Robert Parry Tribute, False North Korean Missile Alerts & Right Wing Calls for Martial Law

Abby and Robbie Martin talk about the tragic loss of investigative journalist Robert Parry and go over his career of breaking stories that shaped our world, from CIA drug trafficking to the Iran hostage crisis, and his constant challenge of the establishment consensus. They also discuss the false missile alert in Hawaii and Japan and muse whether it was done on purpose to gin up public fear and consent, the new Oxfam study of billionaires, humanitarian aid group ‘No More Deaths’ charged with federal crimes, Chelsea Manning attending Cernovich’s party and the normalization of the Alt Right on a new Media Roots Radio.
