Capitalism and Unemployment
http://truth-out.org/news/item/20015-capitalism-and-unemployment
Richard D Wolff, Truthout: Capitalists defend their "right" to hire and fire as an "entitlement" that cannot be questioned. However, its undemocratic nature, perverse social results and huge social and economic costs are borne by us all.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/20010-how-can-the-states-provide-fourth-amendment-protection-against-the-nsa
Michael Boldin, Truthout: Some in the civil liberties community are using state-level action based on a widely accepted legal principle known as the "anticommandeering doctrine" to resist warrantless wiretapping and other NSA violations of the Fourth Amendments' privacy protections.

Americans' Personal Data Shared With CIA, IRS, Others in Security Probe
http://truth-out.org/news/item/20075-americans-personal-data-shared-with-cia-irs-others-in-security-probe
Marisa Taylor, McClatchy Newspapers: US agencies collected and shared the personal information of thousands of Americans in an attempt to root out untrustworthy federal workers, but they ended up scrutinizing people who had no direct ties to the US government and simply had purchased certain books.
How Big Money and Big Media Undermine Democracy
http://truth-out.org/news/item/20066-how-big-money-and-big-media-undermine-democracy
Bill Moyers, Moyers & Company: This past November 6, special interests pumped big money into promoting or tearing down candidates and ballot initiatives in elections across the country. But no one knows the dangers of this "money and media election complex" better than John Nichols and Robert McChesney, who speak with Bill this week.
GMOs Solve No Real Problems Best: The Founding Fables of Industrialized Agriculture
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/20065-gmos-solve-no-real-problems-best-the-founding-fables-of-industrialised-agriculture
Colin Tudge, Independent Science News: GMOs do not consistently or even usually yield well under field conditions; they do not necessarily lead to reduction in chemical inputs, and have often led to increases; and there is no worldwide consensus of scientists vouching for their safety.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/20070-dont-mess-with-texas-michael-bishops-battle-against-transcanada-keystone-xl-tar-sands-pipeline
Julie Dermansky, DeSmogBlog: If you ever doubted that one man's stand against the oil and gas industry can make a difference, consider the case of Michael Bishop. He is trying to stop the Keystone XL pipeline by means of multiple lawsuits.
Rip-Off: High Out-of-Pocket Social Costs are a Stealth Tax on the Middle Class and the Poor
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/20062-rip-off-high-out-of-pocket-social-costs-are-a-stealth-tax-on-the-middle-class-and-the-poor
Joshua Holland, Moyers & Company: Americans' heavy reliance on the private sector to provide social goods and services not only results in us paying a lot and getting a lot less for it, compared to other wealthy countries. It also makes the financing of our entire social welfare system far less fair.
Health Reform's Problems Run Deeper Than a Glitchy Web Site
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/20069-health-reforms-problems-run-deeper-than-a-glitchy-website
Philip Caper, Bangor Daily News: Serious problems with the web sites created by the Affordable Care Act continue and probably will for a long time. But the causes of the web sites' problems are far more serious than poor software design. They are baked into the law by its extreme complexity.

Seth Grande, Dollars & Sense: After spending the weekend discussing organizing skills, on Sunday afternoon the attendees of the International Solidarity Network Conference piled into cars and headed to the Tressa Apartment complex in a north Seattle neighborhood to do what solidarity networks do best: picket, fight and win.
