William Rivers Pitt | Class Warfare My Ass
http://www.truth-out.org/class-warfare-my-ass/1316806211
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "Psssst...it is class warfare: full-throated=
, no-bullshit class warfare, and the rich ones whining about it are the one=
s who are winning. Be on your own side for a change of pace. They got the =
guns, as a man once said, but we got the numbers. It is class warfare, and =
has been for a generation. We've been losing, badly. For now."
Shutdown Closer as Senate Blocks Spending Bill
http://www.truth-out.org/shutdown-closer-senate-blocks-spending-bill/131687=
2751
Jennifer Steinhauer, The New York Times News Service: "An impasse between t=
he House and Senate over a bill to keep the government open after Sept. 30 =
and provide aid to natural disaster victims deepened Friday as the Senate e=
asily shot down a House measure passed just hours before.... The dispute me=
ant that less than six months after the fiscal throwdown that left the gove=
rnment at the precipice of a shutdown last spring, Congress has brought the=
nation there again."
Social Justice Food Isn't Just About Food
http://www.truth-out.org/its-not-just-about-food/1316874550
Eric Schlosser, The Nation: "Any movement that focuses too narrowly on food=
is bound to fail when 46 million Americans live below the poverty line. Wi=
thout a fundamental commitment to social justice, the estimated 1=E2=80=932=
percent of Americans who eat organic food will be indistinguishable from t=
he 1=E2=80=932 percent who control almost all of this country's wealth and =
power."
Will Perry's Halting Debate Lead to a Faltering Campaign?
http://www.truth-out.org/will-perrys-halting-debate-lead-faltering-campaign=
/1316875459
Steven Thomma, McClatchy Newspapers: "Is Rick Perry about to lose his momen=
tum toward the Republican presidential nomination? The Texas governor turne=
d in a weak performance in a debate Thursday, raising questions about how r=
eady he is for the rigors of a tough campaign and how much Republicans real=
ly know about the man."
Attica's 40th Anniversary: Still on the Wrong Road
http://www.truth-out.org/atticas-40th-anniversary-still-wrong-road/13167144=
33
Michael E. Deutsch, Truthout: "Attica and its aftermath exposed the powder =
kegs ready to explode inside the US prisons and the urgent need to change t=
he reigning penology and administrative practices throughout the federal, s=
tate and local prison systems. Attica uncovered the hidden reality that the=
prisons and jails were increasingly the socioeconomic destination for the =
poor and wildly disproportionate numbers of black people, as well as politi=
cal militants."
Report: Border Patrol Abuses on the Rise
http://www.truth-out.org/report-border-patrol-abuses-rise/1316878052
Valeria Fernandez, New America Media: "The number of apprehensions of undoc=
umented immigrants on the U.S.-Mexico border has dropped, but reports of ab=
uses against immigrants are on the rise. Those are the findings of a new re=
port released by the Arizona humanitarian aid organization No More Deaths."
Is the "Special Relationship" Becoming Too Expensive?
http://www.truth-out.org/special-relationship-becoming-too-expensive/131688=
0005
Jamie Stern-Weiner, New Left Project: "The wave of popular uprisings across=
the Middle East created many new spaces for popular political participatio=
n. Even where those new spaces are now coming under counterrevolutionary at=
tack, as in Egypt, many Arab governments have had to modify their policies =
to better reflect the views of an increasingly assertive public. From the b=
eginning it was clear that this shift would come at the expense of 'the US-=
Israeli-Saudi system' in the region."
Obama to Unveil Plan That Drastically Changes No Child Left Behind
http://www.truth-out.org/obama-unveil-plan-drastically-changes-no-child-lef=
t-behind/1316882082
Diane Rado, McClatchy Newspapers: "For nearly a decade, public schools arou=
nd the country have struggled to meet federal academic standards, considere=
d 'failing' when too many children flunked achievement tests. But if the Wh=
ite House has its way, schools and districts no longer would be labeled fai=
lures and No Child Left Behind - the landmark education act signed into law=
by President George W. Bush in January 2002 - would be overhauled."
Amid Solyndra Mess, DOE Stays Course on Making Solar as Cheap as Coal
http://www.truth-out.org/amid-solyndra-mess-doe-stays-course-making-solar-c=
heap-coal/1316882588
Maria Gallucci, InsideClimate News: "In the midst of the largest scandal to=
rock the U.S. solar industry, the Department of Energy is plowing ahead wi=
th a series of smaller initiatives that could help sun-fueled electricity c=
ompete with conventional energy supplies. The goal of the DOE's SunShot Ini=
tiative is to trim the costs of owning and operating solar systems by 75 pe=
rcent by 2020. This month, just days after California solar firm Solyndra's=
collapse sparked criticism of President Obama's clean energy push, the dep=
artment doled out more than $145 million in grants to nearly 70 advanced so=
lar technology projects."
Wall Street Vampires
http://www.truth-out.org/wall-street-vampires/1316883324
Rachel Lewis, Citizen Vox: "Vampires. Thieves of the night. As sunlight is =
said to be deadly to them, these mythical creatures venture out to drain th=
e blood from their innocent victims only when it is dark outside. Judging =
by the reactions of Wall Street to Public Citizen's attempt to shine a ligh=
t on their industry, it seems sunlight kills more than vampires though. Lad=
y Liberty can't help but wonder if the Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan et al cre=
w are trying to audition for the next season of True Blood ... or, more lik=
ely, they have something to hide."=20
