6: The Phoenix Program (Vietnam)
<p>This one is big, folks. I apologize for the delay, life has been giving me wonderful surprises, and I'm still smiling. </p> <p>In this episode of "Imperialism and the Fringe," I dive deep into one of the most controversial and haunting operations of what we did in Vietnam: The Phoenix Program. </p> <p>Conceived as a counterinsurgency initiative, this covert program aimed to dismantle the Viet Cong infrastructure (basically anyone) through a network of intelligence gathering, infiltration, and targeted eliminations. However, the methods employed and the brutal outcomes reveal a darker side of warfare. The reality is, that the United States backed a small pro-American oligarchy against a highly organized majority that had been in place for decades, with the hopes of eradicating an entire ideology from a foreign nation. This was an economic conflict that left a terrible path of destruction in its wake. </p> <p>Join me as I unravel the details of how the United States executed this program, often blurring the lines between combat and atrocity. From indiscriminate arrests and torture to the extrajudicial killings of suspected Viet Cong operatives, I shed light on the moral and ethical dilemma that engulfed the participants and victims alike. Through firsthand accounts and historical analysis, I explore the profound impact and lasting legacy of the Phoenix Program, offering a sobering reflection on the human cost of violence. </p> <p>Tune in to learn more about the Vietnam conflict, and the truths behind this infamous operation that would set the precedent for many destabilization programs moving forward around the world, and on our back doorstep. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow the show/subscribe for bonus content on Patreon: https://patreon.com/Imperialismandthefringe?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink</p> <p><br></p> <p>Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU8fIl8XqLGgG3vXEFjNhJw</p> <p><br></p> <p>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@imperialismandthefringe?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc</p> <p><br></p> <p>Personal:</p> <p>https://www.tiktok.com/@tytyx25?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc</p> <p><br></p> <p>Be sure to like, subscribe, & share with a friend if you enjoyed this episode.

5: Isn't Everything Amazing?
<p>The first unplanned episode of the show, spicing things up while I work on the much larger next episode. Life has thrown a few curveballs, and it's all amazing. I'm trying to learn acceptance. Good or bad, life is intense. I hope the pain is for something fulfilling in the end. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Film mentioned and credit: </p> <p><br></p> <p>"It's Such a Beautiful Day," Don Hertzfeldt, 2012, Bitter Films</p>

4: The Eagle Hunters of Mongolia
<p>Falconry, and all facets of hunting with birds of prey, has been a tradition dating back thousands of years. Join me tonight in discussing the origins and uses of falconry around the world. I talk about how it is done, what birds are utilized, and what the future looks like for today's Mongolian Eagle Hunters. With global warming on the rise, and most men opting for other lifestyles, an unexpected group has started to embrace the falconry community there: young women. They are defying cultural norms, and inspiring a new generation to continue this ancient art. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>If you enjoy today's episode, please be sure to rate it 5 stars on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
