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

9/11 Anniversary, Hillary Clinton’s Hubris, Russia Today Foreign Agent

Abby and Robbie Martin discuss the post-9/11 world, in which the flat earth and pizzagate theories are more mainstream than questioning the event that was used to justify a police state and endless war. They discuss the implications of the US government’s attempt to register Russia Today and its employees as “foreign agents,” the censorship of independent media by Facebook, Google and others under the guise of “fake news,” and Hillary Clinton’s new book in which she lashes out at Women’s March participants and Bernie Sanders for her abysmal loss.
