Russell Means – Welcome to the Reservation
07 Oct, 2024 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |
Indigenous communities are among the poorest in the U.S. This is one of many persistent symptoms of the colonial relationship imposed by force upon Indigenous peoples. As famed historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz says, “Neither arcane colonial laws nor the historical trauma of genocide simply disappear with time and certainly not when conditions of life and consciousness perpetuate them.” From the earliest...

Richard Forer – Blaming the Victim: Roots of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
30 Sep, 2024 | 0:57:00 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |
Blaming the victim is as old as the hills. It occurs when the victim of a crime or tragedy is held at fault for the harm that befell them. In other words, you had it coming to you. The great scholar Edward Said ruefully remarked that the Palestinians were the victims of the victim hence it was very difficult for them to generate...

Noura Erakat – International Law: Real or Fiction
23 Sep, 2024 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |
The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine would be described repeatedly as a violation of the "rules-based order." Then a curious thing happened when Israel invaded Gaza in 2023. The term virtually disappeared as the U.S. sought to protect its close ally Israel. But the U.S. itself has a long record of violating the international rules-based order with its own invasions,...

Ilan Pappe? – Myths of Israel
16 Sep, 2024 | 0:57:00 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |
A myth is a story passed down through generations that attempts to explain the origins of something. The foundational myth of Israel was “a land without people for a people without a land.” That myth had profound consequences that reverberate today. There were people there - the Palestinians. Such myths are characteristic of settler colonial societies such as South Africa, Australia, New...

Michael Parenti - Fascism: The False Revolution
02 Sep, 2024 | 0:59:44 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |
Fascism is a term that is bandied about often rather loosely. Orwell wrote that it is understood to be “something not desirable.” But it is a complex political and economic synergy that has force and nationalism as its animating matrix. And it involves propaganda and the manipulation of the masses by the media. Mussolini, in one of his more honest...

Jason Stanley - How Fascism Works
19 Aug, 2024 | 0:57:00 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |
What is fascism? Michael Parenti, author and historian says, “Fascism historically has been used to secure the interests of large capitalist interests against the demands of popular democracy. Then and now, fascism has made irrational mass appeals in order to secure the rational ends of class domination.” Fascism flourishes in times of economic insecurity and cultural backlash. Opportunistic politicians offer...

Thomas Suárez – Zionism: The Back Story
12 Aug, 2024 | 0:57:00 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |
The back story in journalism and scholarship uncovers vital information on important issues that had been obscured or omitted. It provides background. For example, the origin of Zionism is usually traced to a pamphlet Theodor Herzl wrote in 1896 called The Jewish State. However, the eminent Israeli scholar Ilan Pappe, writes "Many people do not know that Zionism began as...

Steven Levitsky - Tyranny of the Minority
05 Aug, 2024 | 0:57:02 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |
The United States is moving toward a multiracial society. But that demographic development has sparked an authoritarian political backlash. Powerful forces like things just the way they are. Our political system makes the U.S. vulnerable to minority rule. Perhaps the most undemocratic mechanism enabling minority rule is the antiquated Electoral College. No other country has one. The Electoral College has...

Richard Forer - Psychospiritual Roots of the Israel-Palestinian Tragedy
29 Jul, 2024 | 0:57:01 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |
In Sanskrit, maya means illusion, magic. Maya is at work among people and nations who project carefully crafted positive images of themselves. The U.S. and Israel are no different from other countries. They claim self-defense as they launch massive attacks. They invoke international law when it suits them then ignore it when it doesn’t. Then there’s always the standard line...

The rise of AI, artificial intelligence, is a major development in human history. Its ramifications are profound. What is it exactly? AI provides a computer program with the ability to think and learn on its own. It is a simulation of human intelligence into machines to do things that normally humans do.

Naomi Klein - Holocausts: An Historical Reckoning
15 Jul, 2024 | 0:57:00 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |
Holocaust, derived from the Greek, is a large-scale calamity involving fire. Today, the term is specifically used to describe the German genocide of the Jews. But it has a long history. The European mass murder of Indigenous peoples in North and South America killed 55 million or 90% of the population, between 1492 and 1600, in a little more than one...

Guns, Guns, Guns. In the United States gun violence and shootings in schools, supermarkets, and malls are widespread and have almost become routine. The country is flooded with weapons. Americans may be the most heavily armed people on earth. Fascination with guns has its roots in the American Revolution when notions of patriotism fused with a belief in white male...

Ilan Pappe - Gaza in Context

EN | Shawna Sprowls |
Gaza’s 2 million plus Palestinians are jam-packed in a small narrow enclave bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, Egypt and Israel. Since 2007 it has been ruled by Hamas. Hamas is an Arabic acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement. Israel immediately imposed a blockade. Since then, Gaza has routinely been called the world’s largest open-air prison. Its air, land and sea...

Noam Chomsky - The United States & Israel
24 Jun, 2024 | 0:57:00 |
EN | Shawna Sprowls |
Few issues are more freighted than the U.S.-Israel relationship. Overwhelmingly, Democrats and Republicans give Israel “unwavering” support. Internationally, it’s a different story. Opposition to the U.S.-Israel alliance is mounting, particularly on Palestine. Nowhere is this more apparent than at the UN where scores of U.S. Security Council vetoes shield Israel from criticism. Can policy change? Noam Chomsky says, “It’s very...

China is a paradoxical global power. It's run by the Communist Party and at the same time it has a huge private sector which includes the world's largest number of billionaires. Its economy has been described as a mix of state capitalism and market socialism. Internationally its Belt & Road Initiative has spread its economic and political influence. Washington views China...
