The Turtle Island Liberation Front - the Antifa group the FBI caught trying to bomb major cities - has a manifesto calling for DEATH TO AMERICA on their IG.This is part 1 of a series where I'll read ‘and break down their insane propaganda.Decode The Left with Karlyn Borysenko is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode, I break down a thwarted New Year's Eve bombing plot in Los Angeles and expose how the political right, the DOJ, the FBI, and conservative media immediately misidentified the threat. Once again, the narrative collapsed into lazy clickbait framing rather than ideological analysis.The group involved, the Turtle Island Liberation Front, was universally described by conservative outlets as a “pro-Palestinian extremist organization.” That framing is wrong. Worse, it misses the actual threat entirely.This episode explains what Turtle Island actually means, why the group openly self-identifies as Antifa, and how land-back ideology, anti-capitalism, and revolutionary communism form the real core of the movement.What the Right Got WrongThe right fixated on Palestine because it fits a pre-approved outrage narrative. Influencers, media figures, and even federal officials ignored the group's own statements, branding, and ideology in favor of tying the plot to Muslims, Israel, and foreign terrorism.That framing is inaccurate and dangerous.Turtle Island is not Palestine. It is a decolonized name for North America used in indigenous and far-left revolutionary circles. The group's messaging is explicit. They describe themselves as Antifa. They call for the overthrow of the United States. They promote anti-capitalism, land-back politics, and revolutionary dismantling of American governance.This was not subtle. The group posted it publicly.What Turtle Island Liberation Front Actually IsThis episode walks through the group's own social media, statements, and videos, which openly call for:* Death to America as a political system* Abolition of capitalism and private property* Revolutionary decolonization of North America* Replacement of the U.S. government with tribal or collective control* Alignment with Antifa and communist revolutionary movementsPalestine appears in their messaging for one reason only. It serves as a symbolic example of settler colonialism under capitalism. The same framework is applied to the United States.Palestine is a talking point. America is the target.Why This Keeps HappeningThe right does not fail to understand the far left because of lack of information. It fails because it has no incentive to understand it.Accurate analysis does not go viral. Clickbait does.So instead of confronting an openly self-declared Antifa group calling for violent revolutionary change, conservative media reframed the story into anti-Muslim hysteria, Israel discourse, and foreign terror narratives that distract from the domestic ideological reality.The result is a national security blind spot that repeats every time.The Bottom LineThis was an Antifa communist revolutionary group plotting domestic terror. They said so themselves. They documented it. They branded it.And once again, the right ignored the giant flashing sign directly in front of them.If you do not understand your enemy, you cannot defeat them. This episode shows, in real time, that the right has chosen narratives over reality, and clicks over competence.Decode The Left with Karlyn Borysenko is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode, we talk about LANDBACK in the Black Hills. The battle for the Black Hills is the longest legal battle over land in the American judicial system. In 1980, the Supreme Court ruled that the stealing of the Black Hills was one of the most gross violations of the Constitution in US history. Nick is joined by revered Lakota elders and spiritual leaders Richard Moves Camp and Robert Two Crow, as well as NDN Collective President Wizipan Little Elk Garriott and HeSapa LANDBACK organizer Anissa Martin to reflect and discuss He Sapa LANDBACK efforts.

Turtle Island. Before there were countries—before anyone called this land the United States, or Canada, or Mexico—this was Turtle Island. A continent of nations, overlapping territories, trade routes stretching farther than modern highways, and relationships thousands of years old. Today, that history is being carried forward by contemporary Indigenous leaders at Fort Mason—San Francisco's skyline in the backdrop, summit banners hanging over a conversation that reaches far beyond the city around it. This is the First Nations Economic Compact.  You're in a conference room that usually sounds like quarterly forecasts, and suddenly Chief Redman is talking about an economic conversation older than all of that—older than the 1763 Royal Proclamation, older than colonial regulatory systems, older than the borders that now cut through nations whose trade routes once ran uninterrupted across the continent. Long before GDP, First Nations had their own economic indicators: ecological balance, kinship networks, sustainable yields, inter-nation reciprocity. Systems the Doctrine of Discovery tried to erase. Systems that survived genocide, forced relocations, and treaties—signed, coerced, or never signed at all. And yet: the nations remain. The economies remain. The knowledge remains. Here, leaders are talking about restoring ancient trade corridors, sharing resources through ancestral law, and building a bio-economy centered on stewardship and community resilience. While modern governments argue over tariffs and trade wars, First Nations are putting forward something older and more future-ready: a sovereign economic compact drawn from traditional trade logic and built for today's global market. "If someone doesn't want to deal with Canada or the United States… they can deal directly with First Nations," Chief Redman says. It isn't a request. It's a reminder. Suddenly, this summit doesn't sound like policy talk—it sounds like nations dusting themselves off and reintroducing themselves. Not as stakeholders. Not as interest groups. But as governments. This is what reconnection sounds like. What continuity sounds like. What a continent remembering itself sounds like. Tate Chamberlin is with Chief Redman. Stay with us. Music by Supaman

