*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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

So the basic premise of this discussion, as I see it, will be - The UN General Assembly wants to vote to potentially recognize a Palestinian State, which Israel desperately does not want. The US supports Israel unconditionally thus far, but if the UN, which is essentially a US construct which gives America geo-political legitimacy and influence around the globe, votes to recognize Palestine - the United States will finally have to choose between its two children. To back Israel no matter...

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...

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...

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...

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. Video credit:...

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...

Most American conservatives support Israel but are completely unaware of Israel establishing Epstein's empire, their cultivation of corruption with our politicians, their alliance with and monopoly over the main stream media and Hollywood, their involvement in supplying tyrannical regimes (including our own) with surveillance technology, their psyop of manipulating the American church culture to believe that Israelis are the "ancient Israelites", and their cooperation with big multinational...

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...

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...

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...

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...
