At 3:30 Phyllis Bennis is a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, and of the Amsterdam-based Transnational Institute. Her books include:
- “Understanding the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict: A Primer” &
- “Challenging Empire: How People, Governments and the UN Defy U.S. Power”.
Detaining the United Nations
Richard Falk, the UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, wasn’t allowed into Israel on a recent trip. That action fits a pattern of Israeli efforts to hide the human consequences of the siege of Gaza and of the escalating settlement expansion in the West Bank.
Phyllis Bennis is a co-founder and steering committee member of the U.S. Campaign to End Israeli Occupation, and co-chairs the UN-based civil society International Coordinating Network on Palestine.
Phyllis serves as an informal adviser to several top UN officials on Middle EAst issues.
At 4 PM Ira Chernus Professor of Religious Studies University of Colorado at Boulder
“My research focuses on the discourse of peace, war, foreign policy, and nationalism in the United States, especially during the cold war and the nuclear age, and how that discourse has affected our public culture and life up to the present.
I have published Monsters To Destroy: The Neoconservative War on Terror and Sin. It’s about the connections between conservative religion, “moral values,” and national (in)security policy in the Bush administration and among its supporters. The book is published by Paradigm Publishers.
I have written a textbook, American Nonviolence: The History of an Idea, which is now available from Orbis Books. This book covers the intellectual history of nonviolence since colonial times. It will provide useful background for understanding the antinuclear and peace movements during the cold war.
I have completed a large project on President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his impact on our discourse. Three books have come out of this project. The final volume, Apocalypse Management: Eisenhower and the Discourse of National Insecurity, was published in 2008 by Stanford University Press. This project gives special attention to Eisenhower’s policies toward, and talk about, nuclear weapons and nuclear disarmament. This continues my long-standing interest in the impact of nuclear weapons upon U.S. culture and society. I am now studying the origins of the national (in)security state during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
My op-ed columns and commentaries have been published in a wide variety of sources over the years. Now they appear most often on the websites for which I write regularly: CommonDreams, TomDispatch, AlterNet, TruthOut, Foreign Policy in Focus, and ReligionDispatches. My favorite themes include the discourse and cultural context of current political affairs; issues of war, peace, and national security; Israel and its relations with Palestinian and other neighbors; and educational issues.
Since May, 2009, I’ve been writing mostly on Israel, Palestine, and American Jews. My columns on those topics are now collected at my blog
After September 11, 2001, I wrote a lot about issues of peace, war, and security. These writings include some essays on the “war on terrorism,” which apply the findings of my research to the “war on terrorism“:
• Fighting Terrorism in the National Insecurity State
• The United States and Israel: Fighting Terror in the National Insecurity State
• “Compassionate Conservatism” Goes to War
I’ve begun to take more interest in tracking progressive or left-wing political movements in the U.S. that are rooted in faith commitments and religious institutions, because my partner, Kathy Partridge, is now director of Interfaith Funders, a network of faith-based and secular grantmakers committed to social change and economic justice.
I am also a public citizen and occasional political activist. I try to keep up with current affairs. This site offers links to some websites full of useful information.
My op-ed columns and commentaries have been published in a wide variety of sources over the years. Now they appear most often on the websites for which I write regularly: www.commondreams.org, www.tomdispatch.com, and www.alternet.org.”
Why Is Jane Fonda Being Accused Of An “Attack On The Heart and Soul Of Israel”?
By Ira Chernus, AlterNet. Posted September 10, 2009.
at 4:30pm Andre Moncourt and J.Smith are co-author/editors of “The Red Army Faction, A Documentary History Volume 1: Projectiles for the People“, published earlier this year by PM Press and Kersplebedeb Publishing.
The first in a two-volume series, this is by far the most in-depth political history of the Red Army Faction ever made available in English.
Projectiles for the People starts its story in the days following World War II, showing how American imperialism worked hand in glove with the old pro-Nazi ruling class, shaping West Germany into an authoritarian anti-communist bulwark and launching pad for its aggression against Third World nations. The volume also recounts the opposition that emerged from intellectuals, communists, independent leftists, and then – explosively – the radical student movement and countercultural revolt of the 1960s.
