Hello everyone, I just want to say thank you to all of those who have listened to the podcast and supported me from the start. This will likely be the last episode of this show - BUT! It is not the end! You will hopefully see me elsewhere in other projects, interviewing on other shows, and maybe soon a program I can once again be proud of.
Here are my final reflections on In Defense of Liberation, my life, the ongoing genocide, the need to fight and support the struggle for liberation all over the globe, and the regret that comes with inaction and fear.
Be well folks, hope to speak soon!

Peter Beattie is an Assistant Professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong who focuses on Political Psychology and Global Political Economy. He is also one-half of the wonderful program BettBeat Media which can be found on YouTube and Substack, with Karim Bettache.
In this episode, me and Peter discuss what the studies of Political Psychology and Political Economy mean, how they help us to understand current global affairs and events, how propaganda and media misinformation dilute many peoples ability to comprehend the current situation we are in, and how understanding these things helps us to struggle for a better tomorrow.
Thank you very much to Peter for coming onto the show, and I look forward to speaking again in the future, hopefully with Karim!
Solidarity to you all!
Glory to the Martyrs!
Long live Resistance!
In this episode, I discussed how Capitalism came into being, broadly, and how this process and its contradictions have led us to where we are today. I speak generally about how Feudalism was thrown into the dustbin of history through the collective action of the poor in alliance with the newly forming Capitalist class, and how this class of exploiters took advantage of the people's will to seize power for themselves.
We discuss the movement towards Capitalism, the transition from "Free Market Capitalism" to Imperialism, how Imperialism, monopolies, and crises are a part of Capitalism's natural development, and how this intrinsic logic led us to today.
In the next episode I intend to go deeper into the last 80-100 years to show how history doesn't exactly "repeat itself" but rather, comes in echoes.
All Power to the People!
Welcome to those tuning in for the first time, and to those coming back after a while, sorry for my absence/hiatus! I explain a bit in the episode where I've been and why I've not posted - but here's an upload!
In this episode I speak on the feeling of defeatism/doomerism, fear, and worry, and how to deal with these feelings. I also speak about the need to redouble our efforts against Colonialism and Imperialism worldwide and to view the current situation as a whole, not as individual or isolated parts. We discuss the victories of the Axis of Resistance, BRICS, and other forces opposing US/NATO imperialism globally, and how these victories are inherently victories for all of humankind!
All glory to the Martyrs, all love and respect to the resistance, and all power to the people!

I am honored to have been able to speak with Laith Marouf, co-founder of Free Palestine TV, and weekly guest on Activist News Network, to discuss a wide variety of topics such as his early life in a revolutionary household; immigration; student organizing and contradictions within so-called "Canada"; the media as it exists vs. potential options people could be building; Islam, Faith and its non-antagonism to revolutionary ideas, and most crucial, the importance of revolutionary optimism.
Thank you Laith, and thank you to our listeners, more soon inshallah!

In this episode, I discuss why I have been gone briefly, and speak on the recent assassination of Yahya Sinwar who was the Military and Political Leader of HAMAS, and an integral figure in the resistance movement. In his death, even after his martyrdom, we see he is still inspiring millions to fight and resist.
Asaalamu Alaykum, Peace and Love, All Power to the People!
