The Rise of History’s Biggest Empire

“Empire Files” will document a world plagued by rampant inequality and endless war through rigorous investigative journalism.

This first episode of teleSUR’s new documentary-style investigative series, presented by Abby Martin, explores the US empire, its rise to world hegemony and its impact on people and the planet. Meanwhile, it examines the interlocking uses of war and capitalism as tools for the benefit of the few, at the grave expense of the many.

Future episodes of the “Empire Files” will cover local and global issues linked to the empire, its endless war on terror, and its disastrous impact on human and civil rights at home and abroad.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We still need to raise $14,000 to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
