They discuss history of US intervention, the 2020 Democratic presidential contenders positions and give a call to action for protests as well as for active duty soldiers to file for conscientious objector status.

While Abby is off touring the country to screen her new film ‘Gaza Fights for Freedom’ Robbie holds down the fort and brings on special guest Leslie Lee III from the Struggle Session podcast to have a wide ranging discussion on Disney’s ‘woke points’, the sagging Marvel Cinematic Universe and their betrayal of Star Wars creator George Lucas (who called Disney ‘white slavers’). The last third of the discussion turns to the idea of public domain fiction that can’t be ‘bought’ by a corporation and why Leslie thinks horror writer H.P. Lovecraft still has so much staying power today. Leslie also addresses Lovecraft’s ‘virulent’ racist views but explains how those are not necessarily central to his actual horror writings.

Robbie Martin of Media Roots Radio guides the listener through the history of the infamous ‘Israeli Art Student’ spy ring that was identified by the DEA in an official leaked document from 2000 and how this spy ring crosses over with the illicit global MDMA/Ecstasy trade, the 9/11 hijackers in Florida and possibly dozens of Mossad cut-out operations operating inside the United States.

In the episode we provide an exclusive report from Dancesafe.org co-founder Emanuel Sferios about his own encounter with the Israeli spy ring in 1999.

Additional documentation, video clips and pointers were provided by researchers Jon Gold and DJ Thermal Detonator
