In this episode, Whitney and Robbie Martin of Media Roots discuss how the recent heavy promotion of UFOs by the military and intelligence communities masks a decades-old neoconservative agenda to militarize outer space as a way to indefinitely secure American military hegemony. Originally published on Rokfin on June 12, 2021.

The Neocon Agenda to Militarize Space with Robbie Martin

Robbie Martin brings on prolific foreign policy journalist/writer Dave DeCamp of Antiwar.com again to talk about the increasing hysteria and fear Americans are exhibiting over China and how there is seemingly bipartisan support in DC and among the public for an aggressive stance against China. Dave and Robbie then move on to the different camps of Libertarianism, first the camp that espouses Zionist talking points, neocon rhetoric on China and wants to work with the MAGA-right and the other camp that still resists all forms of US imperialism. The discussion concludes with an assessment of where things are at with US/Russia relations in the Biden-era.

American Fear of China,  Biden-Trump Continuity & Libertarian Hasbara w/ Dave DeCamp

Robbie brings on researcher gumby4christ for a sequel of sorts to the previous Media Roots Radio episode 'The Oswald Institute of Virology, COVID-19 Origins & US Military Biowarfare'. Just when it seemed like the Covid 'lab-leak' talk had gone away it comes back with a vengeance. A series of incriminating e-mail exchanges got dumped revealing 'Gain of Function' research funded by the US government at the Wuhan BSL-4 lab and Anthony Fauci's full awareness of it. This eventually led to Fauci conceding that Covid-19 could have leaked from a lab and Jon Stewart saying on Late Night with Stephen Colbert that it was a pandemic 'created by scientists'. Robbie & Gumby break down every conceivable angle of what could actually be going on here, from the idea of a long con Wuhan lab sting operation as a vehicle for a geopolitical strategy against China to how the propaganda campaign resembles WMDs in Iraq but could be employing reverse psychology ('the fact checker elites lost!'). The podcast concludes with Gumby revealing the contents of the Ft. Detrick USAMRIID documents he obtained via a FOIA.

We looked at the similarities between empires collapsing of the past. Oddly enough we believe we found a pattern in the madness. Sean read a book about domestic Russian actors and asset stripping it's called Godfather of the Kremlin: The Decline of Russia in the Age of Gangster Capitalism by Paul Klebnikov. Many Russian accents, Drago impressions, and dark truths of our futures past?

Episode 240: The collapse of the Soviet Union and Russia in the 90s (Part 1)

Senator Mike Gravel passed away on June 26, 2021 at the age of 91. Leaving an amazing political career behind him, Robbie and Abby decided to reflect on his *true* legacy, one that has been white washed and cherry picked even in the recent newspaper obituaries. A legacy that includes sticking his neck out on taboo issues like advocating for a new 9/11 investigation and pushing legislation encouraging cooperation with the formerly People’s Republic of China. Gravel has been a huge inspiration to Media Roots since the beginning, leaving a lasting imprint on both Abby and Robbie since they watched him on the presidential debate stage vs Barack Obama in 2008. Because of this admiration, Robbie and Abby felt lucky they got Senator Gravel on Media Roots Radio twice as a guest over the years.

Early internet independent journalists Eric and Mike Jackman, also known as the Jackman brothers, had an opportunity to meet Gravel during the 2008 primary, as they happened to live in New Hampshire, a prime spot for visiting campaigning candidates during the presidential primary season. While Gravel was campaigning there, Eric landed a job working for the Senator as his driver. The Jackman Bros tell many hilarious and fascinating anecdotes from their long car rides with the Senator as well as much more. 

There’s nothing complicated about today’s episode, this is a celebration of the life and career of Senator Mike Gravel featuring Robbie Martin, Abby Martin, Mike Jackman and Eric Jackman.

Boca Raton, Sarasota, Art Students, Anthrax & Angel is Next 2 of 2

Robbie Martin returns for another Amerithrax deep dive episode while the 20th Anniversary of the attacks continues. This time the focus is on which parts of the anthrax murders that were omitted from the FBI investigation in order to create the appearance that Bruce Ivins was guilty (who committed suicide in 2008 before the FBI could bring charges to him). Most of the epiode focuses on key omisssions from the DOJ executive Amerithrax summary from 2010 like the AMI building crime scene in Florida, the murder of photo-editor Robert Stevens and the still completely mysterious case of the only NY anthrax fatality, Manhattan hospital worker Kathy Nguyen. These omisssions along with the St Petersburg 'hoax' letters' give the false appearance that a single person using only anthrax laced letters as a murder weapon comitted the crime when the evidence (and FBI statements from 2003 and before) actually shows that the attacks were likely conducted by at least two people, using more than just letters to infect and kill their victims.  

Note: Please make sure to look at the newly provided Media Roots Radio 'Anthrax Cache' compiled by gumby4christ & Robbie Martin, a Google Drive link containing over 1 Gigabytes of raw files from the Anthrax and 9/11 investigations as well as 50+ original txt searchable newspaper and tabloid scans to help add context as you listen to this episode,