In this episode of the Thinking Christian podcast, Dr. James Spencer is joined by Dr. Daniel (Danny) Zacharias and Dr. Christopher Hoklotubbe, co-authors of Reading the Bible on Turtle Island: An Invitation to North American Indigenous Interpretation. Together they explore how Indigenous perspectives can help Christians read Scripture more faithfully on this land we often call North America—but which many Indigenous peoples know as “Turtle Island.” Danny and Chris explain the story of Turtle Island and why naming the land this way matters for Christian theology, discipleship, and biblical interpretation. They introduce “Turtle Island hermeneutics,” a way of reading the Bible that takes land, place, people, and history seriously—built on asset-based theology and the conviction that God was already present and active among Indigenous peoples long before European missionaries arrived. The conversation dives into: What “Turtle Island hermeneutics” is and how the medicine wheel shapes their approach Why it’s theologically flawed to act as if God was absent from North America before colonization How Indigenous creation stories and traditions can sit alongside Scripture without replacing it Reading Naboth’s vineyard as a lens on land theft, treaties, and the Doctrine of Discovery Parallels between the Trail of Tears, Babylonian exile, and Psalm 137 Babylon and boarding schools: how forced assimilation tried to erase Indigenous identity and memory How songs, stories, and ceremony preserve hope, faith, and cultural resilience Why discipleship must focus not only on doctrine, but on practices, place, and how we actually live This episode is for pastors, Bible teachers, seminary students, and everyday Christians who want to understand Indigenous theology, Native North American perspectives, and contextual Bible interpretation without abandoning a high view of Scripture.

I'm re-releasing this timely and important conversation about the Thanksgiving mythology that so many of us have been taught in school, which ignores the horrors of white settler colonialism that has exerted such violence and exploitation of the Native American communities. Instead, as Dr. Andrea Sullivan-Clarke reminds us, it is time for Americans to educate themselves about Native American history and indigenous philosophies, which have been whitewashed from so many American textbooks.To learn more about Andrea's scholarship and writing, please head to her website: https://asullivanclarke.com/You can find her book "Ways of Being in the World: An Introduction to Indigenous Philosophies of Turtle Island" here:⁠https://broadviewpress.com/product/ways-of-being-in-the-world/#tab-descriptionRemember to use the promo code ivorytower for 20% off your Broadview Press order!Follow ITBR on IG, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and TikTok, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ivorytowerboilerroom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Tanya Talaga is an award-winning author and journalist and a powerful voice for Indigenous rights and education in Canada.She's also a constituent, which is how we happened to connect again recently when she was hosted by the House Speaker together with other finalists for the Shaugnessy Cohen Prize in political writing.Talaga joined me a number of years ago at the Fox Theatre to talk about her 2017 award-winning book Seven Fallen Feathers.This conversation focuses on her recent book, The Knowing. It is a deeply personal story in which she traces her own family's history, and it is a story of Indigenous people in Canada, injustice, reclamation, and outlasting.With her own background one of both Anishinaabe and Polish descent, Talaga writes: “From the legacies of these dual branches of genocide, one on Turtle Island and one far off in eastern Europe - comes my knowing.”I recommend reading the book and you can also watch her docuseries at CBC Gem.

