		<title>Calling All Rebels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From TruthDig
By Chris Hedges
There are no constraints left to halt America’s slide into a totalitarian capitalism. Electoral politics are a sham. The media have been debased and defanged by corporate owners. The working class has been impoverished and is now being plunged into profound despair. The legal system has been corrupted to serve corporate interests. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Frustration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From True Blue Liberal
By RLR
Hello to all of those that follow TBL.  I&#8217;ve been struggling to keep the news flowing to the site.  It&#8217;s hard to highlight any one area of concern over another when everything is coming apart.  We all wanted change but we only got more campaigning.  This isn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Globalization Is Killing The Globe: Return to Local Economies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From The Smirking Chimp
By Thom Hartmann
Globalization is killing Europe, just as it&#8217;s already wiped out much of the American middle class.
Spain and Greece are facing immediate crises that many other European nations see on the near horizon: aging boomer workers are retiring with healthy benefit packages, but the younger workers who are paying for those [...]]]></description>

		<title>The New American Century</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Information Clearing House
&#8220;In the White House, they weren&#8217;t thinking of 9/11 as an attack, but as a gift!&#8221; &#8211; Robert Steele, former CIA agent
The film looks for the reasons behind the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, whose unfolding is described in chilling detail in a document called &#8220;Project for the New American Century&#8221;, published in [...]]]></description>

		<title>The 700 Military Bases of Afghanistan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Tom Dispatch
By Nick Turse
    In the nineteenth century, it was a fort used by British forces.  In the twentieth century, Soviet troops moved into the crumbling facilities.  In December 2009, at this site in the Shinwar district of Afghanistan’s Nangarhar Province, U.S. troops joined members of the Afghan National [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clueless</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From The NY Times
By Paul Krugman
I’m with Simon Johnson here: how is it possible, at this late date, for Obama to be this clueless?
The lead story on Bloomberg right now contains excerpts from an interview with Business Week which tells us:
    President Barack Obama said he doesn’t “begrudge” the $17 million bonus [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Dangers of Sarah Palin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From The Progressive 
By Matthew Rothschild
I’m not writing her off. No matter how many gaffes she makes, no matter what she writes on her palm, she is not going away.
In fact, she may very well be the Republican nominee in 2012, and if the economy hasn’t recovered by then, there’s an outside chance she could [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remembering Howard Zinn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From The Progressive
By Elizabeth DiNovella
I am deeply saddened by the news of the death of Howard Zinn. He was a longtime columnist for The Progressive, and his most recent piece, “The Nobel’s Feeble Gesture,” expressed his dismay about President Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize.
Here’s an excerpt:
“I think some progressives have forgotten the history of [...]]]></description>
