Death by Corporation, Part IV: Dissolving the Planet for Oil
http://truth-out.org/news/item/18369-mankind-death-by-corporation-part-iv-disintegrating-the-planet-for-oil
Dr. Brian Moench, Truthout: The oil and gas industry pumps millions of gallons of highly hazardous hydrofluoric acid into wells underground all over America, fills thousands of diesel trucks with it, has them drive all over our roads - next to commuters who are texting on their cellphones. What could possibly go wrong?
Chris Hedges | Cornel West and the Fight to Save the Black Prophetic Tradition
http://truth-out.org/news/item/18691-cornel-west-and-the-fight-to-save-the-black-prophetic-tradition
Chris Hedges, TruthDig: Just like the story of the labor movement, the black prophetic tradition is systematically being erased from the American consciousness - a reality that philosopher and political critic Cornel West is fighting every day.
Dean Baker | The Financial Crisis and the Second Great Depression Myth
http://truth-out.org/news/item/18694-the-financial-crisis-and-the-second-great-depression-myth
Dean Baker, Truthout: Programs like TARP during the financial bailout did not stop the US economy from heading into a second depression; without it we would have seen the end of big banks and possibly the rebirth of our economy.
Dear Mr. President: Declare Victory in Syria
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/18714-dear-mr-president
The Daily Take, The Thom Hartmann Program: As Russia and Syria have agreed to work with the Obama administration to address the abuse of chemical weapons diplomatically, it is now time to declare a victory and move on without military intervention.
The US Has No Credibility Dealing With Chemical Weapons
http://truth-out.org/news/item/18710-the-us-has-no-credibility-dealing-with-chemical-weapons
Stephen Zunes, Truthout: Had the United States pursued a policy halting the proliferation of chemical and other nonconventional weapons through region-wide disarmament when it was proposed in 2003 by Syria, it is likely there would be no apparent use of such ordnance and no present rush to war on that basis, says Zunes.
Assad and Walmart: Mass Murderers?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/18711-assad-and-walmart-mass-murderers
Peter Dreier, Truthout: Why all the outrage over the murdered Syrians and so little about the more than 1,000 innocent Bangladeshi garment workers killed in April's factory collapse? Is a government killing its own people worse than a global corporation's complicity when workers toil in deadly dangerous conditions?
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Low Income Residents in Washington Losing Homes for as Little as $44, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/18713-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-low-income-residents-in-washington-losing-homes-for-as-little-as-44
In today's On the News segment: The President will sit down for interviews with six major news networks tonight and call on Congress to approve the military strike; since 2005, investors have seized almost 200 homes in low-income areas in Washington DC, and about one out of every three were debts under $1,000; Sen. Elizabeth Warren denounced the United States Supreme Court as "an instrument of the wealthy"; and more.
Obama's Case for Syria Didn't Reflect Intel Consensus
http://truth-out.org/news/item/18702-obamas-case-for-syria-didnt-reflect-intel-consensus
Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service: An IPS analysis reveals that the Syrian chemical summary sent to Congress is highly biased, reflecting the consensus of the Obama administration instead of an objective, intelligence community assessment.
The Hill to the Rescue on Syria? Don't Hold Your Breath
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/18690-the-hill-to-the-rescue-on-syria-dont-hold-your-breath
Andrew Bacevich, TomDispatch: While some political pundits see Obama's choice to wait on congressional approval in Syria as democratic and others dismiss it as an act of desperation, the history of Congress proves that they too will ultimately fail the American people in finding a direct and diplomatic answer to this political conundrum.
The Century-Long Challenge to Respond to Fukushima
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/18692-the-century-long-challenge-to-respond-to-fukushima
Layne Hartsell and Emanuel Pastreich, Foreign Policy in Focus: Solving the Fukushima nuclear crisis will require rethinking our whole approach to science, social media and public diplomacy.
JOBS: It's That Simple!
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/18700-jobs
Salvatore Babones, Inequality.org: "In a modern economy based on large-scale production by big firms, the government must take responsibility for making sure that jobs are available for those who want them," writes Babones about the state of United States' employment today.
Top-Down Development: A Climate of Uncertainty Fuels Forced Displacement in Nepal's Push for Road Expansions
http://truth-out.org/news/item/18413-top-down-development-a-climate-of-uncertainty-fuels-forced-displacement-in-nepals-push-for-road-expansions
Bennett Heine and Dr. Steve Folmar, Truthout: Planned road expansion in rural Nepal into the Beisahar bazaar illustrates how people can be victimized when the national and local governments, international institutions such as the World and Asian Development Banks, and hydropower companies utterly fail to take their concerns into account.
