Satirical Verses
Edward Dorn
Satire has long been a favorite device of artists seeking to subvert by making fun of those in power, be it church, state, king or landlord. If they are especially good at it, they can be banished, like cartoonist Thomas Nast, or novelist Salman Rushdie. But poetry has never wielded enough influence to bring down […]
Poetry & Politics
June Jordan
June Jordan knows well the burdens placed upon the children of immigrants. It’s part of what gave her the courage and conviction to observe the world with the unblinking eye of a reporter and relay what she experiences with the heart of a poet. Her highly political work is a deeply personal call for tolerance […]
The Palestinian Narrative
Edward Said
2 CDs Edward Said says, “It is imperative to see the Palestinian narrative if we are to arrive at a state that can roughly be described as peace.” He then criticizes the media for “a series of twisted ideological fictions designed not only to disguise but to obliterate reality.” On Palestine, liberals are guilty of […]
Environmental Racism in Hawaii and the Pacific Basin
Haunani-Kay Trask

Pathogens appear in our beef, chicken, lettuce, peppers, spinach, tomatoes, pistachios and peanuts. What’s next? The industrialized agribusiness model is fraying and is posing more and […]
Bailouts, Banks & Pyramids
Nomi Prins
We hear a lot about bulls and bears and the magic of the stock market. The magic is shared by a few. The richest 10 percent own 84 percent of all shares of stock. Remember the days when Republicans prided themselves on being fiscally responsible? Well, they’re long gone. The deficit and the debt are […]
The Human Face of Imperial Ambition
Noam Chomsky, Kathy Kelly
The National Security Strategy of the United States issued in September 2002 frankly states, “The events of September 11, 2001 fundamentally changed the context for relations between the U.S. and other main centers of global power, and opened vast, new opportunities.” And what are those opportunities for the people of Iraq? A U.S.-led invasion and […]

Editing Reality
Alexander Cockburn
Alexander Cockburn presents a lucid and witty lecture on how the mainstream media edit reality.
