The Nature of Things
David Suzuki
Not that long ago most of us on planet Earth lived on the land, that is to say with nature. Today there are many more billions of us and we live in megacities from Cairo to Karachi and Mexico City to Beijing. Away from nature. We have largely distanced ourselves from the natural world. Concrete […]
The New Media Monopoly
Ben Bagdikian
In 1983 there were 50 corporations that controlled the media in the U.S. Today that number is down to 5. What does that portend for democracy and the information needs of the citizenry? The 1996 Telecommunications Act had a lot to do with the acceleration of monopolies. Its enthusiastic advocates promised more media diversity. The […]
The Poetry of Yevtushenko
Yevgeny Yevtushenko
This program features Yevtushenko reciting his poetry (in Russian) as well as English translation, music and commentary. Recorded at the University of Colorado.
The Shock Doctrine
Naomi Klein
Catastrophes from Katrina to Iraq from Afghanistan to the Asian Tsunami clear the way for corporations to move in and operate in newly privatized zones, pushing local government overboard. Kind of like shock and awe economics. Privatize, privatize, privatize is intoned like a mantra by the economic high priests of neoliberalism. The belief in the […]
The Surveillance State
Glenn Greenwald
The June 2013 revelations of massive government spying should not really come as a surprise. Since 9/11 there has been a steady drift to more and more state power, secrecy and totalitarianism all in the name of national security. Snooping, prying, eavesdropping, call it what you want the government is doing it on a scale […]
The Tax Code: Class Warfare
Richard Wolff
People dread taxes. The tax code is a labyrinth few citizens dare to enter save for the rich and powerful who hire lawyers and accountants to figure out ways to game the system. One corporation paid $26,000 a year to maintain a post office box in Bermuda as its legal HQs. That little trick saved […]
The War on Liberties
Susan Herman
Voltaire said, “It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.” In the decade of fear since 9/11 the government has constructed a vast apparatus of control and surveillance. Your most obvious experience is at the airport but it extends way beyond that. Big Brother is watching. Basic liberties are under attack all […]
Toward a Healthy Society
Stephen Bezruchka
It’s no secret. The poor get the short end of the stick in multiple ways. They live shorter lives and suffer from almost every social problem from lack of decent housing to lousy food to no healthcare to being isolated and reviled. Poverty results in toxic levels of stress. Among the countries in the world, […]
Turkey and the Middle East
Noam Chomsky
Turkey threatens and jails journalists and dissidents. It bombs the Kurds. Chomsky has sharp criticisms of the autocratic regime of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Despite grotesque human rights violations, Ankara has been given a free pass by Washington for years. Why? NATO ally Turkey is a key part of U.S. plans for ongoing intervention […]
U.S. to UN: Do It Our Way
Noam Chomsky
Imagine someone owed you a lot of money, but before paying it back, that person insisted that you not only reduce the amount but also change the way you conduct your affairs. OK. You are broke and desperate. You go along with the debtor’s demands. Then, to top it off, you still don’t get paid. […]
Understanding the Middle East
Chris Giannou
Large parts of the Middle East today are engulfed in violence. Why? What historical factors shape the current conflicts? Take Iraq for example, a country in chaos. The U.S. has been intervening in Iraq non-stop for decades. What has it produced? Sectarianism and strife. Death and destruction. Actual U.S. policy in the Middle East is […]
Vietnam: The Forever War
Marilyn Young
The Vietnam War was a pivotal event in the 20th century. Although it officially ended in 1975, it never really seems to end. The war brought us free-fire zones, strategic hamlets, carpet bombings, Agent Orange, MIAs and POWs, and the never-to-be-seen lights at the ends of tunnels. For the millions of victims the war was […]
