t r u t h o u t | In a system where campaign professionals themselves estimate that 80 percent of campaign spending is wasted, where fewer than one in five citizens approves of the job Congress is doing and where the noxious stench of campaign money can be smelled from overseas, we need to invest time and money in breaking this relationship between money and politics.

We Live in the Biggest Company Town on Earth
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10345-the-battle-of-blair-mountain
Chris Hedges, Truthdig: "The miners in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky ... wanted to be freed from the debt peonage of the company stores, to be paid fairly for their work, to have better safety in the mines, to fight back against the judges, politicians, journalists and civil authorities who had sold out to Big Coal, and to have a union. They grasped that unchallenged and unregulated corporate power was a form of enslavement."
As the West Burns: Speaking Truth to Fire
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10294-as-the-west-burns-speaking-truth-to-fire
Dr. Brian Moench, Truthout: "During the first week of July, referring to current raging wildfires, Princeton climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer said, 'What we're seeing is a window into what global warming really looks like. It looks like heat; it looks like fires; it looks like this kind of environmental disaster.' Up close, it looked scary as hell. Most Utah residents will probably be inhaling wildfire smoke until the fall, and not just this summer, but most summers from now on."
The Toothless Accountability Systems Behind the Penn State Scandal
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10362-the-underfunded-accountability-systems-behind-the-penn-state-scandal
Ellen Dannin, Employment Policy Research Network: "It is hard to believe, but Penn State had no General Counsel's office until 2010.... Not only is the office understaffed, it is unclear how many of the staff have experience working in the general counsel's office of a major university. Also understaffed was responsibility for compliance with the ... Clery Act. Failure to comply with this law's mandate to report information about crime on campuses and in surrounding communities can lead to large fines and suspension from participation in the federal financial aid program."
Kick the Habit: Fund Our Communities, Not War
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10240-kick-the-habit-fund-our-communities-not-war
Joseph Gerson, Truthout: "Nationally, Lockheed-Martin and other weapons manufacturers have threatened to put an election year political gun to Congress' head. They've announced that they will have to send layoff notices to all of their employees unless Congress reneges on the Budget Control Act of 2011, which would cut roughly 12 percent of the Pentagon's gargantuan budget over the next decade. They haven't expressed similar concern over the act's $600 billion to be slashed from essential and already underfunded social services."
Gar Alperovitz's Green Party Keynote: We Are Laying the Groundwork for the "Next Great Revolution"
http://truth-out.org/video/item/10360-gar-alperovitzs-green-party-keynote-we-are-laying-groundwork-for-the-next-great-revolution
Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: "At the Green Party's 2012 National Convention in Baltimore over the weekend, Massachusetts physician Jill Stein and anti-poverty campaigner Cheri Honkala were nominated the party's presidential and vice-presidential contenders. We air the convention's keynote address delivered by Gar Alperovitz, a professor of political economy at the University of Maryland and co-founder of the Democracy Collaborative. In his remarks, Alperovitz stressed the importance of third-party politics to challenge a corporate-run society."
Scandal-Plagued Congressman to Give Ethics Lecture to Crowd of Lobbyists
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10348-scandal-plagued-congressman-jerry-lewis-to-give-lecture-on-ethical-lobbying-to-audience-of-lobbyists
Lee Fang, Republic Report: "Congressman Jerry Lewis (R-CA) has faced years upon years of scandal: FBI investigations over corrupt land deals, ties to the Duke Cunningham bribery scandal, pay-to-play earmarks, and even a small controversy over his attempt to solicit lobbyists to finance his official portrait. Later this month, American League of Lobbyists is hosting an event on 'Effective and Ethical Lobbying.' The lecture is led by none other than Jerry Lewis and his colleague Congressman Norm Dicks (D-WA)."
Dean Baker | California Gold Rush? Righting Underwater Mortgages
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10352-california-gold-rush-righting-underwater-mortgages
Dean Baker, Truthout: "[S]ince Congress did not take any action to shore up the position of homeowners, we are still sitting here with more than 11 million homeowners underwater, five years after house prices began their plunge. This failure at the national level provides the backdrop for a plan by a group of investors, Mortgage Resolution Partners ... to arrange to use the government's power of eminent domain to condemn underwater mortgages."
The Arizona SB1070 Decision: Immigration, Racism and the Supreme Court
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10349-immigration-racism-and-the-supreme-court
Marjorie Cohn, SALTLAW blog: "In a victory for those who support a humane immigration policy, the Court overturned three sections of SB 1070: Arizona cannot criminalize unlawful presence in the United States, or working without papers; and the decision to arrest someone for unlawful presence in the U.S. is solely a federal issue. The Court made clear that the enforcement of immigration law is reserved to the federal government. But unfortunately, the Court unanimously upheld the most controversial provision of SB 1070, at least for the time being."
Why the Reproductive Rights Movement Must Abandon the Term "Abortion"
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10346-the-sacredness-of-life-and-liberty
George Lakoff and Elizabeth Wehling, Truthout: "The issue really has been control - who controls reproduction, men or women? ... The abortion issue is really about male control in family life - and in society in general.... To establish that control, both conservative Republicans and the Catholic Church propose taking a metaphor literally, that A Fertilized Egg Is A Person. Taking the metaphor literally allows for the claim that preventing abortions constitutes saving lives."
Will the Obama Administration Prosecute the Big Banks for LIBOR Manipulation?
http://truth-out.org/video/item/10359-will-obama-admininistration-prosecute-the-big-banks-for-libor-manipulation
Paul Jay, The Real News Network: "[I]s this a criminal conspiracy? Well, let's take the word criminal first. There's no dispute this is a criminal problem. How do we know that? Because the United States Department of Justice entered into an agreement with Barclays and agreed that Barclays would not be prosecuted for criminal conduct if Barclays would pay $160 million to the United States and agree to a set of facts which clearly lays out criminal conduct."
Howard Zinn | To Disagree Is to Be Put on the Enemies List
http://truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/10302-to-disagree-is-to-be-put-on-the-enemies-list
Howard Zinn, City Lights Publishers: "Those of us who are involved in the intense, sometimes bizarre battles at Boston University have not had much time to step back and look for some grand national design into which we might fit. Furthermore, it seems immodest; we have not yet become accustomed to the fact that our campus, with its nondescript assortment of buildings straddling Commonwealth Avenue in the heart of the city, with its heterogeneous enrollment of 20,000 students, has begun to attract the attention of the country."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: In Wake of LIBOR Scandal, Department of Justice Is Preparing Criminal Cases Against Several Wall Street Banks, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10368-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-in-wake-of-libor-scandal-department-of-justice-is-preparing-criminal-cases-against-several-wall-street-banks-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Unrest is rife in Spain as its government tries to ram through the biggest austerity package in the nation's history, a Republican amendment to the House farm bill threatens states' power to regulate food safety, dozens of Republican candidates around the country are refusing to sign the anti-tax Norquist pledge, and more.
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Ripping Off the Public of Billions of Dollars Should Land You in Jail, Not the Forbes Wealthiest Persons List
http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/13604
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "This is not just proof that we have two systems of justice: one for the 99% of Americans and none for the 1%, in terms of financial law breaking. It is also a ruinous model that pervades the business climate and financial structure of our entire society. Ripping off the public to the tune of billions and trillions of dollars does not make you an irreplaceable master of the universe; it makes you someone who should be in jail."
