Debunking Conspiracy Theories
Chip Berlet
Theories are unproven assertions. If empirical evidence is presented then the theory moves to fact. In another realm, allegations are not subject to rigorous examination. There is a strain of thought that embraces beliefs ranging from UFOs in Roswell to who killed JFK to black helicopters. These theories take on an almost theological conviction. If […]
Myths, Empire and the Middle East
Richard Becker
The great historian Howard Zinn always reminded us of the importance of knowing history, not the imagined and fabricated past but what actually happened. Without that knowledge we are putty in the hands of manipulators and prevaricators. Powerful states have incentives to invent history and they have varied instruments at their disposal to achieve their […]

Maude Barlow, Vandana Shiva, Tony Clarke
Water is essential to all life forms on this planet. It is a very finite and precious substance. As the human population explodes and ecosystems are destroyed, water sources are being contaminated and used beyond their capacities to be replenished. At current rates, the demand for fresh water will exceed supplies by over 50% in […]
Imperial Hubris
Tariq Ali
From ancient times, hubris, the Greek word for reckless arrogance, has brought down princes, kings and empires. It is the fatal flaw that undid Achilles. As Homer describes in The Iliad, had Achilles treated Hector, the fallen Trojan hero, with respect, the wrath of the gods would not have turned on him. Uphold the rule […]
The Question of Palestine
Edward Said
In this clear and concise lecture, Edward Said outlines the historical dimension of the “Question of Palestine” and its human component. He focusses on why Palestinian concerns have been ignored or belittled and how collectively Palestinians have been reduced to “terrorists.” Prof. Said is impassioned and his arguments are lucid and cogent. A valuable and […]
Debate on Humanitarian Intervention
Michael Chertoff, David Gibbs
Humanitarian intervention is always cloaked in altruism. Noam Chomsky says, “Almost every aggressive act by any great power is justified on humanitarian grounds.” Helping people who are suffering is laudable but injecting military force can lead to even worse outcomes. Libya is a perfect example of what can go wrong. The specter of atrocities was […]
