William Rivers Pitt | The Dawn's Early Light
http://truthout.org/news/item/10137-the-dawns-early-light
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "Tonight at 10:30 PM, if the weather decides to behave, I will look up into the sky and behold one of the greatest spectacles to be found anywhere in America.... All those pretty lights in the sky, however, will do nothing to obscure the brutal truths facing America. As we celebrate the anniversary of freedom, we become more and more each day a country that seems to have forgotten the meaning of the word."
Bill Moyers | Thomas Jefferson's Betrayal
http://truth-out.org/video/item/10147-thomas-jeffersons-betrayal
Bill Moyers, Moyers & Company: "We should remember that behind this Fourth of July holiday are human beings, like Thomas Jefferson, who were as flawed and conflicted as they were inspired, who espoused great humanistic ideals while behaving with reprehensible racial discrimination. That conflict - between what we know and how we live - is still a struggle in contemporary politics and society."
Waiting for Helicopters? Cholera, Prejudice and the Right to Water in Haiti
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10154-waiting-for-helicopters?-cholera-prejudice-and-the-right-to-water-in-haiti
Deepa Panchang, Other Worlds: "'Where you stand,' goes an old Haitian proverb, 'depends on where you sit.' This article, the second in a series, will examine aid workers' stereotypes and prejudices about residents of displacement camps in post-earthquake Haiti, stemming from acute disconnects between NGOs and the people they are there to work with. We explore how these misperceptions have perpetuated deliberate decisions to deny water and sanitation services to desperate survivors."
Our Interpretations of Patriotism Can Inspire Solidarity or Discrimination: Which Will Americans Choose?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10149-our-ideas-about-patriotism-can-inspire-solidarity-or-discrimination-which-will-Americans-choose
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "The first version of patriotism is protecting America from people beyond our borders who might otherwise overrun us - whether immigrants coming here illegally or foreign powers threatening us with aggression. The second version of patriotism is joining together for the common good.... It also means paying our fair share of taxes so our community or nation has enough resources to meet all our needs, and preserving and protecting our system of government."
Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Negotiations Seal Obama's Pro-Corporate Approach to Foreign Policy
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10150-trans-pacific-partnership-trade-agreement-seals-obamas-pro-corporate-approach-to-foreign-policy
Mark Engler, Dissent Magazine: "With recent revelations about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement, it is now safe to say that President Obama has surpassed George W. Bush as a champion of the flawed and offensive ideology of corporate globalization.... In the past month the president has officially failed out of 'fair trade' class ... [T]he TPP - a trade agreement being negotiated between the United States and eight Pacific countries under considerable secrecy - is shaping up to be as bad as NAFTA or worse."
Remembering the Violence and Elitism Behind US Independence
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10148-oh-say-maybe-we-cant-see-another-4th-of-july
David Swanson, War Is a Crime: "It's just possible that the space of 236 years and a truckload of fireworks are obscuring our vision. It's hard for us to see what should be obvious. Many nations - including Canada as the nearest example - have gained their independence without wars. We claim that a war was for independence, but if we could have had all the same advantages without the war, would that not have been better?"
E.J. Dionne Jr. | The Founders' True Spirit
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10151-the-founders-true-spirit
E.J. Dionne Jr., The Washington Post Writers Group: "Constitutional questions enter the political conversation in the United States more than in most countries because our diverse nation is bound by our founding principles, not by blood, race or ethnicity. This has advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantages are our openness and the fact that we tend to argue on the basis of high principles. The biggest disadvantage is that differences over policy are often disguised as differences over whether a preferred choice is constitutional or not."
Why Don't Americans Take More Vacations? Blame it on Independence Day
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10153-why-dont-americans-take-more-vacations-blame-it-on-independence-day
Yves Smith, Naked Capitalism: "This hidden history of our national celebration is only a small portion of [author Alex] Carey's account of the extent and reach of the Americanization campaign. It shows how big business has led a long-standing, persistent, and well-financed campaign to turn the public against fighting for one's rights if those rights are workplace rights."
