The Beginning of the End of the Cold War
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28122-the-beginning-of-the-end-of-the=
-cold-war
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: The Soviet Union may be gone, but the Cold W=
ar never really ended. By any measurable standard, the United States, its p=
eople, its politics and its profiteering ethos stand as a bent monument to =
that era, which never really ended, but only metastasized into the so-calle=
d war on terror.
Why There's No Ebola Vaccine
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28091-why-there-s-no-ebola-vaccine
Erica Etelson, Truthout: There is no vaccine for Ebola because our economic=
system puts virtually all decision-making in the hands of the private sect=
or. We do so knowing that for-profit companies exist to maximize profits. I=
t doesn't matter if they're selling medicine, gasoline, soda pop or credit =
default swaps.
The Vietnam War, the Two Lost Chances for Peace, the "Vietnam Syndrome" - Y=
et Now a Neocon Resurrection
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28034-the-vietnam-war-the-two-lost-chances-f=
or-peace-the-vietnam-syndrome-yet-now-a-neo-conservative-resurrection
John Pedler, Truthout: In this excerpt from his book, A Word Before Leaving=
, John Pedler discusses the Cold War mindset that persists in the United St=
ates, where "socialism" is still a dirty word. The laissez-faire capitalism=
upheld as the US political ideal during the conflict with the Soviet Union=
lives on, inhibiting efforts to reduce the widening gap between rich and p=
oor.
Darren Wilson Wasn't the First: A Short History of Killer Cops Let Off the =
Hook
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28120-darren-wilson-wasn-t-the-first-a-s=
hort-history-of-killer-cops-let-off-the-hook
Flint Taylor, In These Times: The United States has a long history of allow=
ing police to walk free after vicious, racist violence. Here is a brief his=
tory of high-profile cases where public outrage compelled the justice syste=
m to confront acts of racially motivated police violence =E2=80=93 with les=
s than satisfactory results.
Your Holiday Guide to Avoiding Slave Labor
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28121-your-holiday-guide-to-avoiding-slav=
e-labor
Jill Richardson, OtherWords: As we thoughtfully buy gifts for our loved one=
s in festive stores this season, it's hard to remember the people who make =
the products we buy. The easiest way to ensure the gifts were ethically pro=
duced is to buy locally.
The Invasion of Panama and the Proclamation of a Lone Superpower Above the =
Law
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28123-the-invasion-of-panama-and-the-proc=
lamation-of-a-lone-superpower-above-the-law
Matt Peppe, Just the Facts Blog: The US military aggression in Panama was c=
ondemned internationally, but the message was clear: The United States was =
free to do whatever it wanted, whenever it wanted, and it would not be boun=
d by ethics or laws.
Subsidy Spotlight: Publicly Funding a Utah Disaster in the Making
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28124-subsidy-spotlight-publicly-funding-a-u=
tah-disaster-in-the-making
Anna Simonton, Oil Change International: Oil and gas executives are flockin=
g to the Uinta Basin in eastern Utah, as new technologies - and support fro=
m the government - offer the dubious possibility of digging up the region's=
vast deposits of shale and tar sands oil.
Unbelievable: Telecoms Claim They're Worried About Your Bill!
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28125-unbelievable-telecoms-claim-they-re-wo=
rried-about-your-bill
Kevin Zeese, Popular Resistance: The telecoms remind us of the mafia: "If y=
ou reclassify the internet as a public utility, it's gonna cost you." It is=
time to stand up to these bullies. The internet community is strong enough=
to defeat them in any arena.
Who's Afraid of Shareholder Democracy?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28126-who-s-afraid-of-shareholder-democr=
acy
Ciara Torres-Spelliscy, Brennan Center for Justice: The US Chamber of Comme=
rce, one of the biggest corporate trade associations, and ALEC, one of bigg=
est corporate lobbying groups, are both startlingly hostile to shareholders=
, grumbling about them being too pushy.
Fallen Heroes of 2014
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28127-fallen-heroes-of-2014
Making Contact, National Radio Project: Hundreds of social justice advocate=
s and organizers passed away in 2014, leaving their work behind as their le=
gacy, but often also leaving an irreplaceable hole in their movements.
