Dina Rasor, Truthout: "Lockheed and other companies continue to make threat=

ps right before the election according to the law - a charge that has been =

The True Costs of Mass Incarceration
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10426-the-true-costs-of-mass-incarceration
Theresa Riley, Moyers & Company: "One of the Supreme Court rulings you may =
have missed in the din of its Affordable Care Act decision considered the c=
onstitutionality of mandatory sentencing to life in prison without parole f=
or minors. Justice Elena Kagan, writing for the majority, determined that '=

Occupy National Gathering: Perspectives on Police
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10436-occupy-national-gathering-perspectives=
-on-police
Zachary Bell, Zacharyabell.com: "In the era of Occupy-evicted, the movement=
has emphasized national reunions to stay connected, such as the anti-NATO =
protests in Chicago, for which Occupiers were bused in from around the coun=
try. This nationalization process culminated in the Occupy National Gatheri=
ng, June 30-July 4 in Philadelphia. Three Occupy Caravans traveled across t=
he country in the three weeks leading up to 'NatGat,' bearing activists fro=
m San Diego, Tucson, Wichita, Atlanta, Boston, and many other cities. Rough=
ly 1,000 Occupiers attended the gathering's marches, workshops (with speake=
rs like Chris Hedges and organizer Lisa Fithian), and theatrical protest (l=
ike a 99 Percent versus Tax Dodgers baseball game). The event concluded wit=

k-at-regional-government-public-ownership-and-partially-planned-markets
Gar Alperovitz, Democracy Collaborative Press: "The various institutions, f=
rom co-ops to land trusts, and including municipal enterprise and state inv=
esting, all also challenge dominant ideologies which hold that private corp=
orate enterprise offers the only possible way forward; and they help open n=
ew ways of conceptualizing practical approaches to meaningful larger scale =
democratization. Ultimately the steady illumination of this principle has i=
mportant political implications both locally and nationally. New wealth-bui=
lding forms may also contribute directly to building progressive political =
power."

Brendan Fischer, PR Watch: "A Wisconsin judge has found that the state's Am=

more than 300,000 Wisconsin voters who do not now have an acceptable form =

Robert Greenwald and John Amick, Brave New Foundation: "The US House of Rep=

Eric Harris, The Public Record: "In the first of three days of military com=

efendant, accused terrorist Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri's motions. Al-Nashiri, =
waterboarded while detained at a CIA black site prison and, according to an=
investigation conducted by the CIA's inspector general, interrogated at th=

of the U.S.S. Cole in 2000 and faces a possible death sentence at trial."

Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: "The official figure for documents classified =
by the U.S. government last year is - hold your hats on this one - 92,064,8=

Ann Romney Goes Full Marie Antoinette on America
http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/13615
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "Being even associated with the word fe=
lony sent the Romneys into high dudgeon, since they consider that they have=
double impunity: they are Mormons chosen by God and also endowed with the =
divine anointment of being extravagantly wealthy. This arrogance and sense =
of entitlement was on full display when Ann Romney, in an ABC morning show =
interview, went into full Marie Antoinette mode."

<font><strong>Ann Romney Goes Full Marie Antoinette on America</strong></fo=
nt><br />
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "Being even associated with the word fe=
lony sent the Romneys into high dudgeon, since they consider that they have=
double impunity: they are Mormons chosen by God and also endowed with the =
divine anointment of being extravagantly wealthy. This arrogance and sense =
of entitlement was on full display when Ann Romney, in an ABC morning show =
interview, went into full Marie Antoinette mode."
