Episode 44: How Racist Doctrines Fuel Today’s Robotic Wars And What We Can Do

When 1800s Ideology Meets 21st-Century Killbots

Operation Southern Spear • Neomonroeism • AI • Military • Environmentalism 

We connect the Monroe Doctrine’s racist roots to today’s “hybrid fleet” of AI boats and drones aimed at Venezuela, showing how old imperial logic is driving new autonomous warfare. We argue for North–South solidarity, demilitarized tech, and budgets that fund care over killbots.

• Operation Southern Spear as testbed for AI maritime warfare
• Monroeism and Jim Crow as linked ideologies of control
• Health care weaponised through sanctions and blockades
• Necropolitics and outsourced morality to autonomous systems
• BRICS, trade diversification and choke-point containment
• Drone swarms, escalation risk and industrial-scale casualties
• A practical case for solidarity, climate security and civil investment


Necropolitics is a sociopolitical theory of the use of social and political power to dictate how some people may live and how some must die.

Look like child's play. The precision involved and the scale of death involved is going to be absolutely mind-boggling. People cannot even imagine it. And once again, this is why I'm making the episode is so that we can connect all the dots here that the concept of having racist supremacist people making these doctrines and in charge of these technologies is something we need to push back against. We should not have AI bombs loitering in the area for endless amounts of time. I mean, we need to be smarter with our use of technology here, and as civilians who are paying for this stuff, this is our tax dollars. We need to be the one that says no, we need health care, we need our roads to be done, we need medicine and education and safety, not more robot bombs to go to the other side of the planet. This is absolutely ridiculous. And it really brings like a moral problem to the surface of on so many different levels.

SPEAKER_04: 1:36

I can be bad man in turn to the joke. I'm trying to stay focused. I see it, I want it, that focus, then focus. And while I'm solid in my head, when I give it to Allah, he blessed me with more and more overflow.

SPEAKER_01: 1:48

Hello, welcome to Inspired Earth. It has been way too long since I've made an episode. And welcome back everybody. I'm happy to be here making another one. I've been thinking of you guys basically like every day. Uh I'm not even joking. Like sometimes multiple times a day. I'll be sitting there thinking, man, I need to make a podcast episode. I'm sure there's tons of people all waiting, especially because of how bizarre everything has been lately. Um but what I'm gonna be talking about today is Operation Southern Spear specifically. Uh I just have some thoughts that I gotta put out there about it, and then I'm gonna be making a more uh bizarre episode on it that I think you guys will like. I'm not gonna say anything more than that. So uh with yeah, without much ado, I just wanted to say hello and that I was thinking of you guys, and thank you to all the new people that have joined the podcast, and we're gonna talk about Operation Southern Spear, which Pete Heggseth, the Secretary of War, or aka Secretary of Defense, has announced uh that we're sending a robotic fleet to Venezuela. And it's very interesting that we have this robotic fleet going to Venezuela because they're justifying it with 1800's era laws and ideology, and it's just blatant racism and colonialism. And to be using robots for colonialism in 2025 is is very striking. So we're gonna be delving into this connection between the old thought and the new thought, and it's almost like the two different worlds of Earth, of the past and the future, are coming together in the present right now, and I'm gonna be elaborating on that on a couple episodes as well. Of how it just seems like we have uh like different um worldviews or or even earths seemingly existing at the same time. Uh so we're gonna go into a Swedish publication, I believe this is Swedish, The Fear for Another Revolution slash colonialism, the evolution of the Munro Doctrine as an instrument of race racist domination and hegemony in the Caribbean by Juan Velazquez in the Institution for Culture Vitenskopper, and this is 2021. Um Social Integration and Globalization, I think is maybe the publication that was in. So summary, I believe that's what that says. The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak seems to have changed the history of humanity in a before and after it. Upon its beginning, environmentalists were happy of the return of hap of wild animals to urban centers and to halt the global emissions. But when the numbers of deaths and infected grew, this is badly translated, I can already tell. So if if there's something not grammatically correct, let's just assume that it's the uh translator. It was evident that the black and colored populations in the North Atlantic powers were most affected. The situation framed a powerful return of anti-racist and anti-colonial mobilizations headed by the Black Lives Matter movement. At the same time, North Atlantic empires used their military power to repress their own populations and to capture medical devices on the seas. Moreover, they intensified it. Their economic sanctions with the naval blockade against the Caribbean nations had risen against their hegemonies. So this little bit right here about capturing medical devices on the seas, I think, is very telling and important because it talks about the weaponization and segregation of medical devices and healthcare, even back that long ago. So you would see that in from all time since then. The book Tuberculosis. Um I can't remember the rest of the title, but you could probably just type in tuberculosis book and find it. It talks about how it with AIDS and tuberculosis and all these different diseases that it the health care and treatment to it are like sequestered away, and they try not to let poor people have medical um care. And by they I mean the rich and the people in control of all these systems in government. So we see from the past like 300 years the weaponization of health care, which is very interesting. Um I just felt like that needed to be noted. That's such a small sentence, but a big big uh meaning to