GRITtv Digs: Conspiracy Tactics: Priests for Life
November 11, 2010As anti-abortion activist Flip Benham faces trial for stalking and violating a law against residential picketing, we zero in once again on the various tactics of the anti-choice movement. From "Wanted" posters with abortion providers' faces, names and addresses to the use of racially-loaded language by Frank Pavone and his Priests for Life group--a decidedly white organization claiming concern for African-American babies, Charles Stuart for GRITtv Digs keeps an eye on the movement in this third installment of "Conspiracy Tactics."Kathy Kelly, Priests for Life, and Women in the Military
November 10, 2010“We're all veterans of a war againt the poor in the United States. We have a tremendous opportunity to have a vocation as peacemakers," says Kathy Kelly, a veteran peacemaker herself. Recently returned from another trip to Afghanistan where she spoke to everyday citizens, including men and women, Kelly notes that the average person on the ground there has little awareness of the September 11 attacks, despite the rationale for the U.S. occupation.Robert Scheer, The Loaded Chamber, and Lobbyists
November 5, 2010"Wall Street was blackmailing us," says Robert Scheer of the bank bailouts, "And we got nothing in return." It's not news to any viewers of GRITtv that Wall Street's tentacles ran throughout our election, but now that the election is over, we turn again to the running of government.GRITtv Digs: Conspiracy Tactics: Splitting the Vote
November 2, 2010In our first installment of our new GRITtv Digs investigative series "Conspiracy Tactics," we were introduced to a new concept in the anti-choice movement: the co-opting of Civil Rights Movement language and strategies to break up the progressive coalition. In this segment, pro-choice leaders in the African-American community question the sudden interest of white Conservatives in black women and their babies.Jeremy Scahill and Conspiracy Tactics
November 1, 2010"The US has basically already lost the war in Afghanistan, if they even knew what victory was defined at in the beginning," says Jeremy Scahill, just back from two weeks reporting unembedded in that country. The Taliban there are not unlike the Tea Party here, he notes, not popular in themselves but rather as a protest against the failures of the current regime.The Loaded Chamber, Tax Liens, Mamachas del Ring, and Lee Camp
October 29, 2010In the first two parts of our investigative series, The Loaded Chamber, we met the faces behind the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, its shadowy fundraising for the election cycle, and the government entities that are supposed to be keeping an eye on it. In part three, we look at the foreign money flowing into the chamber--and the connections between that cash and the Chamber's support for outsourcing jobs. And is that foreign money going to pay for elections?The Loaded Chamber: Foreign Money

October 28, 2010The election is getting closer, and the money keeps on flowing. Today we're bringing you part two of Harry Hanbury’s investigative series for GRITtv's new investigative series, GRITtv Digs. In part one, we looked at the Chamber of Commerce's contributions to the campaign cycle--now, we ask, who's watching the Chamber? Why does it get away with this?David Cay Johnston, The Loaded Chamber, and Sarah Ludwig
October 27, 2010A weak foundation cannot properly support a massive superstructure, as the leaning Tower of Pisa shows. The latest wage data show the disastrous results some of us warned about, although like the famous tower, the economy only lists badly and has not collapsed.
