“They’re Both Evil!” Abby Martin on Doomed US Election
In the sixth episode of The Racket, journalist and author Matt Kennard speaks to fellow Journalist and Activist Abby Martin. They discuss the US Empire’s subjugation and brutalisation of other countries, the effects of its Military-Industrial complex on climate change and the ongoing accusations of a US-backed genocide in Gaza.
The Racket is a series of interviews based on the book The Racket: A Rogue Reporter vs The American Empire by Matt Kennard. The series examines the power of the US empire around the world and its attempts to control nations via war and economic strangulation.
Throughout the series Matt Kennard and guests will investigate the violent colonial beginnings of the most powerful nation in history, the tightening of its global stronghold post World War II, the crushing of dissent via CIA interference and its various ongoing wars around the world from a range of perspectives.
Matt Kennard is co-founder and chief investigator at Declassified UK, a news outlet investigating British foreign policy. He was a fellow and then director at the Centre for Investigative Journalism (CIJ) in London. He has worked as a staff writer for the Financial Times in Washington DC, New York, and London.

    Excellent points from Abby. Huge like. The US places sanctions on poor counties, specifically on poor people in those countries: On women, on children on vulnerable parts of populations. Those whom they call dictators (+their retinues) are not affected by sanctions at all. Their democracy and double-talk, their fight for human rights or women rights are all hypocrisy. Look, we support Saudi Arabia where they still stone women to death for adultery and stuff like that. That's because it's an ally. Their DEI in reality is nothing but Duplicity, Equivocation, and Inanity. The US should curtail its military escapades around the world. Those military bases and bio-laboratories are not needed or do we play God with virus experiments for military purposes? Do we? Have we lost our minds?

    I lost so many brain cells listening to him. According to him since Israel has been slowly slaughtring kids and women, and intentionally destroying civilian infrastrature, it is not a g cide. Only if they do all these atrocities n hours, which they have the "power" for it, will it become a g cide. He refused to engage in dealing with the settlement disastrous reality to avoid getting embarrassed. Next time when u invite people like him, please force them to watch a video of the attrocities committed by "Israel."

    This idiot doesn’t even know what Apartheid means but he claims every one else doesn’t know except him!! The Palestinians inside Israel live is segregated neighborhoods And we have seen many of them lose their homes once they have many Jewish neighbors Literally their homes stripped from them and given to new arrivals of Jewish singles or families The separation between Palestinians and Jews inside is Israel is so obvious and clear The only difference is when they plant a Jewish family in the middle of a Palestinian neighborhood, that means the government is literally telling the entire Palestinian neighborhood, you could be shot or killed and you should plan to leave because those Jewish seeds are usually full of soldiers allowed to carry machine guns all the time to terrorize the Palestinians and have permission to shoot to kill at any time , and usually they are bullying the kids and the your men and girls and the parents to terrorize them and make them leave and give their homes to other new arrivals Jews

    Is this Zionist guy for real 😂😂😂 He thinks that people who left during the Nakbah are simply living outside happy after nearly 100 years And they lost their lands their homes their businesses to the Israeli But they still should be happy living outside How many Americans would right now leave their parents homes and grand parents home to a Palestinian family to just move in and take it for free? To him it’s that simple, run a way or day, and if you did run a way you lived happily in a western country What about the other half of his family that got killed, what about his forefathers lands property and homes that they lost Why should a Jewish person come from the west own a free property in Palestine and still have his property in the US or Europe, why don’t they change properties with the Palestinians, since it is so simple to him Just pure freaken Zionist He can’t even pronounce Ilan Poppe name but he claims he knows him This was a commando in the Israeli army he claims, total insults to even humanity let a lone being a command, this guys doesn’t appear to have brains 🧠 period 😂😂

    A Message to Abby Martin: Hey, Abby! This is Shane Green here. I’ve been following your work, and I want to give props for the way you dig into reality, exposing truth without holding back. You’re breaking down walls, revealing what’s hidden, and challenging people to see the world in a whole new light. I think you’d vibe with my journey and what I’m exploring too-there’s this deep connection between the personal, the environmental, and the philosophical that I’ve been piecing together, and I feel like it resonates with the themes you tackle. Uncovering the Hidden: My Journey of Environmental Energy and Self-Discovery Like you, I’m driven by a search for truth, but mine has led me into an understanding of what I call “environmental energy manipulation.” It’s a way of connecting with the raw, chaotic energy that surrounds us-transforming it, channeling it, and finding strength in moments that test us to our core. For me, it all started with a car accident that woke me up to how energy flows through life, shaping everything we touch. Since then, I’ve been on a journey to see beyond the surface, to understand the deeper forces that impact us, from the physical to the metaphysical. Questioning Reality: Seeking Depth Beyond the Day-to-Day Abby, you’re someone who asks tough questions, and that’s what I respect most about your work. I’m always diving into my own “supersaturation of habit,” a term I use to describe this high-functioning state where self-awareness and rhythm meet. It’s about finding depth in the day-to-day, staying grounded even when things feel overwhelming. There’s something powerful in questioning the norms, in pushing beyond routines to find the truth that lies underneath. Just like you peel back layers to expose what’s hidden, I try to uncover meaning in every experience, every interaction. Connecting Through Energy: A Philosophy of Sound and Substance I see sound as a type of energy that connects us, shapes us, and reveals layers of who we are. Artists like ‘Of The Trees’ bring that complexity, crafting soundscapes that transport listeners to another state of mind. I feel that same energy in your work-how each episode, each interview, is like a pulse that opens people’s minds. The way you dive deep into topics others won’t touch reminds me of how I channel energy from intense experiences, using it as a tool to understand myself and the world around me. Beyond the Physical: Exploring Cosmic Nature and the Interconnectedness of Life One of the biggest ideas I’ve been exploring is the concept of “cosmic nature”-the idea that the natural world and cosmic forces are interconnected in ways that shape our reality. I know you tackle these big ideas, the kind that remind us how small we are but also how powerful our impact can be. This connection to cosmic nature is something I see in my own life, and I feel like your approach to truth-seeking aligns with this desire to understand our place in the vast scheme of things. Abby, Keep Breaking Boundaries Abby, thank you for everything you do to push boundaries, to bring uncomfortable truths to light, and to make us think deeply about the world we live in. I’m on my own path of discovery, exploring energy, philosophy, and the mysteries of existence. If you’re ever interested in diving into these ideas or just chopping it up about life’s hidden layers, I’m here. Keep challenging, keep exposing, and keep inspiring those of us who are drawn to the raw truth. Much respect, Shane Green
