A Community on Overdose

Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco, TomDispatch: ''During the two years Joe Sacco and I reported from the poorest pockets of the United States, areas that have been sacrificed before the altar of unfettered and unregulated capitalism, we found not only decayed and impoverished communities but shattered lives. There comes a moment when the pain and despair of constantly running into a huge wall, of realizing that there is no way out of poverty, crush human beings. Those who best managed to resist and bring some order to their lives almost always turned to religion and in that faith many found the power to resist and even rebel.''

Defense Companies Use Congress to Save Their Profits, No Matter What

Dina Rasor, Truthout: ''All the members of Congress will talk a good game when it comes to going after waste and fraud in the Pentagon in their campaign literature to look tough when the next overpriced weapon or spare part hits the press, but they are counting on the Pentagon contractors to keep them fat in campaign contributions and to make sure that the contractors have got the Congress' back.''

By Joseph Massad

The most important aspect of all American strategies in the region is open access to, and cheap prices of oil, as well as encouraging friction between the countries of the region, to justify the expenditure of their oil profits on US-made weapons.
