Tim Wise | Is the Era of White Privilege Nearing an End?
http://www.truth-out.org/dear-white-america-letter-new-minority/1330444746
Tim Wise, City Lights Books: "Though we may prefer to deny it, I know that there is such a thing as white America. I know it because I am white myself, and have lived a life that has been intensely racialized. It's an experience that I doubt seriously is mine alone.... So even though everyone is different, being white in America has meant something, just as being black, Latino, Asian or an indigenous person has meant something. History happened, and it matters."
Tax Cash-Hoarding Banks, Create Jobs and Protect Social Security
http://www.truth-out.org/fighting-seriously-jobs-and-social-security/1330446773
Robert Pollin, Truthout: "As the severe unemployment crisis drags into its third year, proposals for solving the crisis are proliferating. Still more ideas will be tossed into the mix as the 2012 election season intensifies.... The single worst idea in the mix, supported by deficit hawks in both the Democratic and Republican Parties, is that we are facing a fiscal train wreck and that we therefore, above all, need to cut government spending."
The Never-Ending and Never-Prosecuted Humanitarian Disaster in Iraq
http://www.truth-out.org/never-ending-and-never-prosecuted-humanitarian-disaster-iraq/1330109137
Dirk Adriaensens, Truthout: "To date, no US official has been held accountable for US policies leading to abuse in Iraq, or for the lies that started the war. Despite the decreased US presence in Iraq, the country has been permanently affected and accountability should be high on the agenda of Pillay's office."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: All Eyes on Michigan for Critical GOP Primary, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news-thom-hartmann-all-eyes-michigan-critical-gop-primary-and-more/1330457150
In today's On the News segment: Polls show a dead heat between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum in Michigan, the Supreme Court is set to hear a case that could give corporations the power to commit genocide with no consequences, Wisconsin moved one step closer to a recall election on Monday, the world's most infamous whistleblower Julian Assange is in the crosshairs of the United States, and more.
Robert Greenwald and Derrick Crowe | Sorry's Not Good Enough in Afghanistan. Here's Why
http://www.truth-out.org/sorrys-not-good-enough-afghanistan-heres-why/1330461208
Robert Greenwald and Derrick Crowe, Brave New Foundation: "As violence continues following the burning of Korans by ISAF in Afghanistan, insiders in Washington, D.C. and in the media are wasting quite a bit of breath asking the rhetorical question, 'Why aren't the apologies working?' Military commanders in Afghanistan apologized profusely, President Obama exposed himself to the demagoguery of Republican primary opponents with his own apology. Why does the violence continue?"
A Fresh Blot on Murdoch's Sun
http://www.truth-out.org/fresh-blot-murdochs-sun/1330452479
Sarah Lyall, The New York Times News Service: "A day after presiding over the publication of his new, damn-the-critics Sun on Sunday tabloid, Rupert Murdoch was confronted with fresh allegations from a top police investigator that the daily Sun had systematically paid large sums of money to 'a network of corrupted officials' in the British police, military and government."
Police Evict Occupy London, Arrest 20 Protesters
http://www.truth-out.org/terrible-sight-police-evict-occupy-london-arrest-20-protesters/1330443657
Allison Kilkenny, In These Times: "Police dressed in riot gear evicted Occupy London and removed the camp's tents at St. Paul's Cathedral just after midnight on Tuesday. Hundreds of police and around 100 bailiffs swarmed the campsite and arrested about 20 individuals, some of whom reportedly tried to form a barricade and set off smoke bombs to prevent officials from clearing the area."
