Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - CLASSIC: False Flag Attacks
Imagine if a government disguised its operatives as members of some other organization -- and then attacked itself. While this might sound crazy, several historians have argued that false flag attacks are more than just conspiracy theories.

Pudgy Penguins, Bored Apes and CryptoKitties — a Noah’s Ark of nonfungible tokens — are the latest trend for people trying to get rich and engage with art in a new way. NFTs might be a fad, but there’s a multibillion-dollar market for them.
Today, L.A. Times business reporter Sam Dean gives us a crash course in what exactly NFTs are and how to think about whether they’re worth your money. And NFT collectors Cooper Turley and Tim Kang tell us why they think the digital tokens could change our lives even if we don’t buy them.
Also: An update about last week’s episode “Our nation’s Haitian double standard.”

Time To Say Goodbye - Abolish ICE! And keep going. With Silky Shah of Detention Watch Network.
Hello from Stuart’s Coffee in Bellingham!
This week, we welcome a special guest to talk about the immigrant rights movement and immigration policy. Plus, Andy and Tammy channel Jay Energy and answer listener questions.
(0:00): Andy and Tammy discuss Japanese food and our favorite chaebols.
(6:50): Listener Questions! What’s up with the “PI” in “AAPI?” listener SansMouton asks. We discuss the awkward origins of AAPI and why Pacific Islanders and Native Hawaiians shouldn’t be lumped into Asian America (cf. this random feature on Asian feelings in the NYT this weekend). But is there anything redeeming about a “Pacific” frame? And what would be the Pacific version of Paul Gilroy’s Black Atlantic?
* Thanks to friend of the pod Amita Manghnani for talking through the local politics of “A/P/A” and recommending “Asian American Studies and the ‘Pacific Question,’” by Wesleyan anthropologist Kehaulani Kauanui.
(25:00): How should academics balance institutional responsibilities (and annoying prestige stuff) with teaching? listener Robi asks. Andy tries to punt the question to Tammy before laying out his own materialist approach.
(31:44): Silky Shah, friend of the pod and executive director of Detention Watch Network, explains all things immigration:
* Her Truthout article on the dramatic increase in immigrant detention under Biden
* How her corner of the immigrant rights movement become abolitionist
* Why borders are b******t
* The We Are Home coalition
* Links between immigration and foreign policy
* The Dems’ obsession with “deterrence”
* Why “Abolish ICE” isn’t nearly enough
* Recommended reads by Harsha Walia and Todd Miller.
For more on immigration policy, tune into this book event on Tuesday, Sept. 28, at noon EST, moderated by Tammy:

The Intelligence from The Economist - A run for its money: funding crunches in Congress
America’s crash of deadlines carries risks for the government’s budget and just possibly its sovereign debt, and threatens Joe Biden’s presidency-defining social-spending reforms. We ask what happens next. South Korea’s government is ostensibly cracking down on fake news; in practice it may be hobbling real journalism. And the hopeful view provided by a French conceptual artist’s latest work.
