Culture, Language, Media & Meaning
Amiri Baraka
Culture is an area of conflict and contention. Supposedly top Nazi Hermann Goering once said, “Whenever I hear the word ‘culture’ I reach for my gun.” In the U.S. in recent decades there are cultural wars over books, movies, language and lifestyles. It’s the grist for many a radio and TV show. Listeners and viewers […]
Public Power in the Age of Empire
Arundhati Roy
The U.S. is the world’s greatest military power. Always projecting an image of reluctance and innocence, American presidents attack and intervene in the affairs of other countries. They routinely claim history, providence, destiny or some other abstraction has conferred certain obligations on Washington. The U.S. practices imperialism without formal colonies. Surrogates, often trained in the […]
A Journalist From Mars
Noam Chomsky
Introductions by FAIR, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, founder Jeff Cohen and TV talk show host Phil Donahue. In a great talk, Chomsky in his usual biting manner brings a Martian journalist to Earth to report on the war on terrorism. The results are both illuminating and humorous. The Martian notices a prevalent media convention. […]
Dateline: Beirut
Robert Fisk
The U.S. is burning a perilous path in the Middle East. The empire builders in Washington want control of the region’s oil and command of its strategic position. Two key countries are Lebanon and Iraq. And on the edge is Afghanistan. What’s really going on there? You won’t know much if you’re feeding at the […]
Palestine: The Iron Cage
Rashid Khalidi
How was Israel able to forge a state while the Palestinians have been unable to? A key element in establishing Israel was British colonial control of Palestine and the 1917 Balfour Declaration. In 1936-39 the Palestinians rose up in revolt against their British masters. Key cadres were killed and exiled. Thus crucially in the decisive […]
Remembering Eqbal Ahmad
Edward Said, Radha Kumar
Recorded at Hampshire College.
School of the Assassins
Father Roy Bourgeois
The U.S.-run School of the Americas, located at Fort Benning, Georgia, is a training academy for the Latin American military. In recent years, SOA has attracted large- scale demonstrations and arrests. What brings protesters? SOA has produced a string of death squad killers who specialize in the murder of non- combatants, including children, priests, nuns […]
Iran & U.S.: Deadly Embrace
David Barsamian
The U.S. assassination of Iran’s General Qassem Soleimani on January 2 has poured gasoline on a region already in flames. The Trump regime and its hardline supporters have been itching for a fight with Iran ever since the U.S. unilaterally pulled out of the nuclear deal in May 2018. It has imposed the harshest sanctions in history on […]
The Problem of the Media
Robert McChesney
Poor, black, and suffering Americans. These are the images that flashed across TV screens in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Reporters asked why there was no help for people who couldn’t afford to evacuate. And columnists wrote of a shocked and outraged America, an America which had finally discovered its own poverty and racism. For […]
Terrorism: No Easy Answers
Arundhati Roy
There are myriad types of terrorism. But the focus is highly selective. 200,000 Indian farmers killing themselves because of debt or 4,000 children dying every day around the world because of no access to clean water are not considered. Nor are massacres of Muslims in the Indian states of Gujarat and Maharashtra or of Sikhs […]
