Juno Beach is a left-wing podcast made by two idiot Canadian university students with nothing better to do
Music: Don't Tell Mum I'm In Chechnya In 1999, a series of mysterious bombings killed hundreds across the Russian Federation. In their wake, questions swirled about government involvement, Russia went to war, and a mysterious and virtually unknown former spy named Vladimir Putin took power. Follow along as we explore the Russian Deep State and its intricacies.
Juno Beach returns after a long hiatus for an impromptu discussion on what we see in the future of Canada and Britain's monarchy following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the accession of King Charles III to the throne.
We bring Haakon from World of Westminster back on the show to talk about British politics of the late Victorian Age - discussing Gladstone and Disraeli, and how politics in Britain reacted to the Crimean War, the Home Rule Movement, and Britain's ever-expanding, ever-more-powerful global empire and hyperpower status.
We talk about why everyone except us is a bloodthirsty fascist, why war is bad, and add some more evidence to the big "our deputy prime minister is a nazi symathiser" pile, and give a guide to the lies that western media is telling you about Ukraine.
We issue a mea culpa for our understimation of the right-wing Trucker Convoy last week, then discuss the ouster of Erin O'Toole as leader of the Tory Party, and the freakish behaviour of western journalists regarding the Beijing 2022 Olympics in China.
NOTE: This episode was recorded BEFORE the "freedom" convoy arrived in Ottawa, we'll get you our thoughts on its actual presence next episode. We discuss the impending "freedom" convoy heading towards Ottawa and dispel a few misconceptions regarding a recent military coup in Burkina Faso.
We quickly discuss the hijinks, frauds and tax evasions of Prince Harry and Megan, and then tackle the Ukraine crisis.
We invite on Haakon from World of Westminster to talk in incredible detail about British politics during the Napoleonic period. This is part two of last episode. Follow Haakon on instagram @worldofwestminster

