We, the 99 Percent, Demand the End of the Wars Now
http://www.truth-out.org/we-99-percent-demand-end-wars-now/1318014376
Robert Naiman, Truthout: "After ten years of war, now is a perfect time to act to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.... A Congressional 'supercommittee' is charged with coming up with $1.5 trillion in reduced debt over ten years, and the wars and the bloated Pentagon budget dangle before the supercommittee like overripe fruit.... A key lesson from Iraq for Afghanistan is this: we can force the Pentagon to eat a timetable for military withdrawal, and once we've forced them to eat it, we have the ability to force them to keep it down."
Controversial Decision Awaits as Hearing on Oil Sands Pipeline Ends
http://www.truth-out.org/controversial-decision-awaits-hearing-oil-sands-pipeline-ends/1318087002
Renee Schoof, McClatchy Newspapers: "With the formal debate over on Friday, a decision on an oil pipeline that will cross America's heartland and open up a greater market for Canada's oil sands now rests with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In the last of nine public hearings, people got three minutes each to tell two State Department officials their views about whether the pipeline from the oil sands to Texas refineries is in the nation's best interest."
A Citizens' Campaign for a New National Security Policy
http://www.truth-out.org/citizens-campaign-new-national-security-policy/1318007598
Gareth Porter, Truthout: "The starting point for a citizens' campaign for a new national security strategy should be to call attention to the reality that US wars - supposedly against terrorism - have produced clear winners and losers. The winners are the leaders of the military, the Pentagon, the CIA and their private sector and elected political allies. Aggressive US wars are not merely the result of mistaken policies, but of the national security institutions pursuing their own interests at the expense of the interests of the American people."
An Interview With Henry Giroux: Youth Movement in a Culture of Hopelessness
http://www.truth-out.org/interview-henry-giroux-youth-movement-culture-hopelessness/1318092302
Jesse Strauss, Al Jazeera English: "Al Jazeera spoke with Henry Giroux about how young people have been culturally alienated by the political and economic systems of the country widely regarded as the example of democracy, and why the 'Occupy' movement needs to stay focused on youth."
Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chair: Events Like Fukushima Too Rare to Require Immediate Changes
http://www.truth-out.org/nrc-chair-jaczko-events-fukushima-too-rare-require-immediate-change-licensing-process/1318013371
Gregg Levine, Truthout: "For those that think nothing has changed in United States' regulation since the Japanese earthquake and tsunami started the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility, think again. The pre-disaster mentality of 'What could possibly go wrong?' has been replaced with reassurances that 'Stuff like that hardly ever happens!' At least that is the impression conveyed by the current Chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Gregory Jaczko, in a pair of early October interviews."
Anti-Immigrant Legislation Hits Alabama Factories
http://www.truth-out.org/anti-immigrant-legislation-hits-alabama-factories/1318093860
Valeria Fernandez and Suzanne Maneh, New America Media: "In half a dozen chicken processing plants such as this one, which is an important source of employment in the town of 21,000 inhabitants, the absence of immigrants has become visible.... For some immigrants ... it is not the fear of being discovered at work that concerns them, but that the police could detain them in the street and their children would be in the government's custody, should they be deported."
Using Ethnic Tensions for Political Games (and Gains): Anti-Roma Protests in Bulgaria
http://www.truth-out.org/using-ethnic-tensions-political-games-and-gains-anti-roma-protests-bulgaria/1317845616
Elana Faye Resnick, Truthout: "Anti-Roma sentiment continues to spread throughout Bulgaria, just in time for the presidential elections on October 23.... Yes, protests against Roma are dangerous and must be stopped before violence ensures, but this wave of anti-Gypsy sentiment is an important symptom of larger political and economic issues - of countrywide poverty, high-level government corruption and the misuse of European Union (EU) funds. Right now, most people want a Band-Aid, but what they need most is to look at what created this massive societal wound."
Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkul Karman on Human Rights Abuses Enabled by 'War on Terror'
http://www.truth-out.org/yemeni-nobel-peace-prize-laureate-tawakkul-karman-human-rights-abuses-enabled-war-terror/1318096029
Tawakkul Karman, Democracy Now!: "Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkul Karman, one of three recipients who split the award this year, spoke in New York City at the Brecht Forum in September 2010 about state violence, targeted killings, and human rights abuses enabled by the so-called 'War on Terror'.... Karman notes that by cooperating with the Yemeni government's repression of its opponents, the United States 'has transitioned from being the leader of the free world to a watch dog for tyrant regimes.'"
In Somalia, Rape is the Hidden Side of the Famine Crisis
http://www.truth-out.org/somalia-rape-hidden-side-famine-crisis/1318097329
Isaiah Esipisu, Inter Press Service: "As hundreds of tired, weak and malnourished women and children stream into Dadaab from famine-hit Somalia daily, the journey, for many of the women, would have been a harrowing one.... But even after the women have settled in, many do not come forward to speak about the violence they experienced on their way to the camp."
Where Post Office is the Town's Heart, Fears of Closings
http://www.truth-out.org/where-post-office-towns-heart-fears-closings/1318092715
Steven Greenhouse, The New York Times News Service: "In Neville, and in many towns around the country these days, homespun conversations over post office counters are often turning from the latest gossip to a worrisome, newly pressing issue: the United States Postal Service has warned 3,700 communities, many of them in rural areas, that it is considering shuttering their local offices over the next few months."
