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.

359 / Earth’s Greatest Enemy / Abby Martin

An Irish boyband called Boyzone sees their bad boy accuse other musicians of doing satanic rituals on stage. In Utah, a bill is advanced to criminalize “ritual abuse of a child” that speaks of animal sacrifice, cannibalism, bestiality, corpse mutilation, bondage, coffins and open graves. Meanwhile, Tim Ballard, the heroic subject of a recent blockbuster biopic is fighting back against accusations that he coerced multiple women into sex in the course of his “missions” to save children in foreign countries. In the house to cover all of this: Julian Feeld, Jake Rockatansky, Travis View, Liv Agar and Annie Kelly.

#378 - The Toronto Film Legends That Made Us

The destruction of Gaza proves the entire mainstream western worldview is bullshit, because if the mainstream western worldview was accurate, the destruction of Gaza would not be happening.

Reading by Tim Foley.

If The Mainstream Worldview Was Accurate, Gaza Wouldn't Be Burning

What is Iran’s military and political strategy now that it has struck back against Israel’s illegal bombing of its embassy, and with another cycle of escalation looming? Israel’s strikes killed over a dozen people, including two Iranian generals, while Iran’s response produced no casualties. Why is Israel escalating? What does global public opinion look like towards the U.S. Empire on one side and the “Axis of Resistance” on the other? What consequences could the U.S. face in the region if Israel strikes again?
