A Critique of the Christic Institute Case
Noam Chomsky, John Stockwell
Intifada 2000: The Palestinian Uprising
Edward Said
In September 2000 Palestinians launch an intifada, Arabic for “uprising.” Clashes erupt. The death toll rises. Overwhelmingly, the victims are Palestinian. What are the origins of the Palestinian revolt? Why has the highly praised peace process collapsed? Can the mainstream media in this country provide explanations? Not according to Edward Said. He says the media […]
Imperialism, War, and Journalism
John Pilger
“The first causality when war comes is truth,” warned Senator Hiram Johnson in 1917. Those words resonate strongly today. When the country goes to war, the corporate media are virtually cheerleaders. Journalists extol the noble virtues and intentions of U.S. state power. There’s a time-honored system of you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours. If […]
The Palestinian Perspective
Edward Said
On Palestine, Edward Said says, “Americans are ignorant of the facts.” Palestinians have been demonized and their concerns and realities have been either distorted or dismissed. They have been stereotyped as terrorists and fanatics. The American intellectual community has been virtually silent on Israeli human rights abuses and violations of international law in the occupied […]

The Cold War & the University
Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn
Recorded at Boston University this is one of those rare historic events bringing two giants together. Chomsky comments: “The public is not supposed to be involved in policy. That’s true in practice, and it’s even a principle you can read about in standard texts on American politics. For example, one written a couple of years […]
Big Brother Is Watching
Ward Churchill
From the 19th century Pinkertons to the 21st century FBI, the U.S. government has long worked to infilitrate and to disrupt progressive organizations. The techniques they’ve used to “neutralize” these groups range from surveillance to assassination. If things continue as they have, we will soon be living in the world George Orwell envisioned in his […]
Challenging the Duopoly
Ralph Nader
Voter turnout in the U.S. continues to plunge. The conventional explanation for the lack of interest is that the citizenry is apathetic. They’d rather be watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. A more radical analysis is that people are fed up with choices like Clinton-Dole or Gore-Bush. Many see them as guys in suits […]

Single Payer Health Care
Bernie Sanders
The health care debate is in full swing. The statistics are well known. Tens of millions of Americans have no coverage at all; many more have huge gaps in their benefits. The Clintons crisscross the country promoting their managed competition plan. Others offer varying counterproposals. One alternative is the Canadian model. Canada has a single […]
Privatizing War
Rania Masri
Naomi Klein, the noted Canadian journalist and author says, Iraq is open for business. She’s not kidding. Private contractors are making a killing. And the taxpayers are shelling out the bucks. A significant portion of the $18 billion budgeted for reconstruction in Iraq is going to such firms as Dyncorp, Blackwater and Northbridge who provide […]
