Bogan Intelligentsia Ep. 29: Wendy Bacon on Foreign Interference and Public Interest Journalism @boganintel

Bogan Intelligentsia Description:
In Episode 29 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we sit down with Veteran Journalist Wendy Bacon, Australia’s legendary investigative journalist and activist, to unpack the chilling censorship of pro-Palestinian voices and the shadowy forces shaping the 2025 election. Wendy exposes how accusations of antisemitism are weaponized to silence critics, from the Combat Antisemitism Movement’s (CAM) attacks on Gaza protesters to St Vincent’s Hospital’s suspension of cardiologist Peter Macdonald for questioning Israeli influence. She connects these to broader “dark money” campaigns targeting Greens and Teals, revealing lobby groups’ ties to pro-Israel and fossil fuel agendas. Wendy also reflects on the cancellation of a Royal Children’s Hospital panel on children in war, probing the institutional fear stifling Gaza discussions. With decades exposing corruption and championing justice—from koala habitat battles to ignored Palestinian pleas in Albanese’s electorate—Wendy shares her vision for public interest journalism and advice for young reporters breaking free of legacy media.

Bogan Intelligentsia Ep. 33: John Minto on 50 Years of Activism against Apartheid and Occupation

Bogan Intelligentsia 2025-10-20 | Description:
In Episode 33 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we dive deep with John Minto, NZ's unbreakable activist legend—from leading the 1981 Springbok Tour chaos to co-chairing the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa (PSNA). Over 60 minutes, John recounts his wild ride: plane-buzzing Eden Park with anti-apartheid leaflets, union shutdowns that halted the nation, and arrests from Vietnam protests to recent Gaza rallies. He draws raw parallels between apartheid's brutal isolation and Israel's Gaza siege—how societies once divided over rugby now fracture over genocide polls and campus tents. John slams the "kinetic energy" missing in today's hashtag activism, NZ's shameful non-recognition of Palestine despite public fury, and the Luxon government's timid Gaza stance amid Destiny Church's pro-Israel fire. Plus, a stark warning on the collective West's crumbling facade. This is unfiltered solidarity—share it, rage with it, and join the fight! What

You’ll Learn:
*John Minto’s arc: From 1970s student firebrand to PSNA leader, defying arrests and pepper spray.
*Apartheid vs. Gaza: How boycotts toppled SA but Gaza's tipping point lags—polarization then and now.
*Lost kinetic punch: Epic 1981 stunts like leaflet drops and strikes vs. modern digital drift.
*Activism's shift: Global reach wins, but surveillance and silos erode real disruption.
*NZ's Palestine fail: Non-recognition blocks aid, ignores polls—gov vs. society's Gaza heartbreak.
*Pro-Israel pushback: Destiny Church rallies echo apartheid hardliners; PSNA's counter-fire.
*West's future: Cracks in unity signal hope—or deeper division—for Palestinian justice.

Bogan Intelligentsia Ep. 23: Robert Barwick on Dan Duggan’s Extradition Nightmare

Bogan Intelligentsia 2025-10-13 | *** Donate: freedanduggan.org

Description:
In Episode 23 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we sit down with Rob Barwick to unravel the chilling case of Dan Duggan, an Australian citizen, former US pilot, and father of six, facing extradition to the US over baseless 2012 allegations. Arrested in 2022 while grocery shopping, Dan’s been in maximum-security prison for nearly 1,000 days—no bail, assets frozen, family in ruin—all for legal work at a South African test pilot school. The US claims he provided “defense services” to Chinese pilots in a decommissioned 1960s jet, despite no Australian or South African law being broken. Robbie exposes the legal farce: no US jurisdiction, no dual criminality, and a shocking retrospective 2018 law weaponized against Dan. Australia’s complicity—funding US prosecution while ASIO “transcends propriety”—reveals a sovereignty crisis. From Assange to Duggan, who’s next?

What You’ll Learn:
*Dan Duggan’s story: From US Marine to Aussie family man, arrested without warning.
*False US claims: No military training, no license needed, yet 65 years in prison looms.
*Legal flaws: No jurisdiction, no dual criminality, retrospective law abuse.
*Australia’s role: AGD funds US case, denies Dan aid, ASIO overreach hidden.
*Sovereignty loss: US leash on Australia, ignoring treaty reciprocity.
*Family toll: Wife and six kids face financial and emotional ruin.
*Dangerous precedent: If Dan can be extradited, any Australian could be next.

Bogan Intelligentsia Ep. 31: Dr. Scott Burchill on Trumps Gaza Peace Talks in Egypt

Bogan Intelligentsia 2025-10-08 | Read articles: Boganintel.com

Help the program: Patreon.com/boganintel

Description:
In Episode 31 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Scott Burchill, Deakin University’s sharp IR expert and author of Misunderstanding International Relations, to dissect Trump’s 20-point Gaza “peace” plan amid indirect Sharm el-Sheikh talks—hostage swaps, ceasefires, and withdrawals marred by Israeli airstrikes defying Trump’s no-bombing order. Burchill calls it a land grab trap: demilitarization, technocratic governance under Trump-Blair oversight, and vague withdrawals enabling Israeli control, not surrender but “we’ll crush you” coercion. Hamas’s Qatar-mediated strategy? Partial acceptance for survival, buying time amid mistrust, with international pressure via Samud Flotilla interceptions and union strikes in Italy, Greece, Spain fueling global sway on Trump-Netanyahu rifts. Burchill ties it to his essay on narrative shaping: Ellison family’s CBS/Paramount/TikTok grab as Zionist state intervention, using AI/influencers to launder pro-Israel spin when organic opinion falters.

