Desmond Tutu | Ending Nuclear Evil
http://www.truth-out.org/ending-nuclear-evil/1309700520
Desmond Tutu, Project Syndicate: "Eliminating nuclear weapons is the democr=
atic wish of the world's people. Yet no nuclear-armed country currently app=
ears to be preparing for a future without these terrifying devices. In fact=
, all are squandering billions of dollars on modernization of their nuclear=
forces, making a mockery of United Nations disarmament pledges. If we allo=
w this madness to continue, the eventual use of these instruments of terror=
seems all but inevitable."=20
Executives' Pay at Big Companies Rose 23 Percent Last Year
http://www.truth-out.org/executives-pay-big-companies-rose-23-percent-last-=
year/1309705281
Pradnya Joshi, The New York Times News Service: "Brace yourself. The final =
figures show that the median pay for top executives at 200 big companies la=
st year was $10.8 million. That works out to a 23 percent gain from 2009. T=
he earlier study had put the median pay at a none-too-shabby $9.6 million, =
up 12 percent. Total C.E.O. pay hasn't quite returned to its heady, prerece=
ssion levels - but it certainly seems headed there. Despite the soft econom=
y, weak home prices and persistently high unemployment, some top executives=
are already making more than they were before the economy soured."=20
The Next Egyptian Revolution
http://www.truth-out.org/next-egyptian-revolution/1309704938
Marisa Holmes, Truthout: "An opportunity has presented itself in Egypt. For=
the people, this is a moment of democracy and freedom, but for the US, Int=
ernational Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank and their partners in Egypt, thi=
s is a political opening in which to force the same neoliberal policies clo=
aked in revolutionary rhetoric... The military and its Western partners are=
attempting to maintain stability, but strikes and protests continue. It is=
unclear how the balance of power will tip."=20
Greece Jails US Captain in Gaza Flotilla
http://www.truth-out.org/greece-jails-us-captain-gaza-flotilla/1309711990
Scott Sayare, The New York Times News Service: "The American captain of a U=
nited States-flagged boat in the planned flotilla to Gaza was jailed Saturd=
ay, a day after trying to sail out of port, flotilla organizers said. A jud=
ge contended that the boat, The Audacity of Hope, was not carrying proper s=
afety equipment and charged the captain, John Klusmire, with 'disturbing se=
a traffic and endangering passengers,' a felony, and with disobeying an off=
icial directive, a misdemeanor, said Ann Wright, an organizer."=20
Refugees' Descendants in Southeast Asia Prove Stateless Society Is Possible
http://www.truth-out.org/refugees-descendants-southeast-asia-prove-stateles=
s-society-possible/1309722930
Javier Sethness, Truthout: "James C. Scott's latest work, 'The Art of Not B=
eing Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia,' is a deeply =
important book. The text, a historical-anthropological investigation of the=
highlands of Zomia - a 2.5 million-square-kilometer-area spanning much of =
Southeast Asia that Scott calls '[o]ne of the largest remaining nonstate sp=
aces in the world' - demonstrates clearly that matters can be radically oth=
er than they presently are over much of the globe, as children, dreamers, a=
nd science-fiction writers have long insisted."=20
Greek Tragedy
http://www.truth-out.org/greek-tragedy/1309701013
Guillaume Duval, Alt=C3=A9rnatives Economiques: "In his spot for Radio Nova=
, Guillaume Duval lays out two possibilities under discussion for saving Gr=
eece: Make European taxpayers pay or make banks pay. Two alternatives that =
each entail political and economic risks, 'risks to some extent engineered =
by the same financial institutions that bear some responsibility for the cr=
isis.'"
Thais Back Ousted Prime Minister's Party in Landslide
http://www.truth-out.org/thais-back-ousted-prime-ministers-party-landslide/=
1309712733
Seth Mydans and Thomas Fuller, The New York Times News Service: "The party =
of the fugitive former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra won an overwhelmin=
g victory in a parliamentary election on Sunday that could turn Thai poli=
tics on its head and roll back the results of a coup that ousted Mr. Thaksi=
n five years ago. In a contest that was seen as a referendum on Thailand's=
recent turmoil, the Pheu Thai party, headed by Mr. Thaksin's youngest sist=
er, Yingluck Shinawatra, 44, appeared headed for an absolute majority of th=
e 500-seat Parliament. With nearly all the votes counted, her party won a p=
rojected 261 seats."=20
Strauss-Kahn's Accuser Doubly Victimized, Advocates Say
http://www.truth-out.org/strauss-kahns-accuser-doubly-vicitimised-advocates=
-say/1309702666
Portia Crow, Inter Press Service: "Despite questions about her credibility,=
the Sofitel maid who is accusing former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn o=
f sexual assault is still a victim and should be treated as one, according =
to her attorney... He claimed that District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. was tr=
ying to drop the case in order to save face, and stressed that the 32-year-=
old alleged victim still deserved justice."=20

http://www.truth-out.org/wikileaks-sb-1070-rise-new-global-hacktivists/1309=
709849
Justine Sharrock, New America Media: "the events of the past few days, in w=
hich the hacktivst 'group' Anonymous launched a major campaign called Opera=
tion Anti-Security, show that many more Julian Assanges are indeed waiting =
in the wings - ready, willing and able to continue what the embattled WikiL=
eaks founder started when he released a trove of classified State Departmen=
t cables on the Internet last year. And governments and corporations will f=
ind these leakers far more difficult than Assange to capture or control."
