Elizabeth Warren Wins the "Which Side Are You On?" Debate
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11685-elizabeth-warren-wins-the-which-side-are-you-on-debate
John Nichols, The Nation: "An overbearing and at times ridiculously aggressive Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown came across as a desperate man September 20, as he attempted to gain the upper hand in the first debate of this year's most closely-watched US Senate race and, by extension, in a re-election contest that seems to be slipping away from him.... But Warren never sweated it. She knew she had the winning hand. And she played it."
Why the New Fed Stimulus Won't Jumpstart the Economy - and What Would
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11657-why-qe3-wont-jumpstart-the-economy-and-what-would
Ellen Brown, Truthout: "The economy could use a good dose of 'aggregate demand' - new spending money in the pockets of consumers - but QE3 [quantitative easing] won't do it. Neither will it trigger the dreaded hyperinflation. In fact, it won't do much at all. There are better alternatives."
Koch Brothers Cashing in 220,000 Acres of Tar Sands Holdings
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11682-koch-brothers-cashing-in-220000-acres-of-tar-sands-holdings
Elizabeth Douglass, InsideClimate News: "A Canadian division of Koch Industries is reviewing a range of offers to buy up to 220,000 net acres of its many undeveloped oil sands properties within Alberta's vast reserves of oil sands.... The move by Koch to sell off one of its partnerships pulls the curtain back further on the Koch family's deep but quiet involvement in Canada's tar sands industry."
International Peace Day From Kabul, Afghanistan
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11684-international-peace-day-from-kabul-afghanistan
Johnny Barber, Z Communications: "The first Peace Day was observed on September 21, 1982. In 1982 the Soviet Union was increasing its troop presence in Afghanistan and facing fierce fighting throughout the provinces. Thirty years later Afghanistan is still at war."
My State-Sponsored Assault, Courtesy of the NYPD
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11694-my-state-sponsored-assault-courtesy-of-the-nypd
John Knefel, Truthout: A journalist recounts his violent arrest by the NYPD - apparently for listening to the "People's Gong" during the Occupy anniversary celebrations - and his subsequent experience in custody.
Paul Krugman | In Britain and the US, Economic Mysticism Endures
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11680-in-britain-and-the-us-economic-mysticism-endures
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: "In a lot of ways George Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance minister) is Britain's answer to Paul Ryan. True, he's a toned-down version ... but other aspects of [the] package are there in full force: He's articulate, has a vision that's completely at odds with everything we actually know about macroeconomics and he was for a while the darling, not just of the right, but of self-proclaimed centrists on both sides of the Atlantic."
New Revelations Suggest DoD Cover-Up Over Detainee Drugging Charges
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11640-new-revelations-suggest-dod-cover-up-over-detainee-drugging-charges
Jeffrey Kaye, Truthout: "Two new revelations, and a critical analysis of the recent Department of Defense (DoD) Inspector General (IG) report on the drugging of DoD-held detainees, reveal a cover-up of such drugging by the Pentagon and possibly other government agencies. A recent attorney's affidavit charges that at least one Guantanamo detainee was involuntarily drugged before his plea hearing at the military commissions."
Backlash Culture: White Supremacy and the Music of Hatred
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11672-backlash-culture-white-supremacy-and-the-music-of-hatred
Arthur Goldwag, Truthout: "For the angry right, hatred is a symphony of duplicity, orchestrated by turning the truth on its head - which is how they came to compose an operatic backlash in which a rampaging neo-Nazi was transformed into an insidious tool of the left."
"Won't Back Down" Film Pushes ALEC "Parent Trigger" Proposal
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11681-wont-back-down-film-pushes-alec-parent-trigger-proposal
Mary Bottari and Sara Jerving, PRWatch: "The emotionally engaging Hollywood film 'Won't Back Down' - set for release September 28 - portrays so-called 'Parent Trigger" laws as an effective mechanism for transforming underperforming public schools. But the film's distortion of the facts prompts a closer examination of its funders and backers and a closer look at those promoting Parent Trigger as a cure for what ails the American education system."
Debate on Proposed Alaska Mine Waste Storage Facility Spreads the Myth of "Monitoring in Perpetuity"
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11662-debate-on-alaska-mine-waste-storage-spreads-the-myth-of-monitoring-in-perpetuity
Donald G. Schweitzer, Truthout: "The Pebble Partnership in Southwest Alaska is proposing to build the largest facility on the planet to hold toxic acid-mining wastes - forever. It is to be built on a seismically unstable site adjacent to a pristine region that contains one of the few remaining sustainable salmon sources in the world. History is replete with incidents of accidents in mining-waste storage sites."
Apartheid Never Died in South Africa: It Inspired a World Order Upheld by Force and Illusion
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11687-apartheid-never-died-in-south-africa-it-inspired-a-world-order-upheld-by-force-and-illusion
John Pilger, Truthout: "The new black elite in South Africa, whose numbers and influence had been growing steadily during the latter racial apartheid years, understood the part they would play following 'liberation.' In his prescient classic 'The Wretched of the Earth,' Frantz Fanon wrote: 'Their 'historic mission' has nothing to do with transforming the nation: It consists, prosaically, of being the transmission line between the nation and a capitalism rampant, though camouflaged.'"
Economic Update: History of Workers Co-ops
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11664-economic-update-history-of-workers-coops
Richard D. Wolff, Economic Update/Truthout: Updates on Chicago teachers strike and looming student loan crisis. Extended interview with John Curl, author of 'For All the People', on hidden US history of workers' cooperative enterprises.
