How Wall Street Won the Election Long Before the First Vote Was Cast
http://truth-out.org/news/item/12358-how-wall-street-won-the-election-long-before-the-first-vote-was-cast
Nomi Prins, AlterNet: Four debates later, and it's clear that Big Finance will continue to drive our economy. Banks trump citizens, and absent severe reconstruction of the banking system, the cycle will absolutely, unequivocally continue.
Secretive Surveillance Program Goes to the Supreme Court
http://truth-out.org/news/item/12356-secretive-surveillance-program-goes-to-the-supreme-court
Staff, RT News: Americans can't challenge a law that lets the National Security Agency eavesdrop on them, but that could change next week as the Supreme Court begins its second session of the year and addresses this issue as a first priority.
Paying Taxes to Your Boss: A Step Toward 21st Century Feudalism
http://truth-out.org/news/item/12366-paying-taxes-to-your-boss-a-step-toward-21st-century-feudalism
Tim Price, Next New Deal: Employers collecting taxes from their workers for the privilege of having a job is already legal in 19 states. Did I forget to mention that these employers aren't even required to tell their workers that this is how their "income taxes" are being used?
Where Romney and Obama Stand on the Supreme Court
http://truth-out.org/news/item/12357-where-romney-and-obama-stand-on-the-supreme-court
Suevon Lee, ProPublica: The next president could very well appoint one or two new justices, and who steps down first could also depend on who's elected. So what exactly have the candidates said, and why hasn't the Supreme Court been a bigger issue?
In Honduras, the International Criminal Court May Be the Last Hope
http://truth-out.org/news/item/12359-in-honduras-the-international-criminal-court-may-be-the-last-hope
Baher Azmy, Truthout: In the two years since the International Criminal Court's preliminary investigation, Honduras has become the murder capital of the world and among the most dangerous countries in which to be a reporter. It is time for the ICC to intervene.
Desert View: Ruben Martinez on Boom and Bust in the "New" Southwest
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/12330-desert-view-ruben-martinez-on-boom-and-bust-in-the-new-southwest
Eleanor J. Bader, Truthout: Ruben Martinez's "Desert America" is an odd - and wonderful - book that blurs the lines between memoir, investigative reporting and social history. He examines locales that, since time immemorial, have been mythologized by spiritualists, shysters, realtors, writers and people in the arts.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Fukushima Is Having Trouble Disposing of Hundreds of Thousands of Tons of Contaminated Nuclear Waste Water, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/12362-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-fukushima-contaminated-nuclear-waste-water-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Fukushima's water-treatment manager admitted that they are having trouble disposing of hundreds of thousands of tons of contaminated nuclear waste water; a CEO threatened his employees that he would drop the company's contributions to employee retirement funds if Obama wins; oil giant ConocoPhillips announced earnings of $1.8 billion in the third-quarter of this year, yet receives on average $600 million in tax breaks ever single year; and more.
Portland, Oregon Prepares for Pre-Election Anti-Austerity Protest
http://truth-out.org/news/item/12363-portland-oregon-prepares-for-pre-election-anti-austerity-protest
Shamus Cooke, Countercurrents: On November 3, Portland community and labor groups will demonstrate against local government austerity cuts. The activists hope the action will have the potential of growing into a powerful European-like movement capable of changing social policy on a national level.
When Boston Police Spy on Free Speech, Democracy Suffers
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/12360-when-boston-police-spy-on-free-speech-democracy-suffers
Nancy Murray, Boston.com: There is evidence that Boston Police officers have worked within the local fusion spying center to monitor the lawful political activity of local peace groups and track their movements and beliefs. There are indications that these illegal reports have been shared around the country.
Obama and Romney Unite on Destructive Bioenergy Policy
http://truth-out.org/news/item/12361-obama-and-romney-unite-on-destructive-bioenergy-policy
Josh Schlossberg, Energy Justice Network: Obama and Romney may not see eye to eye on issues like same-sex marriage, immigration or abortion, but when it comes to the candidates' harmful stances on biomass energy and biofuels, the two might as well be running on the same ticket.
