Occupy Movement Wins Spate of Legal Battles, but Faces New Challenges Ahead=
as "NATO 3" Face Terrorism Charges
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9247-occupy-movement-wins-spate-of-legal-bat=
tles-as-nato-three-arrested-but-faces-new-challenges-ahead
J.A. Myerson, Truthout: "Three activists have been charged with 'possession=
of incendiary or explosive device, conspiracy to commit terrorism & provid=
ing material support for terrorism,' which seems to mean 'beer-making equip=
ment'. The 'NATO 3' were among nine activist abducted by police in a nightt=
ime raid and disappeared for a number of hours. The three activists had pre=
viously posted a video of Chicago Police intimidating and threatening them =
with physical violence while they searched the protesters' vehicle."
The NATO Raids and Arrests: This Is What Jail Solidarity Looks Like
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9251-this-is-what-jail-solidarity-looks-like
Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: "Only a few hours after they were released from h=
ours in solitary confinement, a few of the activist arrested in a Wednesday=
evening raid on a Chicago home were happy to be eating something that wasn=
't a baloney sandwich. [One activist] said 'I had to go to the bathroom in =
shackles. I felt like I was in Gitmo.' [Another said] 'I didn't know what t=
ime of day it was =E2=80=A6 That's what solitary confinement is for, it's t=
orture.'"
One System for All: Universal Access to Health Care
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9220-one-system-for-all-universal-access-to-=
health-care
Beverly Bell, Other Worlds: "Julie Castro is a young doctor from France, a =
country that proves that it is possible for a nation to offer quality healt=
h care for all. The French system's slogan is, 'Everyone contributes accord=
ing to his resources and receives according to his needs.' And this is not =
just rhetoric. As has been proven elsewhere, and as some in French civil so=
ciety are now realizing, a strong health care system can only survive if th=
e population =EF=AC=81ghts to protect it."
Donations to Scott Walker Flagged as Potential Fraud
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9245-donations-to-scott-walker-flagged-as-po=

Kim Barker, ProPublica: "When MaryAnn Nellis tried to pay for groceries, he=
r credit card was declined. Her credit card company had flagged an earlier =
purchase as potentially fraudulent. The problem? A $5 donation to Friends o=
f Scott Walker, the Wisconsin governor's campaign committee. There have bee=
n other reports recently about insecure campaign-donation websites and the =
potential for fraud =E2=80=A6 Restore Our Future, the super PAC supporting =

Andrew Jacobs, The New York Times News Service: "Chen Guangcheng, the blind=

sion to seek refuge in the American Embassy here jolted American-Sino relat=
ions, left China aboard a commercial flight bound for Newark on Saturday=E2=
=80=A6. Many Chinese dissidents and rights advocates were celebrating, amon=

Chen to go abroad."
Why Protest NATO?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9234-why-protest-nato
Sam Jewler, Truthout: "In many ways, Afghanistan is worse off under NATO's =
Groundhog Day-like reign of terror than it was before=E2=80=A6. Civilian de=
aths have become a hallmark of NATO interventions, in which forces rely on =
so-called precise aerial campaigns so as not to risk their own soldiers' li=
ves. Even in the Balkans, NATO's first and signature so-called 'humanitaria=
n war,' it's estimated that there were thousands of civilian deaths and tha=
t tens of billions of dollars worth of damage was done."
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the Most Expensive Weapon Ever

Ben Freeman, Truthout: "Tom Cruise steps onto the tarmac =E2=80=A6 and the =

Suzanne Merkelson, Republic Report: "There's no data available yet on lobby=
