Menschensuchmaschine des Polizeistaats. Auf EU-Ebene wird an einem vernetzten Überwachungssystem geforscht. Die Bundesregierung weiß von nichts

?Eine Datenbank soll künftig alle modernen Überwachungstechnologien vereinen. Die Forschung im Auftrag der Europäischen Union, an der eine deutsche Hochschule beteiligt ist, läuft unter strenger Geheimhaltung. Auch die Bundesregierung blockt??

INDECT, das europäische Totalüberwachungs-Programm, noch nicht vom "Radar der Öffentlichkeit" erfasst

Der innenpolitische Sprecher der FDP im Europaparlament kritisiert das Forschungsprojekt unter EU-Flagge, das in einem Mitgliedsstaat "so nicht durchsetzbar gewesen wäre".

Assange Lawyer: Rape Allegations a "Stitch Up"

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's lawyer tells CBS News that rape and sexual molestation allegations against his client in Sweden are a "stitch up," and the Swedish prosecutor's failure to provide him with documentation on the claims, or any evidence, makes it impossible to begin crafting a legal response.

Leaks and leakers

AntiWar.Com

12/09/10

Contrary to the message emanating from the chattering media, WikiLeaks has embarrassed many but it has neither killed nor endangered anyone. Washington?s relationships with most foreign nations are based on mutual interests and they will continue in spite of concerns expressed by Hillary Clinton and others. And the positive far outweighs any potential negatives...

Exportnation 'D' als Lohndrücker

Das 'Modell Deutschland' geht gestärkt aus der Krise: Grund zum Feiern?

Artikel von Christoph Scherrer vom 6. Dezember 2010 in der DGB-Gegenblende http://www.gegenblende.de/06-2010/++co++313a6f94-0144-11e0-4231-001ec9b03e44

Aus dem Text: 'Der Kern des 'Modell Deutschland', die enge Kooperation zwischen Kapital, Arbeit und Staat zugunsten der Exportwirtschaft, wurde in der Krise gestärkt. Der Erfolg dieses korporatistischen Krisenmanagements könnte jedoch zum Untergang des Modells beitragen, und zwar indem seine Exporterfolge die Industrien der europäischen Nachbarn verdrängt, da diese sich im Zeitalter des Euros nicht mehr durch Währungsabwertungen schützen können. (?) Aus einer postkeynesianischen Perspektive ist diese merkantilistische Strategie dauerhafter Handelsbilanzüberschüsse eine Art, sich auf Kosten der Nachbarn zu bereichern. Sie zielt darauf ab, das eigene Wachstum und Beschäftigungsniveau auf Kosten anderer Länder zu erhöhen. Und aufgrund dessen, dass dauerhafte Defizite nur durch Schuldenaufnahme im Ausland finanziert werden können, kann eine solche merkantilistische Politik andere Länder in die Zahlungsunfähigkeit treiben. Zudem dämpft sie global die Nachfrage und begünstigt wirtschaftliche und politische Instabilität. Letztlich sind die von Deutschland ausgehenden deflationären Tendenzen und die Zahlungsbilanzprobleme und/oder Haushaltsdefizite der anderen Länder zwei Seiten derselben Medaille'.'

"So lange die europäischen Regierungen sich nicht auf ein schlüssiges Konzept zur Bekämpfung der Euro-Krise einigen können, regieren in Europa die Banken und Finanzmärkte und nicht die gewählten Regierungen", sagte Detlev von Larcher vom bundesweiten Attac-Koordinierungskreis.'
