Episode 253 - Israel's Oct 7 Claims Crumble Under Mild Scrutiny
April 15, 2024 17:52 - 1 hour - 145 MBIt turns out that even just some basic journalism, i.e. asking questions, can topple Israel's flimsy claims of October 7th crimes. PLUS beware greenwashing in unlikely places, never letting war criminals be comfortable, and more! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Episode 252 - Hold Up: White People Die in Gaza, EPA Can Get You Healthcare, Salamanders vs Democracy
April 08, 2024 17:41 - 1 hour - 148 MBCalls for a ceasefire erupt after white people die in Gaza. At the other Palestine, that's East Palestine, OH, new evidence comes to light that shows how the EPA could have automatically given all the affected residents universal healthcare (because it's done so before) but chose not to because they didn't wanna "get into this." It's not you and your habit of needing a car to get to work that's the problem. Just 57 companies responsible for 80% of all greenhouse gas emissions. PLUS le...
Episode 251 - By God Buy Duct Tape, Meet The Israelis Blocking Aid, Alabama Bans Diversity
March 26, 2024 18:46 - 1 hour - 148 MBNATO wants you to prepare for the worst, i.e. nuclear war - so make sure you have a flashlight! Or a fleshlight, unclear which one. The Grayzone infiltrates the Israelis blocking aid to Gaza, and brings us footage of their take on things, and yep it's as awful as you'd expect. Meanwhile, as climate chaos worsens wildfires across the country, the support and even basic compensation for the most elite firefighters stagnates and dwindles. PLUS ICC submission re genocide, Alabama bans tea...
Episode 250 - When Aid Isn't Aid, When A Ceasefire Isn't Enough, and When AI Reflects The Worst In Us
March 18, 2024 15:00 - 59 minutes - 137 MBAs more celebrities and zionist politicians jump on the ceasefire bandwagon, we gotta accept that what's needed goes WAY beyond a simple ceasefire into the decolonized realms where no politicians will venture... In the shared category of words not meaning what they say, the "aid" the US has dropped (or bombed) onto Gazans is even less helpful than many realize due to the fact that starving people can't actually eat processed foods, and could actually die from eating what's being dropped by...
Episode 249 - We Don't Want Girlboss Feminism, Automating Genocide, You're Almost Unhoused
March 11, 2024 13:53 - 1 hour - 139 MBAh, International Women's Day, a day for liberal women to co-opt the concept of radical feminism in order to uplift white supremacy and capitalism. If we really wanna uplift women (and in so doing, all genders), we gotta recognize that feminism is a rejection of all domination and coercion, especially capitalism and white supremacy. Furthermore, we gotta widen our gaze to see how patriarchy injures men and boys. In other news, let's briefly deconstruct the dumbshittery of the State of the...
Episode 248 - October 7th Stories Continue to Crumble, NATO Attempts Humor as a Propaganda Tool, Tech Bros Try Geoengineering
March 04, 2024 16:32 - 1 hour - 143 MBThe US can't and won't condemn the murder of Palestinian children even when asked pointedly. NATO attempted to use humor and memes to propagandize people into thinking Ukraine would win. Here's how that turned out... Apparently some intentional killings by police don't count as murders by police. You read that right. PLUS techo bros try geoengineering, and a voice for Gaza and Assange in British Parliament, George Galloway! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Episode 247 - One Nation of Cop Cities, Plastic Waste Colonialism, FBI Going After Indigenous Youth,
February 26, 2024 16:32 - 1 hour - 139 MBSexual violence is often used as a weapon of war. Unfortunately, claims of sexual violence are also used to declare victimhood in the face of legitimate allegations of war crimes, as is the case with Israel. As more and more details emerge from Israel's flimsy reports from October 7th, the issue of mass rape is a glaring example of how those perpetuating genocide weaponize rape claims in order to deflect from their own war crimes, some of which include sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners...
Episode 246 - Ten Things They Won't Tell You About Mass Shooters, #FreeAssangeNOW
February 21, 2024 14:09 - 55 minutes - 127 MBIt's genocide. Deeds matter. Not words. As corporate media continues to throw up headlines about how conflicted Biden feels, and how the UN feels this or that way about Israel, the genocide continues unabated. Don't let these "feel-good" or promising headlines hide the fact that our government is perpetuating the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Meanwhile, another day in the US, another mass shooting. It's vital to make connections btwn violence at home and abroad as part of the same coloni...
