Rethinking Growth
Sunita Narain
In water-stressed India, women walk for miles to fetch water. A stunning illustration of the problem is in the Himalayas. Its millennia-old glaciers are the source of many of Asia’s great rivers. They are shrinking at such a rapid rate that in a quarter of a century they may disappear. The official response in India? […]
Contrary Notions
Michael Parenti
Much of what passes for political analysis in the media is a discussion of tactics. Deeply embedded ideas are never mentioned let alone questioned or challenged. Taking their cues from so-called Washington conventional wisdom, such notions as international law or the UN Charter are only applied to official enemies. If you have your eyes open […]
The Global Water Crisis
Maude Barlow
Water, water, everywhere. It looks that way. More than 2/3s of the earth’s surface is water but of that, only a tiny percentage is suitable for drinking. Underground water supplies, aquifers, the most abundant source of fresh water, are being depleted. It is predicted that two-thirds of the world’s population will not have enough drinking […]
Tibet: The Struggle for Freedom
Youdon Aukatsang
Tibet, the roof of the world, struggles for freedom against China. Tibet’s spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama fled his homeland in 1959 and lives in exile in India. The Nobel Laureate is noted for his espousal of non-violence. Nevertheless he is accused by the Chinese of being “a wolf in monk’s robes” plotting against Beijing […]
Anti-Arab Racism
Steven Salaita
Edward Said, the great Palestinian-American scholar commented that racism against Arabs is the last acceptable form of racism in the U.S. Arabs are constructed as the Other, dark and evil. There have been numerous Newsweek and Time magazine covers depicting angry, bearded Arabs, wearing a checkered kaffiyeh, and brandishing a weapon. Radio & TV talk […]
Iraq: The Forever War
Noam Chomsky
Imperial powers have historically cooked up great reasons to sell their wars to their people. The standard litany for aggression is self-defense, freedom, liberty and democracy. The attack on Iraq was not a mistake. It was a crime. And criminals should be brought to justice. But we don’t have anyone in the political system that […]
Iran: All Options on the Table
Scott Ritter
George W. Bush proclaimed, “The action and policies of the Government of Iran continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.” That was part of executive order Bush issued extending the national emergency with respect to Iran. The leaders in Washington and those […]
Brave New India: Uprisings
Arundhati Roy
India is hot. Its meteoric rise as an economic power with a growing number of millionaires and billionaires is a great success story. Not quite. Politically, India has gone from its Nehru-inspired non-alignment to aligning itself with Washington. Its priorities mirror its mentor’s. 19% of the country’s budget goes to the military while education gets […]
Israel, Iran & the US: Treacherous Alliance
Trita Parsi
You know the old saw, politics makes strange bedfellows. How about this one? Israel, Iran and the U.S. Yep, hard to believe but true. For many years the three acted in close cooperation. It’s a story that’s barely known. And for good reason. It is inconvenient. It’s like being reminded that the U.S. supported Saddam […]
Iraq: Beyond the Green Zone
Dahr Jamail
The Green Zone is a special highly privileged area in Baghdad. It is heavily fortified and surround by high blast-resistant walls. It has everything most Iraqis lack: a steady supply of clean drinking water, sanitation and sewage services, lots of gas and most important electricity. The U.S. is now building its largest embassy in the […]
The Corporate Takeover of Water
Deborah Kaufman, Alan Snitow
Remember Pete Seeger’s classic song, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” A new version of that may be “Where Has All the Water Gone?” Scientists have identified large areas of the planet as “hot stains,” that is regions of the earth running out of clean, drinkable water. Our most precious natural resource is imperiled. Rising […]
The Meaning of Freedom
Angela Davis
The idea of freedom is inspiring. But what does it mean? If you are free in a political sense but have no food, what’s that? The freedom to starve? Or if the candidates on the ballot are yoked to unjust power structures, what’s that? The freedom to vote? The colonies in Asia and Africa gained […]
