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.

Operation Iron Wall: Israel's War and Annexation in the Era of Trump
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!
