Michael Corcoran and Stephen Maher, Truthout: ''This May Day brought the explosive global resurgence of Occupy, one of the most significant social movement in decades. In New York City, the heart of global capitalism and center of the movement, the New York Civil Liberties Union estimated that 30,000 demonstrators took part in a massive rally and march down Broadway, led by a score of city taxicabs. As has become alarmingly common for a country that constantly proclaims its zealous devotion to democracy, the day ended with brutal police violence and arrests.''

The History of the US Economy in Decline

Noam Chomsky, TomDispatch: ''The Occupy movement has been an extremely exciting development. Unprecedented, in fact. There s never been anything like it that I can think of. If the bonds and associations it has established can be sustained through a long, dark period ahead, because victory won t come quickly, it could prove a significant moment in American history.''

Violence, USA: An Interview With Henry A. Giroux

Michael Slate and Henry A. Giroux, The Michael Slate Show: ''... [T]he United States is not only obsessed with military values shaping foreign policy, but war and militarism have become a mediating force that begins to seep into almost every aspect of daily life. That is we see war and its dynamics of cruelty and punishment seeping into a whole range of institutions.... [W]e see schools as being modeled increasingly after prisons. We see police forces being paramilitarized. We see popular culture endlessly celebrating the spectacle of violence, and so it goes.''

Activists Win Preliminary Injunction Blocking Enforcement of NDAA s Military Detention Provision

Jason Leopold, Truthout: ''Seven journalists and activists who sued President Barack Obama earlier this year over the controversial indefinite detention provision in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) were handed a surprise victory Wednesday by a federal court judge who issued a preliminary injunction blocking its enforcement. Congress may go a step further. An amendment to the 2013 NDAA introduced by Reps. Adam Smith (D-Washington) and Justin Amash (R-Michigan) would eliminate the provision in the bill that authorizes indefinite military detention without trial for those captured in the US.''

Kucinich: NDAA Authorizes War Against Iran

Congressman Dennis Kucinich, The Office of Dennis Kucinich: ''This week, Congress is considering two pieces of legislation relating to Iran. The first undermines a diplomatic solution with Iran and lowers the bar for war. The former Chief of Staff of Secretary of State Colin Powell has stated that this resolution 'reads like the same sheet of music that got us into the Iraq war.' The second authorizes a war of choice against Iran and begins military preparations for it. A plain reading of these provisions in H.R. 4310 taken together with H.R. 568 makes it clear: Congress is setting the stage for war with Iran.''
