Corporate Media, Imperialism, People’s Power

 

On May 6, 2018, the excellent grassroots media project acTVism Munich organized an event with Glenn Greenwald, Jill Stein and Abby Martin called “Freedom & Democracy: Global Issues in Context 2.0″ in Munich, Germany.

In an interview with organizer Zain Raza, Abby explains her trajectory as an anti-war activist turned professional journalist for RT America, the inverted reality in America where criticism of the government is smeared as Russian propaganda, her critique of corporate media and passion for a free media; and why her current work centers through the lens of US Empire.

View the entire event including excellent interviews with Jill Stein and Glenn Greenwald and an audience question and answer session at the end.

 

Freedom & Democracy: Global Issues in Context 2.0

Robbie Martin has a long-form discussion with investigative journalist and filmmaker Tom Secker about the alleged Salisbury poisoning incident involving former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter. They run through the official story of this alleged incident and debunk several prevailing narratives as well as analyze how the propaganda surrounding the alleged attack could be used to solidify a greater geopolitical narrative with Syria and Russia.

Abby and Robbie Martin give tribute to renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, talk about Cambridge Analytica using Facebook data to target voters, and how the company acts as a shadowy private intelligence firm that carries out psyops and regime change ops around the world at the behest of Robert Mercer and other oligarchs.

Abby explains the most amazing underwater discoveries in the new Blue Planet series, including an octopus creating a sea shell suit and the vast communication networks that exist across ocean species. They talk about the new Waco miniseries, and the ATF/FBI attack on the compound where 80 people were massacred, the majority women and children.

In light of John Bolton being appointed as Trump’s National Security Advisor, they describe the bizarre trajectory of Alex Jones and Roger Stone–going from ‘fighting the deep state’ to building an open alliance with Bush-era neoconservatives.
