Read the Transcript and Listen to the Audio  Backing Banks Over Borrowers, California Judges Often Big Stakeholders in Same Banks Darwin BondGraham, Truthout: Why do individual borrowers so rarely win in cases against banks in spite of the evidence of massive frauds systematically perpetrated by banks? Is there a case for systemic judicial bias? Read the Article  Target Favelas: The Neoliberal Scramble for World Cup Wealth Dave Zirin, Haymarket Books: In this excerpt from Brazil's Dance With the Devil, Zirin describes the history of the poor Rio communities known as favelas, as targets of a real estate land grab.

Read the Article  "The Revolution Has Begun": How the Gun Industry Drives the Violent Rhetoric of the NRA Christian Exoo and Calvin F.

Just Wait Until Global Warming Really Kicks In The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: A report released on Tuesday by a bipartisan group of scientists and officials says global warming is going to make the weather so hot and humid over the next 80-plus years that going outside in the summer will be pretty much impossible.

Giroux, Truthout: As historical memory is erased, critical thought is crushed by a sterile instrumental rationality under the guise of mass information and a data storm. It is only a rebirth of historical memory that will enable a movement capable of reviving radical democratization. Read the Article  Laura Flanders | Kate Clinton and Urvashi Vaid: What Makes Revolutionaries Irresistible?

Read the Article  Follow the Money: How Finance Keeps the Whip Hand Beatrice Edwards, Berrett-Koehler Publishers: While the NSA argues that the biggest risk of terrorism is the possibility of a hack attack on our banking system by unspecified assailants, the mortal danger facing the financial services industry is the conduct of the industry itself. Read the Excerpt  What Is the Quality of Scientific Evidence Against Iran? Yousaf Butt, Arms Control Law: Achieving a nuclear deal is in everyone's favor. It will be made easier by rejecting any flawed or exaggerated evidence or analysis being used against Iran - especially by individuals or groups who have a track record of bias, exaggeration or erroneous scientific analysis. Read the Article  Could John McCain Be Responsible for the Next 9/11? The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: In today's real-life remake of "Charlie Wilson's War", John McCain is playing the role of Charlie Wilson and Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, the head of ISIS, is playing the role of Osama bin Laden. It's only a matter of time before this remake comes to a crashing, disastrous end.

Insurgency and War on a Sea of Oil Michael Schwartz, TomDispatch: Events in Iraq are headline news everywhere, and once again, there is no mention of the issue that underlies much of the violence: control of Iraqi oil.

Watch the Video and Read the Transcript  Working Women Demand More Than a Summit - They Want "Good Jobs" Kitty Lan, Campaign for America's Future: The half-mile separating the White House Summit and the working women's protest is symbolic of the distance between the United States' minimum wage workers and the elite middle-class thinkers and policy makers. Let us hope that the voices of these women will be heard.

Read the Article  Rania Khalek | Cities Fight Obama's Deportation Machine Rania Khalek, Truthout: "Secure Communities" was supposed to limit deportations to serious criminals, but the program has resulted in the arrest and detention of US citizens, "disappeared" immigrants, including political refugees, and deportations of people guilty of minor or no offenses. Communities are pushing back. Read the Article  Dean Baker | The Sharing Economy and the Mystery of the Mystery of Inequality Dean Baker, Truthout: To encourage efficiency, we would want a proper set of regulations and taxes and have them apply equally to everyone. The point is to encourage people to make profits by providing better products or lower cost services, not to get rich by finding clever ways to evade regulations. Read the Article  What Happened in Last Summer's Oil Train Disaster in Quebec That Killed 47 Roger Annis, Truthout: Details of the events surrounding the July 2013 derailment and explosion of an un-crewed runaway crude oil train in Lac Mégantic that killed 47 people certainly suggest that no plausible safety regulation can make these oil trains "safe." Read the Article  The GOP Is the Pro-Death Party The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: Despite pretty solid evidence showing that conservative policies drive up suicides, lawmakers like Bobby Jindal are just fine continuing to help big business and the wealthy elite, while screwing over everyone else.

Central banks have become some of the world's largest stock investors. Read the Article  How Inequality Shapes the American Family Lynn Stuart Parramore, AlterNet: We don't like to think that economic forces can shape the most intimate aspects of our lives.
