Enablers of Empire
Tariq Ali
Every imperial system needs a specialized class of collaborators and informants. As Edward Said pointed out, a group of scholars and cultural workers gave gravitas and legitimacy to European conquests of centuries past. They were the instruments and the enablers of empire. Knowledge and power intersected with the former subordinated to the latter. Today, with […]

CIA: Deadly Deceits
Ralph McGehee
In this lecture, Ralph McGehee states, “The CIA is not now, nor has it ever been, a central intelligence agency. It is the covert action arm of the President’s foreign policy advisers. In that capacity, it overthrows or supports foreign governments while reporting ‘intelligence’ justifying those activities. It shapes its intelligence to support presidential policy. […]
Sovereignty, Racism and Human Rights: The Case for Indian Self-Determination
Robert Williams
The history of native peoples in this hemisphere after the arrival of European settlers is one of catastrophe and genocide.

Parvaiz Bukhari
The 17th century Mughal Emperor Jahangir upon seeing the spectacular beauty of Kashmir said, “If there is paradise on earth, It is this, it is this, it is this.” Today, Kashmir is reduced to a veritable hell on earth. It has the dubious distinction of being the most militarized zone in the world. A rebellion […]
Indian Realities: Poetry and Viewpoints
John Trudell
Out of the thousands of FBI documents on John Trudell, the Bureau said this: “Trudell is an intelligent individual and eloquent speaker who has the ability to stimulate people into action. He has the ability to meet with a group of pacifists and in a short time have them yelling and screaming ‘Right on!’ In […]
Democracy & the Global Economy
Vandana Shiva
The media’s attention is on terrorism. Yet, in the background are other critical issues. Perhaps none so important as to what is happening to the global economy. The mantra of free trade and open markets has widened the gap between rich and poor nations. Level playing fields don’t seem very level to the have-nots. Democracy […]
