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.

"There has not been one president who has been this erratic, this impulsive, this uninformed, this easily baited. This vindictive. Somebody who many psychologists have said, is arguably, mentally ill."

–Mark Hertsgaard, investigative editor at large for The Nation magazine and the author of seven books, including, "Bravehearts: Whistle-Blowing in the Age of Snowden," on the reality of a nuclear threat under Donald Trump and what you can do

No Institutional Safeguards Stand Between Donald Trump and Nuclear War

Interview with Mark Hertsgaard, investigative editor at large for The Nation magazine and the author of seven books, including, "Bravehearts: Whistle-Blowing in the Age of Snowden", conducted by Scott Harris

Before the media spotlight shifted away from the dangerous war of words between Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to the tragic events in Charlottesville, the nation and the world had become alarmed at the apparent threat of a nuclear confrontation on the Korean peninsula. Not since the days of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union had any two nations rattled their nuclear armed sabers at each other in such a dangerous fashion. Story continues

DOJ Demands Data on Visitors to Anti-Trump Protest Website

Interview with Chip Gibbons, policy and legislative director with the group, Defending Rights and Dissent, conducted by Scott Harris

The Justice Department, under U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, is demanding data from a webhosting company on more than 1.3 million IP addresses, as well as the email addresses and photos of thousands of people who had visited a website that organized protests at Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration in Washington, D.C. A search warrant was approved by Judge Robert Wertheim. Story continues

Community Groups Join Forces to Make New Haven, CT a Leading U.S. Sanctuary City

Interview with John Jairo Lugo, a founder of New Haven, CT’s grassroots immigrant rights group Unidad Latina en Accion, conducted by Melinda Tuhus

This summer, New Haven, Connecticut has welcomed undocumented immigrants from two different countries that have taken sanctuary in two city churches. New Haven, a city of 130,000 and home of Yale University, was the first municipality in the country to grant resident ID cards regardless of citizenship in 2007. Nury Chavarria, a Guatemalan refugee and mother of four who lived in Norwalk, Connecticut, sought sanctuary in New Haven on July 21 after Immigration and Customs Enforcement ordered her deportation. She took refuge in the city’s la Iglesia de Dios Pentecostal Church. After five days, ICE issued a stay of deportation allowing her attorney to appeal her case, and allowing Chavarria to return to her family and job. Story continues

This week’s summary of under-reported news

MP3

Compiled by Bob Nixon

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs escalated when police carried out a deadly raid on the home of Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog’s on the island of Mindanao. The late-night raid killed the mayor, his wife, brother, sister and his security guards. The Mayor of Ozamiz was among 150 Philippine government officials including mayors, judges and police officers that Duterte had linked with the drug trade. Since Duterte was sworn in as president last July, over 7,000 people have been killed in his violent campaign against drugs, including two other mayors. ("Philippine Police Killed a Mayor and Much of His Family. Was It a Raid Gone Wrong, or a Massacre?" Los Angeles Times, Aug. 7, 2017; "Philippines Sees Bloodiest Day in Its Deadly War on Drugs," New York Post, Aug. 16, 2017)
Indian and Chinese soldiers briefly clashed in the disputed Kashmir region of the Himalayas in mid August, with soldiers throwing stones at each other near Pangong Lake, a major tourist destination. Indian Police officials told the Guardian newspaper that summer clashes were relatively common along the de facto border known as the Line of Actual Control, but this season's conflict has been prolonged. ("Indian and Chinese Troops Clash in Disputed Himalayan Border Region," The Guardian, Aug. 16, 2017; "A Himalayan Spat between China and India Evokes Memories of War," The Economist, July 29, 2017; "What's behind the India-China Border Stand-Off?" BBC, July 5, 2017)
The rally of white supremacists, neo-Nazis and militia groups in Charlottesville, Virginia, that resulted in the death of anti-racist protester Heather Heyer, was the largest gathering of the far right in a generation. Far right extremist groups, which fragmented in the in the aftermath of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing carried out by rightwing terrorist Timothy McVeigh that killed 168, are eager to display a new clean "frat boy" image which was on display during the Tiki Torch light march in Charlottesville on the University of Virginia campus. ("A New Generation of White Supremacists Emerges in Charlottesville," Pro Publica, Aug. 13, 2017; "Organizer of Charlottesville White Nationalist Rally Has Maine Roots," Bangor Daily News, Aug. 15, 2017)
