Understanding the Iraq sanctions

Campaign For Liberty Campaign For Liberty

Between the Gulf War and the Iraq War, the United States enforced a comprehensive sanctions policy against the Iraqi people, under the auspices of the United Nations. Whereas the hot conflict of 1990 and the one that has run from March 2003 to this day have occupied American attention, the sanctions, beginning even before Operation Desert Storm and persisting until Shock and Awe, implemented by three presidential administrations, were largely ignored...

Deutsche Zustände: Unruhige Zeiten

Presseinformation zur Präsentation der Langzeituntersuchung ?Gruppenbezogene Menschenfeindlichkeit? am 03.12.2010 von und beim Institut für interdisziplinäre Konflikt- und Gewaltforschung (IKG) an der Uni Bielefeld (pdf) http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/ikg/Pressehandout_GMF_2010.pdf darin befindet sich die Zusammenfassung der Ergebnisse der Studie von Wilhelm Heitmeyer. Siehe dazu:


"Rohe Bürgerlichkeit und soziale Vereisung"

?Seit 2002 untersuchen Wissenschaftler in einer Langzeitstudie die Ausmaße, Entwicklungen und Ursachen von Vorurteilen in Deutschland. Aktuell haben die Forscher die Folgen der Wirtschaftskrise unter die Lupe genommen - und dabei eine "deutliche Vereisung des sozialen Klimas", rohe Bürgerlichkeit und einen zunehmenden Klassenkampf von oben beobachtet. Die Feindbilder in einer durchweg wirtschaftlich geprägten Gesellschaft seien Muslime und "wirtschaftlich Nutzlose"? Kommentar von Patrick Gensing bei tagesschau.de vom 03.12.2010 http://www.tagesschau.de/redirectid.jsp?id=deutschezustaende100


Gedankenspiele. Die Studie des Soziologen Wilhelm Heitmeyer über ?Deutsche Zustände? sollte uns schockieren. Sie zeigt ein feindseliges, verrohtes Bürgertum.

?Ein Gedankenspiel aus unschönem Anlass: Ich stelle mir vor, ein Raunen ginge durch die Republik. Viele Menschen in diesem Land wären beunruhigt, mehr noch, erschrocken. Sie diskutierten leidenschaftlich die Ergebnisse der ?Deutschen Zustände?. In der neuen Auflage dieser umfassenden Langzeitstudie kommen renommierte Bielefelder Wissenschaftler um den Soziologen Wilhelm Heitmeyer zu dem Schluss, dass das deutsche Bürgertum verroht. Vor allem Besserverdienende blickten zunehmend feindselig, gar aggressiv auf sozial Schwache und auf Muslime?? Kolumne von Ferdos Forudastan in der FR vom 7.12.2010 http://www.fr-online.de/politik/meinung/gedankenspiele/-/1472602/4903162/-/index.html

Aus dem Text: ?? Hätte die Studie ?Deutsche Zustände? nur einen Bruchteil dieses Hypes ausgelöst, wäre das ein ermutigendes Zeichen. Man könnte daraus schließen, dass Aufmerksamkeit nicht nur erfährt, wer Krawall auf Kosten von Minderheiten schlägt. Man könnte daran ablesen, dass eine wachsame Öffentlichkeit weiß, wie gefährlich es für den inneren Frieden ist, wenn auch Teile der Mitte und der Eliten sich radikalisieren. Man wäre sehr zuversichtlich, dass dieses Land keinen deutschen Jörg Haider oder Geert Wilders hervorbringt ? nicht jetzt und nicht künftig. Aber auch das ist: ein Gedankenspiel aus unschönem Anlass??

Nadia Prupis, Truthout: "New evidence has surfaced that the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) may have endorsed on-campus proselytizing by fundamentalist and evangelical organizations, particularly the Cadets for Christ ministry. The Baas family, whose daughter Lauren was converted after entering the school to become a pilot, has been fighting with watchdog group Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) for the USAFA to address the accusations against the academy and Cadets for Christ. The Baas family has alleged that the ministry, which was given free rein by the USAFA to operate on campus, convinced Lauren to abandon her career aspirations and focus solely on an arranged, subservient marriage."

The "Family": Who Really Is Behind This Secret Organization?

Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: "Jesus plus nothing' is the mantra of the Fellowship, also known as the Family, a secret, fundamentalist Christian organization peopled primarily by devout policy makers and high-ranking individuals. Though the nonbeliever's view of religion can often be dismissive when faced with such catchphrases, in 'C Street,' a nonfiction account of the extended reach of the Family, these phrases fuel moral crusades with real, and terrifying, impact.... In his latest book, Sharlet traces the powerful orthodoxy's chilling influence on governments both inside and outside of the United States as well as the devastating effects of fundamentalism within the military."

