Invading West Bank in a multi-brigade action to “root out criminals” and grab more land. But first, will Bombala Harris, I mean Kamala Harris stop this madness and enforce both international law and our own Leahey Laws, which dictate that we can’t send arms to a country committing human rights violations.

Check us out on patreon for exclusive content: https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcasts Today we are talking about the Haditha Massacre nearly 20 years later with a US Marine who was in sector during the aftermath of the massacre about the blowback that was still taking place two years later. This will be a two part series hopefully. Part one is context, part two will hopefully involve an interview with a Former Marine Judge Advocate General Lawyer who was involved tangentially in the cover-up. He actually texted me last night “Greg, I was involved in Haditha and know of the cover up. Those photos are burned into my memory.” So hopefully that will be part two, but no promises.

Check us out on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcasts Hello and welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that your Uncle will hate. Today we are going to be talking about media bubbles, censorship, the cancer that is the word “terrorist,” and the prelude to the next war. I am Joined by series regular Elina Xenophontos and we are going to dive right into it.

First of all, my instagram account has been blocked to non-followers, Elina has lost her original followers, but what’s even worse for journalism at Large is that there is a multi-platform campaign to de-platform The Cradle Media - a "journalist-driven news outlet that is free, unowned, and covers the geopolitics of West Asia from within."

Because of July’s busy schedule at Colonial Outcasts, we are only now releasing a month-old episode with Wally Rashid, Palestinian American, entrepreneur and social media influencer. Recorded on July 11th, Wally relays the continuing horrors on his family village of Burin as well as other West Bank villages. The violent pogroms which took place on the 4th of July as Americans enjoyed their celebration of false independence are just an example of many that have defined reality for Palestinians struggling to endure under the brutal occupation. As the violent Israeli settlements, fueled by cultish belief systems of religious supremacy and blood lust against the inhabitants of West Bank villages rooted in the landscape for thousands of years, Wally has been working within the United States political structure to get these settlements sanctioned. We discuss the complexity of this work that Wally has taken on as well as the experience of his family’s village during these violent raid by former IDF settlers. Wally also discusses the value of long-term strategies through US politics and finding political avenues outside the box of ideology. While Wally and Mark hold different opinions regarding political strategy and direction, the urgency for any and all avenues in the fight for Palestine’s liberation from the everyday horrors of genocide, settler violence and ethnic cleansing is what drives the comradery within the movement as exemplified with Wally’s critical voice being platformed a third time on Colonial Outcasts.

I’m not really sure what the point of the DNC is this year since the only choice we have is Pro-Weapons to Israel, pro-cop city, pro-militarized border, pro-prison Kamala Harris. But the DNC is going to be held as a formality to confirm Kamala as the candidate. Because, hell yeah, Democracy for the win.

While we on colonial outcasts would never tell you who to vote for, if you say you can’t protest Harris/Wolz and demand action against the war machine and the police state for fear of Trump, you’ve last the plot. You will most likely be losing your freedom of speech, assembly, and your right to bodily autonomy eventually either way.

Seven days ago the Ukrainian Army (AFU) initiated a surprise counter-offensive into the Russian region of Kursk along the northern border of Ukraine and initially captured over 350 square kilometers of territory, in what is the largest regional gain since the Kharkiv offensive nearly two years ago. It's going to be a blunder. The AFU is incredibly unlikely to achieve any of their strategic goals...

https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcasts As the genocide in Gaza rages on, the specter of a large scale regional kinetic conflict with millions of lives at stake looms over our heads and Israel beats the drums of war with Washington dancing to it, a question is starting to surface in many our conversations: are we entering WWIII? This is the prologue for our multipart series on revolution with history professor, Dr. Butch Ware. Follow Professor Butch Ware on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/butchware/ We’ve had plenty of episodes on the military dynamics and postering in this region, the dangerous nature of Israel’s provocations poised to drag the United States into an all out war with Iran, Hezbollah, and Yemen that could lead us into a world war with China and Russia, but in this episode we propose an alternative possibility: WWIII gets canceled due to a scheduling conflict with a world wide revolution. We discuss the tangibility of revolution, why they fail, why they succeed, how it can be done right, why the Black Panthers are so important to the topic, how Islam plays an important part of global revolution, and most importantly: why we should be prioritizing Indigenous histories and social organization as a political direction as opposed to forms of governments birthed from white supremacy. We aim for this series to serve as a toolkit for potential leaders to use in forming their own ideas on getting this revolution popped off like a smoke grenade. #icj #antiimperialism #decolonize #ceasefire #uspolitics #israelhamaswar #globalaffairs #foreignaffairs #humanrights #breakingnews #internationalnews #warzoneclips #veteran #politicalnews #palestina #politics #political #internationalrelations #internationallaw #colonialoutcasts #counterterrorism #globalsecurity #iran #globalsecurity #ww3 #worldwar3 #middleeast #trump #internationalnews #warzoneclips #veteran #politicalnews #palestina #politics #political #internationalrelations #internationallaw #colonialoutcasts #counterterrorism #globalsecurity

Check us out on Patreon for Exclusive Content: https://www.patreon.com/ColonialOutcastsIt is currently Monday night/Tuesday morning August 5th/6th and this is a speed post episode because this news cycle has been insane over the past few days. White nationalist riots in London, a contentious election in Venezuela, an apparent overthrow, at least temporarily, of the Bangladeshi Government, and the Iran/Israel tensions are escalating to a boiling point where a wider conflict that could engulf the region is more likely now than ever and this episode can become irrelevant at any moment.
