Trial Begins: Did New Orleans Media Contribute to Police Violence After Hurricane Katrina?
http://www.truth-out.org/new-orleans-police-violence-trial-begins-today/1308853109
Jordan Flaherty, Truthout: "Jury selection begins today in what observers have called the most important trial New Orleans has seen in a generation. It concerns a shocking case of police brutality that has already redefined this city's relationship to its police department, and radically rewritten the official narrative of what happened in the chaotic days after Hurricane Katrina. Five police officers are facing charges of shooting unarmed African-Americans in cold blood."
Oil Prices Plunge as US, Europe Tap Strategic Reserves
http://www.truth-out.org/oil-prices-plunge-us-europe-tap-strategic-reserves/1308923227
Kevin G. Hall, McClatchy Newspapers: "Oil prices dropped sharply Thursday on news that the U.S. and Europe will sell 60 million barrels of oil from their strategic reserves over the next 30 days, a move experts called an important policy shift that should help restrain volatile energy prices."
Martori Farms: Abusive Conditions at Key Wal-Mart Supplier
http://www.truth-out.org/abusive-conditions-martori-farms/1308844017
Victoria Law, Truthout: "The Arizona Department of Corrections has sent its prisoners to work for private agricultural businesses for almost 20 years. The farm pays its imprisoned laborers two dollars per hour, not including the travel time to and from the farm. Women on the Perryville Unit are assigned to Martori Farms, an Arizona farm corporation that supplies fresh fruits and vegetables to vendors across the United States (Martori is the exclusive supplier to Wal-Mart's 2,470 Supercenter and Neighborhood Market stores)."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: New Jersey House Passes Harsh Anti-Union Bill, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news-thom-hartmann-new-jersey-house-passes-harsh-anti-union-bill-and-more/1308934665
The New Jersey State House passed a harsh anti-union bill; Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor walked away from the negotiating table yesterday; the House Appropriations Committee passed legislation that cuts funding for government watchdogs; 90 days in, the war in Libya has still not been declared by Congress; and more.
House Rejects Resolution Authorizing US Mission in Libya
http://www.truth-out.org/house-rejects-resolution-authorizing-us-mission-libya/1308941119
Jennifer Steinhauer, The New York Times News Service: "The House on Friday resoundingly rejected a measure that would have authorized the United States' mission in Libya, with 70 Democrats deserting President Obama on an issue that has divided their party and became a major Constitutional flash point between Congress and the White House. The resolution - one of two the House took up Friday - failed 295 to 123, with an overwhelming majority of Republicans voting no."
New Legislation Would Let States Decide on Marijuana Legalization
http://www.truth-out.org/new-legislation-would-let-states-decide-marijuana-legalization/1308922211
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "Forty years after President Richard Nixon declared the war on drugs, members of Congress introduced a bill on Thursday that would end the federal prohibition of marijuana and allow states to create their own laws to tax, regulate and legalize marijuana use and cultivation."
John Pilger | Brainwashing the Corporate Way
http://www.truth-out.org/brainwashing-corporate-way/1308937274
John Pilger, Truthout: "A critical look at salaried professionals ... also applies to Britain, where the corporate state has bred a new class of Americanized manager to run the private and public sectors: the banks, the main parties, corporations, important committees, the BBC ... 'Cuts' are managed by those who say they oppose them and manufacture consent for their wider acceptance. This is the role of the Labour Party's professional managers."
Seized Phone Offers Clues to Bin Laden's Pakistani Links
http://www.truth-out.org/seized-phone-offers-clues-bin-ladens-pakistani-links/1308924995
Carlotta Gall, Pir Zubair Shah and Eric Schmitt, The New York Times News Service: "The cellphone of Osama bin Laden's trusted courier, which was recovered in the raid that killed both men in Pakistan last month, contained contacts to a militant group that is a longtime asset of Pakistan's intelligence agency, senior American officials who have been briefed on the findings say. The discovery indicates that Bin Laden used the group, Harakat-ul-Mujahedeen, as part of his support network inside the country, the officials and others said."