What You’ll Learn:
*Sharm el-Sheikh talks: Trump’s plan, Trump’s tweet/Hamas letter.
*Hostage-prisoner swap, ceasefire hurdles amid bombings.
*Land grab aspects: Demilitarization as Gaza trap for control.
*US-Israel coercion: Surrender or crush via “peace.”
*Hamas strategy: Qatar acceptance for leverage, international pressure potential.
*Tony Blair’s “warlord” fiefdom in governance talks.
*Samud Flotilla, Italian/Greek/Spanish union demos’ impact on Trump-Netanyahu.
*Divergences: Trump’s push vs. Netanyahu’s far-right resistance.
*Ellison acquisitions: Zionist media control via CBS/Paramount/TikTok, AI/influencer steering.

Bogan Intelligentsia Ep. 30: Major Cameron Leckie on Hegseths General Shake-Up & Bases in Australia

Bogan Intelligentsia 2025-10-05 | Description:
In Episode 30 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we sit down with Retired Major Cameron Leckie, a 24-year veteran of the Australian Army and sharp military analyst, to dissect the fallout from US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's Quantico meeting with generals and admirals—railing against "woke" standards and demanding a warrior ethos amid Trump's "Department of War" pivot. Leckie probes the meeting's aim to overhaul fitness, grooming, and rules of engagement, questioning its reception by US brass told to "shape up or ship out" and any real benefits for the military—especially contrasting China's professional WW2 parade show of power. Shifting to Australia, he unpacks the new US-linked Apache helicopter base in Queensland's Townsville (part of a $4.5B deal with rotations and infrastructure upgrades), alongside WA bases like Curtin, and their erosion of national sovereignty—making Australia a target and complicating removal amid US hardwired assets.

In a multipolar crusade, Leckie critiques US ambitions to curb rising powers via India-China trade wars, hasty Middle East deals, and Afghanistan threats—shifting from global police to opportunistic disruptor, straining Australia's middle-power survival in the international system. Who in Australia champions multipolarity? This 60-minute episode is a wake-up call for sovereignty and strategic autonomy. Fans, your shares amplify these truths—watch, engage, and rethink alliances!

What You’ll Learn:
*Hegseth's Quantico directives on fitness and "woke" overhauls, and US brass reactions.
*China's WW2 parade as a professional power display vs. US internal turmoil.
*Details of Queensland's Apache base and sovereignty impacts from US assets in WA/QLD.
*US foreign policy's anti-multipolarity drive in India-China, Middle East, Afghanistan.
*US shift to opportunistic power and strains on Australia's middle-power role.

Bogan Intelligentsia Ep. 28: Palestinian Activist Ahmed Alabadla on Gaza and Palestinian Recognition

Bogan Intelligentsia 2025-09-23 | Description:
In Episode 28 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we sit down with Ahmed Alabadla, a fierce Palestinian activist and voice for Gaza, to confront the raw realities of occupation, genocide, and resistance. Ahmed recounts life growing up under siege in Gaza—its vibrant streets on October 6th before the bombs fell—and the devastating erasure of Gaza City's historic heart, questioning the territory's very future. He exposes the hidden costs ripping through Israeli society: economic collapse, workforce shortages, protests, and internal fears that the genocide threatens the state's survival. We probe Israel's biblical undercurrents—Greater Israel visions, red cows, messianic fervor, and the Amalek label fueling enmity toward Palestinians—and how Netanyahu's skin-saving schemes entwine with religious pathology.

Ahmed also slams U.S. complicity under Biden and Trump's even darker turn, and redevelopment plots amid 250+ Congress members eyeing Jerusalem.

Finally, is BDS the ultimate tool for Palestinian return, and does Australia's fresh recognition of Palestine mark a watershed or mere symbolism?

What You’ll Learn:
*The daily grind of Gaza life under occupation and its vibrant pulse before October 7th's horrors.
*The cultural catastrophe of Gaza City's destruction and its implications for Palestinian fate.
*Israel's internal fractures: economic implosion, social unrest, and fears of state viability from the genocide's toll.
*The dynamics of Palestinian resistance—coordinated across Gaza, West Bank, and allies like Hezbollah—vs. the IDF's police-force model unprepared for regional wars.
*Biblical zeal in Israeli strategy: From Amalek rhetoric to messianic drives, and its role in dehumanizing Palestinians.
*U.S. policy's deadly evolution under Trump
*BDS as a blueprint for Palestinian restoration, and Australia's Palestine recognition as a global turning point.

Bogan Intelligentsia 2025-09-01 | Description:
In Episode 24 of the Bogan Intelligentsia Podcast, we dive deep with Eddy Jokovich, publisher of New Politics and a sharp critic of global power dynamics. Eddy unpacks the murky waters of foreign influence on Australia’s decision-making, from ASIO’s questionable Iran claims to the Albanese government’s alignment with Israel amid global backlash. We explore signs of escalating conflict with Iran, the disconnect between taxation and representation, and what a truly sovereign Australian diplomacy could look like. Eddy also reflects on his article, “The Genocide is Being Televised: What Will It Take to Stop It?”, addressing the Gaza crisis and the forces cowering Australia into supporting Tel Aviv during a genocide.

What You’ll Learn:
*The truth behind ASIO’s Iran antisemitism claims and foreign influence on Australia.
*Signs of war with Iran, including U.S. rhetoric and the 12-day Israel-Iran crisis.
*How Australia’s government prioritizes foreign interests over its people.