It was from this revolt that the Red Army Faction emerged, an underground organization devoted to carrying out armed attacks within the Federal Republic of Germany, in the view of establishing a tradition of illegal, guerilla resistance to imperialism and state repression. Through its bombs and manifestos the RAF confronted the state with opposition at a level many activists today might find difficult to imagine.
For the first time ever in English, this volume presents all of the manifestos and communiqués issued by the RAF between 1970 and 1977, from Andreas Baader’s prison break, through the 1972 May Offensive and the 1975 hostage-taking in Stockholm, to the desperate, and tragic, events of the “German Autumn” of 1977. The RAF’s three main manifestos – The Urban Guerilla Concept, Serve the People, and Black September – are included, as are important interviews with Spiegel and le Monde Diplomatique, and a number of communiqués and court statements explaining their actions.
Providing the background information that readers will require to understand the context in which these events occurred, separate thematic sections deal with the 1976 murder of Ulrike Meinhof in prison, the 1977 Stammheim murders, the extensive use of psychological operations and false-flag attacks to discredit the guerilla, the state’s use of sensory deprivation torture and isolation wings, and the prisoners’ resistance to this, through which they inspired their own supporters and others on the left to take the plunge into revolutionary action.
Drawing on both mainstream and movement sources, this book is intended as a contribution to the comrades of today – and to the comrades of tomorrow – both as testimony to those who struggled before and as an explanation as to how they saw the world, why they made the choices they made, and the price they were made to pay for having done so.

As a officiating Dudeist Priest, The Jeff Farias Show is dedicated to pacifism.
At 5 PM Flux Rostrum is an independent journalist arrested at a peaceful demonstration. He joins us to discuss these recent events, Freedom of the Press, Mountain Top Removal and Conspiracy.
FluxRostrum is a self-taught video journalist and web designer who has been producing independent video coverage of protests, political events and various non profit grassroots organizations for the last 8 years and has been traveling full time for the last 6 years. Flux worked closely with the Dennis Kucinich for his President campaign in 2004 and 1st came into notoriety as a video journalist in the months immediately following Hurricane Katrina where his videos aided in attracting volunteers and donations to several non governmental organizations while exposing the systemic corruption and racism inherent in the governments response to the disaster.
Flux’s work is a cross between News and Documentary. It’s long-form news, short-form documentary.
I do this because I feel that the news always leaves out too much information to allow people to form educated opinions and that documentaries take far too long to produce leaving the viewer with no opportunity to make an impact on the problem. My work has been featured on Democracy Now!, Free Speech TV, the Documentary Channel, Liberation Video, Of The World TV, Local News Stations across the country, Huffington Post, SubMediaTV, Prison Planet, Info Wars, We Are Change, and has been used in several independent feature length documentaries. I currently travel and work from NOmadjik, a vegetable oil powered school bus.
As a Writer/Director/Editor FluxRostrum’s digital shorts “DotCompost Heap” & “WOOD” were selected for The Malibu International Film Festival 2002, “Public Housing and Black Panthers in New Orleans” and “N.O. Evictions” were screened at the Anthology Theatre in NYC March 22nd 2006 as part of a program from Third World News Reel entitled “imMEDIAcy“.
Flux’s Video Blog “V L O G ~ F L U X” has been ranked by The Independent UK as #4 in the World Based on Content.
“Public Housing and Black Panthers in New Orleans” was also screened at the 6th annual Anarchist Film Festival May 7 2006. Many FluxRostrum Films have been aired on FreeSpeech TV as part of the Blacked Out Media show and on numerous public access channels world wide, including Manhattan Neighborhood Network and PeraltaTV. Get That Camera! has aired on FreeSpeech TV, screened at a variety of film festivals and was aired on The Documentary Channel.
Flux has worked as part of several collectives that regularly contribute footage and/or finished pieces, such as “Watch This!“, “Mandate?” & “The Iraq War 3rd Anniversary Special”, to FreeSpeech TV. Several videos from Flux’s time in Post Katrina New Orleans have been screened at Columbia University, film festivals and are available for rent on-line @ Liberation Video.
Flux has contributed protest footage to several feature films and documentaries including “the F Word“ (Tribeca Film Festival) and Still We Ride (Bike Film Festival). As well as contributing footage to Democracy Now, Deep Dish TV and French Television projects
