia and activist for Palestine who know Mahmoud personally.

Sectarian Violence Erupts in Syria: What to Know About the World's Most Complicated Battlespace
Emergency Sunday Episode: Hello and Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcasts that a lot of people are going to hate and no one is going to be happy and the pro-palestine movement will get refractured again because this is an emergency Sunday episode about Syria… probably the messiest battle space in existence with dozens of warring factions, literally every global and regional power has its fingers invested in this conflict, and there is propaganda coming from every side…
THIS WILL BE TAKEN DOWN: Being Deplatformed and Debanked in the Technofuedal Age w/ Comrade Workwear
It will be if insane if this totally reasonable interview gets taken down...
We are going to be focusing more on domestic issues today - your healthcare, your declining material conditions, and how both the democrats and republicans will come together to stamp down on any working class dissent.
To that end, we are joined by James from Comrade Workwear. He runs Comrade Workwear which recently got into hot water with nearly every major corporation and the NYPD for a deck of playing cards he designed in the wake of the assassination of Brian Thompson which featured the CEOs of prominent companies and information about their misdeeds.

The Democratic Comeback That Will Never Happen: An Epic 2hr Rant Against the DNC w/ I Am Blakeley
So what we are talking about today is the state of the Democratic Party and how much they love to lose. If y’all took a break from the news cycle over the weekend you may have missed the story broken by politico about this DNC operative retreat where a bunch of democratic “strategists” gathered at an east coast resort to talk about how to win mid terms in 2026 and to take the Whitehouse in 2028 by doing the exact same thing they’ve been doing since 2015….

Trump and Zelensky Showdown: Liberal Media and European Establishment in Free Fall
In the end, the shrieking chain-rattling ghost of Henry Kissinger is always right “It may be dangerous to be America enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.” He also said “America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests.” Ukrainians and to a lesser extent Europeans are figuring out what it means to be Kurdish, and they are spiraling.
Western Europeans, liberal elites and establishment figures are seeing the face the US presents to nations of the global south, and the truly shocking thing is they’re now getting the same treatment in a humiliating public way.
We are joined today by Nick from Revolutionary Blackout Network: https://x.com/SocialistMMA
EU and the Rise of Fascism: The Hard Right Takes Germany into Dangerous Territory
I Won’t be recording from this crappy internet location again. Also get ready for run-on sentences.
Anyways, hello and welcome to Colonial Outcasts - the anti-Imperialist podcast that that your problematic Uncle will be increasingly confused by… because we are going in pretty deep on this one, discussing the European Union and the rise of fascism in the modern Era! We’re going to be bringing in Ukraine, potential trade wars with Europe, Frau Genocide, aka Ursula Van Der Leyen, more sanctions on Russia, the militarization of Europe… fun times… but we’re mostly going to be focusing on the great Leader of Europe - Germany… Germany because no one fascists like my people. Round three - here we go!

Catastrophe in Gaza and What it Means for Medicine in the Post-Rules-Based Order w/ Dr. Mimi Syed
The Gaza ceasefire stands on the edge of a knife. This political and military reality brings back into focus, though it’s never gone away, the humanitarian situation in Gaza in the wake of the Israeli state policy of systematically dismantling medical infrastructure with the use of US weaponry and clumsily orchestrated direct action IDF raids on hospitals and hospital staff in the name of “finding Hamas.”
To that end, we are joined by Dr. Mimi Syed, a board-certified emergency medicine physician. She is an assistant clinical professor at University of Washington and Washington State University.
She is a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians.Dr.Syed served in Gaza from August 8 to September 5, 2024, and December 3 to December 31, 2024, at both al-Aqsa Hospital and Nasser Hospital.

Europe in Dissolution as New American Policy Rocks the EU, Perpetuates Conflict in Middle East
Hello and welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the Anti-imperialist podcast that has way too much crap to talk about and not enough time to do it. It is February 18th and we are seeing titanic policy shifts in Europe, and West Asia - East Asia as well, but we won’t have too much time for that as the Trump Administration takes a more aggressive diplomatic stance towards Taiwan Independence as the Island Nation, territory, whatever you consider it to be, explores $10bn US arms deal to secure Trump’s support. Trump being obsessed with countries paying their own defense budgets to his satisfaction. Anyways, today will be Lebanon, some developments in Syria, Palestine as Always, A brief post mortem on the Munich Security council that signals a landmark shift in European security architeure and a breaking of the trans Atlantic world, and the current peace talks in Riyadh between the US and Russia regarding the termination of the War in Ukraine. It’s a lot - and we a joined for our weekly geo-political round-up by Regular contributor Elina Xenophontos, no longer coming to us from Cyprus, instead the more inhospitable realm of Albion, specifically London.

Imperialism in Crisis: Gaza, The War on BRICS and Trump's Geopolitical Mayhem
This episode was structured off of the article "Imperialism in Crisis: Gaza, Trade Wars and Trump's Geopolitical Mayhem" by Elina Xenophontos, joining us tonight from London, England.
An unstable West Asia security situation has global ramifications and this talk about a voluntary mass exodus of Palestinians from Gaza is unworkable, stilly, and as detached from reality as anything else the United States has done in the Levant over the past 20 years. Why is this scheme doomed to fail: well, we are going to do a whole geopolitical and economic round-up from “the periphery to the metropole." Lets get into it...

