Media Roots Radio - Election Special 2012 by Abby & Robbie Martin

In this exclusive interview with presidential candidate Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party, he provides three items the American federal government must do right now to get back on track. He also talks about voter suppression, the American political duopoly, the “mallification” of America, and the differences between him and Dr. Ron Paul. Emphatically, Mr. Anderson feels that America needs an era of people driven by “broad-based democracy” in order for America to return to its former glory. This interview was recorded at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida on August 28, 2012 with Adam Miezo for Media Roots.

Media Roots Radio - Obama Immunizes Torturers, Murderers, War Criminals by Abby & Robbie Martin

Abby and Robbie Martin talk about Julian Assange's asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in the UK and how this has nothing do with the rape accusations but is a larger game of intimidation against whistleblowers internationally. They also get into discussing Trapwire, Marine veteran Brandon Raub and Abby's new show 'Breaking the Set' due to air on Russia Today the 4th of September 2012.

This set is dedicated to humanity: the establishment of peace and the eradication of intolerance. I believe this can be achieved once we have taken away the power from elite politicians, lobbyists, CEO's and others that have most of the say in the current operational state of the world. Once we reclaim our power as human beings, we can make this world as amazing and as hospitable as it should be toward every living creature and thing. With the right amount of positive social change, this will become a reality. Love, ATOP Akkad the Orphic Priest Full track listing go to: http://mediaroots.org/media-roots-music-atop-mix-18.php

When I'm not busy writing legislation that allows the POTUS to smash children's testicles, i read comic books. This is my imaginary soundtrack for an imaginary movie adapted from the Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta) run of the comic book Swamp Thing.
