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 […]
GATT: The Hidden Agenda
Herbert Gunther
The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is the Geneva-based organization that sets international tariff and trade rules.

This program covers such key topics as the evolution of media in the U.S.; global economics; “big government,” the private sector and more.

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.

Inside the Media Monopoly
Ben Bagdikian

Beyond Star Wars: The Militarization of Space
Bruce Gagnon
Star Wars is back and it’s worse than ever. The Bush Administration is pushing to make space into an arena of war and the frontier for future multinational or rather multi-planetary corporations. National Missile Defense is a misnomer. The U.S. proposal is a provocative, aggressive program aimed at weaponizing space. U.S. military and government documents […]

Bill of Rights Bicentennial
Howard Zinn
The Bill of Rights has changed over time. Free speech is often limited to those who have money. There is only enough freedom to give people a sense of democracy. Prof. Zinn recounts his experience on the Today show. “The corporate media treat people as if they were born yesterday.” There is little history or […]
