Fan-favorite Tom Fowler (twitter.com/tombfowler) returns to update us on Britain’s undercover policing inquiry. Since 1968, the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) and the National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NOPIU) targeted over one thousand political campaigns and activist groups, with undercover officers tasked with abusing and manipulating members of the public all in the name of undermining political participation. 

You can check out more from Tom’s work at spycops.info, where he has been detailing the national inquiry into the SDS’ activities, the lives that were forever altered and details on just who these officers were and how they operated.

Episode 242: Spycops III

Wanted man Robert Flummerfelt (twitter.com/RadicalMzungu) comes to us from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to talk militarized conservation, neo-colonialism, and wholesale rape and murder in the name of environmentalism.

UNLOCKED: Episode 241: Walk In The Park

We discuss the equal parts terrifying and stupid possibility that Trump or an associate actually tried to sell nuclear secrets to the Saudis, and all the insane ramifications for domestic and world politics. Then, we’re joined by Tom and Tarence of the Trillbillies to talk about the recent catastrophic flooding in Kentucky, and how the years of government neglect and industrial mining in the region have exacerbated the disaster. Also, prayers up for our boy Salman Rushdie.
