Candice Bernd, Truthout: Community members and victims' families fear harassment, surveillance and even premeditated murder at the hands of the Albuquerque Police Department.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23858-sinister-franchise-exporting-the-tea-party

http://truth-out.org/news/item/23877-behind-the-koch-brothers-new-book-spills-the-secrets-of-nations-most-powerful-and-private-dynasty

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23879-american-lung-association-contradicts-its-own-mission
Ronald Saff and Maura Stephens, Truthout: The American Lung Association has acknowledged that fracking causes massive amounts of cancer-causing air pollution and has urged stronger regulations, but after receiving hefty donations from a fracking company, the ALA switched to actively promoting gas as "cleaner than other fossil fuels."
Has America's Use of Finance as a Foreign Policy Tool Backfired?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23863-has-americas-use-of-finance-as-a-foreign-policy-tool-backfired
Yves Smith, Naked Capitalism: From the 1980s onward, one of the major aims of American foreign policy has been to make the world safer for US investment bankers. That might seem like an exaggeration until you look at the priorities of American economic policy as well as the actions of US-dominated international institutions like the World Bank and the IMF.

Students Now Indentured to the Banksters
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23882-students-now-indentured-to-the-banksters
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: We have shot ourselves in the foot by listening to 33 years of failed Reaganomics, and by buying into the idea that education should be a commodity and something that banksters can get rich off of instead of part of the commons.
The 95 Percent Doctrine: Climate Change as a Weapon of Mass Destruction
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/23880-the-95-percent-doctrine-climate-change-as-a-weapon-of-mass-destruction
Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: When we speak of weapons of mass destruction, we usually think of weapons - nuclear, biological or chemical - that are delivered in a measurable moment in time. Consider climate change, then, a WMD on a particularly long fuse, already lit and there for any of us to see.

http://www.truth-out.org/buzzflash/commentary/cities-should-own-internet-services-to-increase-speed-and-decrease-price-but-isps-are-prohibiting-it
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: Internet service providers are upset that Chattanooga is offering municipal internet service at 10 times the speed and at much less expensive rates.
