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. As founder of Diaspora Peoples Place, she empowers diaspora communities through decolonized gatherings like The Peoples Marketplace and NOCHELLA (April 11, 2026).Anthony Sargon is a Lebanese-AmericanYouTuber/Streamer, documentarian, Former TV Writer and creative.Abu Rahss is co founder of the Palestine News Network.Jedi Darwish is American and Lebanese (South) US Army Veteran, former Explosive Ordnance Disposal - Operations Officer with the United Nations, founder of Radio Beirut, activist, humanitarian, brother, father and son.Assad Shalhoub (@assadshal) is a Lebanese Canadian American creative and co-host of the Habibi House podcast, where he helps shape one of the most unapologetic voices of the Arab diaspora in media today. Blending cultural insight with lived experience, Assad navigates conversations at the intersection of identity, politics, and pop culture with clarity and edge.Laith Marouf is a respected film maker, journalist and humanitarian who operates Free Palestine TV.#lebanon #iran #war #epsteinfiles #muslim #christian #solidarity

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.

We're back for another war analysis but this time we're going to be focusing on the economic aspects and contradictions regarding the latest military misadventure in West Asia. Boots on the ground, market manipulations and the fun insanity of everyday existence. Enjoy y'all!

The war isn't going well for the United States. Let's talk with anthropologist Dr. Katie Keene-Montgomery about how and why people are still trapped in this absurd narrative. Nobody exists outside of propaganda. Here are the six layers of narrative production for reference:

1. Economic interests that require a threat environment to stay profitable

2. Elite networks where consensus forms before any public debate

3. Funded think tanks that convert that consensus into expert opinion

4. Official language and legal designations that install the frame

5. Media systems that distribute it as neutral coverage

6. Public opinion polling that returns the result as democratic mandate

7. Repeat. This is continuous and cyclical.

Hi guys! It’s Wednesday and the War against Iran is going so well that US Regime Media has just dropped the new talking point to all its local subsidiaries - What’ll it be this time? "Short term pain for long term gain."

We discuss the regional chess board and the global chess board, the fight for the petrodollar, and the complicity of the Gulf States in the war against Iran.

The People Pushing War With Iran Believe the World Is EndingSo, this morning President Trump posted to social media that there “will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction.” He signed off with “MIGA!,” for “make Iran great again.”So the dimensions of this conflict have certainly expanded, and now involves over 17 different countries and far more complexity than the Invasion of Iraq - “We are in it Now” says senator Elisa Slotkin, former CIA case officer, when questioned today about approving additional defense funding to extend military operations against Iran for another Hundred Days. All while Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait are considering canceling or reviewing contracts and investment commitments with the U.S. due to mounting economic strain and insecurity caused by the ongoing war with Iran. This potential move aims to pressure the Trump administration to halt the conflict, as Gulf officials express frustration over not being warned about attacks and feeling unprotected.Trump has gutted the state department, many strategic state department postings in region remain unoccupied, USAID, which would usually be working on shaping a post conflict enviroment is not longer really a thing and US bases and Israeli cities have been getting hit. And despite the media blackout a ton of damage is being done to US assets, bases, and the war is not going well. But that’s okay because a lot of evangelical extremists in the WH are actually not trying to live in a better world or fix the environment, or improve your material conditions, because they believe they are living in a time of revelatory prophecy and we are nearing the end of human history anyways.

See y'all next week!

Hello and Welcome to or Welcome back to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that your Ex-MAGA uncle turned Zionist Occupied Government theorist will at first hate, but might actually learn something from if he sticks around to listen. He might learn something about his own class in opposition to the ruling class, the Epstein Class, which he is not a part of - and why just pinning it all on Israel is the Psyop THEY all want you to embrace. Israel has been happy to be the fall guy for US Empire for decades now and We are going to be talking about the information operations surrounding the release of the Epstein Files, how this is a managed and timed release to uphold and preserve the political and economic structure of capitalism, and how the US and Israel became symbiotically merged  into one overriding architecture of extraction, exploitation, and violence. 

This is Terrible.

This is our follow up episode to the last Venezuela episode we released this past Saturday. There has been a torrent of information and analysis released since then and a reinvigorated push for heedless domination coming out of the Whitehouse - to discuss this, special operations propaganda, diaspora politics, the seizure of a Russian Flagged Oil tanker off the coast of Iceland and what this all means for the future of geopolitics and the working class, we are joined as usual by Elina Xenophontos. Fun times in the most sarcastic way possible, too bad we only have an hour to discuss the most salient points of what is going on right now.

Hello and welcome to colonial outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that is doing a special Saturday episode because we have to come to the Fall of the Roman Republic 2.0 where to empire is unmasked in a might-makes-right era of unceasing resource driven wars of domination waged with zero moral pretext or Casus Belli - the one difference is that the average roman citizen may have been lucky enough to receive an infrequent large cash distribution, a land allotment for the destitute in conquered territories, or access to vital resources like grain from Egypt, and metals from Spain, which lowered costs of living. None of that will be happening for you or the people of Venezeula as a result of this imperialist intervention. There will be no trickle down economics coming from the privatization of Venezuela’s oil sector.
