David interviews historian Eduardo Galeano - Robin Collier photo

Barsamian will explore the history of U. S. imperialism and predatory capitalism and the “Obama Doctrine” in relation to traditional U.S. rules of engagement, and mass media's role in drumming up support for violent means to uncertain ends.

Barsamian sets the historical context of U. S. complicity in the death squads of the mid 1960’s in Indonesia revealed in “The Act of Killing,” the chilling documentary film screened at the Harwood, Oct. 24/25. Does this complicity continue to this day?

Capitalism & the Environment

Saturday October 25. 2013 3:30-4:30
with Clayton Thomas-Muller

David will speak at the Four Bridges Conference at Northern College with keynote by Vandana Shiva.

Sure we have Earth Day, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act and the Environmental Protection Agency. Still, the threat to our environment is acute and growing. The majority of solutions on offer, from driving a hybrid, to recycling plastic, to using efficient light bulbs, focus on individual lifestyle choices of mostly privileged people. But the scale of the crisis requires a far deeper and fundamental transformation. As global warming accelerates, carbon-fueled industrial capitalism is systemically incapable of making the necessary radical changes to protect the planet. Its insatiable appetite for profits precludes it from doing so. It is time to think about a different economic system.

One of America's most tireless and wide-ranging investigative journalists, David Barsamian has altered the independent media landscape, both with his weekly radio show Alternative Radio-now in its 26th year-and with his books with Noam Chomsky, Eqbal Ahmad, Howard Zinn, Tariq Ali, Arundhati Roy and Edward Said. His latest book of interviews with Noam Chomsky is How the World Works. Barsamian, who was deported from India last fall due to his reporting on Kashmir and other revolts, discusses world affairs, the state of journalism, censorship, the economic crisis and global rebellions.

The Guardian UK: Arundhati Roy: The Dead Begin to Speak up in India
Roy speaks out about David Barsamian's deportation from India and the killing by the Indian government of thousands in Kashmir and among the Adivasi peoples in India. Ignore the rabid comments by wealthy Indians attacking David & Arundahti Roy.

Founder of Alternative Radio and good friend of CE, was deported from India on Sep 23, on has arrival for 3 weeks of interviews on Kashmir and India. Indian officials claimed he had violated his tourist visa by doing interviews in his previous trip, even though he was paid by no one for his reporting, and has done such reporting for decades. His interviews and articles have exposed the oppressive conditions in Kashmir, and the extreme fate of tribal peoples in India. Arundhati Roy is preparing an article on this of censorship by the so-called democracy of India. Here is David on events in Kashmir recorded March 2011 7:23.

59 95 98 noted Indian and International Intellectuals including Noam Chomsky have signed a letter of protest about David's deportation They ask that the ban on David Barsamian and others like Richard Shapiro (deported in Nov 2010) be revoked, and the Government of India not impede their return to India. Call for protest letters by Matthew Rothschild Editor of The Progressive
