Robbie’s right.  Steve Bannon even said it: https://youtu.be/94qFKdw3jh8

I have to say, I found Plandemic II much more compelling and watchable than the first part. It discusses the conflicts of interests at the nexus between big pharma and public health. And what an ugly picture that is. I would not not simply dismiss it outright, but consider each claim individually. Good show. tx!

love the background music (for the first time hahahhaha) great to gear you are back Abby!  love you guys!

A friend of ours (affluent white kid) (from illinois lives in colorado) has been said to be driving around the American West living in a van on a full Q anon kick. Crazy shit. 

It was wonderful to hear Abby again. Much love to Media Roots Radio! You two are the best!

It could have been caused by covid - mental health problems are on the rise not just from covid but from isolation

precedent is france, where police have aimed high at Yellow Vests, knocking out or blinding 25 protesters and bystanders,  at last count. then Chile police and security forces boasted they had bettered the French with 200 eye-shots.

Almost every wealthy country in the world has some type of universal healthcare system--except for the United States. With over 170 million of its citizens left to fend for themselves in a sprawling and complex maze of Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, tax credits, child care subsidies, co-pays, deductibles and cost-sharing, the U.S. has not only the largest uninsured population, but also the most expensive system on Earth per capita.

Why America doesn’t have a universal healthcare system has historically been explained away with a reductionist mix of pathologizing and circular reasoning. "America hates big government," "we love choice," "Americans distrust anything that reeks of socialism." And while this is true in some limited sense, it avoids the bigger question of why has American so-called "democracy" rejected the numerous proposals to enact a single payer or other forms of universal healthcare?

While there may be some innate Protestant work ethic or rugged individualistic mentality at work here, there’s also been a decades-long multimillion dollar campaign funded by big business, doctor, pharmaceutical and hospital industry interests, and the insurance industry to convince the public to reject universal public healthcare. Indeed, if Americans were somehow intractably opposed to the notion––if they were hardwired to reject socialized medicine––these forces would never have had to spend so much money in the first place.

On this episode, we explore the 80-year long campaign by capital to convince you to not support universal health programs, how these campaigns have historically fear-mongered against Communists, immigrants and African Americans, who benefits from a precarious, employer-controlled healthcare insurance system, and how this propaganda war on the American mind is anything but over.

Our guest is Ben Palmquist, Director of the Health Care and Economic Democracy Program at Partners for Dignity and Rights.

Episode 134: The 80-Year PR Campaign that Killed Universal Healthcare

One of the most prized professional norms for journalists, particularly the United States, is the preservation of neutrality in reporting. While the concept of “objectivity” has fallen out of fashion among mainstream reportage in recent years, related concepts that convey a similar idea such as “impartiality” and “neutrality” have come to replace it. In their mission statements and codes of ethics, corporate and government owned outlets routinely proclaim the importance of impartiality and balance, in the sanctified pursuit of fair, unbiased reporting. 

In theory, this can be a healthy idea. Distinguishing between so-called opinion or editorial versus neutral, down-the-middle reporting –“objectivity” or “impartiality” can give the reader a sense that a series of facts are being reported rather than some guy’s opinion. 
The fundamental problem is when this vaguely aspirational genre morphs into an unchecked ideology––an ideology that requires one to think we live in a world where said facts are curated and created outside of long-existing power structures; that those who produce, on an institutional scale, knowledge products via think tanks and academic institutions are without bias. That journalistic institutions, funded by large corporations and billionaires themselves, don’t decide which neutral facts are important and which aren’t. 

“Objectivity” that doesn’t calibrate power asymmetries or attempt to account for its own institutional ideology isn’t a mode of reporting, it’s conservative conditioning that––if not in intent, in effect––does little more than advance prevailing ruling class ideology. Indeed, anyone who’s ever studied marketing or PR or propaganda will tell you the most effective messaging is that which appears unbiased and impartial.

On today’s show, we’ll examine how objectivity came to be a defining principle of Western journalism and how U.S. media’s understanding of impartiality provides an urbane veneer for racism, homophobia, anti-poor policies and other reactionary currents.

We are joined this week by journalist Lewis Raven Wallace, author of The View from Somewhere: Undoing the Myth of Journalistic Objectivity.

#327:  Multiverse Traveling Starseeds with Von Galt

Danny Haiphong of Black Agenda Report joins Robbie Martin for an in-depth discussion about COVID-19 showing the US empire in decline, revealing an ugly undercurrent of anti-Chinese xenophobia that has exploded exponentially. In the second half, Danny talks about how Black Lives Matter could merge with other leftist issues movements like anti-imperialism and the class struggle, and how leftists can effectively oppose Trump without resembling the neoliberal press that thrives on sensationalizing everything he does. In the last third, Robbie brings up the 'Boogaloo Boys' shooting death of an officer in Oakland, which was initially blamed on Antifa but was actually done by an active duty US air-force sergeant inspired by a troll right-wing group on 4chan that wants to start a civil war.

Pandemic Xenophobia, the Decline of US Empire & Normalcy of the Extremist Right w/ Danny Haiphong

Robbie Martin's long-awaited QAnon episode of Media Roots Radio is finally here! This episode is in 2-parts, the 2nd part titled 'WWG1WGA Along with a Psyop, QAnon’s Grasp on the ‘Woke’ Empire Baby Mind & Weaponizing Satanic Panic' is now unlocked: https://bit.ly/3xiAWcx

Part 1: The Origins of QAnon, Follow the White Rabbit Into a Deeper Layer of the MAGA cult delves into the chronology of how the Podesta e-mail leaks eventually led to what we now as the anonymous self labeled 'patriot' Qanon. Robbie also delves extensively into what QAnon is and what purpose it might serve and also speculates about who or what groups may be behind it. Figures like Alex Jones, Jerome Corsi, Roger Stone, Erik Prince & Steve Pieczenik are examined as potential participants in the QAnon psyop and the idea of it being connected to Trump's administration is taken seriously as a possibility.

EPISODE 156: Strike Farce Dominion

Bonus Episodes

Robbie Martin goes solo on this episode of Media Roots Radio to discuss a wide range of issues and stories that slipped through the cracks on earlier episodes, delving into General Flynn's QAnon oath, Freudian projections of 'classical liberals' like Tim Pool who constantly obsess over what they see as an impending civil war, Tucker Carlson's head writer being fired over comments on a web forum and how his program acts as a pipeline for neocon war propaganda about China. Robbie concludes by going over recent escalations between the US and China and why these asymmetrical warfare maneuvers are largely going under the radar.

Washington and Franklin were devout Freemasons, dedicating their lives to the craft. Robbie ends the episode with George Washington arguing with a 'conspiracy theorist' of his era in a series of letters accusing Freemasons of trying to destroy Christianity.
