There’s a powerful new documentary out called Earth’s Greatest Enemy by @AbbyMartin about the ecocidal abuses of the US war machine, and it addresses the most pressing existential hurdles we face as a species like nothing I’ve seen before.
The film breaks down how the US military has become the single most environmentally destructive institution on our planet by an extremely massive margin, walking the audience through the many ways the Pentagon and its global metastases have been churning out carbon emissions, pouring toxins into the air and water, wiping out precious ecosystems for gratuitous military bases, and pummeling our sea life with sonar and noise pollution, all while gleefully salivating at the prospect of plundering the resources which lay hidden beneath our planet’s rapidly thawing polar ice caps.
Martin skillfully ties the planet-devouring behavior of the US military to the global systems of capitalism and imperialism it was built to uphold. The viewer is left with a crystal clear picture of the ways ecocide, militarism and capitalism are inseparably intertwined, and an understanding that meaningfully opposing any of these malignancies necessarily entails opposing them all. The liberal fiction that one can be pro-environment while also supporting the US military is forcefully exposed for the absurdity that it is.
It’s a jarring film with extremely dark subject matter, but it also manages to be a work of transcendent beauty and optimism. A deep love of humans and all of earth’s creatures shines through in shot after shot, while slick editing and an inspired soundtrack allow the movie to zip along at a lively and entertaining pace. Martin concludes with a galvanizing call to use our outrage to loosen the empire’s already weakening grip on humanity’s collective consciousness, because our entire world depends on it.
Perhaps the most touching aspect of the documentary is the personal element Martin chose to bring in to her overarching narrative. She discusses how she and her husband (antiwar activist Mike Prysner, who co-directed the film) had their lives forever altered when they had kids and experienced a new level of urgency to help give rise to a brighter future. Their family of four becomes a microcosm of humanity’s struggle to liberate itself from the tyranny of the machine to create a better world for our children, and we see Martin’s love for her son and daughter reflected in a great tenderness for the world as a whole.
Anyway, I’ve never felt inclined to write a film review before so I don’t know if I’ve done a good job of encouraging people to watch this thing, but for my own audience I truly cannot recommend Earth’s Greatest Enemy enough. It’s available streaming on Apple TV, Prime Video, and Watermelon Pictures. Screening tour dates and further information can be found on the Earth’s Greatest Enemy website. Be sure to leave a review on Letterboxed or IMDB if you can.
Enjoy!
Neil Oliver describes world leaders as irrelevant puppets controlled by faceless elites operating behind the scenes.
He argues that maintaining a permanent state of anxiety among the public—through higher taxes and engineered social conflict—is a deliberate tactic to facilitate manipulation, division and control.
“Rep. Thomas Massie is one of the co-sponsors of a new resolution aimed at compelling House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to sue the Trump administration over allegations the president is violating federal law with the U.S. conflict in the Middle East.”

I spent 50 years warning people where this ends.
Washington DC didn't listen.
I'm not writing for them anymore. I'm writing for those who come next.
It's called "Dispatches To Future Generations."
It's free, with a Gold IRA Info Kit from my sponsor Birch Gold Group.

The Mother Became The Target
Genevie Esquivel said she fled abuse and feared for her child. Ventura County responded with surveillance, sealed warrants, armed officers, and a felony prosecution. They found Mom. Did they ever seriously investigate the danger she reported? #FamilyCourt #VenturaCounty #ChildSafety https://t.co/33hhafvBk8
If @RealCandaceO hadn't come to Russia, and if her visit wasnt such a success-
Low IQ @LauraLoomer would never had crawled to Kiev to cosy up with the Nazi adoring Dictator and his crime syndicate.
It proves one thing. Just how low Zelensky will scrape, hes desperate.
The clips of Lindsey Graham show what a dark, deranged psychopath and insatiable warmonger he was: cackling over massive death and destruction. He devoted his life to craving wars.
Graham claimed Trump is similar: gets "jacked" from war because he "loves blowing stuff up."
Roger Waters to Rick Sanchez: "For an Englishman who lives on a tiny almost irrelevant island, to hear EU rattling sabers about spending 5% of GDP to rearm the Germans is effing insane."
Same from here, Mr Waters, and always a pleasure to have you on.
The one federal agency no one has even tried to reform is also the most powerful: CIA. Jim Erdman just resigned after a long career as an operations officer. He says the agency is completely out of control and dangerous.

🇷🇺 While leaving after the Navy Day parade in St. Petersburg, President Putin stopped and walked to the crowd.
Everyone was surprised and praised him while he shook hands with the crowd.
Can Zelensky do this in Odessa? A random street in Lvov? Not even Kiev he would dare.
🇪🇸 Meanwhile in Costa Brava, Spain
Both Spain & France are on fire like never before right now.
44 people wanted for Arson in France, 16 in Spain - this is coordinated & deliberate.
Marlon West was suspended as a nurse for speaking out about the rape of his daughter.
As Restore Britain Greater Manchester Mayor, @MarlonTag will go to war with the Pakistani Muslim rape gangs operating across the region.
No apologies, no compromise, no mercy.
They are all fucking in on the scam. How the fuck is working in a dairy worthy of importing fucking Indians for.
Every fucking time it's an Indian, turning our country into a 3rd world shithole.
Even the Indian scammer got scammed by immigrant Indians. All rotten.
Who paid @LauraLoomer?
Ukrainian oligarch Akhmetov.
In 2024 he bought the most expensive real estate in human history - apartments in Monaco for $550,000,000.
In 2024, his company DTEK, promoted by Laura, received from U.S. and EU taxpayers a wartime AID $112,000,000 .
Thanks to US and EU taxpayers for helping buy the most expensive real estate in history.
He also keeps a $650,000,000 million yacht in Monaco.
In 2019, he bought the world’s most expensive house (per Bloomberg) for $350,000,000 - Freanch riviera villa les Cedres.
In 2011, he bought the world’s most expensive penthouse for $250,000,000 in London.
Akhmetov comes from a small village near Donetsk.
How did he get his billions?
All ukrainian media shared it as in the 1990s he led a gang that murdered businessmen and politicians, seizing the best Soviet assets worth tens of billions.
He controlled 30% of Ukraine’s GDP through corruption and racketeering, then moved the money abroad.
DTEK is his energy company that received aid from European and American taxpayers - while Akhmetov himself makes billions and lives like a king.
Laura won’t tell you this. Akhmetov pays well.
Whenever the apt analogy is drawn between South African Apartheid and Israeli Apartheid, cynics and doubters ask: If so, where is the Palestinian Nelson Mandela?
The answer is: Languishing in prison, tortured and menaced around the clock by prison guards for 24 endless years. His name? Marwan Barghouti.
The man who can unite Palestinians. A shining bright hope for both Palestinians and Israelis who want an end to genocide, to apartheid, to ethnic cleansing, to violence. That’s why Marwan Barghouti keeps languishing in a dismal, inhuman Israeli prison.
Will you join me in joining TEAM FREE MARWAN?
An ICC arrest warrant bears your name for war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the use of starvation as a weapon. Named at the ICJ for genocide. A fugitive from international justice.
Enjoy nothing, Mr. Genocide.
