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 really was a dreadful decision that's going to do real harm to real people by rolling back protections against racial discrimination that have been absolutely central to the progress we've made as a nation in protecting the right to vote."
– Brenda Wright, vice president of Legal Strategies at Demos, on the Supreme Court ruling striking down a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act on June 25

PodcastResponse to High Court's Gutting of Voting Rights Act: "Don't Mourn, Organize!"
Interview with Brenda Wright, vice president of Legal Strategies at Demos, conducted by Scott Harris
With their narrow 5 to 4 ruling on the constitutionality of the 1965 Voting Rights Act on June 25, the majority conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court effectively gutted the landmark civil rights legislation designed to prevent discrimination against the nation’s minority voters. Specifically, the court ruling challenged the formula in Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act that determined the list of states and other jurisdictions mandated to receive special scrutiny of any proposed changes in their voting laws. Striking down the section 4 formula, the Supreme Court decision in effect invalidated Section 5 of the civil rights legislation, which required pre-clearance of new voting laws in jurisdictions with a documented history of discrimination, protecting voters’ rights before they are violated on election day. Now it’s up to Congress to replace the formula struck down by the court. Story continues

This summer is witnessing stepped-up opposition to the use of fossil fuels by many communities and activists around the country. According to the world’s scientists, the continued exploitation of oil, coal and natural gas will eventually heat up the planet climate to the point of no return, where life on earth will be in endangered.

Beltway Corporate Media Elite Attack Fellow Journalists for Revealing Government Secrets
Interview with Jeff Cohen, director of the Park Center for Independent Media at Ithaca College, conducted by Scott Harris
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, stranded in a transit terminal at Moscow’s International airport, continues to seek political asylum outside the United States as the Obama administration pressures nations around the world to deny his request for refuge reportedly made to 20 governments. Last month, Snowden revealed details the U.S. government’s previously unknown massive collection of domestic and overseas phone and Internet communications. The Obama administration has responded to the unauthorized revelations by filing charges against the 30-year-old former technical assistant for the CIA and recent employee of a government defense contractor with three felonies: espionage, theft and conversion of government property. Story continues
This week’s summary of under-reported news
Compiled by Bob Nixon
- During the last two years, over 100 Tibetans have set themselves on fire in protest against China’s repression of Tibetan Buddhism and banning the return of the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. But with the installation of a new leader in Beijing, Xi Jinping, there is now talk of implementing a less harsh policy toward the Dalai Lama and his followers. ("Bold New Proposals," Economist, June 22, 2013)
- Hopes were high with the launch of the Democratic Party’s “Battleground Texas” campaign, a long-term, base-building initiative by Team Obama to turn Texas from dark red to blue. The key goal of the campaign is to register and mobilize the growing Latino population in a state where the last Democratic win in a statewide election came in 1996. ("Texas Tough: Can Obama’s Whiz Kids lead a democratic revival in the ultimate red state," American Prospect, May/June 2013,)
- Fifty years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court banned school sponsored prayer. But, today, religion of various denominations have a presence in public schools through student clubs and outreach ministries. What began as a push by evangelical Christians, has been joined by Jews, Muslims, agnostic, humanist and interfaith groups. ("Was God expelled?" Christian Science Monitor, June 17, 2013)