Episode 245 - More Lies About October 7th Revealed, Open Season on the Homeless, Silenced for Speaking on Gaza,
February 12, 2024 16:53 - 59 minutes - 137 MBThis one goes out to all the October 7th handwringers: check your facts. More and more comes to light about the remarkable propaganda campaign about supposed violent acts by H**as on October 7th. Meanwhile, in the birthplace of genocidal colonialism, the European Parliament silences member Clare Daly for, well, for speaking facts. Here on the homefront, why wage war on homelessness when you can wage a war on the homeless? As more and more people find it impossible to stay housed in the ...
Episode 244 - The Secret $1.5 Trillion Nuclear Program, Slave Labor: It's What's For Dinner, Surveillance Like You've Never Seen it Before!
February 05, 2024 19:44 - 59 minutes - 135 MBThe nuclear arms race never went away, it just shifted gears. And now, it's shifting back into high gear with a brand spankin new $1.5 trillion deal that'll require, among other ills, massive new mining for radioactive materials. Meanwhile, lest we forget, slave labor is still totally legal in the land of the free. A new report shows how extensive the network of forced prison labor is in the agriculture industry. Border surveillance is booming, and it's on your phone too! PLUS conne...
Episode 243 - What Can The World Court Do Now, UK Plots Against Journalist, American Gas Chambers
January 29, 2024 21:18 - 59 minutes - 137 MBWelp, the ICJ ruling has come down as you've now likely heard - what does it mean, what does it do and where do we go from here? Meanwhile in the shared category of horrific acts, the US can now add gassing prisoners to its tally of human rights violations. This past week, a prisoner in Alabama was tortured and ultimately murdered by the state using nitrogen gas. But wait, there's more: A new investigation at the border shows that Border Patrol doesn't just actively try to kill migrants...
Episode 242 - US Admits It Aims to Suppress Democracy, Rent Is Killing Us, Rest in Power Klee Benally
January 08, 2024 21:09 - 56 minutes - 130 MBAnd now for a list of things you knew but didn't have official confirmation on! Amidst its ongoing support for genocide in Gaza, a US representative said the quiet part loud and just straight up said (or slipped) that the US is all about suppressing democracy. Next up, the struggle to pay rent in the US is actually killing us sooner. The US is implicated in South Africa's case of genocide - more on that via Eleanor's latest show on Project Censored. We can't green colonialist or g...
Episode 241 - How US Media Laid the Groundwork for Israel's Onslaught, Thoughtcrimes Against Apartheid, Get Them Kids Back To Work!
December 20, 2023 16:31 - 56 minutes - 130 MB'Tis the season! Earlier this month, rad Jews celebrated the eight nights of Chanukah with direct action blocking business as usual in the face of genocide. Several Jewish elders also locked themselves to the gates of the White House in protest of the US support for genocide. Meanwhile, it's already a crime to boycott Israel in about 30 states. But now, thoughtcrimes against Israel could also be illegal. Child labor is no big deal, right? It's so not a big deal that in Florida, th...
Episode 240 - Why Go After Poets, Neoliberalism The Long Road to Fascism, And YOU Get a Grenade Launcher!
December 11, 2023 20:38 - 1 hour - 145 MBIt's not worth discussing COP(out)28 much, but here's an action that draws the important connection between what's happening in Palestine to the greenwashing farce of the COP meetings. Last week, a much beloved and powerful poet and teacher Refaat Alareer was murdered by Israel. He was specifically targeted - why? Why is it so important to go after the poets, the storytellers? In Europe, the far right continues to gain momentum. It's not hard to see why once you consider the fact that n...
Episode 239 - Inside and Under the Hospital, Calls for a Ceasefire Continue, War Pigs Making Bank
November 27, 2023 15:39 - 1 hour - 143 MBThe media has moved on from the breathtakingly horrific terrorist raid on Al Shifa hospital - so here are some things worth nothing, insde and under.

Episode 238 - State Department Fumbles Over Zionist Illogic, Connecting Struggles From Atlanta to Gaza
November 13, 2023 17:08 - 1 hour - 147 MBA State Dept talking head was tasked with defending the US' backing of genocide, and it goes about as smoothly as you'd expect. Not so side note, hats off to Sam Husseini for not rushing the stage... In that same vein, Eleanor and Lee dig into some popular talking points in the ongoing Zionist mental gymnastics and how to approach/debunk them. Finally, the days of action to Block Cop City are here, and here's why that matters in the context of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Episode 237 - Zelensky's Inner Circle Admits It's Over, Unprecedented Secret Weapon Deals
November 06, 2023 17:48 - 1 hour - 141 MBWhat with a genoc*de unfolding, folks would be forgiven for not paying attention to Ukraine. But since we last spoke of good ole Zelensky, it seems that things are not looking up for him. In fact, it's gotten to the point where even his closest advisers are admitting that there is no path to victory for them. So, what now? More udpates on what's happening in Palestine as well as what's happening here - be it Biden's request for secret arms deals or cracks in the facade of Israeli propagand...
