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 […]
Eqbal Ahmad: Legacy of Resistance
Noam Chomsky
2 CDs The main theme of Noam Chomsky’s lecture which began the tribute to Eqbal Ahmad event, was confronting empire. He talked about the “international community” as essentially the U.S. and its allies, Bush’s “messianic mission” and the “unusual historic event we are witnessing” the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Palestinians enabled by Washington. By […]
1999 Socialist Scholars Conference
Noam Chomsky, Staughton Lynd
Noam Chomsky says, “Freedom without opportunity is a dubious gift. Discussion of positive and negative liberty is fine for academic seminars but it doesn’t have an enormous amount of significance for half of the world’s population who live – if that’s the word – on less than $2. a day which means without access to […]
Debate on Israel/Palestine
Noam Chomsky, Alan Dershowitz
2 CDs The much-anticipated encounter between two long-time adversaries. Dershowitz dismisses Chomsky as inhabiting his own “planet” where “the news reflects his perspective on reality.” He claims Chomsky relies on, “selective quotes and picking tidbits out of context.” And “If you check his sources, they are false. He makes it up as he goes along.” […]

On the Eve of the Gulf War
Noam Chomsky, Eqbal Ahmad
One of the rare recordings of these two intellectual titans recorded just a few days before the attack on Iraq. From the very beginning of the crisis precipitated by Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, Chomsky says, the U.S. prevented “any diplomatic initiative” including sanctions. Quoting Bush 1, “America stands where it always has, against aggression, against […]
Megabanks: Too Big to Save
Simon Johnson
It was an unusual moment at the 2011 Oscars. Charles Ferguson, director of the award-winning documentary “Inside Job,” told the audience, “Forgive me, I must start by pointing out that three years after our horrific financial crisis caused by financial fraud, not a single financial executive has gone to jail, and that’s wrong.” There was […]
War on the Earth
Vandana Shiva
The predatory practices of corporations are increasingly turning our fragile garden into a junkyard. Citizens are told by their political masters and the corporados who pay them that there is no alternative. That’s true if one’s only concern is profits. That approach is fast turning our planet into a toxic waste dump. The landscape of […]
Settlements: Obstacles to Peace
Kathy Christison
There are some 500,000 Israelis living in settlements on what is almost universally regarded as Palestinian land . The first houses went up in the late 1960s and have continued under both Labor and Likud governments. They are the “facts on the ground” Israeli leaders said they wanted to create. There are freezes, partial freezes, […]
