    183. Graham Platner: How We Refuse to Learn Simple Lessons

    Check us out at https://www.rfemedia.com/ Imperialism is a primary contradiction, so let’s talk about it because no one is addressing the veteran angle in a critical way . Platner's defenders have been using his self-celebrated service record and the combat PTSD excuse in order to explain away bad behavior, alcohol abuse, and a failure to come to terms with the true cost of the Global War on Terror. I think if some of us were more politically disciplined a bunch of people would not have been side-swiped by this recent credible allegations.It’s just me today for this episode, everyone else is on summer break so I’m stuck having to talk about Platner, about what military service truly means in all its violence and why I currently do not trust a single veteran in office or a single one who is running, and why placing your faith in singular movement leaders to usher in the revolution and turn the electoral college and this whole franchise around is never going to cut it. We might talk about Cesar Chavez, since it’s somewhat apropos.

    182. Patriot Front Marches on DC: This is the Price of Tolerance w/ Zue Jernstedt

    Check out the full episode for free at" https://www.rfemedia.com/ We are not the tolerant left, and we finally need to talk about how influencers in the Palestine Movement support the ideology of White Christian Nationalism, tokenizing Palestinian identity in order to avoid accountability for inherently violent and racist beliefs. Some of you may know who they are, though we're not calling anyone out specifically at this time. In this episode we discuss: The Paradox of Tolerance, how this Veterans Against Fascism march was organized, how it was materially and structurally different from the literal performative Patriot Front march, and how we build momentum and community going forward. To that end, we are joined by Zue Jernstedt - field organizer with About Face: Veterans Against the war, and International Solidarity Member doing protective presence in the West Bank. She was also on the Global Sumud Flotilla with me. We burnt out and pissed off, but hope you enjoy the episode!

    181. How Military Culture Has Infected American "Manhood" w/ Jasper Craven

    I am third generation United States Army, so there was heavy childhood indoctrination in my family. You weren’t a man until you served in a combat unit. In a culture where older rights of passage have been abandoned or intentionally erased, all in service of the imperial machine, there is one coming of age ritual universally available to young men in America - the military. This episode demonstrates how that is bad for literally everyone on the planet. We are joined byJasper Craven is an award-winning investigative journalist covering the U.S. military, veterans' issues, and the American educational complex. He is the author of the critically acclaimed book God Forgives, Brothers Don’t, which will be discussed here today, and a frequent contributor to major national publications. His investigative reporting on the military has appeared in The New York Times, The New Republic, Harper's Magazine, Politico, The Baffler, and The Intercept.

    There is No Master Plan: Is the US Playing 1D Chess to Maintain the Petro-Dollar?

    In this episode of Colonial Outcasts, we’re joined by Elina Xenophontos to break down one of the biggest narratives circulating right now: that the United States is executing some kind of grand strategy to preserve the petro-dollar through global energy blockades, military escalation, and economic warfare. We’re here to challenge that idea. From the escalating tensions with Iran to the deployment of additional carrier strike groups, the so-called “blockade,” and ongoing threats of further military action, we take a hard look at what’s actually happening—and whether any of it resembles a coherent long-term plan.Is this 4D chess… or something much simpler? We discuss:The reality behind the US “blockade” of Iran Why the petro-dollar “master plan” theory doesn’t hold up Military escalation and contradictions in US strategy The role of chaos, miscalculation, and short-term decision making How online narratives can overestimate state competence If you’ve been hearing that everything is part of a carefully orchestrated imperial strategy—this episode is for you.

So we’re about 5 weeks into the most unpopular war in US history with this being the first war ever where the majority of Americans are consciously siding with the nations we’re attacking. After 3 years of Genocide in Gaza, the planet has experienced a level moral cohesion that is unprecedented. This, combined with the revelations coming out of the Epstein files, has set the stage for a level of global solidarity against a common enemy that we have never seen.Iran and Lebanon have shifted the power dynamics through their strategic operations and messaging to the world and in doing so have opened the floodgates of resistance in the region that united Sunni, Shia, Christian and secular, despite the Wahabi and sectarian psyops working overtime to divide. We discuss this unity and the failure of imperial manipulations in the region with a formidable panel of gifted and determined voices from Lebanon and Palestine.Soha Yassine is a guerrilla journalist and narrative podcaster whose work inside the Lebanese hip hop scene — through Safe House Travel Diary — documents resistance, identity, and survival on the ground. She holds a BA in World Religions and an MA in Islamic Studies, with a background in communications for international NGOs.

    War Abroad, Division at Home—Can Anyone Be Reached Before the End Times? (w/ Dr. Hilary Agro)

    This week felt like a turning point. While most headlines focus on rising tensions with Iran and the possibility of wider conflict, a series of U.S. military operations—reportedly including “Operation Epic Fury” and “Operation Total Extermination”—are expanding across multiple regions with barely any public scrutiny. From strikes in the Caribbean to escalating actions near the Colombia–Ecuador border, the scope of what’s happening right now is bigger than most people realize.At the same time, we’re watching the national security state expand at home—ICE presence in airports, increasing surveillance, and political rhetoric that feels more extreme by the day. And somehow, we’re told all of this is for our benefit. Then we’re joined by Dr. Hilary Agro—anthropologist, organizer, and abolitionist educator—to tackle a question that feels more urgent than ever:Can people with harmful or contradictory political beliefs actually change?We talk about:- Why organizing the working class means engaging with people you disagree with- The psychology of political identity and belief formation- Why some people are open to change—and others aren’t- The challenges of bridging divides in an era of polarization- What it actually takes to build movements rooted in collective care and liberationIf we’re serious about building a better world, we have to figure out how to reach people—not just write them off.
