William Rivers Pitt | The Savage Arithmetic of the Pre-Existing Condition
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/8202-the-savage-arithmetic-of-the-pre-existing-condition
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "We're enveloped in a national debate about insurance mandates and the political leanings of nine Supreme Court Justices. That's all well and good, but entirely beside the point. A nation that does not care for its sick and infirm is a nation that does not deserve to exist. A nation that actively profits from the pain and suffering of those sick and infirm deserves to burn in Hell."
Afghanistan Chronicles: Near Ground Zero and in Af-Pak Region, Two Labyrinths
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8170-near-ground-zero-and-in-af-pak-region-two-labyrinths
Suzanne Bauman, Jim Burroughs, Truthout: "It's been said that England's Queen Victoria gave Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya to her grandson, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, as a birthday present. Whatever actually happened, this story makes clear how casually European empire-builders assumed they could divvy up regions of the world under their control according to their whim. During her reign in the 1890s, the British made a colossal mistake, which remains a root cause of the instability in South Asia to this day."
All Parties Ignore the One Way to Reduce Health Care Costs: Single-Payer
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/8195-all-parties-ignore-the-one-way-to-reduce-healthcare-costs
David U. Himmelstein MD and Steffie Woolhandler MD, MPH, Truthout: "Both parties studiously avoid the one health-reform solution that - unlike computers - would actually save money while sparing patients: single-payer, nonprofit national health insurance. Research shows that single-payer reform could save about $380 billion annually that's currently wasted on insurers' overhead and the unnecessary paperwork (and screen-work) they inflict on hospitals, doctors and patients."
Can You Predict an Outcome From Supreme Court Justices' Questions?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8200-can-you-predict-an-outcome-from-supreme-court-justices-questions
Michael Doyle, McClatchy Newspapers: "Widely considered one of two potential swing votes, Roberts asked 19 questions of Verrilli, the Obama administration's chief lawyer, during the crucial Tuesday arguments over the health care law's individual mandate. Roberts asked only two questions that day of Paul Clement, the attorney who wants the law struck down, a transcript review shows. Kennedy, the other potential swing vote, divided his questions Tuesday more evenly among the two sides."
Fault Lines: Occupy Wall Street: Surviving the Winter
http://truth-out.org/video/item/8210-fault-lines-part-2
Fault Lines, Al Jazeera English: "Fault Lines follows key Occupy organisers through the winter as they continue to build a movement even after violent evictions across the country." Watch the Video.
CWA Union Teams Up With Free Press, Consumer Groups to Oppose Telecom Deregulation
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8207-cwa-union-teams-up-with-free-press-consumer-groups-to-oppose-telecom-deregulation
Mike Elk, In These Times: "The Communications Workers of America union has been criticized by progressive consumers groups like Free Press for its positions on net neutrality and the proposed AT&T-T-Mobile merger. Now, though, CWA is teaming up with groups like Free Press to fight two big bills that they say would deregulate the telecommunications industry, help build telecom monopolies and lead to telecom job losses."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Anti-Austerity Strikes Halted Business in Spain Yesterday, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8218-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-anti-austerity-strikes-in-spain-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Supreme Court now deciding the fate of Obamacare, the recall vote of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is set, new oil subsidies sail through Congress, natural gas platform disaster continues to unfold in the North Sea, Egyptian courts censor Internet pornography, and more.
Break Up the Big Banks, Says the Dallas Fed
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8214-break-up-the-banks-says-the-dallas-fed
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "When I spoke with one of the Street's major defenders in the Capitol this morning he snorted 'Dallas represents small regional banks that are jealous of Wall Street.' When I reminded him the Dallas Fed was about the most conservative of the regional banks and knew first-hand about the dangers of under-regulated banks - the Savings and Loan crisis ripped through Texas like nowhere else - he said 'Dallas doesn't know its [backside] from a prairie gopher hole'."
Israel Shields Public From Risks of War With Iran
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8206-israel-shields-public-from-risks-of-war-with-iran
Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service: "The message that Iran is too weak to threaten an effective counterattack is contradicted by one of Israel's leading experts on Iranian missiles and the head of its missile defence programme for nearly a decade, who says Iranian missiles are capable of doing significant damage to Israeli targets."
Northeast Markets Eyed for Oil Sands as Clean Fuels Standard Fades
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8213-northeast-markets-eyed-for-oil-sands-as-clean-fuels-standard-fades
Maria Gallucci, InsideClimate News: "Opponents have been ratcheting up efforts to keep a California-style standard from taking hold in the Northeast, and they're finding receptive audiences in some Republican-leaning states. Now, all participants are considering alternatives, including making the program voluntary."
Campaign Spending Shows Political Ties, Self-Dealing
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8212-campaign-spending-shows-political-ties-self-dealing
Kim Barker, Al Shaw, ProPublica: "Our analysis found that more than $306 million has been spent so far by major super PACs and the five leading presidential candidates. In some cases, payees serve both candidates and the super PACs aligned with them, raising the specter that groups may be working together in ways that violate the rules, campaign finance experts said. We also found instances in which overseers of some political action committees directed hefty fees to their own companies, a legal form of self-dealing."
Let's Stop Big Media's (B)AD Behavior
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8216-lets-stop-big-medias-bad-behavior
Bill Moyers, Michael Winship, Moyers & Co.: "'You want coverage?' the broadcaster replied. 'Buy some ads and then we'll talk!' That pretty well sums up the game. But hold your nose: it gets worse. The media companies and their local stations - including goliaths like CBS and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp - stand to pull in as much as $3 billion this year from political ads. Three billion dollars! And most of that money will pay for airing ugly, toxic negative ads that use special effects, snide jokes and flat out deception to take us to the lowest common denominator of politics."
The Corporations Bankrolling ALEC, Which Has Promoted the "Stand Your Ground" Gun Law as a "Model" Bill
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8217-the-corporations-bankrolling-alec-which-has-promoted-the-stand-your-ground-gun-law-as-a-model-bill
Brendan Fischer, PRWatch: "The National Rifle Association (NRA) is not the only special interest that has funded ALEC's operations over the years. Kraft, Wal-Mart, State Farm, and other well-known corporations are ALEC members and give thousands of dollars a year to ALEC to support its work, sit on its board, have a vote on its task forces, and access lawmakers through ALEC meetings at fancy resorts."
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Time to End America's "Drift" to Permanent War: Introducing a Book by Rachel Maddow
http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/13415
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "In short, if we build a military-industrial complex, we are compelled to do something with it, and that something is war - or what Maddow refers to in Chapter 8 as, 'One Hell of a Killing Machine.' Without a draft, without focused coverage of our wars, without extensive Congressional oversight, most US citizens tune out our national military engagements abroad. Maddow notes that, 'less than one percent of the adult US population' serves in the military - and many of those so-called 'volunteers,' BuzzFlash adds, just need a job."
