exes
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32759-transphobia-at-the-intersection=
-of-the-military-and-prison-industrial-complexes
Chelsea E. Manning, Truthout: As a trans woman in a military prison, Chelse=
a Manning lives at the intersection of the military and prison industrial c=
omplexes. To begin rolling back these systems, which impose strict gender n=
orms and criminalize those labeled as threats to national security, we must=
identify what they are and who benefits from them.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32761-china-s-political-elite-take-the-m=
oney-and-run-abroad
Bill Blunden, Truthout: The Chinese government is keen to speak with one of=
its citizens, the brother of a former government official, who's hiding so=

t what's driving the stealthy exodus of China's power elite.

ange Compensation
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32762-forty-years-after-vietnam-blue-wat=
er-navy-vets-still-fighting-for-agent-orange-compensation
Charles Ornstein, Terry Parris Jr. and Mike Hixenbaugh, ProPublica: Though =
most didn't step foot in Vietnam, some 90,000 Navy vets who served offshore=
may have been exposed to the chemical brew and seek benefits. The battle i=
s playing out in the courts and in Congress. It boils down to a comma.
Deportation, Detention and Abuse on the Mexico-Guatemala Border
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32763-deportation-detention-and-abuse-on=
-the-mexico-guatemala-border
Laura Carlsen, CIP Americas Program: After the crisis of unaccompanied chil=
dren in the United States last summer, the US government pressured Mexican =

before they reached the US border. The US helped convert the Mexico-Guatem=

Do Interest-Free Loans Make Sense? No, but They Do Make a Difference
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32764-do-interest-free-loans-make-sense-=
no-but-they-do-make-a-difference
Marcus Harrison Green, YES! Magazine: Zero-percent interest has been scorne=
d by the lending world. However, thanks to two Pacific Northwest-based lend=
ing institutions, small-business owners are now able to disregard those rul=
es while seeing their enterprises thrive and their local communities grow.
A Worldwide Network of Seed Information Is Taking Root
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32765-a-worldwide-network-of-seed-inform=
ation-is-taking-root
Claire Provost, SciDev.Net: A vault in Svalbard, Norway, is the ultimate ba=
ckup for plant material. There are mounting efforts to make such seed bank =
resources accessible, but without internet access, the poorest farmers migh=
t still be excluded.

Jeff Kingston, The Asia-Pacific Journal: Activists from Student Emergency A=
ction for Liberal Democracy (SEALDs) denounce Japanese Prime Minister Abe S=

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32768-the-us-military-and-the-myth-th=
at-humanity-is-predisposed-to-violence
Maria Santelli, Other Worlds: We have this tragic misperception that humani=
ty is predisposed to violence. Humanity is predisposed to peace. The defaul=
t position for humanity is that of conscientious objector. If we believe th=
at violence is natural, we will believe that war is inevitable.
My Brush With Elon Musk
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32767-my-brush-with-elon-musk
John Kiriakou, OtherWords: The author is given a lesson by Elon Musk, the "=
Thomas Edison of our time," on Tesla Motors, the promise of alternative ene=
rgy, our neglected infrastructure and the promise of education. Our politic=
ians could stand to get a lesson, too.
