Beyond the Big Lie: The Education Deficit and the New Authoritarianism
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9865-beyond-the-politics-of-the-big-lie-the-education-deficit-and-the-new-authoritarianism
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: "The American public is suffering from an education deficit. By this I mean it exhibits a growing inability to think critically, question authority, be reflective, weigh evidence, discriminate between reasoned arguments and opinions, listen across differences and engage the mutually informing relationship between private problems and broader public issues. This growing political and cultural illiteracy is not merely a problem of the individual, one that points to simple ignorance."
Exclusive: Interview With Chris Hayes
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9871-the-truthout-interview-with-chris-hayes
In this exclusive interview, the author of "Twilight of the Elites" tells Truthout: "The upper echelons of the meritocracy are increasingly extremely wealthy and money is a neatly quantifiable way of defining "merit." You end up with a perversely self-reinforcing definition. Rich people are deserving because they are rich."
Why the Senate Won't Touch Jamie Dimon: How JPMorgan Props Up US Debt
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9876-the-jpmorgan-derivatives-propping-up-us-debt-why-the-senate-wont-touch-jamie-dimon
Ellen Brown, Truthout: "When Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase Bank, appeared before the Senate Banking Committee on June 13, he was wearing cufflinks bearing the presidential seal. 'Was Dimon trying to send any particular message by wearing the presidential cufflinks?' asked CNBC editor John Carney. 'Was he ... subtly hinting that he's really the guy in charge?'"
Eight Defendants Found Guilty in Occupy Trespass Case
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9870-eight-defendants-found-guilty-in-occupy-trespass-case
John Knefel, Truthout: "The trial that pitted Occupy Wall Street (OWS) against Trinity Wall Street ended on June 18, with Judge Matthew Sciarrino ruling that all eight defendants were guilty of misdemeanor trespassing. In addition, defendant Mark Adams was found guilty of attempted criminal mischief and attempted possession of burglary tools. Adams was sentenced to 45 days in jail to be served on Rikers Island and was led from the courtroom in handcuffs. The other seven defendants were given four days community service and forced to pay a $200 mandatory court surcharge."
Mom-Turned-Activist Launches National Movement to Boycott GMOs
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9873-mom-turned-activist-launches-national-movement-to-boycott-gmos
Katherine Paul, Organic Consumers Association: "Diana Reeves was furious when her state legislators caved into threats by Monsanto to sue the state of Connecticut if it passed a GMO labeling law. Lawmakers effectively told Connecticut's voters, who had clearly expressed overwhelming support for GMO labeling, 'oh well.'"
Democratic Unfreedom - Social Technique and the Manufacture of Control
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9769-democratic-unfreedom-social-technique-and-the-manufacture-of-control
Kingsley Dennis, Truthout: "A particular example of corporatism and social control can be found within global food systems, the ways they are monopolized and managed. The control and management of global food supplies has been a corporate and political priority for decades, with US-based conglomerates leading the charge. As elite establishment political figure Henry Kissinger remarked in 1970, 'Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.' Recent research places multinational corporations behind the push toward controlling global food supplies."
West's Idea of Nuclear Disarmament Doesn't Include Itself
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9758-wests-idea-of-nuclear-disarmament-doesnt-include-itself
Russ Wellen, Truthout: "When dueling narratives clash and the subject is nuclear weapons, the sparks that fly could make flashing sabers seem dim in comparison. According to conventional thinking in the West, Iran is not abiding by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and restraining itself from all nuclear weapons activities. Thus, it should be denied its right to enrich uranium. But in the view of much of the rest of the world, the West is making little more than cosmetic efforts to roll back its nuclear arsenals. Therefore, it has no business denying Iran nuclear energy - not to mention nuclear weapons (but that's another story)."
Euro Fears Mount in Spite of Greek Election Results
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9864-euro-fears-mount-in-spite-of-greek-election-results
Kevin G. Hall, McClatchy Newspapers: "Weekend election results in Greece did little to settle concerns about a Europe-driven global economic slowdown, with investors and analysts shifting attention Monday to Mexico, Spain and the United States for the next steps. Greek voters, by a slim majority, voted Sunday for the pro-austerity New Democracy party, in what amounted to a referendum on whether to remain in the European Union."
Deep-Sixing the China Option
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9869-deep-sixing-the-china-option
Hillary Mann Leverett and Flynt Leverett, TomDispatch.com: "America's Iran policy remains stuck in a delusion similar to the one that warped its China policy for two decades after China's revolutionaries took power in 1949 - that Washington could somehow isolate, strangle, and ultimately bring down a political order created through mass mobilization and dedicated to restoring national independence after a long period of Western domination. It didn't work in the Chinese case and it's not likely to in Iran either."
How Can Labor Combat Obama's Secret "NAFTA of the Pacific"?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9874-how-can-labor-combat-obamas-secret-nafta-of-the-pacific?
Cynthia Phinney, Labor Notes: "The latest project of corporations seeking to ease movement of capital around the globe is the Trans Pacific Partnership, known by activists as 'NAFTA of the Pacific.' Text of the proposal that leaked this week, released by the consumer group Public Citizen, indicate the free trade proposal will continue strong rights for investors and weak protections for labor, the environment, and local democracy."

http://truth-out.org/news/item/9880-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-mitt-romney-comes-out-in-opposition-to-hiring-more-public-workers-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Anti-austerity parties actually nabbed 52 percent of the vote in Sunday's elections in Greece, Mitt Romney has come out in staunch opposition to hiring more public workers, the Texas Democratic Party endorses decriminalizing marijuana, there could be trouble brewing at the San Onofre nuclear power plant in California, and more.
Bill Moyers | How to Own an Election
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9866-how-to-own-an-election
Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: "In this Bill Moyers Essay, Bill calls out some of the biggest political and super PAC donors, revealing how easy it is for the wealthy one percent to sway an election."
In a Shift, Biggest Wave of Migrants Is Now Asian
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9863-in-a-shift-biggest-wave-of-migrants-is-now-asian
Kirk Semple, The New York Times News Service: "Asians have surpassed Hispanics as the largest wave of new immigrants to the United States, pushing the population of Asian descent to a record 18.2 million and helping to make Asians the fastest-growing racial group in the country, according to a study released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center."
Election Countdown 2012: Human Rights Envoys Call on US Officials to Explain the Use of Excessive Force on Occupy Protesters, and More

TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Washington Post Upchuck Teaser of the Day: "Is Mitt Romney Loosening Up?"
http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/13561
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "So, The Washington Post today touts a story which is so full of fluff, it makes cotton candy look like a nutritious meal. The email teaser for the story is 'Is Mitt Romney loosening up?' The story itself is headlined, 'Mitt Romney receives newfound enthusiasm from Republicans.' Now that could be an accurate assessment, if it weren't for the purely anecdotal and cliched structure of the story."
