What "Running the Government Like a Business" Would Mean for Republicans
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14023-what-running-the-government-like-a-business-would-mean-for-republicans
Christopher Petrella, Truthout: Petrella reruns the 2012 Presidential Election according to the "business model" of representation. The results would not please Republicans.
Zero Dark Thirty: US-Condoned Propaganda Promotes Extra-Judicial Killings of Brown Men
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14030-zero-dark-thirty-popcorn-and-extra-judicial-killings
Deepa Kumar, Truthout: Zero Dark Thirty sells us on a strategic shift in the war on terror, from conventional warfare to targeted killing. The new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) legalizes the dissemination of propaganda to US citizens, paving the way for more such films.
Ownership, Full Employment and Community Economic Stability
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14091-ownership-full-employment-and-community-economic-stability
Gar Alperovitz, Back to Full Employment: If we're serious about full employment, and about creating and preserving decent jobs, we shouldn't limit ourselves to traditional conceptions of the kinds of companies that create jobs.
Are 'We The People' the Terrorists Now?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/14096-an-american-mother-ruined-by-our-own-war-on-terror
Thom Hartmann and Sam Sacks, The Daily Take: The fact is that "We the people" allowed this war on terror to begin and to grow. And if "we the people" don't put an end to it fast, then it'll eventually turn its guns on us, too.
Coming Home: The Complexities of the Immigrant Experience
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14074-coming-home-the-complexities-of-the-immigrant-experience
Eleanor J. Bader, Truthout: Refugee Hotel seeks to challenge "entrenched assumptions that refugee populations are part of one homogeneous mass." Eleanor Bader writes that by avoiding the overtly political in favor of stories about individual casualties, the book illustrates why non-violent tactics must resolve all disputes and tensions.
Responding to Financial Crisis: Are Austerity and Suffering Inevitable?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/14087-responding-to-financial-crisis-are-austerity-and-suffering-inevitable
Jayati Ghosh, Back to Full Employment: It can be plausibly argued that in several situations, attempts to reverse economic downswings through cuts in public spending are counterproductive and make matters much worse.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: We Could Be Just Hours Away From Filibuster Reform in the Senate, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/14099-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-we-could-be-just-hours-away-from-filibuster-reform-in-the-senate-and-more
In today's On the News segment: We could be just hours away from filibuster reform in the Senate; working people aren't going on strike nearly as much as they used to 40 years ago; the US Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the Drug Enforcement Administration - and declined to change the official drug classification of marijuana; and more.
Japan's Fiscal Stimulus: Yes, There Is Such a Thing As a Free Lunch
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14081-japans-fiscal-stimulus-yes-there-is-such-a-thing-as-a-free-lunch
Mark Weisbrot, the Guardian: Economists like to say there's no such thing as a free lunch, but sometimes there is a free lunch, and now is one of those times for a lot of countries suffering from unnecessary unemployment, and in some cases, recession.
Does Preaching Apocalypse Work?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14059-does-preaching-apocalypse-work
Javier Sethness, Truthout: In an era of hegemonic cynicism and resignation (important countercurrents like Occupy notwithstanding), activists' use of catastrophic rhetoric apparently does not by itself activate mass-revolutionary movements to counter the forces responsible for eco-destruction. What will?
Dirty Wars: Jeremy Scahill and Rick Rowley's New Film Exposes Hidden Truths of Covert US Warfare
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/14088-dirty-wars-jeremy-scahill-and-rick-rowleys-new-film-exposes-hidden-truths-of-covert-us-warfare
