Fun(?) fact: while president, Nixon used to joke, “I can go in my office and pick up a telephone, and in 25 minutes, millions of people will be dead.”
That's such an evil power-trip thing to say, but also terrifying in how true it is.
@@LeoiCaangWan you ain't lying. Right before he resigned, he was so depressed and drinking so much that they had to set it up so that if Nixon were to order a nuclear strike his staff had to call Kissinger or the secretary of defense first before carrying it out.
he almost launched nukes while drunk atleast once
That is so chilling.
@@Srymak I feel like that's true of every president, it's just that we don't know about most of them.
I’m always amazed how quickly JT’s voice can go from normal to character from a John Wayne western
When ya grow up round it,
It's damn-near second nature lol
@@KP-uc1ezSecond nature???? More like Second Thought 😂😂😂😂
Texas finest communist
"My maw and paw"
We've got the "well-meaning" racist centrist liberal, the very reason why political scandals end in "-gate", and the greatest African American war criminal. Great episode as always!
concerning carter you may wish to look for:
Zaire, 1977
Guatemala, 1977
East Timor, 1977
Angola, 1978
Afghanistan, 1979
El Salvador, 1980
still a criminal
@@Srymak
What happened in Zaire specifically?
Guatemala, yeah, I guess the Mayan genocide didn't stop under him but it didn't start under him
East Timor, Angola, Afghanistan, El Salvador... yeah... yeah fuck Carter and his admin for that
When the "best" they have to offer is still a maniacally bigoted war criminal, you know they got a problem
lol I have a story: My teacher was talking about communism and it was so clearly bullshit she used the argument "SoCiAlisM iS WhEn thE GoVeRNmeNt dOEs stUfF" and every time I would argue against a point she would just keep going back to that argument meanwhile everyone in class is laughing at me because "HeS a CoMMuNisT"
I remember Nixon's resignation on my tenth birthday having to watch that shit on TV! As a ten year old I couldn't care less about politics, but I sure loved watching the Apollo moon missions thinking I might get to go to the moon base in my thirties to visit. What a joke it all turned out to be, a cruel joke.
Here in Brazil the Junior thing is quite common, as well as the other form for 'son', "Filho", and there's also "Neto" for 'grandson'. As a Junior-person, I find it funny/weird that among my family I'm called 'Juninho' (little Junior); Junior, among my parent's friends and their old neighbors (the ones who saw me as a kid, the "people of the village" as we call them) and then my first name/nickname is reserved to my social circles alone. Yeah, and there's also "Ju", which is kinda cute, I guess.
Anyway, a "big hug" to J, Kim and Yugo.
Carter also signed a deal with Panama to end the military occupation of the canal by the end of the 90s. Btw many people like to call Reagan as the neoliberal daddy and very pro global capitalism, but during Carter's presidency many domestic manufacturers moved production abroad. Also Carter in the 2000s was very critical of how Clinton/Albreight used the famine in the DPRK to get Kim Jong Il on the negotiating table if they want food aid.
Skipping over US involvement in Indonesian invasion of East Timor (and the following genocide) under Carter is a disservice to the victims
We're planning on doing a proper deep dive eventually insha'Allah, hence why I chose to omit it. It's too wide of a topic and would've derailed us too much, esp since it's relatively not spoken/known about.
@@YaBoiHakim that's great to hear, keep up the good work comrades
First Thought episode on the on going genocide in West Papua should be on the list
@@ristekostadinov2820maybe my initial comment was too harsh in tone, but I feel like they ought to at least mention Carter's involvement.
700k-1.5 Mil of our comrade also massacered by the same CIA backed president who also invade east timor
Let's goo a new edition on the all us presidents are war criminals series.
This should a fun one.
Edit: Correction it's all presidents are war criminals not just us but still excited to watch this.
