Episode 44: How Racist Doctrines Fuel Today’s Robotic Wars And What We Can Do

When 1800s Ideology Meets 21st-Century Killbots

Operation Southern Spear • Neomonroeism • AI • Military • Environmentalism 

We connect the Monroe Doctrine’s racist roots to today’s “hybrid fleet” of AI boats and drones aimed at Venezuela, showing how old imperial logic is driving new autonomous warfare. We argue for North–South solidarity, demilitarized tech, and budgets that fund care over killbots.

• Operation Southern Spear as testbed for AI maritime warfare
• Monroeism and Jim Crow as linked ideologies of control
• Health care weaponised through sanctions and blockades
• Necropolitics and outsourced morality to autonomous systems
• BRICS, trade diversification and choke-point containment
• Drone swarms, escalation risk and industrial-scale casualties
• A practical case for solidarity, climate security and civil investment


Necropolitics is a sociopolitical theory of the use of social and political power to dictate how some people may live and how some must die.

Episode Transcript

SPEAKER_01 (00:00):
Look like child's play.
The precision involved and thescale of death involved is going
to be absolutely mind-boggling.
People cannot even imagine it.
And once again, this is why I'mmaking the episode is so that we
can connect all the dots herethat the concept of having

(00:21):
racist supremacist people makingthese doctrines and in charge of
these technologies is somethingwe need to push back against.
We should not have AI bombsloitering in the area for
endless amounts of time.
I mean, we need to be smarterwith our use of technology here,
and as civilians who are payingfor this stuff, this is our tax

(00:42):
dollars.
We need to be the one that saysno, we need health care, we need
our roads to be done, we needmedicine and education and
safety, not more robot bombs togo to the other side of the
planet.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
And it really brings like amoral problem to the surface of

(01:05):
on so many different levels.

SPEAKER_04 (01:36):
I can be bad man in turn to the joke.
I'm trying to stay focused.
I see it, I want it, that focus,then focus.
And while I'm solid in my head,when I give it to Allah, he
blessed me with more and moreoverflow.

SPEAKER_01 (01:48):
Hello, welcome to Inspired Earth.
It has been way too long sinceI've made an episode.
And welcome back everybody.
I'm happy to be here makinganother one.
I've been thinking of you guysbasically like every day.
Uh I'm not even joking.
Like sometimes multiple times aday.
I'll be sitting there thinking,man, I need to make a podcast

(02:11):
episode.
I'm sure there's tons of peopleall waiting, especially because
of how bizarre everything hasbeen lately.
Um but what I'm gonna be talkingabout today is Operation
Southern Spear specifically.
Uh I just have some thoughtsthat I gotta put out there about

(02:31):
it, and then I'm gonna be makinga more uh bizarre episode on it
that I think you guys will like.
I'm not gonna say anything morethan that.
So uh with yeah, without muchado, I just wanted to say hello
and that I was thinking of youguys, and thank you to all the
new people that have joined thepodcast, and we're gonna talk

(02:54):
about Operation Southern Spear,which Pete Heggseth, the
Secretary of War, or akaSecretary of Defense, has
announced uh that we're sendinga robotic fleet to Venezuela.
And it's very interesting thatwe have this robotic fleet going
to Venezuela because they'rejustifying it with 1800's era

(03:21):
laws and ideology, and it's justblatant racism and colonialism.
And to be using robots forcolonialism in 2025 is is very
striking.
So we're gonna be delving intothis connection between the old
thought and the new thought, andit's almost like the two

(03:41):
different worlds of Earth, ofthe past and the future, are
coming together in the presentright now, and I'm gonna be
elaborating on that on a coupleepisodes as well.
Of how it just seems like wehave uh like different um
worldviews or or even earthsseemingly existing at the same

(04:05):
time.
Uh so we're gonna go into aSwedish publication, I believe
this is Swedish, The Fear forAnother Revolution slash
colonialism, the evolution ofthe Munro Doctrine as an
instrument of race racistdomination and hegemony in the
Caribbean by Juan Velazquez inthe Institution for Culture

(04:30):
Vitenskopper, and this is 2021.
Um Social Integration andGlobalization, I think is maybe
the publication that was in.
So summary, I believe that'swhat that says.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreakseems to have changed the
history of humanity in a beforeand after it.

(04:53):
Upon its beginning,environmentalists were happy of
the return of hap of wildanimals to urban centers and to
halt the global emissions.
But when the numbers of deathsand infected grew, this is badly
translated, I can already tell.
So if if there's something notgrammatically correct, let's
just assume that it's the uhtranslator.

(05:15):
It was evident that the blackand colored populations in the
North Atlantic powers were mostaffected.
The situation framed a powerfulreturn of anti-racist and
anti-colonial mobilizationsheaded by the Black Lives Matter
movement.
At the same time, North Atlanticempires used their military
power to repress their ownpopulations and to capture

(05:37):
medical devices on the seas.
Moreover, they intensified it.
Their economic sanctions withthe naval blockade against the
Caribbean nations had risenagainst their hegemonies.
So this little bit right hereabout capturing medical devices
on the seas, I think, is verytelling and important because it

(05:58):
talks about the weaponizationand segregation of medical
devices and healthcare, evenback that long ago.
So you would see that in fromall time since then.
The book Tuberculosis.
Um I can't remember the rest ofthe title, but you could

(06:19):
probably just type intuberculosis book and find it.
It talks about how it with AIDSand tuberculosis and all these
different diseases that it thehealth care and treatment to it
are like sequestered away, andthey try not to let poor people
have medical um care.
And by they I mean the rich andthe people in control of all

(06:42):
these systems in government.
So we see from the past like 300years the weaponization of
health care, which is veryinteresting.
Um I just felt like that neededto be noted.
That's such a small sentence,but a big big uh meaning to it.
Moreover, they intensified theireconomic sanctions with a naval

