    Trump Bombs the Caribbean…Thanks to the War on Terror {Adam's Riffs #8.1 (3.5.2026)}

    This is the first part of a two-part Adam’s Riffs episode. In the first part, Adam takes a deep dive into the CIA-backed Afghan death squads called “Zero Units,” the Obama administration’s assassination/drone strike program, and how the War on Terror paved the way for the Trump administration to launch unilateral military strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean.

    RSH 144 -- America’s War on Terror in the Sahel (7.23.2025) (UNLOCKED)

    In this bonus episode, Peter and Adam focus on Africa. Adam talks in-depth about a book recently read The Dying Sahara: U.S. Imperialism and Terror in Africa by Jeremy Keenan, which shows the roots of the U.S. War on Terror in Africa. The Algerian deep state, with the support of the U.S. and Europe, supported al-Qaeda in the Islamic Magreb (AQIM) (with training and many Algerian deep state operatives being al-Qaeda members), fabricated false flag terrorist attacks in the Sahel region, which Algeria blamed on the Tuareg and used as an excuse to expand the War on Terror. They also talk about the importance of African history, why African affairs are relevant to Black America, and Ibrahim Traore.
