An imprisoned Vietnamese blogger was removed from jail and [ put straight on a plane to exile in the US ]( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/22/vietnam-blogger-jailed-for-posts-about-china-deported-us ) . Ironically, it seems the statements that he was jailed for were a nationalistic criticism of China, not a campaign for freedom.

US spy agency personnel can get away with perjury, destruction of evidence, torture, kidnaping and assassination.

TVs will be designed to [ monitor their users ]( http://www.computerworlduk.com/news/mobile-wireless/3581835/your-online-tv-watching-is-now-being-tracked-across-devices/ ) . This article uses the perverse concept of "consuming" video. That word enables the writer to demonstrate his sophistication in disregarding all aspects of a situation except the economics, and getting even that wrong.

[ More US cities are making it a crime ]( http://www.commondreams.org/news/2014/10/21/us-cities-criminalizing-sharing-food-homeless-report ) to give food to homeless people.

Of course, other right-wing policies have made sure there are no jobs for them and that jobs don't pay enough to rent a place to live.
