Chris Hedges | Turning a Blind Eye to Catastrophic Truths
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10223-turning-a-blind-eye
Chris Hedges, Truthdig: "Cultures that endure carve out a protected space f=
or those who question and challenge national myths. Artists, writers, poets=
, activists, journalists, philosophers, dancers, musicians, actors, directo=
rs and renegades must be tolerated if a culture is to be pulled back from d=
isaster. Members of this ... class, who are usually not welcome in the stul=
tifying halls of academia where mediocrity is triumphant, serve as prophets=
. They are dismissed ... because they do not embrace collective self-worshi=
p."
Bill Moyers | The Cowardly Lions of Free Speech
http://truth-out.org/video/item/10236-bill-moyers-the-cowardly-lions-of-fre=
e-speech
Bill Moyers, Moyers & Company: "In all the hullabaloo over the Supreme Cour=
t's decision on health care, another of its rulings quickly fell off the pu=
blic radar. Before deciding the fate of the Affordable Care Act, the Court =
announced it would not reconsider Citizens United. That's the odious 5-4 de=
cision two years ago that opened our elections to unlimited contributions. =
Within minutes of that announcement, right-wing partisans were crowing abou=
t the advantage they now own."
Oakland Takes On Goldman Sachs

David Zlutnick, Truthout: "The City of Oakland is currently debating the po=
ssibility of terminating a contract it has with the investment bank Goldman=
Sachs. The deal =E2=80=A6 was supposed to save the city money, but instead=
has resulted in Oakland taxpayers making annual payments of around $4 mill=

The Dirt on Erskine Bowles: The Tame Half of Bowles-Simpson
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10219-the-dirt-on-erskine-bowles-the-tame-ha=

Dean Baker, Truthout: "Alan Simpson, the foul-mouthed former senator, has a=
pparently been sent to the sidelines. It seems that his inability to restra=
in his contempt for those ... dependent on Social Security and Medicare mak=
es him an undesirable spokesperson for the drive to cut back these programs=

Syrian Opposition Spokesperson: Any Transition Deal Should Entail Assad's P=

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: "United Nations and Arab League envoy Kofi Ann=
an met today with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the midst of worsenin=
g violence. Syria's 16-month conflict has so far claimed more than 15,000 l=
ives. Annan said today's last-ditch attempt to salvage a peace effort ended=

Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "We trust that the banking system is set=

A Primer on the Colonialism of Israel's Settlers
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10193-five-dunams-confiscated-in-al-khader-a=
-primer-on-settler-colonialism
Jimmy Johnson, Truthout: "The Alternative Information Center on 12 June pub=
lished a seventy-word notice that five dunams of land belonging to Rana Tal=
bieh were being confiscated in al-Khader, a village west of Bethlehem. It w=
as something of a banal announcement expressing some expected difficulties =
for a few nearby farmers, but it is exemplary of the fundamental process be=
neath what is often misnomered the Israeli-Palestinian 'conflict.' We can i=
dentify this process by distinguishing between two of the many ways that pe=

After Five Years: Report Card on Crisis Capitalism
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10190-after-five-years-report-card-on-crisis=
-capitalism
Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: "After five years of crisis ... it's time to ev=
aluate what happened, why and what needs to be done. One key cause of this =
crisis is the class structure of capitalist enterprises.... By class struct=
ure, I mean enterprises' internal organization pitting workers against corp=
orate boards of directors and major shareholders. Those boards seek first t=
o maximize corporate profits and growth. That means maximizing the differen=
ce between the value they get from workers' labor and the value of the wage=

Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: "President Obama is planning to call on Congre=
ss today to extend the Bush tax cuts for another year, but only for those m=
aking less than $250,000. The Bush tax cut package is scheduled to expire a=
t the end of the year, and of course, Republicans have said that they are o=

Appreciating Undocumented Americans
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10228-appreciating-undocumented-americans
George Lakoff and Elizabeth Wehling, Truthout: "Obama repeatedly uses the p=
hrase illegal immigrants. It evokes a conceptual frame in which undocumente=
d Americans are understood first and foremost as criminals. The president e=
vokes this frame in his Florida speech, stating that current immigration po=
licy 'denies innocent young people the chance to earn an education or serve=
in the uniform of the country they love.' Being innocent is the opposite o=
f being guilty. The word cannot be understood outside of the Criminal Frame=
