Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2023.0D.03. Peace, Propaganda and the Truth Everyone in Alternative Media Knows about Israel's Settlercolonial Mentality

Originally, I had to planned to publish this episode alongside 0D.02, on January 1st, but events conspired to prevent its publishing. Now I am glad I waited. Who could have foreseen the unfolding of events that have transpired over the last 2 months? This episode segment seems far more timely now, then it would have seen then. The episode segment begins with a conversation about the word Settlercolonialism, yes I spell this phrase as a compound word. Why, the reason is simple; when set as a phrase each word is considered independent from the other, giving the illusion of a basic though separable connection. As a compound word, this illusion is removed. We come to see the phrase as inseparable as an idea requiring both components to be completed. Understanding this spelling will go alongway towards understanding why Israel’s actions reveal so much about the colonial projects began over 500 years ago. The segment continues with my recounting a non-fiction story I started writing as a young man (one I never finished). Its connection to Israel’s, Gaza offensive will not surprise you. Then I arrive at the meat of the episode; I talk about the great gift Israel’s attack has given to the world (yes you read that correctly, a gift).

Today we talk with Dr. Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian physician who has for many years spent much of his time working in the Gaza medical system, which he thoroughly understands. He is outspoken in his advocacy for Palestine, as you will hear, in his analysis of the genocidal crisis Gaza faces today. In particular, he speaks about Israel’s unrelenting attacks on hospitals and medical facilities as well as the even less protected civilian society.

In all the mind-bending human disasters, some hope evolution can save us. Maine Professor Tim Waring studied that. He worries evolutionary design may stop humans from solving climate change. Meanwhile in these times of turmoil, Antarctica is accelerating into massive ice loss. According to new science, a major meltdown can happen not in thousands of years, but less than 200. That leads to a new age of rapid sea level rise around the world. Royal Society Research Professor Eric Wolff explains.

Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2023.26.00. Immigration, the Contradictory belief held by so many WEAPs, #Immigration, #EllisIsland, #ClimateChange
With Clips from Dixon White, Crash Course, Mr. Burnett's Social Studies Classes, ABA Immigration, CNBC Television, CBS News, KHOU 11, KTLA 5, Reuters, Txcomptroller & KXAN
So this is another episode I recorded for 2023 but didn’t have time to release it. Obviously you can tell by the title, this episode surrounds immigration. Allowing the focus of the episode to develop slowly; I sought to explain to the listener a few topics which would help them understand immigration as an outlet for Capital exploitation. Beginning with a topic seldom mentioned in historical context, that being the role of the Negro in regulating domestic wages; I use this as a springboard to discuss the hypocrisy of the White Working classes obsession with stopping the illegals from taking their jobs, a hypocrisy which resulted in that class attacking the non-white instead of attacking those who benefitted from putting them into the positions they found themselves in – namely the bosses and operators of the businesses. Here is the central pillar to this entire immigration controversy; Capitalists like immigration because the desperation of the immigrants encourages them to take jobs at a much lower pay rate than the domestic workers who would otherwise populate the job. These domestic workers, in the United States they are white (the phrase Working Class omits this fact, though arguments including the phrase are targeted at a white audience), do not find fault with the managers and bosses who use the immigrants as economic pawns, instead they act as if they are subjects of the Kings and Princes of the Industry they work in, attacking the “outsiders” as if they were invaders on their lordships lands. I know this is an odd way to explain this contradiction, but the history of Capitalism invites this interpretation; a long time ago (about 120-150 years ago) people who had complete command of their business sector were literally called Titans (Gods) or Lords or in rare cases Kings, likening their wealth and prestige to that gathered by their feudal counterparts in a bygone era. If the descriptive were apt and applied throughout the entire business enterprise; the domestic workers would be their subjects (but you already knew this). The reason I wanted to emphasize this is because I have heard economists address the idea that Capitalism had commonalities with Feudalism; just about all were dismissive of the idea; this concept sort of bites back at their rebuff. But this episode is not about proving or disproving this connection. Immigration, in a “healthy” functioning Capitalist society is a net good because it creates a labor surplus and that surplus enables “competition” between the laboring class to remain high, thus encouraging lower wages from the owners of industries. Immigration, therefore is preferable in a Capitalist society, exactly because it is not beneficial to the masses of laboring domestic citizens. As you dive into this episode this point will be drawn out significantly, allowing the listener to see the “immigration crisis” through another perspective and lens. I suspect I will come back to this topic before the end of this year (2024), as the topic is evolving and changing in a way which further comments will likely be necessary. Hope you enjoy the episode.

Class War Battlefield Podcast Episode 2023.0D.02. Understanding the Fall of the International Liberal Order i.e. The United Nations by the Signs of Degeneration
With Clips from ABC News, Noah Zerbe, Democracy Now!, TLDR News, Beau of the Fifth Column, Activist News Network & Secular Talk
The heaviest episode I have ever produced. Watching the United States stand alone in vetoing the immediate call for a ceasefire in Gaza started my mind up. Listening to the pleas by other countries while reading the disappointed statements by diplomats from within those countries, revealed something that haunted me for days before I recorded this episode. People were fed up with the security council, they were fed up with the in action and noticeably Eurocentric (Western-centric, U.S-centric) policies that had prevented the world from not only addressing the tragedy in Palestine but also problems with inequality, problems with climate change, problems with human trafficking and much more. Rumbling began to rise to the surface of discontent within the body underneath the security council and cracks began to show in the liberal order the U.N was a primary instrument of. Sure, if truth is to be told, the liberal orders had formed significant cracks during the Cold War years, but the third world used its tiny might to repair it constantly, infusing it with new blood every time Europe and its imperial spawns, did something which jeopardized its longevity. Well, the third world is no longer accepting that responsibility seeing how they are the frontlines for the impacts of Climate Change, War on Terrorism proxy wars and actions, and still bare the unhealed scares from the international political activities from those Cold War games, which saw former colonial subjects terrorized by regimes put into power to continue former imperial relationships. People remember the results from those actions and how the liberal order refused to hold to account those Westerners who took part in those activities, thus there is little motivation to uphold an order that disrespects human rights while claiming to uphold them. This is the backdrop for today’s episode. Prepare yourself, it truly is the heaviest episode I’ve ever produced.
