The Democracy Now! host revisits her controversial arrest while covering a protest at the 2008 RNC. She praises social media sites like YouTube and Twitter as guardians of free speech. ----- In the Gallery: Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan talk about Breaking The Sound Barrier. Amy Goodman, award-winning host of the daily internationally broadcast radio and television program "Democracy Now", breaks through the corporate media's lies, sound bites, and silence in this wide-ranging new collection of articles. In place of the usual suspects—the "experts" who, in Goodman's words, "know so little about so much, explain the world to us, and get it so wrong"—this accessible, lively collection allows the voices the corporate media exclude and ignore to be heard loud and clear. From community organizers in New Orleans, to the courageous American soldiers who've said "No" to Washington's wars, to the victims of torture and police violence, we are given the extraordinary opportunity to hear ordinary people standing up and speaking out. - Book Passage Amy Goodman is the host and executive producer of Democracy Now!.

President Obama is expected to announce that he will be sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan next week. In the wake of that decision, discussion of the consequences of United States intervention around the world becomes even more important. It's not only wars that produce blowback for the US; training and funding for right-leaning groups in Latin America has been a long-standing source of resentment and anger around the world.Today on GRITtv, we look back at the effects of US intervention in Latin America and connect the patterns to the current situations in Afghanistan and Iraq with Christian Parenti, Nation contributor and author of The Soft Cage: Surveillance in America From Slavery to the War on Terror , Rev. Luis Barrios, chair of the Department of Latin American & Latina/o Studies at John Jay College in New York,

TC Indymedia gives a new look at the infamous Robert Erickson Tea Party punk with crowd reactions and the assault on a counter-protester in HD. This speech exposed the hypocrisy of the white supremacist, racist & xenophobic rhetoric of the right-wing extremists, who use dangerous imagery to frame the immigration debate. Meanwhile in Minnesota the Dakota people control .006% of their original land base, which was stolen via fraudulent treaties, genocide and ethnic cleansing. http://tc.indymedia.org Robert Erickson Fans on Facebook!! facebook.com/pages/Robert-Erickson/180486194893

On September 11, 2009 the Competitive Enterprise Institute (www.cei.org) and the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights (aynrandcenter.org) held an "intellectual ammunition" strategy session at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. to brief those participating in the 9/12 March on Washington (912dc.org) on the ideas of liberty. Part 5 includes questions from the audience for the panel: CEI President Fred L. Smith, Jr., CEI Senior Fellow Iain Murray, Duke University Prof. John D. Lewis and Ayn Rand Institute President Yaron Brook. Closing remarks by Ayn Rand Institute Vice President Lin Zinser.

Finally, organizer and activist Marilyn Clement has died at the age of 74 after a battle with cancer. Over five tireless decades, she held positions with just about every key civil rights and peace group from the Southern Christian Leadership conference to the Women?s International League for Peace and Freedom and the Center for Constitutional Rights. Fuelled by a fury about how many people die for no good reason, Clement worked tirelessly for quality healthcare for all, as founder and national coordinator of Healthcare-NOW! "Let?s hope the Democratic Congress gets the message," she wrote in January 2007. "The voters did indeed vote for a national response to the health care crisis. They desperately need it. The Democrats must get over the chilling effect of the Newt Gingrich attack that left them trembling in their boots." Then it was Gingrich, and the cost of health care was only up 73 percent since 2000. Now it's even more expensive than that, and there's a new cohort of private profit-insurers lobbying to keep the Democrats cowed and trembling. It's fitting that this week, the week of her death, the Nancy Pelosi announced that congress would finally, finally, vote on a single payer healthcare option. It's progress, in part thanks to Marilyn Clement who helped make it happen. But too late. Too little, way too late. Marilyn, however, would put a positive spin on things -- we're on the verge of change she said at the June 7th event in New York. And she made a pitch for a new geneartion of leaders to come up and carry on the struggle. Our thoughts are with her family.