It has been years since the Constitution has had any meaningful impact on what is done in Washington. True, no one challenges the structural provisions -- there are a hundred senators, presidential elections are held every four years, etc. And there are lots of court battles over application of the Bill of Rights, largely because it protects some liberties favored by the Left. But most congressmen pay little, if any, attention to their authority under the Constitution before they pass legislation...

Die weltweiten CO2-Emmissionen der Landwirtschaft belaufen sich jährlich auf über 16 Milliarden Tonnen ? das entspricht, vom Anbau auf dem Acker über die Düngung der Weiden bis hin zu Importfuttermitteln, 32 Prozent der global vom Menschen verursachten Klimagase. Ein Großteil der Treibhausgase entsteht dabei durch die Haltung und Versorgung von Nutztieren. Um diese Zahlen deutlich zu reduzieren, setzt das Industrieunternehmen Evonik beim Tierfutter auf den Zusatz von künstlichen Aminosäuren. Diese sind die Grundlage für die körpereigene Produktion von Proteinen und damit, gerade in den Wachstumsphasen eines Tieres, überlebenswichtig.

Bradley Manning, the 22-year-old U.S. Army Private accused of leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks, has never been convicted of that crime, nor of any other crime. Despite that, he has been detained at the U.S. Marine brig in Quantico, Virginia for five months -- and for two months before that in a military jail in Kuwait -- under conditions that constitute cruel and inhumane treatment and, by the standards of many nations, even torture. Interviews with several people directly familiar with the conditions of Manning's detention, ultimately including a Quantico brig official (Lt. Brian Villiard) who confirmed much of what they conveyed, establishes that the accused leaker is subjected to detention conditions likely to create long-term psychological injuries. In sum, Manning has been subjected for many months without pause to inhumane, personality-erasing, soul-destroying, insanity-inducing conditions of isolation similar to those perfected at America's Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado: all without so much as having been convicted of anything. And as is true of many prisoners subjected to warped treatment of this sort, the brig's medical personnel now administer regular doses of anti-depressants to Manning to prevent his brain from snapping from the effects of this isolation. Bradley Manning is a whistleblower in the purest and most noble form.

Julian Assange is not Wikileaks; in other words, whether you regard him as a hero, villain, victim or egotistical malcontent, Wikileaks itself remains difficult to characterize. If it can be blamed for deterring diplomacy, derided for titillating us with diplomatic gossip, or dispensed with faint praise (by activist and writer Todd Gitlin) as the ?Facebook of whistleblowing?, it can also be heralded for providing additional proof (if any were needed) of the gross hypocrisies and moral cowardice of the post-9/11 American security state...

Zu Guttenberg Wiederholungstäter bei Missachtung des Parlaments

Der Vorsitzende der LINKEN, Klaus Ernst, übt Kritik an Verteidigungsminister zu Guttenberg wegen dessen Entscheidung, vor einer Aufklärung personelle Konsequenzen aus den Vorgängen auf dem Segelschiff Gorch Fock zu ziehen. Der Verteidigungsminister ist nach Ansicht des LINKEN-Vorsitzenden seinen Informationspflichten gegenüber dem Parlament nicht in vollem Umfang nachgekommen. Ernst hält als Konsequenz auch eine eingehendere parlamentarische Untersuchung im Bundestag für möglich. Er erklärt:

Zu Guttenberg fehlt ein grundlegender Begriff von den Regeln einer Parlamentsarmee. Von ihm wurde kein personelles Bauernopfer gefordert sondern rückhaltlose Aufklärung. Das war keine nette Bitte sondern eine Erinnerung an seine Amtspflichten als Minister. Die richtige Reihenfolge wäre gewesen: Informieren, Beraten, Beurteilen und dann Entscheiden. Anstatt dem Parlament sofort alle Informationen zur Verfügung zu stellen, zieht zu Guttenberg selbstherrlich und völlig unvermittelt personelle Konsequenzen und findet am Abend nebenbei noch ein paar abfällige Worte über den Berliner Politikbetrieb. Das ist nicht der richtige Stil für einen Verteidigungsminister sondern Politik nach Gutsherrenart. Zu Guttenberg ist ein Wiederholungstäter in Sachen Missachtung des Parlaments. Wenn jetzt nicht sofort alle Fakten auf den Tisch kommen, dann muss im Bundestag ernsthaft darüber nachgedacht werden, ob die Vorfälle in der Bundeswehr nicht eingehender untersucht werden müssen.
