Dahr Jamail | The Future of Food?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/23909-the-future-of-food
Dahr Jamail, Truthout: Global agricultural projection needs to increase by =
70 percent, at a minimum, by 2050 in order to keep pace with a projected 40=
percent increase in population by that time. A fish farm and vegetable gar=
den in Houston, Texas could provide a blueprint for a sustainable and commu=
nity-based solution.
Activists Working to Transform LA County Sheriffs Hope Changes Will Apply f=
or the Entire Country
http://truth-out.org/news/item/23908-activists-working-to-transform-la-coun=
ty-sheriffs-hope-changes-will-apply-for-the-entire-country
Bethania Palma Markus, Truthout: Los Angeles activists' vigorous push to re=

tive national program to reduce police violence, racism and classism.
Chris Hedges | Thomas Paine, Our Contemporary
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/23966-thomas-paine-our-contemporary
Chris Hedges, Truthdig: Thomas Paine's unrelenting commitment to truth and =
justice, along with his eternal rebelliousness, saw him later vilified by t=
he leaders of the new American republic, who had no interest in the egalita=
rian society championed by Paine.
The New York Times: Everybody Who's Anybody Wants to Bomb Syria
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23975-nyt-everybody-whos-anybody-want=
s-to-bomb-syria=20
Robert Naiman, Truthout: Why would the Obama administration want to get the=
United States more deeply involved militarily in Syria? Didn't the US publ=
ic - Democrats, Republicans and Independents - decisively reject this last=
fall? Didn't Congress refuse to authorize it?
The Government-Corporate Complex: Surveillance for the Money
http://truth-out.org/news/item/23969-the-government-corporate-complex-surve=
illance-for-the-money
Beatrice Edwards, Berrett-Koehler Publishers: The NSA's surveillance progra=
ms are illegal as well as not useful for counterterrorism. Had the agency d=
eveloped the in-house and inexpensive Thin Thread program instead of altern=
atives dictated by private financial interests, 9/11 might have been foiled=
and the Fourth Amendment might still have meaning.
The Rights of Journalists in Decline Around the Globe
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23959-the-rights-of-journalists-in-decli=
ne-around-the-globe
Lizabeth Paulat, Care2: Cracking any big story leaves journalists open to h=
arassment. Harassment is one thing, however, but jail and torture are quite=
another. Around the globe, journalists have been experiencing a direct cra=
ckdown on what they are allowed to write and where they are allowed to go.

The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: If you haven't heard of jur=
y nullification before, that's not all that surprising. The powers that be =

reat to the status quo.
Derailing the Dynasty Train
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/23961-derailing-the-dynasty-=
train
Chuck Collins, OtherWords: The first implication here in the United States =
of Piketty's work is for us to demand that Congress plug the holes undermin=
ing the US estate tax. Without timely action, we'll see the rich become dyn=
asties and everyone else robbed of opportunity.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/23963-mexico-and-monsanto-taking-precaution-=
in-the-face-of-genetic-contamination
Timothy A. Wise, Triple Crisis: To listen to the current debates over the c=
ontroversial requests by Monsanto and other biotech giants to grow genetica=
lly modified maize in Mexico, you'd think the danger to the country's rich =
biodiversity in maize was hypothetical. It is anything but.
