http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/24705-william-rivers-pitt-iraq-two-bullet=
s-and-the-long-arc-of-history
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: One hundred years ago, Archduke Franz Ferdin=
and was assassinated in Sarajevo. The archduke was struck by two bullets an=
d died within minutes. Those two bullets in Sarajevo unleashed 100 years of=
carnage. Some facile lies from a few US politicians may well have unleashe=
d another 100 years of the same.
Dahr Jamail: What's Happening in Iraq Is the Legacy of the US Invasion and =
Occupation
http://truth-out.org/news/item/24709-dahr-jamail-whats-happening-in-iraq-is=

Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola, Dispatches From the Underclass: In this in=

rate Sector
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/24710-noam-chomsky-whose-security-how=
-washington-protects-itself-and-the-corporate-sector
Noam Chomsky, TomDispatch: There is a "standard version," common to governm=
ent pronouncements and public discourse, holding that the prime commitment =
of governments is to ensure security, and that the primary concern of the U=
S since 1945 was the Russian threat. But one obvious question to ask is: Wh=
at happened when the Russian threat disappeared in 1989?
In Banking World, Fraud Is an Epidemic
http://truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/24431-banks-systemic-corruption-=
and-governments-conflict-of-interest
Beatrice Edwards, Berrett-Koehler Publishers: Faced with systemic fraud in =
the financial and non-financial institutions that it regulates, the Treasur=
y Department will discourage the Justice Department from prosecuting banks.=
If cases of corruption and fraud had been marginal or isolated, they could=
have been addressed and corrected, but this was not an isolated occurrence=
.
Piketty's New Class
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/24651-pikettys-new-class
Charles Derber, Truthout: Thomas Piketty's "Capital in the Twenty-First Cen=
tury" could ignite a new political conversation on the intertwining of cast=
e and class, creating new kinds of movements against today's inheritance-ba=
sed "Gilded Age."
The Giant Methane Monster Lurking
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/24722-the-giant-methane-monster-lurking
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: There's something lurking d=
eep under the frozen Arctic Ocean, and if it gets released, it could spell =
disaster for our planet. That something is methane. Methane is one of the s=
trongest of the natural greenhouse gases, about 80 times more potent than c=
arbon dioxide.

g
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/24721-cutting-off-sex-work-advertisin=
g-sites-disrupts-communities-not-trafficking
Alana Massey, Truthout: Shutting down advertising sites used by sex workers=
silences peer-to-peer harm reduction channels that help sex workers in the=
absence of formal services and does little to address trafficking.
Gustavo Esteva With Brad Evans | Violence and Hope in Chiapas: Pedagogies b=
y the Globally Oppressed
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/24626-pedagogies-by-the-globally-oppress=
ed
Brad Evans, Truthout: The Zapatista "struggle is our struggle, everywhere, =
in every city, in every country of the world. We are in a very difficult mo=

Will Supremes Apply Cell Phone Privacy to Metadata Collection?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/24699-will-supremes-apply-cell-phone-pri=
vacy-to-metadata-collection
Marjorie Cohn, JURIST: If the court is consistent in its analysis, it will =
determine that the collection by the government of all of our electronic re=
cords implicates the same privacy concerns as the inspection of the data on=
our cell phones. It remains to be seen if and when the metadata collection=
issue will come before the court.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Supreme Court Eliminates President's Power =
to Make Recess Appointments, and More
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/24720-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-sup=
reme-court-eliminates-presidents-power-to-make-recess-appointments-and-more
In today's On the News segment: The Supreme Court virtually eliminates the =

ing stuck in poverty is not simply the result of "character flaws"; Califor=
nia lawmakers want to get money out of politics; and more.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/24706-mexico-rape-victims-face-prison-ti=

he bustling neighborhood of Tepito, one of the most dangerous areas of Mexi=
co City.
A Climate of Extra Credit
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/24712-a-climate-of-extra-credit
Jill Richardson, OtherWords: Researchers now credit Brazil with reducing it=
s carbon emissions more than any other country by cutting the rate of Amazo=
n deforestation by an impressive 70 percent. But how valid is that praise? =
After all, is it really fair to consider not cutting down big swathes of ra=
inforest as a positive action?

Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: The SEC, Supreme Court, White House and=