it. Moreover, they intensified their economic sanctions with a naval blockade against the Caribbean nations that had risen against their hegemonies. Hmm. Sounds familiar. As as during the colonial piracies of the 1700s, the North Atlantic powers coordinated how to confiscate gold reserves, bank accounts, and subsidiary companies with operations in the US and Europe. In open violation of the Charter of the United Nations, its financial institutions followed the Monroe Doctrine, a consensus between the US and its North Atlantic allies to intervene in the countries of the Americas. This time the doctrine was used to cut off access to the credit to Venezuela and Cuba for the acquisition of medicines and hospital equipment. So again, we see this repeated pattern of the weaponization of health care and uh uh not allowing technologies and treatments to get to poor people or to targeted uh nations who dare to go against the empire, such as Europe or the United States, or you know, the empire was traditionally uh white institutions, so this is goes back to racist ideology, all of this healthcare stuff, which is pretty wild. Not a lot of people are connecting this, but just as the article begins with, uh people are now starting to connect this. For their part, these Caribbean nations controlled the pandemic focusing on the Cuban health prevention model developed since the 1960s. Cuba went even further and lent its medical personnel to some 60 countries in the global south and in Europe. Fitz 2020, is their citing. Turning medical care into an instrument of solidarity with whom Franz Fannin calls the wretched of the earth. So they're making health care accessible to poor people. But as if very little had changed in 200 years of history, the response from the liberal regimes to Cuba and Venezuela and Europe and the Americas continued to be indifference, harassment, and racism. This chapter addresses the rise and fall of the Monroe Doctrine as an instrument of the North Atlantic colonial dominance, as will be exemplified below. Through the years of Monroe Doctrine has developed into an international consensus among na North Atlantic white colonial elites to freeze black and brown populations and Caribbean and Latin American societies in a perpetual state of exploitation and submission to their interests. So this is a consensus among all North Atlantic white colonial elites. And we could see that being called the Five Eyes Alliance today, who some would put Israel pretty close to that alliance as well, like a six eye alliance. And that's all uh white supremacist colonial civilizations that have this ideology. However, at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, the already active support of Russia and China to Venezuela and to Cuba may have disrupted this hegemony to the grade of contesting the North Atlantic powers' military and economic dominance. So this is when the conflagration that's kind of happening right now or or leading up to it started. Is this the end of North Atlantic dominance in the Caribbean, or is it the start of yet another era of much more enlarged bourgeois or liberal imperial dominance? To answer this question, the chapter recounts some historical events around 1803, 1903, and 2003, until today, which this is 2021, that's when this was written. To stress the domination of North Atlantic racism to ensure the hegemony of the Euro-American Civilization Project. In the next section, the text combines these temporalities around the relationship between the domination from Foucault and the hegemony from Gromsky to show how racism shirt serves to perpetuate its coloniality around the fear of turning into another Haiti, Cuba, Cuba, or Venezuela. So this shows how far back it goes and the beginnings of how this current standoff is had arisen with the COVID-19 pandemic, America losing its hegemonic power, Russia and China gaining strength, BRICS gaining strength. Uh I'll just go ahead and say now that like I think a lot of Operation Southern Spear is going to be about limiting the the causeways and waterways around these newly uh tempted BRICS nations or the or some of the ones that are about to be BRICS or could be versus the ones that already are. Um they're basically just trying to like isolate these nations economically using these robots robot speedboats. So uh this is from 2019. Monroeism is the other side of Jim Crow, the side, the side of facing the South. So Jim Crow in the North, and this Monroeism is like the Jim Crow of the South. This forum of Sao Paulo of Washington, D.C. marks a significant step forward in building North-South solidarity on behalf of economic and social justice throughout the hemisphere and respect for the sovereign equality of nations. The forum comes on the heels of the defense of Venezuelan Embassy by the Embassy Protection Collective. It takes place amid growing nationwide direct action by the Never Again Is Now movement and allies to shut down the concentration camps and restore dignified treatment of Central American refugees. And it is held during the days of the protest over the failure of the Department of Justice to prosecute NYPD police officers for the murder of Eric Garner, an officer who is still on the city table. These experiences highlight the white supremacist link between the institutional racism within U.S. borders and neoliberal offensive by Washington and its right-wing allies against the Bolivarian resistance and popular sectors in Latin America and the Caribbean. So Eric Garner, I think he got killed for breaking up a fight. And they tried to sell tried to say he was selling cigarettes, but the video just showed him breaking up a fight and like they shot him. So he tried to stop people from fighting and and was killed. And uh the NYPD guy got away with it. But so some of this stuff is gonna sound like it's happening now, but this was in 2019, so we have to remember that. And as far as the dignified treatment of Central American refugees and the ending of concentration camps, what they're talking about is that El Salvador prison that we all saw where they had sent people, and uh Todd Miller had talked about it on the episode that we had had that we talked about the Latin American stuff. Uh all of his books highlight this very heavily, uh and you can see like an on-the-ground perspective on