Truthout Interviews Chris Hedges: Why Revolt Is All We Have Left
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11032-truthout-interviews-chris-hedges-about-why-revolt-is-all-we-have-left
Mark Karlin, Truthout: "Chris Hedges: Those who are economically broken usually cease to be concerned with civic virtues. They will, history has demonstrated, serve any system, no matter how evil, and do anything for a pitiful salary, a chance for job security and the protection of their families."
Real Remedies for the Foreclosure Crisis Exist: The Game-Changing Implications of Bain v. MERS
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11045-real-remedies-for-the-foreclosure-crisis-exist-the-game-changing-implications-of-bain-v-mers
Ellen Brown, Truthout: "Homeowners who paid much more for a home than it was worth as a result of the securitization bubble have little chance of challenging the legitimacy of their underwater mortgages on their own. Insisting that their state and local governments follow the lead of Washington State and San Bernardino County may be their best shot at escaping debt peonage to their mortgage lenders."
Walmart, Right-Wing Media Company Hold Star-Studded Benefit Promoting Education Reform Film
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11048-walmart-right-wing-media-company-hold-star-studded-benefit-promoting-education-reform-film
Josh Eidelson, In These Times: "The world's largest private-sector employer and the country's most prominent conservative entertainment company have teamed up to sponsor a fundraiser called 'Teachers Rock' ... Walmart's involvement in 'Teachers Rock' [is] evidence of an agenda 'to Walmart-ize teachers' by securing the power to 'totally strip collective-bargaining rights and health benefits,' and exercise discretion to replace teachers at will, [says Jose Vilson, a New York City math teacher and board member of the Center for Teacher Quality]."
Robert Reich | The Fanatical GOP
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11047-robert-reich-the-fanatical-gop
Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "Although the GOP crackup may bode well for Democrats this coming Election Day, it bodes ill for America. The capture of one of our great parties by fanatics is nothing to celebrate."
How America's Falling Share of Global College Graduates Threatens Future Economic Competitiveness
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11044-how-americas-falling-share-of-global-college-graduates-threatens-future-economic-competitiveness
Travis Waldron, ThinkProgress: "The United States' share of global college graduates fell substantially in the first decade of the 21st century and stands to drop even more by 2020 as developing economies in China and India have graduated more college students, presenting challenges for American workers' ability to remain competitive in a global economy in the future."
Romney Is Wrong About Mexico
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11041-romney-is-wrong-about-mexico
Oscar J. Martinez, Truthout: "The asymmetry that exists between Mexico and the United States, or between poor and wealthy countries generally, is firmly rooted in the following foundational factors: geography, natural resources, trade relations, population dynamics and governance."
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Ron Paul Announces His Policy Positions Will Be Rolled Up Into the Official Party Platform, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11063-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-ron-paul-announces-his-policy-positions-will-be-rolled-up-into-the-official-party-platform-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Ron Paul's campaign has struck a deal with Mitt Romney and the Republican Party, promising to not disrupt the convention next week, and in return, many of Paul's delegates will be seated and his policy positions will be rolled up into the official party platform; well over 500 days and counting since the nuclear disaster at Fukushima in Japan, and even more consequences of it are now coming to the surface; Missouri Republican Congressman Todd Akin refuses to drop out of the state's Senate race; and more.
Is It Really Best for Women if Akin Withdraws? Questions About a Defining Moment
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11046-is-it-really-best-for-women-if-akin-withdraws-questions-about-a-defining-moment
Jodi Jacobson, RH Reality Check: "If Akin drops out, he will be replaced by someone equally as anti-choice but with a smoother tongue, a proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing.... With Akin running, that question stays alive, and can be used to pin down every other right-wing GOP, Tea Party, and anti-choice Democrat running for state and national office throughout the rest of the election."
Blame Flies Over Police Massacre of 34 South African Miners
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11050-blame-flies-over-police-massacre-of-34-south-african-miners
Bhaskar Sunkara and Mike Elk, In These Times: "Instead of focusing on whether the police used excessive force, the South African media has been quick to claim the incident stemmed from violent clashes earlier in the week between two rival unions."
Civilian Deaths From US Drone Attacks Much Higher Than Reported
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11058-civilian-deaths-from-us-drone-attacks-much-higher-than-reported
Paul Jay, The Real News Network: "Gareth Porter: In the areas where the [drone] strikes have taken place, they generate not just anger, but I think it's generally agreed that the Taliban and al-Qaeda and other groups have been able to generate more enthusiasm for support for the jihadist sentiment that they represent."
Detroit's Wayne State University Looks to Destroy Tenure
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11049-detroit%E2%80%99s-wayne-state-university-looks-to-destroy-tenure
Aaron Petkov, Labor Notes: "Wayne State University in Detroit has proposed a new contract that would radically redefine the terms for eliminating faculty. The school would be the first research university to effectively abolish tenure, said officials of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), opening the door for other campuses under pressure from cuts in public spending to try similar moves."
