Henry A. Giroux | Counter-Memory and the Politics of Loss After 9/11
http://www.truth-out.org/counter-memory-and-politics-loss-after-911/1315595429
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: "What 9/11 made clear is that just memory
requires those elements of counter-memory that challenge the official
narratives of 9/11 in order to recover the most valuable and most
vulnerable elements of democratic culture too often sacrificed in
tragedy's aftermath. Now we need to seize upon the retrieval of
innumerable forms of compassion, solidarity, courage and collective
will that for a brief moment illuminated the best of what American
democracy can become."
The Great Health Care Takeaway
http://www.truth-out.org/great-health-care-takeaway/1314713826
Shamus Cooke, Truthout: "Most workers now understand that there is a
difference between apparently having health care and actually having
health care: if you are technically 'insured,' but cannot afford
doctor visits due to high deductibles and co-pays, you really aren't
insured. This fact, applied to Medicare, has startling consequences.
The New England Journal of Medicine found, 'For every 100 people
enrolled in plans that raised co-pays, there were 20 fewer doctor
visits, 2 additional hospital admissions and 13 more days spent in the
hospital ...'"
Blast at Nuclear Site Is Said to Kill One Person
http://www.truth-out.org/blast-french-nuclear-site-said-kill-one-person/1315848635
Steven Erlanger and Nicola Clark, The New York Times News Service:
"One person was killed and four were injured Monday afternoon in an
explosion at a nuclear waste treatment site in southern France,
according to the French Nuclear Safety Authority. The authority and
local police officials said there had been no radiation leak. Some
five hours after the explosion, the authority announced that the
episode was over. The site, about 20 miles from Avignon, has no
nuclear reactors, the authority said. A spokesman for the French power
utility E.D.F., which owns the site, said, 'It is an industrial
accident, not a nuclear one.'"
War: The Fiscal Stimulus of Last Resort
http://www.truth-out.org/war-fiscal-stimulus-last-resort/1315833669
Ellen Brown, Web of Debt: "The notion that war is good for the economy
goes back at least to World War II. Critics of Keynesian-style deficit
spending insisted that it was war, not deficit spending, that got the
U.S. out of the Great Depression. But while war may have triggered the
surge in productivity that followed, the reason war worked was that it
opened the deficit floodgates. The war was a huge stimulus to economic
growth, not because it was a cost-effective use of resources, but
because nobody worries about deficits in wartime."
Chris Hedges | A Decade After 9/11, We Are What We Loathe
http://www.truth-out.org/decade-after-911-we-are-what-we-loathe/1315836650
Chris Hedges, Truthdig: "What was played out in the weeks after the
attacks was the old, familiar battle between force and human
imagination, between the crude instruments of violence and the
capacity for empathy and understanding. Human imagination lost.
Coldblooded reason, which does not speak the language of the
imagination, won. We began to speak and think in the empty, mindless
nationalist cliches about terror that the state handed to us."
Jim Hightower | DuPont's Herbicide Goes Rogue
http://www.truth-out.org/duponts-herbicide-goes-rogue/1315835789
Jim Hightower, Other Words: "In the corporate world's tortured language, workers are no longer fired. They just experience an 'employment adjustment.' But the most twisted euphemism I've heard in a long time comes from DuPont: 'We are investigating the reports of these unfavorable tree symptoms,' the pesticide maker recently stated. How unfavorable? Finito, flat-lined, the tree is dead. Not just one tree, but hundreds of thousands all across the country are suffering the final 'symptom.'"
Uncle Sam Does(n't) Want You
http://www.truth-out.org/uncle-sam-doesnt-want-you/1315833817
Steve Fraser and Josh Freeman, TomDispatch: "Along with the 'business
cycle,' including stock market bubbles and busts and other economic
perturbations, unemployment has been normalized. No one thinks it's a
good thing, of course, but it's certainly not something that should
cause us to question the way the economy is organized. Long gone are
the times when unemployment was so shocking and traumatic that it took
people back to the basics. We don't, for instance, even use that
phrase 'the reserve army of labor' anymore. It strikes many, along
with 'class struggle' and 'working class,' as embarrassing."

