The Legacy of Nuclear Weapons
Michio Kaku
The Cold War is over. The U.S. reigns supreme, yet it deploys 9,000 operational nuclear weapons.

Rachel Corrie, Solidarity & Palestine
Edward Said
A fiery and eloquent presentation to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee’s annual meeting.

All the established main media […]

Reflections on Exile
Edward Said, Christopher Hitchens
Corporate Designed Food
Maude Barlow, Chee Yoke Ling
The promise of “green revolutions” and “record harvests” is the justification for genetically modifying crops. A few giant global corporations dominate agriculture. They represent, according to Vandana Shiva, the noted Indian environmentalist, the latest form of imperialism. Agribusiness contends it just wants to feed hungry people. What’s on the plate of genetically engineered food? Wholesome, […]

William Greider
The global economic landscape is being radically transformed. Traditional boundaries disappear as huge transnational corporations move virtually at will in search of cheap labor and resources.
