Coming Home to Roost: American Militarism, War Culture and Police Brutality
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22498-coming-home-to-roost-american-militarism-war-culture-and-police-brutality
Colin Jenkins, The Hampton Institute: Rather than seeing themselves as public servants, police officers have increasingly embraced the "us vs. them" mentality - anyone who isn't a cop is a potential threat. That attitude makes police "mindless drones" void of conscience in a world that is becoming increasingly unconscionable - the ultimate tool of an ever-intensifying class war.
IMF Urges Redistribution To Tackle Growing Inequality
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22496-imf-urges-redistribution-to-tackle-growing-inequality
Carey L. Biron, Inter Press Service: The International Monetary Fund (IMF), arguably the world's premiere financial institution, is stating unequivocally that income inequality "tends to reduce the pace and durability" of economic growth. But the new advice on income inequality will likely be received skeptically by some.
America's $1 Trillion National Security Budget
http://truth-out.org/news/item/22495-americas-1-trillion-national-security-budget
Winslow T. Wheeler, Project On Government Oversight: Pentagon costs, taken together with other known national security expenses for 2015, will exceed $1 trillion. The problem is not scarcity of money; the problem is how it is being spent. We are getting very little defense - training, maintenance, hardware, and troops - for a gigantic amount of money.
Striking for the Public University
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/22503-striking-for-the-public-university
Marjorie Elizabeth Wood, OtherWords: Once hailed as the "Great Equalizer," public higher education today has arguably become a driver of inequality.
This week in Speakout: Dan Falcone interviews Walter Naegle, partner of the late Bayard Rustin who organized the 1963 March on Washington; Kate Zen argues for support for the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights in Massachusetts; Tony Brown questions California's exorbitant spending on prisons rather than education; Mark Brenner and Jane Slaughter pitch a new book that demonstrates how the strike remains labor's most powerful weapon; Benjamin Hale sheds light on the resurgence of ethnic violence in South Sudan; Cayman Kai discusses her harrowing ordeal trying to get to Gaza for International Women's Day; Steven Starr assesses the possible nuclear ramifications of NATO involvement in Ukraine; and more.
