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.

#382 - David Fincher Is In Complete Control

Robbie Martin goes solo in a roundup episode for May, but (of course) ends up going off on multiple tangents.  First OpenAI's recent warning about AI aiding 'foreign election meddling' is examined, next AI corporations pushing 'ethics' and trying to curb 'disinfo' is scrunitized, the podcast then concludes with speculations about the desired outcomes of Trump's recent felony conviction.

Check out the new release under Robbie's musical moniker: Fluorescent Grey, Smelted released on Katabatik Music :

An accompanying music video was also released for the track 'Assertive Tintometry Unhinging' here: https://youtu.be/BynnPnHfFX0?si=k8ZHDtuNEVj-gYQj

Music video for the Fluorescent Grey track 'Mi Call ET' premieres on 6/5/24
