U.S. and Cuba: Back to the Past
Peter Kornbluh
The island of Cuba has preoccupied Washington officials for decades. Prior to the 1959 Fidel Castro-led Revolution, Cuba was a virtual U.S. colony. It was also a mafia playground. The Revolution changed all of that. Cuba allied itself with the Soviet Union. Goaded by an influential lobby in Florida, the U.S. engaged in assassinations, invasion, […]

Betraying Nature
David Suzuki
Our planet and its people are in peril. Diminishing fresh water supplies, destruction of forests, polluted air, species extinction at an unparalleled rate, and a toxic petrochemical environment are all clear signals that things are going seriously haywire. And climate change, the impacts of which are already evidenced at an accelerating pace, threatens environmental devastation […]

Israel & Palestine: What’s Next?
Diana Buttu, Ilan Pappe
The decades-long one-sided Washington policy in favor of Israel reached new heights during the Trump regime. The peace process is a joke. The ever-expanding Jewish-only colonies, known euphemistically as settlements, have grown ever larger. The possibility of a sovereign, viable Palestinian state has dramatically receded. Yet, despite the occupation, the Palestinians practice, what is called […]

The RSS: Fascism in India
Arundhati Roy
The realities of India are in sharp contrast with the image it projects internationally. For example, you probably haven’t heard of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the RSS. It is an Indian right-wing, Hindu nationalist, paramilitary organization. The RSS, with its millions of members, exerts enormous influence and power in India. Its political party is the […]
Voodoo Economics
Michael Parenti
During the 1980 Republican presidential primaries, Bush the elder was running against Reagan. He derided Reagan’s pledge to cut taxes while hugely increasing the defense budget as “voodoo economics.” It was designed to line the pockets of the few at the expense of the many. Deficits exploded in the 1980s after tax rates were cut […]
Black Empowerment
Cornel West
Cornel West declares, “A specter of despair haunts America. Wealth inequality and class polarization are escalating. This bleak portrait is accentuated among African Americans. The fragile black middle class fights a white backlash. And the besieged black poor struggle to survive. Nearly thirty years after Dr. King’s murder, black America sits on the brink of […]
Resentment Politics
Richard Seymour
There is a class in this country that reeks of obscene wealth. From mansions in Beverly Hills and the Hamptons, they fly around in their private jets and sail the seas in their luxury yachts. Left behind are countless millions who are subjected to austerity programs and lectures about hard work. The rise, not just […]
Food: Listen to Grandma
Vandana Shiva
In response to the question, How do you activate people who say, ‘Well, you know, I’m not an expert on these issues. I don’t know what chemicals are involved. It’s all a bit too complicated for me.’ Vandana Shiva says, “As far as issues of food are concerned and toxics in food are concerned, people […]
Capitalism and Health
Stephen Bezruchka
Is health care a right or just another commodity, subject to market fluctuations, to be bought and sold? As long ago as 1944, FDR said that health care was a right. A few years later, Truman tried to advance a national health plan. He got nowhere. Our health care system is located in a political […]
