  OH 44-9/11/2001 : Imperial Commemorations & Collective Amnesia w/Rabab Abdulhadi & Sina Rahmani 14.09.2026 54dk

  ***Adnan Husain invited me to join him and Rabab Abdulhadi for livestream conversation on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 WTC attacks. This is first hour! We continued for another hour plus! To listen to the entire episode subscribe on Patreon or watch the episode on the EIAP YouTube channel***   Friday is the 25th Anniversary of 9/11/2001 and all that followed from the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon: the launching of the "Global War on Terrorism", the wars and occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the drone campaigns across Africa and Asia, the securitization and surveillance regimes threatening political rights, the globalizing of paradigms of Islamophobia. What do imperial/imperialist commemorations "forget" as if history began on 9/11/2001 or 10/7/2023? Some talk about the GWOT as history, but has it ended? The anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect upon the last twenty five years and the contrasts and continuities with contemporary conditions.

  IN SESSION #31: Everyone loves Khorramshahr w/ Sina Rahmani 14.07.2026 1sa 36dk

  **Sorry for the long absence from the podcast. I am getting more content in the can! Here is a live episode of Lara Sheehi's show, Psychic Militancy** I thought it was time to bring Sina from behind the scenes, to the limelight. Can you believe this is his first solo appearance on Psychic Militancy? This episode's graphic is Sina's brainchild, which should already tell you everything you need to know and have to look forward to for this episode. All things Iran, anti-imperialism, and empire's decay on full sight.  Sina Rahmani is a producer extraordinaire and the mastermind behind a growing Tankieverse of spinoffs, including the very popular Everybody (still) loves Nora, AKA, TGT the musical. When he's not suffering over bad lighting, a bad angle, or a horrible mic, he's planting peas and planning for world domination through greenhouse farming. He frequently threatens to shut down the Strait of Hormuz as a disciplinary tactic against his podcast talking heads.
