Danny Weil, Truthout: How is it that the non-profit Adelson Clinic for Drug Abuse Treatment and Research, specializing in sliding-scale fees and methadone treatment for opiate addiction, was the fourth-largest campaign contributor to rightwing PACs, political parties and outside spending groups in the US in 2012?

If Right-Wing Violence is Up 400%, Why is the FBI Targeting Environmentalists?

Will Potter, Green Is the New Red: The FBI has been either grossly miscalculating, or intentionally downplaying, murders and violent attacks by right-wing extremists while exaggerating the threat posed by animal rights activists and environmentalists, who have only destroyed property.

Sheldon Adelson: Crony capitalist

The American Spectator
by Joshua Shnayer

11/18/13

Sheldon Adelson, the wealthy casino mogul and political donor, doesn t have a leg to stand on if he plans to fight against online gambling. The Washington Post reports that Adelson intends to roll out a state-by-state campaign to ban Internet betting services, ostensibly because such websites are 'a danger to children, the poor and others who could be exploited by easy access to Internet betting.' What s not clear is how Adelson?s own casino empire doesn t pose such a danger. The Justice Department and numerous states, including Chris Christie s New Jersey, are moving ahead on easing restrictions or altogether legalizing Internet gambling. That s not to say that gaming and betting will be a libertarian dream come true, the services will be subject to voluminous regulations. But if Sheldon Adelson had his way, they wouldn t exist at all...

An Interview With Henry A. Giroux

C.J. Polychroniou, Truthout: In the aftermath of a public and tragic mass shooting, statistics alone do not explain the spectacle of mass violence in America.

Hate Crimes in America (and Elsewhere)

Rebecca Solnit, TomDispatch: ''We have an abundance of rape and violence against women in this country and on this earth, though it s almost never treated as a civil rights or human rights issue, or a crisis, or even a pattern. Violence doesn t have a race, a class, a religion, or a nationality, but it does have a gender.''

Are the Armed Forces a Rape Culture?

John LaForge, Counterpunch: The problem of unreported and unprosecuted sexual assaults in the military is notorious. Tens of thousands of victims keep quiet out of fear of retribution by superior officers and a distrust of the military court system.

The Invisible War

Video

A female U.S. soldier in a combat zone is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. In fact, The Department of Defense estimates that in 2010 alone, there were more than 19,000 violent sex crimes in the U.S. military.

Military sex assault reports jump by 50 percent

The number of reported sexual assaults across the military shot up by more than 50 percent this year, an increase that defense officials say may suggest that victims are becoming more willing to come forward after a tumultuous year of scandals that shined a spotlight on the crimes and put pressure on the military to take aggressive action.

The martyrdom of Aaron Swartz

The Libertarian Standard
by Brian Martinez

01/16/14

A little over a year ago, a 26-year-old programmer and activist was murdered. His name was Aaron Swartz, and although he was found hanged in his Brooklyn apartment, and his death ruled a suicide, there is little question whose hands are stained with his blood. He was pursued mercilessly by a bullying prosecutor with a long track record of ruining the lives of brilliant (and perhaps naive) young men who didn t play by the state s rules. And he was betrayed by an educational institution that once prided itself on not playing by the rules, either...
