Colonial Outcasts

Has any movement collapsed more completely than MAGA? In this episode of Colonial Outcasts, we examine Trump’s stunning reversal on every key populist promise: escalation in Ukraine, saber-rattling toward Iran, backing Israel-first policy, and promoting a ballooning Pentagon budget. With bipartisan support for more war and sanctions, Trump now openly threatens Russia with ultimatums and long-range strikes—an aggressive pivot cheered on by neocons like Lindsey Graham and think tanks like the Atlantic Council.We break down the fantasy of secondary sanctions, the economic impossibility of isolating Russia, and how Trump’s foreign policy is now indistinguishable from the unipolar imperial doctrine of his predecessors. From NATO expansion to the looming confrontation in Lebanon, we connect the dots between the collapsing facade of MAGA and the emerging Axis of Upheaval—a global order driven by elite panic and escalating militarism.We also take a critical look at the Atlantic Council and Chatham House as mouthpieces for the military-intelligence elite shaping this next phase of global conflict.

Hello and Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that doesn’t pay wall that doesn’t Paywall it’s primary content… unlike Reuters, who this week decided to introduce a 1 dollar a week paywall for the first time ever, and get ready for that to go up next fiscal year.We are gathered here today with our regular geopolitical contributor, Elina Xenophontos, to talk about the Gaza ceasefire farce, the impending resumption of war in Lebanon, the push to secure the entire Levant for western interests in order to encircle Iran before it attacking again - and then tying all of this into the recent BRICS summit which concluded on Monday.

Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the unapologetically anti-imperialist podcast where we break down how Operation Excalibur — an ICE/National Guard raid on LA’s MacArthur Park — connects to Netanyahu's "voluntary migration" speech at the White House. Governments learn from each other — and this week, we're watching that play out in real-time.📄 We examine leaked National Guard documents, dissect the media framing, and expose how militarized policing and state violence are converging under a unified imperial agenda.

Thanks for being patient!With that out of the way - Can we match up to Fred Hampton's level of outreach for class solidarity and hard power revolution?We finally dedicated an episode to the following questions posed numerous times by our audience in the comments: How do we reach the right for class consciousness?Is it even possible? The short answer is: yes, it is. Our proof is in our guest, Manny, a conservative Marine Corps veteran who not only deprogrammed from Zionism years ago due to conversations with leftists, but even used his top tier research and technical skills to author and index a thorough guidebook (link below) for defeating any Zionist argument which he used to coach a good friend of the podcast, an advocate for Palestine and anti-ICE activist, Mea (www.instagram.com/spacebunnynews1) in debating Zionists.We've uploaded this guidebook to our Patreon (below) where you can view and download it for free.We discuss Israel, ICE, MAGA, the rapidly deteriorating state of "the free world" and what is needed for a successful unification of the left and right working class for a successful revolution against the increasingly powerful ruling class. #conservative #war #maga #humanrights #geopolitics #veteran #protest #ice #trump #consitution

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.