this. A lot of people are just now learning about this and learning that this has been going on for a long time. As all of this has been. That's kind of the point of this episode, is this is not new, but what's new is using this stuff to defend robots or the use of like killbots, robot speedboat killbots laden with explosives. The Trump administration has stepped up the necropolitics of white supremacy and white plutocracy, which now expresses itself in the police surveillance state at home and Monroeism abroad. And I had to look up what necropolitics is because I wanted to make sure I knew what they were saying here. It says necropolitics is a sociopolitical theory of the use of social and political power to dictate how some people may live and how some people may die. Um, I guess you could call that eugenics or maybe even ethnic cleansing. And I would say that that's what the big the BBB was, the big bigger bill, big beautiful bill, July 4th. Probably make an episode about that eventually. That that's what the whole point of this is. That it's all necropolitics. They're they're choosing who is gonna die. And even during COVID, uh the Texas Attorney General at that time said, like sacrifice your your elders for the economy and go out and drink. I'm not joking, that's not a drink, or that's not a joke. That's what he said. He literally told people to just like just give up on old people and we legalize drinking and driving. You can go and get a drink and drive around now. So go do that. That's what they told everybody. And God knows how many alcoholics they created by telling people to go and drink. So police state police surveillance state at home and monro Monroeism abroad, white supremacy and plutocracy, both expressions have common historical ideology, ideological roots in Europe, and European supremacy of the 15th century and the invention of the Americas. Both expressions have common historical ideological roots in European supremacy of the fifteenth century and the invention of the Americas. Today, this ideology of conquest and subjugation continues to inflict colonial wounds on Afric Afro descendant and original peoples. These wounds are the result of multiple hierarchies of domination, including race, class, gender, identity, nationality, religion, and location. The idea of a colonial wound is not to suggest fatalism. History is not over, nor is it exclusively written from the viewpoint of the global north. Five hundred years of European aggression against America India has been met by five hundred years of resistance. But not only resistance, despite setbacks, the so-called Pink Tide represents a significant advancement of the decolonizing project that extends back to 1492, and will not cease until all of the peoples of America India recover their sovereignty. Today we come together North and South to affirm our co-responsibility for building a new world, one in which many worlds can fit in, to use a Zapatista expression. Tonight I would like to examine three fronts in this project of transformation, of which the Embassy Protection Collective, the protests against the concentration camps, and the outrage over police terror are emblematic. I suspect something has changed in us in a very positive way, as a result of thirty-seven days of resistance by the Embassy Protection Collective and their supporters. The collective defended the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington, DC at the invitation of the constitutional government of President Nicolas Maduro. The collective inside the embassy and supporters outside had to confront the racist, misogynist, and homophobic attacks of those of the Guadillo supporters, who voiced support for the criminal U.S. economic sanctions and U.S. intervention, US military intervention against their own people. This was written in 2019. Even older than the last article. When it became clear that the collective would not be intimidated by either Guadillo supporters or the Secret Service, and the support for the collective and the streets was continuing to grow, the police seized the embassy grounds and arrested the members of the collective who were inside. Since this police action was a serious violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, the department lost moral and legal ground while the collective fortified North South Solidarity and exposed the farce farcical nature of the shadow government of interim President Juan Guadillo, who there was no election, and the State Department of the US government just came out and said, This guy's the president now. So they said that the election was fake, and then there was other times that there wasn't even election, and they would try to put people in charge. The fight for fair immigration policies. Here at home, we are also mindful of the struggle on the immigration front and in particular the broad-based protests against concentration camps and ICE raids. We see U.S. citizens and immigrants marching together to defend the dignity of Central American refugees. Not only have we not only have thousands of activists across the US blocked entrance to the camps, and some towns, neighborhoods are coming out to stop ICE agents from seizing members of their community. This is often spontaneous resistance extends the concept of sanctuary, which is institutional to the practice of collective responsibility. So it's not just a legislative concept of providing sanctuary, they're actually making it a collective responsibility to make sure that these people are safe. Racism at home and neo-monroism abroad. With regard to police terror inflicted on people of color, there's widespread protests aimed at ending the impunity of police who commit murder as well as the systematic practice of racial profiling. W wasn't this before Black Lives Matter? This is kind of crazy. I mean it was right before it, so. These protests are part of a larger nationwide movement aimed at reforming a racist justice system and dismantling the increasingly repressive and militarized police slash surveillance state. In response to all three of these assaults on human and civil rights, the Monroeist defensive in Latin America, the persecution of refugees, and the police state, there is a convergence of progressive forces which share certain core values in opposing what Martin