You got told a lot of lies about a cheat man.

They called you when they got you to believe it.

Thumb and finger held to their foreheads in an L show trapped in a capital of salescape.

Let's fight back in have some talks about class in the massive costs of the disasters.

Blots are fascists and Nazis and Nazis and Nazis.

It's a thousand natural shocks.

A bad with money podcast.

Hello and welcome to A Thousand Natural Shocks.

I'm your host, Gabe Dunn.

And this week on the show, we have Alistair Kitchen, who is an Australian writer and former Columbia student, who was detained by Border Patrol and told explicitly that it was for his

quote, pro-Palestinian writings, which is work he did covering the protests at Columbia and the

encampment at Columbia, asking for a ceasefire and against the genocide against the Palestinians.

Alistair was not particularly radical.

He was very nuanced in his coverage and very nuanced in his opinion about the situation,

but on his way into the States, he was pulled aside and detained.

It was a harrowing experience for him, and the piece he wrote about it was incredibly moving and frustrating.

At one point, they take his phone and go through all of his photos, asking him to open his hidden folder.

They play mind games with him, being vague about timeline or when he's going to be able to contact any of his loved ones,

he has essentially disappeared underground. Eventually, he realizes he can call his consulate,

but nobody gives him that option. He has to figure that out on his own. This is just a taste

of what other people have gone through. Alistair is Australian, and so he had resources to be able to get out of the situation.

But it's really scary, and I'm honored to share his story.