In episode six of the Courage My Friends' season nine, we welcome impact strategist with Animikii, Indigenous Technology, Jeff Doctor, technology and human rights lawyer with Tekhnos Law and senior fellow with The Citizen Lab, Cynthia Khoo, senior researcher with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood.  We discuss Canada's accelerated approach to artificial intelligence and the mobilization of civil society groups against it, multiple impacts of largely unregulated AI on people, planet and democracy, Indigenous perspectives on data sovereignty and digital colonialism and the meaning of AI beyond the hype. Reflecting on the government's accelerated AI development, Mertins-Kirkwood says: "There's definitely a distinct moment that's happening right now. A particular hype cycle, a push to adopt this current iteration of 'artificial intelligence', whatever that means … The question is why are we doing it. The way that the federal government in particular talks about AI is frankly very ideological … We need to adopt it for its own sake, independent of what that actually means … We're just kind of rushing without having a clear sense of where we're going." On civil society's objection to the "national sprint" consultation on AI, Khoo says: "...As people who are familiar with this field and topic … we're kind of appalled … AI has spread through so many spheres of society, it's not just a tech issue anymore, it's a whatever issue you care about … This 30-day "sprint" with leading language and incredibly narrow scoping from our government, it's frankly embarrassing. And just shows they're not really taking seriously the … empirically demonstrated … harms of AI and what's really at stake for everyone across the country. '" On the subject of data sovereignty, Doctor says: "Every technology has politics, Every technology is a product of its time … And enter this current moment where this magic bean of AI, this bundle of excuses comes together, that, oh we have to extract more, we have to mine more, we have to use more energy. As an Indigenous person this is nothing new to me … Indigenous territories, lands and peoples as sacrifice zones … for the greater good or for national sovereignty … Who's national sovereignty?" About today's guests:  Jeff Doctor is a Cayuga Nation citizen from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. As an Impact Strategist with Animikii, Jeff works with Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island to develop web applications that support their self-determination and digital sovereignty. Jeff also volunteers with Protect the Tract: a Haudenosaunee grassroots project that promotes healthy land stewardship of the Haldimand Tract, and is an artist-in-residence at the University of Toronto as a member of the Akni:ho'gwa:s Artist Collective.Jeff has an MA in sociology and a decade of experience supporting Indigenous data sovereignty from the ground up. His focus is improving practical Indigenous data governance through advocacy, counter-mapping, and building appropriate, ethical software that helps Indigenous Peoples get their land, cash, and data back. Cynthia Khoo is a technology and human rights lawyer at Tekhnos Law, and a senior fellow at the Citizen Lab (University of Toronto). Previously, she was a senior associate at Georgetown Law's Center on Privacy & Technology in Washington, DC. Cynthia's legal practice, research, and expertise focuses on how the Internet and emerging technologies impact the human rights of historically marginalized groups, in particular their rights to privacy, equality, and freedom of expression. She holds a J.D. from the University of Victoria and LL.M. (Law and Technology) from the University of Ottawa, where she worked as junior counsel at and represented the Samuelson-Glushko Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) as an intervener in cases before the Supreme Court of Canada. Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood is a senior researcher with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, where he focuses on climate, artificial intelligence and economic policy.

Lyla June is an Indigenous musician, author, and community organizer of Diné (Navajo), Tsétsêhéstâhese (Cheyenne), and European lineages. Her multi-genre presentation style has engaged audiences around the globe towards personal, collective, and ecological healing. She blends her academic work in Human Ecology and Indigenous Pedagogy with the traditional worldview she grew up with to inform her music, perspectives, and solutions. Her doctoral research focused on the ways in which pre-colonial Indigenous Nations shaped large regions of Turtle Island to produce abundant food systems for both humans and non-humans. Indigenous Rights Radio Coordinator Shaldon Ferris (Khoi/San) recently spoke with Lyla June about her work and passions. Music "Anania2" by The Baba Project, used with permission.