Robert Reich | As Santorum and Romney Battle for the Loony Right, the Rest of Us Should Not Gloat
http://www.truth-out.org/santorum-and-romney-battle-loony-right-rest-us-should-not-gloat/1330451380
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "My father was a Republican for the first 78 years of his life. For the last twenty, he's been a Democrat (he just celebrated his 98th.) What happened? 'They lost me,' he says. They're losing even more Americans now, as the four remaining GOP candidates seek to out-do one another in their race for the votes of the loony right that's taken over the Grand Old Party. But the rest of us have reason to worry. A party of birthers, creationists, theocrats, climate-change deniers, nativists, gay-bashers, anti-abortionists, media paranoids, anti-intellectuals, and out-of-touch country clubbers cannot govern America."
Known Unknowns in the BP Oil Disaster Trial
http://www.truth-out.org/known-unknowns-bp-oil-disaster-trial/1330455733
Brentin Mock, Bridge the Gulf: "A lot of worry is swirling around about what would happen if BP settles. With 303 witnesses lined up to testify for the government's civil trial, millions of pages of documents and thousands of individuals and businesses looking to sue BP for the oil disaster that ruined them (as Sue Sturgis at Facing South illustrates), there is an expectation that truth and justice will emerge from this colossal lawsuit."
Paul Krugman | In the US, Stimulate Demand by Reversing Local Austerity
http://www.truth-out.org/us-stimulate-demand-reversing-local-austerity/1330452003
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: "One question that arises when we talk about the possibility of reversing the disastrous push for austerity runs something like this: 'OK, you say you want more government spending, but what should it spend money on?' The truth is that I think the perceived lack of shovel-ready projects in the United States was overstated even in 2009, but it was a real concern. The point I want to make is that matters now are actually a lot easier."
White House Applauds Decision to Build Part of Keystone XL Pipeline
http://www.truth-out.org/white-house-applauds-decision-build-part-keystone-xl-pipeline/1330439983
Lesley Clark and Renee Schoof, McClatchy Newspapers: "With President Barack Obama facing fire from Republicans over the rising cost of gasoline, the White House moved quickly Monday to trumpet a Canadian company's decision to build a section of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline from Cushing, Okla., to Houston after Obama blocked a longer path last month.... In fact, energy experts say that the Keystone XL pipeline wouldn't do much to lower gasoline prices. The recent price spike stems largely from speculators bidding up prices at a time of growing fear of future oil-supply disruptions if a war with Iran develops over its nuclear program."
Japan Weighed Evacuating Tokyo in Nuclear Crisis
http://www.truth-out.org/japan-weighed-evacuating-tokyo-nuclear-crisis/1330440193
Martin Fackler, The New York Times News Service: "In the darkest moments of last year's nuclear accident, Japanese leaders did not know the actual extent of damage at the plant and secretly considered the possibility of evacuating Tokyo, even as they tried to play down the risks in public, an independent investigation into the accident disclosed on Monday."
Chris Hedges | Ralph Nader: Occupy the Minimum Wage and Impact the Election
http://www.truth-out.org/ralph-nader-occupy-minimum-wage-and-impact-election/1330439686
Chris Hedges, Truthdig: "The Occupy movement may be able to forge a powerful alliance with millions of working men and women around a national call to raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour. The drive to establish new encampments, while important, is going to be long and difficult. The ongoing efforts to stand up to the foreclosure and mortgage crisis, the marches to hold Wall Street accountable, the protests against stop-and-frisk policies in New York City or police brutality in Oakland, while vital, do not draw the numbers into the streets across the country needed to loosen the grip of the corporate state."
Blown Away: How the US Fanned the Flames in Afghanistan
http://www.truth-out.org/blown-away-how-us-fanned-flames-afghanistan/1330438517
Tom Engelhardt and Nick Turse, TomDispatch: "Amid the reportage about the recent explosion of Afghan anger over the torching of Korans in a burn pit at Bagram Air Base, there was a tiny news item that caught the spirit of the moment. As anti-American protests (and the deaths of protestors) mounted across Afghanistan, the German military made a sudden decision to immediately abandon a 50-man outpost in the north of the country. True, they had planned to leave it a few weeks later, but consider the move a tiny sign of the increasing itchiness of Washington's NATO allies."