(07:03):
blockade against the Caribbeannations that had risen against
their hegemonies.
Hmm.
Sounds familiar.
As as during the colonialpiracies of the 1700s, the North
Atlantic powers coordinated howto confiscate gold reserves,
bank accounts, and subsidiarycompanies with operations in the
US and Europe.
In open violation of the Charterof the United Nations, its

(07:26):
financial institutions followedthe Monroe Doctrine, a consensus
between the US and its NorthAtlantic allies to intervene in
the countries of the Americas.
This time the doctrine was usedto cut off access to the credit
to Venezuela and Cuba for theacquisition of medicines and
hospital equipment.
So again, we see this repeatedpattern of the weaponization of

(07:49):
health care and uh uh notallowing technologies and
treatments to get to poor peopleor to targeted uh nations who
dare to go against the empire,such as Europe or the United
States, or you know, the empirewas traditionally uh white
institutions, so this is goesback to racist ideology, all of

(08:14):
this healthcare stuff, which ispretty wild.
Not a lot of people areconnecting this, but just as the
article begins with, uh peopleare now starting to connect
this.
For their part, these Caribbeannations controlled the pandemic
focusing on the Cuban healthprevention model developed since
the 1960s.
Cuba went even further and lentits medical personnel to some 60

(08:37):
countries in the global southand in Europe.
Fitz 2020, is their citing.
Turning medical care into aninstrument of solidarity with
whom Franz Fannin calls thewretched of the earth.
So they're making health careaccessible to poor people.
But as if very little hadchanged in 200 years of history,

(08:59):
the response from the liberalregimes to Cuba and Venezuela
and Europe and the Americascontinued to be indifference,
harassment, and racism.
This chapter addresses the riseand fall of the Monroe Doctrine
as an instrument of the NorthAtlantic colonial dominance, as
will be exemplified below.

(09:19):
Through the years of MonroeDoctrine has developed into an
international consensus among naNorth Atlantic white colonial
elites to freeze black and brownpopulations and Caribbean and
Latin American societies in aperpetual state of exploitation
and submission to theirinterests.
So this is a consensus among allNorth Atlantic white colonial

(09:42):
elites.
And we could see that beingcalled the Five Eyes Alliance
today, who some would put Israelpretty close to that alliance as
well, like a six eye alliance.
And that's all uh whitesupremacist colonial
civilizations that have thisideology.

(10:05):
However, at the time of theCOVID-19 pandemic, the already
active support of Russia andChina to Venezuela and to Cuba
may have disrupted this hegemonyto the grade of contesting the
North Atlantic powers' militaryand economic dominance.
So this is when theconflagration that's kind of

(10:27):
happening right now or orleading up to it started.
Is this the end of NorthAtlantic dominance in the
Caribbean, or is it the start ofyet another era of much more
enlarged bourgeois or liberalimperial dominance?
To answer this question, thechapter recounts some historical
events around 1803, 1903, and2003, until today, which this is

(10:53):
2021, that's when this waswritten.
To stress the domination ofNorth Atlantic racism to ensure
the hegemony of theEuro-American Civilization
Project.
In the next section, the textcombines these temporalities
around the relationship betweenthe domination from Foucault and
the hegemony from Gromsky toshow how racism shirt serves to

(11:14):
perpetuate its colonialityaround the fear of turning into
another Haiti, Cuba, Cuba, orVenezuela.
So this shows how far back itgoes and the beginnings of how
this current standoff is hadarisen with the COVID-19

(11:34):
pandemic, America losing itshegemonic power, Russia and
China gaining strength, BRICSgaining strength.
Uh I'll just go ahead and saynow that like I think a lot of
Operation Southern Spear isgoing to be about limiting the
the causeways and waterwaysaround these newly uh tempted

(11:58):
BRICS nations or the or some ofthe ones that are about to be
BRICS or could be versus theones that already are.
Um they're basically just tryingto like isolate these nations
economically using these robotsrobot speedboats.

(12:20):
So uh this is from 2019.
Monroeism is the other side ofJim Crow, the side, the side of
facing the South.
So Jim Crow in the North, andthis Monroeism is like the Jim
Crow of the South.
This forum of Sao Paulo ofWashington, D.C.
marks a significant step forwardin building North-South
solidarity on behalf of economicand social justice throughout

(12:43):
the hemisphere and respect forthe sovereign equality of
nations.
The forum comes on the heels ofthe defense of Venezuelan
Embassy by the EmbassyProtection Collective.
It takes place amid growingnationwide direct action by the
Never Again Is Now movement andallies to shut down the
concentration camps and restoredignified treatment of Central

(13:06):
American refugees.
And it is held during the daysof the protest over the failure
of the Department of Justice toprosecute NYPD police officers
for the murder of Eric Garner,an officer who is still on the
city table.
These experiences highlight thewhite supremacist link between
the institutional racism withinU.S.

(13:28):
borders and neoliberal offensiveby Washington and its right-wing
allies against the Bolivarianresistance and popular sectors
in Latin America and theCaribbean.
So Eric Garner, I think he gotkilled for breaking up a fight.
And they tried to sell tried tosay he was selling cigarettes,
but the video just showed himbreaking up a fight and like

(13:51):
they shot him.
So he tried to stop people fromfighting and and was killed.
And uh the NYPD guy got awaywith it.
But so some of this stuff isgonna sound like it's happening
now, but this was in 2019, so wehave to remember that.
And as far as the dignifiedtreatment of Central American
refugees and the ending ofconcentration camps, what

(14:13):
they're talking about is that ElSalvador prison that we all saw
where they had sent people, anduh Todd Miller had talked about
it on the episode that we hadhad that we talked about the
Latin American stuff.
Uh all of his books highlightthis very heavily, uh and you

