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.

The Holy Land Foundation Five are Palestinian political prisoners sentenced up to upwards of 65 years in US prison for providing aid to refugees.

Although no proof exists for the organization providing support for terrorism, it was targeted in the Bush administration’s post-9/11 dragnet, setting an alarming precedent for activists in the US. Abby Martin sits down with an expert on the case, Miko Peled, to learn more about this little-known case.

Miko Peled is an Israeli-born activist for Palestinian rights, and the son of a famous Israeli general. He is the author of “The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine” and “Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five.”
