Ordinary People Making Great Changes: An Interview With "Freedom Riders" Director Stanley Nelson
http://www.truth-out.org/ordinary-people-making-great-changes-interview-freedom-riders-director-stanley-nelson/1309189357
Truthout's Progressive Pick of the Week is the documentary "Freedom Riders," directed by Stanley Nelson. The documentary chronicles the Freedom Riders who helped usher in the civil rights movement. When asked what he hoped viewers would take away from the film, Nelson responded, "That great change can come from a few small steps taken by courageous people. And that sometimes, to do any great thing, it's important that we step out alone."
Chris Hedges | Gone With the Papers
http://www.truth-out.org/gone-papers/1309185230
Chris Hedges, Truthdig: "The increasing fusion of news and entertainment, the rise of a class of celebrity journalists on television who define reporting by their access to the famous and the powerful, the retreat by many readers into the ideological ghettos of the Internet and the ruthless drive by corporations to destroy the traditional news business are leaving us deaf, dumb and blind. The relentless assault on the 'liberal press' by right-wing propaganda outlets such as Fox News or by the Christian right is in fact an assault on a system of information grounded in verifiable fact."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Nebraska Nuclear Danger Gets Worse, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news-thom-hartmann-nebraska-nuclear-danger-gets-worse-and-more/1309194429
In Nebraska, a floodwall protecting a nuclear plant gave way, flooding the facility; in Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker signed a new Republican budget bill that cuts $800 million from public schools; New York's legalization of same-sex marriage doubles the number of couples who are able to marry; the Iowa Energy Forum is revealed to be a front group of the energy and gas corporations; Supreme Court rules that people who experience unlisted side effects of generic drugs cannot sue the manufacturer; Greece's Prime Minister George Papandreou will likely hold a vote in Parliament on a package of austerity measures targeting primarily working-class Greeks and public services this week.
Winners and Losers in the Great, Global Energy Struggle to Come
http://www.truth-out.org/winners-and-losers-great-global-energy-struggle-come/1309184846
Michael T. Klare, TomDispatch: "From 1618 to 1648, Europe was engulfed in a series of intensely brutal conflicts known collectively as the Thirty Years' War. Think of us today as embarking on a new Thirty Years' War. It may not result in as much bloodshed as that of the 1600s, though bloodshed there will be, but it will prove no less momentous for the future of the planet."
Dean Baker | Right to Rent: Will the Obama Administration Finally Fix Housing?
http://www.truth-out.org/right-rent-will-obama-administration-finally-fix-housing/1309181703
Dean Baker, Truthout: "The concept of 'right to rent' has been floating around Washington for almost four years. Under this proposal, foreclosed homeowners would be allowed to remain in their house as renters, paying the market rent, for a substantial period of time (e.g. five years) following a foreclosure. While several bills have been introduced in Congress, President Obama may now have a new opportunity to take the lead on this issue."
Truthout's Jason Leopold Speaks to RT America About Hypocrisy at Guantanamo Bay (Video)
http://www.truth-out.org/hypocrisy-guantanamo-bay/1309183950
The United States is outspoken about human rights violations happening across the globe, but what about the ones of which America itself is guilty? Investigative journalist Jason Leopold talks to RT about the conditions at Guantanamo that America isn't acknowledging.
Bank Errors Continue to Cause Wrongful Foreclosures
http://www.truth-out.org/bank-errors-continue-cause-wrongful-foreclosures/1309198276
Paul Kiel, ProPublica: "Four years into the foreclosure crisis, banks say they've made major improvements in how they handle struggling homeowners. They've promised, for example, not to foreclose on homeowners who are being considered for mortgage modifications. But that's still happening."
Dirty Deals on Social Security Likely to Succeed
http://www.truth-out.org/dirty-deals-social-security-likely-succeed/1308757282
Jack Rasmus, Truthout: "The current offensive underway against Medicare by Paul Ryan and the House Republican majority is well known. Less well known is the somewhat hidden undermining of Medicare in the 2010 Obama health bill that will take effect in a few more years and cost retirees a significant increase in out-of-pocket costs and caps on benefits."
Fukushima's Cesium Spew - Deadly Catch-22s in Japan Disaster Relief
http://www.truth-out.org/fukushimas-cesium-spew-eludes-prussian-blues-deadly-catch-22s-japan-disaster-relief/1308930096
W. David Kubiak, Truthout: "For those most focused on Fukushima's human toll, there are several main sources of concern: the continuing radiation menace in the region's fields, crops and seafood; and TEPCO's recent admission that its reactors won't be under control until 2012 at best."
Supreme Court Strikes Down Violent Video Game Ban
http://www.truth-out.org/supreme-court-strikes-down-violent-video-game-ban/1309194361
Michael Doyle, McClatchy Newspapers: "The Supreme Court on Monday struck down California's ban on the sale of violent video games to minors. In a ruling closely watched by other states and the entertainment industry, the court in what amounts to a 7-2 ruling determined that California's 2005 violent video game restrictions violated free speech rights protected by the First Amendment."
Jim Hightower | Perry's Prayer-Palooza
http://www.truth-out.org/perrys-prayer-palooza/1309183578
Jim Hightower, OtherWords: "When Texas became a republic in 1836, its constitution banned 'ministers of the gospel' from holding any political office. Our problem these days, however, isn't ministers in office, but politicians posing as ministers, seizing the pulpit to preach and proselytize. To see such Elmer Gantryism in action, look no further than the showboating Texas governor, Rick 'The Pious' Perry."
Bradley Manning Contingents Show Up at Pride Parades
http://www.truth-out.org/bradley-manning-contingents-show-pride-parades/1309182860
James Russell, Truthout: "Even as he sits in a Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, jail, Bradley Manning was not forgotten at LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) pride parades across the country this past month, when supporters marched in his honor."
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
They are leaving a legacy of injustice: Clarence Thomas and David Prosser.
Already on record as having called the chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court a "bitch" who he vowed to "destroy" last year, now Prosser is accused by another female supreme court justice of trying to strangle her with a choke hold. (http://www.politiscoop.com/component/content/article/35-last-24h-news/366-justice-bradley-speaks-out.html) This allegedly occurred - and appears to have been witnessed by several other state supreme court judges - just before the 4-3 ruling that allowed Scott Walker's legally questionable union-busting budget to be implemented.
Sure enough, right-wing bloggers and even Fox's Greta Van Susteren are not condemning Prosser's act of violence - calling it defensive - but are instead demanding that Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson (the justice Prosser called a "bitch") to resign. (http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/06/27/254619/greta-on-prosser-choking/)
The double standard that the right wing holds in terms of sexual behavior, misogyny, unethical financial reporting, conflicts of interest - and just outright criminally violent behavior - is a threat to respect for our legal system.
On the judicial level, the Republicans have been enormously tolerant of partisan judges who engage in conflicts of interest and ethical lapses. Just look at Thomas, who didn't even report large financial payments that benefited him and his wife, as he ruled on cases that involved the sources of the personal funds. And Antonin Scalia doesn't believe he needs to recuse himself because, as a Supreme Court judge, he believes that he is above having a conflict of interest.
The American judicial system has had corrupt and violent judges on the bench before, but never has one party so sanctioned behavior that violates the very notion of judicial standards - not to mention potentially criminal violence and clear misogyny.
It is hard to get US citizens to respect the courts when judges who show such disrespect for ethics and the rule of law sit on state courts and the national Supreme Court - and one political party comes to their defense, while the other party appears too timid to demand accountability.