Luther King Jr. called the three evils of militarism, poverty and racism. The alternative to necropolitics, as Argentine-Mexican philosopher Enrique Dussell points out, is to defend the growth of human life and community and in harmony with the biosphere. That's excellent. I love that. The Zapatista National Liberation Army expressed well the spirit of today's North-South Solidarity in their June 2005 six declaration from the Forest of La Condona. The EZLN at the time was reflecting on more than a decade of struggle in international solidarity since the indigenous uprisings of 1994 in Chiapas. The first thing we see is that our hearts are not the same as before. When we began our struggle, it is bigger now, because we have touched the hearts of many good people, and we also see our heart has been hurt, or we can say more wounded. And it is not that it is wounded on account of trickery perpetrated on us by bad governments, but that when we touch the hearts of others, then we are also touching their pains. It is as though we see ourselves in a mirror. Today our hearts too are not the same. In this moment of danger, we too can see ourselves as if in a mirror, and in this mirror we can identify a colonial wound caused by the same historic maladies. I see this so clearly. Such a good line right there. From the time of the conquest of the American and the transatlantic slave trade up to contemporary Monroeism and the new Jim Crow, some currents in Europe, European and US political philosophy have justified the subjugation of non-European peoples. As early as 1550, a debate took place before the Royal Council of Valid Valid Validolidolid over the humanity of the Indians, and whether Spain was justified in waging war against them. For more for modern Uran political philosophy, the rights of man were generally not intended for Africans, indigenous people, women, or those without property. A lot of people forget you could be white back then, but you also had to own property. Which is interesting. And we're starting to get through this article here, so hang on with me before we get to the robots. We've got to get the the old before we can get to the new. Monroeism and the new Jim Crow, two sides of the same coin. We can still perceive the legacy of European supremacy in case anyone has forgotten. In US exceptionalism, this exceptionalism claims noble ends, but it is a real face manifested in a racist criminal justice system and Washington's drive to recolonize Latin America and in the ongoing atrocity of concentration camps on U.S. soil. Again, this was not written in 2025, this was six years ago. Let's be clear, Monroeism is the other side of Jim Crow, the side facing South. The year 1989 revealed deep cracks in the historic claims of European and later US world supremacy. Political theorist Francis Fukiyama suggested that with the fall of the Soviet Union, 1989 to 1991, the end of history was upon us. He did not mean the world was literally about to end. But that politics and economics had arrived at a definite triumph of capitalism over socialism, but his pronouncement was premature. During that same year there was an uprising by the Bravo Pueblo of Venezuela, the Caracazo Car Caracazo Caracazo Caracazo, sorry, sorry. In response to neoliberal reform measures imposed by the President Carlos Andreas Perez, the same the same champions of the idea that markets ought to be free from government interference had no qualms making use of the state's monopoly on violence to impose the adjustment imperatives of finance capital on a nation which the majority of citizens lived in abject poverty. Perez authorized the use the military use of lethal force, and hundreds, if not thousands, of mostly poor, Afro-descendant, and working class Venezuelans were gunned down in the streets of Caracas. So he says that he's going to bring in neoliberal reforms to put free market capitalism in charge and then use the state's monopoly on violence, so because like only the state can commit violence legally to kill off all of these people, all of the poor people who are like disagreeing with him. One year, or the m the Monroe Doctrine versus the Bolivari Bol Bolivarian alternative, sorry, the Monroe Doctrine versus the Bolivarian alternative. One year after the Caracazo, the first meeting of the Forum of Sao Paulo in 1990 was held in Brazil to discuss ways to reverse the neoliberal tide that had been exacerbated, that had exacerbated economic inquality, privatized public services, eroded labor rights, compromised national sovereignty, and imposed austerity in the name of the ever elusive future prosperity. Sounds like what's going on now as well. Ten years later, in December of 1998, Hugo Chavez would be elected president of Venezuela on a popular platform which offered an alternative to the neoliberal model, the Bolivarian alternative. Over the past two decades, one of the principal targets of Monerosum has been Venezuela, not only on account of its oil reserves and other natural resources, but also because since the election of Chavez in December 1998, this Bolivarian Republic has defied Washington agenda. This defiance involved forging a path forward towards regional independence and integration, a path that ushered in the pink tide of progressive governments and social movements which lifted millions out of poverty, reclaimed national sovereignty over natural resources, and revalorized the cultures of original and Afro-descendant peoples. In the face of a US-NATO alliance bent on world domination, the Bolivarian alternative has welcomed the emergence of a multipolar world. As a result in direct collision with minorism, the Bolivarian Revolution has led to an expansion of commerce between Latin America and China, Russia, and other trading partners. So this is going back to the BRICS thing that I was talking about. All of these different s quote unquote uh South nations, or th we used to call them third world nations, all the the global south, that's what we're calling it now, are all uniting, and they, for the first time in history, BRICS in the global south and the third world countries, have more people and more money and more infrastructure, more trade than America or the West or Europe. And we're we're far behind at this point. And that's what the tariffs are supposed to be. They're