The Racist Killing Fields in the US: The Death of Sandra Bland
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31945-the-racist-killing-fields-in-the-us-the-death-of-sandra-bland
Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: Sandra Bland's death over a routine traffic stop is indicative of a country where extreme violence is the norm. Terrorism, torture and state violence are no longer simply part of our history; they have become the nervous system of an increasingly authoritarian state.
Truthout Interviews Max Blumenthal About the 51-Day Israeli Assault on Gaza
http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/31937-truthout-interviews-max-blumenthal-about-the-51-day-israeli-assault-on-gaza
Mark Karlin, Truthout: Max Blumenthal, author of The 51 Day War: Ruin and Resistance in Gaza, says his work to expose the anti-democratic trends in Israel and the radical direction of the pro-Israel lobby is in many ways just an extension of his work on right-wing movements in the US.
They Who Have Eyes to See
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31944-they-who-have-eyes-to-see
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "I have new glasses, and old eyes. I see, and have seen. I think there is nothing so foul on the skin of this dear Earth than wasted potential and missed chances, of opportunities misspent on spending, or a single life lived in vain. Ours is a future quite completely broader than my new eyes can capably encompass."
Barter Networks: Lessons From Argentina for Greece
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31949-barter-networks-lessons-from-argentina-for-greece
Marina Sitrin, teleSur English: Following its 2001 financial crisis, millions of people in Argentina survived by exchanging what they already had, could do or could make. Perhaps Greece can not only show the way with alternative means of exchange within Greece, but initiate a global network of exchange outside the formal capitalist economy.
Gangs of the State: Police and the Hierarchy of Violence
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31950-gangs-of-the-state-police-and-the-hierarchy-of-violence
Frank Castro, The Hampton Institute: Police not there to "keep the peace," but rather to maintain at all times the explicit reminder of the United States' power hierarchy through the brutalization of Black and Brown bodies above all others.
Welcome to Fairmead, California, Where You Have to Walk a Mile for a Sip of Water
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31947-welcome-to-fairmead-california-where-you-have-to-walk-a-mile-for-a-sip-of-water
Sasha Abramsky, The Nation: Residents of Fairmead, California, spend tens or even hundreds of dollars each month on drinking water, and many dollars more on gas to drive their cars out of town to someplace where the water quality is better, so that they can fill up large containers to meet their basic needs.
The Keralan Cowboy, Kerala, India
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31851-the-keralan-cowboy-kerala-india
Staff, The Source Project: The Keralan Cowboy is a film about the importance of biodiversity and about questioning the economically-driven government policies that have profound effects on our society and environment.
The Revolving Door: Greasing the Wheels of the TTIP Lobby
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31946-the-revolving-door-greasing-the-wheels-of-the-ttip-lobby
Vicky Cann, Corporate Europe Observatory: The prospective EU-US trade deal TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) could be the world's biggest such treaty. The revolving door between the public and private sectors is helping to grease the wheels of the TTIP corporate lobby.
Pushing for the Dismantling of Anti-Climate, Pro-War Economies
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31952-pushing-for-the-dismantling-of-anti-climate-pro-war-economies
Kathy Kelly, teleSur English: Climate change does not merely promise poverty and despair on an unprecedented scale, but also war - on a scale, and with weapons, that may be far worse than dangers resulting from our energy choices. Earth's military crisis, its climate crisis and the paralyzing economic inequalities that burden impoverished people are linked.
The Battle to Breathe: Chile's Toxic Threat
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31948-the-battle-to-breathe-chile-s-toxic-threat
Brianne Berry, Council on Hemispheric Affairs: As an industrial revolution booms in Chile, the country's air has been flooded by toxic emissions. High airborne pollution levels have been linked to both cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Pollution can also exacerbate existing medical issues.
Lighting a Legal Fuse
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31951-lighting-a-legal-fuse
Emily Schwartz Greco, OtherWords: Slashing climate pollution may take something new - like suing governments for failing to shield their constituents from a climate catastrophe and prosecuting the oil, gas and coal industries for this mess. That's exactly what's happening: People from Seattle to Fiji are filing lawsuits over global warming.
A Festival of Seeds, UK
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31852-a-festival-of-seeds-uk
Staff, The Source Project: Seed Matters is a film that features some of most progressive voices in the UK's movement against corporate food plutocracy. The interviews in the film help people understand the reality of what's really happening to the world's food and farming systems, and why.
This week in Speakout: Dan Bacher examines how the mainstream media and most "alternative" media refuse to discuss the root cause of the Santa Barbara oil spill; Shamus Cooke makes the case for why unions must act now to survive a Supreme Court deathblow; war critic and veteran Ross Caputi looks at how US policy is aiding and abetting another attack on Fallujah, Iraq; Ann Wright reflects on how some US and South Korean government officials have their knives out for any group daring to challenge the status quo on the Korean peninsula; Kate McBride analyzes the inevitable rise of vulture capitalists amid skyrocketing debt levels; Lainey Hashorva offers reasons why you should move your money from Wells Fargo bank; and more.
