The Empire Report with Guy Christensen

They told us it was about “hostages” and “security”. But when they say the quiet part out loud, they admit the truth: it’s about the money. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich openly said that Israel plans to profit from the occupation of Gaza and turn the genocide of a native peoples into a business model. There is no “war” in Gaza, there’s only endless demolition for the sole purpose of re...

If you’ve been following my work, you already know why I care about Palestine. But it’s not enough to just talk about solidarity, I want to live it. I’ve started learning Arabic using the Kalam App, a language platform built by native speakers, not techocratic billionaires. If you’re serious about decolonizing your mind, start with your tongue! Check out the Kalam App — not sponsored, just real. A...

Zionist influence in the United States is a documented reality. In combination of AIPAC dark money in elections and the ADL censoring any sort of dissent with billions of military aid, our foreign policy has been completely outsourced to the Zionist entity. Both liberals and conservatives have allowed this to happen. Both sides are captured by nonsense culture wars while the working class gets suc...

Google & Amazin have been exposed in leaked documents in agreeing to secretly tip-off the Zionist regime if they were being investigated by authorities & were legally barred from speaking. On top of this, they promised unfettered and irrevokable access to the IDF- even if it violate human rights. Project Nimbus is a multi-billion military cloud project that the two corporations secured through ben...

AIPAC isn’t just “influential.” It’s the single most powerful foreign lobby in Washington, and it exists solely to ensure unconditional U.S. support for Israeli apartheid . AIPAC buys silence, manufactures consensus, and punishes resistance from Republicans and Democrats alike. The good news is now the mask is off. Ever since October 7th, it has become readily apparent how bought off all of our po...

If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t criticize Israel without getting labeled a bigot, meet Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL has transformed from a civil rights organization into a pro-Zionist surveillance machine, partnering with tech companies, government agencies, and billionaire donors to silence any sort meaningful critique of Zionism. Greenblatt only calls ant...

The ADL wants us to believe that it’s “antisemitic” to compare what Israel is doing to Nazi Germany. We’ve been conditioned to tapdance around it. Israel isn’t “defending itself.” It’s carrying out a slow, systematic extermination of a people that draws intense parallels to Nazi Germany. This is the material reality now. Bombing hospitals, blocking food, torturing prisoners, using starvation as a...

The keffiyeh is a symbol of resistance. For Palestinians, it represents struggle, survival, and refusal. It’s what farmers wore in the fields under occupation. It’s what freedom fighters wore in the streets of Ramallah and Gaza. Now it’s worn around the world by people who refuse to look away from genocide. This scarf is not a fashion statement, it’s a political one. The act of wearing it is a sub...

The second you step outside the Democratic Party you’re immediately branded as a MAGA supporter. The reality is that third parties and grassroots movements threaten the liberal illusion that America can be reformed through brunch and ballots. Liberals punch left harder than they punch right and gatekeep resistance through shame. Their loyalty to the DNC runs deeper than any actual political princi...

Behind every airstrike, every surveillance drone, and every AI-powered kill list, there’s a tech company cashing a fat check. Palantir, Google, Oracle, Amazon, Microsoft as well as the entire backbone of Silicon Valley are the silent contractors of empire. These corporations are selling cloud infrastructure, predictive policing software, and battlefield AI directly to the Israeli military. You won...

Let’s be honest, conservatives don’t want free speech they want impunity from their own rhetoric. The right-wing grift around “free speech” is where platforming fascism is framed as liberty, but criticism of Zionism, socialism, or American empire gets labeled as “hate” or “terrorist sympathizing.” These are the same people who want to ban books and criminalize protests but get weepy when their Twi...

People ask me all the time if I ever regret how loud I’ve been. My advocacy for Palestine has only cost me multiple platforms and even a college tuition. Do I regret any of it? No. Because silence would’ve been the real betrayal. If the price of advocating for Palestine is getting banned or blacklisted, I’ll pay it twice. I’d rather be remembered for standing with the oppressed than celebrated for...