punishing the whole world and like stomping them down, and it's extracting m uh wealth from the whole world to give it to America to keep us on top. This is like the supremacist, hegemonic, uh imperialist ideology that we're talking about that keeps on being a pattern throughout all of these socioeconomic and geopolitical historical relations. That have developed for the past 300 years. It all has to do with like keeping the right people at the top. And but the right people are rich white landowning people. They're the ones that maintain all the secrets. They're the ones that with the monopoly of power on the violence. So that's what this is talking about. And why we're gonna be using robots to try to stomp out all of these nations trying to be independent, trying to assert their independence right here. So uh where was I? In the eyes of the US policymakers from both major political parties, keyword both m major political parties, the unpardonable offense of Cuba, Nicaragua, Bolivia, and Venezuela has been to assert their independence, diversify their trading partnerships, and chart post-neoliberal and post-colonial alternatives to the Washington consensus. How dare they be independent and sovereign and want the money from their gold mines to go to their people? That money for the oil and gold should come to Washington, DC, and the rich bureaucrats and aristocrats, that's how it should be. That's that's the natural order of things, of course. Anything else is like a zebra eating a lion. Uh brown people can't get rich. That's just crazy. Like that's what they actually believe. That's what this is going to. So uh that's very enlightening and gives a lot of perspective and context for the current events. So we're almost done here. Let's let's finish up. But this at the end it starts to get really important. So Monroeism inflicts a colonial wound in the south, and the new Jim Crow keeps open analogous wounds in the north. But the two faces of the coloniality of power, to use Annabelle Quadono's term, are manifest in Trump's zero-tolerance immigration policy, a policy for which Obama's mass deportation machine paved the way. The Central American refugee is a victim of both Monroeism and white nationalism. Context is critical here. The Obama administration created the conditions driving refugees flows out driving refugee flows out of Honduras by backing the coup against democratically elected President Manuel Zaleya in June 2009, which led to a repressive regime, the imposition of neoliberal experiments, and a rapid deterioration in public security. But that's not all. This is when the migrant caravans were coming up. Remember, we had like a 10,000-person caravan coming up, and nobody asked, where does a group of 10,000 people all get together from? How do we have like a mass that big all coming at once? It's because Obama and Trump destroying Central American governments. And here we are doing it again. Or trying to. Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail. Even when we succeed in toppling the government, we fail in our long-term objectives of well, I guess depends on what objective you want to believe. If you want to believe that we're helping them, then we fail. But if you believe what this is saying, and that our our true goal, despite all the propaganda, is to destabilize these nations so that they can't compete and can't integrate. And that's the main purpose. So in that sense, we do succeed when we topple things. Even if we fail and make things unstable, that's still uh a success for us. So it what is success and what is failure is it gets really blurry with this sort of stuff. And you have to have the context, otherwise, it gets really confusing. It is these historic blows to democracy have led to the current Honduran migration north. Those Hoduran, Honduran and Central American migrants who survived the trick through North Mexico to seek asylum in the south in the US now face the dehumanizing ordeal of concentration camps, family separation, or deportation. Some have already died as a result of their internment. Which it's crazy. Again, this is six years old. U.S. necropolitics at home and abroad. Grassroots resistance to the necropolitics that has come characterized U.S. domestic and foreign policy is growing. The unavoidable faces of the victims of the prevailing system, both at home and abroad, are increasingly becoming the bad conscience of an exhausted liberalism. What centrist Democrats cannot fathom is that there is no way out of this wasteland created by neoliberal capitalism. Short of transforming the prevailing economic system, and this means pushing back against the increasingly coercive mechanisms of social control. The rehabilitation of Monroeism and the new Jim Crow have been the result of a deliberate U.S. bipartisan projects. For example, thanks to bipartisan consensus, the war on drugs has led to massive incarceration. The endless war on terror continues to provide political cover for the militarization of policing and universal domestic surveillance. Yet the FBI acknowledges that the main source of domestic terrorism comes from the ranks of white supremacists. Which this was written before we scrubbed all of that data. We've the DHS and DAOJ and all of them under the current administration of the Cheeto Man has completely deleted all of these statistics to try to hide them. Trump is merely taking off the mask of bedrock U.S. institutional racism and militarism that has been festering long before he was elected. Trump is no is no lone villain. He reflects the entrenched interests of the corporate state, which with all of the Epstein files and emails coming out right now, Trump is no lone villain is like very important to realize. He's just a a spokesperson for a whole web of villains that are behind the scenes of all of our major institutions and have been for a long time. Even before the Nazis came around, this sort of stuff was going on. But since 1945 and the 50s and integrating all of the Nazis with Operation Paperclip, this stuff is on hyperdrive and trying to defeat the Soviets. That that anything that's considered the socialist boogeyman or whatever, even if it's just people trying to be independent, they will uh uh uh use all of these atrocities and heinous tactics to destroy them, including withholding