Inside the Machinery of Modern War : Greg Stoker UNFILTERED

Video Description

He’s lived it. Now he’s naming it. This week on The Tea with Myriam Francois, U.S. veteran and outspoken anti-imperialist Greg Stoker joins us to pull back the curtain on the deadly intersections of military strategy, state violence, and imperial branding—from Gaza’s decimation to Western propaganda operations and privatized warfare. Forget press releases. This is war without the gloss. 🛑 Gaza’s Ground Offensive – Is this a strategy shift, or state-led ethnic cleansing? 🛑 Private Mercenaries in the Middle East – Who’s paying, who’s fighting, and who’s accountable? 🛑 Project Esther – How redefining antisemitism is weaponized to crush critique. 🛑 The Abraham Accords – Peace deals, or PR for arms trades and surveillance empires? 🛑 Trump and Empire – Not the architect—just the most honest salesman. 🛑 The New Right’s “Pro-Palestinian” Turn – Is Candace Owens standing for justice—or hijacking the cause? This episode isn’t just about modern warfare—it’s about modernized colonialism, dressed in the language of freedom, peace, and security. 👀 Think you know what war looks like today?
