By MariaMarch 25, 2025Newest Catalog Items

Reaction to the breach of the cease fire on March 18     Francesca Albanese is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories. She was in London, England, when Israel broke the Cease Fire in Gaza on March 18, 2022, and killed more than 400 people in that first night.

The interview is dated March 18 and, just a week later, had over a quarter million views.

This talk was recorded before a standing room audience of 1,200 in Berkeley, CA, on September 23, 1995.
Fascism, as Mussolini allegedly said, should be more properly called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power.” And history, as told by Michael Parenti, shows that in all fascist societies, be it Italy, Germany, Japan, Spain, and into the present, corporate power increased.

By MariaFebruary 11, 2025Newest Catalog Items
