From Empire to Earth Community
David Korten
From the beginning of the United States the prevailing ethic was not to accommodate but to dominate. Indians were called “merciless savages” in the Declaration of Independence. They would be wiped out in great numbers and their culture destroyed. Nature was seen as wild and warranted conquest. Patterns of overconsumption and environmental degradation continue today. […]
The Struggle for Democracy
Michael Parenti
Democracy is more than a set of political procedures culminating in elections. It has evolved over centuries and has many shapes and permutations. The conception and practice of democracy differ widely. Yet, everybody is for it. Pro-democracy movements are celebrated from China to Albania. However the system’s actual workings are often not clear. In a […]

The U.S. War on Iran: Origins & Consequences
Vali Nasr
On February 28th, Israel attacked Iran. Almost immediately, the U.S. joined the fray. The claims against Iran are eerily similar to those made against Iraq in 2003. Remember back then, Baghdad supposedly was a great danger. Today, it is Iran we are to fear. It’s an “imminent” threat we are told. No evidence is given. None […]
The Project for a New American Century
Zia Mian
A group of neo-conservatives dominate and drive the ideology of the Bush Administration. Often called, neo-cons, many of them were former Democrats who switched teams early in the Reagan era. They use words like robust and muscular to describe their vision of how the US should conduct itself in the world. With the collapse of […]

I Was a Pushcart Peddler, Ph.D.
Howard Zinn
2 CDs This is Howard Zinn at his best. His sense of humor is mixed with a sharp intellectual critique. He says: “There’s no free marketplace of ideas any more than there is a free marketplace of goods. People talk about the free market. There’s no such thing. Every market is dominated by those people […]
The Clean Energy Revolution
Bill McKibben
2024 was the hottest year ever recorded. 2025 will probably be even worse. Our planet is heating up. If present trends continue, a UN panel of scientists says it would be “disastrous for humankind.” Fossil fuels, including coal, are major contributors to global warming. So, what is the regime in Washington doing about it? It’s […]
Roots of Terrorism
George Galloway
Ever since September 11, the Bush administration and its corporate media allies have scrupulously denied the possibility that the terrorist attacks were motivated by anything other than hatred of America. Even a hint that terrorism could be connected to U.S. policy is immediately greeted by jingoists and their noise machine with howls of derision and […]

In his acceptance speech he said, “The crimes of […]
