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 […]
Counter-Poetics and Oppositional Action
Allen Ginsberg
Allen Ginsberg, Anne Waldman, Amiri Baraka, Joanne Kyger, and Peter L. Wilson.
International Terrorism
Noam Chomsky
Hypocrisy on the issue of terrorism is mind-boggling. Washington defines the discourse and the media echo the official line. When the U.S. or any of its clients engage in terrorism it is by definition not terrorism. However, terrorism carried out by individuals and small groups is terrorism. Maybe we should go to the classics to […]
Inverted Totalitarianism
Chris Hedges
The wedding of state and corporate power is at unprecedented levels. The implications for democracy are ominous. Elections are formalities, often more like auctions to be sold to the highest bidder. There is no proportional representation. In a winner take all system the Dems and Repubs got the game all sewed up. And their sponsors […]
Kashmir: Telling the Story
Khurram Parvez
I interviewed Khurram Parvez in Srinagar, Kashmir in February 2011. When I returned to India that September to follow up on reporting on the mass graves in Kashmir, I was denied entry by the Indian government. I’ve been banned from India ever since. Sadly, this interview is still relevant. Since August 2019 the Hindu nationalist […]
Chile: The Allende Years 1970-1973
Samuel Chavkin
This is a special program on the Salvador Allende Popular Unity government in Chile during the years 1970-1973. The election of the democratic socialist Allende on September 4, 1970 set off panic in Washington. Nixon ordered the CIA to topple Allende. He told CIA director Richard Helms he was “not concerned with the risks involved” […]
Knowing Who You Are: Lessons from Native America
Russell Means
For years the indigenous peoples of the U.S., after having been dispersed and decimated and relegated to reservations, were reduced to caricatures. We all knew Indians and their culture. There was the familiar medicine man, the trading post, Geronimo and Crazy Horse, papooses and squaws, tepees and tomahawks, war dances and war parties. Tonto was […]
Latin America and the Universality of the Novel
Carlos Fuentes
Live in Eugene
John Trudell
John Trudell believes that the progression of civilization has spawned a “mining of the spirit.” Society pollutes the minds of its people with technological toxic waste. The individual is alienated from the roots of “human belongingness.” Drawing from historical perspectives of “Earth DNA” he urges individual and collective responsibility. In this talk, Trudell interlaces poetry […]
Manufacturing Consent
Noam Chomsky
The media like to present themselves as objective, balanced and free from any bias or agenda. Reality suggests something quite different. The media function as weapons of mass distraction. Much of what passes as news is, sometimes subtle, sometimes crude, propaganda. The media are large conglomerates that serve to mobilize support for the special interests […]
Masters of Mankind
Noam Chomsky
Adam Smith is routinely trotted out by pundits to justify the current economic system. Yet the Smith that is represented bares little resemblance to reality. If he were around today he probably would be appalled at the way his name and ideas are being bandied about. All that stuff about the free market and entrepreneurial […]
Medical Marijuana
Martin Lee
Marijuana, cannabis, weed, grass, by one name or the other you‘ve heard about it and may have even tried it. An Irish physician, William O’Shaughnessy introduced the therapeutic use of marijuana to Western medicine in the 1830s. He gave it to patients to help treat muscle spasms and stomach cramps. Marijuana as a medicine became common […]
