Abby Martin appeared on the Duncan Trussel Family Hour to discuss the intersection between mental illness and capitalism in America, the rise of ‘fake news’ to displace honest discourse and criticism, and America’s colonization of the world. Tune in for this fascinating conversation from an alternative point of view.

Robbie and Abby Martin interview investigative journalist Barrett Brown about his body of work fighting the cyber-industrial complex and promoting the idea of open source collaboration. They discuss how his reporting on the Stratfor leak made him a target of the US empire and sent him to prison for five years, the trajectory of Wikileaks and Julian Assange, Reality Winner and the Pursuance Project, his new initiative to unite the efforts of activists, researchers and journalists.

Abby and Robbie discuss Trump’s zero-tolerance immigration policy and dehumanizing anti immigrant rhetoric, the lawlessness of gestapo police force ICE, the corporate media’s manufactured outrage about the family separation crisis, how we got here: from NAFTA to the DHS to ‘Deporter-In-Chief’ Obama, the cognitive dissonance from Americans to not connect how US foreign policy bred the refugee and immigration crisis in the first place. They also go over all the latest updates in Gaza and the West Bank in Palestine.
