Deep Questions Arise Over Portland's Corporate Water Takeover
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28390-deep-questions-arise-over-portland-s-corporate-water-takeover
Victoria Collier, Truthout: A simmering water war is about to come to a boil over the fate of historic, well-loved public reservoirs in Portland, Oregon. At the heart of the controversy is a breakdown in public trust that reflects the dangers of corporate-led water privatization schemes.
Hope for Jobs, Prepare for Recession in 2015
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28400-hope-for-jobs-prepare-for-recession-in-2015
Salvatore Babones, Truthout: The economy is booming. So where are the jobs? The current expansion won't last forever, and we need at least 10 million new jobs before the next recession hits.
Exit Interview: Fear, the Sony Hack and the War on Terror
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28399-exit-interview-fear-the-sony-hack-and-the-war-on-terror
Kay Whitlock and Michael Bronski, Truthout: The use of The Interview and Sony hack drama to push the US Senate's torture report off mass media's front pages, promote the war on terror and obscure US involvement in political assassination and destabilization of other governments was a classic example of misdirection.
Ten Questions for Conservatives
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28402-ten-questions-for-conservatives
Lawrence S. Wittner, History News Network: Increasingly, modern US conservatism resembles a giant wrecking ball, powered by hate-spewing demagogues to undermine or destroy long-cherished institutions.
Intervention in the Islamic State Increasingly Messy
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28373-intervention-in-the-islamic-state-increasingly-messy
Richard Sale, Truthout: Experts say old rivals in areas overrun by the Islamic State use religion as a cover for their territorial ambitions. Hatred between Shiites and Sunnis has thus become a fixed and dominating factor in Iraq's communal life, and today it produces endless internal chaos in Syria and Iraq.
Let's Call All Terrorists "Terrorists"
URL
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: Would people be as willing to call the Paris attack "terrorism" if the suspects involved were white or members of a right-wing hate group? Probably not.
With One Small Tax, the US Could Insure the Next Generation a Brighter Future
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28407-with-one-small-tax-america-could-insure-the-next-generation-a-brighter-future
Ronald M. Glassman and Gerald E. Scorse, Los Angeles Times: Congress could pass a financial transaction tax and dedicate the proceeds to providing equal opportunity for college, in a show of dedication to equal access to education and opportunity.
Los Angeles Imports Nearly 85 Percent of Its Water - Can It Change That by Gathering Rain?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28405-la-imports-nearly-85-percent-of-its-water-can-it-change-that-by-gathering-rain
Madeline Ostrander, YES! Magazine: The urban drainage ways of Los Angeles can never quite look like wild creeks, but restoring some of their capacity to store, slow and filter water fixes many problems at once.
Lessons on the Struggle for Health Care as a Human Right
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28404-lessons-on-the-struggle-for-health-care-as-a-human-right
Margaret Flowers, Popular Resistance: After years of working toward universal health care using the framework of human rights, the people of Vermont were spurned. This turn of events provides an important lens for examining what happened in the advocacy for health reform and what must be done now.
Holder and Obama Never Miss an Opportunity to Miss an Opportunity Versus the Banksters
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28409-holder-and-obama-never-miss-an-opportunity-to-miss-an-opportunity-versus-the-banksters
William K. Black, New Economic Perspectives: In finance, because of the deliberate destruction of effective financial regulation, our only means of bringing light to the dark places where the elites "doeth evil" is whistleblowers.
What's the Bag Deal?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28382-what-s-the-bag-deal
Eugene Cordero, Green Ninja: This first episode of "The Green Ninja," a fun and educational video series about environmentalism, reviews the question, "What's the best bag - paper or plastic?"
Take Roots Action!
Jeffrey Sterling is set to go on trial for espionage this month. He is accused of blowing the whistle on the CIA, which gave nuclear weapon blueprints to Iran. Blowing the whistle on government recklessness is a public service, not a crime.
Please support this CIA whistleblower!
