Hi Abby,

I was doing research on "political grooming" when I landed on mediaroots.org. Liked the tree allegory on the home page and the site in general. Looked your latest posted video interview about the pissing Marines and noted 2 things (appart from your stunning beauty): The alledged OBL is not from Afghanistan but was allegedly based in Afghanistan at the time of 9/11 and RT is might not be part of a conglomerate but is nevertheless state run (which in this case means it's part of Vladimir's Tree).

Great collages by the way.

Keep up the good work and see you on the way.

Congratulations on your work, Abby Martin.

Mickey Huff and Project Censored led me to your 9/4/10 interview with Oriana Saportas on YouTube. (I got to know Oriana a little during KPFA’s 2010 LSB Elections, as a candidate, and also met Mickey once around the same time.)

I hope you keep doing what you do because I've been listening to KPFA since middle school, since the late-80s, and Media Roots and Project Censored, the whole Morning Mix content is some of the best morning material in ages.

Clearly, Democrats and Republicans advance corporate-driven class-warfare against the working-class domestically and U.S. hegemony and imperialism via its foreign policy. Project Censored and Media Roots further confirms this. Those of us who campaigned for Ralph Nader in 2008 expected Obama to be a disaster and, indeed, he was.

I know people are afraid to be viewed as having an agenda or hope to be perceived as non-partisan. I reckon once one is in the public eye, one doesn’t want to alienate anyone, nor offend the sensibilities of Democratic Party faithful. But I hope we all dare to honestly contextualise the role electoral politics, per our two-party dictatorship, plays in circumscribing the working-class. To me exposing these truths, as done by Project Censored, Media Roots, Work Week Radio, Guns and Butter, Flashpoints, and a few other KPFA programmes, is not disempowering, but empowering. I agree the arts are crucial as is featuring positive stories. I just hope empirical reasoning as well as muck-raking, agitation, and rabble-rousing aren’t dispensed with.

To me, what's most disempowering is the perpetual acceptance of the two-party system. No, I don't think a cult-of-personality belief in a presidential saviour will magically solve all ills. I, too, agree that change must come from the bottom-up, from the grass-roots, from the radical, in the literal sense of the Latin etymology, of the roots. But I don't think we must resign ourselves to surrendering the federal level to corporate candidates. I hope you don't shy from slamming Democrats, like Republicans, when they deserve it. People must hear the truth.

I've said too much. But thank you for all you do. I hope your work only grows at KPFA and elsewhere.

In solidarity,

F.

I too listened to your short-wave radio shows here in Nicaragua. No advertising! that was nice. And no agenda, just relevant news, and from people with independent minds and power of discernment. What a surprise from USA where we hear only the same christian chiches and government propaganda repeated over and over every day. You folks are great. Hope you do more short wave programs soon.

Your art is inspiring. The SW radio shows we heard here in Nicaragua were the best listening we've ever enjoyed at the Earthgardens. The mainstream media is no longer credible and long obsolete, it's refreshing to hear the truth told.
May you thrive and multiply.
We invite teachers of your mindset to volunteer with the earthgarden kids here. (riverprincess.tripod.com)
