Trials of Henry Kissinger Excellent documentary, originally released ten years ago, and based on a Christopher Hitchens book on the same subject. It looks at Kissinger’s considerable involvement in the Vietnam war, and the horrific bombardment of Cambodia, and subsequent association with the Indonesian invasion of East Timor, and also the coup overthrowing Allende in Chile. It’s...

– Larry Siems, in Slate, details what he found as he read 140,000 declassified documents, which show how the US tortured prisoners in it’s captivity since 9/11.   The declassified documents came: Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit—a lawsuit the New York Times has called“among the...

Some grim realism from The Atlantic regarding the fiscal situation in Europe. It’s hard to be optimistic.

The Kony2012 video which is currently going viral is the slickest and best (and probably most costly) activism video I’ve ever seen. Most NGO’s would do anything for a campaign video even half as effective. While I would wonder how ethical it is spending so much on the film, it is excellent, and in the space of a few days Joseph Kony has become very well know, beyond demographics...

Palestinian rights defender banned from traveling... →
I was happy to see that director of respected Palestinian human rights organisation Al Haq, Shawan Jabarin, was permitted recently by the Israeli authorities to leave the West Bank for the first time in six years. In 2006 Israel imposed a travel ban on him, based on “secret evidence” which neither Jabarin nor his lawyers have had access to. I had the privilege to meet Shawan shortly...

Collapse of the Celtic Tiger - People & Power - Al... →
Collapse of the Celtic Tiger This documentary aired on Al Jazeera a little while ago. It covers how Ireland went from boom to bust in a few short years, and how the economic crash is impacting the people. Worth watching, and makes one question why the Irish taxpayers are continuing to pay the Anglo bondholders.
