The Financial War Against the Economy at Large
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13718-the-financial-war-against-the-economy-at-large
Michael Hudson, Naked Capitalism: Today's economic warfare is not the kind waged a century ago between labor and its industrial employers, and the weapon in this financial warfare is no larger military force. It's debt.
NRA's Vision: A Nation Packing Heat
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13728-nras-vision-a-nation-packing-heat
Bill Moyers and Michael Winship, Moyers & Company: In a country where even life and death are measured by the profit margin, the cure for gun violence is, yes, more guns! Bigger profits.
Exercise and the Ever-Smarter Human Brain
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13719-exercise-and-the-ever-smarter-human-brain
Gretchen Reynolds, The New York Times News Service: Our brains were shaped and sharpened by movement, the idea goes, and we continue to require regular physical activity in order for our brains to function optimally.
Why Climate Change Won't Wait for the President
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/13729-why-climate-change-wont-wait-for-the-president
Bill McKibben, TomDispatch: Those of us in the growing grassroots climate movement are going as fast and hard as we know how (though not, I fear, as fast as physics demands). Maybe if we go fast enough even this all-too-patient president will get caught up in the draft.
Groups Decry Obama's Failure to Close Guantanamo
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13727-groups-decry-obamas-failure-to-close-guantanamo
Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service: For the second year in a row, Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act, which was passed by both houses of Congress last month and authorizes the Pentagon to spend 633 billion dollars on Guantanamo in 2013.
Can You Fight Poverty With a Five-Star Hotel?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13730-can-you-fight-poverty-with-a-five-star-hotel
Cheryl Strauss Einhorn, ProPublica: In case after case, the verdict was the same: The International Finance Corporation likes to work with huge corporations, funding projects these companies could finance themselves.
Ontario Next Right-to-Work Target?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13733-ontario-next-right-to-work-target
David Bush, Labor Notes: The more unions are beaten back in the United States, the worse it is for Canadian workers, whose jobs can easily be shipped south. Just last month, General Motors announced it would be moving jobs from Ontario to Michigan.
A Model T Education: Public Schooling on the Assembly Line
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13732-a-model-t-education-public-schooling-on-the-assembly-line
Adam Bessie, Daily Censored: Mass-production is a problem for education - indeed, it is now the problem. Our schools are not factories, and our children are not products to be mass-produced. Any real effort at reform will not look backwards to the assembly-line.
Nine Stories That Will Change Your World in 2013
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13731-9-stories-that-will-change-your-world-in-2013
Sarah van Gelder, YES! Magazine: While the Earth didn't end on December 21, 2012, the year's end was marked by a new awareness of the urgency of the climate crisis. Americans are becoming increasingly aware of the preciousness and fragility of life on Earth.
This week in SpeakOut: Lee Camp gives us the "year in review" that the corporate media does not want you to see; Lee R. Haven reveals the flaws and successes of Tarantino's new slave-era revenge western "Django Unchained;" the Chicago Teacher's Union files a discrimination suit after the city fires 347 tenured teachers, over half of which were African American; a Navajo man demands a day of apology to open dialogue about the oppression of Native Americans in this country that continues to this day; and more.
