Abby and Robbie Martin talk about the tragic loss of investigative journalist Robert Parry and go over his career of breaking stories that shaped our world, from CIA drug trafficking to the Iran hostage crisis, and his constant challenge of the establishment consensus. They also discuss the false missile alert in Hawaii and Japan and muse whether it was done on purpose to gin up public fear and consent, the new Oxfam study of billionaires, humanitarian aid group ‘No More Deaths’ charged with federal crimes, Chelsea Manning attending Cernovich’s party and the normalization of the Alt Right on a new Media Roots Radio.

This week, Abby Martin took a break from being the host of a podcast to being a guest on one – the It’s Going Down Podcast. The anarchist podcast explored a wide range of themes including Abby’s relationship with RT America, the current focus of anti-Russian sentiment, as well as her most recent work on Empire Files in Houston and elsewhere.

“Look no further than CBS CEO Les Moonves. During the lead up to the election…he said, “It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS.” Money is rolling in, and ‘this is fun.’ Yeah, it’s really, really fun to have [Trump] steamrolling…the most repressive agenda we’ve seen in quite a long time in this country.” – Abby Martin
