Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace
Gore Vidal
Politicians in Washington of all stripes, whatever the occasion, love to quote the Founding Fathers. But there’s one quote you’ll never hear. It’s from James Madison. He said, “Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is […]
Gandhi, Nonviolence & Iran
Ramin Jahanbegloo
Born in Gujarat in western India in 1869, Gandhi’s life journey was phenomenal by any standard. He went from a suited-booted English trained barrister to the Mahatma, one of the 20th century’s most extraordinary figures. He challenged the mighty British Empire not with guns but with civil disobedience and nonviolence. Today his name is ritually invoked […]

Imperialism: Then & Now
Tariq Ali
Joseph Schumpeter in a 1919 essay entitled “The Sociology of Imperialisms,” wrote, “There was no corner of the world where some interest was not alleged to be in danger or under actual attack. If the interests were not Roman, they were of Rome’s allies, and if Rome had no allies, then allies would be invented. […]
Capitalism and the Environment
Chris Williams
James Hansen, one of the leading scientific authorities on global warming, warns: “Planet Earth, creation, the world in which civilization developed, the world with climate patterns that we know and stable shorelines, is in imminent peril. The startling conclusion is that continued exploitation of all fossil fuels on Earth threatens not only the other millions […]
Wars, Bailouts & Elections
Noam Chomsky
In the economic meltdown the term “in history” is routine. E.g., the biggest bailout in history, the largest bank failure in history, the greatest corporate collapse in history, and the stock market’s worst week in history. There are more in histories on the horizon because the fundamental issue is not being addressed. The so-called free […]

Abolition Democracy
Angela Davis
In American history the abolitionists fought to end slavery, lynching, and segregation. In our current times, one of the greatest challenges in the work to dismantle such repressive institutions is racism, morphed and hidden within all levels of governmental structures. The U.S. now has the largest prison population in the world. 70% of its more […]
Sexual Violence
Victoria Banyard
Sexual violence occurs from New York to New Delhi and from Denver to Durban. It wasn’t that long ago when even mentioning the subject was taboo. The stigma and shame were overwhelming. Help lines, counseling and rape crisis centers did not exist. In some countries, legal and cultural changes have made reporting easier. But in […]

Noam Chomsky

War & Civil Disobedience
Howard Zinn
What are citizens to do when confronted by unjust laws and when their government commits crimes? Henry David Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela all advocated and practiced civil disobedience. This was not just some opportunistic temporary tactic. Non-violent civil disobedience was a deeply held moral position. Thoreau in his classic […]
