Media Roots Radio - LAX Shooting, State Crimes Against Democracy (SCADs)
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 – Obama's Syrian War
On the latest edition of Media Roots Radio, Abby and Robbie Martin discuss how a new war against Syria seems all but inevitable.
They talk about the eerily similar establishment rhetoric between the Iraq war buildup and today’s Syria war mongering – specifically the potential unilateral US military action in defiance of the UN, the ‘humanitarian’ justification and the scare tactics of ‘chemical weapons’. A recent speech by Secretary of State, John Kerry, marked a distinct turning point in the ferocity of the Syria rhetoric, which is dissected by Robbie and Abby in its entirety.
