Justice League Snyder Cut, Batfleck's CIA Boost & Liz Warren Granny Goodness w/Leslie Lee III
Robbie Martin is joined by Leslie Lee III from the Struggle Session podcast to pour out their love for the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League and go over the tumultuous and strange history of how this mega budget super hero movie redo came to be. Robbie opens with the uncanny resemblance between Snyder's depiction of DC comics character 'Granny Goodness' and Elizabeth Warren. As the episode progresses Leslie and Robbie get into the undeniable career boost Ben Affleck got following his film Argo which was essentially one giant CIA commercial in Oscar-bait form.

Aryan Deities, the Liberty Cap & the Cubicle Ashlar to Infinity Pt 6 [Preview]
This is a preview clip to Part 6 of the Freemasonic History of the United States: Aryan Deities, the Liberty Cap & the Cubicle Ashlar to Infinity [Full episode is 4.5 hours long]. To get access to the full series, become a Patreon subscriber of Media Roots Radio for as little as $5 a month or per creation www.patreon.com/mediarootsradio.
Synopsis: Robbie Martin continues the Media Roots Radio original series, the Freemasonic History of the United States with the golden age of fraternalism and how it was also the golden age of now famous Freemason, Albert Pike. During the post civil war 1870s Pike completed some of his most important works, his re-written Scottish Rite 4th-32nd degree rituals known as his Magnum Opus, his most famous book, Morals & Dogma and his most in-depth work, Indo Aryan Deities And Worship, As Contained In The Rig Veda. But was Albert Pike also a foundational member and 'chief operation officer' of the Ku Klux Klan during their reign of terror simultaneously with his most productive writing and research period? Was Albert Pike fascinated by the Rig Veda because of his 'Aryan heritage' or was it because it may have held clues to the real secret to Freemasonry itself, a mysterious hallucinogenic intoxicant? Robbie takes us through all these questions and more on Aryan Deities, the Liberty Cap & the Cubicle Ashlar to Infinity, the Freemasonic History of the United States Part 6.

The Oswald Institute of Virology, COVID-19 Origins & US Military Biowarfare w/ gumby4christ
Robbie Martin is joined once again by deep politics researcher gumby4christ to discuss the mysterious origins of COVID-19 and to parse through the torrent of anti-China propaganda seeping it's way into the US media ecosystem on all sides.
As a growing consensus builds around the possibility of COVID-19 being man-made/lab-created Robbie and gumby4christ examine why the Wuhan Institute of Virology was scapegoated as the culprit while neocon think-tanks and other nefarious political actors (including from the 'intellectual dark web') omitted the involvement of white Americans with ties to the US bioweapons industry when rushing to characterize this possible scenario as a Chinese military bio-weapons release.
