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.

banks

Representatives of all 50 states are negotiating with the largest U.S. banks to settle charges of improper conduct on mortgage servicing and their involvement in producing hundreds of thousands of fraudulent “robo-signed” mortgage documents. But Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, who is spearheading the investigation, has recently dismissed New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman from the 13-member executive committee guiding the negotiations, charging that Schneiderman had undermined the group’s effort to reach a settlement.  Story continues

Media ads claim that the process, known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is the "clean, safe, domestic" power of the future. But fracking – in which millions of gallons of water, a secret mix of toxic chemicals and sand are injected into wells to break apart shale and release trapped gas – has been found to pollute ground water.  Story continues

Earlier this year, Van Jones, the former Obama administration’s special adviser for Green Jobs who resigned after right-wing groups attacked his past affiliations and character, launched a new project called Rebuild the American Dream campaign. The campaign’s goal is to steer the nation away the tea party-driven austerity, tax-cut political agenda in Washington, and focus instead on strengthening working families by creating good jobs and making sure that all Americans pay their fair share of taxes.  Story continues
