Keystone XL s Dirty Little Secret

Jim Hightower, OtherWords: ''What s the advantage of sending Canadian crude to refineries way down in Port Arthur, Texas? Aha, because it s a port! What the pushers of Keystone want to keep secret from you and me is that this oil will not be made into gasoline for our vehicles. Most of it will be refined into diesel and jet fuel and exported to Europe, China, and Latin America. The claim that the pipeline will reduce our reliance on OPEC is an outright lie.''

Join the Blockade of the Keystone Pipeline

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: The 1,700-mile proposed pipeline would run through six states and would mean game over for the climate, according to a scientist studying global warming.

Wall Street Confidence Trick

The Interest-Rate Swaps That Are Bankrupting Local Governments

Ellen Brown, Truthout: ''For more than a decade, banks and insurance companies convinced local governments, hospitals, universities and other nonprofits that interest-rate swaps would lower interest rates on bonds sold for public projects such as roads, bridges and schools. The swaps were entered into to insure against a rise in interest rates; but instead, interest rates fell to historically low levels.... The banks got in trouble, and the Federal Reserve and federal government rushed in to bail them out, rewarding them for their misdeeds at the expense of the taxpayers.''

A Seven-Day Plan to Finally Hold Wall Street Accountable

Bruce Judson, New Deal 2.0: ''Since the start of the financial crisis, federal and state officials have been struggling to change Wall Street behavior. To date, every effort has failed miserably, and the weak enforcement provisions of the robo-mortgage settlement are unlikely to meaningfully change this dynamic.... The greatest moral hazard now confronting the nation is what appears to be increasingly brazen criminal activity by financial industry executives. With each decision not to prosecute, Wall Street executives justifiably conclude that they are immune to the rules.''

Jason Leopold, Truthout: ''Did the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advise local law enforcement officials on how to respond to the nationwide Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protest movement and/or play a hands-on role in the dismantling of more than a dozen Occupy encampments last year? The answers to those lingering questions may be found in the first official release of government documents related to OWS since the launch of the movement last year. DHS turned over hundreds of pages of documents to Truthout Wednesday morning.''

Romney s Top Five Assaults on Women s Health

Annie-Rose Strasser, ThinkProgress: ''Of women under 50 years old, only 30 percent support Romney, while over 60 percent back the President.... Romney s record on women s health is hardly strong, and women voters, especially the young voters who tend to be pro-choice and pro-contraception, are likely responding to Romney s affront on these issues. But it hasn t always been this way.... Romney has moved significantly to the right on almost all women s health issues.''
