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.

"So I think it's very reasonable for people who are working for Bernie to ask, 'What's the Plan B? What do we do if he loses?' It's not a threatening question to me. It's simply a good, solid, American pragmatic question, because there needs to be a Plan B."

– George Lakey, activist and author, considers the options for Bernie Sanders supporters if their candidate doesn't win the Democratic party nomination

Bernie Sanders' Supporters Should Have a Plan B: Build a Movement

MP3 Interview with George Lakey, author, activist and co-founder of Earth Quaker Action Group, conducted by Scott Harris

bernie

After months of daily polling, endless live TV coverage of Donald Trump rallies and commentators holding forth on the top candidates' every word, Iowans cast ballots in the state's caucuses on Feb. 1, the nation's first real test of voter sentiment. While Ted Cruz defied polls to win the Republican caucuses, beating Trump by less than 4 percentage points, the candidates in the Democratic race fought the election out to a virtual tie. After almost an entire day waiting for a final tally, Hillary Clinton emerged the victor by the narrowest of margins, beating independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont by less than four Iowa delegates out of a total of slightly more than 1,397.  Story continues

Connecticut Moves to Reform Cash Bail System for Low-level Defendants

MP3 excerpt of speech by David McGuire, legislative and policy director of the ACLU of Connecticut, speaking at Yale Law School "Pay or Stay" forum, recorded and produced by Melinda Tuhus

bail

On Jan. 27, the Connecticut chapter of the ACLU held a forum at Yale Law School, titled, "Pay or Stay," a reference to Connecticut's system of cash bail that, if a defendant can't pay it, requires that person to stay in jail while awaiting a resolution to their case. That resolution, in almost all cases, is a plea deal rather than a trial, and data reveals that defendants who are held in jail have worse outcomes than those who are free on bond or released on their own recognizance.  Story continues

Courageous Public Land Advocates Confronted Armed Militia Group That Took Over Oregon Wildlife Refuge

MP3 Interview with Kieran Suckling, executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity, conducted by Scott Harris

militia

In early January, dozens of men and woman – part of an armed militia group – took over the headquarters buildings of the federal Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Oregon. Among this group were Ammon and Ryan Bundy, sons of Nevada ranger Cliven Bundy, who recruited members of armed militia groups from around the country to defy the federal law enforcement officers attempting to collect unpaid cattle grazing fees in 2014.  Story continues
