Descripción

For decades, we’ve been told the United Nations is the last line of defense against genocide, war crimes, and tyranny. But from Gaza to Rwanda, Bosnia to Yemen, the record is clear: the UN doesn’t stop atrocities — it manages the optics around them. In this episode of Catching Zs, we tear apart the myth of international humanitarian law by exposing how the UN enables empire, silences truth, and sacrifices the oppressed at the altar of diplomacy. From the rigged foundation of the Security Council to the ICC’s selective prosecutions and the political assassination of UNRWA, we lay bare the complicity, cowardice, and calculation behind the blue flag. 📌 Support the show: ko-fi.com/catchingzs [https://ko-fi.com/catchingzs] 📬 Contact & Collab: catchingzspod@protonmail.com [catchingzspod@protonmail.com]

Narratives of Help, Realities of Harm: Exposing NGO Colonialism

In this episode of Catching Zs, we rip the mask off the nonprofit industrial complex and expose the colonial logic hiding behind humanitarian language. From Gaza to Standing Rock, from Haiti to post-Katrina New Orleans, we break down how NGOs often serve empire, not the people. We follow the money, interrogate the savior complex, and show how Western donors dictate what can — and can’t — be said about injustice. We explore the growing backlash against NGO presence in occupied Palestine, and spotlight movements building power outside the NGO model. Featuring case studies like Grassroots Al-Quds and Mutual Aid Disaster Relief, this episode asks: What happens when the people refuse to be “saved”?

The Global War on Terror: The Empire Behind the Mask

The Global War on Terror wasn’t about justice. It wasn’t about freedom. It was about power, profit, and propaganda. In this episode, we dismantle the official story. From the lies that led to Iraq, to the surveillance state built at home, to the trillions funneled into private military contracts — we follow the money, name the names, and expose the ideology of endless war. We also draw direct lines to our last episode on the myth that the United States spreads democracy, showing how empire cloaks itself in virtue while waging destruction abroad and repression at home. This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a wake-up call.
