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 May 11, 2016 for week ending May 20, 2016

"What's important to realize is that this isn't Trump tapping into some sort of subterranean fears that nobody knew was there. This is instead, Trump taking advantage of groundwork that has been laid by the Republican party for the last 50 years."

– Ian Haney López, John H. Boalt professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, on presidential candidate Donald Trump's blatant racism

Listen to the entire program using these links, or to individual interviews via the links appearing prior to each segment description below.

Is Trump's Blatant Racism an Opportunity to Build Class Solidarity?

Interview with Ian Haney López, John H. Boalt professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, conducted by Scott Harris

Billionaire real estate developer Donald Trump – now the presumptive Republican party presidential candidate – has since he launched his campaign consistently employed racist, xenophobic and misogynist rhetoric to fire up a base made up mostly of white, middle-aged men. He has attacked Mexicans as rapists and murderers, advocated a ban on all Muslims entering the U.S. and insulted women based on sexist stereotypes. Story continues

Philadelphia Residents Protest Proposed Expansion of Fossil Fuel Refinery in Poor Neighborhood

Interview with Maxine McCleary, leader with the Philadelphia community group Action United, conducted by Melinda Tuhus

Ten days of grassroots protest actions all over the world, dubbed "Break Free from Fossil Fuels," May 6 through the 15, was organized by the climate activist group 350.org. One of the first actions was held on May 7 in Philadelphia, where Phil Rinaldi, the owner of Philadelphia Energy Solutions, or PES, wants to expand a massive oil refinery into a giant "energy hub." The project's goal is to build new pipelines and transport more oil into a residential area of Philadelphia – a low-income neighborhood where residents are mostly people of color. Story continues

With Rising Human Rights Violations in Honduras, Activists Demand Suspension of U.S. Military Aid

Interview with Alberto Saldamando, counsel to the Indigenous Environmental Network, conducted by Scott Harris

The March 3 assassination of Honduran indigenous leader Berta Cáceres, winner of the prestigious 2015 Goldman environmental prize, triggered widespread protests in the Central American country and across the globe. Cáceres, who was murdered in her home, led her indigenous Lenca people and the Civic Council of Indigenous and Popular Organizations of Honduras, or COPINH, that actively opposed the construction of the proposed Agua Zarca dam on the Gualcarque river, an area considered sacred by the Lenca. She had previously reported receiving numerous death threats from police, soldiers and local landowners because of her activism. On March 15, her colleague Nelson Garcia of COPINH was also murdered. A growing number of social justice activists, environmentalists and journalists have been killed or have disappeared since the 2009 coup in Honduras. Story continues

This week’s summary of under-reported news

MP3

Compiled by Bob Nixon

Scientists in Brazil are worried the Zika virus is more dangerous than previously thought in leading to birth defects in young children. Already the Zika outbreak, which began in Brazil and spread to over 50 countries, has been linked to microcephaly, a condition where babies are born with abnormally small heads. ("Zika virus: Risk Higher Than First Thought, Say Doctors," BBC, May 2, 2016; "'Bugged Mosquitoes' Stop Zika Spread," BBC, May 4, 2016; "Zika Virus Is Coming and We're Not Ready, U.S. Experts Say," NBC News, May 3, 2016)
General Electric is moving its corporate headquarters from suburban Fairfield, Connecticut to Boston with the enticement of $25 million in city property tax concessions and $250 million in other subsidies. ("Can Cities and States "Clawback" Their Economic Development Advantages?" The American Prospect, April 25, 2016)
There are tens of thousands of urban residents experiencing what's become known as the "middle class squeeze" in fashionable cities like San Francisco, Seattle and Boston, that have attracted tech savvy millennials seeking the good life. Public sector workers, such as teachers and police officers, face a shortage of affordable housing since rents have skyrocketed – and they're not eligible for government subsides to help pay their rent. ("US Housing Crunch: The Price Isn't Right," Christian Science Monitor, April, 24 2016)
