Episode Notes

A romp through the memory-holed times following 9/11 and the American war machine on auto-pilot. The American Service Members Protection Act is a direct refutation of the UN's institution of the International Criminal Court. This 2002 Bill sponsored by Jesse Helms in the Senate and Tom DeLay in the House authorized the President to send forces to invade the Hague in the Netherlands if any American is brought before the ICC for war crimes.

We also discuss the end of one specific AUMF, the one for Iraq. The Biden Administration has signaled their approval of the repeal because "...repeal of the 2002 AUMF would likely have minimal impact on current military operations."

If you have any thoughts, suggestions, angry emotes, or whatever that you'd like to send us, please reach out at [email protected]. I recognize posting this will bring us spam and I dare you to do it.

Phil and Kyle would also like to give a shout out to those of us still in the streets fighting for the rights of Palestinians and those fighting for justice and abolition of the American police state. The best way to show solidarity with those struggling against the American empire is to struggle against the empire at home.
