William Rivers Pitt | The Cult of Death
http://www.truth-out.org/cult-death/1315937077
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "These 'Tea Party' people profess to be representatives of average Americans, despite being a complete creation of the 0.1% wealthy elite. They claim government is too big, even as many of them hail from states (think Texas) that would utterly collapse without federal funding. They bring guns to public rallies. They like Medicare, until they are reminded that Medicare is a government program. And they are 'Christians,' members of the faithful, who enjoy executions and who think uninsured people should be left to die."
Noam Chomsky | Not Since the War of 1812
http://www.truth-out.org/not-war-1812/1315840072
Noam Chomsky, Seven Stories Press: "The horrifying atrocities of September 11 are something quite new in world affairs, not in their scale and character, but in the target. For the United States, this is the first time since the War of 1812 that the national territory has been under attack, or even threatened.... For the first time, the guns have been directed the other way. That is a dramatic change."
US Poverty Rate, One in Six at Highest Level in Years
http://www.truth-out.org/us-poverty-rate-1-6-highest-level-years/1315931339
Sabrina Tavernise, The New York Times News Service: "The portion of Americans living in poverty last year rose to the highest level since 1993, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday, fresh evidence that the sluggish economic recovery has done nothing for the country's poorest citizens."

In today's On the News segment: Shocking debate moment, libertarian Ron Paul asked if a 30-year-old without health insurance and in dire need of medical care should be let die, crowd yelled "Yes!"; victims of the Joplin tornado back in May still haven't received help; Republicans working to cut federal Pell Grant programs; United States is ONLY G-20 nation where new workers have less education than retiring workers; another giant oil slick has been discovered in Gulf of Mexico; and more.
Militants Launch Attack on US Embassy in Kabul
http://www.truth-out.org/militants-launch-attack-us-embassy-kabul/1315931638
Alissa J. Rubin and Jack Healy, The New York Times News Service: "Insurgents launched a complex assault against the American Embassy and the nearby NATO headquarters on Tuesday, pelting the heavily guarded compounds with rockets in an attack that raised new questions about the security of Afghanistan's capital and the Westerners working there."
Little Brothers Are Watching: The Example of Massachusetts
http://www.truth-out.org/little-brothers-are-watching-example-massachusetts/1314215927
Nancy Murray and Kade Crockford, Truthout and ACLU Massachusetts: "Early in the morning on March 13, 2008, Australian-born Peter Watchorn, one of the world's foremost harpsichordists, was standing on a subway platform in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a professional cellist from Australia who had his instrument with him. They were on their way to Logan International Airport to catch a plane. After going a few stops, all the trains in the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) subway system were brought to a halt while theirs was searched with sniffer dogs. They thought they still could make their plane when their train started up again and they made it to the connecting bus. But before they reached their terminal, they were hauled off the bus and subjected to an abusive search - by no fewer than eight officers - during which the cello, valued at $250,000, was nearly tipped out of the case."
Perry, Romney Duel on Social Security at Tea Party Debate
http://www.truth-out.org/perry-romney-duel-social-security-tea-party-debate/1315924476
David Lightman, McClatchy Newspapers: "The future of Social Security, a pivotal issue in retiree-rich Florida, seized the political spotlight at Monday's Republican presidential debate as Mitt Romney tried hard to tar Texas Gov. Rick Perry as insensitive and overly eager to tear the popular system apart. In a sometimes intense debate full of charges and countercharges on a wide variety of issues, Romney landed strong blows on Perry."
Thom Hartmann | Humans v. Corporations: Unequal Privacy
http://www.truth-out.org/unequal-privacy/1315925754
Thom Hartmann, Berrett-Koehler Publishers: "Who reads your mail? Nobody? It depends what system you use for communication. Paper mail that is delivered by the government-run U.S. Postal Service carries legal protections for the privacy of our communications. Nobody, at least without a court order, can read our letters or track what we send and receive. But if you send an e-mail, the corporation that provides your Internet access can keep track of who you correspond with, what Web sites you visit, and everything you write, read, and view."
