New Free Trade Agreements Threaten to Kill Jobs and Labor Rights
http://www.truth-out.org/new-free-trade-agreements-threaten-kill-jobs-and-labor-rights/1318363783
David Bacon, Truthout: "Last week, President Obama broke his campaign commitment and put three free trade agreements up for a vote in Congress. Business interests, ecstatic at the prospect, promise they'll bring us jobs. Experience tells us, however, their promises are worthless. Nineteen years ago, when the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was in Congress, supporters said it, too, would create jobs and protect labor rights. Before agreeing to new free trade treaties with Colombia, South Korea and Panama, Congress should look at the dismal record."
Iraq War Lessons Learned? Keep Rumsfeld Away From All Things Defense
http://www.truth-out.org/iraq-war-lessons-learned-keep-rumsfeld-away-all-things-defense/1318427578
Dina Rasor, Truthout: "There have been numerous other writers who have gone into great detail about the damage Rumsfeld did to our country in selling the Iraq war and in allowing torture and other outrages in the war, but many don't know how badly he messed up the invasion of Iraq and the logistics of the war."
Mortgage Bankers Association Comes to Chicago, Receives Wrathful Welcome
http://www.truth-out.org/mortgage-bankers-association-comes-chicago-receives-wrathful-welcome/1318431407
Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: "When the Mortgage Bankers Association decided to hold their annual conference in Chicago, they weren't counting on a welcome committee. What they got was more than 7,000 protesters taking over the road underneath their downtown rooftop reception at the city's Art Institute, chanting, 'We are the 99 percent' and 'How to fix the deficit? Tax, tax, tax the rich.' Take Back Chicago, a coalition of labor unions and community groups, were joined by Occupy Chicago in the first of a three-day series of demonstrations around the Mortgage Bankers Association meeting."
Domestic Violence Law Repealed in Topeka, Kansas, to Save Money
http://www.truth-out.org/domestic-violence-law-repealed-topeka-kansas-save-money/1318424912
Joe Lambe, McClatchy Newspapers: "The Topeka City Council on Tuesday voted to repeal the city's law against misdemeanor domestic battery, the latest in a budget battle that has freed about 30 abuse suspects from charges. One of the offenders was even arrested and released twice since the brouhaha broke out Sept. 8."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: New Poll Shows 53 Percent of Republicans Support Raising Taxes on the Wealthy, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news-thom-hartmann-new-poll-shows-53-republicans-support-raising-taxes-wealthy/1318443142
In today's On the News segment: New poll shows that two-thirds of Americans - and even 53 percent of Republicans - support raising taxes on the wealthy, the 30-year cold war between the United States and Iran may soon turn hot, Republicans unanimously filibustered Obama's jobs bill in the Senate last night, the 99 percent movement took to the halls of the Senate yesterday, Occupy Wall Street movement is going global, and more.
Occupy Wall Street Takes the Upper East Side
http://www.truth-out.org/occupy-wall-street-takes-upper-east-side/1318434299
J.A. Myerson, Truthout: "Fifth Avenue at number 838 is a massive building, overlooking the southeast corner of Central Park. Blocks from the world-famous Plaza Hotel, the only people likely to pass by this block are extremely wealthy. See, New York is a de facto segregated city, by race, by income and by power status. No one who lives on this block or any of the blocks near it is poor, middle class, upper middle class, or even quite well off. The people who live on this block are all extremely rich."
Senate Falls Short of Votes to Take Up Obama's Big Jobs Bill
http://www.truth-out.org/senate-falls-short-votes-take-obamas-big-jobs-bill/1318428049
William Douglas, McClatchy Newspapers: "The Democrat-led Senate effectively killed President Barack Obama's $447 billion jobs plan Tuesday as the White House and Democratic lawmakers talked of breaking the president's plan into pieces to try to push it through Congress. Senators voted 50-49 on a procedural move to take up Obama's plan, but 60 votes were required under Senate rules for lawmakers to proceed on the measure."
