- January
13, 2010: Popping Bubbles: If you're
looking for who to blame for our economic collapse,
you can start with rating agencies, SEC regulators,
the Federal Reserve, bank risk managers, the
Clinton administration, and Congress. According
to London Bureau Chief Mark Gilbert for Bloomberg
News the credit crunch is the result of a silent
conspiracy of the well rewarded.
- January
6, 2010: The Bottom Line: Professor
Tom Juravich takes us behind the wall of economic
statistics, and into the personal lives of those

wage employers. Juravich's new book is, At the
Alter of the Bottom Line.
- December

wisdom about child rearing is being challenged

time. NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children,

insightful collection of essays that examine
the new findings.
- December
16, 2009: Last week, the National Nurses
United held its founding convention, bringing
together three organizations to create the biggest
ever union of medical professionals. The union

them increased clout to advance their concerns

President, California Nurses Association, Deborah
Burger examines the background that brings about
this historical event.
- December
9, 2009: Memories of Muhammad: Recent
events have resulted in a negative view of the

fanatics. But, scholar and author Omid Safi
reveals invaluable new insights for better understanding
the founder of the world's fastest growing religion.
- December
2, 2009: Beyond War: Artist and writer
Winslow Myers has completed a new book, Living

and understanding will allow us to attain a
world without war.
- November
25, 2009: School of Hope: While public
schools were designed to be the keystone of
our democracy, most agree that they are in crisis.
Shortages of money, talent and vision hobble
their ability to be creative. One progressive
school, however, is breaking the mold. Educator
and author Dr. Rick Posner provides insights
into the inner working of Jefferson County Open
School in Colorado in his new book, Lives of
Passion, School of Hope.
- November
18, 2009: Looting: Over the past
year we've been deluged with Wall Street scandals.
We've heard the references to a casino atmosphere
within the world of high finance, and we've
seen the results. Author Los Leopold takes an
inside look at the economic collapse, and explains
the issues in plain English with his new book,
The Looting of America.
- November
11, 2009: 2012 With the release of
the thriller movie of the same title, 2012 is
suddenly the hot topic. But author and philosopher
John Major Jenkins cuts through all of the hype
in order to present a rational perspective:
one that's not often heard. It's our atavistic
lust for the doomsday scenario, Jenkins says,
coupled with a mass media willing to adopt mind
control strategies that gives us something to
fear.
- November
4, 2009: The Promise of Digital:
The dawn of the digital age once aroused our
hopes: the Internet, e-mail, blogs, and interactive:
The terms "information superhighway"
and "knowledge economy" entered the
lexicon, and we assumed that teens would use
their know-how and understanding of technology
to form the vanguard of this new, hyper-informed
era. But, English professor Mark Bauerlein writes
in The Dumbest Generation, "the intellectual
future of the United States looks dim."
- October
28, 2009: The Barbaric Heart: Author
and social critic Curtis White conjured up the
intriguing title for his latest work. In it
he argues that the problem with capitalism is
not in its sins, but in its virtues. White contends
that the virtues of capitalism stem from a very
primitive ethic: An intrinsic belief that winning,
surviving and accumulating great wealth are
just a few of its natural rewards. Rewards tragically
gained through violence.
- October
21, 2009: Tipping Point: After decades
of warning, it's finally a central topic of
discussion: Climate change. It's agreed there's
an urgent need to deal with the rising levels
of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. On October
24th, nearly 2000 events in 140 countries around
the world will dramatize this need. Retired
astrophysicist Dr. Ray Weymann provides insight
into recent changes, and the importance of acting
now.
- October
14, 2009: The Poorhouse: Many American's
are feeling the crunch of the financial problems
of the past few years, but few have put those
issues into perspective. What does this mean
for long-term debt, and potential retirement?
Founder and President of Retirement Solutions,
Jane White, is one who spends her time considering
the potential consequences. Unless reforms are
enacted, she says, 80% of Americans will be
unable to retire in the coming years.
- October
7, 2009: How Big is Small? The Obama
Administration claimed, "2008 was a record
year" for federal contracts awarded to
small businesses. Some of the firms Obama officials
counted as small business included, General
Electric, Xerox, Office Depot, Staples, Dell
Computer, and AT&T, to name just a few.
The American Small Business League (ASBL) projects
the Obama Administration may be shortchanging
middle class firms out of as much as $100 billion
a year in federal small business contracts.
- September
30, 2009: Daybreak: A talk with author
and Co-Founder of the After Downing Street Coalition
David Swanson. His latest book is, Daybreak:
Undoing the Imperial Presidency and Forming
a More Perfect Union. The book is a call for
change, to restore the rule of law. Swanson
contends that the government is more than ever
corrupted, imperial, and extremist. And, he
adds, undoing the damage will take years of
committed effort.
- September
23, 2009: Invisible History - part
2: According to journalists Elizabeth Gould
and Paul Fitzgerald, Americans have been denied

