http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23121-the-us-government-paying-to-undermine-internet-security-not-to-fix-it
Julia Angwin, ProPublica: The United States spends more than $50 billion a year on spying and intelligence. But the Heartbleed bug reveals our neglect of internet security.
Arundhati Roy: Is India on a Totalitarian Path?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23013-arundhati-roy-is-india-on-a-totalitarian-path
Amy Goodman and Nermeen Shaikh, Democracy Now!: One of India's most famous authors and fiercest critics, Arundhati Roy, is out with a new book, Capitalism: A Ghost Story, which dives into India's transforming political landscape and makes the case that globalized capitalism has intensified the wealth divide, racism and environmental degradation.
Markets Are the Problem (Not the Solution)
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23118-markets-are-the-problem-not-the-solution
Michael D. Yates, Truthout: Underlying Abu Dhabi's luxury island resort, Saadiyat Island, is an army of laborers who arrive heavily indebted, only to be brutally exploited by sponsoring employers, who confiscate their passports. Workers are not free to leave, even if they have not been paid.

The Middle Class Is Not "Normal"
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23133-the-middle-class-is-not-normal
The Daily Take, The Thom Hartmann Program: We have a choice in this country to either continue going down the road to oligarchy, the road we've been on since the Reagan years, or we can choose to go on the road to a more pluralistic society with working class people able to make it into the middle class. We can't have both.

Maureen O'Hagan, Equal Voice: After Katrina, New Orleans authorities threw out the entire public education system. They knocked down public housing projects. They shuttered the longtime charity hospital. In many ways, it was a top-to-bottom re-imagining of the cityscape.
Taxes, the Rich, and Our Known Universe
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23130-taxes-the-rich-and-our-known-universe
Sam Pizzigati, Too Much: Pick a political phenomenon in the United States today. Somewhere in the shadows, if you dig deep enough, you'll find a billionaire feverishly pulling levers to avoid paying higher taxes. Or some politician, just as fevered, working to remain in that billionaire's good graces.
How to Criticize "Big Philanthropy" Effectively
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23131-how-to-criticize-big-philanthropy-effectively
Joanne Barkan, Dissent Magazine: When philanthropists enter the public policy fray, they - like everyone else - legitimately become fair game for criticism and opposition. Tax-exempt status shouldn't create sacred cows.
