Mitt Romney's "Hostile Takeover" of Massachusetts Environmental Protections
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10350-mitt-romneys-hostile-takeover-of-massachusetts-environmental-protections
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "Forget tailgating, Mitt Romney went all out when the New England Patriots went to the Super Bowl in 2005. Romney, then governor of Massachusetts, diverted $45,000 from the state's Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to hold a send-off rally for the football team at Foxboro's Gillette Stadium that prominently featured the former governor himself. The 2,500 people who attended the rally failed to fill the stadium, but they did cost taxpayers about $18 a head."
Inside the Investigation of Leading Republican Money Man Sheldon Adelson
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10374-inside-the-investigation-of-leading-republican-money-man-sheldon-adelson
Matt Isaacs, Lowell Bergman and Stephen Engelberg, ProPublica: "A decade ago gambling magnate and leading Republican donor Sheldon Adelson looked at a desolate spit of land in Macau and imagined a glittering strip of casinos, hotels and malls. Where competitors saw obstacles, including Macau's hostility to outsiders and historic links to Chinese organized crime, Adelson envisaged a chance to make billions."
After National Gathering, Is There Room for Insurrectionary Anarchism in Occupy?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10358-occupy-national-gathering-electrical-storms-and-insurrectionary-corpses
Natasha Lennard, Truthout: "On a scorching afternoon recently in Philadelphia's Franklin Square, where Occupy's National Gathering participants had set up a daytime base, small circles of people - from gray-haired peace activists and Code Pink members clutching candy-colored parasols, to crust punks rolling cigarettes in the shade and many more - relaxed in advance of a final evening march."
Will Your State Refuse to Provide Medicaid Coverage to Needy Adults?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10318-will-your-state-refuse-to-provide-medicaid-coverage-to-needy-adults
Christopher Francis Petrella, Truthout: "Now that Medicaid expansion is non-compulsory, however, there has been great speculation as to how many currently uninsured individuals will ultimately gain coverage under the law. At the time of this writing, only 13 states plus Washington, DC, have agreed - some formally, some informally - to participate in a program for which the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates the federal government will bear 93 percent of the tab over the first nine years of implementation. In total, 37 states have either opted out of the program or are currently undecided."
Economic Rapture Might Be Around the Corner
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10373-economic-rapture-might-be-around-the-corner
Salvatore Babones, Other Words: "Forget the recession and the Bush-Obama stimulus packages. Those are history. The recession ended three years ago - at least in terms of economic growth. So why aren't the deficits disappearing? The problem is that taxes are just too low. Most Americans will shudder to hear those words, but it's the truth. Taxmageddon? Bring it on. If Congress does what Congress does best and takes no action by New Year's Eve, both the Bush and Obama tax cuts will expire. On January 1, 2013."
Bill Moyers and Michael Winship | Presto! The DISCLOSE Act Disappears
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10390-presto-the-disclose-act-disappears
Bill Moyers and Michael Winship, Moyers & Company: "The DISCLOSE Act is meant to pull back the curtain and reveal who's donating $10,000 or more not only to super PACs but also to trade groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and these so-called 'social welfare' non-profits that can spend limitless cash on campaigns as long as it's less than half the organization's total budget."
Rodney King Is Dead, but Little Else Has Changed Since the Riots That Bore His Name
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10303-the-hidden-history-of-the-rodney-king-riots
Arun Gupta, Truthout: "The LA uprising burned through the fog to reveal police brutality as the handmaiden of inner city misery. Contrary to pontificating that King's beating ushered in more professional policing, not much has changed. Policing the poor is about keeping the profitable machinery of deprivation and cruelty running smoothly."
The Story of Change
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10380-the-story-of-change
Annie Leonard, The Story of Stuff Project: "Ever since I learned where our stuff really comes from - and how this system is trashing people and the planet - I've been trying to figure out how we can change it. I've read a lot of these: 100 Ways to Save the Planet Without Leaving Your House, 50 SimpleThings You Can do to Save the Earth, The Little Green Book of Shopping. I thought they might have the answers, but their tips all start here - with buying better stuff - and they all end here - with recycling all that stuff when I'm done with it. But when it comes to making change, this story of 'going green' - even though we see it everywhere - has some serious shortcomings."
Wisconsin Organizations Push for Election Transparency
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10387-wisconsin-organizations-push-for-election-transparency
Sara Jerving, PR Watch: "A coalition of Wisconsin organizations, including the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD), have asked state legislators to hold hearings on the need for greater transparency and accountability for political spending in Wisconsin. This call comes in the aftermath of a series of recall elections that saw over $100 million poured into the state, much of it from special interest groups that did not disclose their donors."
Four Spending Myths That Could Wreck Our World: How Not to Solve an American Crisis
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10378-four-spending-myths-that-could-wreck-our-world-how-not-to-solve-an-american-crisis
Mattea Kramer, TomDispatch: "We're at the edge of the cliff of deficit disaster! National security spending is being, or will soon be, slashed to the bone! Obamacare will sink the ship of state! Each of these claims has grabbed national attention in a big way, sucking up years' worth of precious airtime. That's a serious bummer, since each of them is a spending myth of the first order. Let's pop them, one by one, and move on to the truly urgent business of a nation that is indeed on the edge."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Japanese Protesters Take to the Streets Against Nuclear Reactors, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10397-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-japanese-protesters-take-to-the-streets-against-nuclear-reactors-and-more
In today's On the News segment: On Monday, Republicans in the Senate joined together to filibuster and kill the latest attempt by Democrats to inject transparency in our elections; also on Monday, the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Appeals denied a stay of execution request for Warren Lee Hill; serious doubts are being raised about the safety of offshore drilling in the Arctic Ocean; more than 100,000 protesters took to the streets against recent decisions to restart Japan's nuclear reactors; and more.
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Mr. Romney, if You're Listed as the Owner of a Car, You Are Responsible for It. So What's the Difference With Bain?
http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/13609
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "Am I missing something here, such as common sense? Here is Mitt Romney, who is listed as CEO, president and sole stock owner of Bain Capital with the chief regulatory agency (Security and Exchange Commission (SEC)) responsible for financial firms, but he claims that he had nothing to do with the company (except to continue to accept a $100,000 salary as CEO and millions of dollars in profits) from 1999-2002. O.K. I have a cousin visiting over the summer, let's say. I lend the cousin my car, which is insured to me since I own it. My cousin runs a red light and hits another vehicle. Who is responsible for the damage? Me, of course, because I own the car and pay for the insurance coverage."
