DESCRIPTION - IN THIS ISSUE - THE MURDER OF HISTORY by Eqbal Ahmad. This century has been marked by unrecorded holocausts justified by the Cold War. With allies such as Israel, the U.S. continues to violate the dream of peace in the Middle East. There, as elsewhere, the decisive issue has always been control of resources; LA: THE FIRE THIS TIME by Mike Davis. Blacks, Latinos, and even some Whites rebelled against economic and political repression. Dozens died, hundreds were deported, and tens of thousands were arrested. The aggressive, high tech crackdown was federalized in 48 hours; repression got a shot in the arm; NUCLEAR THREATS-NEW WORLD ORDER by Michio Kaku. Despite the announced end of the arms race, the world is more dangerous. While the U.S. claims the right to enforce nuclear nonproliferation to its New World Order demons, it selectively dispenses bomb technology to its friends; U.N.: WASHINGTON'S CAPTIVE TOOL by Phyllis Bennis. Dissatisfaction and grumbling among Third World members echoes through the U.N. corridors. In the official body, the U.S. still uses bribes, threats and humanitarian to coerce complicity with its unipolar vision while Boutros-Ghali toes the line; DISSENT AS CRIMINAL SUBVERSION by Chip Berlet. What signs to watch for: When the government casts dissenters as a clear and present danger, as it did in the cases of the National Lawyers Guild, certain environmental groups and radical gay/lesbian movements, intelligence abuse and repression follows closely behind; TARGETING ENVIRONMENTALISTS by Sheila O'Donnell. A Florida woman fighting Procter and Gamble toxic wastes is savagely beaten while her attackers remain at large. This case is increasingly typical of what is happening around the country when activists organize against poisonous industrial giants; U.S. ECONOMY: THE ENEMY WITHIN by Doug Henwood. A 40-year old U.S. document laid out plans for world dominance through global military mobilization, suppression of domestic dissent, and the destruction of the Soviet Union. The planners got everything they wished for, but now their dream is turning sour; SPECIAL PRE-ELECTION FEATURE: BUSH - FAMILY THAT PREYS TOGETHER by Jack Colhoun. The Bush men loot and pillage from D.C. to Dallas, from Bahrain to China. To them, the spoils of board room, regulatory agency, family enclave, and covert activities are all business as usual; BUSH AND CIA: COMPANY OF FRIENDS by Anthony L. Kimety. Government employees are usually pensioned off after 20 years. Strong evidence suggests that George Bush has put in 45 years of loyal service to the CIA, and has profited from shady oil deals and covert operations. The world deserves a rest. inventory #47886.