Changing of the Guard After "Don't Ask Don't Tell" Ends
http://www.truth-out.org/changing-guard-dont-ask-dont-tell-ends/1315834665
Franco Ordonez, McClatchy Newspapers: "Next week, openly gay men and
women will be able to serve in the U.S. military. At Fort Jackson,
it's Capt. Guy Allsup's job to ensure that recruits in Charlie Company
now realize a soldier is a soldier: gay or straight. The 29-year-old
recently walked 231 nervous basic training recruits through
scenarios."
Does President Obama Want to Impose a Crushing Burden on Our Children?
http://www.truth-out.org/does-president-obama-want-impose-crushing-burden-our-children/1315833566
Dean Baker, Truthout: "Sorry deficit fanatics, this one has nothing to
do with the cost of the stimulus or the deficits run up during the
Obama years. We're talking real money here. We're talking about plans
to raise the age of Medicare eligibility to 67."
Who's Building the "Do It Ourselves" Economy?
http://www.truth-out.org/whos-building-do-it-ourselves-economy/1315839641
Sarah van Gelder and Doug Pibel, YES! Magazine: "Growth has failed to
yield prosperity, and the planet cannot bear more of it. So how do we
create an economy that provides dignified livelihoods to all who are
willing to work, without undermining the natural systems we, and our
children, rely on? A real solution requires a vision that is both
humble in terms of the material wealth we can expect and ambitious
about the fairness, mutual support, and quality of life we can build.
Here is a three-part plan for building real prosperity in an age of
limits."
Tunisia: "Our Revolution Is of a Modern Type"
http://www.truth-out.org/tunisia-our-revolution-modern-type/1315837951
Pierre Barbancey, translated by Isabelle Metral and Derek Hanson,
l'Humanite in English: "... these verses provide a possible foundation for a modernist reading of Qur'an that can reconcile modern politics, democracy, the rule of law, constitutionalism with the spirit of Islam. On condition that the spirit, and not the letter, is taken into account. For the letter kills, the spirit vivifies. The system of Islamic thought is not definitively incompatible with modernity but everything depends on how the texts will be read."
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Why is our energy policy fossilized with policies that are bankrupting
us, polluting toxins into the air and water and serving as the
catalyst to launch wars to control oil reserves?
That is because there is no separation between our government's
federal energy policy and the "industry's" energy policy. They are
virtually one and the same. That means that the profits of the oil
companies, the coal barons and other fossil fuel businesses are
basically in charge of driving a strategic policy that is economically
ruining us and preventing the development of alternative energy
sources.
China, on the other hand, has little distinction between primarily
state-owned energy companies and the government's policies on the
matter (although there is an expansion of "private" energy companies).
Therefore, it is driven by a mandate to develop the most effective,
most modern sources of fuel. In fact, it created the China Energy Conservation Investment Corporation, which is devoted to funding more efficient energy.
That is the major reason it is light years ahead of the US in
nurturing the solar, hydropower and wind power industries, among
others. Yes, China heavily subsidizes its alternative fuel
initiatives, but shouldn't the US government be doing the same? Why
isn't the entire south of the United States powered in large part by
solar and wind energy? Why isn't geothermal technology at an advance
development state in the US?
This is the crux of the matter: the more the US develops alternative
energy sources, the more the oil companies and their fossil fuel
cohorts are likely to decrease profits. The less the US plays a role
in developing alternative energy and keeping the US hooked on fossil
fuel, the greater the bloated profits of the current antiquated
providers rise as scarcity increases.
That is literally the bottom line.
In China, since the government heavily dominates the energy industry -
for all practical purposes - decreasing the cost of fuel and creating
new sources that, in the long term, will be more durable and less
expensive is good strategic policy. Relying on fossil fuel will hamper
China's economic growth, as is currently happening in the US. For
China, long-term dependence on fossil fuels will result in a strain on
economic growth, not a profit.
So, the people who killed the electric car several times (now having
its tenth or 11th "rebirth"), who have impeded solar energy, who
scrapped mass transportation in Los Angeles, who are supporting a
toxic Keystone XL pipeline through the US to export oil overseas and
who have done everything possible to keep us junkies hooked on fossil fuels, these people continue to prevent the US government from advancing
nontoxic and less expensive (in the long term, sun and wind power will
never be exhausted) energy.
China is proof that alternative fuel development is best for a nation
looking to the future, not looking to pad the multibillion-dollar
profits of a fossil fuel industry.