(14:35):
can see like an on-the-groundperspective on this.
A lot of people are just nowlearning about this and learning
that this has been going on fora long time.
As all of this has been.
That's kind of the point of thisepisode, is this is not new, but
what's new is using this stuffto defend robots or the use of

(14:56):
like killbots, robot speedboatkillbots laden with explosives.
The Trump administration hasstepped up the necropolitics of
white supremacy and whiteplutocracy, which now expresses
itself in the policesurveillance state at home and
Monroeism abroad.
And I had to look up whatnecropolitics is because I

(15:16):
wanted to make sure I knew whatthey were saying here.
It says necropolitics is asociopolitical theory of the use
of social and political power todictate how some people may live
and how some people may die.
Um, I guess you could call thateugenics or maybe even ethnic
cleansing.
And I would say that that's whatthe big the BBB was, the big

(15:39):
bigger bill, big beautiful bill,July 4th.
Probably make an episode aboutthat eventually.
That that's what the whole pointof this is.
That it's all necropolitics.
They're they're choosing who isgonna die.
And even during COVID, uh theTexas Attorney General at that
time said, like sacrifice youryour elders for the economy and

(16:03):
go out and drink.
I'm not joking, that's not adrink, or that's not a joke.
That's what he said.
He literally told people to justlike just give up on old people
and we legalize drinking anddriving.
You can go and get a drink anddrive around now.
So go do that.
That's what they told everybody.
And God knows how manyalcoholics they created by

(16:25):
telling people to go and drink.
So police state policesurveillance state at home and
monro Monroeism abroad, whitesupremacy and plutocracy, both
expressions have commonhistorical ideology, ideological
roots in Europe, and Europeansupremacy of the 15th century

(16:46):
and the invention of theAmericas.
Both expressions have commonhistorical ideological roots in
European supremacy of thefifteenth century and the
invention of the Americas.
Today, this ideology of conquestand subjugation continues to
inflict colonial wounds on AfricAfro descendant and original
peoples.

(17:06):
These wounds are the result ofmultiple hierarchies of
domination, including race,class, gender, identity,
nationality, religion, andlocation.
The idea of a colonial wound isnot to suggest fatalism.
History is not over, nor is itexclusively written from the

(17:30):
viewpoint of the global north.
Five hundred years of Europeanaggression against America India
has been met by five hundredyears of resistance.
But not only resistance, despitesetbacks, the so-called Pink
Tide represents a significantadvancement of the decolonizing
project that extends back to1492, and will not cease until

(17:55):
all of the peoples of AmericaIndia recover their sovereignty.
Today we come together North andSouth to affirm our
co-responsibility for building anew world, one in which many
worlds can fit in, to use aZapatista expression.

(18:15):
Tonight I would like to examinethree fronts in this project of
transformation, of which theEmbassy Protection Collective,
the protests against theconcentration camps, and the
outrage over police terror areemblematic.
I suspect something has changedin us in a very positive way, as

(18:35):
a result of thirty-seven days ofresistance by the Embassy
Protection Collective and theirsupporters.
The collective defended theVenezuelan Embassy in
Washington, DC at the invitationof the constitutional government
of President Nicolas Maduro.
The collective inside theembassy and supporters outside

(18:56):
had to confront the racist,misogynist, and homophobic
attacks of those of the Guadillosupporters, who voiced support
for the criminal U.S.
economic sanctions and U.S.
intervention, US militaryintervention against their own
people.
This was written in 2019.
Even older than the lastarticle.

(19:19):
When it became clear that thecollective would not be
intimidated by either Guadillosupporters or the Secret
Service, and the support for thecollective and the streets was
continuing to grow, the policeseized the embassy grounds and
arrested the members of thecollective who were inside.
Since this police action was aserious violation of the Vienna
Convention on DiplomaticRelations of 1961, the

(19:42):
department lost moral and legalground while the collective
fortified North South Solidarityand exposed the farce farcical
nature of the shadow governmentof interim President Juan
Guadillo, who there was noelection, and the State
Department of the US governmentjust came out and said, This
guy's the president now.

(20:04):
So they said that the electionwas fake, and then there was
other times that there wasn'teven election, and they would
try to put people in charge.
The fight for fair immigrationpolicies.
Here at home, we are alsomindful of the struggle on the
immigration front and inparticular the broad-based

(20:26):
protests against concentrationcamps and ICE raids.
We see U.S.
citizens and immigrants marchingtogether to defend the dignity
of Central American refugees.
Not only have we not only havethousands of activists across
the US blocked entrance to thecamps, and some towns,
neighborhoods are coming out tostop ICE agents from seizing

(20:47):
members of their community.
This is often spontaneousresistance extends the concept
of sanctuary, which isinstitutional to the practice of
collective responsibility.
So it's not just a legislativeconcept of providing sanctuary,
they're actually making it acollective responsibility to

(21:08):
make sure that these people aresafe.
Racism at home and neo-monroismabroad.
With regard to police terrorinflicted on people of color,
there's widespread protestsaimed at ending the impunity of
police who commit murder as wellas the systematic practice of
racial profiling.
W wasn't this before Black LivesMatter?

(21:30):
This is kind of crazy.
I mean it was right before it,so.
These protests are part of alarger nationwide movement aimed
at reforming a racist justicesystem and dismantling the
increasingly repressive andmilitarized police slash
surveillance state.
In response to all three ofthese assaults on human and
civil rights, the Monroeistdefensive in Latin America, the

(21:53):
persecution of refugees, and thepolice state, there is a
convergence of progressiveforces which share certain core
values in opposing what MartinLuther King Jr.
called the three evils ofmilitarism, poverty and racism.
The alternative tonecropolitics, as
Argentine-Mexican philosopherEnrique Dussell points out, is

(22:14):
to defend the growth of humanlife and community and in
harmony with the biosphere.
That's excellent.
I love that.
The Zapatista NationalLiberation Army expressed well
the spirit of today'sNorth-South Solidarity in their
June 2005 six declaration fromthe Forest of La Condona.

