http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/20143-the-trans-pacific-partnership-treaty-is-the-complete-opposite-of-free-trade
Mark Weisbrot, The Guardian: It is quite amazing that a treaty like the TPP can still be promoted as a "free trade" agreement when its most economically important provisions are the exact opposite of "free trade" - the expansion of protectionism.
Paul Krugman | The Dollar Will Be All Right
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/20060-the-dollar-will-be-all-right
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: Even if the dollar loses some of its dominance, why should Americans get bent out of shape? There is no evidence that the United States is able to borrow at dramatically lower rates because of the dollar's role.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/20144-border-patrol-international-the-american-homeland-is-the-planet

In today's On the News segment: Our nation has seen the dangers of coal mining and drilling for natural gas, but few of us have heard of coal gasification; Arizona's private prisons are telling inmates to pray when they get sick; the Sacramento Superior Court says that California has the right to hold polluters accountable; and more.
Who's to Blame for Battlefield America? Is It Militarized Police or the Militarized Culture?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/20119-whos-to-blame-for-battlefield-america-is-it-militarized-police-or-the-militarized-culture
John W. Whitehead, The Rutherford Institute: It's hard to pinpoint what exactly is responsible for the growing spate of police shootings, brutality and overreach that have come to dominate the news. But whether it's militarized police or a militarized culture, it's a little like the chicken-and-the-egg debate.
