Three Minutes to Midnight: Can We Turn the Clock Back in Time?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28951-three-minutes-to-midnight-can-we-tu=
rn-the-clock-back-in-time=20
Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi, Truthout: With atomic scientists' "Doomsday Clock" two =
minutes closer to midnight, and a report from the National Climatic Data Ce=
nter confirming that 2014 was the hottest year on record, Congress is tryin=
g to move us closer to ecocide. Reversing course will require urgent, conce=
rted action.
Medium and Movement: Todd Wolfson on the Digital Rebellion
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28954-medium-and-movement-todd-wolfson-o=
n-the-digital-rebellion=20
Peter Handel, Truthout: Rutgers media studies professor Todd Wolfson talks =
about his new book Digital Rebellion: The Birth of the Cyber Left, which ch=
ronicles the genesis of the "indymedia" movement in Chiapas, Mexico, in 199=
4 and its 1999 birth at the WTO protests.
"Operation Streamline": The New Prison Boom
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28987-operation-streamline-the-new-prison-bo=
om=20
Leticia Cortez, El BeiSMan: "Operation Streamline" is a law that makes jail=
time mandatory for people convicted of illegal entry or re-entry into the =
United States. As long as Operation Streamline continues to make billions f=
or the prison industrial complex, the politicians they control will continu=
e passing laws to criminalize immigration.
The World's Email Encryption Software Relies on One Guy
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28986-the-world-s-email-encryption-softw=
are-relies-on-one-guy=20
Julia Angwin, ProPublica: Werner Koch, the man who built the free email enc=
ryption software used by whistleblower Edward Snowden and hundreds of thous=
ands of others, wrote the software known as Gnu Privacy Guard in 1997, and =
since then has been almost single-handedly keeping it alive.
A Tax Cut for Tax Cheats
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28988-a-tax-cut-for-tax-cheats=20
Bob Lord, OtherWords: Critics attack the IRS for making mistakes, darkening=
the public's view of it. That gives political opportunists a chance to lob=
by successfully for cuts. A smaller budget virtually guarantees future mist=
akes by a cash-strapped agency. It's a vicious cycle.
At $8.9 Million, Oil Industry Is Top Spender on Lobbying in California in 2=
014
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28989-oil-industry-is-top-spender-on-lobbyin=
g-in-california-in-2014=20
Dan Bacher, Indybay: The oil industry is the most powerful corporate lobby =
in California, overshadowing corporate agribusiness, the high tech industry=
, the movie industry, insurance companies and other special interests in th=
e money and influence that it wields in state politics.
Another Legislative Year, Another Round of Awful Bills
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/28990-another-legislative-year-another-ro=
und-of-awful-bills=20
Robin Marty, Care2: The last GOP-dominated election brought us a legislativ=
e session filled with massive abortion restrictions, voter ID and voting re=
strictions, union busting and lots and lots of proposed private school vouc=
hers. This time, things could get even worse.
Analysis: Last Tango for Nuclear Power?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/28991-analysis-last-tango-for-nuclear-power=
=20
Peter Dykstra, Environmental Health News and The Daily Climate: New nuclear=
plants in the US are falling behind schedule and soaring over budget, maki=
ng an already-jittery Wall Street even more skeptical. Additionally, the de=
mise of Yucca Mountain means there's nowhere for the industry to permanentl=
y store its waste.=20
Rumors of the Walker Probe's Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/28992-rumors-of-the-walker-probe-s-death=
-have-been-greatly-exaggerated=20
Brendan Fischer, PR Watch: The Walker probe is not dead. The future of the =
investigation - and with it, Wisconsin campaign finance law - now rests wit=
h the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Although the state's highest court has its o=
wn conflicts of interest in the case, the Walker investigation is far from =
resolved.=20
This week in Speakout: David Krause highlights how the San Francisco Unifie=
d School District has partnered with the Hamilton Family Center to help at =
least 75 homeless families find housing this school year; Pat Elder looks a=
t the issue of student privacy in conjunction with military recruiting; Dav=
id Swanson's foreword to Gary Brumbeck's new book, America's Oldest Profess=
ions: Warring and Spying considers how we developed the idea of war as a pr=
eferred method to settle political differences; Maya Schenwar writes to the=
students of Village Leadership Academy, who are opening up our visions of =
what abolition looks like; David Cupples urges us to embrace Bob Marley's "=
One Love" revolution 34 years after Marley's passing; Victor Grossman medit=
ates on the soft fascist PEGIDA movement and the horror of Edgar Allen Poe;=
Winslow Myers offers a solution to the paradox of deterrence: compassion; =
Lawrence Davidson analyzes the Boehner-Netanyahu cabal; and more.
