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.

War Abroad, Division at Home—Can Anyone Be Reached Before the End Times? (w/ Dr. Hilary Agro)

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.

Narrative Control: Losing in Iran and the Consent Manufacturing Loop w/ Dr. Keene-Montgomery

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. You can follow Katie here, new to youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@Keene-Montgomery

The Iran War is Going Worse Than You Think: Casualties, Quagmires and GCC Complicity

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.
