2001 Z Media Institute Seminar
Noam Chomsky
Chomsky’s latest foray at the Z Media Institute 2001. His almost usual off-the-cuff tour de force. Two seminars and a lecture covering such topics as terrorism – theirs and ours, human rights and relativism, democracy and transparency, Kyoto protocol, Al-Aqsa intifada, war criminals, Bob Kerrey, Vietnam, Kosovo, Colombia, Turkey, threats of war, militarization of space, […]
Reel Bad Arabs
Jack Shaheen
Hollywood is good at stereotypes. Simple struggles of good versus evil, heroes against villains, can be a safe bet for box office success. Those stereotypes can have a strong impact in the real world. Film is a powerful force for shaping our imagination and our perception of reality. For decades, one of Hollywood’s favorite villains […]
The Human Face of the Global Economy
Charlie Kernaghan
When you go down to your nearest mall and shop for clothes, you are looking for the best price. If you can get a name brand, all the better. Few consider who makes that shirt, sweater or pair of jeans or sneakers. Evidence has mounted in the past few years that much of the clothing […]
Cable News Confidential
Jeff Cohen
The advent of CNN, the first 24/7 news channel in 1980, was hailed as a revolutionary development in media. It was soon to be followed by others. The results have not been encouraging. Most of the so-called news consists of fluff pieces on celebrity deaths, divorces, marriages, adoptions, babies, affairs and kidnappings. Recall Fox’s Geraldo […]

That raises the question: What are soldiers to do when faced with orders they know to be against international law and basic morality? Today, reports of U.S. troops refusing orders, of active duty soldiers refusing deployment and speaking out […]
History & Politics
Howard Zinn
Howard Zinn says in this classic program, “I’m going to argue there is no conflict between historical honesty and a passionate belief that the world should be changed, that people should be equal, that war should be abolished. In fact, that particular scholarship is meaningless unless in some way it advances the human race in […]
Sea Shepherds
Paul Watson
They fire chocolate pies and stink bombs from cannons. They also sink docked ships. They’ve dismantled the illegal Icelandic whaling industry and have been attacked by the Norwegian Navy. Governments and the corporate media call them terrorists, but these activists call themselves the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Their sole mission is to defend marine wildlife.The […]
Testimonies from Iraq War Veterans
Winter Soldier
The Winter Soldier investigation originally took place in Detroit in 1971. Vietnam War veterans testified about war crimes they had committed or witnessed. In 2003 the United States invaded Iraq on false pretenses. Not one of the many allegations to justify the attack was true. In an endless war and occupation no one has been […]
Democracy & the Right to Know
Noam Chomsky
Iraq Under Siege
Howard Zinn, Anthony Arnove
Iraq is under siege. A decade-long sanctions regime has caused massive suffering and hundreds of thousands of deaths. While Saddam Hussein and his cohorts live in luxury, the once-burgeoning middle class is wiped out. In addition, U.S & U.K. planes routinely bomb the country. An international movement is calling for the lifting of sanctions. Recorded […]
