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.

"These spaces were very important to bring together people across society ... That's a huge threat to the state because it brings questions, actions and public rage."

– Sandy Nurse, an activist with the Occupy Wall Street movement, commenting on the Jan. 28 police suppression of Occupy Oakland's attempt to claim a vacant city building for use as a community center and organizing hub. Four hundred activists were arrested.

birthcontrol

In late January, the Obama administration issued a ruling that religious institutions serving the public, such as schools and hospitals, must provide their employees with access to birth control through employee health plans with no deductibles or co-pays, as part of the President’s Affordable Care Act health reform law. However, the ruling provides an exemption for employees of churches and other houses of worship, and allows these institutions an extra year to comply.  Story continues

oakland

As police suppression of the Occupy Wall Street movement proceeded with evictions of activists from public spaces over the past several months, the movement has continued organizing protests highlighting the issues of economic inequality, while targeting big banks and attempting to stop home foreclosures. In some cases, Occupy activists have employed direct action to reclaim public space lost, as happened in December when an unsuccessful effort was launched to occupy Duarte Square in New York City, resulting in some 50 arrests.  Story continues
