Donald Goldmacher, Heist - The Movie: "'Heist: Who Stole the American Dream?' is a feature documentary that investigates the roots of the current economic crisis and the continuing assault on working people in the United States. 'Heist' reveals who created the slide that has left the middle class reeling, exposing how corporate leaders worked with elected politicians of both major parties to create the largest transfer of wealth in history. Heist posits that a fair economy requires that those responsible for the crisis be held accountable; rigorous reforms must be enacted into law.''

A History of the World, BRIC by BRIC

Pepe Escobar, TomDispatch: ''However, BRICS cohesion, to the extent it exists, centers mostly around shared frustration with the Masters of the Universe-style financial speculation that nearly sent the global economy off a cliff in 2008. True, the BRICS crew also has a notable convergence of policy and opinion when it comes to embattled Iran, an Arab Sprung Middle East, and Northern Africa. Still, for the moment the key problem they face is this: they don t have an ideological or institutional alternative to neo-liberalism and the lordship of global finance.''

Mike FCC Requires TV Stations to Put Political Ad Files Online, Truthout

''The House passed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) in a surprise vote late Thursday despite a veto threat from the White House and opposition from civil liberties groups that say the bill undermines existing privacy law and would allow private companies to spy on American citizens. 'Cybersecurity does not have to mean abdication of Americans' online privacy,' said ACLU legislative counsel Michelle Richardson. 'As we've seen repeatedly, once the government gets expansive national security authorities, there s no going back.''
