Jason Leopold | Former Counterterrorism Czar Accuses Tenet, Other CIA Officials of Cover-Up
http://www.truth-out.org/former-counterterrorism-czar-accuses-tenet-other-cia-officials-cover/1313071564
Jason Leopold, Truthout: "In a stunning new interview set to air on a local PBS affiliate in Colorado tonight, former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, for the first time, levels explosive allegations against three former top CIA officials - George Tenet, Cofer Black and Richard Blee - accusing them of knowingly withholding intelligence from the Bush and Clinton White House, the FBI, Immigration and the State and Defense Departments about two of the 9/11 hijackers who had entered the United States more than a year before the attacks."
Can the Corporate Media Turn Lies Into Truth?
http://www.truth-out.org/can-corporate-media-turn-lies-truth/1311705270
Mark Karlin, Truthout: "Watching 'Orwell Rolls in His Grave,' it becomes increasingly clear that we can't see the forest through the trees, because with the consolidation of for-profit corporate media, the forest of information is pretty much owned by just a few companies. And those companies not only frequently create 'facts' to enhance profits, but also create the frame through which public policy is debated to meet their business goals."
War and the Tragedy of the Commons (Part 3)
http://www.truth-out.org/war-and-tragedy-commons-part-3/1312921264
H. Patricia Hynes, Truthout: "As long as Agent Orange is not addressed, along with the reparations that the US agreed to offer the Vietnamese, the Indochina War cannot be considered over. Rather, it entered a different phase, a phase without artillery and gunshots, but a phase in which millions continue to suffer and die in agony."

Economic Crisis or Nonviolent Opportunity? Gandhi's Answer to Financial Collapse
http://www.truth-out.org/economic-crisis-or-nonviolent-opportunity-gandhis-answer-financial-collapse/1313084331
Michael Nagler, Waging Nonviolence: "The real purpose of an economic system is to guarantee to every person in its circle the fundamentals of physical existence (food, clothing, shelter) and the tools of meaningful work so that they can get on with the business of living together and working out our common destiny. This was Gandhi's vision, among others'."
Verizon's Workers Strike Back at Corporate Greed - You Can Join Them!
http://www.truth-out.org/verizons-workers-strike-back-corporate-greed-you-can-join-them/1313085337
Dave Johnson, Campaign for America's Future: "Right now Verizon is greedily trying to put the squeeze on its workers, cutting pensions, sick pay, health insurance, even disability for employees injured on the job. If this story sounds all too familiar, this part won't: Their workers are fighting back with a strike! And you can join them!"

http://www.truth-out.org/yes-obamas-legal-duty-create-jobs-now/1313082465
Jeanne Mirer and Marjorie Cohn, Truthout: "The debate about the debt ceiling should have been a conversation about how to create jobs. It is time for progressives to remind the government that it has a legal duty to create jobs and must act immediately - if not through Congress, then through the Federal Reserve."
United Snakes of America: Obama, the Republicans and the Media
http://www.truth-out.org/united-snakes-america-obama-republicans-and-media/1312997240
Dr. Brian Moench, Truthout: "I was thrilled to vote for Obama. My wife and I donated more money to his campaign than we have given to any candidate running for any office. I believed he was more than just pocket 'change we could believe in.' I still have an Obama bumper sticker on my car. This weekend, with gusto, I'm tearing it off."
US Relies on Contractors in Somalia Conflict
http://www.truth-out.org/us-relies-contractors-somalia-conflict/1313069433
Jeffrey Gettleman, Mark Mazzetti and Eric Schmitt, The New York Times News Service: "The fight against the Shabab, a group that United States officials fear could someday carry out strikes against the West, has mostly been outsourced to African soldiers and private companies out of reluctance to send American troops back into a country they hastily exited nearly two decades ago."
Paul Krugman | United States vs. Europe: Who Is Worse Off?

Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: "America is hamstrung by its crazy right; Europe by its single currency that can be neither abandoned nor accompanied by sufficient reforms to make it work; Japan by lousy demography and monetary timidity that is now deeply ingrained in expectations."

Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: "On Monday, a federal appeals court refused to dismiss a lawsuit filed by two U.S. citizens against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and unnamed others for developing, authorizing and using harsh interrogation techniques against detainees in Iraq."
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Why did the right wing react with such ferocity to the Newsweek cover that featured a photographic portrait of Michelle Bachmann with "crazy eyes"?
The Republicans have packaged candidates for TV for decades and know the importance that appearance has over substance. Progressives tend to laugh at Bachmann's outrageous inaccuracies (watch this video compilation for examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZxQZMSl-o0)
However, in the television age, how a candidate appears on TV in terms of confidence, presence and reassuring personal image is of extreme importance, whatever their factual errors and even ignorance. No television image packaging represented this more than the Reagan campaign and presidencies. Like Bachmann, off script Reagan was often laughably factually inaccurate.
Bachmann, in general, has a positive television presence, even when she is spouting whoppers such as stating that the Revolutionary War began in New Hampshire or mistaking John Wayne Gacy for John Wayne. To the reptilian lizard mind, she is generally emotionally appealing and upbeat in her packaged TV appearances. In fact, she has a much stronger TV presence than Sarah Palin, who makes even some of her followers a little bit nervous with her edgy twang and often fumbling interviews.
So, it's worthy of note that a recent MIT study reaffirmed the importance of appearance and personal chemistry on television: (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/exclusive/candidate-looks-matter-less-informed-voters-133346843.html)
"Frequent TV viewers who don't get any kinds of other political news are the voters most likely to be influenced by a candidate's physical appearance, a new Massachusetts Institute of Technology study shows.
"'Voters who watch a lot of television but don't really know much about the candidates besides how they look are particularly susceptible,' Chappell Lawson, coauthor of the study, told MIT News."
In fact, among uninformed viewers, the study estimates that "there was a 5 percent increase in support for that [high television chemistry] candidate from uninformed voters who said they watch a lot of television." That's a significant advantage in any election.
That is why the radical supporters of Bachmann were upset that the Newsweek cover, which she posed for, took a chip out of her visual brand image. The MIT study "suggests that the effect of television remains present but diminishes as voter-information levels rise."
In short, ignorance is bliss for a Republican candidate when it comes to modern-day television campaigns. And Michele Bachmann is counting on a lot of that know-nothingness in Republican primary voters.