Episode 236 - Europe Makes Solidarity With The Oppressed Illegal, Should We Call It A Genocide?
October 30, 2023 14:50 - 1 hour - 142 MBWe must never lose our ability to be disgusted, even if we quickly lose our ability to be shocked. Congress voted (in a totally pointless display of awfulness) to support genocide. Oh and should we call it "genocide?" Here's a look at what that term means and how it applies. PLUS Europe makes moves to crackdown on solidarity with the oppressed, tears for Ukrainians, shrugs for Palestinians. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Episode 235 - The US War on Peace, Most Zionists Are Christian
October 23, 2023 20:18 - 1 hour - 141 MBImagine a US President standing up in front of Congress and demanding money for healthcare, education, infrastructure, reforestation. Hard to do, huh? Now imagine a US President standing up in front of Congress demanding $100 billion for war. Pretty easy to imagine, right? Well, that's because it happened. And that's because it's toally in line with what the US empire cherishes most: war. PLUS fun fact: most Zionists aren't Jews, they're Christian. And if we're gonna talk hostages, we g...
Episode 234 - Why These Two Jews Support Palestine
October 16, 2023 17:25 - 1 hour - 144 MBIt's been a non-stop barrage of propaganda from the corporate media, and if you follow alternative sources, it's been non-stop vital reporting of the horrifying facts from the ground. Lee and Eleanor wade through this to contextualize what's going on, where the nuance lies and why we fundamentally support the Palestinian struggle for freedom. leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Episode 233 - Walls Don't Work So Let's Build One, US Invading Haiti, Why Drag Shows Are Dangerous
October 11, 2023 14:15 - 58 minutes - 135 MBWith much himming and hawing, Biden announces his administration's fast tracking of border wall construction - because walls don't work! Wait, what? Meanwhile, the US is invading Haiti - but not like officially. In other news, drag shows are dangerous - because they threaten the heteronormative patriarchal state. PLUS good and bad news from California! leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com
Episode 232 - Lee Camp Attacked For Being Anti-War, Democrats and Republicans Reach Across Aisle To Punch The Unhoused
October 02, 2023 19:54 - 1 hour - 144 MBOh Mother Jones, how horrified you be to know that your name is being used to smear legitimate leftists! Eleanor and Lee peruse a new hit piece against Lee and two presidential candidates for being...anti-war. Meanwhile, did you know that it's Russia's fault that Canada harbored N*zis after the 2nd world war and gave a standing ovation to one in their Parliament? Back in the US of A, Dems and Republicans are once again working together - this time, it's to ensure their ability to viola...
Episode 231 - West Virginia's Chernobyl, A Tale of Two UN Speeches, World's 5th Largest Economy Sues Big Oil
September 25, 2023 19:11 - 1 hour - 140 MBIsraeli forces are concerned about their government - because they want to keep murdering children. Hey, war in Ukraine is over! But Uncle Sam can't stop, won't stop. Look no further than Biden's address to the UN where he used his time to have a sandbox tiff of propaganda against Russia. Meanwhile, President of Brazil Lula da Silva used his time to highlight the grotesque terror campaign against truthteller Julian Assange. In the world's 5th largest economy, the government is going af...
Episode 230 - Striking Strategies, Block Cop City, Google Nimbus Apartheid, Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse
September 18, 2023 19:16 - 59 minutes - 137 MBUAW's striking strategy looks different than some expected and others hoped. Relatedly, some Google employees take a stand against the company's role in perpetuating apartheid. A call to action this November: Block Cop City! And this continued push against this highly unpopular project marks one of the many reasons why Stop Cop City is so dangerous to the ruling establishment: it lays bare how remarkably undemocratic our system really is. Four horsement of the apocalypse? That's so 2,...
Episode 229 - A Bird, A Plane? No! It's A Cop Drone In Your Backyard!
