Geopolitics and Empire is joined by Brian Berlittich of the New Atlas Report, formerly known as Tony Cartilucci of the Land Destroyer Blog.

He's a prolific geopolitical analyst with a focus on Eurasia and especially color revolutions and regime change.

I've been reading and listening to him for years.

Thanks for being on the podcast, Brian. How is life in Thailand?

It's still pretty good. Speaking of color revolutions, we're watching one in progress right now

here in Thailand, also in neighboring Myanmar, and they're trying to get one started in Malaysia.

And so I will, we will probably get into that. And by the way, thank you very much for having me on. I was looking through all

of your videos. You have such a wide variety of points of view. So I'm really glad to be able to

add mine as well. Yeah, great to have you here.

As I said, I've been following you for years.

And maybe to start, we could start by hearing briefly about what got you into geopolitical analysis.

And if I'm not mistaken, you were a U.S. Marine.

And in many ways, like myself as an American, discovered that the way our American

politics and foreign policy function in reality are the complete opposite of what we're told

and, in fact, quite sinister in some respects.

Initially, you were pseudonymous using a pen name, but now you're writing and speaking in the

open. I, too, initially, when I started the podcast, was a bit

shy in using my real name, although I never hit it. So, you know, could you give us a quick

bio and tell us what drives your geopolitical analysis? So I joined the Marine Corps when I was 17 years

old, right out of high school. I was, I could describe myself at that time as very patriotic.

And I thought the military was a good way to protect my country, do my part.

That's why I signed up.
