http://truth-out.org/news/item/10676-how-the-war-on-drugs-in-latin-america-benefits-transnational-corporations-and-undermines-democracy
Mark Karlin, Truthout: "Are US taxpayers funding a losing war on drugs ... as a means of expanding military influence and increasing political dominance over as many governments south of the border as possible - with the deliverable result of creating increased business opportunities for global companies based in the US?"
Super Rich Holding $21 Trillion Overseas to Avoid Taxation
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10710-super-rich-holding-21-trillion-overseas-to-avoid-taxation
Alex Oberley, PRWatch: "At least $21 trillion in unreported private financial wealth was recently discovered sitting in secret tax havens.... The study is one of the first attempting to measure the hidden wealth. It could be as high as $32 trillion - a staggering sum."
The Top Five Most Hypocritical Corporate Sponsors
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10702-the-top-five-most-hypocritical-corporate-sponsors
Alyssa Figueroa, AlterNet: "Many non-profits and other charities rely on corporate sponsorships to keep them afloat - and some of those partnerships seem as counterproductive as KFC's and Komen's 'pink bucket' campaign."
Q&A: Eric Laursen on the Future of Social Security
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10698-qa-eric-laursen-on-the-future-of-social-security
Mark Miller, Retirement Revised: "Eric Laursen is an independent journalist who's been covering political and financial news for more than a quarter-century.... I asked Eric to talk about Social Security's history in the context of recent politics and media coverage."
Assassination Nation: From the Phoenix Program to Predator Drones
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10697-assassination-nation-from-the-phoenix-program-to-predator-drones
Doug Noble, Counterpunch: "This spring the US drone killing program has come out of the closet.... In fact, US assassination and targeted killing, with presidential approval, has been going on covertly for at least half a century."
SEC Shows Abject Incompetence in Case Against Citi Staffer
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10705-sec-shows-abject-incompetence-in-case-against-citi-staffer
Yves Smith, Naked Capitalism: "If anyone was really serious about going after bank misdeeds, the path of action would be to go after how bankers pay for drugs and prostitutes on the company dime.... But it's long been apparent that the problem is not the lack of viable courses of action, but lack of will to undermine the rule of our financial overlords."
"People's Pension" Author: Social Security Cuts Would Hurt Ethnic Families Most
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10701-peoples-pension-author-social-security-cuts-would-hurt-ethnic-families-most
Paul Kleyman, New America Media: "Many observers believe efforts to curtail Social Security and other entitlements might come as part of a 'grand bargain,' as President Obama called it last year, to reign in the national deficit. What's at stake for aging ethnic boomers and others on the economic edge?"
Does Cybercrime Really Cost $1 Trillion?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10700-does-cybercrime-really-cost-1-trillion
Peter Maass and Megha Rajagopalan, ProPublica: "There is little doubt that a lot of cybercrime, cyberespionage and even acts of cyberwar are occurring, but the exact scale is unclear ... Relying on inaccurate or unverifiable estimates is perilous because it can tilt the country's spending priorities and its relations with foreign nations."
Student Debt Crisis: It's Time for a Jubilee
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10699-student-debt-crisis-its-time-for-a-jubilee
Mark Engler, Dissent Magazine: "With soaring tuition, poor job prospects, and loans that take decades to pay off, there's no question that students need a year of jubilee. Yet, the idea that groups accustomed to running international solidarity campaigns have taken up their cause is an unexpected twist."
For Nuclear Power This Summer, It's Too Darn Hot
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10707-for-nuclear-power-this-summer-its-too-darn-hot
Gregg Levine, Capitoilette: "As a too-darn-hot July ends, that's the woo being pitched by the nuclear industry and its government sweethearts.... Nuclear power was already understood to be dirty, dangerous and absurdly expensive, even without the pressures of climate change."