(22:34):
The EZLN at the time wasreflecting on more than a decade
of struggle in internationalsolidarity since the indigenous
uprisings of 1994 in Chiapas.
The first thing we see is thatour hearts are not the same as
before.
When we began our struggle, itis bigger now, because we have

(22:55):
touched the hearts of many goodpeople, and we also see our
heart has been hurt, or we cansay more wounded.
And it is not that it is woundedon account of trickery
perpetrated on us by badgovernments, but that when we
touch the hearts of others, thenwe are also touching their
pains.
It is as though we see ourselvesin a mirror.

(23:15):
Today our hearts too are not thesame.
In this moment of danger, we toocan see ourselves as if in a
mirror, and in this mirror wecan identify a colonial wound
caused by the same historicmaladies.
I see this so clearly.
Such a good line right there.
From the time of the conquest ofthe American and the

(23:37):
transatlantic slave trade up tocontemporary Monroeism and the
new Jim Crow, some currents inEurope, European and US
political philosophy havejustified the subjugation of
non-European peoples.
As early as 1550, a debate tookplace before the Royal Council
of Valid Valid Validolidolidover the humanity of the

(24:00):
Indians, and whether Spain wasjustified in waging war against
them.
For more for modern Uranpolitical philosophy, the rights
of man were generally notintended for Africans,
indigenous people, women, orthose without property.
A lot of people forget you couldbe white back then, but you also
had to own property.

(24:22):
Which is interesting.
And we're starting to getthrough this article here, so
hang on with me before we get tothe robots.
We've got to get the the oldbefore we can get to the new.
Monroeism and the new Jim Crow,two sides of the same coin.
We can still perceive the legacyof European supremacy in case
anyone has forgotten.
In US exceptionalism, thisexceptionalism claims noble

(24:46):
ends, but it is a real facemanifested in a racist criminal
justice system and Washington'sdrive to recolonize Latin
America and in the ongoingatrocity of concentration camps
on U.S.
soil.
Again, this was not written in2025, this was six years ago.
Let's be clear, Monroeism is theother side of Jim Crow, the side

(25:09):
facing South.
The year 1989 revealed deepcracks in the historic claims of
European and later US worldsupremacy.
Political theorist FrancisFukiyama suggested that with the
fall of the Soviet Union, 1989to 1991, the end of history was
upon us.
He did not mean the world wasliterally about to end.

(25:32):
But that politics and economicshad arrived at a definite
triumph of capitalism oversocialism, but his pronouncement
was premature.
During that same year there wasan uprising by the Bravo Pueblo
of Venezuela, the Caracazo CarCaracazo Caracazo Caracazo,

(25:54):
sorry, sorry.
In response to neoliberal reformmeasures imposed by the
President Carlos Andreas Perez,the same the same champions of
the idea that markets ought tobe free from government
interference had no qualmsmaking use of the state's
monopoly on violence to imposethe adjustment imperatives of
finance capital on a nationwhich the majority of citizens

(26:17):
lived in abject poverty.
Perez authorized the use themilitary use of lethal force,
and hundreds, if not thousands,of mostly poor, Afro-descendant,
and working class Venezuelanswere gunned down in the streets
of Caracas.
So he says that he's going tobring in neoliberal reforms to

(26:38):
put free market capitalism incharge and then use the state's
monopoly on violence, so becauselike only the state can commit
violence legally to kill off allof these people, all of the poor
people who are like disagreeingwith him.
One year, or the m the MonroeDoctrine versus the Bolivari Bol

(26:59):
Bolivarian alternative, sorry,the Monroe Doctrine versus the
Bolivarian alternative.
One year after the Caracazo, thefirst meeting of the Forum of
Sao Paulo in 1990 was held inBrazil to discuss ways to
reverse the neoliberal tide thathad been exacerbated, that had
exacerbated economic inquality,privatized public services,

(27:22):
eroded labor rights, compromisednational sovereignty, and
imposed austerity in the name ofthe ever elusive future
prosperity.
Sounds like what's going on nowas well.
Ten years later, in December of1998, Hugo Chavez would be
elected president of Venezuelaon a popular platform which

(27:42):
offered an alternative to theneoliberal model, the Bolivarian
alternative.
Over the past two decades, oneof the principal targets of
Monerosum has been Venezuela,not only on account of its oil
reserves and other naturalresources, but also because
since the election of Chavez inDecember 1998, this Bolivarian

(28:05):
Republic has defied Washingtonagenda.
This defiance involved forging apath forward towards regional
independence and integration, apath that ushered in the pink
tide of progressive governmentsand social movements which
lifted millions out of poverty,reclaimed national sovereignty
over natural resources, andrevalorized the cultures of

(28:28):
original and Afro-descendantpeoples.
In the face of a US-NATOalliance bent on world
domination, the Bolivarianalternative has welcomed the
emergence of a multipolar world.
As a result in direct collisionwith minorism, the Bolivarian
Revolution has led to anexpansion of commerce between

(28:50):
Latin America and China, Russia,and other trading partners.
So this is going back to theBRICS thing that I was talking
about.
All of these different s quoteunquote uh South nations, or th
we used to call them third worldnations, all the the global
south, that's what we're callingit now, are all uniting, and

(29:12):
they, for the first time inhistory, BRICS in the global
south and the third worldcountries, have more people and
more money and moreinfrastructure, more trade than
America or the West or Europe.
And we're we're far behind atthis point.
And that's what the tariffs aresupposed to be.

