Bill McKibben | Making a Life on a Tough, New Planet
http://www.truth-out.org/bill-mckibbens-afterword-eaarth/1314648614
Bill McKibben, St. Martin's Griffin: "The months after the initial publication of Eaarth saw some of the most intense environmental trauma the planet has ever witnessed ... For Americans, the British Petroleum (BP) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which began on April 20, 2010, may have provided the most powerful images - there was, after all, an underwater camera showing the leak up close. (Leak? This was not a leak - it was a stab wound that BP inflicted on the ocean floor, a literal hole in the bottom of the sea. If you ever had any doubts about peak oil, all it took was one view of the extreme places and pressures the oil companies now had to endure to find even marginal amounts of crude. The well that BP was drilling would have supplied only about four days' worth of America's oil consumption.)"
Eric Cantor Won't Support Hurricane Disaster Funding Without Massive Cuts to First Responders
http://www.truth-out.org/eric-cantor-wont-support-hurricane-disaster-funding-without-massive-cuts-first-responders/1314726273
Jude Legum, ThinkProgress: "What cuts, specifically, does Eric Cantor want in exchange for disaster relief funds? On Fox, Cantor said he supported $1 billion in disaster relief funding as part of the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill, which contains massive cuts to FEMA and first responders. In July, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) detailed the problems with the legislation championed by Cantor: 'The House bill slashes funding for grants to equip and train first responders by 40 percent. This is on top of the 19 percent cut in FY 2011.'"
Chris Hedges | The Election March of the Trolls
http://www.truth-out.org/election-march-trolls/1314654497
Chris Hedges, Truthdig: "The liberal trolls, as they do in every election cycle, are beating their little chests about the perfidiousness of the Democratic Party and Barack Obama. It is a gesture performed not to effect change but to burnish their credentials as moralists. They know, as do we, that they will trot obediently into the voting booth in 2012 to do as they are told. And everywhere the pulse of the nation is being assiduously monitored through polls and focus groups, not because our opinions matter, but because our troll candidates understand that by parroting back to us our own viewpoints they can continue to spend their days lapping up corporate money with other trolls in the two houses of Congress, the White House, the Supreme Court and television studios where they chat with troll celebrity journalists."
Libyan Rebels Set Deadline for Qaddafi Forces to Surrender
http://www.truth-out.org/libyan-rebels-set-deadline-qaddafi-forces-surrender/1314727691
Kareem Fahim, Neil MacFarquhar and Alan Cowell, The New York Times News Service: "With NATO suggesting that talks were under way between Libya's combatants, the country's increasingly self-confident rebels on Tuesday offered forces loyal to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi a four-day deadline to surrender in their final redoubts after months of fighting that have swept the insurgents from their eastern strongholds to Tripoli."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Dr. James Hansen Arrested Outside White House Protesting Against the TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news-thom-hartmann-dr-james-goddard-arrested-outside-white-house-protesting-against-transcanada-keys
In today's On the News segment: Sen. John Thune from South Dakota says constituents don't want cuts to Medicare and Social Security; Government Accountability Organization reports many health insurers will lower premiums next year as result of the medical loss ratio provision in the Affordable Care Act; after GOP Congress members banned camera's and recording devices, US Court of Appeals ruled citizens have right to film government officials conducting official business; Irene's death toll has now topped 40; Dr. James Hansen arrested outside White House protesting against the TransCanada Keystone Pipeline; North Ana nuclear plant in Virginia under investigation after last week's freak earthquake; and more.
Ex-Bush Official Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: "I Am Willing to Testify" if Dick Cheney Is Put on Trial (Video)
http://www.truth-out.org/ex-bush-official-col-lawrence-wilkerson-i-am-willing-testify-if-dick-cheney-put-trial/1314726521
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: "As former Vice President Dick Cheney publishes his long-awaited memoir, we speak to Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell. 'This is a book written out of fear, fear that one day someone will "Pinochet" Dick Cheney,' says Wilkerson, alluding to the former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, who was arrested for war crimes. Wilkerson also calls for George W. Bush and Cheney to be held accountable for their crimes in office. 'I'd be willing to testify, and I'd be willing to take any punishment I'm due,' Wilkerson said."
Six Years After Katrina, the Battle for New Orleans Continues
http://www.truth-out.org/battle-new-orleans-6-years-after-katrina/1314717883
Jordan Flaherty, The Root: "As this weekend's storm has reminded us, hurricanes can be a threat to U.S. cities on the East Coast as well as the Gulf. But the vast changes that have taken place in New Orleans since Katrina have had little to do with weather, and everything to do with political struggles. Six years after the federal levees failed and 80 percent of the city was flooded, New Orleans has lost 80,000 jobs and 110,000 residents. It is a whiter and wealthier city, with tourist areas well-maintained while communities like the Lower 9th Ward remain devastated. Beyond the statistics, it is still a much-contested city."
Eight Reasons Why Raising the Medicare Age Is the Worst Presidential "Bargain" Since 1854
http://www.truth-out.org/raising-medicare-age-8-reasons-its-worst-presidential-bargain-1854/1314710511
Richard Eskow, Campaign for America's Future: "When it comes to the 'Grand Bargain' they're pushing in Washington, the movie posters for The Fly said it best: Be afraid. Be very afraid. Other people are using our lives as bargaining chips. Whether it's the so-called Congressional 'Super Committee' or the President's push for that grande-sized deal, they want to look 'grand' while we get stuck with the 'bargain.'"
Thom Hartmann | Unequal Taxes
http://www.truth-out.org/unequal-protection-unequal-taxes/1314714610
Thom Hartmann, Berrett-Koehler Publishers: "It costs money to run a government, and the more you want the government to do, the more it usually costs. One point to consider is how much do we want our government to do? Another is, who should pay for it? Tax policy is how government funds its services and also one way it fulfills the will of the people who elect it by providing tax incentives or disincentives for particular types of behaviors. Consider how home mortgage interest deductibility has fueled home buying, for example. As we have seen ... some companies have worked hard to get out of paying for anything, including taxes."
Comics Publishers: Who Are They?
http://www.truth-out.org/comics-publishers-who-are-they/1314629970
Anne Elizabeth Moore and Lucy Knisely, Truthout: "In this installment of Ladydrawers, we can begin to put together one reason so much of the industry seems dominated by men - in terms of labor, at least, it is. Is it a vicious circle, most evident in the outfits worn by big-buxomed super heroines in an endless array of licensed titles? A sheer accident, an oversight on the part of one small, but influential, group of publishers? Or, as our previous Ladydrawers installment hinted, a well-planned conspiracy?"
Paul Krugman | Europe's Crisis of Currencies
http://www.truth-out.org/europes-crisis-currencies/1314650976
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: "John Plender, a columnist at The Financial Times, seems mystified by something that has become obvious lately: Bond vigilantes are only going after countries that no longer have their own currencies ... Oddly, he seems unaware of the pretty good explanation offered by Paul DeGrauwe, an economist and researcher at the Center for European Policy Studies, which I've sketched out a bit further. Part of the answer is that countries on the euro are stuck with a severe competitiveness problem that can only be resolved with grinding deflation, making their debt problems worse."
Economic Update: Your Weekly Dose of Revolutionary Economics (Audio)
http://www.truth-out.org/economic-update-your-weekly-dose-revolutionary-economics/1310498361
Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: "At a time of economic crisis, the Federal Reserve, an arm of the US government, made available over $1 trillion without much collateral and way below market interest rates to save banks. It did not offer anything comparable to the millions of people who were unemployed and needed help to get through a period of unemployment that was not their fault."
