Media Roots Radio – State Crimes Against Democracy

Posted on December 1, 2013 by abby

Abby and Robbie Martin discuss the LAX shooting that happened last month and the implications it could have for others peacefully protesting TSA policies. They talk about willful blindness preventing people from accepting reality when it comes the extent of government criminality. Since the phrase ‘conspiracy theory’ has become weaponized against those questioning government propaganda, the term ‘State Crimes Against Democracy’ should be used when describing secret acts committed by government elements, such as financial looting with the banking industry.

Media Roots Radio – Syrian War Tension & the Politicization of al Qaeda

Posted on September 20, 2013 by Robbie

On this edition of Media Roots Radio, Abby and Robbie Martin discuss Syria and the politicization of al-Qaeda to perpetuate the War on Terror. Did the US government finally hit an existential ‘wall’ of geopolitics where Russia is standing up to the US about the Syrian invasion and other Middle East incursions? The discussion of Islamic extremists being involved with the rebels in Syria brings the discussion to dissecting the myth of ‘al Qaeda’ being used to generate fear and continuous war.

CIA Popularized ‘Conspiracy Theory’ Term to Silence Dissent

Posted on August 21, 2013 by Camilla Yanushevsky

In an era of rampant surveillance, government secrecy, and whistleblower crackdowns, more and more questions have arisen over the actions and intentions of the US government. But regardless of how doubtful we may be of its justifications, we’re taught to just accept the explanation that’s given.

And if we don’t – if we openly acknowledge the gaping holes – that makes us ‘conspiracy theorists’, a pejorative term that for years has been cast on those who have been bold enough to seek the truth.

Breaking the Set reports on when the term became an establishment tool to shut down critical thinking and how labeling truth-seekers as ‘conspiracy theorists’ damages democracy.
