Bundy's Oregon Occupation Is Capitalist at Its Core
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34333-bundy-s-occupation-in-oregon-is=
-capitalist-at-its-core
Zach Schwartz-Weinstein, Truthout: To understand Ammon Bundy's occupation o=
f the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge visitor's center in Oregon, look at =
the longer history of Indigenous dispossession, cattle ranching and nature =
preservation in the Western United States. Bundy and his supporters are att=
empting to enclose public land - again.
Ryan, Cruz, Trump and Tarp Man: The New Conservative Truth
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34335-ryan-cruz-trump-and-tarp-man-th=
e-new-conservative-truth
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: House Speaker Paul Ryan knew the effort to r=
epeal Obamacare was doomed before he dropped the gavel on it, but he pushed=
it anyway, because he is as frightened of the right-wing monster his party=
created as his predecessor was. This is not merely theater. This is farce.
A Primer on the Damaging Movement to Privatize Public Schools
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34340-a-primer-on-the-damaging-moveme=
nt-to-privatize-public-schools
Marion Brady, The Washington Post: When corporate interests began their eff=
ort to privatize public education, you wouldn't have heard about it. They d=
idn't want to trigger a debate. But if you've supported that campaign, you'=
ve been snookered. Here's an overview of the snookering process.
Obama Never Had a Plan to End What Guant=C3=A1namo Represents
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34338-obama-never-had-a-plan-to-end-w=
hat-guantanamo-represents
Charles Davis, teleSUR: Seven years of indefinite detention and extrajudici=
al killings around the globe belie the president's once-claimed intent to c=
hange the system he inherited. All along, Obama never truly planned to clos=
e Guant=C3=A1namo; he merely wanted to move it.
Drugging Animals on Factory Farms - Enough Already
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34341-drugging-animals-on-factory-far=
ms-enough-already
Katherine Paul, Organic Consumers Association: It's easy to see why Big Pha=
rma would push pills on humans. But a drug company that makes animal drugs,=
purchased not by consumers but by factory farms, advertising directly to c=
onsumers who will never actually purchase those drugs? How does that make s=
ense?
Resistance and Outrage as Obama Administration Rounds Up Central American R=
efugees
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34343-resistance-and-outrage-as-obama-ad=
ministration-rounds-up-central-american-refugees
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: The new year began inauspiciously for many imm=
igrant families. Federal agents have detained at least 121 people, includin=
g children, in raids as part of an operation to deport families fleeing vio=
lence in Central America. The raids took place mainly in Georgia, North Car=
olina and Texas.
Michael Moore Is Right: Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder Has to Go
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34332-michael-moore-is-right-michigan=
-gov-rick-snyder-has-to-go
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: On Tuesday, Governor Snyder=
declared a state of emergency for Genesee County amid the ongoing lead con=
tamination crisis in Flint, Michigan. But the blame lies squarely on Snyder=
's shoulders, and because he knows that, he should probably be held account=
able for it.
Supreme Court Redistricting Case Is New Front in Voting Wars
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34337-supreme-court-redistricting-case-i=
s-new-front-in-voting-wars
Victoria Bassetti, Brennan Center for Justice: New year, time to add a new =
word to the dysfunction lexicon: disrepresented. For the last decade, it's =
been all about disenfranchisement via voter ID and other vote suppression t=
ools. But after last year's Supreme Court revisit of the "one person, one v=
ote" principle, disrepresentation is trending.
Saudi Arabia Is Receiving Weapons From the Same Nations Condemning Its Huma=
n Rights Record
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34336-saudi-arabia-is-receiving-weapons-=
from-the-same-nations-condemning-its-human-rights-record
Lizabeth Paulat, Care2: With one breath, countries in the West such as Cana=
da, the UK and the US condemn Saudi Arabia's mass executions, floggings and=
indiscriminate bombing of Yemen. Then, hoping nobody is looking, they stuf=
f their pocketbooks while sending tanks, artillery and fighter jets to the =
kingdom.
Employment-to-Population Ratio Rises to Highest Level of Recovery
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34347-employment-to-population-ratio-ris=
es-to-highest-level-of-recovery
Dean Baker, Center for Economic and Policy Research: The US Labor Departmen=
t reported that the economy added 292,000 jobs in December. There were also=
upward revisions to job growth for the prior two months, bringing the thre=
e-month average to 284,000. The growth was widely spread across industries.
Real or Not, North Korea's "H-Bomb" Is Part of a Well-Planned Agenda
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34339-real-or-not-north-korea-s-h-bomb-i=
s-part-of-a-well-planned-agenda
Robert Winstanley-Chesters, The Conversation: The world is still grappling =
with the diplomatic fallout from North Korea's H-bomb test, and the technic=
al plausibility of the claim is already being called into question. But wha=
tever the truth is behind this rather shocking announcement, it fits very n=
eatly into North Korea's political agenda.
Economic Update: What Capitalism Is
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34334-economic-update-what-capitalism-is
Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: This episode provides updates on an "Obamacare =
scandal," bank errors threatening depositors, public pension looting and su=
bsidizing religion. We also have major discussions about the old and new me=
anings of capitalism as an economic system.
