INN 1-on-1

Indie speaks with Assange Activists Halo Benson and her daughter, Aspen Martin, about a devastating legal crisis. Aspen, an autistic woman with no prior record, is facing federal drug trafficking charges carrying a 33-year mandatory minimum after being an unknowing passenger in an RV. The driver admitted she was innocent, but Georgia's "party law" led to her arrest. The family details the betrayal by a trusted friend, horrific jail conditions, and the urgent need for a legal defense fund. This conversation highlights a terrifying flaw in the justice system and the vulnerability of neurodivergent individuals.

In another EXCLUSIVE 1-on-1 conversation, independent journalist Dissent in Bloom joins Indie. She details harrowing findings on Trump’s immigration crackdown, including inhumane conditions at "Alligator Auschwitz" - where detainees face 24/7 lighting & stifling heat, they’re required to be silent all the time & have no access to legal counsel. She talks about ICE’s collaboration with police in deadly raids like the one resulting in Jaime Alanis’s death during a paramilitary-style operation on a California farm, which led to zero prosecutions. The conversation also uncovers election integrity threats: Jack Cobb’s uncertified lab (Pro V&V) rubber-stamped voting machines while the EAC retroactively covered for the lapses. Dissent ties dark money influencers like Leonard Leo ($1.6B) and Peter Thiel to Project 2025’s authoritarian blueprint. Key revelations include: 103 immigration judges fired by Trump, creating backlogs. Facial recognition/biometric databases funded in the Big Beautiful Bill passed July 4. Palantir’s role in immigrant-tracking systems. Private prisons (e.g., GeoGroup) profit from $175/day detainees.

A must-listen on how private interests control U.S. elections. In an EXCLUSIVE 1-on-1 conversation, independent journalist Dissent in Bloom joins Indie for a deep dive into US election integrity failures. She reveals how voting machine certification labs like Pro V&V—led by controversial figure Jack Cobb—operate with minimal oversight and alarming conflicts of interest. Dissent details Cobb's sordid history of rubber-stamping uncertified machines, Cobb’s Huntsville lab's proximity to defense contractors, and misclassifying critical software vulnerabilities (like ECO 1188) as “de minimis” - when they clearly were impactful - in the lead up to the 2024 US election. They also dissect systemic duopoly manipulation, Trump's 2020 election overturning attempts, and the DNC’s rigged primaries. “I write about dark money, technocracy, government corruption, immigrants being disappeared, abuse by authorities and the elites, historical patterns they don’t want you to recognize, and more stories designed to stay buried - until now.” - Dissent in Bloom Indie News Network operates on a “Value for Value system.” We don’t paywall any of our content, but we do need - and deeply appreciate - your support in order to keep running, and one way to do that is with a monthly subscription here, if you feel you get value out of the shows & articles and can spare a few bucks a month.

Matt Weinglass, founder of "The Homeless Left," details his shift from Hollywood filmmaker to independent media after disillusionment with industry censorship during COVID and suppression of anti-war/anti-genocide voices. He discusses production challenges in competing with corporate media and critiques astroturfed LA protests funded by elites like the Waltons, linking ICE raids to Palantir's surveillance contracts. The conversation exposes bipartisan corruption, Zionist influence in Hollywood, and the failure of movements like "No Kings Day" to address systemic issues. Matt warns of impending false flags (e.g., bioterrorism around July 4th per Dr. David Martin) and emphasizes unifying left-right populism on medical freedom and anti-imperialism. Key takeaway: Manufactured narratives distract from elite capture while independent media must innovate to sustain audience engagement amid escalating authoritarianism.

Journalist Golden Monarch joins Indie to dissect Bitcoin's rise as a tool for political manipulation and wealth extraction. They expose connections between crypto evangelists (Michael Saylor, Brock Pierce, Max Keiser) and Zionism, highlighting how Bitcoin fuels authoritarian regimes like El Salvador's Bukele—funded by crypto profits to build prisons like CECOT. The conversation critiques Trump's pro-crypto agenda, RFK Jr.'s grift, and corporate adoption (e.g., Steak 'n Shake's tax-risky Bitcoin payments). Monarch reveals crypto's environmental toll, Puerto Rican exploitation, and kidnapping cases targeting entrepreneurs in France/NYC. They debunk decentralization myths, emphasizing blockchain's energy waste, whale-driven volatility, and its role in widening wealth inequality. The duo warns of a controlled transition toward CBDCs, framing crypto as a Ponzi scheme benefiting elites while destabilizing societies.

Listen to The Dissident EXCLUSIVELY on INN as he sits down for another follow up conversation with our co-founder, Indie about the articles he’s written recently. Indie and The Dissident dissect Israel’s systematic media manipulation tactics, including the Elias Rodriguez attack as a potential distraction psyop from IDF shooting at diplomats in the West Bank. They trace Netanyahu’s decades-long strategy of sabotaging peace (Oslo Accords, Clean Break document) and enabling genocide in Gaza through starvation blockades and fabricated narratives. Barri Weiss’s "Free Press" is exposed as an AIPAC-linked propaganda outlet that smears critics, whitewashes war crimes, and endangers journalists—citing cases where Weiss’s lies directly preceded IDF killings of Palestinian reporters like Refaat Al-Areer. The conversation also covers Israel’s suppression of Gaza coverage (200+ journalists killed), weaponization of "anti-Semitism" accusations to silence dissent (e.g., Corbyn smear campaigns), and global crackdowns on pro-Palestine voices (e.g., Yves Engler’s arrest, UK terrorism charges). Both condemn Western complicity and warn of escalating censorship. Key Themes: Israel’s narrative control via timed events & atrocity propaganda Netanyahu’s role in sabotaging peace & enabling genocide Weiss’s "Free Press" as AIPAC propaganda with lethal consequences Targeting/journalist killings in Gaza & global censorship Call to preserve independent media amid financial deplatforming risks The Dissident is: ⭐ an INN co-founder ⭐ Publisher, The Dissident newsletter ⭐ Leftists News on Twitter (X) https://x.com/@leftist_news12 Indie is: Founder, IndieNews Network (INN) Publisher, IndieMediaToday.com & INNnewsletter.com co-host & livestream engineer of multiple shows ⭐ How Did We Miss That ⭐ Boats Smashing Into Other Boats ⭐ American Tradition with Jesse Jett ⭐ Creator of the Indie Media Awards @IndieMediaAward Indies Newsletter: https://www.indiemediatoday.com The Dissident Newsletter: https://the307.substack.com INNs Newsletter: https://www.innnewsletter.com/ #SupportIndependentMedia #news #analysis #JournalismIsNotACrime Indie News Network is a family of independent content creators who challenge narratives.
