BILLY BOB—Episode 160 of Blowback: Exposing Imperial Decline features hosts Billy Bob, Ian Kummer, Carlo Parcelli, and guest Greg Rosen discussing the concept of “liberal genocide”—the paradox where liberal democracies, often proclaiming human rights values, have historically engaged in or facilitated genocides to sustain oligarchic power and imperial interests. They examine multiple examples of genocidal actions post-World War II—including U.S.-backed death squads in Latin America, mass killings in Indonesia, devastation in Vietnam and Korea, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The conversation highlights Western hypocrisy, especially the stark contrast between proclaimed liberal values and actions taken abroad, with Gaza as a particularly egregious example where Western media and governments have largely ignored or justified atrocities.

KIT KLARENBERG—As legal scholar Samuel Moyn has extensively documented, the Accords played a pivotal role in decisively shifting mainstream rights discourse away from any and all economic or social considerations. More gravely, per Moyn, “the idea of human rights” was converted “into a warrant for shaming state oppressors.” Resultantly, Western imperialist brutality against purported foreign rights abusers – including sanctions, destabilisation campaigns, coups, and outright military intervention – could be justified, frequently assisted by the ostensibly neutral findings of “human rights” defenders such as Amnesty International, and HRW.
The US is complicit in genocide. Let’s stop pretending otherwise
The US government, enabled by the media, is an active participant in Israel’s atrocities in GazaApprox 12 mins • First run by The Guardian Sat 2 Aug 2025 readMEHDI HASAN—Trump’s Republican allies in the House and Senate are even more gung-ho. Forget complicity; Congress is filled with GOP cheerleaders for genocide, from Senators Tom “bounce the rubble in Gaza” Cotton to Lindsey “level the place” Graham. The newest member of the House, Randy Fine, a Republican representative of Florida, has called for the nuking of Gaza and said just days ago that Palestinians in Gaza should “starve away” until the Israeli hostages are all released. (A reminder that incitement to genocide is also a crime under Article III of the Genocide convention.) But we cannot let Democrats off the hook either. The first 16 months of this mass slaughter unfolded on a Democratic president’s watch. From the get-go, Joe Biden gave Netanyahu and his cabinet of génocidaires everything they needed

PLUS: GARLAND NIXON'S MIDDLE EAST IN DEPTH EP 56 - ATTACK ON YEMEN - STARVATION CRIME AGAINST HUMANITYby Laith MaroufApprox. 1 Hr 35 mins • Watch / readFPTV—Laith Marouf & Hadi Hotait travel to the town of Naqoura, the last Lebanese village on the Mediterranean Sea before the borders of Occupied Palestine. The town survived the war almost unscathed, but after the “ceasefire” came into effect, the Zionists in a frenzy of unadulterated satanism bulldozed or blew up almost all standing structures. The two talked to locals about the reconstruction efforts, spoke to fishermen about their plight, and visited the historic Roman water-walls on the limestone beachfront.
How U.S. Governments Are Imprisoning Opponents of Israel’s Gaza Genocide
CRAIG MURRAY—”If you thought RAF [Royal Air Force] jets were owned by the RAF, think again. The RAF squadron [was] targeted for a repaint [his euphemism for a defacement] by Palestine Action due to its [the UK Government’s] involvement in supplying [weapons to] Israel’s genocide, does not in fact belong to the RAF at all. It belongs ultimately to Polygon Global Partners LLP, a Hedge Fund.”