The US Will "Own" Gaza: Understanding Trump's Publicity Stunt
We weren’t going to do an episode today. They take a lot of research and prep, but we felt that we couldn’t not do an episode because President Orange Blob (aka Donal Drumpf) has said some completely asinine things, which he always does, but this instance is about Gaza.
I spent a lot of last night talking to people who were rightly terrified by Trump’s remarks about the US occupying and controlling Gaza, but now is not the time to freak out - yet. So we are going to have a free-form conversation about it so allay some fears. Join us!
Trump and Musk Assail South Africa: How Elites Have Mobilized “Whiteness” Since the Colonial Era
"Whiteness” is being used as it always has been: to separate exploited working class white people from intersectional solidarity and serve as buffer between marginalized peoples and the Elites.
Today we are going to be talking about the new Trump administration and the driving force behind all their policies, its blitz of executive orders, the perverse need to control women’s bodies and their obsession with nativism - ie the policy of protecting the interests of native-born or established inhabitants against those of immigrants.
Now that American Nativism is extending to South Africa as President Trump Takes of the Cause of Elon Musk, child of South African Apartheid, who is upset that white Akfriaaners are being dispossessed of their lands (they’re really not) and threatens to cut funding to South Africa over an Issue that really has nothing to do with us. Just kidding, newsflash, Israel is involved.

Capitalizing on Fear: Terror Attacks, Chaos and the Surveillance State in 2025
Hello and welcome to a new year with Colonial Outcasts. It is 2025 and as I’ve been saying, if you loved 2024 you’re absolutely going to love 2025, and boy are we starting out with a bang. Literally. George Orwell’s 1984 warned of a future where big brother watches every move.

Exploiting Chaos: The US/Israel Gambit in Syria and the Wider Region Amidst Geopolitical Reshuffling
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.

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

Hezbollah Accepts Ceasefire From a Position of Strength W/ Ghadi Francis and Batool Subeiti
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?
IDF on the Brink: Is the Ceasefire in Lebanon a Strategic Blunder? How Will it Impact Gaza?
Is the ceasefire in Lebanon a strategic blunder for the Axis? Who benefits more from breathing room to rearm and replenish? Also Trump is coming into office. Join us tonight for a deep dive into this developing story.

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.

Hooligan Beatdown in Amsterdam: The Media's Threefold Reason For Covering For Zionist Mobs

Elite Panic: Hurricane Helene, Rednecks and Palestine
Jason Higgins / IG higginsj_director_i_p_c Check Us Out on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcasts What does Palestine, Hurricane Helene, and rednecks have to do with each other? They all relate to elite panic and the empire’s desire to keep everybody in desperation, suppression, oppression and in separation of each other’s struggle. This episode aspires to merge heartland America with the global war against genocide, neocolonialism, racism and empire. Jason Higgins, a prepper, patriot, constitutionalist and relief effort volunteer from Louisiana expresses his deep ponderings on the suffering of the Palestinians under Israel’s tyrannical boot, relates it to the struggle of Americans under D.C.’s fascist boot, describes his experience in helping with the relief efforts in the hardest hit areas of Appalachia, the incompetence of the federal government when it comes to anything but war, Federal personnel confiscating aid and supplies from volunteers seeking to help isolated families, and the odd presence of security contractors seemingly out of place in a disaster zone. We also discuss the need for transcultural solidarity in the fight for liberation as the ultimate weapon in spooking the elites to panic harder.

"This is not a war" - Former Green Beret Discusses Combat Operations in West Bank/Gaza
Check us out on Patreon for exclusive content: https://www.patreon.com/c/ColonialOutcasts Here is my interview on State of Play for Mint Press News - we discuss how these ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza, The West Bank, and Southern Lebanon do not constitute the waging of War with former Special Forces operator and Green Beret, Alan Shebaro, who has recently returned from the occupied West Bank.
It is clear that the tactics employed by the IDF are not meant to defeat resistance forces, since the resistance will never cease to exist. This “war,” has been from the start an opportunity to seize land, displace people, destroy infrastructure, all under the political cover of the United States and its western allies.
The failure to implement moral consistency when it comes to foreign policy and the blithe disregard for the rules-based-order will have long-term ramifications for the United States and Israel. The world is a less safe place after a year of unmitigated violence. All of those who apologize for the genocide and use the conduct of US and coalition forces during the “Global War on Terror” to justify the actions of the IDF now are being intellectually dishonest.
This is not a war. Join us tonight for a conversation between two US special operations veterans about the conduct of Israeli Forces, their failure to achieve tactical and operational objectives, and what this headless violence means for the conduct of modern warfare going forward.

Thee Jerusalem Gangster - The Life Story of Emad U. Deen
Prior to October 7th, the only bulwark against Israel’s complete strangle of the narrative in America’s culture was the Black liberation movement and the stories of American Palestinians. The story behind every Palestinian who immigrated to the US is often a story of tragedy and resourcefulness. What makes Emad’s life story so unique and powerful is that it connects the struggles of American street life with the struggles of Palestinian oppression by the Zionist state through ironic parallels. Emad was born in Jerusalem a year before the ‘67 War to a strong mother of faith, a father who was a resistance fighter abused and tortured by Israel and in turn became abusive to his family. After immigrating to the United States, Emad gets involved in the notorious gang life of Chicago, is incarcerated into a brutal prison system and finds Islam. Emad U Deen is harnessing the wisdom he has accumulated from his tumultuous but fascinating life as a Palestinian immigrant and Chicago Saint to fight for his people facing extermination and ethnic cleansing and helping young kids find purpose in a world deprived of integrity and infested with top-down hypocrisy. We discuss the cycle of abuse, how the legacy of trauma is imposed on the innocent from the abused, making the abused the abuser and the importance of breaking that cycle. We also dive into the glory of Islam’s legacy throughout the world and the coming revolution which appears to be on the horizon in Muslim nations who are under regimes corrupted by Western empire.

