Speaker 1: Cool Zone Media. Hello and welcome to the Cool Zone Media
Speaker 1: book Club, your only book club that's about Dinosaur Wars
Speaker 1: in twenty fifty five. I'm your host, Margaret Kiljoy, And
Speaker 1: for the last little bit we've been running episodes from
Speaker 1: cool Zone Media's future. In December, we called it cool
Speaker 1: Zone Media twenty fifty four Reports from the Dino War.
Speaker 1: But since it's thirty years in the future, it's now
Speaker 1: twenty fifty five. War doesn't rhyme with five. That's why
Speaker 1: we're bringing you Cool Zone twenty fifty five How to
Speaker 1: Survive the Dinoh Wars. Anyway, here's a missive from the future. Hello,
Speaker 1: and welcome to Cool Zone twenty fifty five. How to
Speaker 1: Survive the Dinoh Wars. It's another beautiful year in the
Speaker 1: climate apocalypse civil War. I figure for a while at least,
Speaker 1: we'll focus on tips and tricks for how to get
Speaker 1: through the year and how to get through the war.
Speaker 1: Talk to frontline fighters and backline fighters and people just
Speaker 1: trying to get through all of this. Today, though, we're
Speaker 1: just gonna run through some headline news to give us
Speaker 1: a sense of where we're at here. At the start
Speaker 1: of twenty fifty five, it has been a busy couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, and then we've got a special report on
Speaker 1: Singapore and on supply chain logistics from our own Meal Wong.
Speaker 1: So if you're sick of here and me, you should
Speaker 1: stick around or fast forward. You can probably fast forward,
Speaker 1: but you should stick around because I'm going to read
Speaker 1: you the news.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: The Sierra Nevada's got their first snow of the twenty
Speaker 1: fifties over the weekend, which gave the soldiers stationed at
Speaker 1: Lake Tahoe some much needed diversion. You haven't seen videos
Speaker 1: of baby dinosaurs sledding, you're missing out. The center left,
Speaker 1: revolutionarily aligned New People's Liberation Force of Louisiana announced today
Speaker 1: that they've taken control of Baton Rouge, driving out the
Speaker 1: independent warlord Don Raptor, who had gone from the showy
Speaker 1: proprietor of the Dino Zoo Don's Wild Pets to becoming
Speaker 1: dictator one of the most climate ravaged parts of North America.
Speaker 1: Don's fate is unknown at this time. This new expansion
Speaker 1: of territory marks the first time that the NPLFL has
Speaker 1: extended their control past the city of New Orleans, and
Speaker 1: of course is likely to cause backlash from the Christian
Speaker 1: nationalist group the Louisiana People's Force for Democracy and Freedom.
Speaker 1: But it's still a cause for celebration. It's always a
Speaker 1: cause for celebration when people succeed at doing good stuff,
Speaker 1: even if there's always an inevitable backlash. The Deputy Prime
Speaker 1: Minister of Canada, John Harold Chris James, announced today at
Speaker 1: a press conference that Canada is now revoking the residency
Speaker 1: permits of all citizens of the former United States who
Speaker 1: were granted residency in exchange for building the wall along
Speaker 1: its southern border. Now that the wall is ninety percent completed,
Speaker 1: basically they're done with us. Chris James said that the
Speaker 1: residency program, officially called the turn your backs on your
Speaker 1: shitty country to join our Grade one program, was a
Speaker 1: remnant of quote World War III and a moment of
Speaker 1: sheer desperation by our great country, and that all Americans
Speaker 1: should get the fuck out and fix their own country.
Speaker 1: It was, of course a statement from the deputing Prime
Speaker 1: Minister of Canada, because the Prime Minister of Canada, the
Speaker 1: right wing former twitch streaming star Maximus Rome Smith, has
Speaker 1: not made a public appearance in two years, and that
Speaker 1: analysis of all publicly available material from him appears likely
Speaker 1: to be deep fakes scripted by Chris James working with
Speaker 1: old fashioned chat GPT style AAI, so no one knows
Speaker 1: where Maximus is. Normally I'd say good riddance, but Chris
Speaker 1: James not any better. The Democratic con Federalist Congress of
Speaker 1: Africa celebrated their fifteenth anniversary today across the large chunks
Speaker 1: of the continent. Fifteen years ago they were a dream
Speaker 1: put together by a combination of Pan Africanists and internationalists.