Over the past decade, the world has become increasingly chaotic and uncertain – and so, too, has our cultural vision for the future. While the events we face now may feel unprecedented, they are rooted in much deeper patterns, which humanity has been playing out for millennia. If we take the time to understand past trends, we can also employ practices and philosophies that might counteract them –  such as focusing on kinship, intimacy, and resilience – to help pave the way for a better future. How might we nurture the foundations of a different kind of society, even while the end of our current civilization plays out around us?  In this episode, Nate is joined by guide and author Samantha Sweetwater to explore how separation is at the root of the metacrisis and how nurturing interconnection, relationships, and ecological maturity act as foundational components for systems change. Samantha delves into the distinction between power of life and power over life, emphasizing the need for personal transformation that aligns with collective evolution. She also describes how we could shift our cultural focus from the hero's journey to a kinship journey through the practices of remembering, reconnection, and tending to collective emergence. How might we reimagine humanity's ecological role as that of stewards, rather than domination? Could focusing on reconnection, rather than separation, help us bridge the polarizing divides that currently prevent many of us from working together? And how might this work of remembering, which begins with ourselves, ripple out into stronger connections with our loved ones, communities, and ultimately to humanity and life as a whole?  (Conversation recorded on October 1st, 2025)    About Samantha Sweetwater: Samantha Sweetwater is a wisdom guide, author, and founder of One Life Circle—a ministry of remembering. She works at the fertile nexus where unraveling systems make way for emerging forms of kinship, leadership, and value. For over three decades, she has facilitated individuals and organizations across five continents through journeys of personal, cultural, ecological, and spiritual emergence. She mentors leaders in business, technology, and finance, helping them to navigate awakening, develop systemic wisdom, and align impact with regenerative futures. Founder of Dancing Freedom and Peacebody Japan, she sparked a global movement of embodied awakening and has trained hundreds of facilitators. She has also been a seed farmer—a practice that taught her the rigors of tending the real. She holds an MA in Wisdom Studies, a BA in Social Theory and Dance, and has been initiated into indigenous lineages of Africa, Latin America, and Turtle Island.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

11/23/25 David borrows from the new book Reading the Bible on Turtle Island by Sanctuary member Chris Hoklotubbe. David looks at how the book invites an openness to the gifts and spiritual practices of indigenous traditions because many reflect the Bible's portrayal of spiritual experiences. For example, in the Transfiguration story, Jesus experiences the presence of his ancestors (Moses and Elijah) at a crossroads moment in his ministry.

Storytelling is the backbone of our movement. In this episode, Nick Tilsen sits down with writer and comedian Joey Clift to talk about how important it is to use narrative and storytelling as a mechanism to catalyse the LANDBACK movement, the power of modern-day representation, and Joey's upcoming short animation film, "Pow!."   LEARN MORE:  Pow! premieres 11/24 on FNX, watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOTuVqdwu8Y  Pow! is an animated short film about Jake, a young Native American kid scrambling to charge his dying video game console at a bustling Coastal Salish intertribal powwow, where he learns that loving video games and loving your culture aren't mutually exclusive. Written and Directed by Joey Clift (Cowlitz), made by a largely Indigenous team and with an all-Native voice cast. Pow! is a comedic love letter to the communities that raised us. Joey Clift is a Los Angeles-based comedian, Emmy and Peabody-nominated writer, and an enrolled member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. Growing up, Joey aspired to become a local TV weatherperson because he didn't see Native American comedians on screen and thought a career in comedy was off-limits to him. He has since proven otherwise, writing for acclaimed series like Spirit Rangers (Netflix), Molly of Denali (PBS), and Paw Patrol (Nickelodeon). Joey is the creator of Gone Native, a Comedy Central Digital series about microaggressions Native folks often experience, and his comedy has been featured everywhere from Dropout to The Smithsonian Museum.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Chris Hoklotubbe and Dr. Danny Zacharias about their book Reading the Bible on Turtle Island and how Indigenous wisdom invites us to see Scripture through a different lens. We explore how the Bible, written by tribal people deeply connected to land and kinship, calls us back into right relationship with Creator, creation, and one another. Chris and Danny share stories that connect the Trail of Tears to the exile in Babylon, the teachings of Jesus to the call of Jubilee, and how truth-telling and reconciliation are part of our ongoing discipleship. This conversation challenges the transactional faith that has shaped so much of Western Christianity and reclaims a relational vision of faith grounded in love, harmony, and gratitude. It's a reminder that reading the Bible through Indigenous eyes doesn't just reveal something new about the text, it helps us remember who we are and how to walk the bright path of Jesus together.H. Daniel Zacharias (PhD, Highland Theological College/Aberdeen) is a Cree-Anishinaabe/Métis and Austrian man originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba (Treaty One territory), with ancestors also residing in Treaty Two, Treaty Three, and Treaty Five territories. He lives in Mi'kma'ki (Nova Scotia) with his wife, Maria, and four children in Wolfville, NS. He is associate dean and professor of New Testament studies at Acadia Divinity College, where he has worked since 2007. He also serves as an adjunct faculty for NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community.T. Christopher Hoklotubbe (ThD, Harvard) is a proud member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. He is the director of graduate studies of NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community, the first accredited Indigenous designed, developed, delivered, and governed theological institute. He is also assistant professor of classics at Cornell College (Mount Vernon, Iowa). He is the author of Civilized Piety: The Rhetoric of Pietas in the Pastoral Epistles and the Roman Empire, which was awarded the Manfred Lautenschläger Award for Theological Promise.

