Bogan Intelligentsia

Description:In Episode 31 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, Dr. Scott Burchill—IR scholar and Misunderstanding International Relations author—unpacks Trump’s 20-point Gaza ploy via Sharm el-Sheikh indirect talks: hostage/prisoner swaps, fragile ceasefires, withdrawals undercut by Israeli airstrikes ignoring Trump’s halt order. Deep mistrust dooms it: a land grab veiled as peace, with demilitarization/Trump-Blair oversight trapping Gazans in endless control, not surrender but US-Israel “crush” threat. Hamas’s Qatar play? Tactical acceptance for breathing room, despite flaws, as Samud Flotilla blocks and union strikes in Italy/Greece/Spain ramp global leverage on Trump-Netanyahu splits. Burchill links to his essay: Ellison clan’s CBS/Paramount/TikTok buys as Zionist “state” fix—AI/influencers laundering pro-Israel spin when publics rebel.

Description:In Episode 29 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we’re joined by Wendy Bacon, Australia’s trailblazing investigative journalist and activist, who exposes the chilling suppression of pro-Palestinian voices and the murky forces rigging the 2025 election. From the Combat Antisemitism Movement’s (CAM) smear campaign against Gaza protesters to St Vincent’s Hospital’s suspension of cardiologist Peter Macdonald for daring to question Israeli influence, Wendy uncovers how “antisemitism” accusations silence dissent. She probes the cancellation of a Royal Children’s Hospital panel on children in war, revealing institutional fear over Gaza discussions. With relentless reporting on “dark money” targeting Greens and Teals, Wendy ties pro-Israel and fossil fuel lobbies to election interference. Reflecting on her decades battling corruption—from environmental activism to ignored Palestinian pleas in Albanese’s electorate—she defines public interest journalism and offers hard-won advice for young reporters.

Description:In Episode 28 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we’re joined by Ahmed Alabadla, a Palestinian activist bearing witness to Gaza's unbreakable spirit amid occupation and genocide. Ahmed vividly recalls Gaza's pre-October 7th vibrancy and the societal machinery under siege, then mourns Gaza City's historic obliteration and its dire portents for Palestinian survival. He reveals the genocide's boomerang on Israel—workforce collapse, investment flight, protests, and elite whispers of state peril. Delving into Palestinian resistance's grassroots coordination in Gaza, the West Bank, and with Hezbollah, Ahmed contrasts it against the IDF's police-apartheid setup, woefully unready for clashes with Egypt, Turkey, Saudi-Pak alliances, or Iran-fueled wars hinging on U.S. crutches. We unpack Israel's biblical fever—Greater Israel dreams, red heifers, the messiah, and Amalek—and whether it's divine delusion or Netanyahu's desperate dodge. Ahmed indicts Biden's enabling and Trump's venomous escalation: Rubio-Huckabee-Witkoff zeal, fake peace traps, redevelopment delusions, and a Congress (250+ Jerusalem-bound) locking in absolutism. Is BDS the silver bullet for homeland restoration, and Australia's Palestine nod a watershed or window dressing? This 60-minute episode is a searing summons to solidarity and strategy.

Description:In Episode 27 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we’re joined by Warwick Powell (@baoshaoshan), QUT adjunct professor, blockchain expert, and author of China, Trust and Digital Supply Chains. Warwick breaks down the geopolitical alignments at China’s Victory Day parade—highlighting Western isolation of Russia versus non-Western solidarity—and the reclamation of WWII narratives on China and Russia’s sacrifices, signaling a profound multipolar world order shift. He unpacks the US-China trade talks in Spain, where TikTok’s divestment and semiconductor battles took center stage, alongside China’s stunning military unveilings like JL-3 ICBMs and AI drones. Warwick also explores the “CRINK” coalition, the SCO’s 20 GW green energy push, and Australia’s strained US alliance amid Canberra’s ideological clash.

Theo unpacks the shocking incident—perpetrated by David Wise, who demanded he remove a Palestinian flag—and the systemic failures that followed, from police inaction to media downplaying. He delves into the influence of Zionist groups on Australian institutions, the erosion of sovereignty, and how charities funnel money to Israel. As a welder working in the steel industry, Theo also critiques the militarization of industries like Bisalloy Steel, which he believes makes Australian workers complicit in war crimes.