Speaker 1: Now they control about eighty percent of the continent in
Speaker 1: the spirit of ethnic pluralism, cooperative economics and decision making
Speaker 1: structures and justice systems that serve as a model to
Speaker 1: the world. Despite living in one of the most climate
Speaker 1: change ravaged continents on the planet, fighting continues against the
Speaker 1: white nationalist forces that control South Africa and against Islamic
Speaker 1: forces along the northeast coast of the continent. This Apetees
Speaker 1: to Army for National Liberation celebrated sixty one years since
Speaker 1: they walked onto the world stage with an armed uprising.
Speaker 1: They did this celebration by holding it in Quantro, a
Speaker 1: meeting of internationalists who have supported them all these years.
Speaker 1: The Easy ln followed by the Rushavian Revolution, are seen
Speaker 1: by many as the two most important precursors to the
Speaker 1: modern internationalist movement, and representatives for more than six thousand
Speaker 1: revolutionary projects attended. This year's in Quantro celebrations were marred
Speaker 1: by a terrorist attack from right wing forces that killed
Speaker 1: seven and wounded thirty four. And while we're at it
Speaker 1: with death tolls, last week there were an estimated twenty
Speaker 1: three thousand internationalist soldiers killed around the world. Reanimation camps
Speaker 1: run by nationalist forces in Russia and the United States
Speaker 1: killed an estimated forty thousand pe, most of whom were
Speaker 1: ethnic minorities and or the disabled. It is likely that
Speaker 1: another six thousand people were killed by heat in the
Speaker 1: Southern hemisphere. As another Hellmouth summer has begun and two
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people starve to death worldwide, we remember and
Speaker 1: celebrate the lives of everyone who has died in this struggle.
Speaker 1: We will fight until no one starves to death, until
Speaker 1: no one is locked by national borders into a territory
Speaker 1: struggling with the climate crisis, until no one is killed
Speaker 1: and then reanimated as zombies by the Nazis who seek
Speaker 1: to rule the world. Neo pop punk upstarts The Goblin
Speaker 1: Girls announced they're going on tour with their hit second album,
Speaker 1: Drown in Your Own Blood Nazi Scum. They promise they'll
Speaker 1: play some other old songs for the true fans, like
Speaker 1: they might play the ballad I'm going to jerk off
Speaker 1: to the video of my Brontosaurus stepping on your face,
Speaker 1: you Nazi Scum, or the more fast paced I Collect
Speaker 1: your teeth, You Nazi Scum. The six piece band says
Speaker 1: that they're dedicating the tour to the memory of the
Speaker 1: rap Duog Club, who had announced the beginning of last
Speaker 1: year that they Hag Club would tour all of twenty
Speaker 1: fifty four in contested territory or until they were killed
Speaker 1: for it, which tragically is what happened. The Goblin Girls
Speaker 1: said in their press release quote, Well, we come out
Speaker 1: of an unaffiliated anarchist militia fighting in Tennessee, so it's
Speaker 1: not like we thought we were going to survive twenty
Speaker 1: fifty five. Anyway, we hear at Cool Zone Media wish
Speaker 1: them the best of luck, but it wouldn't be a
Speaker 1: Cool Zone Media podcast of the twenty fifties if we
Speaker 1: didn't shout out our most generous sponsor, Dino Cadence. You
Speaker 1: might be thinking to yourself, didn't Dino Cadence start off
Speaker 1: as an avant garde burlesque troup run by a bunch
Speaker 1: of sex workers who were involved in the militant dinoh
Speaker 1: rescue programs in the late twenty forties, And if you
Speaker 1: did think that, you would be thinking right. Dino Cadence
Speaker 1: is proud of its history, proud of its present, and
Speaker 1: most importantly, proud of its contributions to the future of humanity.
Speaker 1: That's right, Dino Cadence the world's most popular dinosaur riter
Speaker 1: trainer program. Every day is Dino Day at Dino Cadence.
