Scott talks to Dave DeCamp about what’s going on in the various corners of America’s would-be empire. In Afghanistan, as predicted, the Taliban have been making gains against the Afghan government as the U.S. military withdraws—but the Biden administration’s withdrawal is still tepid, as they plan to keep a small number of troops to protect the embassy and to keep funding the Afghan military until at least 2022. In Iraq, things might be even worse, since DeCamp thinks the recent announcement that the U.S. is ending its “combat mission” is nothing more than a PR move that redefines the mission without actually changing it. Scott and DeCamp also touch on Yemen, Russia, China and Israel. Discussed on the show: “U.S. Troops to Withdraw From Iraq—on Paper at Least” (Foreign Policy) “British Warships Enter South China Sea” (Antiwar.com) “US Air Force to send dozens of F-22 fighter jets to the Pacific amid tensions with China” (CNN) “Opinion | What Ben & Jerry’s Has to Do With Israel and Cybersecurity” (The New York Times) “‘It shows that BDS works’: Wafic Faour on how a group of Vermont activists got Ben & Jerry’s to move” (Mondoweiss) “Poll finds a quarter of US Jews think Israel is ‘apartheid state’” (The Times of Israel) Dave DeCamp is the assistant news editor of Antiwar.com.

Has it been a year already?! Apparently it has, as SPC hits it’s 52nd episode, and we circle back to one of the first characters we looked at way back in episode #2 – one Nicholas J. Fury. In 2014 good old “David Hasselhoff Nick Fury” had been shunted to the side in the Marvel continuity for his younger, blacker counterpart, “Samuel Jackson Nick Fury”, but Marvel wasn’t quite done with the character just yet. Instead, they gave us this 8 issue mini-series and 17 million spinoffs, as characters across the MCU have their deepest, darkest secrets revealed after The Watcher is murdered and his eyes are stolen, containing all the world’s secrets! If it sounds absurd that’s because it is, but if you think that’s out there, just wait until you find out what “sins” ‘old Nick Fury has secretly been up to all these years. Marc and Remso dig into all the sordid details as they battle their way through Marvel’s “Original Sin!”

Matt Kibbe sits down with Lily Tang Williams, a survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution, to discuss her concerns about the direction America is going. Having fled the horrors of Chinese communism, Williams is dismayed to see public health officials openly admiring the Chinese government’s authoritarian approach to disease control. Not only that, but the type of critical race theory being pushed in American schools resembles Chinese propaganda that seeks to divide people into “oppressor” groups and “oppressed” groups. We see Americans reporting each other to the government, as Mao encouraged his citizens to do, and the proposed vaccine passports resemble China’s social credit system. Mao’s policies ended up killing tens of millions of people; it’s vital that we not repeat his mistakes here at home.

Scott interviews journalist Mark Curtis about his investigations into the UK role in the wars in Syria and Yemen. Regarding Yemen, Britain has long denied any involvement in that war, says Curtis, but it’s now been revealed that they, like the U.S., have been helping the Saudi coalition for years. The precise nature of the help the British government is giving isn’t exactly clear, but it likely involves the same things the Americans have been doing all along: training Saudi troops, assisting them with bomb targeting and providing weapons and spare parts, without which they could never wage this war. Curtis also reiterates just how desperate the situation is for the civilian population of Yemen, who have been facing what the UN calls the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Curtis and Scott also discuss the British government’s efforts to promote regime change in Syria. Discussed on the show: “Revealed: The UK has spent £350-million promoting regime change in Syria” (Declass...
