is abby martin dot org a b b b y m a r t i and

dot org welcome to the program abi it's great to have you how how dare you speak your

mind and then put it out all over the place it's an absolute pleasure to be on

coast to coast i can't tell you how many late nights i had driving throughout the country

listening to the program so thank you so much for the time.

Well, you know, a lot of people out there like Coast because of the paranormal stuff, you know, spooks and

ghosts and so forth, but generally I deal with the spooks that are with the security services and

those who have gone ghost and maybe even rogue. So I understand you got cross with, you got cross with Rand Paul asking him a question.

You know, people tell me all the time, you know, you're a right-wing lunatic, or you're a left-wing

wacko, or you're a Zionist, or you're a Nazi.

I mean, it just depends on what mood they're in, some of them.

Yeah, we like these divisive labels, you know, to trap us mentally, to prevent us from really talking about the issues.

Well, simplifying people with the labels also simplifies the conversation, and sometimes simple just doesn't get it, don't you find?

Yeah, exactly.

So what happened with you?

We have a little bit.

We talk about Rand Paul.

I love to.

You know, when I first moved to D.C., I had no idea the way that things operated here.

I thought that you could just ask politicians that we pay for with our tax dollars

questions that, you know, their constituents wanted to know the answers to.

And I found out really quickly that that's not the way D.C. operates at all.