their m health care and medicine. Which uh we're watching that with Israel and Gaza as well, that Israel says they have to hold back medicine from starving people to protect themselves, allegedly, you know, that it and it's the same thing here that I would like to say as well before we finish talking about the Monroe Doctrine, because we're on the last paragraph, that still to this day people will come out in defense of the Monroe Doctrine saying that is America trying to defend themselves by trying to draw draw a line in the sand on all of these nations around us so that Europe can't come in and try to steal our land and resources again. Or that's what it was in the past was Europe, and now they're saying China or Russia, and it's just it's such garbage. This is not protective, this is not defensive, this is aggressive, it's imperialism, it's blatant. Venezuela's not sending robot fleets to us, we're sending them to them. So, I mean it's very obvious. Let's read this last paragraph here. What the corporate parties generally omit from their analysis of domestic and foreign policy is the common historical ideological roots of neo-Munroism and the Jim Crow, the new Jim Crow, both of which are, in some sense, two sides of the same coin. While no doubt the impact of these twin maladies on their victims is conditioned by local factors, both inflict colonial wounds. By decolonizing our way of comprehending history, we are more likely to overcome the present dangers and in North South Solidarity advance towards building a world in which many worlds fit. And I think that's a excellent ending and something that we should be emphasizing. That's kind of the point of this episode as well, and that the North and South need to form solidarity and work together towards uh a world in which many worlds can fit. And what does that mean? That means all of these different cultures and nations can all exist on Earth together, but we're gonna have to work together to deal with our environmental situation. I'm sure that you guys had seen a little bit about the AMOC or like the environment, yada yada. I know in America right now some people have more pressing matters or or it feels like you have more pressing matters, you know. Like if you if you have SNAP benefits that are not coming in and you can't feed your family, it's hard to think about the ocean, right? But it's still really important, and the ocean still ultimately affects your family, even if it's hard to think about it. And Iceland had just said that uh the North Atlantic current collapsing is a national security threat, and their government is actually looking at that. I'll probably make an episode about that sometime, but we can't deal with the ocean. Iceland, a tiny little nation, is one of the only nations on earth that's talking about the AMOT collapse. They can't deal with it themselves. It's and they're on the north. So we're gonna need people on north and south all working together to try to fix our air, atmosphere, and land, our water cycle, our carbon cycle, our nitrogen cycle, biodiversity collapse. All of these sorts of things need to be dealt with as a global um community rather than just one nation. And I think ultimately that's like a lesson that we can take from what I'm talking about here and this uh mixture of the 1800s racist ideology and current AI robot fleets of why it's important to pay attention to this and how to steer our organizational attempts at making a better world. So uh with the past in the past, let's move forward and uh I with the US robot fleet. I want you to keep in mind this that had come from uh September 5th, 2025. Pentagon signs AI deal to aid military decision making. So before we would have the military send out human beings to do these missions, right? We're we're do the bombings that we're doing in the oceans in the Atlantic and Pacific, those are with human beings. And I've got military family, and a lot of them are saying, you know, this is illegal. We're not supposed to be doing these sorts of operations. The United Nations has said that our operations in Venezuela and the Pacific and Caribbean are illegal. So that says a lot. And by having AI start to go out there and do these bombings, I think it's a it's a moral um like almost like moral escapism or or trying to think of the term for it. It's it's casting the moral duties onto a robot rather than a human, outsourcing morality, let's say that. Rather than like putting it on a human and having the human break the law, it's a robot now. So it's not as big of a deal, you know. We're sending robots to do this. So I feel like that's important as well. That they're trying to skirt the law as well as the morality of it by using robots rather than humans, and that will continue to increase in the future, I believe. Let's go into the specifics of U.S. launches Operation Southern Spear, unveiling new robotic fleet to target cartels. Uh, one last thing before I start reading, I kind of think that this is maybe like a psyop, like a psychological operation. What do I mean by that and why? I mean in that if I'm a Venezuelan farmer or somebody who, you know, has lived relatively separately from technology, like some of the people in Venezuela do, if you get told that they're sending uh the United States, the biggest, most baddest country in the world, is sending a robot fleet to try to kill you and kill your country members and like have changed things politically, which I'm sure if you were to go and read the definition of terrorism and then compare what we're doing right now to the definition of terrorism, it would you would get a very interesting uh response, maybe, of what you think it we're actually doing there. But so we're we're I think that that would be terrifying as a farmer to get told that they're sending robot fleets to come and try to kill people. However, with that being said, Venezuela is a massive, massive country. It has jungles and mountains. And I can tell you that robot speedboats are not gonna help in the with the mountains. So kind of like a psyop type of thing. But if you think of it in in the terms of like I was saying, that it was gonna be used to try to contain them economically and not let them use their water ports, that would explain uh things more than trying to like necessarily cause like