Alexander Cockburn Investigates Al Gore

By Amazing Speakers & Events, Politics

For one year Nation columnist and author Alexander Cockburn investigated Al Gore’s record with his co-author Jeffrey St. Clair. They looked up his lengthy voting record from the day he entered congress in 1976, interviewed people who knew him, and researched the history of his campaigns. In this lively speech filled with biting wit and humor, Cockburn takes up all major issues brought up by Gore supporters: the death penalty, abortion, and potential Supreme Court appointments. He argues that none of these would benefit from a Gore presidency. (July 2000)

Charles Kernaghan: Support the Fired Sweatshop Workers in Nicaragua

By Amazing Speakers & Events, Labor

While in New York for the United Nations meeting in early September, I paid an unannounced visit to the National Labor Committee’s small offices. I walked into an emergency meeting of college students with the NLC’s charismatic and energetic director Charles Kernaghan. One of the major sweatshop contractors, sewing clothes for Kohl’s, J.C. Penney, Kmart and Wal-Mart in Nicaragua’s maquiladora, had just fired 600 union workers. This is the story of the fight back of the Nicaraguan workers and their appeal for help from US consumers who are paying $30 for a pair of jeans that they earn just 20 cents to sew.

Naomi Klein – War And Fleeze

By Amazing Speakers & Events, Middle East

How Economic Shock Therapy Backfired in Iraq
Naomi Klein, the award winning journalist and author of the international best seller, No Logo, spoke to the abyss between the spin of the new democratic Iraq in the US media and the reality on the ground. The wave of privatization, instituted by Paul Bremer and reinforced by the International Monetary Fund, will not easily be reversed since the new government needs an impossible to reach majority to undo Bremer’s laws and enact the wishes of the Iraqi people. The IMF, the US government, the Paris Club and other international organizations are making a cruel joke of the promise of self determination in Iraq.

By Amazing Speakers & Events, Middle East

The refugees in the Jenin camp, near the center of the town of Jenin in occupied Palestine were able to see their former homes across the border of what is now the state of Israel.

Did Israeli bulldozers destroy buildings while people were trapped inside? What occurred here while the media and foreign observers were excluded at gun point? Robert Fisk tells the story.