Jim Hightower | Playing Washington's Inside Game
http://www.truth-out.org/playing-washingtons-inside-game/1318423310
Jim Hightower, Truthout: "And then there were 12. When the 435 House members and 100 senators failed in July to agree on a long-term deficit reduction plan, congressional leaders did what they often do when they don't know what to do: They appointed a committee. But don't sneer, for this is - cue the trumpets - a supercommittee! Made up of only a dozen lawmakers and perfectly balanced between Repubs and Dems, this panel is to find about $1.5 trillion in spending cuts and new revenues to shrink the federal deficit. They are to come to an agreement by Thanksgiving - how's that for a symbolic deadline? The theory is that the group will be small enough to work together across partisan lines for the good of the country, independent of the competing budgetary needs of various groups and the demands of special interests."
House Amendment to Reverse Citizens United Ruling Meets With Mixed Support
http://www.truth-out.org/house-amendment-reverse-citizens-united-ruling-meets-mixed-support/1318437164
Britney Schultz, Truthout: "In the wake of the landmark Supreme Court case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which upheld that corporations were 'persons' and that their deep-pocket political expenditures were a constitutionally protected expression of their free speech rights, much resistance to the decision has sprung up, from the grassroots to the halls of power in Washington."
Hundreds "Occupy Dublin," Europe's Next Greece
http://www.truth-out.org/protests-grow-europes-next-greece/1318364786
Ryan Harvey, Even If Your Voice Shakes: "Hundreds 'Occupy Dublin' as Wall Street tactic spreads. 'What are you protesting against?' asks a man walking home from the pub last night. 'Is this about the IMF?' When I answer that yes, this is about the IMF, he gets excited. 'Fuck the IMF,' he says as he starts to walk further into the crowd. For another hour, he enters conversations with various people at the camp site set up in front of the Central Bank of Ireland the day before after an internet call went out to 'Occupy Dublin.'"
No New Penalty Trial Likely: US Supreme Court Confirms Third Circuit Ruling Lifting Mumia Abu-Jamal's Death Penalty
http://www.truth-out.org/no-new-penalty-trial-likely-us-supreme-court-confirms-3rd-circuit-ruling-lifting-mumia-abu-jamal%E2%80%99s-d
Dave Lindorff, ThisCantBeHappening!: "Here's a prediction: Seth Williams, the district attorney of Philadelphia, will decide not to seek to reimpose the death penalty on Mumia Abu-Jamal, the world-famous journalist, former Black Panther and condemned prisoner who has spent the last almost 30 years of his life on Pennsylvania's overcrowded death row."
Capitalism and Poverty
http://www.truth-out.org/capitalism-and-poverty/1318426007
Richard D. Wolff, MR Zine: "The US Census Bureau recently reported what most Americans already knew. Poverty is deepening. The gap between rich and poor is growing. Slippage soon into the ranks of the poor now confronts tens of millions of Americans who long thought of themselves as securely 'middle class.'"
Grotesque, Immoral and Profoundly Anti-Democratic: The Death Penalty Should Be Repealed
http://www.truth-out.org/grotesque-immoral-and-profoundly-anti-democratic/1318428851
Kade Crockford, Truthout and ACLU Massachusetts: "'The death penalty is grotesque and immoral and should be repealed.' So says a New York Times editorial opposing capital punishment in the wake of Troy Davis' execution in Georgia late last month. Those are strong words from the Grey Lady, and I couldn't agree more. Many have demonstrated convincingly that Troy Davis' trial and prosecution were riddled with racism, error and possibly even prosecutorial misconduct. The American justice system failed Mr. Davis with tragic, irreparable results - and the Supreme Court wouldn't step in to remedy the injustice, in part because he had been granted full due process under the law. In the eyes of at least two justices, that's all he or anyone else is guaranteed - not necessarily justice, just due process."
