In 2015 Abby Martin launched The Empire Files with journalist and activist Michael Prysner.[4]

The Empire Files is hosted by teleSUR, which is funded by several Latin American governments, but is editorially independent. Martin said:

"The show is totally independent of teleSUR... We merely sell them the content; they have zero control over anything we do".

It was shut down by sanctions from the american government in 2018.[8]

MOATS interview

"I’m embarrassed to be an American."

On 5 March 2024, Abby Martin was interviewed by George Galloway on the Mother Of All Talk Shows and said: "I’m embarrassed to be an American."

She described Joe Biden as a genocider and a criminal, and the mainstream media as accomplices in Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Human shields in Gaza

Gaza Massacre: debunking Israel’s excuse

In May 2021, Abby Martin set out 5 points that evaporate Israel's assertion that the civilians it kills in Gaza were "human shields":

  • Israel has a history of lying about human shields;
  • By Israel's definition the IDF uses human shields too; and,
  • This is all a situation of Israel's design.[9]
