Blackwater: Mercenary Army
Jeremy Scahill
A hidden story of the U.S. war on Iraq has been the use private contractors, a shadow force almost as big as the American army. The major company operating in Iraq and raking in millions of dollars in taxpayer money is Blackwater. The well-connected North Carolina-based firm is the elite Praetorian Guard of the so-called […]
Peak Oil
Richard Heinberg
The jump at the pump got you down? While you’re paying through the nose for gas the oil companies are making record profits. In 2005, ExxonMobil recorded the largest net profit of any corporation in the history of capitalism: a cool $36 billion. But the gravy train may not last forever. The concept of peak […]
Testimonies from Iraq War Veterans
Winter Soldier
The Winter Soldier investigation originally took place in Detroit in 1971. Vietnam War veterans testified about war crimes they had committed or witnessed. In 2003 the United States invaded Iraq on false pretenses. Not one of the many allegations to justify the attack was true. In an endless war and occupation no one has been […]
Rethinking Growth
Sunita Narain
In water-stressed India, women walk for miles to fetch water. A stunning illustration of the problem is in the Himalayas. Its millennia-old glaciers are the source of many of Asia’s great rivers. They are shrinking at such a rapid rate that in a quarter of a century they may disappear. The official response in India? […]
Contrary Notions
Michael Parenti
Much of what passes for political analysis in the media is a discussion of tactics. Deeply embedded ideas are never mentioned let alone questioned or challenged. Taking their cues from so-called Washington conventional wisdom, such notions as international law or the UN Charter are only applied to official enemies. If you have your eyes open […]
The Global Water Crisis
Maude Barlow
Water, water, everywhere. It looks that way. More than 2/3s of the earth’s surface is water but of that, only a tiny percentage is suitable for drinking. Underground water supplies, aquifers, the most abundant source of fresh water, are being depleted. It is predicted that two-thirds of the world’s population will not have enough drinking […]
Tibet: The Struggle for Freedom
Youdon Aukatsang
Tibet, the roof of the world, struggles for freedom against China. Tibet’s spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama fled his homeland in 1959 and lives in exile in India. The Nobel Laureate is noted for his espousal of non-violence. Nevertheless he is accused by the Chinese of being “a wolf in monk’s robes” plotting against Beijing […]
Anti-Arab Racism
Steven Salaita
Edward Said, the great Palestinian-American scholar commented that racism against Arabs is the last acceptable form of racism in the U.S. Arabs are constructed as the Other, dark and evil. There have been numerous Newsweek and Time magazine covers depicting angry, bearded Arabs, wearing a checkered kaffiyeh, and brandishing a weapon. Radio & TV talk […]
Iraq: The Forever War
Noam Chomsky
Imperial powers have historically cooked up great reasons to sell their wars to their people. The standard litany for aggression is self-defense, freedom, liberty and democracy. The attack on Iraq was not a mistake. It was a crime. And criminals should be brought to justice. But we don’t have anyone in the political system that […]
Iran: All Options on the Table
Scott Ritter
George W. Bush proclaimed, “The action and policies of the Government of Iran continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.” That was part of executive order Bush issued extending the national emergency with respect to Iran. The leaders in Washington and those […]
Brave New India: Uprisings
Arundhati Roy
India is hot. Its meteoric rise as an economic power with a growing number of millionaires and billionaires is a great success story. Not quite. Politically, India has gone from its Nehru-inspired non-alignment to aligning itself with Washington. Its priorities mirror its mentor’s. 19% of the country’s budget goes to the military while education gets […]
Israel, Iran & the US: Treacherous Alliance
Trita Parsi
You know the old saw, politics makes strange bedfellows. How about this one? Israel, Iran and the U.S. Yep, hard to believe but true. For many years the three acted in close cooperation. It’s a story that’s barely known. And for good reason. It is inconvenient. It’s like being reminded that the U.S. supported Saddam […]
