Understanding Ourselves
Noam Chomsky

U.S. Interventions: A History of Excuses
Michael Parenti
U.S. intervention. Michael Parenti states, “A lot of people don’t know that there is such a thing. i.e. “the forceful violent intervening in the affairs of other countries. The U.S. has been the greatest interventionist force in the post-war era.” Washington has backed “some of the most notorious military autocracies in history;” “Over the last […]
Native American Women & Environmental Struggles
Winona LaDuke
Native American women are in the frontlines of numerous struggles to protect and save the environment. Indian reservations are the sites of much environmental degradation. Native American women lead resistance to mining operations, clearcutting, dam projects and toxic and nuclear waste dumps.

Overcoming Obstacles
Howard Zinn
In a time of war, imperialism and official lying it’s hard to be optimistic. The monopolistic media function as a weapon of mass distraction. They say, Don’t fret about affairs of state. Turn to the sports pages or worry about clothes or whether Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will be happy. Public apathy about serious […]

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.

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 […]
On Gandhi
Vandana Shiva
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, dubbed the Mahatma, great soul, was born on October 2, 1869. After training as a lawyer in England, Gandhi went to South Africa. It was there his emergent philosophy began to take shape. Returning to India in 1915 he fairly quickly becomes the most prominent leader in the country’s struggle to oust […]
Talking About Rape
Sohaila Abdulali
Rape. From Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein to Wall Street financier Jeffrey Epstein to NFL star Antonio Brown, this ancient crime is in the news. The #MeToo movement has enabled many women to tell their stories for the first time. Who can forget Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony under oath at the Brett Kavanaugh hearings? Forever, women […]
