I hope that this program or Abby’s podcast starts to report and interview the new resistance orgs to US imperialism that’s developing out of support for Gaza . There seems to be higher levels of intersection between Gaza’s struggle and the struggle of indigenous peoples in the core of empire .

The Politics of the Trump Indictment

Most people in Germany and France blame the United States and NATO for the war in Ukraine, according to a poll conducted not by a pro-Russian group but rather by anti-Putin activists.

Imperialism: How the struggle of both classes and nations creates our world

Biden plays with fire sponsoring the Gaza genocide, as US troops get hit with blowback, reinforcements rush to the Middle East, and the Pentagon escalates by bombing Iranian forces. Iran, Hezbollah, and other armed groups have a red line; how far can the US push before it's crossed? This episode includes critical information for soldiers about why and how they can resist being party to this genocide, and prevent themselves from being sacrificed by Washington.

Refuse to Fight for Israel's Genocide in Gaza

As the clock ticks down on the truce in Gaza, Israel has attacked and killed at least two children in Jenin, a city in the West Bank.

Brian Becker is joined by Abby Martin, creator & host of the Empire Files and director and narrator of the documentary Gaza Fights for Freedom, at GazaFightsForFreedom.com.

Israel Attacks During ‘Truce’: Will West Bank Explode? w/ Abby Martin

The U.S. Congress and elite colleges and universities are spinning the reality that students are protesting to stop a genocide against Palestinians into the clear fabrication that they’re promoting one against Jewish people—something students haven’t called for. Students are facing repression at campuses nationwide but continue to stand up for their principles.

Brian Becker is joined by Dr. Nazia Kazi, a professor of Anthropology and author of the book “Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics.”

Digital God & A Happy New Year

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.”

#359 | Earth’s Greatest Enemy w/ Abby Martin

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.
