Colonial Outcasts

Hello and welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that both your MAGA and/or Hindutva Uncle would absolutely hate. Turns out you can both be a hindu nationalist, yearning for the establishment of the Hindu Rahstra, and a white supremacist who loves Trump. We have a special guest Tamkenat Mansoor, fellow activist and political commentator coming to us from Lahore Pakistan to talk about what is happening in the region.

Here on Colonial Outcasts we are becoming accustomed to covering controversial and polarizing conflicts where no matter how balanced you try to be you’re gonna catch heat-rounds - Russia/Ukrain, Syria, and now Kashmir. I know many of you are not familiar with the situation in Kashmir and why It matters to you, but I’ll say this and this is my boiler plate perspective. Palestine has been occupied by Israel since 1948, Kashmir has been largely occupied by India since 1947. Both Supremacist ideologies. And since governments learn from each other, military officers and politicians in India’s command echelon are looking at the Annexation of the West Bank and are judging it more likely, since Israel has set a blatant precedent, that they can get away with something similar in Kashmir.

Checking off a critical bucket list item: Colonial Outcasts officially coronates its alliance with Irish resistance against colonialism and imperialism via an unapologetic scattershot harangue with Jake, lead the singer of The Shan Vans, a Belfast-based Irish-language rock band blending high-energy sound with a radical political message. Rooted in anti-imperialism and Irish resistance, their music champions decolonization, cultural revival, and international solidarity. Released last month, their third and latest single The Shan Van, a powerful anti-genocide anthem, forms the centerpiece of Unite Against Genocide, their Ireland-Palestine solidarity project which involved over 100 artists and contributors worldwide. Jake draws on themes of resistance, decolonization, and cultural memory, influenced by his upbringing in the early OOs in one of the most politically active communities in Ireland, Ballymurphy. Singing in Irish, Jake blends personal and political narratives, often weaving together themes of decolonization, Irish mythology, radical poetry, and contemporary global struggles. www.instagram.com/theshanvans www.x.com/theshanvans https://awkwardvoicebl... #music #kneecap #ireland #irish #war #politics #coachella #punk #rock #genz #belfast

Today we are joined by John Kiriakou - CIA Whistleblower and former intelligence analyst and operations officer for the CIA's Counterterrorism Center - he was integral in exposing the CIA’s enhanced interrogation program in 2007 and did some time for it. For the audience, a rough outline - the legacy of the Iraq War, US/Israel relations and the current internal administration drama about the Iran Nuclear Deal, and the expansion of Guantanamo bay and the CECOT prison in El Salvatore. As the kids say, it’s giving extraordinary rendition. You can follow John here: https://www.instagram.com/realjohnkiriakou/ https://x.com/JohnKiriakou https://unifyd.tv/pages/johnkiriakou-new
