Unlike the mainstream corporate media, Truthout is more interested in the secret abuses committed by those in power than calling for the capture of those who expose those secrets. We don't echo jingoistic assumptions; we present news, analysis and opinion based on principle. Can you help us raise the $30,000 we need to continue this vital work? Your support is crucial to help champion our shared values!

Mike Lofgren | The Authoritarian Seduction
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/17210-the-authoritarian-seduction
Mike Lofgren, Truthout: Americans' confidence in our self-governing institutions like Congress, media, and labor unions is at an all-time low, while confidence in military, police and religion is up.
Global Power Project, Part 3: The Influence of Individuals and Family Dynasties
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/17259-global-power-project-part-3-the-influence-of-individuals-and-family-dynasties
Andrew Gavin Marshall, Occupy.com: With the rise of capitalism, finance and corporations, formal political dynasties became less relevant to the expansion and maintenance of power and empire. Instead, dynastic power was and remains largely wielded in the corporate and financial sectors.
Military Commission Pre-Trial Hearings for Alleged 9/11 "Plotters" Focus on Gitmo Conditions
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/17216-military-commission-pre-trial-hearings-for-alleged-911-plotters-focus-on-gitmo-conditions
Adam Hudson, Truthout: Pretrial hearings for the military commission of the five alleged plotters of the September 11 terrorist held at Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba last week covered issues with attorney-client communications, the Red Cross's right to confidentiality, and prisoner treatment, including force-feeding.
Pepper Spray, Rubber Bullets and IRS Questionnaires
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/17218-pepper-spray-rubber-bullets-and-irs-questionnaires
Chip Gibbons, Truthout: If political speech is only as endangered as the media portrays it to be, then brutality and surveillance against Occupy pales in comparison to IRS scrutiny of the Tea Party.
"Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Food Rights": Shouldn't We Decide What We Eat?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/17252-life-liberty-and-the-pursuit-of-food-rights-shouldnt-we-decide-what-we-eat
Mark Karlin, Truthout: The food rights movement depicted in David E. Gumpert's Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Food Rights is trying to preserve the freedom of small farms, which are under attack for selling goods privately at higher prices than they can receive in the commodity system controlled by large corporations.
The Wonderful American World of Informers and Agents Provocateurs: Close Encounters of the Lower-Tech Kind
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/17266-the-wonderful-american-world-of-informers-and-agents-provocateurs-close-encounters-of-the-lower-tech-kind
Todd Gitlin, TomDispatch: American high-tech surveillance is not the only kind around. There's also the lower tech, up-close-and-personal kind that involves informers and sometimes government-instigated violence. Just how much of this is going on and in how coordinated a way no one knows.
As Deadline Looms, Fight Against Student Loan Rate Hike Intensifies
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/17270-as-deadline-looms-fight-against-student-loan-rate-hike-intensifies
Jane Yurechko, Campaign for America's Future: As the deadline of July 1 approaches for preventing student Stafford Loan rates from doubling to 6.8 percent, it seems less and less likely Congress will be able to push any legislation through to help students.
The Modern Movement for Civil Rights
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/17268-the-modern-movement-for-civil-rights
Julian Bond, Other Words: Jim Crow may be dead, but racism is alive and well. Our first order of business now needs to be demanding that Congress reformulate the pre-clearance requirement of the Voting Rights Act, which the Supreme Court has just invalidated.
Eugene Robinson | Food for Thought on Paula Deen
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/17267-food-for-thought-on-paula-deen
Eugene Robinson, Washington Post Writers Group: Paula Deen is 66, not 96. She was all of 7 when the Supreme Court issued its Brown v. Board of Education decision, which means she's had plenty of time to get used to it.