Green Jobs: A Promise Unfulfilled
http://www.truth-out.org/green-jobs-promise-unfulfilled/1315925888
Russ Choma, New America Media: "When Barack Obama was running for president, he promised to spend $150 billion over the next decade on renewable energy technologies, an investment that would lead to 5 million new, high-paying jobs that could never be outsourced. Once elected, Obama pushed through an economic stimulus plan that allocated $500 million to green job training efforts giving all Americans a shot at good jobs that benefit the environment. But more than two years later, these green job-training initiatives have fallen far short of the hype. Out-of-work Americans are finding that special training isn't always enough to get a good 'green' job. Or that the jobs they do qualify for have lousy pay and may last only as long as the government subsidizes them."
Graphic Evidence of Inequality
http://www.truth-out.org/graphic-evidence-inequality/1315924156
Anne Elizabeth Moore and MariNaomi, Truthout: "In the last installment of Ladydrawers we looked at some statistics culled from some recently published comics - all from last spring! - that painted a pretty dire overall picture of one form of media. This time, though, we get a little more specific: Anne Elizabeth Moore and MariNaomi break down the numbers by publishers. Who is publishing female creators and who is not? We also break this into estimated page counts and average out the MSRP attributable to women creators - just so we can start to imagine how much labor, and what income, might be coming their way."
Ten Years of Capital Gains Tax Cuts Proves: Rich Win, You Lose
http://www.truth-out.org/ten-years-capital-gains-tax-cuts-proves-rich-win-you-lose/1315923296
Dave Johnson, Campaign for America's Future: "Why are 'capital gains' taxes so much lower than taxes on other income? The reason capital gains taxes are lower is because most of the income of the rich is from capital gains. And the reason most of the income of the rich is from capital gains is because capital gains taxes are lower."
What the Future Will Remember About America's Decline and Fall
http://www.truth-out.org/edward-gibbon-americas-grave-what-future-will-remember-about-americas-decline-and-fall/1315923071
Mike Davis, TomDispatch: "Someday - perhaps sooner than we think - a new Edward Gibbon in China or India will surely sit down to write The History of the Decline and Fall of the American Empire. Hopefully it will be but one volume in a larger, more progressive oeuvre - The Renaissance of Asia perhaps - and not an obituary for a human future sucked into America's grasping void. I think she'll probably classify self-righteous American 'innocence' as one of the most toxic tributaries of national decline, with President Obama as its highest incarnation."
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Ron Paul knows something about uninsured men dying without health insurance. Kent Snyder, who was Paul's 2008 presidential campaign manager, died on June 26 of that year without any medical coverage. His hospital bills had accumulated to $400,000 at the time of his passing.
The Washington Post noted in an obituary for Snyder, 49: (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/10/AR2008071002937.html )
"Mr. Snyder had been associated with Paul, a Texas Republican with Libertarian leanings, for more than 20 years. He worked as a top aide for Paul in 1988, when the congressman sought the presidency on the Libertarian ticket.
In 2007, Mr. Snyder helped persuade Paul to launch a bid for the Republican nomination and served as chairman of his campaign. Paul raised millions of dollars from online contributors, leading all Republican contenders early in the race. He failed to attract many voters, however, and ended his candidacy in June."
So, an aide who was pivotal to the political fortunes and fundraising for Paul wasn't even given health insurance - in his hour of need - by the libertarian Congressman.
By now, almost all BuzzFlash at Truthout readers know or saw (http://vodpod.com/watch/15400845-tea-party-crowd-cheers-letting-uninsured-die?u=buzzflash&c=buzzflash ) how the bloodlust of the Tea Party roared with approval when Paul said that people without health insurance are taking their own risks, and that is the way it should be.
A Pensito Review article (http://www.pensitoreview.com/2008/07/16/drron-paul-campaign-mgr-dies-uninsured/ ) from 2008 noted, "Snyder's death and his lack of health insurance has triggered a behind-the-scenes debate among Paul supporters and libertarian activists over whether or not the Paul campaign should have provided health insurance to its staff."
Actually, Paul was a touch more compassionate then his gladiator fight audience. He said that the churches should provide health care to the uninsured, that "our neighbors, our friends, our churches would do it." (http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Stories/2011/September/13/transcript-gop-debate-health-care-issues.aspx )
That's not how it played itself out with your longtime fundraiser and campaign manager, Kent Snyder, Dr. Paul.
He didn't even get the health coverage he needed from you, nor did you pick up his $400,000 medical care bill after he died.
