American Nuremberg – The U.S. Officials Who Should Stand Trial for Post-9/11 War Crimes an interview with Rebecca Gordon

By Imperial US, Newest Catalog Items

30sec Preview/Promo is HERE

To this day the people of the United States have no accounting of what has been done in our names in the so-called war on terror. But we are left with ongoing misery for literally millions of people, destabilized regions in the Middle East, South East Asia, North Africa and blow-back and spill over into Europe. And it is extraordinary how a small group of political leaders could have created such ongoing expanding devastation and has not been held responsible in any way.
Rebecca Gordon writes that for the sake of the victims of the war on terror we need real accountability for American war criminals. Her book, American Nuremberg, published by Hot Books at Skyhorse, NY-City, went into distribution in [ . . . ]

Naomi Klein – War and Fleece

By Films on DVD

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.
Naomi Klein writes an internationally syndicated column for The Nation, The [ . . . ]

Michael Parenti – Lies, War, And Empire

By Michael Parenti Films on DVD

In this 2007 talk for Antioch College in Seattle Parenti raises the intriguing question of how we make a valid analysis of our social reality – given that so many lies are told to confuse us. In Part one of this talk Parenti speaks about lies, dissent, and how we arrive at the truth of our situation and still retain our sanity. In the second half of his talk Parenti raises the question whether the Iraq war was not a failure but a success for some parts of the empire – and why.

Alex Carey: Corporations and Propaganda – The Attack on Democracy Part ONE of TWO

By Newest Catalog Items

For a 30 second Preview/Promo click HERE

This is TUC Radio’s all time most popular program.
Those of you who used it know that it draws an amazing response.
It’s been almost six years since it was last sent out.
Alex Carey wrote that the people of the US have been subjected to an unparalleled, expensive, 3/4 century long propaganda effort designed to expand corporate rights by undermining democracy and destroying the unions. The 20th century, he wrote, is marked by three historic developments: the growth of democracy via the expansion of the franchise, the growth of corporations, and the growth of propaganda to protect corporations from democracy. Carey’s unique view of US history goes back to World War I and ends with the Reagan era.
Noam Chomsky dedicated his book [ . . . ]
