***Adnan Husain invited me to join him and Rabab Abdulhadi for livestream conversation on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 WTC attacks. This is first hour! We continued for another hour plus! To listen to the entire episode subscribe on Patreon or watch the episode on the EIAP YouTube channel***   Friday is the 25th Anniversary of 9/11/2001 and all that followed from the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon: the launching of the "Global War on Terrorism", the wars and occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the drone campaigns across Africa and Asia, the securitization and surveillance regimes threatening political rights, the globalizing of paradigms of Islamophobia. What do imperial/imperialist commemorations "forget" as if history began on 9/11/2001 or 10/7/2023? Some talk about the GWOT as history, but has it ended? The anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect upon the last twenty five years and the contrasts and continuities with contemporary conditions.

Some of you may know that around 48 hours ago,  I received notice from YouTube that they were closing my account for violating their policy on "Violent Criminal Organizations."  I appealed the ruling, and it was rejected.  After a massive online campaign, I got notice this morning that my channel had been restored (with one video removed and a strike added to my account). Jay from Millennials are Killing Capitalism and Adnan from the Adnan Husain Show   joined me for a livestream discussion of  what happened and the wider web of censorship that seems to be sweeping through Westoid social media. Watch the video edition on The East is a Podcast YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvnMo2Vu3UU At the end of the episode, Adnan and I mentioned two separate fundraisers.