Speaker 1: Though they're most famous for training soldiers for battle, they're
Speaker 1: excited to launch the new backline training program. Do you
Speaker 1: dream of being a dino vet taking care of the
Speaker 1: wounded and sick Reptilian soldiers fighting for a free world,
Speaker 1: Or do you dream of becoming a dino trainer working
Speaker 1: with some of the smartest beasts to ever walk the earth?
Speaker 1: Or maybe you want to become a dino therapist because
Speaker 1: every soldier is impacted by the war, including the animals,
Speaker 1: and they all need our help. If so, Dino Cadence
Speaker 1: might be right for you. Tuition is free, but positions
Speaker 1: are limited, so apply today. This podcast is also brought
Speaker 1: to you by Leverage. Do you want to join the
Speaker 1: fight to expose right wing agents within liberated or contested territories?
Speaker 1: Then join Leverage, the open source intelligence club that finds
Speaker 1: and stops right wing terror plots before they start. For
Speaker 1: more information about Leverage, just say I would like to
Speaker 1: know more about Leverage within hearing distance of your phone,
Speaker 1: and they'll reach out to you. That's a joke, they're
Speaker 1: not listening to your phones. Probably apply on their website.
Speaker 1: This podcast is brought to you by Dead Again Deliverables,
Speaker 1: your one stop shop for everything the modern zombie hunter needs,
Speaker 1: whether you're hunting the dead one on one in Vegas
Speaker 1: or fighting them in mass and the war ravaged Sonoran Desert.
Speaker 1: Dead Again Deliverables as you covered ice picks, crossbows, morning stars,
Speaker 1: piano wire, body armor, alarms, booby traps, zombie detection apparatus.
Speaker 1: They've even got a few cases of the new experimental
Speaker 1: Dead Again poison in This stuff is harmless to the living,
Speaker 1: but deadly to the dead. With free delivery all over
Speaker 1: the world, you can count on dead Again, Dead Again
Speaker 1: deliverables because you only live once is enforceable by force.
Speaker 1: Studies on dead again and have not yet pulished their findings. Well,
Speaker 1: dead again poison has been proven efectivet killing the re
Speaker 1: animated debt it has not yet been proven.
Speaker 2: Are most of the living and we're back?
Speaker 1: Okay, more headlines for you. The Gray Wolves, the nationalist
Speaker 1: force that runs most of Turkey, launched a major offensive
Speaker 1: and occur to Stan this past week, making heavy use
Speaker 1: of their signature bioweapon zombie dire Wolves edsit Tron covered
Speaker 1: this on the show about two years ago in more depth,
Speaker 1: so you can go check that out if you want.
Speaker 1: I think it's the episode called Wolves Wolves Everywhere, but basically,
Speaker 1: Turkish scientists brought dire wolves back from extinction but found
Speaker 1: them too uncontrollable and generally not violent enough because you know,
Speaker 1: wolves only kill when they're hungry, so they began a
Speaker 1: process of killing and reanimating the wolves. Zombie dire wolves
Speaker 1: are slower and less capable in battle, but like all
Speaker 1: reanimated dead, it is very easy to direct them to kill.
Speaker 1: The offensive comes at an unfortunate time, as most of
Speaker 1: the people's defense units of the area are currently fighting
Speaker 1: elsewhere because the area was scene is pretty safe. The
Speaker 1: attack really came out of nowhere. Civilian militias have begun
Speaker 1: to repel the attack, but at great cost. This week
Speaker 1: we also mourned the loss of Warren van Beek. You
Speaker 1: probably haven't heard of Warren van Beek, and there's a
Speaker 1: reason for that. For twenty years, Warren worked deep undercover
Speaker 1: within the white nationalist movement in Johannesburg, feeding information to
Speaker 1: anti fascists. It's thanks to Warren's work we know about
Speaker 1: the failed Nationalist Unity Conference of twenty fifty. Garon Robert
Speaker 1: did a whole week on this topic back then when
Speaker 1: the findings came out, and it's worth going back and
Speaker 1: listening to. But brief well, the nationalists have a pretty
Speaker 1: major internal conflict, and internal conflict that serves us well.
