Why the Banks Are Too Big to Jail
http://www.truth-out.org/too-big-jail/1329944291
Simon Johnson, Project Syndicate: "The main motivation behind the administration's indulgence of serious criminality evidently is fear of the consequences of taking tough action on individual bankers. And maybe officials are right to be afraid, given the massive size of the banks in question relative to the economy. In fact, those banks are bigger now than they were before the crisis."
Deja Vu in Chicago as Occupying Workers Secure Victory
http://www.truth-out.org/deja-vu-chicago-occupying-workers-secure-victory/1330095110
Allison Kilkenny, In These Times: "More than three years ago, a group of about 200 workers from Republic Windows & Doors organized a six-day sit-in demanding vacation and severance pay after suddenly being laid off near the holidays. A new group of about 65 workers locked themselves inside the same factory this week in a desperate move to save their jobs once again."
Guantanamo Detainees Who Cooperate With Government Could Be Removed From Indefinite Detention List, Repatriated, Defense Lawyers Told
http://www.truth-out.org/guantanamo-detainees-who-cooperate-government-could-be-removed-indefinite-detention-list/1330093634
Jason Leopold, Truthout: "There are still 171 detainees imprisoned at Guantanamo. More than half have already been cleared for release. Thirty-six are expected to face war crimes charges and the remainder were deemed by the Obama administration as being too dangerous to release or too difficult to prosecute because the evidence against them is tainted due to the fact that they were tortured."
OWS PR Working Group Statement on the 99 Percent Declaration
http://www.truth-out.org/ows-pr-working-group-statement-99-declaration/1330101568
Press Relations Working Group, NYC General Assembly: "The 99% Declaration and its call for a 'national general assembly' in Philadelphia in July is not affiliated with or endorsed by Occupy Wall Street, and the organizers' plans blatantly contradict OWS' stated principles."
Jim Hightower | Cooperatives Over Corporations
http://www.truth-out.org/cooperatives-over-corporations/1330091031
Jim Hightower, Truthout: "The Powers That Be keep us tethered to this unjust system of plutocratic rule only by constantly ballyhooing it as a divine perpetual wealth machine that showers manna on America. Any tampering with the hierarchical control of the finely tuned machinery of trickle-down corporate capitalism, they warn, will cause a collapse and crush American prosperity. Ha! Prosperity for whom?"
Michael Winship | Mike Daisey Takes a Bite Out of Apple
http://www.truth-out.org/mike-daisey-takes-bite-out-apple/1330095840
Michael Winship, Moyers & Co.: "Daisey says, 'If Apple would spend less energy finessing its public image, and instead apply its efforts to real transparency and accountability, it could be a true leader for the electronics industry. Apple today is still saying what it said yesterday: trust us, we know best, there's nothing to worry about. They have not earned the trust they are asking for.'"
New York Court Affirms Towns' Powers to Ban Fracking
http://www.truth-out.org/new-york-court-affirms-towns-powers-ban-fracking/1330092955
Lena Groeger, ProPublica: "In a decision that could set a national precedent for how local governments can regulate gas drilling, a New York state court yesterday ruled for the first time that towns have the right to ban drilling despite a state regulation asserting they cannot."
Revealed: Corporation-Courting Imperialist Thomas Friedman
http://www.truth-out.org/interview-belen-fernandez/1330016083
Aaron Leonard, Truthout: "This short book shreds any sense of integrity that Friedman might have for the uninitiated, and provides plenty of substance for those needing the polemical ammunition to challenge this powerful spokesman. I recently interviewed the book's author Belen Fernandez via email."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Dropping BRICs on the International Monetary Fund, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news-thom-hartmann-dropping-brics-imf/1330107650
In today's On the News segment: postal workers are getting shafted, Rahm Emanuel's public school shock doctrine, Virginia's "personhood" bill defeated, and more.
Seven Female Missouri House Members Say They Were Kept Out of Contraception Debate
http://www.truth-out.org/7-female-missouri-house-members-say-they-were-kept-out-contraception-debate/1330093848
Jason Hancock, McClatchy Newspapers: "Seven states filed suit Thursday, alleging the rule would effectively force religious employers and organizations to drop health insurance coverage, which would raise enrollment in state Medicaid programs and increase patient numbers at state-subsidized hospitals and medical centers."
Palestinian Hunger Striker Wins Victory in Battle of Wills With Israeli Army
http://www.truth-out.org/palestinian-hunger-striker-wins-victory-battle-wills-israeli-army/1330095526
Richard Silverstein, Truthout: "Palestinian political prisoner Khader Adnan ended his 65-day hunger strike in an Israeli prison last night, after Israeli authorities made a deal that he would be released in April at the end of his current term. One learns never fully to trust that outcomes will occur as promised. Nevertheless, this is a tremendously hopeful moment for Adnan and all Palestinian prisoners."
Don't Bank on an End to Santorum's Surges
http://www.truth-out.org/dont-bank-end-sanatorums-surges/1329942514
James Lewis and Andrew DiAntonio, Truthout: "Politicized Christianity seems to be a strange bedfellow for a GOP espousing small government. They desire to wield St. Michael's sword with the power of the Oval Office. The exact mechanism for accomplishing the goals of the Alpha and Omega with a small government remains to be seen."
Bill Moyers Programming Note: Popular Culture and Political Culture
http://www.truth-out.org/bill-moyers-programming-note-popular-culture-and-political-culture/1330097255
Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: "How does pop culture not only reflect, but influence political culture? On this weekend's Moyers & Company (check local listings), historian and culture critic Neal Gabler joins Bill to discuss how representations of heroism in movies shape our expectations of a U.S. President, and how our real-world candidates are packaged into superficial, two-dimensional personas designed to appeal to both the electorate and the media."
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Ten Reasons the GOP Wants to Ditch the Constitution
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "One of the great ironies of the Republican Party right wing - which is to say the current crop of GOP presidential contenders - is their alleged reverence for the Constitution and the 'founding fathers.' But, many of their more provocative public statements appear to jettison the Constitution. Furthermore, many of the individuals who created the US system of government were deists and supporters of the Age of Reason (Enlightenment) - believers in the power of the human mind, not advocates of a rigid and mystical religious faith."