(29:32):
They're punishing the wholeworld and like stomping them
down, and it's extracting m uhwealth from the whole world to
give it to America to keep us ontop.
This is like the supremacist,hegemonic, uh imperialist
ideology that we're talkingabout that keeps on being a

(29:53):
pattern throughout all of thesesocioeconomic and geopolitical
historical relations.
That have developed for the past300 years.
It all has to do with likekeeping the right people at the
top.
And but the right people arerich white landowning people.
They're the ones that maintainall the secrets.

(30:14):
They're the ones that with themonopoly of power on the
violence.
So that's what this is talkingabout.
And why we're gonna be usingrobots to try to stomp out all
of these nations trying to beindependent, trying to assert
their independence right here.
So uh where was I?

(30:37):
In the eyes of the USpolicymakers from both major
political parties, keyword bothm major political parties, the
unpardonable offense of Cuba,Nicaragua, Bolivia, and
Venezuela has been to asserttheir independence, diversify
their trading partnerships, andchart post-neoliberal and
post-colonial alternatives tothe Washington consensus.

(31:00):
How dare they be independent andsovereign and want the money
from their gold mines to go totheir people?
That money for the oil and goldshould come to Washington, DC,
and the rich bureaucrats andaristocrats, that's how it
should be.
That's that's the natural orderof things, of course.
Anything else is like a zebraeating a lion.

(31:20):
Uh brown people can't get rich.
That's just crazy.
Like that's what they actuallybelieve.
That's what this is going to.
So uh that's very enlighteningand gives a lot of perspective
and context for the currentevents.
So we're almost done here.
Let's let's finish up.

(31:40):
But this at the end it starts toget really important.
So Monroeism inflicts a colonialwound in the south, and the new
Jim Crow keeps open analogouswounds in the north.
But the two faces of thecoloniality of power, to use
Annabelle Quadono's term, aremanifest in Trump's

(32:02):
zero-tolerance immigrationpolicy, a policy for which
Obama's mass deportation machinepaved the way.
The Central American refugee isa victim of both Monroeism and
white nationalism.
Context is critical here.
The Obama administration createdthe conditions driving refugees

(32:23):
flows out driving refugee flowsout of Honduras by backing the
coup against democraticallyelected President Manuel Zaleya
in June 2009, which led to arepressive regime, the
imposition of neoliberalexperiments, and a rapid
deterioration in publicsecurity.

(32:44):
But that's not all.
This is when the migrantcaravans were coming up.

(33:07):
Remember, we had like a10,000-person caravan coming up,
and nobody asked, where does agroup of 10,000 people all get
together from?
How do we have like a mass thatbig all coming at once?
It's because Obama and Trumpdestroying Central American
governments.
And here we are doing it again.
Or trying to.

(33:28):
Sometimes we succeed, sometimeswe fail.
Even when we succeed in topplingthe government, we fail in our
long-term objectives of well, Iguess depends on what objective
you want to believe.
If you want to believe thatwe're helping them, then we
fail.
But if you believe what this issaying, and that our our true

(33:49):
goal, despite all thepropaganda, is to destabilize
these nations so that they can'tcompete and can't integrate.
And that's the main purpose.
So in that sense, we do succeedwhen we topple things.
Even if we fail and make thingsunstable, that's still uh a
success for us.
So it what is success and whatis failure is it gets really

(34:11):
blurry with this sort of stuff.
And you have to have thecontext, otherwise, it gets
really confusing.
It is these historic blows todemocracy have led to the
current Honduran migrationnorth.
Those Hoduran, Honduran andCentral American migrants who
survived the trick through NorthMexico to seek asylum in the
south in the US now face thedehumanizing ordeal of

(34:34):
concentration camps, familyseparation, or deportation.
Some have already died as aresult of their internment.
Which it's crazy.
Again, this is six years old.
U.S.
necropolitics at home andabroad.
Grassroots resistance to thenecropolitics that has come

(34:55):
characterized U.S.
domestic and foreign policy isgrowing.
The unavoidable faces of thevictims of the prevailing
system, both at home and abroad,are increasingly becoming the
bad conscience of an exhaustedliberalism.
What centrist Democrats cannotfathom is that there is no way
out of this wasteland created byneoliberal capitalism.

(35:16):
Short of transforming theprevailing economic system, and
this means pushing back againstthe increasingly coercive
mechanisms of social control.
The rehabilitation of Monroeismand the new Jim Crow have been
the result of a deliberate U.S.
bipartisan projects.
For example, thanks tobipartisan consensus, the war on
drugs has led to massiveincarceration.

(35:38):
The endless war on terrorcontinues to provide political
cover for the militarization ofpolicing and universal domestic
surveillance.
Yet the FBI acknowledges thatthe main source of domestic
terrorism comes from the ranksof white supremacists.
Which this was written before wescrubbed all of that data.

(35:58):
We've the DHS and DAOJ and allof them under the current
administration of the Cheeto Manhas completely deleted all of
these statistics to try to hidethem.

(36:23):
Trump is merely taking off themask of bedrock U.S.
institutional racism andmilitarism that has been
festering long before he waselected.
Trump is no is no lone villain.
He reflects the entrenchedinterests of the corporate
state, which with all of theEpstein files and emails coming
out right now, Trump is no lonevillain is like very important

(36:45):
to realize.
He's just a a spokesperson for awhole web of villains that are
behind the scenes of all of ourmajor institutions and have been
for a long time.
Even before the Nazis camearound, this sort of stuff was
going on.
But since 1945 and the 50s andintegrating all of the Nazis

(37:08):
with Operation Paperclip, thisstuff is on hyperdrive and
trying to defeat the Soviets.
That that anything that'sconsidered the socialist
boogeyman or whatever, even ifit's just people trying to be
independent, they will uh uh uhuse all of these atrocities and
heinous tactics to destroy them,including withholding their m

(37:33):
health care and medicine.
Which uh we're watching thatwith Israel and Gaza as well,
that Israel says they have tohold back medicine from starving
people to protect themselves,allegedly, you know, that it and
it's the same thing here that Iwould like to say as well before
we finish talking about theMonroe Doctrine, because we're

(37:55):
on the last paragraph, thatstill to this day people will
come out in defense of theMonroe Doctrine saying that is
America trying to defendthemselves by trying to draw
draw a line in the sand on allof these nations around us so
that Europe can't come in andtry to steal our land and

(38:16):
resources again.
Or that's what it was in thepast was Europe, and now they're
saying China or Russia, and it'sjust it's such garbage.
This is not protective, this isnot defensive, this is
aggressive, it's imperialism,it's blatant.
Venezuela's not sending robotfleets to us, we're sending them
to them.

