Buy Dr. Vasquez’s book:‘Huey P. Newton: I am We’ (Polity Books, 2026)https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=huey-p-newton-i-am-we--9781509543335https://linktr.ee/drdeliovasquezYou may think you know Huey P. Newton or how he died, but decades of slander, simplification federal misinformation, sensationalism and even deification can obscure who the founder of the greatest revolutionary party in American history - The Black Panther Party, really was and why his life ended the way it did.Dr. Delio Vasquez demystifies and humanizes Huey in the proper context of a deep thinker, philosopher, and champion of the oneness of humanity. Dr. Vasquez also explores and reveals the sinister mind warfare programs waged by the government against black revolutionaries and movements, which ranged from torture, psychosurgery, drugs and electro-energy weapons- many of which were used against Huey Newton to drive him into his end state and the state of so many pillars of humanity.

The US has been heavily involved in Oceania since the 2nd World War. Now that US bases in West Asia have been destroyed in the Iran war, is it finally time for the Pacific Pivot?With US munitions drained by yet another West Asia war and its Gulf bases battered, Washington's long-promised "Pivot to Asia" is back on the table. This week on Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast your hawkish uncle will hate, we head to Aotearoa/New Zealand with Dr. Nathan Rew of The University of Waikato, and Bianca Ranson of Kaiawhina Tamaki. New Zealand is a microcosm of how the US empire manages its rivals and its vassal states alike. We cover: 🔻 The Pacific Pivot: how Obama's 2011 "Rebalance to Asia" became permanent US doctrine, and what it means for governance, daily life, and land sovereignty in New Zealand 🔻 Five Eyes: what the intelligence alliance is, how it expands US reach in the region, whether it provokes China, and what Kash Patel is after 🔻 The Pacific Islands Forum: can small island states shape the Indo-Pacific order, or are they being turned into pawns over climate finance, rare earth minerals, and maritime control? Is the Forum compromised, and why is Israel a partner? 🔻 China vs. the US: who is the real threat in great-power competition? 🔻 Resistance: the nuclear-free Pacific, Indigenous land rights, and the Māori protest movement 🔻 Election season: New Zealand's hard-right government and its problematic oppositionYou can Follow Bianca and org here: https://www.instagram.com/kaiawhina_tamaki?vrfl=MXZpOWdhbTRoaGJqdQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

We need to be looking to November-January where the most dangerous political developments are going to happen. Independent journalist and Green Party congressional candidate Sam Husseini joins Greg and Mark to talk about third parties, ethics in journalism, and what representatives could do if they weren’t afraid to oppose empire. Plus: why the lame-duck session matters, and what Section 219 of the NDAA means for U.S.–Israel military entanglement. We really need to be looking forward to the insanity that will be going down from November 4th to January 8th as the Trump Administration, likely on the back foot, will have its last chance to push through whatever it can, Justices, Laws, withdraw the filibuster, conduct military actions against Cuba, who knows? We don’t know, but we DO KNOW that whatever imperial actions the trump administration takes, the democrats will not resist.

We are stuck grappling with the possibility there is no voting our way out of any of this and the lives our parents promised us might not actually pan out. So let’s have a little chat. Today we are joined by the Burqas and Beer Podcast, hosted by Afghan-Angeleno social worker Madina Warkdak and fellow Angelino social worker Kyna Wise, a podcast where two two millennial mental health professionals unpack the world, one slightly-chaotic conversation at a time. From decolonizing wellness to raging about the news, they cover politics, culture, identity, and the awkward art of existing—all from the cozy dysfunction of their walk-in closet.

This episode is ad-free at https://www.rfemedia.com/ To learn about indigenous history is to learn that the foundational myth of the United States is that the American Revolution wasn’t actually a revolution, it was instead a fight over colonial sovereignty. Colonial elites wanted to expand west beyond Appalachia while the British imperialists, concerned with the maintenance of Empire, did not have the patience to fight another costly frontier war that would gain them little. It’s also to learn that if the British prosecuted the war the colonists did against the indigenous tribes, or how they prosecuted campaigns in Africa or India, which were inherently g-sidal - there would be no United States. But you can’t biological warfare, mass starve, and immolate your third cousins and return to London society with martial honor. Because the colonists were humans. The First Nations, the Africans, the peoples of Hindustan, were not. So when conservatives adjacent to the Palestine movement say - we’ve been Israelified. This isn’t who we are, we’re occupied. What do you mean - this has always been what we’ve done. The mask off of the Trump administration is simply us coming back to ourselves minus all the post-Vietnam civil rights window dressing. We have a very important episode for you today and we hope you listen to it in its entirety, which you can do ad-free and for free at RFEmedia.com.

Our society exhibits a suicidal lack of empathy. We are witnessing mass death, violence, displacement on a global scale, all normalized and obfuscated by generations of bourgeois media and propaganda. How do we begin to push back against it in order to fight for a more sane, sustainable, and equitable world? In this episode of Colonial Outcasts we go inside the isolated and near-invisible world of US women’s prisons with former defense attorney and photojournalist Sarah Bennet. She is the author of “Looking Inside: Women with Life Sentences,” a long-term photographic project about women convicted of homicide and sentenced to life in New York State. The book follows them inside prison, after release, and in everyday life afterward, using portraits plus personal materials like letters, drawings, Polaroids, and handwritten notes to show that they are more than the crime that led to their sentences. The project resists stereotypes and asks readers to consider how punishment, memory, identity, and rehabilitation shape a life over decades. This is a challenging topic. Hope you enjoy!
