Hello and welcome to or welcome back to Colonial Outcast, the anti-imperialist podcast that your uncle would hate.

And to be fair, I've been reading some of y'all's comments, and some of your uncles apparently don't actually hate this podcast, so I might have to update the catchphrase, eventually.

But if you don't get the joke, because other people

don't get the joke, I'll say it's somewhat peculiar, peculiar, excuse me, to America,

and I'll just say this. I have a couple of uncles who have very problematic views on immigration,

policing, and the U.S. investment in foreign wars. I know I'm not alone in that, and they would absolutely hate this episode.

So let's get into it. Now that the U.S. elections are over, and President-elect Donald Trump has

assembled his cabinet nominees, the Avengers squad of God's own problematic idiots, who, if confirmed

by the Senate, will only speed the decline of U.S.

Imperium, we are going to re-center the ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing in Palestine and the failed ground maneuver in southern Lebanon, the ill-fated Operation Northern Arrows.

And you've got it.

This is another operational breakdown episode. So I'm your host,

Greg Stoker, a former U.S. Army Ranger, and I'm joined by regular contributors, Travis, a former

field grade artillery officer and Matthew Enderline, a former infantry officer, now currently living

in Beirut. Thanks so much for coming on, y'all.

Great to be back.

All right. So first of all, got to do the plug. We're trying to actually be able to pay contributors

and flex us out into a more professional platform. I mean, this podcast has been going on less

than a year. But we're on Patreon. If you'd like exclusive content only to be found there, check us out.

And if you're picking up what we're putting down, consider subscribing.

And if you're getting nickeled and dine by late stage finance capitalism,

we're just glad you're here, like, share, and subscribe.
