Afghanistan, bin Laden, and the Taliban
Nasim Zehra
In late December 1979, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. The United States in its goal to oust them cut Faustian bargains with individuals and groups that are now implicated in terrorist attacks. The CIA organized, equipped, and financed the Afghan resistance, the Mujahideen. They were lauded as “freedom fighters” by President Reagan. Among them was […]

Chhattisgarh: The Future of India?
Nandini Sundar
There are multiple insurgencies all over India. Noted writer and dissident intellectual Arundhati Roy says there is “a juggernaut of injustices” sparking revolt. Many of the struggles are taking place around the corporate exploitation of natural resources and the displacement of largely indigenous people who live in areas rich in minerals and timber. But there’s […]
Aid to the Nicaraguan Contras
Noam Chomsky, John Silber
from WGBH-TV
2001 Harvard Trade Union Program
Noam Chomsky
2 CDs The latest in a series recorded at the Harvard Trade Union Program. The ability of intellectuals and the propaganda system to avoid and miss crucial stories takes a tremendous amount of training and discipline. One cannot rise to the pinnacles of power and respectability in the academy or the media without mimicking the […]
Buried Mirror: Spain and the New World
Carlos Fuentes
Invasions & Evasions
Noam Chomsky
Chomsky talks about tinkerers vs. overhaulers. He says, “We should be in favor of both. Sometimes tinkering with the system can be of great help to people.” And addressing media reform, he says, “If you can induce the media to give a somewhat fairer treatment of significant issues, that’s all to the good. It doesn’t […]
Pakistan in Peril
Fatima Bhutto

The United States has supported military dictatorships in Pakistan. The current ruler, Pervez Musharraf, who seized power in a coup in 1999, is a […]
Pillar of Fire: Martin Luther King
Taylor Branch
Taylor Branch’s Pillar of Fire covers the epic years of 1963 to 1965 in the civil rights movement. It is the second volume of his trilogy. Parting the Waters, the first book, was honored with the Pulitzer Prize. At Canaan’s Edge is the final tome. Notwithstanding his personal foibles, which Branch confronts and details, Dr. Martin Luther King looms more […]
Orwellian Media
Norman Solomon
George Orwell, the author of 1984 and Animal Farm, wrote that “political speech is largely the defense of the indefensible and consists of euphemisms, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness.” Newspeak was the official language of 1984. It was designed, “to diminish the range of thought.” Today, the media saturate us with terms that would have […]
Visions of Freedom
Noam Chomsky
Recorded at the Visions of Freedom Conference Festival at Sydney University.
Origins of the Gulf War
Joel Beinin
Why is the U.S. at war with Iraq? What are the root causes of the conflict? Did U.S. policy possibly send mixed signals to Saddam Hussein? What are the long term U.S. goals in the region? These are some of the vital and provocative questions Joel Beinin addresses in the important program. Professor Beinin presents […]
