The Myth That Japan Is Broke: The World's Largest "Debtor" Is Now the World=
's Largest Creditor
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11414-the-myth-that-japan-is-broke-the-world=
s-largest-debtor-is-now-the-worlds-largest-creditor
Ellen Brown, Truthout: "Properly managed and directed, it seems, the debt n=
eed be nothing to fear. Like Japan, and unlike Greece and other euro zone c=
ountries, the United States is the sovereign issuer of its own currency. If=
it wished, Congress could fund its budget without resorting to foreign cre=
ditors or private banks. It could do this either by issuing the money direc=
tly or by borrowing from its own central bank, effectively interest-free, s=
ince the Fed rebates its profits to the government after deducting its cost=
s."
You Can't Ever Stop Being Vigilant: The Role of Alternative Media in Protec=
ting Democracy=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11420-you-cant-ever-stop-being-vigilant-the-=
role-of-alternative-media-in-protecting-democracy
Beverly Bell, Other Worlds: "Beverly Bell interviews Leslie Thatcher, conte=
nt relations editor at Truthout, one of a number of independent, non-commer=
cial news sites that offer an alternative to corporate-controlled media. In=
a world where corporations are considered persons and a few individuals ar=
e funding the lion's share of the presidential elections, independent media=
is critical to keeping citizens informed and motivated defenders of democr=
acy.... 'The very fact that we at Truthout live and die every month by the =
support of our readers, and that it's been forthcoming all this time, is ce=
rtainly a cause of hope.'"
On the News With Thom Hartmann: At This Year's DNC, President Obama Offered=
Choice, Not Change=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11415-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-at-this=
-years-dnc-president-obama-offered-choice-not-change
Thom Hartmann, The Thom Hartmann Program: In today's On the News Segment: P=
resident Obama took the stage at the DNC on Thursday night and instead of t=
alking about change - he talked about choice; new unemployment numbers are =
out today showing the economy added 96,000 new jobs - making it the 30th st=
raight month of private sector job creation on President Obama's watch; meg=
a bank JP Morgan Chase is facing scrutiny from the United States Senate; an=
d more.
Kill Lists and Giant Triplets: Obama and the Neoliberal Government
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11417-kill-lists-and-giant-triplets-obama=
-and-the-neoliberal-government
Tolu Olorunda, CounterPunch: "The tight rope upon which many balanced their=
hopes-for a truly different and transformative model of governance-has los=
t a good deal of fidelity, as the Obama Administration proves day after day=
a determined unwillingness to stray far from many of the policies that ear=
ned the ire of millions, the world over, while his predecessor held the for=
t=E2=80=A6. So, now, one question widely abounds: Who is the real Obama?"
Pink Shrouds Aimed to Draw Attention to Iran Military Site, Analysts Say
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11425-pink-shrouds-aimed-to-draw-attention-t=
o-iran-military-site-analysts-say
Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service: "Diplomats from an unidentified country=
and a Washington research organization considered close to the Internation=
al Atomic Energy Agency have alleged in recent weeks that Iran has covered =
two buildings at a military site to hide a clean-up of evidence of nuclear =
weapons related testing. But two former intelligence analysts with experien=
ce in interpreting satellite photographs of military facilities say the cov=
erings on the two buildings in published images of the site don't appear to=
be aimed at hiding anything."
Free Trade Lobby Brigade Deployed at DNC=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11412-free-trade-lobby-brigade-deployed-at-d=
nc
Steve Horn, Truthout: "Free trade may be free for multinational corporation=
s, but everyone else pays the price. Not that anyone seemed to contemplate =
this amid the glitz and glamour of center stage at the Democratic National =
Convention in Charlotte, where the two words seemed notably absent from the=
discussion. But outside the convention center, a brigade of free trade lob=
byists were among the cadre of influential people behind the parties at the=
DNC. The quadrennial affair, and its Republican counterpart in Tampa the w=
eek before, was ground zero for influence peddling."
Breaking With Convention: Occupy Chicago Protests GOP in Tampa, Democrats a=
t Home
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11421-breaking-with-convention-occupy-chicag=
o-protests-gop-in-tampa-democrats-at-home
Joe Macare, Occupied Chicago Tribune: "On September 17, Occupy Wall Street =
will mark its one year anniversary with a spirit somewhere between celebrat=
ion, outrage, and the need to reaffirm its own identity and significance. B=
ut in Chicago the Occupy movement seems to have other priorities for Septem=
ber, namely protesting the Democratic National Convention and supporting th=
e likely teachers' strike.... But, as was the case in May when preparations=
for NATO trumped involvement in the national Occupy 'General Strike,' Chic=
ago is operating on its own schedule - perhaps to the movement's benefit."
Guy Delisle's "Jerusalem": Peering Through the Veil of Orientalism
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11231-guy-delisles-jerusalem-peering-thro=
ugh-the-veil-of-orientalism
Jimmy Johnson, Truthout: "'Jerusalem' provides a series of illuminating, en=
tertaining and infuriating stories. Delisle proves once again that he is an=
immensely talented and innovative cartoonist and storyteller. His politica=
l analysis leaves much to be desired=E2=80=A6. Yet, his talent for capturin=
g the everyday trials of life and his efforts to illustrate trauma, violenc=
e and normalcy, as well as showing how so many people learn about Palestine=
, still makes 'Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City' an easily recommen=
ded volume."
Divided by Immigration Policy
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11418-divided-by-immigration-policy
John Leland, The New York Times News Service: "The outpouring was intense t=
his summer when President Obama announced that his administration would tem=
porarily stop deporting many illegal immigrants who came to the United Stat=
es as children=E2=80=A6. Now, friends, siblings and spouses who for years s=
hared the same precarious status find themselves on opposite sides of a div=
ide, one preparing for lawful work or access to student loans, the other br=
acing for the tap of an immigration official."

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Steve Horn, Truthout:</strong> "Free trade may be free for multinational corporations, but everyone else pays the price. Not that anyone seemed to contemplate this amid the glitz and glamour of center stage at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, where the two words seemed notably absent from the discussion. But outside the convention center, a brigade of free trade lobbyists were among the cadre of influential people behind the parties at the DNC. The quadrennial affair, and its Republican counterpart in Tampa the week before, was ground zero for influence peddling."</p>

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Joe Macare, Occupied Chicago Tribune:</strong> "On September 17, Occupy Wall Street will mark its one year anniversary with a spirit somewhere between celebration, outrage, and the need to reaffirm its own identity and significance. But in Chicago the Occupy movement seems to have other priorities for September, namely protesting the Democratic National Convention and supporting the likely teachers' strike.... But, as was the case in May when preparations for NATO trumped involvement in the national Occupy 'General Strike,' Chicago is operating on its own schedule - perhaps to the movement's benefit."</p>

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Jimmy Johnson, Truthout:</strong> "’Jerusalem’ provides a series of illuminating, entertaining and infuriating stories. Delisle proves once again that he is an immensely talented and innovative cartoonist and storyteller. His political analysis leaves much to be desired…. Yet, his talent for capturing the everyday trials of life and his efforts to illustrate trauma, violence and normalcy, as well as showing how so many people learn about Palestine, still makes ‘Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City’ an easily recommended volume."</p>

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>John Leland, The New York Times News Service:</strong> "The outpouring was intense this summer when President Obama announced that his administration would temporarily stop deporting many illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children…. Now, friends, siblings and spouses who for years shared the same precarious status find themselves on opposite sides of a divide, one preparing for lawful work or access to student loans, the other bracing for the tap of an immigration official."</p>