September 05, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 140 MBHope y'all had a good weekend filled with drones spying on you in the name of the law... Meanwhile, the EPA has tossed 63% of all wetlands out of its purview of giving a shit (not that it gave much of a shit to begin with), and oh how apt, this has a lot to do with the wildfires in Maui! Be it banning the history of US racism and genocide or the banning of books, thousands of school districts across the country have fallen prey to so-called "education intimidation bills." PLUS flight a...
Episode 228 - The Remarkable and Avoidable Failures of Maui Officials, A Salamander Stole Your Vote, and I Got Chased by a Bear
August 28, 2023 17:14 - 1 hour - 144 MBMuch of the disastrous wildfires on Maui could not be avoided thanks to decades of capitalist and colonialist destruction. But some of it, particularly the numbers of dead and missing - could have been avoided. It's a topsy turvy world so why wouldn't there be an onomatopoeia-esque consolidation of our food system... PLUS Yard Rock 2024 attends BRICS summit, Eleanor got chased by a bear, salamanders stole your vote and MORE! p.s. yes, we did talk about Trump but only to talk about wh...

August 21, 2023 19:00 - 59 minutes - 136 MBIf you've ever gotten a glimpse into your family tree via a DNA-testing service, well now the cops have a glimpse into you - literally. It wouldn't be a Democrat in office if they weren't kicking millions of people off of Medicaid while also saying what a shame it is that millions are being kicked off of Medicaid. Eleanor's new film is out on August 22nd! Check out the trailer and get the film at ToTheTreesFilm.com
Episode 226 - What's Driving Maui Fires, Forcing a Pipeline Through a US Rainforest
August 14, 2023 16:55 - 1 hour - 140 MBThe wildfires on Maui are the worst in US history. Here's a look at what's really driving them and a few ideas on support that isn't the god damn Red Cross (sereiously y'all, don't give money to the Red Cross). Meanwhile, the US government including Congress, Biden and even the fucking Supreme Court are all working hard to ensure that the Mountain Valley Pipeline gets shoved through one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, Appalachia. But pipeline fighters aren't taking this fight ...
Episode 225 - Schools Crumbling, Millions of Kids in Poverty & The Pentagon Needs Money for Whiteboards!
August 07, 2023 15:34 - 1 hour - 147 MBThe Pentagon might have a budget of over $1 trillion but they're somehow short on whiteboards... Meanwhile, schools are literally falling apart and students are freezing, boiling and being piled into trailers in order to learn about the gloriousness and exceptionalism of 'Murica. And absolutely relatedly, 11 million of the 70+ million children in the US live in extreme poverty. In other news, cells taken without consent from a Black woman back in the 50s have been used for scientific...
Episode 224 - Child Labor Laws Are So Last Century, How a News Outlet Staged a Coup
July 31, 2023 13:13 - 1 hour - 139 MBSlap a new name on it and you got yourself a Trump-era policy in Democrat swatches! Biden's asylum ban has recently been halted by a Federal Judge, but the administration is already challenging the Judge's order. Here's a scoop on the aslyum ban, and how so-called sanctuary cities are leaning on mutual aid groups in order to live up to their name. From kids in cages to kids in deep fat friers, child labor laws are so last century! Indeed, why even bother paying a 10-year old mopping floo...
Episode 223 - Weaponizing Climate Change, What A Year Without Reproductive Health Looks Like
July 25, 2023 00:37 - 1 hour - 142 MBWell, it's been a year since the honestly bare bones access to reproductive healthcare in this country was barred. Since then, the effect on people's basic right to bodily autonomy has suffered - primarily in low income and non-white communities, not least of all Indigenous. Still, there are some rad and powerful ways in which people are fighting to take control of our bodies! Meanwhile, as the world becomes both hotter and more politically destabilized, the arms industry is directly fuel...
Episode 222 - Sweden Joins Death Cult, This Action is The Sh*t (literally), Beach Access is a Class War
July 17, 2023 19:40 - 53 minutes - 123 MBWell, they finally did it. The "neutral" nation of Sweden has slashed 200 years of political precedent and joined the dealth cult popularly known as NATO. Resident Swede Eleanor digs into how facocked this is while she and Lee give context via little tid bits like how Russia wanted to join NATO at its founding and documents showing NATO promised to not move east of the Elbe river in Germany. Meanwhile up and to the left in England, activists put on a literal shit show in the name of sto...
Episode 221 - A Cluster F**k of War Crimes, and A Common Place for Radioactive Waste Dumping
July 10, 2023 16:48 - 1 hour - 138 MBSoooo just when it seemed the US proxy war in Ukraine couldn't get any more facocked, Biden announced that he'd be raining down largely-banned cluster munitions so that people (not least of all children) can be maimed for decades to come. Meanwhile, Japan has announced that they finally have a solution for the radioactive waste from Fukushima: the Pacific Ocean. Now that sounds horrifying (because it is), but wait til you hear how common of a practice this really is! PLUS the cruel and...
