Government Repression of the American Indian Movement
Ward Churchill
The reality of what occurred on the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation in the 1970s is not reflected in most contemporary histories of the United States.

Gunned Down: Kids Getting Killed
Gary Younge
After the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in December 2012, impending firearm control legislation led to panic buying of guns throughout the country. In 2016, the prospect of Hillary as president led to another rush to buy. Smith and Wesson stock prices soared. Remington Arms Company boosted production. Walmart gun sales went up. Incidents 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 […]
Targeting Iran
Noam Chomsky
Hypocrisy is criticizing others for behavior which one engages in as well, a double standard. Imperial powers of course take the cake when it comes to hypocrisy. Not content with its “mission accomplished” success in Iraq, the Bush administration is now aiming its guns at Iran. An original member of the “axis of evil,” Iran […]
The CIA & LSD: Acid Dreams
Martin Lee
During the Cold War in the early 1950s, the CIA experimented and developed LSD as a mind control espionage weapon.

Earth Democracy
Vandana Shiva
Advocates of corporate driven globalization are like the missionaries of old. Convinced of their righteousness, they are full of good intentions to save the world.

Apocalyptic Violence
Robert Jay Lifton
With no definition of victory in the war on terrorism, the U.S. may be entering a long period of perpetual war. The president invokes the name of God on a regular basis. Clearly, with such power on our side, how can we lose? Al-Qaeda and the Islamists are also certain that the almighty is in […]
Pirates of the Caribbean: Axis of Hope
Tariq Ali
Simon Bolivar, the great liberator of South America, prophetically said, “In the name of freedom, the United States of North America seem to have been destined by providence to plague America with miseries.” And so it has been. From the Monroe Doctrine in 1823 to the present the U.S. has routinely intervened in the internal […]
Gandhian Activism
Himanshu Kumar
The legacy of Mahatma Gandhi continues in various ways in India. Gandhi had his flaws but as George Orwell wrote: “compared with the other leading political figures of our time, how clean a smell he has managed to leave behind.” There are multiple struggles for justice and dignity going on all over India. A particularly […]
South America Rising
Noam Chomsky
From one end of the continent to the other, South America is rising. After centuries of colonial, semi-colonial rule and Monroe Doctrine U.S. gunboat diplomacy and coups, the erstwhile “banana republics” are saying, “Basta!” With Chavez in Venezuela and Morales in Bolivia taking the lead, they are being joined by Correa in Ecuador, and to […]
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 […]
