The Venezuelan Opposition
Editors Note: Do not let the Title fool you. This is a full blown hit job by Abby Martin. Abby Martin is no more on the side of the rebels than the US Government. Still, it is fair reporting but far from being honest. Abby Martin goes on the deadly front lines of the anti government protests in Venezuela and follows the evolution of a typical guarimba—or opposition barricade. She explains what the targets from the opposition reveal about the nature of the movement and breaks down the reality of the death toll that has rocked the nation since the unrest began, and how a lynch mob campaign came after…

Privacy, Control & the Darknet – Alex Winter with Abby Martin
Out of the periphery of most online users, there’s a vast, hidden space used by people who want to remain anonymous, which filmmaker Alex Winter explores in his documentary Deep Web. The film focuses on the Silk Road, a black market hosted on the Darknet using bitcoin cryptocurrency, and the trial of Ross Ulbricht, who was given a double life sentence without the possibility of parole for creating and hosting the site. Abby Martin and Alex Winter discuss more about the Deep Web, the Drug War, and why encryption on things like signal still matter in light of the Wikileaks’ Vault 7 release.

Venezuela Economy Minister—Sabotage, Not Socialism, is the Problem
Editors Note: This is a puff pastry treat article, by Abby Martin. Normally, I would not post the article but it is rare to actually hear from a Venezuelan Government official. The Venezuelan Government Official is right, it is an economic war against his nation but the rest of the discussion is beyond full of shit level. For CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox, this is Abby Martin’s application for a State Media position. You will just have to convince her to join the Empire. Today in the corporate media, Venezuela’s economic problems are used to paint the country as a failed state, in need of foreign-backed regime change. To…

Buying a Slave – The Hidden World of US/Philippines Trafficking
Human trafficking is a hidden industry that brings in $150 billion in illegal profits every year. In the United States, tens of thousands are trafficked annually—the biggest clients being major hotel chains and foreign diplomats. The Philippines is one of the largest labor exporters in the world. 6,000 Filipinos—mostly women—leave the country every single day to work, because of mass unemployment and poverty. Tricked by placement agencies, thousands end up living as virtual slaves. Damayan, a New York-based organization led by Filipina domestic workers, is fighting this underground crisis. Abby Martin speaks to several members of the organization about how this exodus of women has devastated a generation of families,…

Israeli Army Vet’s Exposé – “I Was the Terrorist”
In a rare, candid conversation, Abby Martin interviews a former Israeli Army combat soldier who served as an occupier in Palestine’s Hebron City. Eran Efrati spent years as a sergeant and combat soldier in the Israeli military, but has since become an outspoken critic of the occupation of Palestine and Israeli apartheid. Efrati gives explosive testimony on the reality of his service and explains how war crimes are institutionalized, as well as how systematic the oppression against Palestinians really is in a war of conquest that will no-doubt be accelerated under the Trump Administration.

Fascism & the Christian Right
Editors Note: The topic of Fascism & the Christian Right is a valid and worrying topic. The view of Abby Martin and Chris Hedges adding President Trump into the discussion is foolish because it is based on nothingness. I understand some of the issues and complaints regarding certain appointments that President Trump has made but the leap to the administration backing Fascism is not based on facts or alternative facts. In spite of this issue, the discussion is awesome and it will be a good watch. For the first time in modern history, a fringe wing of Christian extremists have obtained the highest seats of power in the US government—from…

Post-Soviet Russia, Made In The U.S.A.
The increased aggression towards Russia from US politicians and media is made more clear when taking into account the real history of the post-Soviet period. The hidden story of Boris Yeltsin’s presidency explains how deeply the US government, along with Western capitalist institutions, cheered, shaped and exploited the country after the fall of the Soviet Union, paving the way for the political system they all condemn today. To uncover just how much the US Empire has interfered in Russia’s political evolution, Abby Martin interviews Mark Ames, an American journalist who spent a decade reporting from Yeltsin’ and Putin’s Russia and witnessed the country’s transformation from an American “colony” to it’s…