Episode 220 - What You Don't Know About Affirmative Action, What Keeps Billionaires Awake at Night, Fight For Your Right to..Sit?
July 02, 2023 18:31 - 1 hour - 143 MBVive la revolucion! After French police murdered a 17-year old on the outskirts of Paris, Frane is once again in the throes of public rage and dismay. Could this latest wave be too much to keep Macron n friends afloat? So, the Supreme Court sucks - and that's by design. Not only did they stomp out hope for even the most measley of college debt relief bills, but they stomped on the measliest of policies to address systemic racism in higher education. And I do mean measley. We've got more d...
Episode 219 - This is What Fascism Looks Like, The Geography of Tragedy
June 26, 2023 19:15 - 1 hour - 144 MBFlorida may be the punch line of jokes these days but there's a lot we can learn about the fascism to come (without proactive resistance to it) from this most southern state. At this point, discussion of the imploded sub has reached feverishly repetitive tones. So we're gonna flip the script and talk about a tragedy that you may not have heard about - because, according to our media and cultural paradigms, it was geographically, economically, and racially not tragic. PLUS Zelensky annou...
Episode 218 - A Green Light For The Biggest Strike in US History, Empire's Grip Slipping in the Middle East, Indigenous Rights Upheld,
June 18, 2023 00:44 - 1 hour - 140 MBUPS has until July 31st to stave off the largest single employer strike in US history. Will they do it? And regardless of the outcome, what does this mean for workplace organizing in any and all trades and companies? Also good news: the Empire's grip in the Middle East is slipping after Blinken just had yet another disappointing trip to Saudi Arabia where officials there pushed back considerably on US wishes for the region. Hey, more good news! ICWA or the Indian Child Welfare Act was (...
Episode 217 - Guilty of Journalism, Debt Deal Disasters, and That Picture Is Lying To You
June 04, 2023 19:08 - 1 hour - 138 MBWe're back! It's been more than a minute but now Eleanor is back with the show so we can all pick right back up where we left off because sadly, this show is still necessary as the world has not drastically changed for the better nor has corporate media decided suddenly to give a damn about actual issues. Speaking of which, actual journalists have been found guilty - well, of being actual journalists. Meanwhile, the only folks to move unscathed thru the massive cuts that made the debt ...
Episode 216 - Petrodollar Dying, Does Trump Indictment Matter
April 07, 2023 23:06 - 1 hour - 203 MBHey, let's start off with a proof of life from Eleanor and then get right into the nitty gritty. Like hey, did y'all know that the petrodollar is dying?

February 26, 2023 17:42 - 1 hour - 149 MBThe official Pentagon budget is almost $1 trillion. So what if we just shaved of $100bn of that? A couple of members of Congress are proposing just that, and here's what we have to say about that. Meanwhile, China has offered up a 12-step program to peace, if you will. Their 12-point plan is specifically targeted to the war in Ukraine but could really apply to any of the imperial catastrophes the US has going. Russiagate has officially been deemed bullshit but that hasn't stopped the p...
Episode 214 - How Predictable Was the Ohio Derailment, Massive March in Madrid for Universal Healthcare, Satan and Supreme Court Justice Alito's New Abortion Clinic
February 21, 2023 13:40 - 1 hour - 162 MBThere's no shortage of coverage of the disastrous train derailment in East Palestine, OH. But what's really missing is the context of why, how and amazingly how predictable and therefore avoidable the whole catastrophe was. Hint: corporate profits over safety and worker's rights. Over the pond, it looks like the US crippled Germany's energy infrastructure for no reason. The hopes that the US bombing of the Nordstream pipeline (which corporate media is rabidly eager to discredit) would tan...
Episode 213 - Peru Fights On, Huge Win in Alaska, Trading Organs for Freedom
February 07, 2023 14:45 - 1 hour - 149 MBSince late last year, Peru has been in the throws of an amplified struggle against US imperialism. The struggle quickly turned violent and the people of Peru continue to be resilient in demanding democracy and justice. The EPA did something good...their job! But not to worry, they've announced that they won't make a habit of it - indeed, they've only done this 3 times in the past 30 years so rest assured all ye polluters! Meanwhile, prisoners may soon be able to make a trade for time off...