a regime change with the robot speedboats. Because that's not gonna work, obviously. So the United States is launching a major new military and surveillance campaign in the Western Hemisphere, deploying an unprecedented mix of robotic air and sea vessels to counter Latin American drug trafficking cartels, allegedly. Called Operation Southern Spear, the initiative was formally announced Thursday by Defense Secretary or War Secretary, Pete Heggseth, who said through his ex account, a classic, that the mission follows a direct order from President Donald Trump. President Trump ordered action and Department of War is delivering, Hegseth said. So that last sentence right there is like very Monroeist type of thing. Like the Western Hemisphere is ours. There was even a secret society during the Civil War where a bunch of Masonic Confederate leaders all got together and were going to make South America be like a uh another part of America because they're our backyard. So even goes back to the Civil War of people thinking like this, and the Founding Fathers even. The campaign will be led to or be led by Joint Task Force Southern Spear in coordination with U.S. Southern Command and U.S. Naval Forces, Southern Command, U.S. 4th Fleet, headquartered at Naval Station, Mayport in Florida. Operations are expected to begin later this month. In a statement, 4th Fleet officials described Southern Spear as a significant step in the Navy's evolving hybrid fleet campaign, which integrates robotic and autonomous systems with traditional naval forces. Southern Spear will operationalize a heterogeneous mix of robotic and autonomous systems to support the detection and monitoring of illicit trafficking while learning lessons for other theaters. See, this is very, very important. They're saying that this is just like a scientific playground. They're gonna get to like have fun and try to integrate these killer robots into our systems because I'm sure that our people are watching Russia and Ukraine and how fast drones have been integrated into both sides there. How fast things are moving. Uh I think I had shown some video one time of like a drone getting uh taken down by electronic countermeasures by like get being jammed. The Russians are flying fiber optic drones now. So the ground is just covered in fiber optic cables everywhere. Like the same cables that run your internet are what is running these uh drones now. So they're not they're they went from wireless to wired, back to wired drones, because they're not jammable. Anyways, um America is very, very far behind the drone game, so this is them trying to catch up while also trying to crush them economically. So it's like a two-part. They're getting to scientifically experiment with their killer drones and being able to like starve all these poor people and uh keep them sequestered, keep their technology away, uh, so it's a win-win for them. And the learning lessons for other theaters, obviously, that's talking about further conflict with China or Russia as well, because they're gonna be heavily into drones, and we can't do it yet. So this is us trying to use some drones on some poor farmers so that we can figure out how to use them, because we don't have them integrated. This will help develop critical techniques and procedures for integrating RAS into the maritime environment. According to the Navy, they will deploy long-dwell robotic surface vessels designed for persistent ocean patrols, small robotic interceptor boats capable of high-speed maneuvering, vertical takeoff and landing robotic aircraft for surveillance. The systems will operate alongside U.S. Coast Guard cutters at sea and feed intelligence into operation centers at Fourth Fleet and Joint Intraagency Task Force South, which coordinates regional counter-narcotics missions. Officials say the deployment will help determine the most effective combinations of unmanned vehicles and manned forces for coordinated operations. Data that will shape Navy doctrine under Project 33. So they're making a whole new doctrine. We talked about the Monroe Doctrine, and this is Navy Doctrine Project 33. And a doctrine is just a strategy of how to use your assets or technology and how in what way. Just because just because you have some stuff, like how are you gonna use it? You have to figure out that the services initiative to accelerate robotic integration into fleet missions using robotic assets is expected to increase US presence in maritime checkpoints, choke points, and high traffic zones used by drug smuggling networks. So they're saying that they're gonna control choke points in high traffic zones for quote unquote drug smuggling. Has nothing to do with like regular trade, surely, right? Navy leaders say the systems will also strengthen and regional strengthen regional security cooperation by giving partner nations access to shared intelligence and detection tools. Operation Southern Spear is the next step in our hybrid fleet campaign. Said Rear Admiral Carlos Sardillo, commander of U.S. Naval Forces, Southern Command, and U.S. 4th Fleet. Hybrid Fleet operations increase our collaboration with partners in the region while advancing the Navy's tactics, techniques, procedures, and process. The announcement comes amid a growing military buildup in the Southern Caribbean of a size not seen in the region for decades. And it says we've sent the world's largest and most technologically advanced aircraft carrier, USS Gerald Ford, which I'm pretty sure China just made their biggest aircraft carrier. Gotta double check that, but I don't think that's the biggest anymore. But so let's look at some pictures of these drone things so that we can get a better idea of what we're talking about. This is Ukrainian Navy Maritime Drones 2022 to 23. So on top left, you have the first generation, then you see them getting sleeker until you have just like underwater torpedoes with propellers and stuff. And this is a Russian one, it's very small. I tried to get it bigger, I wasn't able to. So both sides have it. Here's like a bigger version of the Ukrainian one. Camera, detonator, explosive. So you got like speedboats laden with explosives being controlled by AI. What could go wrong, right? Let's put more uh robot killbot bombs in charge of AI AI out there, right? We need more of these. This