Time for a Wall Street 'Perp Walk'?
Danny Schechter: After the savings-and-loan debacle of the 1980s and the Internet bust a decade ago, hundreds of financial culprits were "perp-walked" to jail. But the big bankers who tanked today's economy have escaped punishment, an omission that must change.

A movement that's here to stay
"With November 17 set as its next national day of action, the Occupy movement faces many challenges--but it has already defined a new era of resistance....The Occupy movement is less than two months old, but it has transformed U.S. politics and given vibrant form to the working class discontent hidden for years beneath the surface of society.

When Jesus ate the magic mushrooms
Mark Morford: "Once again, we find that magic mushrooms (AKA psilocybin), really are rather astonishing wonderfungi that, when used in moderation and with all due respect, can induce a potent, lasting sense of "openness," creativity and artistic curiosity in the otherwise stressed, compressed, far-too-depressed animal you see right there in the mirror.

Freedom Is Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose
"Crane-Station and I went scrappin' this Sunday morning. We pulled up and parked next to a longbox in a small neighborhood shopping center where several men were tearing down the interior of a former store, now shuttered. The longbox was almost full of ripped out drywall, heating and cooling ducts, and lots of metal, most of it buried. We were going to have to work hard to liberate it.

The Automobile: Promoting Racism and Inequality
Bianca Mugyenyi and Yves Engler: "The more cars in a community the worse it is for poor people, especially those in debt...As an important means for the wealthy to assert social dominance, the private car heightens cultural inequities and inequality is an increasingly recognized negative health determinant.

Rioters' use of social media throws telecoms firms into spotlight
Juliette Garside, The Observer, UK: "Perhaps the most interesting real-time information is on mass movement patterns. Networks have installed systems to detect crowds, in order to manage capacity. Phones signal where they are every 15 minutes, which means the gathering of a big crowd, or its direction and speed, can be rapidly pinpointed.

The Complexity of Mandela
Danny Schechter: "Nelson Mandela was one of the last century's great freedom fighters, taking on the evils of white supremacy in South Africa and defying the cold-hearted Realpolitik of Washington. But his triumph meant that the Western media would water down his radicalism and transform him into a less complex figure...

Deadly Mix: Hubris and Cowardice
"Admitting failure in Iraq and Afghanistan is anathema to Official Washington, especially to the still-influential neocons whose status depends on maintaining the illusion of "victory" or at least limited success, even at the cost of more blood and treasure. But Daniel N. White says only a frank acknowledgement of failure can free America from even worse calamities ahead.

Statement from Harlyn Geronimo
"And to call the operation to kill or capture Osama Bin Laden by the name Geronimo is such a subversion of history that it also defames a great human spirit and Native American leader. For Geronimo himself was the focus of precisely such an operation by the U.S. military...

John Sinclair: "Forty unrelenting years of this inhuman campaign founded in a passel of lies, untruths and severe misrepresentations has transformed our country from a flawed but still idealistic democracy to an ever-burgeoning police state with a gigantic, self-perpetuating, taxpayer-funded apparatus of persecution

We all helped suppress the Egyptians. So how do we change?
Johann Hari: "The discussion here in the West should focus on the factor we are responsible for and can influence - the role our governments have played in suppressing the Egyptian people. Your taxes have been used to arm, fund and fuel this dictatorship. You have unwittingly helped to keep these people down. The tear-gas canisters fired at pro-democracy protesters have "Made in America" stamped on them, with British machine guns and grenade launchers held in the background.