(38:37):
So, I mean it's very obvious.
Let's read this last paragraphhere.
What the corporate partiesgenerally omit from their
analysis of domestic and foreignpolicy is the common historical
ideological roots ofneo-Munroism and the Jim Crow,
the new Jim Crow, both of whichare, in some sense, two sides of
the same coin.

(38:57):
While no doubt the impact ofthese twin maladies on their
victims is conditioned by localfactors, both inflict colonial
wounds.
By decolonizing our way ofcomprehending history, we are
more likely to overcome thepresent dangers and in North
South Solidarity advance towardsbuilding a world in which many
worlds fit.

(39:18):
And I think that's a excellentending and something that we
should be emphasizing.
That's kind of the point of thisepisode as well, and that the
North and South need to formsolidarity and work together
towards uh a world in which manyworlds can fit.

(39:40):
And what does that mean?
That means all of thesedifferent cultures and nations
can all exist on Earth together,but we're gonna have to work
together to deal with ourenvironmental situation.
I'm sure that you guys had seena little bit about the AMOC or
like the environment, yada yada.
I know in America right now somepeople have more pressing

(40:04):
matters or or it feels like youhave more pressing matters, you
know.
Like if you if you have SNAPbenefits that are not coming in
and you can't feed your family,it's hard to think about the
ocean, right?
But it's still really important,and the ocean still ultimately
affects your family, even ifit's hard to think about it.
And Iceland had just said thatuh the North Atlantic current

(40:27):
collapsing is a nationalsecurity threat, and their
government is actually lookingat that.
I'll probably make an episodeabout that sometime, but we
can't deal with the ocean.
Iceland, a tiny little nation,is one of the only nations on
earth that's talking about theAMOT collapse.
They can't deal with itthemselves.
It's and they're on the north.

(40:47):
So we're gonna need people onnorth and south all working
together to try to fix our air,atmosphere, and land, our water
cycle, our carbon cycle, ournitrogen cycle, biodiversity
collapse.
All of these sorts of thingsneed to be dealt with as a
global um community rather thanjust one nation.

(41:09):
And I think ultimately that'slike a lesson that we can take
from what I'm talking about hereand this uh mixture of the 1800s
racist ideology and current AIrobot fleets of why it's

(41:30):
important to pay attention tothis and how to steer our
organizational attempts atmaking a better world.
So uh with the past in the past,let's move forward and uh I with
the US robot fleet.
I want you to keep in mind thisthat had come from uh September

(41:53):
5th, 2025.
Pentagon signs AI deal to aidmilitary decision making.
So before we would have themilitary send out human beings
to do these missions, right?
We're we're do the bombings thatwe're doing in the oceans in the

(42:15):
Atlantic and Pacific, those arewith human beings.
And I've got military family,and a lot of them are saying,
you know, this is illegal.
We're not supposed to be doingthese sorts of operations.
The United Nations has said thatour operations in Venezuela and
the Pacific and Caribbean areillegal.

(42:35):
So that says a lot.
And by having AI start to go outthere and do these bombings, I
think it's a it's a moral umlike almost like moral escapism
or or trying to think of theterm for it.

(42:55):
It's it's casting the moralduties onto a robot rather than
a human, outsourcing morality,let's say that.
Rather than like putting it on ahuman and having the human break
the law, it's a robot now.
So it's not as big of a deal,you know.
We're sending robots to do this.
So I feel like that's importantas well.

(43:16):
That they're trying to skirt thelaw as well as the morality of
it by using robots rather thanhumans, and that will continue
to increase in the future, Ibelieve.
Let's go into the specifics ofU.S.
launches Operation SouthernSpear, unveiling new robotic
fleet to target cartels.

(43:36):
Uh, one last thing before Istart reading, I kind of think
that this is maybe like a psyop,like a psychological operation.
What do I mean by that and why?
I mean in that if I'm aVenezuelan farmer or somebody
who, you know, has livedrelatively separately from

(43:58):
technology, like some of thepeople in Venezuela do, if you
get told that they're sending uhthe United States, the biggest,
most baddest country in theworld, is sending a robot fleet
to try to kill you and kill yourcountry members and like have
changed things politically,which I'm sure if you were to go

(44:19):
and read the definition ofterrorism and then compare what
we're doing right now to thedefinition of terrorism, it
would you would get a veryinteresting uh response, maybe,
of what you think it we'reactually doing there.
But so we're we're I think thatthat would be terrifying as a

(44:39):
farmer to get told that they'resending robot fleets to come and
try to kill people.
However, with that being said,Venezuela is a massive, massive
country.
It has jungles and mountains.
And I can tell you that robotspeedboats are not gonna help in
the with the mountains.

(45:01):
So kind of like a psyop type ofthing.
But if you think of it in in theterms of like I was saying, that
it was gonna be used to try tocontain them economically and
not let them use their waterports, that would explain uh
things more than trying to likenecessarily cause like a regime

(45:23):
change with the robotspeedboats.
Because that's not gonna work,obviously.
So the United States islaunching a major new military
and surveillance campaign in theWestern Hemisphere, deploying an
unprecedented mix of robotic airand sea vessels to counter Latin
American drug traffickingcartels, allegedly.