Christian Zionism vs Jewish Zionism w/ Bad Hasbara's Matt Lieb
Bad Hasbara's Matt Lieb and Mark Wayne decompress from the days of their former Zionism while Greg Stoker struggles to digest the insanity of the ideology. Through a hilarious reliving free-fall dive into memory lane, Matt and Mark explore each other's journeys out of the propaganda that often permeates Christian and Jewish communities and reflect on cultural tensions common between Israeli Jews and American Jews.
We compare and contrast the key differences between evangelical Zionism and Jewish Zionism while also exploring the deep psychological factors behind philosemitism in Christian communities which Mark fell captive of before falling in love with Palestine and escaping evangelical ideologies equally harmful to Palestinians and Jews.
Matt Lieb is the hilarious co-host of Bad Hasbara. Follow them via the links below:

American Citizen Killed in West Bank by IOF Forces Sept. 6th: A Call To Action
It's terrible that the world (The Collective West) values some lives over others, but we are waging an Information War to end the violence in Palestine and must use what levers we can. At this time, the family of the activist has requested privacy as they mourn their loss. Their wish to grieve in peace should be respected by all, as they navigate this tragic and difficult situation.
During the weekly demonstration in Beita, Palestine, on the morning of September 6th, 2024, the Israeli army intentionally shot and killed an international human rights activist with the International Solidarity Movement. The demonstration, which primarily involved men and children praying, was met with force from the Israeli army stationed on a hill.
The volunteer died shortly after being transported to a local hospital in Nablus.

3 Weeks in Gaza as a Doctor - Dr. Mohammad Abdelfattah
Dr. Mohammad Abdelfattah, an American Palestinian critical care physician in Los Angeles, describes his experience volunteering at the European Gaza Hospital. He describes the unfathomable conditions, injuries, heart wrenching suffering of families, the cruelty of Israel's boot on the necks of Gaza in even the smallest facets of life, but even more important: the superhuman strength, faith and resilience of Gaza's native doctors able to witness such horror daily and maintain a personal connection with every single patient they treat. Dr. Abdelfattah describes his journey from the airport in Egypt through the Sinai, the harassment and bureaucracy from Egyptian authorities as an institutionalized tactic of discouraging Western aid to Gaza and the life-altering experience of walking through an ICU in Gaza that would horrify any medical worker.

He actually texted me last night “Greg, I was involved in Haditha and know of the cover up. Those photos are burned into my memory.” So hopefully that will be part two, but no promises.
Media Crackdown as Imperialists Prepare for 3-Front War
Check us out on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcasts Hello and welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that your Uncle will hate. Today we are going to be talking about media bubbles, censorship, the cancer that is the word “terrorist,” and the prelude to the next war. I am Joined by series regular Elina Xenophontos and we are going to dive right into it.
First of all, my instagram account has been blocked to non-followers, Elina has lost her original followers, but what’s even worse for journalism at Large is that there is a multi-platform campaign to de-platform The Cradle Media - a "journalist-driven news outlet that is free, unowned, and covers the geopolitics of West Asia from within."
Save West Bank... and US Politics: with Wally Rashid
Because of July’s busy schedule at Colonial Outcasts, we are only now releasing a month-old episode with Wally Rashid, Palestinian American, entrepreneur and social media influencer. Recorded on July 11th, Wally relays the continuing horrors on his family village of Burin as well as other West Bank villages. The violent pogroms which took place on the 4th of July as Americans enjoyed their celebration of false independence are just an example of many that have defined reality for Palestinians struggling to endure under the brutal occupation. As the violent Israeli settlements, fueled by cultish belief systems of religious supremacy and blood lust against the inhabitants of West Bank villages rooted in the landscape for thousands of years, Wally has been working within the United States political structure to get these settlements sanctioned. We discuss the complexity of this work that Wally has taken on as well as the experience of his family’s village during these violent raid by former IDF settlers. Wally also discusses the value of long-term strategies through US politics and finding political avenues outside the box of ideology. While Wally and Mark hold different opinions regarding political strategy and direction, the urgency for any and all avenues in the fight for Palestine’s liberation from the everyday horrors of genocide, settler violence and ethnic cleansing is what drives the comradery within the movement as exemplified with Wally’s critical voice being platformed a third time on Colonial Outcasts.
The DNC Will Be Violent: 1968 Protests and Now
I’m not really sure what the point of the DNC is this year since the only choice we have is Pro-Weapons to Israel, pro-cop city, pro-militarized border, pro-prison Kamala Harris. But the DNC is going to be held as a formality to confirm Kamala as the candidate. Because, hell yeah, Democracy for the win.
