The Politics of Food
Vandana Shiva
Just a few years ago, Globalization was being hailed as the cure all for the world’s economic problems. There were cascades of platitudes about “level playing fields” and “a rising tide lifts all boats.” Prosperity for all was on the horizon. It hasn’t quite worked out that way. But it’s no surprise. The rich North […]
Israel, the U.S. & Mideast Policy
David Barsamian
U.S. policy in the Middle East has been predicated on control of oil and the maintenance of client states. Israel has been a crucial ally acting as a local gendarme. Threatening Iran with military attack has been a favorite playing card for both Washington and Tel Aviv. The threat of war is a clear violation […]
Q&A with Citizens Opposed to Fracking
Thomas Linzey
In this question and answer session, environmental attorney Thomas Linzey speaks with citizens of Fort Collins and surrounding Colorado communities who oppose hydraulic fracturing.

Environmental Justice
Maria López-Nuñez
Parts of the U.S. are an eco-disaster, a sacrifice zone. Take Newark, NJ. If you travel down a one-mile stretch of Doremus Avenue in Newark you pass a natural gas plant next to a sewage treatment facility next to an animal fat rendering plant next to a series of ominous-looking chemical storage containers behind acres […]

Gary Webb
Whether through malign intent or gross negligence, the CIA contributed to the drug problem in South Central Los Angeles in the mid-1980s. How could it happen? Accomplices include the House Intelligence Committee, the Justice Department and the Attorney General’s Office, which either passed the buck or ignored reports of illegal activity. National security is invoked […]

Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg
How many times have we come close to destroying the world? You don’t want to know. In this discussion, Noam Chomsky and Daniel Ellsberg review the disturbing historical record.

Is the Nakba Permanent?
Vijay Prashad
Nakba is Arabic for the 1948 catastrophe. where 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled and driven from their ancestral homes and lands. Today, 77 years later, the Nakba continues. This time, aided and abetted by the U.S., Israel declares it has “the most moral army in the world, which does everything to avoid harming non-combatants.” Watch […]
War Reporting
Robert Fisk
State-organized muzzling of the media began with the American invasion of Grenada in 1983, then came Panama in 1989. Two years later, by the time the First Gulf War came around, the White House and the Pentagon had an iron grip on the free press. What’s curious is that with few exceptions how willing the […]
