Whither Pakistan?
Pervez Hoodbhoy
Reports of Pakistan’s impending collapse are frequent. It helps to know a little history. After Benazir Bhutto’s assassination in 2007 there was a wave of tributes. A lot was left out. She was dismissed twice as prime minister for corruption. Her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, was at the center of scandals and went to jail. […]
Health Care Reform
Steffie Woolhandler
Discussions around health care reform at times border on the hysterical. Relentless misrepresentations and lies are the keys to successful propaganda. Stoked by talk show hosts and politicians, there are wild allegations about death panels and killing granny. Why is there so much anger and fear around health care? In times of bankruptcies, foreclosures and […]
Manufacturing Consent
Noam Chomsky
The media like to present themselves as objective, balanced and free from any bias or agenda. Reality suggests something quite different. The media function as weapons of mass distraction. Much of what passes as news is, sometimes subtle, sometimes crude, propaganda. The media are large conglomerates that serve to mobilize support for the special interests […]
Betraying Nature
David Suzuki
Our planet and its people are in peril. Diminishing fresh water supplies, destruction of forests, polluted air, species extinction at an unparalleled rate, and a toxic petrochemical environment are all clear signals that things are going seriously haywire. And climate change, the impacts of which are already evidenced at an accelerating pace, threatens environmental devastation […]
The Politics of Health Care
Ralph Nader
More than six decades after President Franklin D. Roosevelt articulated “the right to adequate medical care and opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health,” the United States, virtually alone among wealthy nations, does not have universal health care coverage. The health care system is sick, failing, expensive, and inefficient. Its attendant paperwork and mumbo jumbo […]
Money or Life?
David Korten
“They strutted up and down the avenue, throwing out their chests and bidding the world stand to one side. They were 100 percent American big businessmen who took back talk from nobody. Now they take a handout wherever they can get it. Billions will be ladled into the mouths of these very individualistic big businessmen […]
Climate Change: Tipping Point
Bill McKibben
Glaciers are retreating at a rapid rate. Within just a few years there will be no more snows on Kilimanjaro. Glaciers in the Andes, the Rockies, and the Himalayas are all shrinking. The polar ice shelves are fracturing. Sea level is rising. The permafrost is melting. Millions of people worldwide are at risk. A major […]
The Hypocrisies of Capitalism
Michael Parenti
Newsweek’s cover declares, “We are All Socialists Now.” Some people have a different take on it. Paul Krugman, commenting on the bailout of banks and the giant insurance company AIG, says it’s a classic example of what he calls “lemon socialism,” that is, taxpayers bear the cost if things go wrong, but stockholders and executives get […]
The Body Toxic
Nena Baker
More than 4 decades ago Rachel Carson, in “Silent Spring,” first warned that man-made chemicals were taking a deadly toll on birds and wildlife. Now we are recognizing that chemicals are effecting human sexual development and reproduction and can cause central nervous system diseases, cancer, and liver disease. Everyone is carrying a dizzying array of […]
Stuffed & Starved
Raj Patel
Stuffed and starved seems like such a paradox. There’s so much food. How can there be hunger and obesity? In supposedly the world’s wealthiest country, tens of millions of Americans are hungry. With the greatest economic collapse since the Great Depression those numbers will certainly increase. Issues of race and class are factors linking diet […]
Peak Water
Maude Barlow
In the last few years, the concept of peak oil has gained some traction. But peak water? Hardly at all. That most precious of all resources is in big trouble. We are running out of clean, drinkable water. Aquifers are being depleted at a rate that greatly exceeds their replenishment. Global warming is causing evaporation […]
On Gandhi
Vandana Shiva
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, dubbed the Mahatma, great soul, was born on October 2, 1869. After training as a lawyer in England, Gandhi went to South Africa. It was there his emergent philosophy began to take shape. Returning to India in 1915 he fairly quickly becomes the most prominent leader in the country’s struggle to oust […]