In this episode Nick Tilsen is joined by Foster Cournoyer Hogan, NDN Collective Bison Coordinator, and Wizipan Little Elk Garriott, NDN Collective President, to announce the launch of a critical mutual aid campaign in response to the SNAP benefits crisis, discuss how this moment calls us into action, and to share about the upcoming work for the Bison Homelands Initiative at NDN Collective.  GUESTS: Foster Cournoyer Hogan Wizipan Little Elk Garriott LEARN MORE: https://ndnco.cc/feedthepeople NDN Collective is launching the "Feed The People" campaign in response to the SNAP benefits crisis. The U.S. Government shutdown is disrupting SNAP, deepening food insecurity in many Native and rural communities.  The crisis is not just about hunger — it reflects the erosion of systems that once ensured community health and sovereignty of food sources.  The "Feed the People" campaign is a call to action for funding mutual aid support in response to the disruption of SNAP in the Oceti Sakowin. While responding to the urgent needs of our community, we are also strengthening traditional food systems and collaborating with Indigenous-led projects focused on food sovereignty. NDN is seeking immediate funding to purchase and distribute bison meat boxes from Sacred Storm Buffalo to families affected in Rapid City and the surrounding communities.  ➡️If you live in Rapid City and are looking for food assistance, we will have our first distribution on November 21. Stay tuned for updates on location and time.  ℹ️Learn more about the campaign: https://ndnco.cc/feedthepeople 

Host Shayla Oulette Stonechild hosts Chyana Marie Sage on the Matriarch Movement Podcast, discussing her new book ‘Soft as Bones,' which has become a national bestseller. Chyana shares her journey from a tumultuous childhood marked by abuse and intergenerational trauma to becoming a renowned storyteller. She emphasizes the importance of cultural roots, storytelling, and healing through writing and ceremony. Chyana also discusses her foundation's mission to create spaces for Indigenous storytelling and her ongoing projects, including a novel adaptation and a short film. The conversation highlights the power of Indigenous storytelling in healing and community building. More about Chyana Marie Sage: Chyana Marie Sage is a Cree, Métis, and Salish writer from Edmonton, Alberta. She has an MFA in creative nonfiction from Columbia University and lives in New York City. Chyana loves to travel and be with nature. She shares the pain of growing up with her father, a crack dealer who went to prison for molesting her older sister. In revisiting her family's history, Chyana examines the legacy of generational abuse, which began with her father's father, who was forcibly removed from his family by the residential schools and Sixties Scoop programs. Yet hers is also a story of hope, as it was the traditions of her people that saved her life, healing one small piece in the mosaic that makes up the dark past of colonialism shared by Indigenous people throughout Turtle Island. https://www.instagram.com/softasbones/ https://storestock.massybooks.com/item/temoIPlhFAidq8S_8vUqOw/⁠ https://chyanamariesage.com/ Thanks for checking out this episode of the Matriarch Movement podcast!

