Ann Wright: Worldwide Movement for Peace
January 13, 2010Retired U.S. Army colonel Ann Wright just returned from ten days in Egypt with the Gaza Freedom March. Having served both the army and the State Department overseas before stepping down in protest over the Iraq war, Wright knows the power and impact of political protest of a country's actions as well as she does the pressures of serving in an overtaxed military.Haiti, the Value of Regulation, and Ann Wright
January 13, 2010The hearings on the financial crisis are getting underway, but the real solutions will need to come out of Congress. Is it possible to create a conscious capitalism to take its place, or do we need to radically rethink our economic system? We ask Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved and the new The Value of Nothing: How to Reshape Market Society and Redefine Democracy, Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation and of the book Meltdown, and Daniel Gross, Newsweek columnist.Marching for Freedom for Gaza
January 8, 2010Ali Abunimah, cofounder of Electronic Intifada, and Medea Benjamin, cofounder of Code Pink: Women for Peace, took part in the Gaza freedom march. They join us to discuss the march, and we also speak to Electronic Intifada contributor Rami Almeghari, who is living and working in the Gaza strip.Media Narratives, Gaza and Uncle Bob
January 7, 2010No matter what the news is, which country has tensions, who's making threats, the response from TV news seems to be the same: quote Dick Cheney. We saw plenty of that this week, along with pronouncements that Democrats are doomed in 2010, complaints about progressives who've criticized the health care bill, and of course Tiger Woods.March to Free Gaza
January 5, 2010One year ago, at the tail end of the George W. Bush administration, Israel began a 22-day assault on Gaza. This year over 1300 people from more than 43 countries are marching to the Israeli border in a call for Israel to lift the siege on Gaza. In this footage from the march, 85-year-old holocaust survivor Heddy Epstein has been on a hunger strike for justice and she calls on Israel to do the right thing.Uprising in Iran, Comedy and News, and Gaza
January 4, 2010The triumphant stories about how Twitter was going to save Iran may have died down a little, but the resistance in Iran is growing and swelling. Protest on the Shia festival day of Ashura, December 27, resulted in the most violent crackdown since June and the death of opposition presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi's nephew.
