Reefer Madness
Eric Schlosser
Marijuana is a multi-billion dollar piece of the underground economy. Public support is growing for relaxing or eliminating the penalties against adults who smoke pot. But the Bush administration continues to push severe punishment and strict definition of marijuana as a dangerous illegal drug. Another thriving part of the underground economy in the U.S. is […]
Letters to a Young Teacher
Jonathan Kozol
Seize the Time!
Arundhati Roy
People have power but can exercise it most effectively when it is organized and collective. It’s relatively easy for the state and big business to pick off and neutralize freelancers and lone operatives. It’s when a movement forms that the state and the corporations can be challenged. Citizens in privileged societies like the U.S. often […]
The Path to Peace in Global Society
Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso)
No keynote address from Tenzin Gyatso (His Holiness the Dalai Lama) is without a jaw dropping shocker to contemplate. In this speech, the humble monk and professed Marxist says that meditation and prayer are not practical solutions, and that action is more important than prayer. He appeals to all for more action to address injustices, […]

Iraq: A Failure of Intelligence
Ray McGovern
When is a lie a lie? What if the Bush Administration deliberately lied about the reasons to attack Iraq? What if intelligence was “cooked”?

Stupid White Men
Michael Moore
By chance, Michael Moore’s book Stupid White Men was printed on September 10th, 2001. The next day the publishers suddenly considered his book “inappropriate” claiming that with sections like “Kill Whitey” and a letter asking Bush to resign would not go over well in post-9/11 America. They asked him to rewrite it, but he refused. The book […]
History of the Southeast Asia Drug Trade
Alfred McCoy
Public Relations: Corporate Spin & Propaganda
Stuart Ewen
Current events are routinely packaged by spin doctors and image consultants. The U.S. has the largest public relations industry in the world. It is a major societal force in influencing and shaping public opinion. The number of PR workers far exceeds that of journalists. Professional spinmeisters churn out stories that are favorable to the corporations […]
From Genocide to Resistance: The Next Five Hundred Years
Winona LaDuke
For the indigenous peoples of this hemisphere, the Columbian Quincentennial was not an occasion for cheering and parades. The arrival of the Italian-born, Spanish explorer initiated massive death and destruction. Yet native peoples survived and persevered. Today they offer a worldview that is singular and inspiring. Recorded at the University of Colorado.
The Israel/PLO Accord: A Critical Assessment
Edward Said
The agreement signed by the Israeli government and the Palestine Liberation Organization in Washington on September 13, 1993 has been broadly hailed as a seminal event. Time described it as “one of the greatest miracles of all.” The New York Times called it “the Middle East equivalent of the fall of the Berlin Wall.” The […]
