Colonial Outcasts

This week felt like a turning point.While most headlines focus on rising tensions with Iran and the possibility of wider conflict, a series of U.S. military operations—reportedly including “Operation Epic Fury” and “Operation Total Extermination”—are expanding across multiple regions with barely any public scrutiny. From strikes in the Caribbean to escalating actions near the Colombia–Ecuador border, the scope of what’s happening right now is bigger than most people realize.At the same time, we’re watching the national security state expand at home—ICE presence in airports, increasing surveillance, and political rhetoric that feels more extreme by the day. And somehow, we’re told all of this is for our benefit.Then we’re joined by Dr. Hilary Agro—anthropologist, organizer, and abolitionist educator—to tackle a question that feels more urgent than ever:Can people with harmful or contradictory political beliefs actually change?We talk about:- Why organizing the working class means engaging with people you disagree with- The psychology of political identity and belief formation- Why some people are open to change—and others aren’t- The challenges of bridging divides in an era of polarization- What it actually takes to build movements rooted in collective care and liberationIf we’re serious about building a better world, we have to figure out how to reach people—not just write them off.You can follow Dr. Agro here:https://www.youtube.com/@DrHilaryAgrohttps://www.youtube.com/@DrHilaryAgrohttps://hilaryagro.com/2025/10/15/can-people-with-bad-political-beliefs-change/https://www.instagram.com/hilaryagro/

We're back for another war analysis but this time we're going to be focusing on the economic aspects and contradictions regarding the latest military misadventure in West Asia. Boots on the ground, market manipulations and the fun insanity of everyday existence. Enjoy y'all!

Dr. Katie Keene-Montgomery, an organizational anthropologist, National Guard veteran, and author, explores how systems, culture, and language make powerful narratives feel inevitable. She breaks down a six-layer consent-manufacturing loop. Conversations cover how economic interests, elite networks, funded think tanks, official framing, media filters, and polling together sustain persistent threat stories.

Elina Xenophantos, commentator and analyst on anti-imperialism and geopolitics. She tracks the Iran conflict’s human toll, hidden information flows, and media spin. Short, sharp takes on Gulf complicity, petrodollar politics, and how regional moves tie into global US‑China rivalry. Fast‑moving analysis with strategic context.

Alina Xenophantos, a Cyprus-based geopolitical commentator, analyzes NATO movements and regional fallout from the Iran conflict. She discusses evangelical-driven warmongering and its political uses. Alina maps strikes on U.S. and Israeli assets, explains Iran’s tactics and drone advantage. She also examines NATO’s Cyprus buildup and Gulf states reassessing ties amid escalating instability.

We talk about the files, the Dow being at 50k, the Super Bowl Empire Show, and soooo much more.We aren't paywalling this episode because it's too good. See y'all next week!

Hello and Welcome to or Welcome back to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that your Ex-MAGA uncle turned Zionist Occupied Government theorist will at first hate, but might actually learn something from if he sticks around to listen. He might learn something about his own class in opposition to the ruling class, the Epstein Class, which he is not a part of - and why just pinning it all on Israel is the Psyop THEY all want you to embrace. Israel has been happy to be the fall guy for US Empire for decades now and We are going to be talking about the information operations surrounding the release of the Epstein Files, how this is a managed and timed release to uphold and preserve the political and economic structure of capitalism, and how the US and Israel became symbiotically merged  into one overriding architecture of extraction, exploitation, and violence. 

This is Terrible.This is our follow up episode to the last Venezuela episode we released this past Saturday. There has been a torrent of information and analysis released since then and a reinvigorated push for heedless domination coming out of the Whitehouse - to discuss this, special operations propaganda, diaspora politics, the seizure of a Russian Flagged Oil tanker off the coast of Iceland and what this all means for the future of geopolitics and the working class, we are joined as usual by Elina Xenophontos. Fun times in the most sarcastic way possible, too bad we only have an hour to discuss the most salient points of what is going on right now.

Hello and welcome to colonial outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that is doing a special Saturday episode because we have to come to the Fall of the Roman Republic 2.0 where to empire is unmasked in a might-makes-right era of unceasing resource driven wars of domination waged with zero moral pretext or Casus Belli - the one difference is that the average roman citizen may have been lucky enough to receive an infrequent large cash distribution, a land allotment for the destitute in conquered territories, or access to vital resources like grain from Egypt, and metals from Spain, which lowered costs of living. None of that will be happening for you or the people of Venezeula as a result of this imperialist intervention. There will be no trickle down economics coming from the privatization of Venezuela’s oil sector.