In their convincing new book, Afghanistan's
Untold Story, they tell the story of how one
landlocked nation has become the geopolitical
quagmire.

Untold Story, they tell the story of how one
landlocked nation has become the geopolitical
quagmire.
- September
9, 2009: The Policy-Speak Disaster: A keen
observer of linguistics, Berkeley professor
George Lakoff calls the Obama administration
Health Care dialog a disaster. The language
of the debate, he says, needs to resonate with
the people and inspire them to act. Lakoff's
recent book is, The Political Mind: Why You
Can't Understand 21st Century Politics with
an 18th Century Brain
- September
2, 2009: A $50 Billion Bailout: Center
for Public Integrity analyst John Dunbar looks

loan industry, and questions why those same
companies are being bailed out. More than 80%
of the subprime lenders were financed by banks
that received bailout money.
- August
26, 2009: Controlling the Debate:
Investigative reporter and author Robert Parry
traces the history of the American media from
Watergate to the health care town hall meetings
that are carefully orchestrated to provide a
predictable outcome. Parry has written extensively
about the Iran-Contra scandal. His most recent
book is, Neck Deep: The Disastrous Presidency
of George W. Bush, co-written with two of his
sons.
- August
19, 2009: The richest state in county, California,
finally passed an emergency budget revision
a few weeks ago. Among other things the bottom
line requires cuts in education and a reduction
in the prison population, but no increase in
taxes. Demos Senior Fellow Sasha Abramsky sees
this mixture as ingredients for failure: too
many special interests feeding off the public
trough.
- August
12, 2009: Target Media: Founder and
executive director of the Institute for Public
Accuracy Norman Solomon, keynote speaker at
this years Progressive Caucus, is a leading
media watchdog. A collection of Solomon's weekly
columns won the George Orwell Award for Distinguished
Contribution to Honesty and Clarity in Public
Language. The award, presented by the National
Council of Teachers of English, honored Solomon's
book "The Habits of Highly Deceptive Media."
- August
5, 2009: Myth and Money: Foreign
Exchange Strategist Marc Chandler says the current
economic downturn is not a crisis of the dollar.

about trade and the US dollar differently. In
his recent book, Making Sense of the Dollar,
Chandler concludes that the dollar will be the
key metric in the future world economy.
- July
29, 2009: God and Empire: From the

and Paul, author John Dominic Crossan reveals

violence and retribution, justice and peace,
and ultimately, redemption.
- July
22, 2009: Addicted to Sprawl: In

professor Mara Einstein observes that religion
has become yet another product sold in the marketplace.
- July
8, 2009: Clean Energy: Last week,