Speaker 1: There are three major factions on the nationalist side. There's
Speaker 1: the Stalingrad Faction, the Dallas faction, and the Johannesburg faction.
Speaker 1: The stalin Grad faction believes that all the nationalist forces
Speaker 1: should be united under a single leader Russia. The Dallas
Speaker 1: faction they believe more or less the same thing, but
Speaker 1: think that the US should be in charge. The Johannesburg faction,
Speaker 1: joined by hundreds of regional forces from around the world,
Speaker 1: believes that the alliance between nationalist forces should not be unified,
Speaker 1: but instead the global right wing should stay decentralized. It's
Speaker 1: good to know that they have the same problems we do.
Speaker 1: It was Warren von Beek who exposed this divide to
Speaker 1: the internationalist community, at great risk to himself and the
Speaker 1: internationalist community. Social engineers have been able to do an
Speaker 1: awful lot of deepening that divide. This is a war
Speaker 1: full of nameless behind the scene heroes, and now that
Speaker 1: he's dead, we can acknowledge that Warren von Beek was
Speaker 1: one of them. If it weren't for von Beek's work,
Speaker 1: we might all right now be living under nationalist stalinist governance.
Speaker 1: We don't yet have the full details about his death,
Speaker 1: but it seems as though he died clutching a grenade
Speaker 1: when fascist forces raided his house.
Speaker 2: I guess he'd been outed.
Speaker 1: Mostly he took four of those fuckers out with him.
Speaker 1: Rest in peace, Warren. Glad you blow yourself up so
Speaker 1: they can't reanimate your body. While we're on the subject
Speaker 1: of right wing in fighting this time. It's bad news
Speaker 1: about that. It's in fighting in Allian scene. The Arizonian
Speaker 1: anti Pope Benedict the seventeenth announced today that his Army
Speaker 1: of the Righteous Catholic Faith has signed a peace treaty
Speaker 1: with the white nationalist Protestant leader John the New Baptist,
Speaker 1: paving the way for new Catholic slash Protestant unity fighting
Speaker 1: for a white nationalist America. This ends, or at least pauses,
Speaker 1: three years of bloodshed between various shades of far right Christians.
Speaker 1: Benedict the seventeenth and his followers were of course, formally
Speaker 1: excommunicated from the Catholic Church ten years ago during the
Speaker 1: Disconcordant when Benedict the seventeenth told his followers that the
Speaker 1: Pope was the Antichrist for having supported citizen efforts to
Speaker 1: end World War Three. In much better news, scientists have
Speaker 1: announced that good Boy Benny is now the oldest dog
Speaker 1: to have ever lived, having reached thirty years of age.
Speaker 1: Benny was the second dog to have undergone age delayment treatments,
Speaker 1: and the first one to be so successful. But there
Speaker 1: are tens of thousands of beloved friends across the world
Speaker 1: who have now lived extraordinarily long lives thanks to the
Speaker 1: age delayment treatments. Fifteen years ago, scientists claimed by twenty
Speaker 1: fifty five, dogs and cats will live as long as humans.
Speaker 1: Of course, when they said that in twenty forty, they
Speaker 1: didn't realize that war and climate change were about to
Speaker 1: drop the world wide life expectancy by thirty years or so.
Speaker 1: So dogs and humans are racing to keep up. An
Speaker 1: anti fascist revolt in the heartland of white nationalism broke
Speaker 1: out over New Year's unnamed anti fascist group in Knoxville,
Speaker 1: Tennessee put out a press release calling their revolt the
Speaker 1: Night of Nat Turner, and then they went on a
Speaker 1: targeted killing spree of local nationalist bureaucrats as well as
Speaker 1: several prominent racist figureheads. They killed a total of nine targets.
Speaker 1: Sixteen of the rebels were killed in the attack. Well
Speaker 1: another six have made it to Free West Virginia. And
Speaker 1: that's about where we're at here at the start of
Speaker 1: twenty fifty five, besides all the stuff that went on
Speaker 1: in Singapore, which we have some in depth reporting from
Speaker 1: MIA about that and about the state of the supply chain.