(45:44):
Called Operation Southern Spear,the initiative was formally
announced Thursday by DefenseSecretary or War Secretary, Pete
Heggseth, who said through hisex account, a classic, that the
mission follows a direct orderfrom President Donald Trump.
President Trump ordered actionand Department of War is

(46:05):
delivering, Hegseth said.
So that last sentence rightthere is like very Monroeist

(46:26):
type of thing.
Like the Western Hemisphere isours.
There was even a secret societyduring the Civil War where a
bunch of Masonic Confederateleaders all got together and
were going to make South Americabe like a uh another part of
America because they're ourbackyard.
So even goes back to the CivilWar of people thinking like

(46:49):
this, and the Founding Fatherseven.
The campaign will be led to orbe led by Joint Task Force
Southern Spear in coordinationwith U.S.
Southern Command and U.S.
Naval Forces, Southern Command,U.S.
4th Fleet, headquartered atNaval Station, Mayport in
Florida.
Operations are expected to beginlater this month.

(47:11):
In a statement, 4th Fleetofficials described Southern
Spear as a significant step inthe Navy's evolving hybrid fleet
campaign, which integratesrobotic and autonomous systems
with traditional naval forces.
Southern Spear willoperationalize a heterogeneous
mix of robotic and autonomoussystems to support the detection
and monitoring of illicittrafficking while learning

(47:34):
lessons for other theaters.
See, this is very, veryimportant.
They're saying that this is justlike a scientific playground.
They're gonna get to like havefun and try to integrate these
killer robots into our systemsbecause I'm sure that our people
are watching Russia and Ukraineand how fast drones have been

(47:56):
integrated into both sidesthere.
How fast things are moving.
Uh I think I had shown somevideo one time of like a drone
getting uh taken down byelectronic countermeasures by
like get being jammed.
The Russians are flying fiberoptic drones now.

(48:20):
So the ground is just covered infiber optic cables everywhere.
Like the same cables that runyour internet are what is
running these uh drones now.
So they're not they're they wentfrom wireless to wired, back to
wired drones, because they'renot jammable.
Anyways, um America is very,very far behind the drone game,

(48:43):
so this is them trying to catchup while also trying to crush
them economically.
So it's like a two-part.
They're getting toscientifically experiment with
their killer drones and beingable to like starve all these
poor people and uh keep themsequestered, keep their
technology away, uh, so it's awin-win for them.

(49:07):
And the learning lessons forother theaters, obviously,
that's talking about furtherconflict with China or Russia as
well, because they're gonna beheavily into drones, and we
can't do it yet.
So this is us trying to use somedrones on some poor farmers so
that we can figure out how touse them, because we don't have
them integrated.
This will help develop criticaltechniques and procedures for

(49:28):
integrating RAS into themaritime environment.
According to the Navy, they willdeploy long-dwell robotic
surface vessels designed forpersistent ocean patrols, small
robotic interceptor boatscapable of high-speed
maneuvering, vertical takeoffand landing robotic aircraft for
surveillance.

(49:51):
The systems will operatealongside U.S.
Coast Guard cutters at sea andfeed intelligence into operation
centers at Fourth Fleet andJoint Intraagency Task Force
South, which coordinatesregional counter-narcotics
missions.
Officials say the deploymentwill help determine the most
effective combinations ofunmanned vehicles and manned
forces for coordinatedoperations.

(50:13):
Data that will shape Navydoctrine under Project 33.
So they're making a whole newdoctrine.
We talked about the MonroeDoctrine, and this is Navy
Doctrine Project 33.
And a doctrine is just astrategy of how to use your
assets or technology and how inwhat way.
Just because just because youhave some stuff, like how are
you gonna use it?

(50:34):
You have to figure out that theservices initiative to
accelerate robotic integrationinto fleet missions using
robotic assets is expected toincrease US presence in maritime
checkpoints, choke points, andhigh traffic zones used by drug
smuggling networks.
So they're saying that they'regonna control choke points in

(50:56):
high traffic zones for quoteunquote drug smuggling.
Has nothing to do with likeregular trade, surely, right?
Navy leaders say the systemswill also strengthen and
regional strengthen regionalsecurity cooperation by giving
partner nations access to sharedintelligence and detection
tools.

(51:16):
Operation Southern Spear is thenext step in our hybrid fleet
campaign.
Said Rear Admiral CarlosSardillo, commander of U.S.
Naval Forces, Southern Command,and U.S.
4th Fleet.
Hybrid Fleet operations increaseour collaboration with partners
in the region while advancingthe Navy's tactics, techniques,
procedures, and process.
The announcement comes amid agrowing military buildup in the

(51:38):
Southern Caribbean of a size notseen in the region for decades.
And it says we've sent theworld's largest and most
technologically advancedaircraft carrier, USS Gerald
Ford, which I'm pretty sureChina just made their biggest
aircraft carrier.
Gotta double check that, but Idon't think that's the biggest
anymore.
But so let's look at somepictures of these drone things

(52:01):
so that we can get a better ideaof what we're talking about.
This is Ukrainian Navy MaritimeDrones 2022 to 23.
So on top left, you have thefirst generation, then you see
them getting sleeker until youhave just like underwater
torpedoes with propellers andstuff.
And this is a Russian one, it'svery small.

(52:24):
I tried to get it bigger, Iwasn't able to.
So both sides have it.
Here's like a bigger version ofthe Ukrainian one.
Camera, detonator, explosive.
So you got like speedboats ladenwith explosives being controlled
by AI.
What could go wrong, right?
Let's put more uh robot killbotbombs in charge of AI AI out

(52:46):
there, right?
We need more of these.
This definitely made mesarcasting, by the way.
Let's not have robot bombseverywhere.
Uh Ukraine first generationsubsurface naval drone, electric
powered, medium endurance, reconand strike platform.
So this is another type of robotuh naval drone.