We discuss the aims, actions and messed up behaviour of the Black Hammer political cult, and discuss the weighty yet common accusation often thrown at political groups - being a glowie.
Firstly, we apologize for the audio issues but we're not re recording or letting it rot. In this episode, Declan and Malcolm do another debate, this time about the role of the Canadian Monarchy.
In a long-awaited return to the news roundup, we discuss an unsurprising new twist in the way the Canadian government treats indigenous people, Jeff Bezos as the ultimate sigma male, the Royal Family beginning to break their political silence to trash Elon Musk, and, as usual, Grimes being cool.
We review the 2012 Sci-Fi Action masterpiece Dredd, starring Olivia Thirlby, Karl Urban and Lena Headey, and the interesting things it has to say about police brutality, the social contract, and ultraviolence.
We have a short, unscripted episode to talk about the Canadian election results, the future of left-wing politics in this country, and a particular "Semen Retention Soldier" from Saint John, New Brunswick
After Malcolm unfortunately reveals what stereotypically gay drinks they have in their fridge, we discuss the strange character of Charles De Gaulle, a man who was invariably dictator, president, private citizen and head of the military high command of France, and the strange coup of 1958 that brought him to power.
We hold ourselves accountable for misinformation we spread last episode, then discuss Trudeau's rapidly declining electoral prospects, the impotence of the Tories, and the lunacy of the People's Party of Canada
In our first ever in-person episode, we first give a sponsor message from Chic-Fil-A PR, then have a stream-of-consciousness roundup of the upcoming Canadian Federal Election in 2021!
We review the critically acclaimed film The Suicide Squad. Is it the only good superhero movie? Is it crypto-leftist? Who are the real bad guys? Listen to find out!
After a quick memorial to comedian and local sexpot Trevor Moore, we discuss the 100 Years War, Shakespeare's Henry V, and the real-life Battle of Agincourt. We go over how it went, King Henry's War Crimes, and review the themes in the play, before talking about contemporary, historical and modern perspectives on the play, battle, and the aforementioned crimes.
Today, August 9th 2021, is the 76th Anniversary of the Nuclear Bombing of Nagasaki, Japan. Continuing from last episode. special guest Hailey @Roun_Sa_Ville discusses with us the politics of dropping the bomb, as well as the harrowing experiences of those who experienced it. Many thanks to Hailey for these two episodes. General CW: Painful death and descriptions of Acute Radiation Sickness.
Today is the 76th anniversary of the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima. This terrible display of force completely levelled the city, killing up to 126,000 civilians. Today, it is still the commonly accepted view in popular history that the bombing of Hiroshima, and another city called Nagasaki 3 days later, was necessary to bring about Japan's unconditional surrender. To this end, we welcome historian and nuclear abolitionist Hailey @Roun_Sa_Ville on to help tear down these insidious myths and challenge the narratives that have built up around nuclear weapons and their use. Part 2 will come out on August 9th, the anniversary of the Nagasaki Bombing.
As Declan returns with a no-longer-broken jaw, we dive into who killed Haitian President Jovenel Moise and also talk a bit of Star Trek.
All the way from Georgia, we welcome on Luka of The Acheron in Motion - a brilliant translator, interpreter, and cataloguer of Marxist works that have been traditionally inaccessible in the English language. Luka helps to put some perspective on one of the most celebrated, yet least understood leftists in history - Róża Luksemburg, or Rosa Luxemburg. You can follow Luka on twitter @TheAcherons and see his website at https://theacheron.medium.com/ Thank you so much!
Declan has had his jaw wired shut in the hospital, so while we wait for his Kanye West moment, have a guest and a Cruella review!
With it looking more and more like a professional hit, and less like the murder-suicide that Police originally believed or a deranged family member, Juno Beach revisits an older topic. We further examine the murders of Big Pharma Billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman and the potential culprits, ranging from: an Israeli Pharmaceutical Conglomerate, a failed businessman and possible Hamiltonian mobster, and their own son. NOTE: All the information in this episode is from factual sources however any theories which we may draw are simply that: theories.
We bring back vaunted guest Lauren Ashcraft to discuss New York Municipal politics in the leadup to the 2021 Democratic Primary and Municipal Election there. Subscribe to Lauren's Podcast on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoTWggjXZxa3QETXHCMsPZw

We open with the intersection of progressive politics and the security state, then talk about the US-backed neoliberal regime in Colombia and the various human rights abuses they have commit in the past in regards to the deadly 2021 anti-austerity protests, and finally do a bit of wonk analysis of the Super Thursday May 6th elections in the UK.
We discuss the second funniest figure in British politics, Home Secretary Priti Patel, her life and career, and someof her more zany ideas (like building a wall in the English Channel).
Lots of stuff today. We talk the conviction of Derek Chauvin and the ghoulish attempts of the Democratic Party to turn George Floyd from a victim to a martyred hero who sacrificed himself for milquetoast racial justice reforms. Then, we move on to the Holy Alliance of the Royal Family and Football Hooligans, Russian dissident Alexei Navalny being a loser, the Canadian Federal Budget and Israel lying again (big suprise!).
We discuss the increasingly deteriorating situation in the Donbass between Ukraine and Novorossiya, the looming war between Iran and Israel, and some more humourous stuff that the democratic party is messing up.

What started a review ended up more of an explanation, given the nature of the film we're tackling today: Christopher Nolan's newest action thriller Tenet. Pretty good movie.
As we hit a stack of episodes, we return to our socialists series to discuss the life and work of famous anti-Authoritarian, Socialist and Freedom Fighter George Orwell - aka Eric Blair - to explain some of his misunderstood actions, shed light on his misunderstood novels, and flesh out his misunderstood ideology. We also make fun of various authoritarians, Dream-tier ideological speedrunners, and people who have opinions on Animal Farm without having read it. Orwell > Stalin.
We do a fashion rating of President Biden's inauguration, and then discuss American foreign policy and how it will change under the Biden administration.
