Truthout Staff Editorial | Declaring Internet Freedom for All
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10172-sopa-opponents-issue-declaration-of-internet-freedom
Staff, Truthout: "Earlier this year, a massive Internet blackout strike and millions of signatures on online petitions put pressure on Congress and defeated the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA), two bills that would have allowed the government and big media conglomerates to censor the web in the name of protecting copyrighted material. Now, the coalition of activists and groups that led the fight against SOPA and PIPA have issued a Declaration of Internet Freedom."
Bill Moyers | Messing With Texas Textbooks
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10188-bill-moyers-messing-with-texas-textbooks
Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: "One of the tasks of the Texas State Board of Education is to update curriculum standards and textbooks for Texas schoolchildren.... In 2010, the board got a lot of attention when it approved over 100 amendments - many of which had a very clear conservative political agenda - to the social studies and economics curriculum standards. Here are some of the more pointed proposals."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: The Current Heat Wave Could Lead to a Food Crisis, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10196-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-the-current-heat-wave-could-lead-to-a-food-crisis-and-more
In today's On the News segment: The global warming heat wave that's been scorching the nation could lead to a food crisis; at least fifteen Republican governors have promised to opt out of the Affordable Care Act; the new Conservative coalition government in Greece is moving forward with harsh, new spending cuts; and more.
Five Ways Republicans Have Sabotaged Job Growth
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10194-five-ways-republicans-have-sabotaged-job-growth
Jeff Spross, ThinkProgress: "Republican intransigence on economic policy has been a key contributor to the sluggish recovery. As early as 2009, Republican fear-mongering over spending and their readiness to filibuster in the Senate helped convince the White House economic team that an $800 billion stimulus was the most they could hope to get through Congress. Reporting has since revealed that the team thought the country actually needed a stimulus on the order of $1.2 to $1.8 trillion. The economy's path over the next three years proved them right."
The Fracking Industry's Dirty Secrets
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10184-the-fracking-industrys-dirty-secrets
Mike Papantonio, Ring of Fire: "The fracking industry is one of the most secretive and deceptive industries in the country. They've managed to operate with little to no oversight from the federal government, and they've kept their secret fracking formulas from being revealed to the public, even though the chemicals they're using are leaching into groundwater supplies and poisoning men, women, and children. Mike Papantonio talks about how the fracking industry is accomplishing all of this with Mike Ludwig, a reporter for Truthout.org."
Robert Scheer | Crime of the Century
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10187-robert-scheer-crime-of-the-century
Robert Scheer, Truthdig: "Forget Bernie Madoff and Enron's Ken Lay - they were mere amateurs in financial crime. The current Libor interest rate scandal, involving hundreds of trillions in international derivatives trade, shows how the really big boys play. And these guys will most likely not do the time because their kind rewrites the law before committing the crime. Modern international bankers form a class of thieves the likes of which the world has never before seen. Or, indeed, imagined."
Economy Adds 80,000 Jobs in June; Unemployment Steady at 8.2 Percent
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10189-economy-adds-80000-jobs-in-june-unemployment-steady-at-82-percent
Dean Baker, Center for Economic Policy and Research: "The economy added just 80,000 jobs in June, bringing the average over the last four months to 92,000. This compares to a monthly rate of 252,000 for the three months from November to February. Part of the weakness in the June job growth is likely still attributable to better-than-trend job growth in the winter. This pulled hiring forward so that normal seasonal hiring did not take place. This pattern can be seen very clearly in several important sectors."
Con Ed Locks Out 8,500 Workers as Summer Heat Wave Hits
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10175-con-ed-locks-out-8500-workers-as-summer-heat-wave-hits
Mike Elk, In These Times: "On Sunday, after the 8,500 members of Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) Local 1-2 in New York City refused to agree to concessions, Con Ed responded by locking them out of work, creating one of the largest lockouts in recent memory. But it will be a real test for Con Ed to see just how long they are able to keep their workers locked out as a massive heat wave hits the city and its power system threatens to buckle."
The Jury Is Still Out on Chief Justice Roberts
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10164-the-jury-is-still-out-on-chief-justice-roberts
Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III, Truthout: "Most will tell you that Chief Justice Roberts is a brilliant man. He is playing three-dimensional chess while most others are playing checkers. With this Affordable Care Act (ACA) decision, Roberts may have engaged in a level of prestidigitation that even Houdini would envy. By giving the Obama administration its legal victory with his left hand (pardon the pun); he taps his magic wand (or pen) with his right hand and limits the power of the national government to regulate state action going forward."
Minor Reform of Health Care Hailed as Major Triumph
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10177-minor-reform-of-health-care-hailed-as-major-triumph
Eli Lichtenstein, Truthout: "The Supreme Court's health care ruling is merely the latest turn in the sad spectacle of American health care reform.... Upon its announcement, liberal celebratory outcry ensued and a storm of media commentary was unleashed. The irony - and the spectacle - lies in the utter insignificance of the reform. Designed to decrease health care costs and to insure the 50 million uninsured Americans, the ACA does neither."
Poor Land in Jail as Companies Add Huge Fees for Probation
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10185-poor-land-in-jail-as-companies-add-huge-fees-for-probation
Ethan Bronner, The New York Times News Service: "'With so many towns economically strapped, there is growing pressure on the courts to bring in money rather than mete out justice,' said Lisa W. Borden, a partner in Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, who has spent a great deal of time on the issue. 'Those arrested are not told about the right to counsel or asked whether they are indigent or offered an alternative to fines and jail. There are real constitutional issues at stake.'"
As Japan Says Fukushima Disaster "Man-Made" and "Preventable," Fears Grow for Nuclear Plants Worldwide
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10192-as-japan-says-fukushima-disaster-man-made-and-preventable-fears-grow-for-nuclear-plants-worldwide
Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now!: "A Japanese parliamentary inquiry has concluded last year's nuclear meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was 'a profoundly man-made disaster - that could and should have been foreseen and prevented.' We speak to former nuclear industry executive Arnie Gundersen about the report and what it means for U.S. nuclear facilities, in particular the 23 with a similar design to the Fukushima plant."
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Young People Who Don't Want to Buy Health Care Insurance: You Are on Your Own if You Get Cancer. Don't Expect Me to Pay
http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/13588
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "So, what we have is a lot of bravado among greedy people, including the up and coming 'it's all about me' generation. When it comes to asking us to cover their medical care if they really need it, they are just fine with that. But when it comes to paying an economic fair share for insurance to cover such care, they plead 'freedom to choose.' I hate to be this way; but if you want to gamble with your health, it's on your dollar, not mine. Not buying health insurance under the Affordable Healthcare Act is your gamble with mortality, but that's your choice, even if you are just 27."
