    EP. 844: A COLD WAR ON 5 CONTINENTS

    You can find Dr. McCoy's book here: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/.../2631-cold-war-on-five...   Transforming battlegrounds in Africa, Asia, and Latin America into veritable hellscapes, the surrogate wars of the Cold War era left behind a legacy of collective trauma and social conflict that have persisted into the present. In this ambitious work, Alfred W. McCoy uses a bottom-up, outside-in approach to offer an unexpected new perspective on the longest, most consequential conflict in modern history.   McCoy renders an intimate portrait of both embattled covert operatives and committed antiwar protesters, thus humanizing the history of the Cold War—a history that has too often been told in impersonal terms of economic growth, nuclear arsenals, or diplomatic ententes.   As today’s great powers devote humanity’s scarce resources toward ratcheting up a “new cold war” in the face of a worsening climate crisis, McCoy’s history is an important reminder that otherwise- ordinary individuals once helped end a global conflict that threatened nuclear holocaust.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Read the TIR weekly newsletter, THE TIR SOUND OFF here: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1853497   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

    EP. 840: WHY IS THE U.KL. IMPORTING U.S. POLITICS? ft. RALPH LEONARD

    Read Ralph's Article in the Telegraph UK Here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/26/britain-obsession-with-ice-this-is-not-america-trump-blm-uk/ This is not America. This was the mantra that was said to progressive activists in Britain after their importation of American politics in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd in 2020. The 2020 “awokening” globalised the BLM style: activists around the world adopted and regurgitated American talking points on race and police brutality that didn’t map well onto their own particular countries.   Real problems were substituted for, to slightly paraphrase Alex Hochuli, “mediatised representations of someone else’s problems”.   We sadly had a late rescheduling with the good people of Means TV, but in the meantime, Deep State is going to join me to have a discussion about what we're seeing in Minnesota and armed resistance.   This will not be a "How To" guide, so if that's what you're looking for, then, maybe you should log off for a bit because the internet and podcast isn't where you should be headed to if you're looking for step by step instructions on an insurrection.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.
