Henry A. Giroux | Death-Dealing Politics in the Age of Extreme Violence
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28721-death-dealing-politics-in-the-age-of-extreme-violence
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: US society is in a free fall, as all vestiges of social and economic equality disappear, public provisions evaporate and the financial elite controls government. To resist this growing authoritarianism, politics must not only inform, but also energize people to take collective action within deeply committed bonds of solidarity.

ECB: The Ultimate Enforcer of the European Neoliberal Project?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28736-ecb-the-ultimate-enforcer-of-the-european-neoliberal-project
C.J. Polychroniou, Truthout: The European Central Bank's quantitative easing measures and other interventions in the eurozone economy under the current regime are designed to keep the neoliberal euro game going - not to help Europe's ailing economies or its populations.
The Ghastly, Remotely Piloted, Robotic Reaper Drone
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28743-the-ghastly-remotely-piloted-robotic-reaper-drone
Ed Kinane, Truthout: The MQ9 Reaper - now used by the United States 24/7 over Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere - makes killing too easy. Despite the propaganda in mainstream media, drones are not deployed in a "war on terror." Weaponized drones are terror.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28730-fracking-boom-expands-near-chaco-canyon-threatens-navajo-ancestral-lands-and-people
Julie Dermansky, DeSmogBlog: The oil and gas industry is expanding in northwestern New Mexico.

The rest is a mixture of private and Navajo Nation land.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Will Sink the Middle Class
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28753-the-trans-pacific-partnership-will-sink-the-middle-class
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: Two decades of free-trade deals have bloodied the "American dream." If President Obama goes ahead and signs us onto another free-trade deal, especially one as destructive as the TPP, that will be like tying a cement block to the feet of a drowning man.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28731-gaza-in-arizona-how-israeli-high-tech-firms-will-up-armor-the-us-mexican-border
Todd Miller and Gabriel M. Schivone, TomDispatch: In February 2014, US Customs and Border Protection, the agency in charge of policing US borders, contracted with Israel's private military manufacturer Elbit Systems to build a "virtual wall" in the Arizona desert. That company will bring the same databank of technology used in Israel's borderlands to southern Arizona.

In today's On the News segment: In the election cycles since the Citizens United ruling, we've seen "a tidal wave of dark money"; school districts around the United States are doing more to make sure kids aren't going hungry; most lawmakers refuse to fight for single-payer health care, but most voters say that they should; and more.
