  • Spot on. Glorious. Incredible. Poetic.

    Poetic, gracefully-worded assaults on repression. Wake up and smell the dumpster fire. We have no excuses to be doing nothing to stop the empire’s decimation of the planet and its inhabitants.

    Also, Free Palestine.

  • Caitlin Johnstone

    I love the almost lyrical nature of the writings that get right down to the disgusting mess that this world is in. Caitlin puts into words the feelings that i feel but don’t have the vocabulary or the skill to express.

  • The best ones out there!

    This is by far the best podcast that covers the political injustice and genocide in Palestine. So good in fact that I’m going to donate some money to them. Keep doing the great work! Everyone should know all of this!
