Millions Against Monsanto: The Food Fight of Our Lives

Ronnie Cummins, AlterNet: ''For nearly two decades, Monsanto and corporate agribusiness have exercised near-dictatorial control over American agriculture, aided and abetted by indentured politicians and regulatory agencies, supermarket chains, giant food processors, and the so-called 'natural' products industry. Finally, public opinion around the biotech industry s contamination of our food supply and destruction of our environment has reached the tipping point. We are fighting back.''

Vermont Senate Resolves to Abolish ''Corporate Personhood''

David Swanson, War Is A Crime: ''The Vermont State Senate voted today calling for an amendment to the Constitution that would make clear that corporations are not people and money is not speech and can be regulated in political campaigns. The vote was 26-3. State Senator Virginia Lyons spearheaded the effort, working with Move to Amend in 2011 to introduce a resolution that came back this year.''

GOP Presidential Contenders' Goofy Greed

Jim Hightower, Creators Syndicate: ''But who needs actual voters to be a presidential player these days? Gingrich s entire campaign consists of six men: Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito, Kennedy, Scalia and Thomas of the Supreme Court, and Sheldon Adelson of the Sands Casino empire in Las Vegas. The five Supremes are the ones who unleashed the plague of democracy-destroying corporate cash on our elections, and Adelson is the multibillionaire Republican extremist who has taken rich advantage of the Court s 2010 ruling and foisted Newt upon us.''

Oligarchy in the U.S.A.

The Wealth Defense Industry Protects the Richest of the Rich.

By Jeffrey A. Winters

Mitt Romney, who in 2010 paid 13.9 percent of his $21.6 million income in taxes that year, the same tax rate as an individual who earned a mere $8,500 to $34,500.

The Rich Are Different From You and Me: They Pay Fewer Taxes

Michael Winship and Bill Moyers, Truthout: ''So, what do these big moneyed nabobs have to complain about? Why are they whining about reform? And why are they funneling cash to super PACs aimed at bringing down Barack Obama, who many of them supported four years ago? Because, writes Alec MacGillis in The New Republic the president wants to raise their taxes. That s right, while ordinary Americans are taxed at a top rate of 35 percent on their income, Congress allows hedge fund and private equity tycoons to pay only 15 percent of their compensation.''

The Oligarchy s Rule of Law: From Russia to Oklahoma

Mark Ames, The Daily Banter: ''At the end of the 1990s, the unprecedented collapse of Russia s economy and its capital markets, the wholesale looting, the quiet extermination of millions of Russians from the shock and destitution, the terrible consequences of imposing radical libertarian free-market ideas on an alien culture, turned out worse than any worst-case-scenario imagined by the free-market true-believers.... Publicly-traded companies have been and can be transformed into elaborate schemes to loot and steal from the public and enrich a tiny handful of oligarchs.''

War on Iran: America s Next Catastrophe in the Middle East?

Emanuel Stoakes, Truthout: ''Little has been said about how a war with Iran, at present seemingly urged into near outbreak by Binyamin Netanyahu and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), could be averted, with the Islamic Republic s nuclear program completely halted in 2003. We can thank the architects of the Iraq war for rejecting this wasted opportunity ... Also underreported have been statements made by former senior figures at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) alleging 'pro-western bias, over-reliance on unverified intelligence' at the organization.''
