Noam Chomsky - When Lunatics Run the Asylum

4 Dec, 2023 || 0:57:00 || Noam Chomsky - When Lunatics Run the Asylum || The future of humankind and the planet are in danger from the twin existential threats of terminal nuclear war and climate catastrophe. The response? The Biden administration is following through on Pentagon plans to “modernize” its nuclear arsenal. Instead of eliminating these weapons of mass destruction we are upgrading them. And the clock is ticking louder and louder on the climate emergency. The response? A massive new oil drilling project in Alaska. Seem illogical? Not really. These are the kinds of outcomes you can expect when lunatics run the asylum.

Joseph Stiglitz - Democracy & the Failure of Neoliberal Globalization

27 Nov, 2023 || 0:57:00 || Joseph Stiglitz - Democracy & the Failure of Neoliberal Globalization || Neoliberal economics has exposed the dark side of the American dream. It took off with Reagan and Thatcher. For most workers incomes have stagnated except for the very rich, whose incomes have more than quadrupled. Biden correctly points out that millions of people have gotten new jobs. But despite that, the typical family is actually getting paid less taking inflation into account. According to data from the Federal Reserve, real median household income has been falling during the Biden presidency. Last year the poverty rate more than doubled, and the number of people who are hungry jumped to 44 million. The ruling class, the owners of the economy and architects of policy advance and protect their interests, no matter how grievous the effect on others. Can we imagine an equitable economic system?

Russell Means – Knowing Who You Are: Lessons from Native America

20 Nov, 2023 || 0:57:00 || Russell Means – Knowing Who You Are: Lessons from Native America || 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 the epitome of faithfulness and subservience. The formation and rise of the American Indian Movement, AIM, in the late 1960s and early 1970s did much to break down conventional stereotypes. AIM, through its actions at Wounded Knee, Alcatraz, Mount Rushmore and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, demonstrated that Native Americans could and would fight back against racism and oppression.

Norman Finkelstein - A Brief History of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

13 Nov, 2023 || 0:57:00 || Norman Finkelstein - A Brief History of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict || The world’s eyes are on Gaza. It is ruled by Hamas. Hamas is an acronym in Arabic for the Islamic Resistance Movement. A bit of history. Gaza came under Israeli military control in 1967. That continued for thirty-eight years until 2005. Since then, it has been subjected to an Israeli-imposed siege and blockade and a series of bloody wars. Israel says it acts in self-defense responding to Hamas rocket attacks. But nothing compares to the death and destruction of the current war. More than 10,000 Palestinians and 1400 Israelis have been killed. Without a knowledge of history, we are susceptible to manipulation. To give background is not to condone or excuse savagery on either side. It’s to provide an understanding of the origins of the conflict. As UN Secretary-General Guterres said, “The attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum.”

Vandana Shiva – Real Food, Real Farming

30 Oct, 2023 || 0:57:00 || Vandana Shiva – Real Food, Real Farming || We live in a time where our connection with food and with the farmers that grow it has been undermined. The root of the problem is a growing dependence on a dysfunctional paradigm based on pesticides and monocultures, and a separation between humans and nature. How we produce, distribute, and consume food is increasingly becoming the center of the multiple crises we face today. Vandana Shiva says, “It is possible and healthy to have a whole and nutritious diet based on biodiverse plants.” But she warns, “Do not become subscribers to Bill Gates’ fake food empire.” We must, she urges “join hands with the Earth” and “return to a culture of care that provides dignity to farmers who produce real food to feed the world.”

Bedross Der Matossian - Armenia, Artsakh & Azerbaijan

23 Oct, 2023 || 0:52:04 || Bedross Der Matossian - Armenia, Artsakh & Azerbaijan || Quickly lost in media coverage was a conflict that ended recently between the Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh, Artsakh in Armenian and Azerbaijan. It resulted in the ethnic cleansing of the Armenian enclave. This is a huge blow to the millennial old Armenian people. Their land was under siege by Azerbaijan. On September 19th Azerbaijan invaded. The outnumbered and outgunned Armenians had little chance against their more powerful neighbor. By the end of September, there were hardly any Armenians left in their ancient homeland. Armenians, a people who have endured massacres and genocide, are resilient and they will heal their wounds and bounce back.
