| Sarah Posner Comments on Iowa Straw Poll & the GOP Presidential Race | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 15 Aug 2011 DemocracyNow.org - The race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination heated up this weekend as Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll and Texas Gov. Rick Perry formally announced his candidacy. Bachmann led the Iowa contest with more than 4,800 votes out of almost 17,000 votes cast, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul placed a close second. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty placed a distant third, and on Sunday he announced he was leaving the presidential race. Democracy Now! speaks with Sarah Posner, senior editor of Religion Dispatches, who spent the weekend covering the poll in Iowa for The Nation magazine. "Bachmann is much more than the rest of them going to use the language, rhetoric and ideology she learned at Oral Roberts [University] to meld the fiscal conservatives small government message with her religious message," Posner says. | |

| Chris Woods on Report: Drone War Exposed: The Complete Picture of CIA Strikes in Pakistan | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 15 Aug 2011 DemocracyNow.org - A new report from a team of British and Pakistani journalists finds one U.S. drone strike occurs every four days in Pakistan. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism estimates U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan have killed as many as 775 civilians, including 168 children, since 2004. The report also challenges a recent claim by President Obama's top counter-terrorism adviser, John Brennan, that no civilians have been killed in the drone attacks for nearly a year. According to the Bureau's researchers, at least 45 civilians were killed in 10 U.S. attacks during the last year. Democracy Now! interviews Chris Woods, an award-winning reporter who leads the drones investigation team for The Bureau of Investigative Journalism in London. | |

| Neo-colonization, Globalization and The End of Poverty: Featuring Joseph Stiglitz and Chalmers Johnson; narrated by Martin Sheen | |
| Uploaded by NewVideoDigital on 14 Dec 2010 Available on iTunes: http://www.iTunes.com/Movies/TheEndofPoverty Global poverty did not just happen. It began with military conquest, slavery and colonization that resulted in the seizure of land, minerals and forced labor. Today, the problem persists because of unfair debt, trade and tax policies — in other words, wealthy countries taking advantage of poor, developing countries. Renowned actor and activist, Martin Sheen, narrates THE END OF POVERTY?, a feature-length documentary directed by award-winning director, Philippe Diaz, which explains how today's financial crisis is a direct consequence of these unchallenged policies that have lasted centuries. Consider that 20% of the planet's population uses 80% of its resources and consumes 30% more than the planet can regenerate. At this rate, to maintain our lifestyle means more and more people will sink below the poverty line. Filmed in the slums of Africa and the barrios of Latin America, THE END OF POVERTY? features expert insights from: Nobel prize winners in Economics, Amartya Sen and Joseph Stiglitz; acclaimed authors Susan George, Eric Toussaint, John Perkins, Chalmers Johnson; university professors William Easterly and Michael Watts; government ministers such as Bolivia's Vice President Alvaro Garcia Linera and the leaders of social movements in Brazil, Venezuela, Kenya and Tanzania. It is produced by Cinema Libre Studio in collaboration with the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation. Can we really end poverty within our current economic system? Think again. Director: Philippe Diaz | |
