## Resource

In this edition of Scheer Intelligence , Robert Scheer sits down with journalist and filmmaker Abby Martin to unpack her blistering new documentary, Earth’s Greatest Enemy —a film that argues, with devastating clarity, that the U.S. military is the single largest institutional driver of climate destruction on the planet. Martin walks Scheer through the years‑long battle to make and distribute a documentary that Hollywood wouldn’t touch, exposes the Pentagon’s grip on media narratives, and traces how bipartisan militarism—under Democrats and Republicans alike—has locked the world into a self‑perpetuating cycle of war, extraction, and ecological collapse. What emerges is a sweeping indictment of empire at the precise moment when the planet can least afford it, and a call to recognize the shared human cost borne by soldiers, civilians, and the environment itself.
