I get most of my news from "
Democracy Now!", a free, independent new organization that cuts through the normal media spin, hype and sensationalism to provide the facts, from a broader point of view than a few media moguls in the US.
The most recent podcast that I downloaded features an hour long speech by eminient historian and social activist,
Howard Zinn. Howard Zinn has written many books, his most well-known being, "
A People's History of the United States". The following talk was his first since the historic win of Barack Obama as President of the United States of America. You can't help but listen to him and be inspired. He offers a passionate review of the history of empires, the wall street bailout, wars, patriotism and the so called "American exceptionalism" as well as a different (egalitarian) way forward; peace and social justice.
Please take a look. You won't regret it.
Peace,
Grant
