Essential reading from ColdType
This blog features a permanent link to my friend and fellow designer Tony Sutton's ColdType, a source of thoughts, comments and news about the world. It provides an antidote to ignorance. In the new issue you find:
1. THE COLDTYPE READER
Six essays, including an interview with war surgeon-author Jonathan Kaplan; a fiery confrontation between Christopher Hitchens and Scott Ritter; the link between Pat Robertson, Dubya, violence and the Good Book; the New York transit strike, Karl Rove’s coming of age; and how the international financial mafia is aiming to make Iraq a better place (but for whom?).
2. JOE BAGEANT SPECIALS
Three new essays from Joe this issue - he writes about a new book we should all read; the middle-class lockdown; and the revenge of America’s Mutt-People – and a photo essay of a trip with Joe around his home town, Winchester, Virginia. Pictures by New York photographer, Sean Gallagher, words by Joe Bageant.
3. HOMELAND SECURITY ATE MY SPEECH
“On December 27, 2005, at 11:31 in the morning, agents of the Homeland Security Department detained me at Miami International Airport and proceeded to impound a speech I was supposed to deliver in Washington, D.C. to the Modern Language Association of America. Well, not quite...” By Ariel Dorfman.
4. BRILLIANT FOOLS & UNTHINKABLE THOUGHTS
“No matter how often the author John Le Carré, and playwright Harold Pinter are shown to be right, no matter how often Bush and Blair are shown to have lied in the cause of power and profits, the job of mainstream media seems to be to treat rare individuals motivated by compassion as rare fools deserving contempt.” British media critic David Edwards talks about the media treatment of these two authors and, in a second essay, he interviews Harold Pinter on his treatment by the media.
5.GOOD VERSUS EVIL: How The Media Got It Wrong In Yugoslavia
Ed Herman looks at Media Cleansing: Dirty Reporting, a book by Peter Brock, that tells how the media, pushing for more aggressive action, in the interests of stopping ethnic cleansing, helped produce more killing than might have taken place without their bellicosity and war propaganda service.
6. TWO ESSAYS FROM THE COLDTYPE ARCHIVES – Bringing Hell To Haiti and Go Find Me A Way To Do This: How Bush & Blair Chose War & Then The Justification, both by David Edwards.
Plus: the latest columns from George Monbiot, Danny Schechter, Michael I. Niman, Norman Solomon and Uri Avnery. Everything in pdf format. Everything free. Download now at ColdType
