    UK's massive facial recognition experiment is happening now

    Who controls the cameras on our streets? Who is harmed from policing by algorithm in a fair society? With the rollout of AI facial recognition technology across the UK, citizens face a massive experiment that treats us like Guinea pigs. Police vans and fixed CCTV cameras are scanning thousands of faces. Cases of misidentification, like that of Shaun Thomson. We speak to Jasleen Chaggar, legal and policy officer at Big Brother Watch, to understand the history of these tools.

    West Papua Genocide Explained

    In this episode of Decolonial Dispatch, host Mohammed speaks with Benny Wenda, leader of the ULMWP and the Provisional Government of West Papua, to discuss the West Papuan struggle against Indonesian occupation. The conversation begins by contextualising the recent Indonesian protests against the ruling elite as a parallel decolonial struggle against a "dying empire". Benny recounts his harrowing personal history, from witnessing the 1977 massacres and surviving in the bush as a child to the deep-seated racism he faced in the Indonesian education system. They explore the "Papuan Spring" following Suharto's collapse, the assassination of independence leaders like Theys Eluay, and how the new generation has utilised technology to bypass censorship and lose their fear. The episode concludes with Benny's "Green State Vision," the intersection of slow genocide with corporate ecocide, and a direct call for a global boycott of products fuelling the destruction of West Papuan land.

    Venezuela, Oil, and the Costs of Empire

    Who profits from oil in Venezuela? And who should? With what was once one of the world's most productive oil basins, Venezuela's resource rich landscape made it one of the wealthiest country's in Latin America. But the petrostate has suffered in recent years, becoming a nation in crisis. One in five people have left due to political and economic instability under President Nicolas Maduro and sanctions ordered by Trump. Venezuela has been described as a failed state. But with the US army kidnapping Maduro, and US imperial ambitions, we speak to Global Witness to understand - failed by whom? And for whose benefit? Hosted on Acast.

    Who to support in Iran?

    The collapse of the Iranian Regime doesn't necessarily mean justice. We're trying to find out who on the ground is trying to replace the regime with a vision for all of Iran's peoples that is pro democratic, anti-monarchist, anti-imperialist, and represents the aspirations of Iran's popular forces. Is the Iranian Regime Collapsing? This might be wishful thinking.. But if so, what will replace it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    How to stop Genocide: Palestinian Youth Movement

    In this episode of Decolonial Dispatch, host Mohammed explores the pivotal role of youth in the Palestinian liberation struggle with organisers Janine and Dario from the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM). The conversation traces the historical legacy of youth organising, from the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) to the post-Oslo landscape, highlighting how the accords served as a form of capitulation that fragmented the movement. The guests discuss their theory of change "from below," detailing the strategic success of the "Mask Off Maersk" campaign in disrupting the logistics of imperialism. They also offer insights on revolutionary optimism, the necessity of organised struggle against austerity and global capitalism, and how the diaspora can create crises for Zionism from within the imperial core.