While we on colonial outcasts would never tell you who to vote for, if you say you can’t protest Harris/Wolz and demand action against the war machine and the police state for fear of Trump, you’ve last the plot. You will most likely be losing your freedom of speech, assembly, and your right to bodily autonomy eventually either way.
Kursk Offensive: Ukraine's High-Stakes Gamble for Diplomatic Leverage
Seven days ago the Ukrainian Army (AFU) initiated a surprise counter-offensive into the Russian region of Kursk along the northern border of Ukraine and initially captured over 350 square kilometers of territory, in what is the largest regional gain since the Kharkiv offensive nearly two years ago. It's going to be a blunder. The AFU is incredibly unlikely to achieve any of their strategic goals...
The Black Panthers and Revolution - With professor of history - Dr. Butch Ware
https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcasts As the genocide in Gaza rages on, the specter of a large scale regional kinetic conflict with millions of lives at stake looms over our heads and Israel beats the drums of war with Washington dancing to it, a question is starting to surface in many our conversations: are we entering WWIII? This is the prologue for our multipart series on revolution with history professor, Dr. Butch Ware. Follow Professor Butch Ware on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/butchware/ We’ve had plenty of episodes on the military dynamics and postering in this region, the dangerous nature of Israel’s provocations poised to drag the United States into an all out war with Iran, Hezbollah, and Yemen that could lead us into a world war with China and Russia, but in this episode we propose an alternative possibility: WWIII gets canceled due to a scheduling conflict with a world wide revolution. We discuss the tangibility of revolution, why they fail, why they succeed, how it can be done right, why the Black Panthers are so important to the topic, how Islam plays an important part of global revolution, and most importantly: why we should be prioritizing Indigenous histories and social organization as a political direction as opposed to forms of governments birthed from white supremacy. We aim for this series to serve as a toolkit for potential leaders to use in forming their own ideas on getting this revolution popped off like a smoke grenade. #icj #antiimperialism #decolonize #ceasefire #uspolitics #israelhamaswar #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #breakingnews #internationalnews #warzoneclips #veteran #politicalnews #palestina #politics #political #internationalrelations #internationallaw #colonialoutcasts #counterterrorism #globalsecurity #iran #globalsecurity #ww3 #worldwar3 #middleeast #trump #internationalnews #warzoneclips #veteran #politicalnews #palestina #politics #political #internationalrelations #internationallaw #colonialoutcasts #counterterrorism #globalsecurity
Inevitable Escalation: Nuclear Stealth Bomber Lands in Qatar - Operational Breakdown Aug. 6th
Check us out on Patreon for Exclusive Content: https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcastsIt is currently Monday night/Tuesday morning August 5th/6th and this is a speed post episode because this news cycle has been insane over the past few days. White nationalist riots in London, a contentious election in Venezuela, an apparent overthrow, at least temporarily, of the Bangladeshi Government, and the Iran/Israel tensions are escalating to a boiling point where a wider conflict that could engulf the region is more likely now than ever and this episode can become irrelevant at any moment.
Inside Gaza with Dr. Altalla, surgeon at Al-Aqsa Hospital
This is our second interview with Dr. Altalla, surgeon at the last fully functional hospital in Gaza, Al-Aqsa, which suffered an airstrike yesterday from the Israeli regime in their courtyard, killing 5+ and maiming others. This was recorded weeks ago following the massacre at Al-Mawasi, the victims from which Dr. Altalla treated. So some of the information is dated but the overall value of the information concerning the medical situation in Gaza is beyond relevant. The internet connection was very spotty at best and required hours of editing to make it viewable. Dr. Altalla also has to be mindful of potential drone strikes on his location as the Israeli regime actively hunts medical staff to further terrorize their resilient people of Gaza. We discuss the dire shortage of medical supplies, the impending Polio pandemic poised to sweep the population of Gaza, the improvisation and bravery by medical staff to make due with what little resources they have to save lives, and some positive moments in the midst of this hell. A teaching assistant at The Faculty of Medicine at Al Azhar University in Cairo and a medical director of Al Amal Health Center. Dr. Altalla wakes up every day to manage the critical task as surgeon for the Surgery Department of Al Aqsa Hospital. Dr. Altalla had the misfortune of witnessing one of the worst surges of patients as a result of the Al Nussiret Massacre which resulted in 270 + murdered and over 700 severely injured. In defiance of the nightmarish and unsafe conditions weaponized to drive medical staff out of Gaza, Dr. Altalla refuses to evacuate until there is a permanent ceasefire. Dr. Altalla is trying to raise money for his Master’s in the UK.

