Award-winning Investigative Journalist Robert Parry (1949-2018)

Award-winning investigative journalist and founder/editor of ConsortiumNews.com, Robert Parry has passed away. His ground-breaking work uncovering Reagan-era dirty wars in Central America and many other illegal and immoral policies conducted by successive administrations and U.S. intelligence agencies, stands as an inspiration to all in journalists working in the public interest.

Robert had been a regular guest on our Between The Lines and Counterpoint radio shows -- and many other progressive outlets across the U.S. over four decades.

His penetrating analysis of U.S. foreign policy and international conflicts will be sorely missed, and not easily replaced. His son Nat Parry writes a tribute to his father: Robert Parry’s Legacy and the Future of Consortiumnews.

This Week on Between The Lines

Posted Nov. 24, 2010 for week ending Dec. 3, 2010

lede

A new and dangerous
phase of the class war has begun.

After hearing the toxic rhetoric in the 2010 midterm congressional election campaign, it's more apparent than ever that some Republican politicians and their allies in right-wing media have set a goal to eliminate unemployment insurance, Medicare, food stamps, and the federally mandated minimum wage -- as well as to privatize Social Security.

It's ironic that the super-rich corporations and individuals who bankroll the Republican machine are the very same forces that caused the global economic meltdown by advocating reckless financial deregulation and billions of tax breaks for the nation's wealthiest citizens. But sadly, millions of frustrated voters, angry about obscenely high unemployment and a bad economy, were skillfully manipulated into voting against their own economic self-interest on Nov. 2nd.

Will More Progressive Voices Be Heard in 2012?

Skepticism Greets New U.S.-NATO Afghan War End Date

RealAudio RealAudio  podcast MP3

Interview with Nir Rosen, author and journalist, conducted by Scott Harris

afghan Upon the conclusion of the recent two-day NATO summit meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, President Obama and European leaders announced their agreement on a timetable that would have the U.S. and NATO countries transfer responsibility for security to Afghanistan's fledgling military and police by the end of 2014.

While Washington Dawdles, Chinese Government Subsidies Boost Green Technology

RealAudio RealAudio  podcast MP3

Interview with Dan Esty, professor of environmental law and policy at Yale University, conducted by Melinda Tuhus

chinagreen In recent years, China has become the world's leading producer of greenhouse gases -- having surpassed the U.S. in total, though not per-capita emissions. China is also the global leader in green energy technology production -- wind turbines, solar panels, transmission lines, and more -- as it moves ahead quickly to modernize its energy infrastructure. So while it's building a large number of new coal-fired power plants, the Chinese government is also providing massive subsidies to its green energy sector. Those subsidies have drawn sharp criticism from the U.S. and other countries, who say they create an uneven and unfair playing field in the international trade of green technology. Story continues

Jim Hightower Urges Progressives to Stand Up and Take Action After GOP Election Gains

Real Audio  Real Audio  podcast  MP3

Interview with Jim Hightower, radio commentator and progressive populist, conducted by Scott Harris

hightower With a major defeat for President Obama and the Democrats in the midterm congressional election, there is no shortage of politicians and commentators offering explanations for the party's historic loss of 60 seats in the House. While many interpret the election result as an angry protest against a failed economy, high unemployment and a, "throw all the bums out" mindset, others say President Obama moved too far to the left. They say that if the president doesn't quickly move to the "right" and adopt parts of the Republican agenda, he will have a hard time winning re-election in 2012. Story continues
