NATO & G8: A View From Europe
Contrary to the myth put out by U.S. politicians and their media, NATO has long been unpopular in Europe. Far from feeling "liberated" by NATO during the Cold War, the peoples of Europe bitterly resented the U.S. and Russia contemplating using their countries as a Third World War battlefield. Today, Europeans resent their countries being dragged into a global competition between the U.S., China and Russia. Tonight's guest, Elsa Rassbach, a longtime anti-NATO activist, flew in from Germany to j...

Gay Marriage: More Broken Promises, More Money F...

Occupy Midwest & Black Mesa Water Coalition vs. ...
Coal mining is not only harmful to those who must suffer the asthma and acid rain downwind of coal-fired power plants, but the mines themselves have devastating impact on the environment. Worse, in the Southwest they are part of a racist, neocolonial project to dispossess Native American peoples of the few lands remaining to them. In this short video, we document an action by Midwest Occupy in solidarity with the Diné people.

Eyewitness Honduras: Since the U.S.-Supported Coup

In this spirit, our guest on this show, GLN's Buddy Bell, has traveled several times in solidarity tours of Honduras, a Central American country currently suffering severe human rig...

Cardinal George v. Equal Rights
With the recent victories for equal marriage rights in California and Washington state, full marriage rights for same-sex couples is finally on the legislative agenda in Springfield.
