William Rivers Pitt | Trading Paradise for a Pipeline
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30564-trading-paradise-for-a-pipeline
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: Kinder Morgan proposes a massive natural gas pipeline that would run the product of Pennsylvania fracking across all of southern New Hampshire to a depot near the Massachusetts coastline, from which it would be shipped to the world for a fee.
Syriza: Lies, Broken Promises and Prolonged Austerity
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30575-syriza-lies-broken-promises-and-prolonged-austerity
Michael Nevradakis, Truthout: Three months after its election, the Syriza-led coalition government in Greece has diffused any of the optimism surrounding its ascendance to power, having reneged on many of its pre-election promises while continuing austerity, privatizations and many of the practices of its predecessors.
Dean Baker | Celebrating the Flash Crash With a Wall Street Sales Tax
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30567-celebrating-the-flash-crash-with-a-wall-street-sales-tax
Dean Baker, Truthout: There is a simple and easy way to reduce the amount of money being drained away by short-term traders. A financial transactions tax, effectively a modest sales tax applied to trades, would drastically reduce the amount of short-term trading while raising a huge amount of revenue.
TransCanada Keystone 1 Pipeline Suffered Major Corrosion Only Two Years in Operation
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30568-transcanada-keystone-1-pipeline-suffered-major-corrosion-only-two-years-in-operation-95-percent-worn-in-one-spot
Julie Dermansky, DeSmogBlog: The cause of the severe corrosion that's left a section of TransCanada's Keystone 1 pipeline thinner than a dime is being kept from the public by federal regulators and TransCanada.
The APA Relied on the CIA for Ethical Guidance
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30555-the-apa-relied-on-the-cia-for-ethical-guidance
Roy Eidelson and Trudy Bond, Truthout: A troubling new report published by The New York Times reveals that officials at the American Psychological Association secretly turned to the CIA for guidance in developing the APA's policies on the ethics of psychologist involvement in detention and interrogation operations.
Bernie Sanders' Run Can Help the "Less War" Movement in the US
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30592-bernie-sanders-run-can-help-the-us-less-war-movement
Robert Naiman, Truthout: It's as if the dial is automatically set to "more war" by default and we have to make a huge effort for each war to try to change the setting to less war. Advocacy for less war should be a regular feature of electoral politics, so that it becomes a standard question to ask automatically: Where does the candidate stand on less war?
Will Climate Change Be a Factor in the 2016 Election?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30569-will-climate-change-be-a-factor-in-the-2016-election
Aaron Viles, Truthout: It's getting harder for businesses to deny climate change, and local governments are leading the charge on climate resilience to protect their communities, but whether the issue will be front and center in 2016 remains to be seen.
Will Indictment Lead to Systemic Change in Baltimore?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30578-will-indictment-lead-to-systemic-change-in-baltimore
Jessica Desvarieux, The Real News Network: TRNN senior editor Paul Jay and civil rights attorney A. Dwight Pettit discuss the implications of the criminal charges facing six police officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray and what they mean for the Gray family and the Baltimore community.
Who Counts? Body Counts, Drones and "Collateral Damage"
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30566-who-counts-body-counts-drones-and-collateral-damage
Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: If you are an innocent American or Western civilian and a drone takes you out, you count. If you are an innocent Pakistani, Afghan or Yemeni, you don't. You didn't count before the drone killed you, and you don't count as a corpse, either.
From the Steps of the Supreme Court to the Streets of Baltimore
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30573-from-the-steps-of-the-supreme-court-to-the-streets-of-baltimore
Angela Peoples, Get Equal: Of course it matters that Black LGBTQ people have equal access to the legal benefits and protections that come with legal marriage recognition. But if we don't even have the right to live and be Black - free from harassment, profiling and police violence - what is the value of that marriage license?
Obama Bribes Abe to Support the TPP by Unleashing Japanese Military
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30574-obama-bribes-abe-to-support-the-tpp-by-unleashing-japanese-military
Yves Smith, Naked Capitalism: It may seem odd that nationalists such as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe favor closer relations with the US given the sacrifice of sovereignty these ties entail, but this is why: Washington supports the remilitarization that the prime minister's political party has also long favored.
Coal's Collateral Damage
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30571-coal-s-collateral-damage
Emily Schwartz Greco, OtherWords: Coal powered the industrial revolution and kept the lights on for billions of people over the past century. As it collapses, remember that the industry's pain can't compare with the suffering it brought to the people and creatures who make their homes in the world's most ancient mountains.
Basic Income and the Anti-Slavery Movement
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30572-basic-income-and-the-anti-slavery-movement
Neil Howard, openDemocracy: Unconditional basic income is not only feasible, but it also has more emancipatory potential than any other single policy because it targets economic vulnerability, the heart of all labor exploitation.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: It's Effectively a Crime to Be Poor in the US, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30583-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-it-s-still-effectively-a-crime-to-be-poor-in-the-us-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Debtors prisons have been outlawed for more than a century, yet it's still effectively a crime to be poor in the United States; the rich love to whine about entitlements, but that doesn't stop them from collecting their own government handouts; protesters held a 15-day fast outside Los Angeles City Hall to demand an increase to the city's minimum wage; and more.
