• Information Sources 

  • Robert Fisk Web site, dedicated to his articles and views: http://www.robert-fisk.com/  Robert Fisk is Britain’s most highly decorated foreign correspondent. He has received the British International Journalist of the Year award seven times, most recently in 1995 and 1996. His specialty is the Middle East, where he has spent the last twenty-three years. Currently the Beirut correspondent for the London Independent, Fisk has covered the Iranian revolution, the Iran-Iraq war, the Persian Gulf war, and the conflict in Algeria. He is the author of Pity the Nation: Lebanon at War (Atheneum, 1990), and his reporting from Lebanon has brought him international attention. He was the one who broke the story about the Israeli shelling of the U.N. compound in Qana, Lebanon, in 1996.  Fisk visited Madison, Wisconsin, in April to give two lectures on the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. He brought with him film footage of the Qana shelling, as well as footage of an Israeli bombing of a Lebanese ambulance carrying fourteen people. He showed a film he made about Palestinians who had lost their homes when Israel became a state. He also showed interviews with Jews who lost family members in Nazi concentration camps, and he went to Auschwitz to show where the Holocaust took place. In one of his lectures, he made a special point of taking on those who deny the truth of the Holocaust.

• Orion Magazine: http://www.oriononline.org/.  Since 1982, Orion has worked to reconnect human culture with the natural world, blending scientific thinking with the arts, engaging the heart and mind, and striving to make clear what we all have in common.   Orion publishes the work of the writers who are shaping a relationship between nature and a new emerging cultural ethic -- Barbara Kingsolver, Gary Paul Nabhan, Sandra Steingraber, David Quammen, Richard Nelson, Terry Tempest Williams, Barry Lopez, Robert Michael Pyle, Thomas Moore, David James Duncan, Wendell Berry, Scott Russell Sanders, Ann Zwinger -- as well many new voices.  Orion also includes powerful visual images that blur the boundaries between the human and the natural, and challenge us to see our world from new perspectives. Each issue includes portfolios of paintings and photographs from artists like Frans Lanting, Galen Rowell, Sonya Bullaty, Wolf Kahn, Forrest Moses, and Andy Goldsworthy.

• NYS S.2996:    a dangerous erosion of civil liberties, this bill and its companion in the assembly, A.4883, would redefine environmental and animal rights activists as terrorists with draconian consequences.  The language is so broad that even camping would become a protected activity.  These bills and others like them are crafted and distributed by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) a right wing ideologically driven organization with corporate funding from the extractive industries -- which explains why the bill identifies those opposed to logging and mining as terrorists. ALEC feeds member legislators around the country "model bills" which would undermine environmental regulations as well as advance other elements of its conservative/corporate agenda.

The autonomy of state and local governments continues to wane as corporations grow larger and gain more extensive rights under the U.S. Constitution. An increasing number of Americans have begun to consider a whole range of single-issue cases as examples of "corporate rule," with government merely enforcing rules defined by corporations for profit. But in communities across the country a revolt is underfoot that has corporations reeling.  http://www.oriononline.org/pages/om/03-6om/Kaplan.html

  • We are two "Old Dogs" who are very worried about the state of the world, and greatly saddened by the enormous amount of suffering we see all around us.
    
    It is clear that the solutions to the problems that are ruining our world will not come from political leaders. They owe too much to corporate power, and they have lost their ability to inspire us. We believe that change, if it is to come at all, will have to come from ordinary citizens who wake up to what’s really happening, and say, “Enough!”
    
    The films that we are offering are catalysts for this kind of awareness. We invite you to watch them, and show them to your friends. We will be happy to provide resource material, to answer your questions and to suggest ways of using the films in your communities.
    
    Thank You
    Anne Macksoud and John Ankele

He photographed through color filters onto triple-frame glass negatives, producing images that could be printed or projected in color. In response to researcher interest, the Library of Congress contracted with Blaise Agüera y Arcas to make digital color composites of all the negatives through an automated process. A description of the process is available at: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/pp/prokhtml/prokcompos.html.

Our educational materials are designed to support reconciliation, nonviolence and an appreciation for the value of indigenous and folk wisdom for contemporary times. // Through a video interview series with older peace and justice activists; an accompanying curriculum; workshops and training in compassionate leadership development; and a public symposium series, the Project emphasizes grassroots resources for social change from the wisdom of varied local communities. We document and share the transformative histories of“long distance runners” for peace and justice– passing on the values, faith and practices that have guided their lives and work.
