Iraq to Iran: The Empire Attacks
Scott Ritter
Speculation is running rampant on what country will be the target of the next U.S. attack. Iran ranks high. It was an original member of the president’s “axis of evil.” Before going to Baghdad, the neocons used to say, “Real men go to Teheran.” Then there’s Syria of course. North Korea? Well maybe not. They […]
U.S. Human Rights Policy: Rhetoric & Practice
Noam Chomsky
December 10, 1998 marked the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is the seminal human rights document. The U.S. stresses human rights in its foreign policy; however, its application is selective. Abuses in, say, Saudi Arabia, are ignored, while those in Cuba are the focus of much attention. In […]
The Right-Wing Attack on Public Broadcasting
David Barsamian
Militias & the Shift to the Right
Barbara Ehrenreich
Recorded at the Z Media Institute’s annual gathering, this is Ehrenreich at her incisive best. She spoke on the heels of the Oklahoma City bombing.

The Battle for Saudi Arabia
As'ad AbuKhalil

Hundreds of princes and their hanger ons preside over a nation without a constitution. Patriarchy, misogyny, oppression, censorship, religious intolerance characterize this feudal regime. Since Saudi […]
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 […]
Old Wine, New Bottles
Noam Chomsky
Mexico: The Chiapas Uprising
Jonathan Fox
On New Year’s Day 1994, the Zapatista National Liberation Army launched a series of coordinated attacks on government facilities in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. The insurgents, largely indigenous, invoked the name and spirit of the revolutionary hero Emiliano Zapata and his slogan “Tierra y Libertad” (land and liberty). The uprising stunned the Clinton […]
The Attack on Women & Welfare
Mimi Abramovitz
The burden of welfare reform falls overwhelmingly on poor women of color, yet discussions in Washington, state capitals and in the media scrupulously avoid mentioning gender, race and class. The public is told that support for the needy is dangerous and corrupting and furthermore there is no money for such programs. The new welfare law […]