Senate Panel to Probe Whether CIA Targeted Juan Cole
http://www.truth-out.org/senate-panel-probe-whether-cia-targeted-juan-cole/1308922208
Niraj Warikoo, Detroit Free Press: "The Senate Intelligence Committee is now reviewing whether the CIA and White House may have tried to smear Juan Cole, a University of Michigan professor who writes a popular blog on Middle Eastern issues ... The Senate Committee's announcement to probe what may have happened comes after a former CIA official, Glenn Carle, said that the White House under then-President George W. Bush ordered the CIA to dig up negative information about Cole's personal life in order to try and discredit his views."
Greece and Its Lenders Agree on Austerity Plan
http://www.truth-out.org/greece-and-its-lenders-agree-austerity-plan/1308937208
Rachel Donadio and Niki Kitsantonis, The New York Times News Service: "Greece and its foreign lenders reached an agreement on Thursday on a five-year austerity plan that Prime Minister George Papandreou must now push through Parliament in order for Greece to stave off default. Last week, the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund, known as the troika, unexpectedly withheld the next installment of $17 billion in emergency aid to Greece over concerns that its blistering program of austerity measures might be falling short of its goals."
Greens Force German Nuclear Phase Out
http://www.truth-out.org/greens-call-germanys-gradual-reactor-phase-out-too-slow/1307718753
John LaForge, Truthout: "Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel reacted quickly to nationwide antinuclear protests reignited by the still out-of-control radiation disaster at Fukushima, Japan. The chancellor first ordered the powering down of the seven oldest and most dangerous reactors in Germany and she halted plans for any new reactor construction. Disappointed by partial shutdowns, the Greens, the Social Democrats, and thousands of others relentlessly organized protests and rallies involving tens of thousands."
Representative Murphy Says Thomas' Actions Call Into Question Whether He "Can Continue to Serve as a Justice"
http://www.truth-out.org/rep-murphy-says-thomas-actions-call-question-whether-he-can-continue-serve-justice/1308939596
Ian Millihiser, ThinkProgress: "In an exclusive interview with ThinkProgress, Rep. Chris Murphy (D-CT) - the lead sponsor of a bill which would strip Supreme Court justices of their immunity from a code of ethical conduct that applies to other federal judges - suggests that an investigation may be necessary to determine whether Justice Clarence Thomas' many ethics scandals rise to the level where Thomas is no longer fit to serve on the nation's highest Court."
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
It's white, Christian America's race against what they see as a demographic time bomb.
That is why this Associated Press (AP) headline strikes an anxious fear in so many US citizens who believe in white "American Exceptionalism": "Census Shows Whites Lose US Majority Among Babies." (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110623/ap_on_go_ot/us_census_white_minority)
BuzzFlash at Truthout has commented about this trend before and why it is part of the frenetic offensive against democracy that we see taking place, including an onslaught of state efforts to restrict voting in a way that will disproportionately disenfranchise the elderly, the disabled, the poor, minorities and students.
Many BuzzFlash critics have emailed us about this subject over the years. Most often, their contention is that America is a republic not a democracy. Although this has some implications in the argument over states' rights versus the federal government, it usually is offered in the context of asserting that only certain Americans should elect the government.
"Certain Americans" in this context, we infer, means white, Christian voters with a relatively good income.
That is why the Republicans are trying to offload government programs and power into the hands of "white wealth" as quickly as possible. Otherwise, they will face the power shift implied in the opening of the AP article:
"For the first time, more than half of the children under age 2 in the U.S. are minorities, part of a sweeping race change and a growing age divide between mostly white, older Americans and fast-growing younger ethnic populations that could reshape government policies.
"... Demographers say the numbers provide the clearest confirmation yet of a changing social order, one in which racial and ethnic minorities will become the U.S. majority by midcentury."
For the hardcore older, white, Christian Republican, democracy that is inclusive of all Americans must be dismantled as quickly as possible, both politically and economically.
