Month: June 2009

by Kevin Barrett 6/30/2009 Douglas Rushkoff got the idea for his new book Life, Inc., after he was mugged in his own neighborhood – twice. The first time, it was a real-world mugging in the streets. Then when he wrote about it on-line, he suffered a second, virtual mugging by angry neighbors afraid his report would hurt their property values. Rushkoff had a flash of insight: His neighbors were acting like corporations, not human beings. How did the corporatocracy get this far in its quest to possess the human soul? he wondered. Out of that question grew Life, Inc., a…

As Iraq runs dry, a plague of snakes is unleashed“The Desert Horned Viper lurks in sand, only eyes, nostrils and horns above the surface…Swarms of snakes are attacking people and cattle in southern Iraq as the Euphrates and Tigris rivers dry up and the reptiles lose their natural habitat among the reed beds…six people have been killed and 13 poisoned…’People are terrified and are leaving their homes…We knew these snakes before, but now they are coming in huge numbers. They are attacking buffalo and cattle as well as people.’”http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/as-iraq-runs-dry-a-plague-of-snakes-is-unleashed-1705315.htmlIntroduction to Zahf al-Jafaf I wrote this poem in mid-August of 2001,…

Jessica McBride makes her living teaching Journalistic Ethics. That didn’t stop her from ambush-interviewing me on behalf of Karl Rove and the Republican propaganda machine, who were looking for an academic whipping-boy to discourage professors from expressing 9/11 skepticism.

The next morning, Steve Nass issued a press release calling for me to be fired…

At the invitation of the Spanish court investigating U.S. war crimes, William Pepper wrote an extensive brief on why they should target top Bush officials, not just their lawyers. It appears they have taken his advice–get ready for Nuremburg II, which, Pepper told me, will be far more important than Nuremburg I. Learn about the impending prosecution of the Bush regime, and why you need to donate NOW to the NY 9/11 Ballot Initiative! Listen to today’s amazing Fair and Balanced show. Also, don’t forget: AE911Truth TRUTH TOUR 2009 Architect Richard Gage and AE911Truth are on tour bringing truth to…

Tuesday, June 2nd, 9 – 10 a.m. Pacific/noon – 1 pm Eastern, http://www.NoLiesRadio.org: I will be interviewing Richard Falk, Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University, author or co-author of 20 books, and United Nations Special Human Rights Rapporteur for the Palestinian Territories. In 2004 Richard Falk wrote the rip-roaring introduction to David Ray Griffin‘s The New Pearl Harbor, thereby doing almost as much as Griffin himself to drastically raise the 9/11 truth movement’s respectability quotient. His most recent appearance on my radio show triggered a minor scandal when the neocon New York Sun, which apparently monitors my shows,…
