Elaine Mokhtefi (E330)

Enjoyed this one!

Enlightening to hear this woman’s perspective from decades ago, especially the way the media and old guard labeled them. Also incredible story about Algerian govt and Black Panthers. One note-fix the sound on her end. Hard to listen to.

Wow, this was amazing!! Would love to hear more from activists. Nice contrast to the blackpill.

This was so beautiful. Makes me miss my gramma even more, she died in 2019 at 100, and was in occupied Holland during WWII, and she helped her younger brother with some underground resistance work

Listened on July 4th. It was like a balm for the soul.

I have to say, I am not surprised she had issues with algerian secret services, these guys are the worse, known for sadistically torturing "alleged" communists or killing thousands of their own people (specially during the dark decade in the 90s). To refuse to work with them is just another testament to her character and I am glad they didn't cause her any harm.

What a great lady. Notice when she speaks about her reasons to do what she did, how she talk about "hey, it was just a call for justice and solidarity" how she manages to makes it sound so normal, a no brainer, it is heart warming.

Wow! What an inspiration to live an incredible and interesting life. I could have listened to her all day.

Very fucking good lads

Cool episode! it's awesome to hear more about Algerian liberation, beyond the great movie battle for algeria

More interviews like this please!

Incredible to hear from Elaine. So glad you got her to come speak to us, Julian!!!

I’m a little hit or miss on the interview style episodes (which isn’t a complaint- I don’t expect every episode you make to be catered specifically to me haha) but this is a brilliant episode with a brilliant subject. possibly one of your best episodes ever. Putting her book at the top of my to read list

So this woman just admitted to helping cover up a murder?

I don’t mean to glaze but This was an awesome interview Mr. Feeld. Wish Jake had asked her abt Ghostbusters tho

Incredible episode! I could listen to her for hours.

Amazing interview well done Julian and thank you Elaine. Easily in the top 5 QAA episodes for me

Wonderful episode.

Brilliant. Follow up: Ashanti Alston did an interview on Andrewism's channel 🏴

Julian - well done! Incredible interview! What an unexpected treat and so vital for this moment.

Nothing left to say except thank you Julian and Elaine for a truly unique and inspiring interview. Oh, and thanks to Jake for his restraint 😂

I can't believe I am hearing about Algerian revolution here, always thought people in the US has never even heard about it. Very excited about this episode I can't thank you guys enough to tackle such important topic as decolonisation.

Thanks so much !

Julian, such a gripping and inspiring episode. So many thanks to you and your powerful guest. Well done man.

What an incredible person, what an incredible life. Thanks Julian

That was the coolest thing you guys have done in the history of the show

Fantastic episode!!! I did a paper in university about Algerian independence. She is amazing.

WOW WOW WOW! Thank you so much. What a special treat to hear from a living participant in revolutionary history. More please🙏🏻

Does anyone have the name of the song in the outro?

This was fascinating, beautiful, and inspiring. I’m so glad you offered this and that I listened.

Beautiful paintings 💙

Feeling strangely buoyed by the tale of the one person who made it through alive Like: the warm, cocaine-like positivity of optimism and comradery - good stuff and another bump in a week where there are hints that all is not lost This kind of content is Good! We all need an alternative narrative that inspires and it's roots lie in Elaine's story x

Amazing. What a badass.

Amazing episode, thank you for this content! You guys continue to raise the bar.

What a life

This was fantastic, thank you. Made me rewatch Battle of Algiers, possibly the best movie ever made.

Incredible

This rules

That was a cool episode ty!

Best episode ever.

Well done Julien. Bringing a companion de route of Frantz Fanon, is a great achievement for qaa. People like these are the best vaccine against the red pill!

Thank you so much for this episode. I learned so much from Elaine. She serves as a beacon to us all in this fight.

What a badass lady. Good info for our times, very relevant. This is the shizz I pay good Ameros for!

Amazing episode, all-timer. She is so inspiring

This was a fucking epic one Julian. Thank you so much. Solidarity with Elaine! ✊️

Curious: There was a mention of her art work & a link in the show notes... but I'm only seeing a link for the book. Please share if known... PS: Great episode!

This was so interesting. I had no idea about Timothy Leary being sent to Algeria.... and I totally agree with you that it was probably a cointelpro-esque calculated move to disrupt any political progress. Good on Elaine and the the BPP for recognizing it and calling it out. Thank you so much for bringing her book to my attention, definitely going to purchase. Love how she brings her political awareness through her near century of activism to this moment. Free Palestine ✊

rad to hear a living person w/ a transatlantic accent

Unique & amazing episode. Thank you Elaine for all the wonderful work you've done in your life & thank you QAA for sharing her story with us. Remains one of the best pods in my "Never Cancel" pateron category. Everyone show support by considering buying her book!

Ty! One of the best!

Banger episode, boys. what an amazing and inspiring life. I'm always here for the pilled nonsense, but conversations like this help alleviate the feelings of doom. Thank you.

That’s right, Queen. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Thanks for fixing this you late night numb nuts, mwah mwah

Brilliant Ep. Just what I need right now.

Truly inspiring ep to wake up to today. Also what was that closing track?

Really amazing!! What a life

This is the shit I pay y'all for. Literally awesome interview, I am in awe.

Amazing episode. What a fascinating life. Thank all. ❤️

I have chills after that episode. Just brilliant. Thank you guys.

Wow.

Great episode you guys! Feel proud, this voice needed to be heard. I had never heard of her (which might be ok being a Canadian) but still, I was sad for a minute that I had never been exposed to her and her life’s work. The sadness was quickly uplifted by this interview, her story and the reverence you guys showed her. I checked out her website and her art is incredible. I was curious what her artistic voice would evoke, and the gentle stillness was surprising in the best way. It was calming yet evocative. Thank you so much for opening my world❤️

Fist bump when I thought you were just about her double fist pump when realised it was in interview.

I saw the name of the episode and was like "Oh god, who's THIS awful person I've never even heard about gonna be! Why do new ones keep popping up!? Or maybe she's been here all along... What kind of depraved individual am I about to be exposed to this time?" But to my great surprise it turns out she's a really GOOD person I hadn't heard of before! What a concept.

Fantastic interview, what an amazing person and what a life she's had

What a woman! Thanks for this! Makes me even more depressed about where the world is going, though. Why do the most awful, moronic or evil twats and bastards always rise to power?

Goddamn I hope I sound this clear and coherent at 96.

Well I fell in love with Elaine for answering email at 96 cause damn, I'm not even 50 and I'm over that shit What a very cool kid who grew into an amazing woman. Thank you for bring this conversation to my ears 💗

Liv agar!!!!!!
