Green Party Presidential Candidate Cynthia McKinney speaks with Amy Goodman about the international significance of the Green Party and the responsibility the Party has to state its case and be heard. Vice-Presidential Running Mate, Rosa Clemente, who is a hip-hop activist and journalist, also spoke to Goodman about the media “whiteout”, a term used to describe the perceived suppression of the voices of people of color by media gatekeepers .

Democracy Now Focuses Conversation On Bucky’s Goal of Sustainability

Democracy Now uses a historical clip of Buckminster Fuller to launch a conversation about sustainability and energy.

According to guest Jamie Snyder, Obama and McCain support nuclear energy, despite its costs, because it’s BIG and people can grab onto the concept easily. However, the numbers on nuclear do not work out. And the cheapest way for us to gain sustainable energy is to change the way we use the energy we have.

Another guest, John Todd talks about sustainability particularly as it relates to restoring the damaged lands of the Appalachian Mountains, using “New Economy”. Social, economic and environmental justice figure high in his solutions.

Congress to Grant Immunity to Telecoms

In a hurry to take their summer recess, the Democrats have capitulated again to the Republicans.

Democracy Now reports:

Leaders in the Democratic-controlled House and Senate have agreed to rewrite the nation’s surveillance laws and to give what amounts to legal immunity to phone companies that took part in the Bush administration’s secret domestic surveillance program. The bill has been described as the most significant revision of surveillance law in three decades. The legislation gives the government new powers to eavesdrop on both domestic and international communications. One provision would allow the government to wiretap Americans for up to a week without a court order. The House is expected to approve the measure today. The Senate will vote next week. Several prominent Democratic Senators criticized the bill. Senator Russ Feingold said, “The proposed FISA deal is not a compromise; it is a capitulation.”
