I knew Iraq didn't have WMD.  I got very depressed when W. Bush said we were invading Iraq.  I thought we had all gone Nuts for allowing it to happen in Our Collective Name.   Everyone Knew it was B.S.  - Everyone.  Was it Mass Formation Psychosis? 

Former Congressman Dennis Kucinich talks to Abby Martin about his fight as Cleveland mayor against the corporation trying to privatize the city's energy grid where he closely evaded an assassination attempt, his historic tenure in Congress where he stood up against the Bush administration's war path, and the fight for accountability within the corporate captured Democratic Party.

Dennis Kucinich, Renegade Against War & Corporations

Biden plays with fire sponsoring the Gaza genocide, as US troops get hit with blowback, reinforcements rush to the Middle East, and the Pentagon escalates by bombing Iranian forces. Iran, Hezbollah, and other armed groups have a red line; how far can the US push before it's crossed? This episode includes critical information for soldiers about why and how they can resist being party to this genocide, and prevent themselves from being sacrificed by Washington.

Israel Heads to The Hague for Genocide

Independent journalist and documentarian Abby Martin joins me to discuss Earth's Greatest Enemy, a feature length documentary that examines one of the largest polluters and contributors to global climate change in the world: the United States military. I ask Abby what the seeds of this massive project were, and why the military-industrial complex is the "elephant in the room" in the political discourse on human-caused climate change. Also, we connect this subject to the horrific mass violence in Gaza being enacted by the State of Israel—with full US complicity—to the ecocide implicit in the maintenance of US hegemonic interests globally.

Abby Martin is an independent journalist and host of The Empire Files, an ongoing interview and documentary series. She is the director of the 2019 documentary Gaza Fights for Freedom, “a documentary about the historic Great March Of Return protests, which occurred every week from March 2018 until December 2019, but covers so much more.”

#359 | Earth’s Greatest Enemy w/ Abby Martin

It's much easier than the Pentagon wants you to think. Whether you're in the military or know someone who is, this is the definitive guide to walking away. And as Biden's support for genocide spins out into new US wars across the Middle East, from the Red Sea to Iraq, now would be a good time to walk away. 

Featuring special guest Maria Santelli, longtime counselor with the GI Rights Hotline, which provides secure, free and expert support to any service member who wants to leave the military.