Episode 212 - French Workers Sieze Power, Cops Terrified of Tree Houses, Another Nail in Russiagate's Coffin
January 30, 2023 09:47 - 1 hour - 146 MBRussiagate is already easily refuted, but it seems like the hits (i.e. the truth) keep comin! New evidence shows collusion between social media and the US government to label anything they don't like as Russian bots - which of course turns out were neither Russian nor bots. Discuss. Following the murder of a forest defender in the Atlanta forest, Dekalb County Police are doing their utmost to paint defenders as terrorists - because apparently sitting in a tree house is absolutely terrifyi...
Episode 211 - MLK's Murderers Celebrate His Life, Sweden Licks Boot of US Empire, Massive Arctic Drilling Planned
January 16, 2023 13:39 - 1 hour - 141 MBWell it's MLK day and we just wouldn't know how to celebrate it without racists, capitalists, and imperialists misquoting the Civil Rights leader in some of the most absurd and twisted ways. Meanwhile, Sweden is desperate to get in on US empire's game, even going so far as to suggest that flying a flag could be an act of terrorism. A massive arctic drilling project is planned because you know, 'Murica. PLUS Courts side with Palestinian rights activists & tens of thousands rush to a sma...

January 08, 2023 12:34 - 1 hour - 158 MBHere's some good news to start the year off on a high note! Formerly imprisoned Brazilian president Lula is back in office! Bolsonaro snuck off to Florida with his tail between his legs and the never-president-of-Venezuela-but-called-president-by-uncle-sam Guaido has finally been ousted by his own party. Meanwhile in the bad news department (I mean you knew we were going to), Big Oil is behind some of the most aggressive plastics recycling campaigns, and surprise surprise, they're not maki...
Episode 209 - Should Rail Workers Call Biden's Bluff, Twitter's History of Censorship, Ron DeSantis' Past Revealed
December 05, 2022 15:06 - 1 hour - 140 MBRailroad workers were dealt a serious (but unsurprising) blow by Biden and Congress who decided to make a potential rail strike illegal rather than give them the basic human rights they're asking for. So, should they call Biden's bluff? Matt Taibbi has recently dug into Twitter's history of censoring those the ruling class take issue with - not least of all those sharing provable facts about Biden's son. DeSantis isn't just a right-wing extremist, he's a veteran torturer and war criminal...
Episode 208 - Apologies for Chemical Experimentation, Protections for Homicidal Extremists, Confused Missiles & MORE!
November 20, 2022 17:42 - 1 hour - 166 MBImperialism isn't just something the US does 'over there.' It's very much a home game. Like when predominantly black inmates in Philadelphia were used as guinea pigs for chemical experimentation for decades, then told they couldn't file a lawsuit because it was too long ago, then the city 'apologized' for using their bodies as toxic waste sites. Meanwhile, homicidal extremists clearly linked to torturous murder get protection from the US government - because oil. We don't often ask folks...
Episode 207 - It's OK To Not Be Shocked, But You Gotta Stay Disgusted: From the UK Building Terror Armies in Ukraine to the US Bailing Out Death Dealers & MORE
November 07, 2022 17:04 - 1 hour - 147 MBIt's ok if you're not shocked anymore - but never lose your disgust and disdain for the war machine. For instance, if you've been following the show and know the context of the proxy war in Ukraine, you won't be surprised to learn that the UK built a 'terror army' in order to better poke the Russian bear. You may also not be shocked by the fact that FOUR weapons contractors got more money from the US government than 300 million+ Americans. It's not all that shocking anymore. But it nee...
Episode 206 - New Hue, Same Crew: the Latest British PM + Do Midterms Matter?
November 02, 2022 18:22 - 1 hour - 171 MBThese Midterms are the most important EVER! Just like the last time! So it begs the question, do midterms ever matter? Meanwhile in the UK, the new boss, same as the old boss (but richer if you can believe it) proves to us that it doesn't matter what shade of skin or what gender someone has because people of all stripes can be imperialist, capitalist douche canoes. PLUS updates on the egregious miscarriage of justice for Mumia abu Jamal, "bee" prepared for some direct action, and MORE! ...
Episode 205 - Non-West Coalesces Against US Empire, EU Admits Prosperity Based on Cheap Chinese Labor & Russian Energy, and More!
October 27, 2022 14:47 - 1 hour - 162 MBAs Chris Hedges wrote, we are an empire in decline - and nations outside of ours can see the writing on the wall perhaps far more than we oursleves can.
