A few weeks ago, members of the Houston Shia Muslim community staged a silent walkout before Sayed Ali Abbas Razawi’s sermon at a local Shia imambargah. This action was a response to Sayed Razawi's signing of the Drumlanrig Accords, an initiative marketed as “interfaith peacebuilding”, but signed alongside known Zionist-aligned figures figures and under the supervision of the British state.

The organizers of the walkout unpack what led to the walkout, the planning behind the action, and the aftermath of Sayed Razawi's departure from Houston. The group also discusses Razawi's signing of the accord within the context of the efforts for Zionist Normalization worldwide, along with an optimistic outlook for the Houston Shia community.

In the days after Operation Sindoor, Hani, Shawn, and Dana gleefully deconstruct the "Four-Day War" between India’s Hindutva regime and Pakistan’s deep state. From Bollywood-style war coverage (8:25) to Modi’s failed election stunt (26:45), the group tries to explain the ideological and cultural backdrop of the conflict, along with its geopolitical consequences. The crew examines India’s attempted leap toward hard power (41:07), draws sharp contrasts between BJP/RSS's nationalist project and Pakistan's national identity, and the real cost of Modi’s Kargil moment before signing off amidst a sleuth of disagreements between Dana and Hani — which they promise to finish the next time Dana joins the crew.

Sir, Full Support Sir.

Season 3 kicks off with Dana joining our protagonists behind the mic after a 2 year hiatus, just in time to discuss Donald Trump's ongoing Gulf tour and alleged redefining of U.S. Middle East policy (3:10). From the Abraham Accords and preservation of the petrodollar (06:30) to JCPOA 2.0 (26:45) and BRICS expansion hastening the collapse of Western Hegemony (30:20), the trio examines these issues as case studies in how imperial decay reconciles with its decline while pretending to negotiate from strength:

Trumpian Diplomacy— peace is bought, Palestine is sold.
