Media Roots Radio Abby & Robbie Martin

Robbie Martin goes solo in a roundup episode for May, but (of course) ends up going off on multiple tangents. First OpenAI's recent warning about AI aiding 'foreign election meddling' is examined, next AI corporations pushing 'ethics' and trying to curb 'disinfo' is scrunitized, the podcast then concludes with speculations about the desired outcomes of Trump's recent felony conviction.

Check out the new release under Robbie's musical moniker: Fluorescent Grey, Smelted released on Katabatik Music :

note: this episode was recorded the evening before the most recent provocation toward Iran by Israel and subsequent retaliation.

Abby and Robbie Martin continue to provide updates about Gaza, the crackdown on pro Palestinian activists around the world and the calculus the US empire makes by ultimately benefitting from the escalation of brazen war crimes by Israel and how the US shares an 'exceptionalism' mentality with Israel that mutually benefit both countries on the geopolitical stage like with the US openly announcing GITMO and extra-judicial killings in the 'War on Terror'