and Security Act," passed by a 219 to 212
vote. Research director of the Clean Vehicles
Program at the Union of Concerned Scientists,
David Friedman provides an overview of this
far reaching measure.
- July
1, 2009: The American Dream: According
to personal finance columnist and author, John
Wasik, our concept of the American dream is
at the root of our housing and financial crisis.
Wasik's most recent work, The Cul-de-Sac Syndrome,
connects the dots: Home ownership, economics
and the environment equals an unsustainable
suburban lifestyle.
- June
24, 2009: Breadline USA: Food insecurity
in America is just beginning to register with
mainstream media as a gravely serious issue.
In his exhaustive research, journalist Sasha
Abramsky advises the need to address the problem
is more necessary now that at any time since
the Great Depression.
- June
17, 2009: Israeli Policy: "The
United State does not accept the legitimacy
of continued Israeli settlements. This construction
violates previous agreements and undermines
efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these
settlements to stop." With that forceful
criticism, President Obama appears to creating
a sharp break from the policies of past administrations.
International Studies professor Stephen Zunes
says Obama has inherited a difficult challenge
in pushing Israel to end the expansion of its
illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
- June
10, 2009: A new study by the Union of Concerned
Scientists lays out a blueprint for change.
With the right policies in place, according
to Senior Engineer Jim Kliesch, the US could
dramatically cut the heat-trapping emissions
that cause global warming and, at the same time,
lower energy costs. The blueprint's transportation
policies include vehicle carbon emission standards,
and smart growth policies that would provide
better transportation choices.
- June
3, 2009: Connectivity: With the entire
world connected at every level, it's not surprising
to hear that a financial transaction in New
York affects Singapore within seconds. International
consultant Randy Charles Epping calls it "Fusion
Economics". Having a better understanding
of how the world of economics works, says Epping,
gives us greater influence over our economic
destiny.
- May
27, 2009: Molten Steel: Bay area
architect Richard Gage is calling for a new
investigation into the collapse of the World
Trade Center on 9/11, and recent findings may
support his efforts. Samples taken from the
World Trade Center collapse reportedly show
significant amounts of thermite: a substance
that causes a highly exothermic reaction that
produces molten iron. Gage is speaking at Cal
Poly this week about some new findings on the
World Trade Center collapse. He's the founder
of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
- May
20, 2009: A discussion about brain chemistry
with author and neurologist, Dr. Richard Restak.
- May
13, 2009: Perpetual Growth: If the
US continues its current course, in 40 years,
it's estimated the US population will reach
438 million. That's the equivalent of adding
all the current citizens of Mexico and Canada.
This projected population bubble, according
to some experts, will be a direct result of
the United States Congress not taking the global
and national environmental crises seriously.
- May
6, 2009: 100 Years: The Progressive
was founded by former Wisconsin congressman
and governor Robert "Fighting Bob"
La Follette. At the time, he felt that progressive
politics weren't getting a fair shake in the
"corporate media" of 1909. Editor
and author Matthew Rothschild joins a discussion
on the history and contributions of The Progressive.
- April
29, 2009: MDOs: According to the
Bureau of Justice Statistics, as many as 25
percent of prisoners require mental health services
at some time during their incarceration. Some
are subjected to forced psychiatric treatment,
and are left without someone to speak for them.
Roland Angle, Director of Operations for Families
for the Ethical Psychiatric Treatment of Patients
and Prisoners, addresses the issues surrounding
Mentally Disordered Offenders.
- April
22, 2009: Remembrance Day: Most of
us, asserts author Lane Montgomery, simply are
not aware of the scope of genocide during the
20th century. More than 70 million people have
been systematically murdered. Yet, most of the
perpetrators responsible for these horrific
killings have never been, and never will be,
brought to justice.
- April
15, 2009: A Moral Bailout: If American's
schools won't teach more skills and values,
wrote Theodor Adorno in 1967, another Auschwitz
is always possible. In his most recent work,
author and Pulitzer prize winning reporter,
Chris Hedges, ties the lesson of Adorno to the
current economic problems. Moral autonomy, he
says, is what the corporate state has set out
to destroy.
- April
8, 2009: Contradictions: Scholars
and pastors attending seminaries have known
for over 200 years that the Bible is riddled
with errors, contradictions and forgeries, yet
the general public has been left uninformed.
According to Distinguished Professor of Religious
Studies, Bart Ehrman, knowing biblical history
should not weaken our faith. Rather, it should
strengthen our understanding of civilization's
most important book.
- March
25, 2009: The Social Cause Diet: An
interview with author Gail Perry Johnston
- March
18, 2009: Mass Instruction: According
to former teacher John Taylor Gatto, America's
educational system cripples imagination, discourages
critical thinking, and creates a false view
of learning as a by-product of rote-memorization
drills. In his book, Weapons of Mass Instruction:
A Schoolteacher's Journey Through the Dark World
of Compulsory Schooling, Gatto contends the
term "education" is meaningless because
humanity is strictly limited by necessities
of biology, psychology, and theology.
- March
11, 2009: Designer Children: Growth
therapies are not just for enhanced athletic
performance. Award-winning science writers Susan
Cohen and Christine Cosgrove reveal a decades
long experimentation with pills, injections,
hormones and supplements by some doctors and
pharmaceutical companies. The purpose - to build
better children. Or, at least, better looking
children.
- March
4, 2009: Fairness: The Senate voted
last week to ban the reinstatement of the Fairness
Doctrine. The long-defunct broadcasting regulation
that was taken off the books in 1987. The ban
will also prohibit the Federal Communications
Commission from encouraging broadcasters to
air local news and information, children's programming
and public safety alerts. Executive director
of Free Press Josh Silver, says the move assures,
"that all Americans benefit when there
is diverse media ownership."
- February
25, 2009: Oil in Our Future: Fellow
at the New American Foundation, Lisa Margonelli,