Speaker 1: But first it's time for a little ad break. Don't
Speaker 1: you think even thinking, as it's been two long since
Speaker 1: Margaret cut to ads, what's held all this filler? I
Speaker 1: know a lot of you all subscribed to Cooler Zone
Speaker 1: media just to get the weird edited, just the ad transitions.
Speaker 1: So you know, here's an ad transition. It's time to
Speaker 1: stop eating house plants. The Council for Countering Houseplant Consumption
Speaker 1: would like to remind you that most houseplants are mildly
Speaker 1: toxic to humans and do not contain nutritional value. The
Speaker 1: videos telling you pothoses a superfood were likely cooked up
Speaker 1: in a Dallas misinformation lab. Do not eat house plants.
Speaker 1: Are you tired of suffering from climate grief syndrome, overwhelmed
Speaker 1: by hot summers and mass extinction? Do you want to
Speaker 1: spend your time riding a stegosaurce through the remaining forests
Speaker 1: of the world, rifle in hand, friends close by, listening
Speaker 1: to the birds shooting clearcutters. The Earth's lungs Defense Force
Speaker 1: might be right for you. We are looking for dedicated
Speaker 1: environmentalists willing to stand between the lungs of the Earth
Speaker 1: and the corporations that are trying.
Speaker 2: To destroy them.
Speaker 1: All potental applicants must pass a mandatory background check to
Speaker 1: determine eligibility. Disqualifying factors include an inability to distinguish between
Speaker 1: sustainable harvest and clear cutting or impulse control, or a
Speaker 1: sentimental attachment to human life. The ELDF advocates violence and
Speaker 1: is considered a terrorist organization by all nationals governments as
Speaker 1: well as roughly twenty percent of internationalist governments, and even
Speaker 1: application to the ELDF may be considered criminally punishable in
Speaker 1: your jurisdiction. Joining the Earth's Lungs Defense Force has not
Speaker 1: yet been tested in double blind studies to reduce the
Speaker 1: symptoms of climate grief syndrome. Ask your therapist today if
Speaker 1: joining the Earth's Lungs Defense Force is right for you.
Speaker 2: We turn now to a different kind of war. Update.
Speaker 2: Much has already even said about last week's sudden collapse
Speaker 2: of Singapore's ruling People's Action Party and the wave of
Speaker 2: assassinations that finally broke the stalemate on the Singapore in Front.
Speaker 2: I will leave the immediate military analysis to others, stopping
Speaker 2: here only to note that running an entire social system
Speaker 2: based on having a bunch of servants to poor co
Speaker 2: of water free use you don't have to get up
Speaker 2: for your couch is an extremely bad way to run
Speaker 2: a society, both morally and logistically, and move swiftly on.
Speaker 2: What I am interested in, however, is how Singapore became
Speaker 2: a front to the first place, and how shifts in
Speaker 2: global supply logistics heralded but not entirely produced by World
Speaker 2: War three point five, has led us to the end
Speaker 2: of Singapore, one of the world's most brutal settler colonies,
Speaker 2: at the hands of internationalists and indigenous gorillas. Singapore's relative
Speaker 2: weakness in their war against both the internationalists and their
Speaker 2: own population has been in large part of product of
Speaker 2: what we've been calling the devolution of the supply chain.
Speaker 2: The devolution of the supply chain we've seen over the
Speaker 2: last half decade was, of course a devolution in a
Speaker 2: double sense. On one hand, control of the vast global
Speaker 2: supply chains administered by massive corporations devolved down to either
Speaker 2: networks of coordinating councils or legis six wings of state armies.
Speaker 2: On the other hand, supply chains were now largely run
Speaker 2: by dinosaurs. As we all remember well on the day
Speaker 2: of one thousand Suez Is in twenty forty nine, when
Speaker 2: a transwoman named Lily Baker and catch the first interview
Speaker 2: she's done since she literally went underground in season two
Speaker 2: of Under the Pants and Under the Ground, tasked with
Speaker 2: keeping the Internet running across three quarters of the world's
Speaker 2: cargo ships, simply walked away from her desk after being
Speaker 2: mistreated on the job one too many times and never
Speaker 2: came back, causing a pile up of ships in the
Speaker 2: Suez that remains to this day. The tattered remains of
Speaker 2: the old globe spanning supply chains collapse completely in their wake.