Kill Lists and Escalation: What Actually Happened to Ismail Haniyeh?
/ colonialoutcasts So Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran according the IRGC. Apparently Hamas has confirmed this saying that he "died as a result of a treacherous Zionist raid on his residence in Tehran." A hollow victory, at best. The entire axis of resistance is bigger than any one leader, and the importance of this will be overstated by Israel and the western media. So yeah, a targeted political assassination in sovereign Iranian territory while they were actively engaged in ceasefire negotiations with Hamas’s political wing, lead by Haniyeh. Israel is a short-circuiting killing machine that only exports violence and the tools of repression.

Historic Blow to Israel and the West: World Court Destroys the Occupation's Narrative
So what happened on Friday? Well, THE ICJ RULING CONFIRMS WHAT PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR 57 YEARS: Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal, a form of apartheid, and must end, says the U.N.’s high court at The Hague. While this is hopeful, bear in mind that the ruling does little to immediately change the lived reality for Palestinians.

Thinking out loud with Mindwarz
In light of the genocide of the Palestinians and unrelenting horrific developments threatening the lives of millions via a larger regional conflict, we broke from tradition in setting a specific topic of discussion to allow a very free form, bro-dad conversation with a social media comrade, Pete, from the TikTok Live “glory days”. And by “glory days”, we mean a few months when cyber bullying Zionists was at its apex. No academic, geopolitical or refined analysis, just venting about the state of affairs and thinking out loud in typical East Coast/West Coast dad fashion. Pete hosts the TikTok live channel, Mindwarz, (@mindwarz) which he uses to bring in different perspectives and help those without an extensive knowledge base on Palestine understand the basic human elements surrounding the plight of Palestinians, the deception of world powers and the actions required of humanity as a whole to put an end to horror that is empire. This conversation, if nothing else, is a therapeutic ASMR session expressed in unfiltered dialogue on a range of topics including, but not limited to: the horror of the genocide, the hypocrisy of the west, “conspiracy theories”, Islam, Radical Islam, racism, solidarity with Palestine in the Latino community, anti-Semitism, revolution and every topic that will make a white liberal cringe. #jre #jreclips #politics #news #worldnews #uspolitics #war #veteran #latino #ww3 #wwiii #dads #war #podcast #apocalypse #america #4thofjuly #independenceday
Flashpoint Lebanon: Word on the Street from 2006 and Now
https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcasts So, The Pentagon has warned Israel against any "miscalculation" along its northern border with Lebanon, as fighting between the Israel Defense Forces and Hezbollah militia continues and Israeli leaders threaten to launch a full-scale cross-frontier incursion. But what what is the word on the street in Southern Lebanon? What is not being communicated by the Legacy Media? To answer those questions we have brought on two Lebanese dudes to talk about it. Here are their socials: Assad, Host of Habibi House Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@UCkJOwGuxa0QnZJYXp9bziVQ https://www.instagram.com/habibihousepodcast/ Mr. Dizaster: https://www.instagram.com/mrdizaster/
Inside Gaza - Dr. Mohammed Altalla of Gaza’s last functioning hospital, al-Aqsa
Special thanks for the audio mastering done by former Gaza resident Mohammed “MoKu” Kutkut (ig @mokutkut) to bring it to some level of clarity. Words cannot describe the horrific state of Gaza’s healthcare system (if it can be described as such) or the point of view of medical personnel taking on the harrowing task of saving as many lives as feasibly possible under a genocidal siege, but Dr. Mohammed Altalla does his best to do so as one of the few doctors still alive or in the capacity to take on such a burden in Gaza’s only fully functioning hospital, Al Aqsa. A teaching assistant at The Faculty of Medicine at Al Azhar University in Cairo and a medical director of Al Amal Health Center. Dr. Altalla wakes up every day to manage the critical task as surgeon for the Surgery Department of Al Aqsa Hospital. Dr. Altalla had the misfortune of witnessing one of the worst surges of patients as a result of the Al Nussiret Massacre which resulted in 270 + murdered and over 700 severely injured. In defiance of the nightmarish and unsafe conditions weaponized to drive medical staff out of Gaza, Dr. Altalla refuses to evacuate until there is a permanent ceasefire. As electricity is in obvious scarcity, the internet coverage being extremely undependable, a couple bombs being dropped in the background when he was recording and a drone loitering overhead the entire time, the interview had over a dozen interruptions with very poor quality of audio and video capture, so editing the final result only yielded so much. Yet despite the technical nightmare of interviewing anybody within the kill box of Gaza, the good doctor was able to convey the plight of medical workers throughout the strip, the aftermath of the Al Nussiret Massacre, the grave nature of the IDF’s sadism towards medical staff and patients at Al Shifa hospital as a campaign of democide, the more probable estimate of Gaza's casualties being North of 50,000 murdered, a personal story of a specific patient who left a permanent imprint on his heart, and the faith that drives most of Gaza’s medical staff into hell’s gates for the sake of any innocent lives they may manage to preserve.

Cold World War III? Global Power Shift as Israel/Ukraine/Taiwan Escalates
We're on Patreon now if you want extra content: https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcasts So, the situation in Southern Lebanon and Northern Israel is escalating and Cyprus is getting dragged in. I personally don’t think a wider war will kick off this weekend, but Israel is no longer a rational actor. We’ve already talked about what that will look like if it happens in a previous episode so today we’re going to try something different. Let's start geopolitically micro and go macro. We’ll begin with this Israel/Hezbollah situation and bring Cyprus into it. We’ll use that as a demonstration of the US's political quagmire, expand and draw parallels to Ukraine which will most likely end in a frozen conflict and a Russian "ugly victory," then talk about the overall loss of US soft power to BRICS and discuss, if we have time, Saudi getting off the Petro Dollar.

Complicit in All War Crimes - US Surveillance and Intelligence Above Gaza
*We re-uploaded this episode with better audio thanks to Mohammed Kutkut, a Palestinian sound engineer from Gaza.*
In this Episode I’m joined by another veteran from the special operations community - a former US Airforce Combat Controller - to talk about US complicity in Israel’s disastrous campaign in Gaza from the perspective that the US Military, Three Letter Agencies, and perforce the Biden Administration know exactly what is happening on the ground. No investigations necessary. And we keep supporting them with money, weapons and intelligence support regardless of this incontrovertible fact. The blowback from the disastrous and ultimately self-destructive “hostage rescue” mission Israel launched this past Saturday, June 9th, is still coming in. There is a question of how much assistance the United States rendered the IDF in this operation - some wild and unsubstantiated rumors of US boots on the ground. There is absolutely no evidence of this, some IDF soldiers have American accents, granted, but that TikTok battlefield rumor is just that. IT’s also pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, because United States complicity in this massacre in particular and larger campaign of ethnic cleansing/Genocide in general, is both assured and inescapable.
Israel's Self-Destructive Hostage Rescue Operation/Massacre - June 10th
This weekend, according to the NYT - Israel Rescues Four hostages in a hostage in military operation - This is a fact, it’s in the active voice and the hostages are numbered. Then “Gaza officials Say Scores are killed.” Which is presented as hearsay, in the passive voice and they victims are not numbered. This is pretty egregious. The role of corporate and partisan media in the United States is not to inform but to manufacture consent for the whims of the ruling and political class. IT’s becoming apparent that we are some of the most heavily propagandized people on Earth. The easiest way to see that is to note how many think we're the good guys. I argue that The Hostage Rescue Operation conducted early Saturday morning will have far-reaching unintended consequences.
Chaos in Israel as US Staying Power Reaches Its Limits - June 7th/8th
So Netanyahu and his cabinet appear to have decided, or at least to be strongly entertaining the idea that they will attack Southern Lebanon. We are talking about an actual invasion with the presumed objective, if they have any defined objectives, of pushing Hezbollah back to the Litani River.
What could possibly go wrong? In short, just about everything imaginable. In this episode we take this from a broader geopolitical standpoint which examines the challenge to US staying power in the context of the War in Ukraine, and the escalation over Taiwan.

