Critical Perspective: ICE LA Protests, Expanding Surveillance via Palantir, US-Russia-Ukraine Games, & Freedom Flotilla PR vs Armed Resistance

Vanessa and I start our Critical Perspective series by jumping into the intricacies behind the LA Protests, the LAPD, ICE, DHS, who they represent, how Israel has trained many, the agent provocateurs, and the timing of Trump bringing in mass police forces—including the National Guard—and his recent deal with Palantir. We also touch on the how and why Russia continues to push for a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict and continues conversations with Washington, despite terror attacks from Ukraine. We end with analyzing the Freedom Flotilla as a nice but distracting PR move that truly does little to aid dying Gazans, and how it actually diverts from the issue making it about the faces like Greta Thunberg, more than the Palestinians who are still dying. The many layers to these issues require a critical perspective and we intend to give you simply just that!
