Obama's and Romney's Opposing Views on What the American Public Provides
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10613-the-public-obamas-and-romneys-opposed-visions-for-a-free-america
George Lakoff and Elisabeth Wehling, Truthout: "America is divided about its future. Should it keep and expand the system that brought past opportunity, prosperity and freedom? Or should it dismantle that system? President Obama recently reminded us that private life, private enterprise and personal freedom depend on what the public provides."
DHS on Rolling Stone Reporter Michael Hastings' OWS Report: "He Can Be Provocative"; "Help Him Understand Our Mission"
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10634-dhs-on-rolling-stone-reporter-michael-hastingss-ows-report-he-can-be-provocative-help-him-understand-our-mission
Jason Leopold, Truthout: "Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials sought to have award-winning Rolling Stone contributor Michael Hastings pull down a report he published on the magazine's web site in February about the agency's role in monitoring the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, claiming it was riddled with 'inaccuracies,' according to new internal DHS documents related to OWS Truthout obtained under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request."
America's Green Summer: From Vermont to Appalachia to Texas, Citizens Say No to Dirty Power
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10621-americas-green-summer-from-vermont-to-appalachia-to-texas-citizens-say-no-to-dirty-power
Michael Levitin, Truthout: "The 500-person turnout and smartly choreographed 'human oil spill' made Vermont the latest staging ground in what is quickly developing as a green summer of activism and resistance across America. Also over the weekend, thousands marched in Washington, DC, to oppose the toxic impacts of franking."
Less Wall, More Street: Building Solidarity to Fight Repression From Coast to Coast
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10612-less-wall-more-street-building-solidarity-to-fight-repression-from-coast-to-coast
Joe Macare, Occupied Chicago Tribune: "The role of the police and other law enforcement has loomed large in the Occupy movement ever since, if not before, NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna was caught on video pepper-spraying two already-detained, non-resisting women."
Mission Failure Afghanistan: A Message Written in Blood That No One Wants to Hear
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10618-mission-failure-afghanistan-a-message-written-in-blood-that-no-one-wants-to-hear
Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: "If the Aurora shootings got all the attention here last week, far more Americans are dying at the hands of Afghan allies than died in James Holmes's hail of gunfire. And yet the message from the more deadly of those rampages is barely in the news and few here are paying attention."
The War on Workers' Religious Liberty
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10628-the-war-on-workers-religious-liberty
Amanda Marcotte, RH Reality Check: "The war on women advanced dramatically on Friday, when a judge in Colorado issued a preliminary injunction on behalf of an air conditioning and heating business owner who doesn't want his employees to use contraception."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Democratic Party Supports Marriage Equality, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10633-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann
In today's On the News segment: President Obama will likely become the first-ever incumbent president to be outraised by his opponent in his re-election bid; on Monday, the Democratic Party Platform Drafting Committee officially added marriage equality to the Democratic platform; report shows businesses with women on their boards outperform businesses with only men on their boards; anti-nuclear protests in Japan are growing; and more.
Ties to Hezbollah Remain Murky in "Terror Plots" Targeting Israel
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10616-which-terror-plots-are-relevant-to-burgas
Gareth Porter, AntiWar.com: "Even if the US national security state does not wish to acknowledge that the Burgas bombing fits the profile of an al-Qaeda terrorist operation rather than Hezbollah, there is no excuse for the US news media failure to report that inconvenient truth."
Meet Cannibalistic Capitalism: Globalization's Evil Twin
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10572-meet-catabolic-capitalism-globalizations-evil-twin
Craig Collins PhD, Truthout: "Both the optimistic reformers and the radical anti-globalization activists misunderstand the true nature of capitalism and underestimate its ability to withstand - and profit handsomely from - the great contraction ahead. Growth is not the primary driving force behind capitalism - profit is."
US Intervention Continues to Undermine Egyptian Revolution
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10573-us-intervention-continues-to-undermine-egyptian-revolution
Suzanne Adely, Corinna Mullin and Azadeh Shahshahani, Truthout: "As world leaders meet in New York this month to negotiate a first-ever international arms trade treaty, many human rights activists are focusing on the deteriorating situation in Syria and continued arms sales by Russia to the brutal Assad regime as examples of why this treaty so urgently needs to be passed."
TRUTHOUT'S BUZZFLASH DAILY HEADLINES
Warning: Dick Cheney Can Constitutionally Be Vice President, Again
http://blog.buzzflash.com/node/13638
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "O.K., O.K., it is highly unlikely to occur - particularly given that Cheney and his former finger puppet, Geoge W. Bush, are not going to the GOP convention this year, likely because the Romney people told them that they are not welcome. But then again, it is worth noting that legally there is nothing in the Constitution, or in the 22nd Amendment (which limits presidential terms to two), that would keep a vice president from serving multiple terms. In fact, two vice presidents have even served in different administrations: John C. Calhoun and George Clinton."