The Joint Chiefs Oppose the Partitioning of Palestine - 1947 Memo To President Truman Revealed
Have you Ever Heard that Israel is the West’s greatest strategic ally in the Middle East? Well, we’re going to talk about how that is blazingly untrue and we’re going all the way back to 1947 to do it. Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, your semi-friendly neighborhood anti-Imperialist podcast, and hot-darn it! We just pulled some Top Secret documents from the depths of the national archives, declassified but still unseen, from 1947, in which the Joint Chiefs of Staff advised then president Harry Truman that partitioning Palestine and recognizing the state of Israel will screw US global interests over in the long run. And we wanted to highlight these memos, written by guys who your Dad would probably credit with winning World War II, in this episode because aren’t y’all absolutely sick of hearing ancient grey-haired politicians gas on about how Israel is America’s most important strategic ally in the Middle East? We are. Check us out on patreon for extra content!
Game Over For Netanyahu - Israel Isolated as US Compels Ceasefire
Welcome to Colonial Outcasts. This a ceasefire-related episode. It is currently Sunday June 2nd. Things are going to move fast so we’re going to keep it short-ish and jump right in. Elina Xenophontos, regular political analyst calling in from Cyprus, is here with us today. We’re going to talk about the Biden ceasefire proposal, Obama’s passive-voiced endorsement of said proposal, Netanyahu’s seeming rejection of said proposal, and now soft-floated watercolor talk that the Israeli government might actually accept it. At 6:30 am Central Daylight Time NBC published that “An aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had agreed to the framework for President Joe Biden’s plan to bring an end to the war in Gaza, though he said it was “not a good deal.” Biden announced Friday that Israel had proposed a three-part plan that would ultimately lead to a complete cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, as well as the release of all hostages who have been held there for the last eight months. It’s “time for this war to end,” Biden said. It wasn’t a plan that Israel proposed, but we’ll get into that.
The Mob-ssad and Israel's Ham-Fisted Attempt to Coerce the ICC
We will be discussing how Israel and the Mossad, excuse me - the Mob-ssad - have been spying on the international criminal court and threatening South African Ministers, but not in a sophisticated spy-agency James Bond villain type way. I’d say it was a mob way, like “I’ll make the South African Foreign Minister an offer she can’t refuse.” But according to these articles by the Guardian, Local Call, and +972 - the publications that broke this story - I’d say that Israeli conduct would actually be an insult to the mob.
Israel Strikes Refugee Camp in Rafah and Prepares to Designate UNRWA a Terrorist Organization
Late Sunday night Israel carried out an airstrike on a refugee camp in southwest Gaza which has lead to the death of at least 45 Palestinians with at least 3x that in wounded, producing graphic images of non-contained tent fires and literally a decapitated toddler. The tent encampment was set alight - it being designed to house internally displaced Palestinian civilians. This is a developing situation. Israel has claimed responsibility for a strike in this area, which is, based on obvious battle damage assessments - twisted rebar, shattered concrete, splintered metal - the cause of this destruction. The IDF is of course looking in to it. This is separate from an event that happened earlier Sunday - Hamas shooting rockets out of Gaza into central Israel. Eight rockets, reportedly shot out of southern Gaza, East Rafah in a separate location from the camp. Still waiting for confirmation on where those rockets were actually shot from, but it’s a separate incident, at least militarily, from this refugee airstrike. More on that in a bit. The Strike took place in the Tel-Al Sultan Refugee camp in West Rafah. So just to be clear, the Tel-Al Sultan neighborhood is not part of the IDF’s new designated safe-zone, which by now we know doesn’t exist and can’t accommodate all the million plus displaced Palestinians, but this neighborhood also wasn’t on the evacuation list. The area where the strike took place was actually a designated stafezone as of two weeks ago. More on that as well. The IDF says they are aware of a fire that was started because of this strike and several civilians were harmed. The incident is under review. They assert that the targets of this strike were two senior Hamas commanders responsible for organizing resistance efforts in west bank. Also we’ll get into that because it makes no sense that West Bank operations would be coordinated through Gaza as opposed to Jordan or Syria. So that’s dumb on a very profound level. Hamas says they hold the US president and administration fully responsible for this massacre, the PA accuses the Israelis of deliberately targeting the tents. Israel will investigate, the US will say they’re waiting for the results of that investigation and that all civilian deaths are bad. Also, The Knesset is set to vote to designate Unwrap as a terrorist organization, and Egyptian and Israeli forces exchanged gunfire at the Rafah border crossing. One person is killed.
Project Gaza 2035, The War in Ukraine, and Taiwan: The West vs. The Rest
In this new episode of Colonial Outcasts we to map out, and draw connections in a very basic way between two conflicts (Gaza/Ukraine) and a potential armed flashpoint (Taiwan), because, as people have begun to realize since October 7th, it’s all connected, man. Not in a conspiracy sort of way, but in a very run-of-the-mill Imperialist way - the most basic definition of which is the wikipedia one, which for our purposes is more than acceptable. Imperialism is the practice, theory or attitude of maintaining or extending power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism, employing both hard power and soft power. Imperialism focuses on establishing or maintaining hegemony and a more or less formal empire. Think of Hard power as military force and proxy wars, and soft power as diplomatic and economic pressure like treaties, sanctions etc. So, the US/Europe is fighting a proxy war in Ukraine in order to weaken Russia, which has spectacularly backfired. We are funding a disastrous campaign of genocide in Gaza which is Isolating both Israel and by extension the United States from the international community, and now the US is stoking tensions with China over Taiwan, which could turn into a military flashpoint. We are seeing an Empire in decline. It seems like US politicians still believe that America has the same staying power and power projection that we had in the early 90’s. But the working class is being depleted, rising levels of non-living wages and poverty are pervasive. We can’t afford another conflict, but the question is - can the American People people be deceived into fighting another war? #warinukraine #warinukraine2024 #taiwannews #chinataiwan #chinataiwanconflict #israelpalestinenewsupdates #israelhamaswar #militaryindustrialcomplex #icj #antiimperialism #decolonize #ceasefire #uspolitics #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #breakingnews #internationalnews #warzoneclips #veteran #politicalnews #palestina #politics #political #internationalrelations #internationallaw #colonialoutcasts #counterterrorism #globalsecurity
ICC Arrest Warrants and the Decline of Rules-Based Order
The ICC is a Western institution that has often been used to advance Western foreign policy objectives, such as the issuing of an arrest warrant against the President of Russia, premised on unsubstantiated and limited evidence. The impact of such a decision is thus politically emblematic as a Western institution, after 7 months of a genocide and the most gruesome war we have seen this century, has been coerced to issue arrest warrants against a key Western ally. The arrest warrant does three things: 1) It is a futile attempt to salvage the declining reputation of the Western "international rules-based order." 2) Undermines the current Israeli establishment. 3) Exhibits the mounting tensions between Israel and the U.S. The fact that an arrest warrant has now been issued against senior Israeli officials, alongside the ongoing ICJ trial, places all the more pressure on the U.S and its unwavering support for Israel. It further highlights the U.S's desire to get rid of Netanyahu and as such, to revamp Israel's image by placing a new "moderate" political regime in power.