If you conflate opposition to ethnic cleansing with hatred of Jews, that’s on you The Christian Zionist talking point that every pro-Palestine chant is a secret antisemite is pure b******t. The loudest defenders of Israel in the U.S. aren’t even Jewish. They’re Evangelicals who think Israel has to exist so Jesus can come back and kill everyone who doesn’t convert, including Jews. It’s basically ap...

Israel wouldn’t last a week without U.S. support, and AIPAC is the reason that support never stops flowing. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is the most powerful foreign policy force in Washington, funneling millions into both parties to make sure every bomb dropped on Gaza has a bipartisan sign off. They don’t need to win arguments, they just buy the players and win the game every tim...

In the West, media doesn’t report on empire, it serves it. When you compare headlines, the linguistic gymnastics of Western outlets pales in comparison to the honesty of Israeli media where genocide is policy. The people funding the bombs get the most sanitized news while Israeli media gets to admit it. It’s not complicated. The truth is out there, just not where you’d expect to find it As always,...

In September, Mr. Political Revolution stepped in behind closed doors to tell a younger, more outspoken elected official to cool it on Palestine, because even the most progressive members of the establishment know where the red line is…a red line is drawn in blood across Gaza and the West Bank. Even the supposed “left” in America is complicit in protecting the empire’s most sacred aparthied client...

“Greater Israel” is NOT a conspiracy theory, it’s an actual policy of the Israeli government. What was once whispered in think tanks is now acted out in real time with Gaza completely leveled and the West Bank slowly being annexed piece by piece. Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt are all in their crosshairs. Billions in US military aid to Israel and Western press too compromise...

Donald Trump just endorsed Andrew Cuomo for NYC Mayor and this should be a wake up call to anyone still bought into the illusion of the two-party duopoly. Trump, Eric Adams, and Andrew Cuomo are all part of the same bipartisan death machine that runs this country. They may wear different colored ties, but they all worship Israel, surviellance, and state violence. This is the solidification of an u...

Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, Israel’s former military advocate general, has been arrested after confessing to leaking the Sde Teiman torture footage, the same footage that showed Israeli soldiers raping and sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee inside a torture camp. This man was brutalized leaving him with a torn rectum, broken ribs, and massive internal injuries. Tomer-Yerushalmi and h...

The internet was supposed to be the last free space. Instead, it’s become a corporate surveillance grid run by a handful of billionaires with political agendas and profit margins. Political content always gets throttled and dissident voices get shadowbanned. The system working exactly as intended. “Content moderation” has become the polite term for digital censorship. The internet isn’t free, it’s...

They’ve convinced us we’re on opposing teams but we’re all losing the same war. Blue MAGA and Red MAGA are mirror images of each other, both worshiping American exceptionalism in different ways. One wraps empire in diversity discourse. The other does it with open authoritarianism. At the end of the day, both are selling you the same imperial death machine branded as a different color. We’re too bl...

Donald Trump has stated that the U.S. will resume regular testing of nuclear weapons because apparently 800 military bases around the world and a $1 trillion-dollar war budget isn’t enough. Trump justified the move as a show of strength to rivals like China and Russia in a Cold War style bloodlust. This has nothing to do about deterrence. This is about a dying empire clinging to relevance through...

For Israel, there is no such thing as a “ceasefire” The Trump administration and the mainstream media want you to believe the illusion of “peace” in Gaza, while Israel continues to bombard Palestinians with airstrikes and upholding their mass starvation campaign. This is just business as usual for a settler-colonial regime built on permanent warfare As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have...

This is a very big deal. In this interview, I’m speaking with Matthew Eadie, the journalist who broke a story this week about how he discovered a hidden website AIPAC has been using to funnel donations to pro-Israel candidates without earmarking it as an AIPAC contribution. They appear to be replicating a scheme of secret donations across many ongoing Congressional races. How exactly is AIPAC hidi...

Israel returned 135 mutilated Palestinian bodies from the notorious torture camp Sde Teiman located in the Negev Desert under the conditions of the shaky ceasefire currently in place. - Point-blank executions- Ropes tied around necks- Shackles and missing limbs These are the conditions they arrived in.