DOUBLE UPLOAD 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
I grew up with the 'two sets of parents one of which is the grandparents' thing and honestly it was the best. Like, from my perspective as a kid it was just like normal, but looking back it was really good for the family, cause 1: I got to know more of my family, 2: my parents could both have jobs and not pay for a babysitter so even though we were pretty poor we weren't starving or anything, and 3: my grandpa made me a communist.
Little piggies feeding so well today with two podcast episodes and a longer style Hakim video.
and a first thought video!
Funny enough, "goober election" could actually work in this context, seeing as "goober peas" is slang for peanuts - THE VERY SAME THING CARTER WAS FUELED BY!
Please bring João Carvalho (Brazilian content producer) to Deprogram!
I was gonna ask the same thing!!! It would be such a great collab
two episodes on one friday damn yall are spoilling us
"Goober-NATO-rial"
Goober election
I didn’t even have to look it up. Grover Cleveland was president in 1886.
Aw they didn't even mention how Nixon hired Elvis Presley to be a cop
yeah this is probably my second fav miniseries of the podcast
Two episodes on the same day? We are so back
double upload????
Community question for y'all: one of the things I love most about this podcast is the chance, via guest episodes, to discover quality non-English-speaking propagandists, analysts and political entertainers. I would love to find someone who does this kind of work in German but so far I've failed to find anything beyond either "moderate" left Liberal takes or super dry Marixist stuff eg from the Rosa Luxumburg Stifftung. Anyone got any gems?? The mainstream discourse in Germany around Palestine is aweful even by the low standards we have to assume in general. Any help is much appreciated.
Might be worth asking on the subreddit if you haven't already.
we got 2 episodes on a friday??? This day is going so good
Hold the rich accountable stop blaming the poor
I always hated "gubernatorial elections" and endorse this practice of shortening it to "goober elections".
These episodes where you go over the various leaders like the US POTUS and whatnot are my fav episodes. There are contexts that we dont understand about some leaders because we arent from that country. Given that im from the US but not old enough to have remembered anyone you have talked about outside of (Obama, Clinton, Bush, Biden and 45) its great that im getting a rundown of all the awful shit they did. Cant wait for more.
It boggles my mind. One of the first things we learn about going into the military is the UCMJ- Uniform Code of Military Justice. We also learned about the Geneva Convention. Despite all that knowledge, the military must not abide by the rules of engagement.
It brings to mind all the soldiers that were prosecuted for following orders at Gitmo. While the generals and officers go unpunished. It's indoctrinated into the force to follow orders, which includes cross-service leadership.
I wish the section on Bardock Hussein Nobummer was longer and I wish they talked about Jimmy Carter’s complicity with Indonesia’s genocide on East Timor
Did I miss Hakim talk about the Carter regime's support for the military actions in East Timor? 🙃💀
One thing about Georgian politics at the time of carter every single one of them took money from the klan didn't matter who you are every politician was getting money from the klan
17:40 guess what my grandmother called Brazil Nuts.
I feel like you guys missed what Carter did with East Timor for no reason
We're planning on doing a proper deep dive eventually insha'Allah, hence why I chose to omit it. It's too wide of a topic and would've derailed us too much, esp since it's relatively not spoken/known about.
Peanuts were the poor crop that people would eat if others failed to (like potatoes in Europe). For example in the South, when the Union burned a lot of shit, people had to eat peanuts
I wanna push back hard against this, especially against the good words you said about carter. The fact that hes managed to show some basic morality just highligths how little the othee yank presidents have it. And carter despite pretty words condemmed afganistan to decacdes of war with operation cyclone. Just like isis we never have to hand it to yank presidents.
Thoughts and Prayers for Yugo 😂
Also I like how Hakim is more concerned about the cake 😂😂😂😂
Did you guys already do Ronnie Raygun?
I'm sure that will be a long and very deep episode!
As a person who has a III at the end of his name, it's my belief that the whole idea was made up by the poor folks so they could mimic the rich and the nobles.
29:11 Guantanamo Bay was built in 2002 and opened in 2003, so Carter could not have closed the base.
IDK with enough mercenaries, a small fleet of boats and a whole lotta luck...
