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 […]
GI Resistance
Dahr Jamail
At Nuremberg the plea of, “I was just following orders” was not accepted by the tribunal. 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 […]
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 […]
Peace in the Middle East
Noam Chomsky
Recorded at the University of Wisconsin.
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 […]
The New Delhi Interviews
Arundhati Roy
Interviewed by David Barsamian.
Azadi! Freedom!
Sanjay Kak
“Azadi!”—Urdu for “Freedom!”—is the slogan of the freedom struggle in Kashmir against Indian occupation. Abroad, New Delhi promotes itself as the world’s largest democracy. At home, the picture is quite different. India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, the BJP, led by Narendra Modi, espouses Hindutva, Hindu nationalism. It promotes Islamophobia and stifles dissent. What it wants […]
War and Democracy
Howard Zinn
“Truth is the first casualty of war,” a wise politician once said. Since Vietnam, the U.S. has tightly controlled the flow of information to the public. Grenada, Panama, the Gulf War and Yugoslavia were carefully orchestrated Pentagon briefings with high-ranking officers in front of maps talking about smart bombs and hard targets. For most of […]
