*Striking against U.S. Imperialism in one territory will strike against U.S. Imperialism everywhere. When we wage and win the war against U.S. Imperialism in our homeland, that in turn positively…

Psychedelic rock during the 1960s is incredibly symbolic because it was a time of incredible censorship under the military dictatorship of Pak Tung-hee.
And in saying that psychedelic rock became a symbol of speaking out, the essence of rock in general historically has always been fundamentally based on concepts of anti-institutionalism and as a voice for black people in African-American contexts to, I guess, express themselves in a non-traditional format.
In saying that, you know, I want to ground ourselves within the realities of the Redfern context, of our localized context.
And so before we even begin to kind of handle these very poignant conversation topics, I'd first like to acknowledge that we're broadcasting on unceded Gadigal land.
This land has been in the hands of generations of Gadigal custodians for thousands of years before us, and they will continue to It will continue to be in their hands long after us.
And I want to, I guess, carry that into the storytelling that we do here at FBI Radio every day, and especially today.
And so I would like to pay my respects to the Gadigal elders of past and present and Red Fern historically is, you know, a place of black theatre, of storytelling as an act of resistance and radio is not divorced from that context and is in fact fundamental to that context.
So today's episode, we're exploring the materialization of imperialism, the presence of military surveillance in places locally like Pine Gap, but also how the imperialist war machine is supported by the governments of countries like the Philippines and South Korea.
And as migrant diaspora whose homelands are plundered by U.S. imperialism for the growth of the global war machine, we know that the technology used against our peoples is first tested, sharpened, and perfected on First Nations peoples.
And with this in mind, we must actively guard against subsuming into settlerhood and act in solidarity with First Nations peoples supporting their fight for liberation against the settler colonial state.
And we honor this in all the work we do and carry this into our conversation today.
So this conversation is about waging war against US imperialism, the heavy military arm that isn't necessarily just contained to the US, the United States geographical borders, but just how far the tendrils of this machine reaches internationally.
