The 1% Connection: Mexico and the United States, Crony Capitalism and the Exploitation of Labor Through NAFTA
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10309-the-1-connection-mexico-and-the-united-states-crony-capitalism-and-the-exploitation-of-labor-through-nafta
Mark Karlin, Truthout: "Free trade, such as NAFTA, is a way of exploiting labor without national boundaries and ravaging the environment in pursuit of higher corporate profits. Borders only exist for poor migrants seeking money to keep themselves and their families alive. The victims of this trade policy - and its synergistic companion, crony capitalism - eke out an existence on both sides of the Mexican-United States border.... There is no border wall for economic injustice."
In Vast Effort, FDA Spied on E-Mails of Its Own Scientists
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10342-in-vast-effort-fda-spied-on-e-mails-of-its-own-scientists
Eric Lichtblau and Scott Shane, The New York Times News Service: "A wide-ranging surveillance operation by the Food and Drug Administration against a group of its own scientists used an enemies list of sorts as it secretly captured thousands of e-mails that the disgruntled scientists sent privately to members of Congress, lawyers, labor officials, journalists and even President Obama, previously undisclosed records show. What began as a narrow investigation into the possible leaking of confidential agency information by five scientists quickly grew in mid-2010 into a much broader campaign to counter outside critics."
As Occupy Wall Street Anniversary Approaches, Debt Emerges as Widespread Occupy Grievance
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10335-as-occupy-wall-street-anniversary-approaches-debt-emerges-as-widespread-occupy-grievance
Yates McKee, Waging Nonviolence: "Some of the most prominent initiatives of OWS and the Occupy movement more broadly have revolved around the foreclosure crisis, and the Occupy Student Debt Campaign (OSDC) succeeded in drawing national attention to the student debt crisis.... When one looks back to early OWS platforms, such as the 99 percent Tumblr, one finds that indebtedness of all sorts was already a self-conscious motivation for many participants and sympathizers of the movement."
The Voting Dilemma
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10334-the-voting-dilemna
Lawrence Davidson, To the Point Analyses: "There is yet another group of eligible voters whose actions in November are in doubt. These are people who are regular voters, but are now so put off by their usual party candidate that they find it difficult to support him. They may either not vote at all or cast a vote for a minor third party.... This year an unknown number of progressive Democrats might feel they are facing a similar dilemma."
California County Weighs Drastic Plan to Aid Homeowners
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10337-california-county-weighs-drastic-plan-to-aid-homeowners
Jennifer Medina, The New York Times News Service: "Desperate for a way out of a housing collapse that has crippled the region, officials in San Bernardino County, where Fontana is one of the largest cities, are exploring a drastic option - using eminent domain to buy up mortgages for homes that are underwater. Then, the idea goes, the county could cut the mortgages to the current value of the homes and resell the mortgages to a private investment firm, which would allow homeowners to lower their monthly payments and hang onto their property."
Breaking Open the Digital Commons to Fight Corporate Capitalism
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10264-global-information-systems-education-and-new-media-networks
Michael A Peters, Truthout: "In a time of crisis that follows the financialization of the world economy, its deregulation, new levels of corporate fraud and financial criminalization at the core of the system, one of the most constructive responses is the openness movement that seeks to encourage governments and the private sector to invest in public digital infrastructures to protect knowledge diversity and promote universal access to knowledge and education."
Is Haiti's Reconstruction Path Paved in Gold?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10339-is-haitis-reconstruction-path-paved-in-gold?
Staff, The Real News Network: More than two years since an earthquake shook Haiti to its core, and as reconstruction continues, US and Canadian mining companies make a fortune off recently discovered gold. But do the Haitian people benefit?
Obama Piles New Sanctions Against Iran
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10336-obama-piles-new-sanctions-against-iran
Jim Lobe, Inter Press Service: "In the latest ratcheting up of pressure on Iran, the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama Thursday imposed new financial sanctions against Iranian and other companies whose operations allegedly support the country's nuclear and ballistic-missile programs. The Treasury Department said it was blacklisting 11 companies and several individuals associated with Iran's defense ministry, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as well as Iran's national shipping line."
Women's Inequality Linked to Soaring Population
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10341-womens-inequality-linked-to-soaring-population
Zoha Arshad, Inter Press Service: "In his new book, 'State of the World 2012: Moving Toward Sustainable Prosperity,' Robert Engelman argues that by cutting off women from education and the public sphere, the world will not only have a burgeoning population on its hands, but one that doesn't have the resources to feed, clothe and educate the coming generations."
Raj Patel: Food Rebellions and Political Accountability
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10338-raj-patel-food-rebellions-and-political-accountability
David Zlutnick, Upheaval Productions: "I think that the way to understand why famine happens is to think about hunger right here in the United States, because we have 48 million people who are food insecure. One in seven Americans are on what used to be called Food Stamps, the SNAP [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program] entitlements. And hunger happens in America, but no one in America would say, 'The reason people are starving is because there's a shortage of food.'"
