Mass Incarceration, the Presidential Race and the Politics of Respectability
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34121-mass-incarceration-the-presidential-race-and-the-politics-of-respectability
James Kilgore, Truthout: Mass incarceration has become a key political issue in the 2016 presidential race. While targeted organizing by activists has pressured some candidates to state their positions on the criminal legal system publicly, some organizers fear the draw of electoral and respectability politics, which could stifle a radical movement.
Capitalism - Not China - Is to Blame for the Current Global Economic Decline
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34095-capitalism-not-china-is-to-blame-for-the-current-global-economic-decline
Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: The cause of global economic decline is not China but rather the capitalist contradiction that could no longer be postponed by credit extension. Lower wages for workers allow capitalists to profit, until those workers no longer have disposable income to spend.
Donald Trump's Outbursts Are an Outgrowth of Anti-Muslim Policies
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34134-donald-trump-s-outbursts-are-a-result-of-anti-muslim-policies
Usaid Siddiqui, Truthout: Donald Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric did not simply manifest itself when the Republican presidential candidate announced he was running for office. The Bush and Obama administrations laid the grounds via their foreign policy for the discriminating proposals that Trump continues to champion.
Ailing, Angry Nuclear-Weapons Workers Fight for Compensation
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34128-ailing-angry-nuclear-weapons-workers-fight-for-compensation
Jim Morris and Jamie Smith Hopkins, The Center for Public Integrity: Paul Brogdon was a security guard at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, protecting stockpiles of bomb-grade uranium from would-be terrorists.

Biting the Hands That Feed: New York's Immigrant Farmworkers Face Appalling Treatment
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34130-biting-the-hands-that-feed-new-york-s-immigrant-farmworkers-face-appalling-treatment
Leanne Tory-Murphy, The Indypendent: In the post-9/11 climate of fear and increased funding for immigration enforcement, once-sleepy border towns have become sites of mass detentions. Some believe that immigration enforcement is focusing its efforts in these towns because of the sheer quantity of farmworkers.
Seymour Hersh: US Military Undermined Obama on Syria With Tacit Help to Assad
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34139-seymour-hersh-us-military-undermined-obama-on-syria-with-tacit-help-to-assad
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: A new report by Seymour Hersh says the Joint Chiefs of Staff have indirectly supported Bashar al-Assad in an effort to help him defeat jihadist groups. Hersh reports the Joint Chiefs sent intelligence on the understanding it would be transmitted to help Assad.
Whistleblower Speaks Out Against USDA, Corruption and Systemic Pesticides
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34137-whistleblower-speaks-out-against-usda-corruption-and-systemic-pesticides
Maryam Henein, HoneyColony: Dr. Jonathan Lundgren, an expert on the risk assessment of pesticides, worked for the US Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service for more than a decade. But when his findings on the ill effects of pesticides began to gain traction, the harassment did as well.
Kids' Questions on a Lockdown Planet: Thinking the Parentally Unthinkable
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34135-kids-questions-on-a-lockdown-planet-thinking-the-parentally-unthinkable
Frida Berrigan, TomDispatch: I just can't square my son's loving exuberance and confidence in the people around him with the sheer, teeth-hurting terror of children practicing lockdown drills, pretending to be stalked by an armed killer through the halls of their school. How, after all, do you practice for the unthinkable?
"The Struggle for Land Justice Knows No Borders": Corporate Pillaging in Haiti
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34136-the-struggle-for-land-justice-knows-no-borders-corporate-pillaging-in-haiti
Natalie Miller and Beverly Bell, Other Worlds: Since the earthquake in January 2010, Haiti has increasingly become a target of private business development by Haitian and foreign investors. But much of the new business is being executed on land that farmers' families have lived on for generations, leaving them without a livelihood.
The Corporate Takeover of the Red Cross
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34132-the-corporate-takeover-of-the-red-cross
Justin Elliott, ProPublica: When Gail McGovern was picked to head the American Red Cross in 2008, the organization was reeling. The charity was running an annual deficit of hundreds of millions of dollars. McGovern was hired to revitalize the charity, but has cut hundreds of chapters and thousands of employees.
Golden Misabiko on the Exploitation of Uranium in Congo
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34129-golden-misabiko-on-the-exploitation-of-uranium-in-congo
Gideon Gottfried, acTVism Munich: Human rights activist Golden Misabiko exposed a secret agreement between the Congolese government and French nuclear giant Areva in 2009. The agreement gave Areva permission to exploit uranium in all of Congo's territory. Misabiko was detained and only released due to international pressure.