oil supply and our options. Looking at alternative
fuels and energy efficiency, she cautions about
unexpected complications. Ms. Margonelli is
the author of Oil On the Brain: Petroleum's
Long Strange Trip to Your Tank.
- February
18, 2009: The biggest Ponzi scheme of all
time comes as no surprise to former Security's
and Exchange Commissioner Gary Aguirre. The
SEC conducted six investigations of failed financier
Bernard Madoff, but the investigations were
themselves, failures. A few years ago, Aguirre
was fired by the SEC because of his allegations
that the organization mishandled an investigation
of a hedge fund. The two events, he says, are
indicative of SEC policies. It's operated by
the elite, for the elite.
- February
11, 2009: Statistics and the Stimulus
Package: According to a report from the
Small Business Administration, businesses with
fewer than 20 employees account for 90 percent
of all US firms and are responsible for more
than 97 percent of all new jobs. Although the
nation's top economists agree that creating
jobs is essential to a successful stimulus plan,
neither the House, nor Senate versions of the
stimulus bill contain any provisions specifically
directed to the small businesses that create
most new jobs.
- February
4, 2009: Mortgaging Change: Modified
mortgages for troubled homeowners, lower interest
rates, housing values in flux. These and other
property related issues are discussed by Mortgage
House Division President Roxanne Carr. Ms. Carr
provides insight into the current market, and
how proposed changes impart the housing industry.
- January
28, 2009: The Norfolk Four: In his
book, The Wrong Guys, co-author Tom Wells captures
the perfect storm of accident, absurdity, and
justice gone awry. Four young men, all accused
of the same crime, have spent more than a decade
behind bars. This book by Mr. Wells and law
professor Richard Leo expose the faulty police
work and prosecutorial politics that lead to
the convictions.
- January
21, 2009: The Bubble Economy: All
of the warning signs were there for anyone who
looked. All of the indicators were on red. Yet,
the majority of our experts, says economist
Dean Baker, didn't want to see the obvious.
Baker's newest book, Plunder and Blunder, shows
how the mess was designed, and how we might
avoid becoming tar-babies.
- January
14, 2009: Gaza Alert: After an Egypt-brokered
cease-fire was not renewed by Hamas and violence
recommenced over the last few weeks, Israel
launched an offensive in Gaza killing more than
500 Palestinians. Israel justifies the bombing
and ground attack as necessary to halt Hamas'
Gaza-based bombings of Israeli civilians. Foreign
policy analyst Mark Perry discusses how US actions
now will affect future dealings with the middle
east.
- January
7, 2009: Real Wealth of Empire: As
the US teeters on the precipice of economic
disaster, commentators blame deregulated markets
and a few bad apples at the top. Are these true
indicators of misdirected policy, or are these
symptoms of deeper problems? Social scientist
and best-selling author Riane Eisler points
to a sustainable and equitable economy that
gives value to caring for our greatest economic
assets: people and our natural environment.
