Climate Change Not Mentioned In Presidential Debates For First Time In A Generation
History was made at the third and final presidential debate at Lynn University on Monday night. President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, sparred over American policy in Libya and Iran. They traded generalities on trade with China and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and made brief mentions of renewable technology and "energy independence."
A Mixed Message for National Security Whistleblowers
The White House recently released a presidentialdirective extending legal protections to intelligence community employees who expose government fraud, waste, or abuse. Advocates for greater transparency and accountability in government applauded the move. But some observers noted a seeming discrepancy between the directive and the administration's aggressive record of prosecuting leaks within the intelligence community. Has the Obama administration turned over a new leaf when it comes to national security whistleblowers?
Remember when Obama was antiwar?
Barack Obama and Mitt Romney held the last of their candidates' debates Monday night, and the foreign policy focus provided an opportunity for what the New York Times called a "role reversal." Romney did his best to act like the moderate and responsible world leader, while Obama came off sounding "like a Republican hard-liner," the Timesreported. This from the man whose first steps toward the White House in the 2008 election came as the most prominent Democratic contender to oppose George W. Bush's Iraq War.

Six largest pesticide corporations funding effort to try to defeat GMO labeling Proposition 37
In what should probably surprise no one who has been following the Proposition 37 issue, a California proposal that would require the ingredients in all GM foods to be labeled, the so-called "Big 6" pesticide corporations have become the movement's main opponents.
Wage Slavery Is On The March
Attention all Americans who believe we had abolished slavery in the 19th
century. A form of slavery as old as society itself is surfacing right here in
what is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. It
appears to be neither. With the Walker win in Wisconsin and the Kasich win
in Ohio, let it be known that the 1 percent has now taken firm control of the
99 percent. Workers in those two states have just sold themselves and others
into "wage slavery." They have gone down on their knees to beg the 1
percent for permission to further enrich the already obscenely rich.

US Presidential debate: America’s national insecurity
What would a real national security look like? This debate on foreign policy never really took place last night. For starters, we would protect human rights and civil liberties, here and abroad. The gradual evisceration of our civil liberties makes America less safe, not more secure, says Ruth Rosen