(53:08):
It's like a AI torpedo, it lookslike.
Um I just gotta say that likethe future of warfare is
starting to become uh lookingpretty bad.
And that um our War Department,State Department, Department of

(53:30):
Defense seem to be preparing forindustrial scale casualties.
They're looking to try to makelike AI medics in the field.
The only reason we would needlike AI medics that can deliver
trauma spray foam in like afraction of a second is if we're

(53:50):
having crazy casualties, youknow, like and the reason we're
gonna have crazy casualties isbecause there's gonna be drones
everywhere.
And the lethality of of WorldWar III, god forbid, it's just
gonna be unimaginable.
It's gonna make World War One oflike lobbing chemical shells at

(54:10):
each other from really far awaylook like child's play.
The precision involved and thescale of death involved is going
to be absolutely mind-boggling.
People cannot even imagine it.
And once again, this is why I'mmaking the episode is so that we
can connect all the dots herethat the concept of having

(54:33):
racist supremacist people makingthese doctrines and in charge of
these technologies is somethingwe need to push back against.
We should not have AI bombsloitering in the area for
endless amounts of time.
I mean, we need to be smarterwith our use of technology here,
and as civilians who are payingfor this stuff, this is our tax

(54:55):
dollars, we need to be the onethat says no, we need health
care, we need our roads to bedone, we need medicine and
education and safety, not morerobot bombs to go to the other
side of the planet.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
And it really brings like amoral problem to the surface uh

(55:18):
on so many different levels thatwe need to address as a as a uh
species but also as a nation.
And uh I'll talk about this realquick that um advantages of
Aerosonde VTAL UAS for navaloperations.
So I wanted to give people I'mnot gonna read this, but um, I

(55:41):
wanted to give people an idea ofwhat the robot uh vertical
takeoff surveillance craft couldlook like.
It says that this is for theNavy, so probably something like
this, but this whole thing is auh is a market.
All these defense contractors,like right now, like yesterday,

(56:02):
I think, there is a big defensecontractor market where all
these people came together andthey're selling uh all these
different robot killbots, andthey do them, they have these
giant symposiums, like asupermarket of genocidal robot
killbots.
They do them in El Paso andTexas.
Uh Todd Miller's talked aboutthis before as well.

(56:24):
It's horrifying.
You shouldn't be able to go tosome symposium of death and
destruction powered by AI.
It's absolutely insane.
But that's what's going on.
This is a business opportunityfor these people.
Massive, massive businessopportunity.
And I wanted to show one lastthing before we head out.
Shield AI reveals VTOLautonomous fighter jet dubbed

(56:46):
expat.
So this is what the future ofsome of the VTOL robot fighters
will be.
Um I guarantee you that becauseof the lethality that I'm
talking about here, that peoplethat America, that basically
everybody will start turning todrones more and more and more to

(57:09):
try to stem the losses.
Uh, because it's gonna beabsolutely astounding.
I I just can't even put it intowords.
But the Star Wars drone or droidwars and clone wars may be a lot
closer than what people areexpecting.
So I just wanted to give peoplesome food for thought of how

(57:34):
1800's ideologies are being usedto justify our robot bomb
speedcraft today, and that it'sit's not hopeless that we can
like it said, but there's fivehundred years of resistance in
the five hundred years thatthey've been trying to do this
shit, so like we can stop them.

(57:56):
We just have to organize and putour foot down, and we are doing
that, but this is our time.
And I'll go into it somewhere inother episodes, but it there's
two paths for Earth.
There's like industrialdestruction and like spiritual
life.
I mean, I don't know how to putit in a different way, but like

(58:19):
I'll talk about it more anothertime, but we're really at an
inflection point, or like wherewe have to make an ultimatum, we
have to make a decision, we'reat a split in the road, we have
to decide where we're gonna goas a species.
So I hope this will give youguys some inspiration and
clarity as to where we're at andwhere we need to go and how to

(58:40):
protect our future from stufflike this.
And for me, I don't want Americato be isolationist whether or
not it's at the top of theempire or the pyramid, at the
top of the pyramid scheme, orthe bottom of the pyramid
scheme.
I don't agree with the pyramidscheme in general.
We should not have a Ponzipyramid scheme as the earth

(59:03):
government.
So we need everybody uh insolidarity, all nations of the
earth, all colors of peopleworking together to try to make
the earth better.
And we've never been closer tothat than where we are.
I know with all of this stuffthat I just read, it doesn't
feel like that, but that's whythey're doing this, is because

(59:24):
all of the these underdogcountries are all coming
together now, and there's achance for a new world.
It's not even a chance, there'sa new world already here that
they're trying to contain withthe tariffs and the robot fleet.
This is an act of desperation,and I see it as that.
We all need to see it as that.

(59:46):
Uh, and it's the death throes, Iwould say, of the empire.
We're we're in the last days ofthe empire and good riddance to
the past 500 years of hegemonyand racism.
We will leave that in the pastand we'll have an New future of
Earth, of all of us together.
And we're gonna do it.
We're closer than ever likethis.

(01:00:08):
So I'll be making some morestuff and uh welcome back, guys.
Definitely keep on uh stickingaround and be looking forward to
some more stuff.
Probably next week.
So adios.

SPEAKER_02 (01:00:30):
Go never stopping, I'm keeping it code.

This ain't a fluke.
I seen it way before it everhappened.
He gave me the view.
I had to put in my time on theTV, it's coming in soon.
I couldn't leave it all up to avariant or an experience.
You gotta get up and do what itdo.
