Christian Parenti on the State, Humanity as Part of Nature and the Malleability of Capitalism
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30756-christian-parenti-on-the-state-humanity-as-part-of-nature-and-the-malleability-of-capitalism
Vincent Emanuele, Truthout: Author, journalist and professor Christian Parenti speaks with Truthout about the history of right-wing, anti-statist attitudes in the United States, applying Marxism to ecology and how human society has and can be a positive force to protect the environment and biodiversity.
William Rivers Pitt | The Trojan Horse President
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30815-the-trojan-horse-president
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: Why is President Obama - in his final years in office - stapling himself to such a divisive and damaging initiative as the Trans-Pacific Partnership? Is he what many of us have feared he is for a while now: a Trojan Horse president, presented at the gates as a progressive gift?
Activists and Faith Leaders Push Back on Fake Reproductive Health Clinics
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30787-activists-and-faith-leaders-push-back-on-fake-reproductive-health-clinics
Katie Klabusich, Truthout: The unprecedented wave of state-level anti-abortion restrictions introduced this year is being met by a growing number of bills that would regulate crisis pregnancy centers - storefronts masquerading as reproductive health clinics - often funded by anti-choice religious organizations.
How US Working Women Are Being Run Over
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/30778-how-us-working-women-are-being-run-over
Caroline Fredrickson, The New Press: "Our workplace laws threw women of color under the bus from the beginning, but we will all get run over if we don't reinvent our system to get everyone on board," the author writes in this excerpt from Under the Bus.
Honor the Vietnamese, Not Those Who Killed Them
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30822-honor-the-vietnamese-not-those-who-killed-them
Michael D. Yates, Monthly Review: Great damage was done to US soldiers, and those who survived still suffer the agony of that long ago war. However, these pale by comparison to the brutality suffered by the Vietnamese, a violence still very much alive in the daily lives of the people in that much tried nation.
Torture, Lies and Denial
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30823-torture-lies-and-denial
Kay Whitlock, Critical Mass Progress: Even those of us who think of ourselves as good (and in many respects, may actually do good things) are also capable of great violence - by our own actions or by permitting others to serve, without critical and enforceable oversight and accountability, as our proxies.
New Rules on Oil Trains Draw Flak From Firefighters, Too
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30827-new-rules-on-oil-trains-draw-flak-from-firefighters-too
Curtis Tate, McClatchy Newspapers: According to a 2010 survey by the National Fire Protection Association, 65 percent of fire departments involved in responding to hazardous materials incidents still have no formal training in that area. While no first responders have been injured in the oil train derailments in the past year and a half, they've faced many challenges.
Wisconsin's Grocery Dictators
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30825-wisconsin-s-grocery-dictators
Jill Richardson, OtherWords: In Wisconsin, conservative lawmakers just introduced a bill to dramatically restrict what people can buy with their own food stamps. The last thing food stamp recipients need is a handful of rich politicians telling them what they can and can't eat.
Dave Zirin | Why Are We Paying the NFL to Help the Pentagon Recruit Troops?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30824-why-are-we-paying-the-nfl-to-help-the-pentagon-recruit-troops
Dave Zirin, The Nation: From 2011 to 2014, the Department of Defense gave $5.4 million to 14 NFL teams to stage "Salute the Troops" events, as well as do product placement, advertising and subliminal mentions. These events were politically transparent propaganda for a flagging war effort, and they were paid for by us.
Don't Grade Justice on a Warped Curve: Assessing the Case of Jeffrey Sterling
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30826-don-t-grade-justice-on-a-warped-curve-assessing-the-case-of-jeffrey-sterling
Norman Solomon, Norman Solomon's Blog: Imagine that you did nothing wrong. And now you're headed to prison, for three years. Since the prosecution wanted you behind bars for a lot longer than that, should we figure you got a "light" sentence? People should not be punished for public service.
This week in Speakout: Moms United Against Violence and Incarceration write letters in solidarity to Shanesha Taylor; Dan Bacher examines the huge conflict of interest in a Big Oil lobbyist's oversight of marine protected areas in California; Frank Clemente points out that the recently passed congressional budget plan fails to raise revenues from the wealthy and corporations; Rev. John Dear reflects on how media reports on the uprising in Baltimore demonstrate a complete misunderstanding and widespread hypocrisy about nonviolence; Brennan Center for Justice staff highlight how TV ad bookings are nearing $1.5 million in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court primary; Jesse Hagopian looks at how resistance to high-stakes testing serves the cause of equity in education; Apek Mulay notes that it's become clear to most that even after eight years of money printing and huge budget deficits, the global economy is still stagnating; and more.
