MAY 08: “Immigration: Bridges Not Walls”
Posted by Web Editor on 3rd May 2008
Immigrants – especially those without documentation – are being exploited by opportunistic politicians who pander to racist and xenophobic elements within our society. Rarely do we hear the personal stories, experiences and perspectives of the immigrants themselves.
APRIL 08: “Creative Nonviolence and Iraq’s Human Face”
Posted by Web Editor on 3rd May 2008
The realities in Iraq go far beyond what we hear in the news. The Olympia FOR’s April TCTV program helps us:
· See Iraq’s human face – real people and real experiences;
· Confront the realities and atrocities of what the U.S. has been doing to Iraq – not just since March 2003, but since January 1991 and even before; and
DEC ’07: Terrorism and the Challenge of Asymmetrical War
Posted by Web Editor on 2nd December 2007
After September 11, 2001, Bush launched what he called a “War on Terror.” The Olympia FOR’s December TCTV program powerfully challenges the bi-partisan assumption that Bush’s so-called “War on Terror” is the right way to deal with the world’s problems. Indeed, the program clearly explains why the bipartisan “War on Terror” has actually made problems worse and threatened world security.
JAN ’08: Venezuela — An Update
Posted by Web Editor on 2nd December 2007
A lot has happened since the Olympia FOR’s December 2005 TCTV program on Venezuela. We’re happy to provide fresh information now, which is especially needed to counter the distorted propaganda flowing from the U.S. government and mainstream news media.
NOV ‘07: “Korea: A History of U.S. Intervention”

June ’07: “Resisting the Militarization of Our Ports”
Posted by Web Editor on 9th June 2007
In May 2006 and in March and May of 2007, the ports in Olympia, Tacoma and Aberdeen, respectively, allowed ships to load military equipment and weapons for Iraq.
We all know that the war and years-long military occupation in Iraq violate U.S. law and international law in many ways. It violates the United Nations Charter, which prohibits starting aggressive wars.
July ’07: “Homelessness, Dignity, and Real Solutions”
Posted by Web Editor on 9th June 2007
American society – even a community as sweet and caring as Thurston County – has sharply mixed feelings about homelessness.
On the one hand: It’s considered nice to express compassion for people who are down on their luck. Many people contribute to charities to relieve the suffering of severe poverty.

Posted by Web Editor on 2nd December 2006
(Airs twice weekly in January, at 1:30 p.m. every Monday, and 9:00 p.m. every Thursday.)
Do we want the U.S. to be governed by the Constitution, or should the Executive Branch be able to overrule it, break laws, and do whatever it pleases? This is the primary issue our nation must face now.

December ‘06: The Earth Charter & caring for Creation
Posted by Web Editor on 2nd December 2006
(Airs every Monday in December at 1:30 p.m. and Thursdays at 9:00 p.m., on TCTV cable channel 22.)
A truly historic event has been unfolding worldwide, but largely unreported and unknown in the U.S. “The Earth Charter” is a short but magnificent document promoting human dignity, environmental sustainability, profound democracy, and the interconnectedness of everything.