Yall love each other so much omg 🥰🙄❤️
Hol up
JT, Hakim, Yugopnik, I have no idea if you read comments, but if you do, I want yous to know that you guys and the podcast are genuinely the only reason I'm still here. I don't know what else really to add apart from thanks for being here and being yourselves.
P.S. yugopnik is the hottest out of yous, if that matters.
AYYYYYE ANOTHER EPISODE
Double upload, double the pogchamp
As far as names, my paternal grandfather, dad and me all share the same middle name. My mom is from Appalachia and her brother goes by Jr, stuff like that seems pretty common in (white) America.
oh hey the president in 1886 was the only one to serve nonconsecutive terms, as the 22nd and 24th. might be relevant to today
Yugo calling Nixon a clase traitor at around 41 min mark is kind of confusing if you remember he loves Matt Christman. Nixon was, as Matt said many times the perfect example of a petite bushwoa(you know how it actually is spell) his dad being farmer and later gas station owner. Everything in his upbringing pointed out to him defending capital and being a massive prick and it so happened.
Also I like Nixon, rather have a mustache twirling bad guy, than a chamaleonic neoliberal like Clinton, a backstabber snake like Obama, or someone who just didn’t give a damn about the job like W but still did the Irak war under false pretenses and lives in impunity. Like if Nixon would’ve been comunist he would been the sixth head hands down.
6:41 ugh! I have a picture of when I was 4, pushing my little brother in his little baby buggy. I was serving so much c***! I was fierce AF! 🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭
17:10
Aw, twenty dollars? I wanted a peanut!
Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts.
Explain how!
Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
Props to my distant cousin and last Liberal president, Richard Nixon. The real racial slurs were the friends we made along the way
Maybe not Stanford, but a guy could pay tuition at Cal Berkeley with a side job at McDonald's back in Carter's day. Subsidizing some diversity in the Automobile Manufacturing Industry was not so obviously unhelpful at that moment in history. Whip Inflation Now!
17:29 no one tell poor Hakim what they used to call Brazil nuts in the American south (and probably other places) back in the day 💀💀💀💀💀
I googled and I regret my curiosity 😔
Yo guys when are y'all addressing the sino Soviet split in an indepth episode? Did y'all already do that ?
The good die young.
10:41
1:00:30
1:01:22
most yugopnik start to an episode
1:02:12 Kunduz
Do William Henry Harrison next
Please do FDR NEXT
But to answer your question comrade, the president in 1886 was Grover Cleveland who was you know your typical fascist US president
Am I trippin or have yall missed two episodes
They're both up on the patreon. Which is quite frustrating. 125 was on organizing and the black panthers, 126 just hasn't been posted here yet.
Why the hell was episode 125 uploaded before 124?
Wdym its 124
'Emergency' upload, they just wanted to get the jump on the ceasefire update
i have a question for Hakim moslty. I' ve been doing lots of research about middle eastern popular anti imperialist resistance and most movments are moslty political islamic. How is comunism connected with islam? as an atheist i still cant find parallels to religious fundamentalists and comunist guerillas. I support all palestinian, iraqi, afghani resistance armies, but i cant support the fundamentalist ones. Only the political islamic ones, like hamas. But it is a genuine question for real
hot take- nixon was one of the most progressive of all american presidents
He kept Keynsianism running for his term. But that was about the only good he did, truly one of the worst presidents. They didn't mention Nixon sabotaging a US withdrawal from Vietnam so he could have a better chance at getting elected which is probably the worst crime he did (its up there but might not be the worst thing he did)
why?
@atesah he created OSHA, he created the EPA, he signed into law the marine mammal protection act, the endangered species protection act, and the clean air act, he proposed the safe drinking water act before his impeachment, he increased investment and research in energy conservation and production when OPEC controlled the oil supply, he made friends with communist china, eased tension with the soviet union, and he ended the vietnam war
I don't wanna be that guy but can we call cannabis: cannabis?
de first
We need us presidents crimes series!
