  • From the moment Russian troops invaded Ukraine the entire corporate media apparatus in the US moved to 24-7 coverage, filling airwaves with talking heads relentlessly beating the drums of war. Combined with Big Tech’s sophisticated means for silencing and punishing dissenting voices, the increasingly hostile and propaganda-filled discourse that is taking shape today is eerily reminiscent of the “Russiagate” fervor and the cultural hysteria that permeated the post-9/11 years. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with longtime journalist and activist Abby Martin about how the media’s manufactured “bloodlust” for war makes us all less safe and how we must use independent media to advance the cause of peace.
    Abby Martin is an American journalist, show presenter, activist, and artist. She helped found the citizen journalism website Media Roots and is the host of the investigative documentary and interview series The Empire Files. Martin has been involved in numerous film projects, including producing the recent feature documentaries Gaza Fights for Freedom, and she is currently producing another feature entitled Earth’s Greatest Enemy.

      He was once a fearless journalist ... he has spoken on the importance of grassroots activism many times ...
      He has consistently encouraged us to resist tyranny even when things look bleak ...
      In a 2020 interview, he said he told indigenous pipeline protesters to "park your cars in their path, remove the engines and walk away" (paraphrasing)...
      The coverage given to the convoy by his employer - RT, was token-minimal and he did not cover the convoy on his show ON CONTACT ...
      He has also chosen to not comment on the World Economic Forum and the book THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION ...
      After a 2014 speech he was asked to comment on 9/11 and blew it off by saying "Bush was probably just asleep at the wheel" ...
      And I've never heard him even mention Dick Cheney ... he's mentioned Liz Cheney, but not her father ...
      I once admired him but now I despise him for deserting us at a most critical moment in human history ...
      He's no longer on my list of fearless progressive commentators, journalists and non-partisan whistle-blowers ...

    Well, this is the moment I became aware of either Maximillian Alvarez or Abby Martin, and I am a bit shaken, because they helped me realize how uncritical I have been in accepting the news I see and ignorant about the news I can't see. What I've taken away from this is the impression that the US is so loudly supportive of the Ukrainian people not because they actually want their lives to go well, but because we want them to fight harder - to spill more blood and sacrifice more lives - to fulfill our geopolitical interest, not theirs. It's very convenient for us that a key adversary's strength is sapped by a war in which others suffer.

It began with a long list of MSM outlets, CNN, Guardian, and many others, none of which I pay much attention to. On learning that I didn´t watch or read them, the BBC closed the interview. RT, Empire Files, Grayzone, were not on the list. Keep up the splendid work you do.

    The most impactful and challenging aspect to the censorship is that it appears, for some, it's cross-platform. And it appears to be profile based. Not content based. Meaning, there have been profiles built of individuals, and it doesn't matter what platform they share to, or what the exact content of their shared information is; it's suppressed or removed via algorithm and/or human screening. I've had posts removed from public hashtag collections 4-5 months after the fact. And of content that was not political or controversial in any manner. And I've seen it happen to others as well. They aren't just marginalizing ideas, they are marginalizing specific people. Likely based on ideology and perceived threat level assessments as social contagion vectors. Just like the documented blacklists in the 50s and 60s; that were meant to target specific people and socially isolate them.

    Two corrections though: the spectators had picnics and watched the Battle of Manassas, and that it probably wasn't the Rio Grande they were sitting near. Just a funny slip of the tongue, I know.
    Thanks again for your passion, both of you. The second is that yes, what the U.S. has always done while claiming high principles is wrong, but the U.S. and all these other countries are the historical heirs of what humans have done to each other every single day somewhere, and often not far from wherever you are, for as long as we have found humans.
    American's problem is an extension of a psychological problem within our species, and one that has to be individually corrected from birth in order for us to even hope to overcome it.
    While not a Christian, I will cite "The Sins of the Fathers...." as being true. Each kid in the entire world has to be taught from birth that gentleness and logic are the highest values, not strength and a firm belief in the need to kill for survival. Everywhere in the world children learn violence from day one, and few are raised to the higher ideals and most are either raised to the more brutish ones or are exposed socially from birth to those principles. A few have something within them that makes them rise to more beautiful realms of living and thinking, but they are the few, not the majority.
    Yes, we have to stop the American War Machine somehow or else see the planet reduced once again to the most basic forms of life, but we also have to figure out a way to raise sane and compassionate humans that won't need invisible lines to make them different from the people on the other side of that fictional line.

I was disgusted yesterday when a CNN commentator facilitated a US general in delivering a propaganda piece in which he mentioned how important it was to uphold a UN principle that large nations should not attack small nations. I was astonded by the branzeness of this piece, the commentator not even rolling his eyes at the lies coming out of the general's mouth. He even seemed proud that he was bringing this boldface bucket of lies to the public. Really? "Large nations shouldn't attack small nations".

