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.

Posted Jan. 31, 2018

"The world's 42 richest people have the same wealth as the poorest half of the planet, which is 3.7 billion people. And in 2017, 82 percent of the wealth generated went to the richest 1 percent, while the poorest half of the world saw no increase in their wealth."

– Paul O'Brien, vice president for policy and advocacy with Oxfam America, on some of the main findings in the Oxfam report, "Reward Work, Not Wealth"

Oxfam Reports the World's Top 1% Captured 82% of Global Wealth Created in 2017

Interview with Paul O'Brien, vice president for policy and advocacy with Oxfam America, conducted by Scott Harris

A recently published report titled, "Billionaire Bonanza 2017: The Forbes 400 and the Rest of Us," exposes the extreme wealth concentrated within the fortunes of the 400 wealthiest Americans compared to the much more meager assets of working families. This is yet another piece of evidence confirming the decades-long trend of growing income inequality in the U.S. According to economists, that inequality will be greatly exacerbated by the new Republican tax reform legislation which was recently signed into law by President Trump.

Planned Appalachian Petrochemical Storage Hub Threatens to Create a New 'Cancer Alley'

Interview with Robin Blakeman, project coordinator with the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition, conducted by Melinda Tuhus

For decades, dozens of petrochemical companies have built their plants along the Mississippi River in Louisiana between Baton Rouge and the Gulf. These facilities are located right next to neighborhoods and belch out all kinds of toxic emissions. Not coincidentally, that strip is known as “Cancer Alley,” due to the higher rates of cancer among residents who live there. Story continues

Disbanded Trump 'Voter Fraud' Commission Moves to Department of Homeland Security

Interview with Greg Palast, investigative journalist and author, conducted by Scott Harris

Not long after Donald Trump won the presidential election through an Electoral College majority, he falsely claimed that he had lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by some 3 and has been repudiated by both Republican and Democratic state officials, the lie was a central rationale used to justify an executive order establishing the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. The commission was chaired by Vice President Mike Pence and its vice chair, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, was well known as the architect of voter suppression laws adopted by GOP-controlled states across the U.S. Story continues

United Nations peacekeepers are returning to a rebel-held area in wartorn South Sudan known as Akobo, to protect civilians from attacks by government troops. This comes as the government of South Sudan is facing increased pressure to observe a Christmas ceasefire, which had been quickly broken. ("UN Troops Returning to only Base in Rebel-Held South Sudan," AP, Jan. 23, 2018; "South Sudan Ceasefire Body Says Leaders Breaking Peace Deal Could Face Sanctions," Reuters, Jan. 25, 2018)
In the early days of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, or CFPB, the agency launched an investigation into the World Finance company, a subprime lender, for charging interest rates over 200 percent and trapping low income customers into cycles of debt, enticing many to renew the loans over and over. The South Carolina-based company serves over 800,000 customers in the installment loan industry. ("Newly Defanged, Top Consumer Protection Agency Drops Investigation of High-Cost Lender," ProPublica, Jan. 23, 2018)
In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, immigrant workers from El Salvador, Honduras and Mexico came to Houston to find work in the cleanup of thousands of flood damaged homes. Yet day laborers enjoy little job security and were vulnerable to working in unhealthy conditions such as homes inundated with mold. Meanwhile, labor organizers have offered workshops to stop wage theft and provide health and safety training. ("Houston Is Being Rebuilt on a Foundation of Wage Theft," In These Times, Jan. 22, 2018)
