Henry A. Giroux | The Scorched-Earth Politics of America's Four Fundamentalisms
http://www.truth-out.org/scorched-earth-politics-americas-four-fundamentalisms/1330979344
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: "Americans seem confident in the mythical notion that the United States is a free nation dedicated to reproducing the principles of equality, justice and democracy. What has been ignored in this delusional view is the growing rise of an expanded national security state since 2001 and an attack on individual rights that suggests that the United States has more in common with authoritarian regimes like China and Cuba 'than anyone may like to admit.'"
Way Beyond Greenwashing: Have Corporations Captured "Big Conservation"?
http://www.truth-out.org/way-beyond-greenwashing-have-corporations-captured-big-conservation/1331048650
Jonathan Latham, Dollars and Sense: "Imagine an international mega-deal. The global organic food industry agrees to support international agribusiness in clearing as much tropical rainforest as they want for farming. In return, agribusiness agrees to farm the now-deforested land using organic methods, and the organic industry encourages its supporters to buy the resulting timber and food under the newly devised 'Rainforest Plus' label. There would surely be an international outcry."
Netanyahu Tells Obama Israel May Attack Iran Alone if Necessary
http://www.truth-out.org/netanyahu-tells-obama-israel-may-attack-iran-alone-if-necessary/1331048376
Lesley Clark and Jonathan S. Landay, McClatchy Newspapers: "Highlighting their different views of the threat posed by Iran's nuclear program, President Barack Obama insisted Monday that diplomacy still has time to halt the effort, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reasserted Israel's right to take unilateral military action, saying the Jewish state must remain 'the master of its fate.'"
Koch Brothers in Battle With Cato Institute Over Control
http://www.truth-out.org/koch-brothers-battle-cato-institute-over-control/1331046131-0
Eric Lichtblau, The New York Times News Service: "From its perch in a spacious brand-new headquarters blocks from the White House, the Cato Institute has built on its reputation as a venerable libertarian research center unafraid to cross party lines. Now, however, a rift with one of its founding members - the billionaire conservative Charles Koch - is threatening the institute's identity and independence, its leaders say, and is exposing fault lines over Mr. Koch's aggressive and well-financed brand of Republican politics."
American Airlines Union President Sees Future Without Pensions
http://www.truth-out.org/american-airlines-union-president-sees-future-without-pensions/1331043965
Josh Eidelson, In These Times: "Weeks after American Airlines' parent company AMR submitted a bankruptcy proposal to its three unions, labor and management say time is running out to reach negotiated settlements. Any unions that don't reach deals with AMR may have their new contract terms, and the number of layoffs, set directly by a bankruptcy judge."
Super Tuesday - Ten States, Coast to Coast, and It's All About Delegates
http://www.truth-out.org/super-tuesday-10-states-coast-coast-and-its-all-about-delegates/1331043123
Steven Thomma and David Lightman, McClatchy Newspapers: "The Republican presidential campaign spreads out across 10 states Tuesday - Super Tuesday - a coast-to-coast test that could allow front-runner Mitt Romney to start pulling away from his persistent rivals. Challengers Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul each have a shot at victories in selected corners of the Tuesday map, and each should win some delegates."
Japan's Illegal Environmental Impact Assessment of the Henoko Base
http://www.truth-out.org/japans-illegal-environmental-impact-assessment-henoko-base/1330984681
Sakurai Kunitoshi, The Asia-Pacific Journal - Japan Focus: "Before dawn on December 28, 2011, with the end of the year looming, the Okinawa Defense Bureau (ODB) delivered a load of cardboard boxes to the office of the Okinawa Prefectural Government. The boxes contained copies of the environmental impact statement (EIS) for a base in the Henoko district of Nago that is planned as the replacement for the US Marines Corps Air Station Futenma."
Imperial Valley Residents Must Fight for Right to Breathe Clean Air
http://www.truth-out.org/imperial-valley-residents-must-fight-right-breathe-clean-air/1330982707
David Bacon, New America Media: "Today, the land surrounding the two towns is farmed in huge tracts of hundreds of acres. To make the desert productive, ranchers not only built the world's largest irrigation canal, but also developed farming methods dependent on chemical fertilizers and strong pesticides. Even with the recent advance of some large-scale organic operations, it's still common to drive a local highway and see a small airplane called a cropduster make circular swoops and passes over the green crops."
