http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28406-russia-blamed-us-taxpayers-on-the-=
hook-as-fracking-boom-collapses
Ben Ptashnik, Truthout: As Congress removes restrictions on taxpayers baili=
ng out the too-big-to-fail banks, the right is blaming environmentalists an=
d Russia for the demise of the fracking boom. In reality, the banks' junk b=
onds and derivatives have flooded Wall Street, and now the fracking bubble =
threatens another financial crisis.

FCC Chairman Wheeler Moves Toward Strong Net Neutrality Rules
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28445-fcc-chairman-wheeler-moves-toward-=
strong-net-neutrality-rules
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: Consumer groups and internet freedom activists are c=
autiously celebrating FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler's hint that he would support=
 reclassifying the internet and protecting net neutrality - the idea that a=
ll internet content should be treated equally

Galt and God: The Courtship Between Ayn Randians and Right-Wing Christians
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/28424-galt-and-god-the-courtship-betw=
een-ayn-randians-and-right-wing-christians
James Sanford, Truthout: An odd collaboration between Ayn Rand disciples an=
d Christian rightists, based on a mutual attraction for aggressive free ent=
erprise, is on the upswing. The relationship seems to signal further cohesi=
on and ideological extremism on the Tea Party right.

US Policy on Cuba: From Regime Change to Systemic Change
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28413-us-policy-on-cuba-from-regime-chang=
e-to-systemic-change
Cliff DuRand, Truthout: Regardless of other changes in US policy on Cuba, P=
resident Obama still thinks the United States has the right to shape the fu=
ture of its neighbor and will work toward reinforcing a petty bourgeoisie t=
hat will bring Cuba back into the capitalist fold.

Moving Beyond Politics to Accountability on US Torture Program
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28425-moving-beyond-politics-to-accountab=
ility-on-us-torture-program
Sahar Aziz, Truthout: Will the United States do what it demands of other na=
tions and hold its own government officials accountable for torture, or wil=
l it parrot authoritarian regimes as it invokes national security as a blan=
ket excuse for crimes against humanity?

Why Protest Won't Get the NYPD What It Wants
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28428-why-protest-won-t-get-the-nypd-what=
-it-wants
Kate Aronoff, Waging Nonviolence: The NYPD's "slowdown strike" has unwittin=
gly placed the police in an awkward position: With arrest rates plummeting =
and no significant harm done to public safety, the department may soon find=
 itself having disproven the value of Broken Windows policing polices that =
civilian protesters have been calling for an end to all along.

Obamacare Counselor: "On the Surface, People Have Choices. But It's a Compl=
ete Farce"
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28383-obamacare-counselor-on-the-surface-=
people-have-choices-but-it-s-a-complete-farce
Rebecca Burns, In These Times: "The [Affordable Care Act] took the health-c=
are system, which is messed up already, and then it added an application an=
d an online shopping system on top of it, and then more layers of tax law a=
nd immigration law on top of that. It didn't actually make the health syste=
m itself better," says one health-care application counselor.

Carbon Counterattack: How Big Oil Is Responding to the Anti-Carbon Movement
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28426-carbon-counterattack-how-big-oil-i=
s-responding-to-the-anti-carbon-movement
Michael T. Klare, TomDispatch: While climate denialism still figures in the=
 propaganda of some carbon companies, they have now largely chosen to embra=
ce another strategy - extolling the benefits of fossil fuels and highlighti=
ng their contributions to human well-being and progress.

The Republican Strategy to Repeal Dodd-Frank
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28433-the-republican-strategy-to-repeal-dodd=

Simon Johnson, The Baseline Scenario: Republicans will chip away along all =
possible dimensions, using a combination of legislation and pressure on reg=
ulators - with the ultimate goal of relaxing the restrictions that have bee=
n placed on the activities of very large banks.

Obama Should Not Prop Up Mexico's Corrupt President
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28429-obama-should-not-prop-up-mexico-s-c=
orrupt-president
Laura Carlsen, CIP Americas Program: Mexican president Pe=C3=B1a Nieto pres=
ides over a nation of impunity, where 98.3 percent of crimes go unpunished.=
 The justice system has gotten worse, not better, under attempts at reform =
that have been heavily funded by the US government.

Tilting at Turbines
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28431-tilting-at-turbines
Emily Schwartz Greco, OtherWords: While renewable energy remains vulnerable=
 to volatility as governments phase subsidies in and out, it's poised for m=
assive growth, and Wall Street will eventually accept renewable power's ful=
l potential.
