Barack Obama, Changeling
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10319-barack-obama-changeling
Jeffrey St. Clair and Joshua Frank, AK Press: "Obama's most grievous politi=
cal wounds were self-inflicted, starting even before his election when he r=
ushed back to Washington to help rescue Bush's Wall Street bailout. This wa=
s perhaps the first real indication that the luminous campaign speeches abo=
ut generational and systemic change masked the servile psyche of a man who =
was desperately yearning to be embraced by the nation's political and finan=
cial elites. Instead of meeting with the victims of Wall Street predators o=
r their advocates =E2=80=A6 Obama schmoozed with the cr=C3=A8me de la cr=C3=
=A8me of K Street corporate lobbyists."

Margaret Flowers, Truthout: "This is the first time that any US city counci=
l has voted against the practice of torture on all three levels. Much of th=
e impetus to pass the resolution resulted from the accumulated outrage that=
many in Chicago felt regarding the Chicago police's torture of black men. =
From the 1970s to the end of the 1980s, officers under the command of Jon B=
urge tortured 110 black men in a police station on the south side of Chicag=
o in Area 2."

John Perkins, Yes! Magazine: "Last month, hundreds of indigenous demonstrat=

m-mechanics
Michael Ortiz, Truthout: "As if world hunger, poverty, class inequality, si=
ckness and disease, permanent war and ecological ruination weren't enough t=
o present a critical case against capitalism, then consider the following. =
In relative terms to the rest of the entire universe, quantum mechanics sho=

Dark Money Political Groups Target Voters Based on Their Internet Habits
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10577-dark-money-political-groups-target-vot=
ers-based-on-their-internet-habits
Lois Beckett, ProPublica: "Dark money groups are also quietly expanding the=
ir online advertising efforts, using sophisticated targeting tactics to sen=
d their ads to specific kinds of people. Who they're targeting, and what da=
ta they're using, is secret. Online advertising companies have amassed vast=
quantities of information on what individual people read, watch, and do on=
the Internet. They collect this data using small files called cookies, whi=
ch allows them to track Internet users as they move from site to site."

ases,' according to an agenda obtained by the Center for Media and Democrac=
y."
The Real Problem Isn't Regulation
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10579-the-real-problem-isnt-regulation
James Kwak, Baseline Scenario: "What we really need is a financial services=
market where reputations matter and firms have an incentive to maintain th=
em. That's clearly not the world we live in today: Goldman gets a reputatio=
n for screwing its customers, but they don't lose any business because thos=
e customers (a) figure it's just a cost of doing business and (b) don't hav=
e any meaningfully different choices."

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: .8em;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Lois Beckett, ProPublica: </strong>"Dark money groups are also quietly expanding their online advertising efforts, using sophisticated targeting tactics to send their ads to specific kinds of people. Who they're targeting, and what data they're using, is secret. Online advertising companies have amassed vast quantities of information on what individual people read, watch, and do on the Internet. They collect this data using small files called cookies, which allows them to track Internet users as they move from site to site."</p>
