Mad Vegetarian Cowboy
Howard Lyman
Agriculture has been a cornerstone of the U.S. economy and the family farmer a symbol of the country. Enter “agribusiness” and farm factories so large that management depends upon tons of petrochemicals in the form of fuel, pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides. Resultant animal production quotas require the use of hormones and antibiotics to support unnaturally […]
The Case for Vegetarianism
Howard Lyman
In August 1997, E. coli bacteria in hamburgers resulted in the largest meat recall in U.S. history. More than 25 million pounds of beef were pulled from the market. Major chains such as Burger King, Wal-Mart and Safeway halted sales of suspect patties. Despite this incident and others, meat-eating remains a central part of many […]

The US/SS Nazi Connection
John Loftus
John Loftus says, “I was a young lawyer working for the Attorney General in Washington when President Carter asked the Justice Department to set up a Nazi-hunting unit. I volunteered.” Loftus vividly recalls, “I came across some files I wasn’t supposed to see: the classified records of the Holocaust.” The files revealed that Washington knew […]
Overcoming Cynicism
Paul Loeb
Many of us want to participate in tackling social problems, but are too overwhelmed by the enormity of the task to even begin. Those who do become involved often suffer burnout after slogging in the trenches. A vibrant democracy requires participation from all sectors of society, not just politicians and designated experts. Ordinary citizens throughout […]

Alicia Littletree
On May 24, 1990, a motion-triggered car bomb ripped through Earth First!-er Judi Bari as she and co-organizer Darryl Cherney were driving through Oakland, California. They were heading to Santa Cruz to promote a campaign called Redwood Summer of nonviolent actions to stop old-growth forest logging in Northern California. It was proving incredibly successful in […]
Turkish Denial of the Armenian Genocide
Robert Jay Lifton, Peter Balakian
Imagine if someone told you the Holocaust never happened or that slavery never existed. Your eyes would roll. The Armenian Genocide is a historical fact yet Turkey, the perpetrator, continues to deny it. This is not the case of a few crackpot individuals or small groups falsifying and fabricating history. This denial has the power, […]
The CIA & LSD: Acid Dreams
Martin Lee
During the Cold War in the early 1950s, the CIA experimented and developed LSD as a mind control espionage weapon. It launched a massive covert program in which countless innocent civilians were used as guinea pigs. Though the CIA was intent on keeping the drug for its own purposes, it could not prevent it from […]
Resurgent Fascism: The Beast Reawakens
Martin Lee
Fascism did not end with Hitler’s suicide in his Berlin bunker. In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, the U.S. recruited and protected Nazi war criminals. It was all part of the emerging Cold War conflict. The unseemly alliances yielded some very unsavory consequences with effects still evident today in the revival of […]
Media: Too Close to Power
Martin Lee
The cherished myth that the media are independent, balanced, value free and have no point of view is crumbling. Noam Chomsky, Michael Parenti and others have documented that the media are not objective but rather promote certain biases. Media economics have been transformed. Local small town newspapers are now owned by large corporations. TV and […]