Speaker 2: The essentialized networks of light manufacturing that had sprung up
Speaker 2: as attempts by civilians to survive the previous World War
Speaker 2: by producing the things they needed to survive for themselves,
Speaker 2: revved into full gear to supply them. Vast land convoys
Speaker 2: made of past of Cortheosaurus pulled massive carts of supplies
Speaker 2: to areas too contested for the surviving train networks to function. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: on the high seas, after a brief foray into a
Speaker 2: resurgence of sailboats proved unable to meet the challenge of
Speaker 2: running ships. In the age of the Vishnu Shield, various
Speaker 2: types of Ichiosaurus have an instrumental in moving supplies across
Speaker 2: the oceans. The massive supply platforms they haul are of
Speaker 2: course home to the famous pirate parties, the terradacto mounted
Speaker 2: buccaneer Dino writers who played such a crucial role in
Speaker 2: cutting fascist logistics lines across one hundred fronts. We'll be
Speaker 2: talking about the platformists and their pirate parties on the
Speaker 2: show in a few weeks, so stay tuned for that.
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, it's not just pirate activities that
Speaker 2: we can Singapore's defenses. Chinese d industrialization is of course
Speaker 2: an old phenomena, dating back to the nearly prehistoric twenty tens,
Speaker 2: when I was still a breadad young lass, still wearing
Speaker 2: men's clothing and posting.
Speaker 1: In text on the original tow.
Speaker 2: But it was in the Rush belts of Shenzhen, eviscerated
Speaker 2: by decades of a paradoxical combination of trade wars and
Speaker 2: offshoring that intensified the movement of capital down the Mekong
Speaker 2: Delta and into the Chinese interior of previous eras that
Speaker 2: the Third Chinese Civil War began, and it was the
Speaker 2: devolution of the supply chain that finally ended once and
Speaker 2: for all China's role as what early twentieth century writer
Speaker 2: Andrea's mom called the smoke stacks of the world. But
Speaker 2: what does all this have to do with Singapore. Some
Speaker 2: of you already know that Dino writers from the either
Speaker 2: optimistically or nihilistically named Final Shanghai Commune, the successor to
Speaker 2: the Second and Third Shanghai Communes of the twenty thirties
Speaker 2: and twenty forties, were instrumental in cutting off fascist reinforcements
Speaker 2: from Beijing. But the most extensive damage inflicted on Singapore
Speaker 2: by the devolution of the supply chain was economic. Singapore's
Speaker 2: role as a financial clearinghouse for capital in the Pacific
Speaker 2: RIM was already being made obsolete by the shift of
Speaker 2: capital away from the old Chinese and more modern Vietnamese
Speaker 2: rouss belts even before the old supply chains collapsed completely.
Speaker 2: But as they disappeared, much of Singapore's economy went with it.
Speaker 2: When Neo Neom City, the first city That's a perfect circle,
Speaker 2: sink beneath the waves two years ago, it took most
Speaker 2: of Singapore's capital reserves beneath the waves with it, Now
Speaker 2: fatally weakened to besieged by internationalist forces, All it took
Speaker 2: was some clever weapons smuggling and the rage of an
Speaker 2: indigenous population forced to endure the endless cruelty of the
Speaker 2: Chinese Singaporean settlers to topple the People's Action Parties one
Speaker 2: party state. To everyone on the front lines, we can
Speaker 2: for the first time declare today Singapore, tomorrow the world.
Speaker 1: And that's where we stand. It's a bright, bold new year.
Speaker 1: I can't claim in all good conscience that it's going
Speaker 1: to be better than last year. It'll probably be worse.
Speaker 1: Most years are going to be worse.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 1: You're old enough to know this. Every year is worse
Speaker 1: than the year before because of the climate apocalypse and
Speaker 1: encroaching fascism. But there are still so many beautiful things
Speaker 1: that we accomplish, and there's such beautiful lives that we
Speaker 1: can lead. Our lives that are shorter, any less valuable.
Speaker 2: No, not at all.
Speaker 1: A life is a life is a life. So we're
Speaker 1: going to live our best ones. Here at cool Zone Media.