In Season 3, Episode 6 Nick Tilsen is joined by Brittany Koteles, Executive Director of Land Justice Futures. This organization helps religious land owners pursue land justice – shifting the narrative of land as a commodity to one of repair, restoration, and reciprocity. Land Justice Futures works closely with Christian communities and Catholic sisters to move toward repair.  According to Land Justice Future, the Catholic Church is the world's largest private landowner, with land on every continent, in every country across the globe. In this conversation, Nick and Brittany talk about what LANDBACK means to the Catholic church, what organizing nuns is like, and the very first Catholic land return in history. The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration will return two acres of lakefront property to the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa on October 31, 2025. Listen to the episode to hear just how this work is being done and how sisters of the Catholic Church are digging in and riding for LANDBACK.  GUESTS: Brittany Koteles, Executive Director of Land Justice Futures LEARN MORE: https://www.landjusticefutures.org To learn about our big wins and hear stories from our grantees and loan relative across Turtle Island, read our 2024 Impact Report on our website at: https://ndncollective.org/impact-reports Support the For the People Campaign today!

The Tragic Wreck of the Whaleship Oeno (1825) – Stranded and Surviving among Pacific Islanders. In 1825, the American whaleship Oeno, under Captain Samuel Riddell, wrecked on a remote Pacific coral reef between Tonga and Fiji. What began as a routine whaling voyage from Nantucket turned into a desperate struggle for survival on a small island—where only sailor William S. Cary lived to tell the harrowing tale of shipwreck, massacre, and unexpected mercy.Bounty Mutinyhttps://youtu.be/k4mrZdNWgGs?si=OnUquZ01jbENFCGEStory of La Perousehttps://youtu.be/8xwaLzcPryg?si=QnFl6b_twMZvDEzZ——MY BOOKS1 സ്വർണ്ണനഗരം തേടി: ആമസോണ്‍ കണ്ടെത്തിയ കഥ (Mathrubhumi Books)Hard Copy | https://amzn.to/3T5lTioEbook | https://amzn.to/44eYMqW2 മഡഗാസ്കർ (Regal Publishers)Hard Copy | https://amzn.to/3ZN8sr73 സിംഹത്തിന്റെ ശത്രു!: അറ്റ്ലസ് സിംഹങ്ങളുടെ കഥ!Ebook | https://amzn.to/3G8ZdLj——————————Contact meMessage : https://juliusmanuel.com/chatMail : mail@juliusmanuel.com---------------Instagramhttps://instagram.com/juliusmanuel_-------Websitehttps://juliusmanuel.com/ChannelsInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/channel/AbbAIzWxF6R6qz7O/Whatsuphttps://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va4U8tZInlqO0BLvpg2V

In this discussion we talk with Professor Corinna Mullin who is a member of the Anti-Imperialist Scholars Collective.  Corinna Mullin is an anti-imperialist academic who teaches political science and economics. Her research examines the historical legacies of colonialism and the role of capitalist expansion and imperialist imbrications in producing peripheral state “security dependency,” with a focus on unequal exchange, super-exploitation, resource extraction, and other forms of surplus value drain/transfer as well as resistance. Corinna has also researched and published academic works on border imperialism, struggles around the colonial-capitalist university, fascism, multipolarity, and national liberation, with a focus on the Maghreb, West Asia, and Turtle Island. Corinna was a member of the Steering Committee for the International Peoples' Tribunal on U.S. Imperialism and organizes with CUNY for Palestine and Labor for Palestine. She serves on the Steering Committee of the Professional Staff Congress (PSC)-CUNY's International Committee and is a member of the Delegate Assembly. Full bio from AISC. In this discussion we primarily discuss her piece, Zionism, Imperialism, and the Struggle Against Global Fascism: Palestine as the ‘Hornet's Nest' of US Empire from the Anti-Imperialist Scholars Collective blog The Pen Is My Machete  And a little bit on her piece The ‘War on Terror' as Primitive Accumulation in Tunisia: US-Led Imperialism and the Post-2010-2011 Revolt/Security Conjuncture from Middle East Critique  Also I say more about this in the episode, but Dr. Mullin was fired from CUNY as a result of her stance and organizing with respect to Palestine. We will include a statement from AISC on this and a Statement in Solidarity with CUNY Faculty and Students Facing McCarthyite Retaliation for Palestine Solidarity which we have signed.  There are also a number of other calls to action for faculty and students at CUNY that we will include in the show description. Corinna talks about those at the end of the episode and we strongly encourage folks to support those calls to action it only takes a minute of your time. In this discussion Dr. Mullin talks a little bit about Dr. Ali Kadri's The Accumulation of Waste: A Political Economy of Systemic Destruction and it just so happens that we have a study group on that exact book starting on October 1st, it's available to everyone who supports the show, whether through patreon, BuyMeACoffee or as a YouTube member of the show. Details on that study group and how to join it are linked in the show description. But just to note that there are only about 40 spots left in the group as we publish this, so if you want to join us, make sure you do so ASAP to reserve your space. Calls to Action:  "Hadeeqa Arzoo Malik is being made an example of for the sake of setting the tone across the nation at public universities, as they seek further control over the student movement for Palestine. City College President Vincent Boudreau has already denied her appeal for a drop to the charges, without even an acknowledgement to the 2,000+ calls and emails from the community that demanded her reinstatement. Now, it is time to escalate both our tactics against CUNY and whom we pressure— Take it to the Board of Trustees. Your rage is needed to make it loud and clear that CUNY's repression will not go uninterrupted.  CALL CUNY STUDENT AFFAIRS: 646-664-8800 EMAIL THE BOT: https://tinyurl.com/Defendhadeeqaarzoo" Free Tarek Bazrouk! Tarek is a 20-year-old Palestinian from NYC, unjustly convicted of federal charges stemming from his participation in protests against the genocide in Gaza. "Demand Immediate Reinstatement of Terminated Adjunct Faculty and Defend Academic Freedom Send a letter to Brooklyn College President Michelle Anderson, CUNY Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez, and CUNY Board Chairperson William Thompson urging them to reinstate the fired adjunct faculty and protect the rights of CUNY students and workers who stand in solidarity with Palestine. The targeting of these individuals is part of a broader assault on higher education and academic freedom. Their fight is our fight—silencing them is an attack on us all.

