For those of us whose only connection to West Point is loving a certain photo of Spenser, what does it mean to be “top of one’s class” at the Point? Pompeo doesn’t come across as particularly smart, erudite or intellectually curious guy.

After Israel bombed a refugee camp in Gaza for a second time, the global tide is turning against the genocidal campaign  and apartheid state.

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.”

note: this episode was recorded the evening before the most recent provocation toward Iran by Israel and subsequent retaliation. 

Abby and Robbie Martin continue to provide updates about Gaza, the crackdown on pro Palestinian activists around the world and the calculus the US empire makes by ultimately benefitting from the escalation of brazen war crimes by Israel and how the US shares an 'exceptionalism' mentality with Israel that mutually benefit both countries on the geopolitical stage like with the US openly announcing GITMO and extra-judicial killings in the 'War on Terror'
