The Dream of Revolution
Robin D. G. Kelley
In some ways, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered twice. First by an assassin’s bullet in Memphis and then by killing his revolutionary message. Today, King is largely remembered with special holiday sales. His vision of radical revolution muted. He posed a special threat to the power structure. It was one thing to demand […]
Media Framing of Cultural Destruction: Artsakh & Gaza
Mischa Geracoulis
Artsakh, also known as Nagorno-Karabakh, is a historic Armenian area located in the Caucasus Mountains. In 2023, Azerbaijan invaded and ethnically cleansed the millennial-old Armenian population. The so-called civilized West looked the other way. Looking away has been harder to do in Gaza because of the enormity of the Israeli attack and the sheer scale […]
War Crimes & Imperial Fantasies
Noam Chomsky
When official enemies commit crimes, they must be punished. That is an unquestioned staple of public discourse. Occasionally, as in the torture and killing of prisoners in Cuba, Iraq and Afghanistan, a few bad apples tarnish the reputation of the United States but the doctrine of our basic goodness prevails. In an underreported revelation, recently […]
Cracks in the Empire
Tariq Ali
When the British occupied Iraq after World War I, they were not greeted with celebrations. A revolt began almost immediately. It was brutally suppressed. Shaken by the uprising, Lord Curzon, the Foreign Secretary came up with a plan to run Iraq. He said we must create an “Arab facade ruled and administrated under British guidance […]

Democracy & U.S. Foreign Policy
Noam Chomsky
CIA Director Porter Goss warned Congress that “Islamic extremists are exploiting” the Iraq war “to recruit new jihadists.” Those who survived the war, he said, were likely to leave Iraq “experienced and focused on acts of urban terrorism.” And that it would “only be a matter of time before Al Qaeda” uses weapons of mass […]

Apocalypse Now: Christian Fundamentalism
Chip Berlet
Fundamentalist preachers and doctrines have for long been part of the American landscape. In recent years, starting with Billy Graham, they have moved prominently into the political arena with bromides and nostrums on domestic and foreign policy. Take Pastor John Hagee, a Texas-based evangelical. He broadcasts on radio and TV and has reportedly millions of […]
Thinking Outside the Box
Helena Norberg-Hodge
The current economic system, with its almost total disregard for nature, is steamrolling both people and the planet. Profits uber alles inevitably will lead to social and ecological breakdowns. Bold, innovative ideas are needed to repair and nurture the earth. The traditional path of growth for growth’s sake and conventional notions of development require urgent […]
The Washington Rules
Andrew Bacevich
When it comes to formulating foreign policy, particularly since the end of World War II, from Truman to Reagan to Obama, it hasn’t mattered much who is in the White House. There is a virtual catechism of Washington Rules which produce permanent war. Institutionalized militarism is built into the structures of power. And the warfare […]
