"A Mighty Stream": Martin Luther King Jr.'s Faith Guided Him to a Commitmen=
t to Economic Justice
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14005-a-mighty-stream-martin-luther-king-=
jrs-faith-guided-him-to-a-commitment-to-economic-justice
Rev. Osagyefo Sekou, Truthout: Reverend Sekou's review of the life of Marti=
n Luther King Jr. focuses on MLK's yearning for economic justice and "a war=
less world, a better distribution of wealth and a brotherhood that transcen=
ds race or color."=20
Dulling Down Dr. King's Message=20
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14034-dulling-down-dr-kings-message
Gary G. Kohls, Consortium News: The suspicion that King's gospel-based nonv=
iolent message has been effectively scrubbed from our consciousness was rei=
nforced for me a few years back when a shirt from Atlanta's King Center had=
printed on it the "seven steps to social change."
Aaron Swartz, Financial Fraud, and the Justice Department=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/14033-aaron-swartz-financial-fraud-and-the-j=
ustice-department
Dean Baker, Truthout: The Justice Department apparently wanted to send a me=
ssage with its decision to prosecute Swartz while ignoring the financial fr=
aud that fueled the housing bubble. It certainly did.
At Obama's Second Inauguration, How Emancipated Are We Really?=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/14036-at-obamas-second-inauguration-how-eman=
cipated-are-we-really
Laura Flanders, The Guardian: We could do with another march, but more impo=
rtantly, another movement with equal punch. People like to say freedom isn'=
t free. But neither is emancipation: it costs the status quo. Emancipating =
a former slave state like ours takes a whole lot more than a declaration. W=
e're not there yet.
A Second Inaugural, A Second Conspiracy=20
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14041-a-second-inaugural-a-second-conspir=
acy
Thom Hartmann and Sam Sacks, The Daily Take: Today we saw the second Democr=
atic President since FDR to have a Second Inaugural. But just underneath th=
e revelry, conspiracies abound. And the Billionaire Class won't rest until =
they're assured that what happened today never happens again.=20
If Right-Wing Violence is Up 400%, Why is the FBI Targeting Environmentalis=
ts?=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/14038-if-right-wing-violence-is-up-400-why-i=
s-the-fbi-targeting-environmentalists
Will Potter, Green Is the New Red: The FBI has been either grossly miscalcu=
lating, or intentionally downplaying, murders and violent attacks by right-=
wing extremists while exaggerating the threat posed by animal rights activi=
sts and environmentalists, who have only destroyed property.
The Radicalization of Martin Luther King=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/14035-the-radicalization-of-martin-luther-ki=
ng
Paul Jay, The Real News Network: Obama's presidency has nothing to do with =
the legacy of King, it's actually the opposite. It's a cheap PR trick.=20
Obama Inauguration Sponsors Spent Millions Influencing Government=20
http://truth-out.org/news/item/14037-obama-inauguration-sponsors-spent-mill=
ions-influencing-government
Dave Levinthal, Center for Public Integrity: Obama's inaugural festivities =
Monday are bankrolled by several of the nation's most powerful corporate lo=
bbying forces, which have collectively spent at least $158.6 million on lob=
bying since the president first took office, a Center for Public Integrity =
review of congressional disclosures indicates.
Don't You Dare Conflate MLK and Obama=20
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14039-dont-you-dare-conflate-mlk-and-obam=
a
Glen Ford, Black Agenda Report: Were Martin alive, he would skewer the puta=
tive leftists and their "lesser evil" rationales for backing the corporatis=
t, warmongering Obama. As both a theologian and a "revolutionary democrat,"=
MLK had no problem calling evil by its name =E2=80=93 and in explicate tri=
plicate.=20
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Celebrating MLK Day, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/14042-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-celebra=
ting-mlk-day-and-more
In today's On the News segment: A million Americans gathered to watch the i=
nauguration of President Barack Obama; we honored Dr. Martin Luther King; R=
epublicans announced they will approve a short-term increase in the debt li=