Our Trauma Culture has spread across the globe with terrifying speed and ghastly efficiency.  But the tide is turning and people of good heart in many nations are beginning to understand that what we need now is a move towards a 21st Century Initiation Culture. The language is often different, but at heart, this is where we need to go. Our guest this week, Hilary Giovale, is a mother, writer, facilitator and community organiser who lives in Flagstaff, Arizona.  As an active reparationist, she seeks to follow Indigenous and Black leadership in support of human rights, environmental justice, and equitable futures.  She is the author of the award-winning book Becoming a Good Relative: Calling White Settlers toward Truth, Healing, and Repair.Descended from the Celtic, Germanic, Nordic, and Indigenous peoples of Ancient Europe, she is a ninth-generation American settler.  For most of her life these origins were obscured by whiteness.  After learning more about her ancestors' history, Hilary began emerging from a fog of amnesia, denial, and fragmentation.  For the first time, she could see a painful reality: her family's occupation of this land has harmed Indigenous and African peoples, cultures, lands, and lifeways.  This realisation changed her life and part of this change was writing this moving, deeply important book.  Supported by local First Peoples, she undertook four years of fasting ceremonies, and began to engage differently, more deeply and with a new, raw authenticity with those whose ancestors had been most damaged by the Trauma Culture's colonisation of the land. Her book is essential reading for anyone in white culture, wherever we live in the world. It's a raw, unflinching step into discomfort, but it's also a deeply moving memoir of Hilary's journey inward, to dreams, to genuine visionary connection with the land, to the power of heartfelt apology to heal at least some of the generational horror of the Trauma Culture.  So, you'll definitely want to read this. If you're in North America, you can get hard copies easily. If you're elsewhere, you may only be able to get an e-book, but either way, Hilary returns all income she receives from book sales to Decolonizing Wealth Project and Jubilee Justice.  Hilary's website: https://www.goodrelative.comBecoming a Good Relative https://www.goodrelative.com/bookE-book here: on Barnes and Noble  and on KoboGuide to Making a Personal Reparations Plan https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G-ufl_8ixdquMGrDziiBUBAANYKXrN7eHtjiE5aKTfw/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.1kvofvfw6wnsWhat we offer: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass If you'd like to join our next Open Gathering offered by our Accidental Gods Programme it's  'Dreaming Your Death Awake' (you don't have to be a member) it's on 2nd November - details are here.If you'd like to join us at Accidental Gods, this is the membership where we endeavour to help you to connect fully with the living web of life.