definitely made me sarcasting, by the way. Let's not have robot bombs everywhere. Uh Ukraine first generation subsurface naval drone, electric powered, medium endurance, recon and strike platform. So this is another type of robot uh naval drone. It's like a AI torpedo, it looks like. Um I just gotta say that like the future of warfare is starting to become uh looking pretty bad. And that um our War Department, State Department, Department of Defense seem to be preparing for industrial scale casualties. They're looking to try to make like AI medics in the field. The only reason we would need like AI medics that can deliver trauma spray foam in like a fraction of a second is if we're having crazy casualties, you know, like and the reason we're gonna have crazy casualties is because there's gonna be drones everywhere. And the lethality of of World War III, god forbid, it's just gonna be unimaginable. It's gonna make World War One of like lobbing chemical shells at each other from really far away look like child's play. The precision involved and the scale of death involved is going to be absolutely mind-boggling. People cannot even imagine it. And once again, this is why I'm making the episode is so that we can connect all the dots here that the concept of having racist supremacist people making these doctrines and in charge of these technologies is something we need to push back against. We should not have AI bombs loitering in the area for endless amounts of time. I mean, we need to be smarter with our use of technology here, and as civilians who are paying for this stuff, this is our tax dollars, we need to be the one that says no, we need health care, we need our roads to be done, we need medicine and education and safety, not more robot bombs to go to the other side of the planet. This is absolutely ridiculous. And it really brings like a moral problem to the surface uh on so many different levels that we need to address as a as a uh species but also as a nation. And uh I'll talk about this real quick that um advantages of Aerosonde VTAL UAS for naval operations. So I wanted to give people I'm not gonna read this, but um, I wanted to give people an idea of what the robot uh vertical takeoff surveillance craft could look like. It says that this is for the Navy, so probably something like this, but this whole thing is a uh is a market. All these defense contractors, like right now, like yesterday, I think, there is a big defense contractor market where all these people came together and they're selling uh all these different robot killbots, and they do them, they have these giant symposiums, like a supermarket of genocidal robot killbots. They do them in El Paso and Texas. Uh Todd Miller's talked about this before as well. It's horrifying. You shouldn't be able to go to some symposium of death and destruction powered by AI. It's absolutely insane. But that's what's going on. This is a business opportunity for these people. Massive, massive business opportunity. And I wanted to show one last thing before we head out. Shield AI reveals VTOL autonomous fighter jet dubbed expat. So this is what the future of some of the VTOL robot fighters will be. Um I guarantee you that because of the lethality that I'm talking about here, that people that America, that basically everybody will start turning to drones more and more and more to try to stem the losses. Uh, because it's gonna be absolutely astounding. I I just can't even put it into words. But the Star Wars drone or droid wars and clone wars may be a lot closer than what people are expecting. So I just wanted to give people some food for thought of how 1800's ideologies are being used to justify our robot bomb speedcraft today, and that it's it's not hopeless that we can like it said, but there's five hundred years of resistance in the five hundred years that they've been trying to do this shit, so like we can stop them. We just have to organize and put our foot down, and we are doing that, but this is our time. And I'll go into it somewhere in other episodes, but it there's two paths for Earth. There's like industrial destruction and like spiritual life. I mean, I don't know how to put it in a different way, but like I'll talk about it more another time, but we're really at an inflection point, or like where we have to make an ultimatum, we have to make a decision, we're at a split in the road, we have to decide where we're gonna go as a species. So I hope this will give you guys some inspiration and clarity as to where we're at and where we need to go and how to protect our future from stuff like this. And for me, I don't want America to be isolationist whether or not it's at the top of the empire or the pyramid, at the top of the pyramid scheme, or the bottom of the pyramid scheme. I don't agree with the pyramid scheme in general. We should not have a Ponzi pyramid scheme as the earth government. So we need everybody uh in solidarity, all nations of the earth, all colors of people working together to try to make the earth better. And we've never been closer to that than where we are. I know with all of this stuff that I just read, it doesn't feel like that, but that's why they're doing this, is because all of the these underdog countries are all coming together now, and there's a chance for a new world. It's not even a chance, there's a new world already here that they're trying to contain with the tariffs and the robot fleet. This is an act of desperation, and I see it as that. We all need to see it as that. Uh, and it's the death throes, I would say, of the empire. We're we're in the last days of the empire and good riddance to the past 500 years of hegemony and racism. We will leave that in the past and we'll have an New future of Earth, of all of us together. And we're gonna do it. We're closer than ever like this. So I'll be making some more stuff and uh welcome back, guys. Definitely keep on uh sticking around and be looking forward to some more stuff. Probably next week. So adios.

I pay the meter, I keep in with Peter like Peter on water. I'm stepping in deep, but they know that I'm coming like find up illegal. I'm taking a chance today. Standing inside of the kitchen, I turn on the heater. I need to turn on my brothers and sisters and cousins and mothers until my believers get into it first.