The New Israeli Civil War: The US Choice Between Israel and the UN
The New Israeli Civil War: Secular Liberal Israelis vs. Right-Wing Religious Judeans
Will the Israeli State Survive to Celebrate 100 years? So it is currently May 14th, Israel’s Independence Day. And there’s a whole mess of contention about its long-term, existential survival. Will domestic fury and fierce civil strife cumber all the parts of Israel Proper? Israel does have a polarizing civil unrest problem on its hands, and statistics like “60 percent of Israelis believe the IDF isn’t using enough force in Gaza” give us outsiders that mistaken impression that Israeli society is a monolithic violent colonial entity, instead of a multipolar violent colonial entity that is incidentally experiencing a period of unprecedented socio-cultural fragmentation. So... eventual civil war? This is Part 1.

Pomona Divest Apartheid - Pomona College protestors setting the tone for Southern California Activism
With a long history of activism, Pomona College students live up to their reputation of never backing down from mobilizing against oppression. We conducted a brief interview with a PR spokesperson for the Pomona Divest Apartheid, a resilient on-campus pro-Palestinian movement that has only grown more determined and larger in student numbers and support despite the administration's heavy handed initial approach against its own students (and traditions) using local law enforcement as its mercenaries.

Mounting Israel/US Tensions Over Rafah Assault, ICC Rumors, and Egypt's Predicament: May 8th
On this episode of our coverage and analysis of Israel's Rafah assault, we examine the geo-political factors influencing the changing US policy towards Israel and the mounting international pressure to halt this misguided military action. We are joined today by returning geo-political analyst, Elina Xenophontos. https://www.instagram.com/elina_linax/ #israelpalestineconflict #ceasefire #decolonize #antiimperialism #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #israelhamaswar #counterterrorism #militaryindustrialcomplex #militaryintelligence #militaryintervention #uspolitics #bidenvstrump #independentjournalism #militaryhistory #veteran #veteransforpeace #egypt #icc #icj #ihl
Israel's Assault on Rafah, The Met Gala, and Egyptian Complicity - Operational Breakdown: May 7th
Now, Three months ago I said the Rafah assault probably wouldn’t happen. It’s operationally impossible, Israel has no achievable goals, the resistance is still active in the north, but sometimes I forget that every decision Israel makes is in its own worst interest and its only agenda is genocide and ethnic cleansing at all costs. Its absolute insanity, but let’s breakdown the major developments and what they mean going forward.

Campus Protests, The Imperial Boomerang, and a Lesson in State Violence: Episode 21
Pro-Palestine student protests have flared up across the country in conjunction with campus and police crackdowns, with many students learning that their universities are essentially collegiate hedge funds. They demand divestment from Israel. The level of state violence they have endured at the hands of police has not been seen since the Vietnam Backlash. In this Episode we discuss the Imperial Boomerang, or the thesis that governments that develop repressive techniques to control colonial territories will eventually deploy those same techniques domestically against their own citizens. Our struggles are connected, keep pushing.

Why Does Iran Not Want to Escalate? A Discussion on BRICS and Belt and Road: Episode 18
Last night Israel launched its response to Iran, and as anticipated, in the words of National Security Minister Ben Gvir “It was Weak.” Israel and the collective West’s non-0existent response to Iran, as well as Iran’s master class deterrence policy, clearly exhibits the historic proportions of the global re-alignment of power that is occurring. After Decades of of provoking Iran via copious assassinations against key members of it military and scientific communities, Iran’s calculated response on the 14th of April marks the rising power of the BRICS Bloc, and the slow but inevitable demise of Western hegemony. Once Again, the role of China and Russia in this historical shift cannot be understated. 2024 shall be the year that defines our collective futures. Thanks Elina for writing this awesome description. And to better understand the dynamics of that future, join us on Colonial Outcasts to discuss what is BRICS, China’s Belt and Road Initiative, and how these are influencing Iran’s deterrence policy and the West’s floundering with this Mumbai to Europe New Silk Road project that’s supposedly supposed to run through Gaza.

