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.

"The military is very opposed to the (leftist) Libre party with (Salvador) Nasrallas' victory, which can potentially be back in power in the government and the military won't want to see that. And they may act again as they acted in 2009 to prevent that from happening. "

– Alex Main, senior associate for International Policy at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, on the possibility of a military coup should the opposition candidate and his party regain power

Fraud Could Deny Honduran Voters' Apparent Rejection of Unpopular Incumbent President

MP3 Interview with Alex Main, senior associate for International Policy at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, conducted by Scott Harris

honduras

Pollsters and pundits had predicted that the Honduras’ Nov. 26 presidential election would maintain the status quo, with incumbent conservative president Juan Orlando Hernandez easily winning re-election. But it appears that voters had a different outcome in mind. Opposition candidate Salvador Nasralla, one of the nation’s best-known television personalities, was holding a 5-point lead over Hernandez before the nation’s Supreme Electoral Tribunal stopped announcing vote totals with 57 percent of the ballots counted. Both candidates have claimed victory.  Story continues

A 'Women's Solidarity Network' Could Provide Support for Victims of Sexual Harassment

MP3 Interview with Barbara Maclean, founder of the group Planning Beyond Capitalism, conducted by Scott Harris

women

The explosion of public accusations denouncing perpetrators of sexual harassment over recent weeks has provoked a national dialogue and debate on how society should address the ancient scourge of male sexual aggression and violence. The powerful men named have come from the worlds of movie making, media, business, sports and politics. While movie producer Harvey Weinstein was the subject of early attention for his long history of predatory behavior, soon other well-known men were named, including actors Kevin Spacey, talk show host Charlie Rose, comedian Louis C.K., Democratic Sen. Al Franken and Michigan Rep. John Conyers.  Story continues
