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 Oct. 18, 2017 for week ending Oct. 27, 2017

"All this has done is just sap our credibility and sapped our leverage to be able to ask for anything now that we're not a trustworthy actor. It's extremely damaging to diplomacy and puts the U.S. in the position of the only tool that you can actually view as credible is military force."

– Jamal Abdi, policy director with the National Iranian American Council, on Trump's decertification of the international Iran Nuclear Agreement

Trump's Decertification of Iran Nuclear Deal Isolates and Weakens U.S.

Interview with Jamal Abdi, policy director with the National Iranian American Council, conducted by Scott Harris

President Donald Trump announced on Oct. 13 that he is formally “decertifying” the international nuclear agreement with Iran. While Trump has stated that “The Iran deal was one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States ever entered into,” he declined to terminate the Iran nuclear agreement. Instead, he moved the issue to Congress, where legislators will engage in a 60-day period of debate on whether or not to re-impose economic sanctions against Iran that had been in effect before the nuclear deal was signed in 2015. Re-imposition of the sanctions will effectively withdraw the U.S. from the nuclear agreement. Story continues

With Obamacare Subsidy Cut, Trump Will Raise Insurance Premiums, Reduce Coverage

Interview with Eagan Kemp, health care policy advocate with Public Citizen, conducted by Scott Harris

After several major attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, President Trump issued two executive orders on Oct. 12 with the stated goal of dismantling his predecessor’s landmark healthcare legislative achievement. The first executive order asks the Labor Department to loosen rules that permit small companies to form associations and buy the kind of coverage available to larger businesses. These plans would have lower standards and cover far fewer healthcare costs. The second executive order ends $9 billion in subsidies paid under the Obamacare program to reduce the cost of health insurance for low-income Americans. Ironically, nearly 70 percent of those benefiting from subsidies cut by the president live in states Trump won in the 2016 presidential election. Story continues

Trump Guts Obamacare Birth Control Mandate in Another Blow to Reproductive Rights

Interview with Laurie Sobel, associate director of women's health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, conducted by Melinda Tuhus

In early October, the Trump administration announced a major rollback in coverage under the Affordable Care Act, which the Republican-dominated Congress has so far failed to repeal. Under the ACA, a suite of more than a dozen birth control options were required to be made available at no cost for women to choose the method best for them. That element of Obamacare was immediately challenged in court based on the argument that employers should not be forced to provide birth control if they objected based on their religious beliefs. A convoluted system was later devised to respond to those concerns, which allowed women to receive the birth control insurance coverage they needed. Story continues

This week’s summary of under-reported news

MP3

Compiled by Bob Nixon

The government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is waging an active campaign to discredit a new global estimate of modern slavery developed by the International Labor Organization, the International Organization for Migration and the Australia based Walk Free Foundation. The recently published reports estimate that 40 million people across the globe are victims of forced labor, forced marriage and human trafficking. The research found that over 60 percent of the victims of slavery live in the Asia-Pacific region. ("U.N. Denies India Singled Out Over Slavery Estimates," Reuters, Oct. 6, 2017; "India Slammed for Slavery, We Need to Counter: IB to Govt," Indian Express, Oct. 4, 2017)
Under intense pressure to end Chicago’s epidemic of violence, politicians and federal law enforcement agencies waged a new campaign against street level gun dealers. The new drive used paid informants who set up gun deals that entrapped numerous inner-city residents for selling guns. ("How Chicago Gets Its Guns," ProPublica Illinois, Oct. 10, 2017)
Amid the fury of recent hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, Louisiana had made substantial investments in coastal land protection. This includes developing a new coastal floodgate system of levees and locks to protect Terrebonne Parish from storm surges. It’s one of the costliest infrastructure projects made without the aid of US government funding. ("In Race against Rising Seas, Louisiana Scrambles to Save Dwindling Coast," Christian Science Monitor, Aug. 3, 2017)