Germany's Crackdown on Pro-Palestine Dissent and It's Symbolic Importance - Episode 19: Helen Fares
Nobody fascists like my people. In this episode we focus on Germany as American college campuses erupt in protest because of its symbolic importance. Germany has a lot of "sins of the father" dynamics going on which places it ideologically in support of Israel unconditionally. The central question is if this authoritarian crackdown can ever be checked. We have invited Helen Fares, a Syrian/German journalist (or Syrian living in Germany) on to discuss this shocking intractability of the German Government and people.

Iran Has Changed How the Shadow Wars Game is Played - Operational Breakdown: April 16th
The ghost wars for regional influence in the Gulf and the Levant between Israel and the US, Russia and Iran, continue but the long-established status quo has changed. In this episode of Operational Breakdown, we look at Iran's telegraphed yet effective and measured response to Israel's bombing of its Consulate in Damascus. We also talk about the logic of Deterrance, which is an important pillar of geo-political analysis. #israelpalestineconflict #ceasefire #decolonize #antiimperialism #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #israelhamaswar #counterterrorism #militaryindustrialcomplex #militaryintelligence #militaryintervention #uspolitics #bidenvstrump #independentjournalism #militaryhistory #veteran #veteransforpeace

Israeli Strike on Damascus Consulate and the Iranian Response: Operational Breakdown, April 10th
On April 1st, Israel took the unprecedented action of leveling an Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria. Embassies and diplomatic buildings have historically enjoyed international protection since they are recognized as sovereign territory. So, how will Iran respond to this attack on its own soil? They are being calculated, and not rushing a hasty response. Here we break it down through the lens of a very irresponsible article in Time Magazine. #israelpalestineconflict #ceasefire #decolonize #antiimperialism #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #israelhamaswar #counterterrorism #militaryindustrialcomplex #militaryintelligence #militaryintervention #uspolitics #bidenvstrump #independentjournalism #militaryhistory #veteran #veteransforpeace

Christian Zionism and the Red Heifer Apocalypse Sacrifice this April - Episode 15
While AIPAC is a significant force in United States politics, many Christian Evangelical politicians would still support Israel unconditionally no matter its crimes. In this episode we plumb the thorny depths of Evangelical End-Times Prophecy, which dominates the lives of over 100 million Americans. We invite you to listen, as you cannot understand the American political landscape without taking these very reasonable people into account...
Islamophobia - a discursive dive with Doctor O'Mara and guest, Episode 14: Part II
Continuation of a discursive and chaotic marathon of academic discourse with the Doc and an anonymous guest who requested to remain mostly as an occasional interactive listener . We invited a personal friend of Mark - Palestinian American Muslim mom, Rashy, who is incidentally also a student of O'Mara's lives. Recorded on Sunday, March 24th during the holy month of Ramadan, the Jewish holiday of Purim and Palm Sunday, 3 holidays of the 3 Abrahamic faiths. We didn't cover nearly the amount of territory as we intended, so this was more of an unstructured approach to the topic that leads us down some detours in sociology, human psychology, and personal experiences. https://www.youtube.com/@OfficeHourswiththeMadProfessor Also follow him on all of his social media outlets: https://twitter.com/LiamOMaraIV https://www.instagram.com/liamomaraiv https://www.tiktok.com/@liamomaraiv #ceasefire #netanyahu #uspolitics #middleeast #middleeastnews #palestina #foreignaffairs #history #globalaffairs #militaryhistory #levantine #mediacriticism #antiimperialism #decolonize #humanrights #israelpalestineconflict #israelhamaswar #politicaldiscussion #militaryindustrialcomplex

Three US Military Veterans - A former US Army Ranger, a Field Artillery Officer, and an Intelligence Officer walk into a podcast to discuss IDF targeting, government corruption, and interpretations of the word "Terrorist."

Temporary Aid Port and the Importance of Cyprus to Western Policy - Episode 10: Elina Xenophontos
The construction of this "Aid Port" on the shore of Gaza is a very transparent attempt to entrench and exploit Western energy interests in the Gaza marine basin. In this episode we discuss the strategic importance of Cyprus, an Island with its own colonial struggle, within the context of the ongoing catastrophe in Palestine. We are joined today by: Elina Xenophontos, an International Law and Globalisation specialist.

Episode 8: Doctor Liam O'Mara - Zionism and Antisemitism, the Definitive Deep Dive. Pt. 2.
We are still seeing a problematic conflation of Jewishness and Zionism. We need to resist and challenge this at every turn because it only fuels Israeli militancy and lends credence to its claims of existential threat. The following exhaustive conversation strives for this nuance. Part 2: is all about the history and various forms of antisemitism and why it's vital to the liberation of Palestine to keep it out of the movement and foster cooperation between Jews and Palestinians to end this occupation and pursue freedom and justice for Palestine.

Episode 4: Jenan Matari - On Israeli Protests, Resistance, and White Liberalism
On this Episode we discuss the anti-Netanyahu Protests in Tel-Aviv, the dissonance of the colonizing mentality, and the "allyship" of Liberals. We again get into to the self-serving narrative of Neoliberals as an expression of supremacy in the latter third of the episode.

Operational Breakdown Feb. 20th - Possible Assault on Lebanon
Here is your regular military operation breakdown for the week of February 20th. This evening we discussed Israel's saber-rattling over a planned invasion of southern Lebanon in order to prosecute a ground war against Hezbollah.

Episode 1: Dr Liam O'Mara
Welcome to Episode 1 of Colonial Outcasts, a manifestly anti-establishment podcast dedicated to challenging and dismantling ideological systems that perpetuate the self-destructive status quo of Western Imperialism. Our first guest is Dr. Liam O'Mara, an anti-Zionist and anti-Fascist professor of history and comparative genocide studies. The topics discussed are diverse and surround the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, all leading to speculation on how a genocide-enabling ideology can eventually be dismantled.
