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 […]
Who Bombed Judi Bari?
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 […]
Frankenfood: Genetically Altered Cuisine
Marc Lappe, Britt Bailey
While cloned sheep and biomedical applications of DNA technology make headlines world-wide, the genetic modification and corporate takeover of our food supply is a quiet revolution. In the U.S., genetically altered foods are exempted from normal FDA and EPA testing of their effects on human health and the environment. Complete labeling is not required. You […]
Restoring the Planet
Frances Moore Lappe
Part of the success of humans as a species can be attributed to the formation of social groups. These groups worked together & provided security & community for its members. Our society has largely become an entity that no longer nourishes the individual. The planet is now exploited & polluted for the financial gain of […]
Living Democracy
Frances Moore Lappe
Democracy is something most of us take for granted. It may be flawed but it is the best thing going. However, signs that all is not well with our venerable system are increasingly evident. Fewer and fewer people bother to vote. Negative opinion of and hostility toward public institutions are constantly rising. Citizens feel disconnected […]
The Newt World Order
Saul Landau
The ascendancy of Newt Gingrich and the ideology he represents is at center stage. The GOP and its Contract with America are reshaping the country. The media talk about a revolution and the sweeping mandate for the right-wing agenda. What mandate? 61% of eligible voters didn’t even turn out in the November ’94 elections. Of […]
