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...

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!

"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. Mother Jones Article: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/elon-musk-trump-white-genocide-south-africa-aid-white-land-removal-twitter-x/

The thing I appreciated about the IOF is that they name their operations after their actual objectives: Operation Iron Wall = Operation increase apartheid. Today we discuss the new West Bank operation and the Palestinian Authority, which is neither Palestinian nor an Authority. Also we mention tech oligarchs. Cheers!

The rise of oligarchy and its chilling effect on American politics takes center stage. Corporate media's role in normalizing far-right ideologies is scrutinized. Listeners hear gripping insights about a recent presidential inauguration's lack of diversity. A former CIA agent reveals troubling realities about Afghanistan's poppy production and its ties to international drug cartels. The troubling shift in the drug trade and the Trump administration's controversial foreign policy decisions reveal complex power dynamics. Join the discussion on America's darkening political landscape.

Welcome to Colonial Outcasts for an impromptu Ceasefire episode. We may repost segments of this to MintPress News but for right now we are going to dive right in because there is a lot to talk about. What is this ceasefire? Is it viable? Why is it happening now? I know a lot of people are confused right now, and we also need to talk about how this ties into the Lebanese presidential elections, and the US Iran policy under the Trump administration, to that end we are joined by Batool Subeiti, energy engineer and political analyst based out of London UK.

Check us out on Patreon for exclusive content: https://www.patreon.com/c/ColonialOutcasts Hello and welcome to Colonial Outcasts the bi-weekly podcast where we demonstrate that the next fifty years are fixing to be really stupid… eh hopefully its only 20, but regardless it is Monday January 13th and we are only two weeks into 2025 - we’ve got disturbed veteran attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, unprecedented wildfires in LA, it’s Snowing in Texas, Trump is about to Start a trade war with Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal are now on the Imperialist annexation Hitlist, Elon Musk is using his social media platform X to rewrite history to assert old Adolf and the National Socialist party were not fascists, but in fact Communists which is ridiculous - but you know, if a billionaire techno feudal anarch-capitalist oligarch says its true, it must be. 

Asad Shalhoub, host of Habibi House, shares his insights from the 2006 Lebanon War while reflecting on the climate crisis gripping Los Angeles. Mayad Space Bunny News, an intersectional activist, dives into the devastating wildfires and the role of socio-economic disparities in emergency responses. The conversation critiques the privatization of firefighting services, explores the inequalities in water rights across California, and highlights the disconnect between celebrity culture and the struggles of displaced communities. An eye-opening discussion on America’s unfolding dystopia!

2025 kicks off with a chilling look at modern surveillance inspired by Orwell’s warnings. Recent attacks by disgruntled veterans shake the political landscape, while the role of media in shaping public perception comes under fire. The conversation dives deep into controversial law enforcement tactics that may entrap the vulnerable. Listeners also explore the implications of a rented Cybertruck linked to a terrorist incident and the historical manipulation of media narratives by the CIA, raising questions about trust in today’s society.
