When the Pentagon Tells You “The Truth is Out There”, UFO Psyops & the Unexplained Pt 1 of 2
Robbie and Abby Martin examine why the Pentagon and Mainstream Media (CNN, 60 minutes, NYTimes) are taking the phenomenon of UFO sightings and theories into the realm of 'acceptable' dialog among the American public. While there is most definitely a psychological warfare component of this new wave of UFO media coverage, one cannot completely write-off the multitude of believable UFO sightings and abduction stories. The only difference now is that the US military is allowing officials to openly speak about their own sightings to the media and encouraging pilots and soldiers to report their encounters. The episode starts with a full chronological breakdown of how this new wave of media coverage materialized.
On Part 2 of the episode available to our Patreon subscribers, Robbie and Abby break down many different angles of what could actually be happening, both with potential technologies UFOs utilize to the specific goals of what could be a form of psychological warfare. Finally they delve into how the Project for the New American Century Bush-era neocons actually asked for a 'US Space Force' in the same 2000 document (Rebuilding America's Defenses) they had also asked for a 'New Pearl Harbor'.

Libs Love Lab-Leak, Geopolitical Sting Op & the Wuhan Coincidence w/ gumby4christ
Robbie brings on researcher gumby4christ for a sequel of sorts to the previous Media Roots Radio episode 'The Oswald Institute of Virology, COVID-19 Origins & US Military Biowarfare'. Just when it seemed like the Covid 'lab-leak' talk had gone away it comes back with a vengeance. A series of incriminating e-mail exchanges got dumped revealing 'Gain of Function' research funded by the US government at the Wuhan BSL-4 lab and Anthony Fauci's full awareness of it. This eventually led to Fauci conceding that Covid-19 could have leaked from a lab and Jon Stewart saying on Late Night with Stephen Colbert that it was a pandemic 'created by scientists'. Robbie & Gumby break down every conceivable angle of what could actually be going on here, from the idea of a long con Wuhan lab sting operation as a vehicle for a geopolitical strategy against China to how the propaganda campaign resembles WMDs in Iraq but could be employing reverse psychology ('the fact checker elites lost!'). The podcast concludes with Gumby revealing the contents of the Ft. Detrick USAMRIID documents he obtained via a FOIA.

American Fear of China, Biden-Trump Continuity & Libertarian Hasbara w/ Dave DeCamp
Robbie Martin brings on prolific foreign policy journalist/writer Dave DeCamp of Antiwar.com again to talk about the increasing hysteria and fear Americans are exhibiting over China and how there is seemingly bipartisan support in DC and among the public for an aggressive stance against China. Dave and Robbie then move on to the different camps of Libertarianism, first the camp that espouses Zionist talking points, neocon rhetoric on China and wants to work with the MAGA-right and the other camp that still resists all forms of US imperialism. The discussion concludes with an assessment of where things are at with US/Russia relations in the Biden-era.

Masonic Rosicrucianism, Hermetic Theosophy, Blavatsky & Paschal Beverly Randolph Pt 7 [Preview 2]
This is a preview clip to the Media Roots Radio series by Robbie Martin, The Freemasonic History of the United States Part 7: Masonic Rosicrucianism, Hermetic Theosophy, Blavatsky & Paschal Beverly Randolph. To hear the entire 8 hour episode or the full series become a subscriber @ www.patreon.com/mediarootsradio
It is the 1870s, Freemasonry is at the peak of its popularity and has become an old hat, secret society enthusiasts are bored and looking for something more esoteric and magical. Robbie Martin tells an intertwining story about the spiritualism revival in the United States that involves Sex Magician P.B. Randolph and Theosophical Society founders H. Blavatsky & Henry Steel Olcott [ the latter 3 ingested drugs, even hallucinogens to commune with spirits ]. Italian magician Cagliostro makes a comeback, and the rise of new types of mystical esoteric fraternal societies become inevitable, ones that heavily borrow from Rosicrucianism and Eastern Religion. Instead of just becoming appendant bodies of Masonry, the popularity and the mystique of these new Rosicrucian societies [ S.R.I.A. , S.R.I.C.F. , F.R.C. ] and Theosophical groups start to eclipse those of Freemasonry itself.