    My anti war, pro peace view goes back to Anti Vietnam War protests in the 1960s. Even then, we didn’t buy the rationale of sending troops to Southeast Asia. Then it was the domino effect of China taking over. In 2003, when the war in Iraq was being discussed, I saw others from my generation out protesting that decision. NYC separated the protesters so they could not congregate in one place. That allowed the reporting the numbers of people voicing their opposition not to see the full statement being made. I have objected to all of these military actions since then and only found others who believed the same on channels like RT.

      It's true, there is a hell of a lot of conditioning we all receive from birth. The worst form of violence is poverty - it spawns so many other negative outcomes and now, any critical thinking person can connect the dots, as Abby Martin has, and can say that capitalism is a killer of an economic system. Capitalism is unsustainable as a social system, economic system and environmental protection system. It's horrific in terms of protecting the environment.
      It's crazy how conditioned people are that most don't even know or aren't willing to confidently say: Capitalism is unsustainable. It must end and we can do better. Capitalism is loving war, it doesn't love peace, and that's a fact.
      The other tragic part is that I believe many people would care about these issues, but because capitalism loves poverty, it means people are forced by the labor-for-income mechanism to have little to no time to really find out the truth. The MSM will not tell them because they are funded by big corporations.
      Do you think we could ever turn on the TV and see the mainstream national news go: "Hello evreybody, our top story today: Capitalism is killing us, it is unsustainable and we must transition away from it fast! Good news, there are plenty of ways to do that, if we do, we will end poverty and most, if not all wars, because wars are often driven out of scarcity of basic needs or resource control. We can implement a post-scarcity or resource-based economy and in the meantime, fund a global UBI with violent billionaires unjust, blood-soaked funds so that people don't have to work BS jobs while we transition to something sustainable."

      Our kosher king pimps are banking on turning the entire planet into 'gangstas pair-o-dice' ( a.k.a. ZION ) If you were Ukrainian --- How would you feel about NATO shelling your city with tomahawk cruise missles to liberate and protect you from the russians who are also just trying to liberate the non Nazi Ukrainian people from the poi-zionist NATO motherfrackers pimping the country into becoming the (tug of war rope) that pokes the bear --- in njew world order to falsely justify blaming Putin for starting WW3 for the bankster kingpimp War pigs . ( CHA - CHING --- CHA - CHING !?! ) (to distract from the colossal epic plandemic fail)
      Nobody should be against
      Ukraine's independence and sovereignty ---
      (as long as no natives need to be evicted first) but the NATO has NO business arming Ukraine to the teeth like they did with the other proverbial 'holy land' ...
      Don't poke the bear.
      What ever happened to Khasaria?
      ( now called Ukraine )
      Did'nt the khasarian mafia (deceptacon hex-nutz) eventually migrate over to europe to inbreed with the royal debt based banksters ? Ya know that sect of pale imposters that got rid of a big chunk of honest to goodness bronze skin hebrews that adamantly objected to the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem until the messiah shows up as according to scripture) in order to hijack Palestinian region and turn it into the genocidal megalomaniac kosher-supremacist den of thieves and tourist-trap attraction it is today ?
      Nobody knows exactly How many (US bought) Nukes Isreal has pointing out in every direction to make sure no other insolent 'heathen' nation trys anything funny.
      Being hellbent on total world domination is fixing to get funny any day now too... Shlalom motherschuckers !
      It is an emergency
      For them uppity socialist elitists that tend to grant all those nice 'FRINGE BENEFITS' to their own insider cheater-class accessories to the plandemic hijacking of humanity and gradually increasingly hostile takeover of planet earth ...
      Lucifer knows his time is up ! Welcome to the worldwide wireless concentration cramp !
      maybe if we'd kiss our corporate cattlerancher state pharmer KINGPIMPS of gangstas pair-o-dice asses hard enough --- they might treat us a little better huh ? (Stockholm syndrome)
      We best start sharpening our mental shivs yawl.
      Hold fast (intermittent fasting from the poi-zion food and information supply) ,
      and stay vigilant (meditation is prayer) --- to achieve Goddesspeed yawl. Time to conscientiously rip the goddamn blindfold MASK veil off Lady Justice --- so she can properly thrash that greedy-sadistic judiciously corrupt fraternity of pig-raping motherfrackers out of the equation entirely. . .
      We need to change "good mourning." into "good dawning !" REJOICE for the kingdom of heaven is in play ! FREEK-OUT !
      And BIG Peace to all honest to goodness children of the earth ...
