Solutions: Israel/Palestine
Ilan Pappe
The winds of change are sweeping across the Middle East. Decrepit and sclerotic regimes are crumbling. A constant however is the unresolved Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Will the broader political upheavals in the region help bring about a solution? Perhaps. But round after round of U.S.-led failed peace talks and a simultaneous huge increase in illegal Israeli […]
Whistleblowing: Big Insurance
Wendell Potter
Whistleblowers perform valuable societal functions as they reveal information of crimes, corruption, and lying. Daniel Ellsberg was a noteworthy example of whistleblowing when, in 1971, he leaked the Pentagon Papers, Washington’s top secret Vietnam war documents. John Stockwell and Phillip Agee were former CIA agents who went public and exposed some of that agency’s illegal […]
Terrorism & the Media
Reese Erlich
The use of the word terrorism by politicians and the corporate media is highly refined and selective. September 11 is the event that defines the term. Acts of violence by designated enemies are without exception categorized as terrorism. The perpetrators are labeled as terrorists. But when the U.S. carries out air attacks, invasions, coups, sabotage […]
Capitalism and the Environment
Chris Williams
James Hansen, one of the leading scientific authorities on global warming, warns: “Planet Earth, creation, the world in which civilization developed, the world with climate patterns that we know and stable shorelines, is in imminent peril. The startling conclusion is that continued exploitation of all fossil fuels on Earth threatens not only the other millions […]
Resistance and the Arts
Amiri Baraka
From Allen Ginsberg to Kurt Vonnegut and from Bob Dylan to Michael Franti, artists have been on the cutting edge. The arts play a pivotal role in society. The great historian Howard Zinn said: “Whenever I become discouraged I lift my spirits by remembering: The artists are on our side! I mean those poets and […]
Roots of the Economic Collapse
Robert Scheer
Wall Street is making more money than ever. The four largest firms, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase, wracked up huge gains and paid out billions in bonuses. The CEO of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein, defended the bank’s massive profits, saying Goldman is, “doing God’s work.” And on Main Street? By almost […]
Human Intelligence & the Environment
Noam Chomsky
As a species we humans are unique because of our intelligence. At the same time we have the capacity to defer, deny and ignore unpleasant realities. To wit: the environmental crisis. The signs of climate change are clearly evident. Glaciers are melting at an astonishing rate. Floods, fires, drought, tornadoes and hurricanes are occurring with […]
Pakistan: The Jackals Rule
Fatima Bhutto
Pakistan has received billions in U.S. aid. Where is that money? Much of it has gone missing. The jackals rule in Pakistan. A series of venal military and civilian leaders have devastated and looted the country. Historically, the U.S. has used Pakistan as a strategic asset. Its backing of fundamentalist dictator Zia ul-Haq had disastrous […]
United States of Surveillance
Alfred McCoy
The telescreens in Orwell’s “1984” monitoring Winston Smith are crude devices compared to 21st century technology but they make the point. Big Brother is watching your every move. Today, the weapons of surveillance in the hands of state agencies have grown enormously in scope and sophistication. Basic rights are in jeopardy. Invasions of privacy such […]
Corruption: From Russia to Wall Street
Matt Taibbi
It’s easy to make jokes and feel virtuous when discussing post-Communist Russia. It’s crony capitalism and insider trading at its worst. In comparison, are things much better in the United States? There is corruption, fraud, bribery and embezzlement. With a few exceptions, the scoundrels walk away with their bonuses and compensation packages while their victims […]
Lies, Cliches and the Middle East
Robert Fisk
Words are a contested battlefield. Propagandists long ago figured out if you control the vocabulary you could dominate any debate or issue, conflict or war. On almost any given day you can read or hear variants of the following: Our enemies live in strongholds and emerge from nests or caves to carry out brazen ambushes. […]
Climate Wars
Gwynne Dyer
An increase in just two degrees Celsius in average global temperature could trigger conflicts over scarce food and water. Scientists are predicting we will see in this century an increase in heat waves, floods, droughts, and storms 10 times more powerful than Katrina. As the planet gets hotter, glaciers will melt and there will be […]
