The Libyan War, American Power and the Decline of the Petrodollar System

Peter Dale Scott, Japan Focus: 'The present NATO campaign against Gaddafi in Libya has given rise to great confusion, both among those waging this ineffective campaign, and among those observing it... My own take on this war, on the other hand, is that it is both ill-conceived and dangerous - a threat to the interests of Libyans, Americans, the Middle East and conceivably the entire world. Beneath the professed concern about the safety of Libyan civilians lies a deeper concern that is barely acknowledged: the West s defense of the present global petrodollar economy, now in decline.'

BA-Vize Heinrich Alt: Hartz IV Regelsatz auf Dauer 'menschenunwürdig'

Wer kann wirklich von dem Hartz IV Regelsatz leben? Der Vize-Chef der Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Heinrich Alt, meint in einem Interview mit dem Tagesspiegel 'nur Lebenskünstler'. Auf eine längere Sicht hin betrachtet seien die Eckregelsätze in Höhe von 364 Euro im Monat 'menschenunwürdig'. Lesen Sie weiter:

Warmwasser als 'Mehrbedarfe zum Lebensunterhalt für kostenaufwändige Ernährung in angemessener Höhe 8 Euro'

Ab dem 01. Januar 2011 werden auch die Kosten der Warmwasserbereitung bei Hartz IV berücksichtigt, die bislang bei der Ermittlung des Existenzminimums 'übersehen' worden sind. Da das auch diesmal erst auf Vorhaltungen seitens der Erwerbsloseninitiativen 'aufgefallen' ist, ist der Betrag wieder nicht im ALG II Regelbedarf enthalten, sondern wird jetzt den Heizkosten zugerechnet (bei zentralem Warmwasserbezug) oder als 'Mehrbedarf' zugewiesen (bei eigener Warmwassererzeugung). Für Singles sind acht Euro monatlich festgelegt ? das ist mehr als die groteske Erhöhung des Hartz IV Regelsatzes von fünf Euro monatlich. Weiter lesen:

Verwirrung über Hartz IV-Bescheide: Fehlerhafte Datierung führt zu Verwirrung und möglicherweise negativen Rechtsfolgen

Zum 01. Januar 2011 wurde (rückwirkend) der Harz IV- Eckregelsatz um fünf Euro erhöht. Zug um Zug müssen die Bescheide nun rückwirkend geändert werden. Dabei zeigen sich wieder die Schwächen der Software A2LL ('Arbeitslosengeld II ? Leistung zum Lebensunterhalt') der Bundesagentur für Arbeit: bundesweit tragen die Bescheide das Ausstelldatum '26.03.2011'. Zugestellt werden die Bescheide aber erst Wochen später, zum Teil noch in diesen Tagen nach Ostern. Damit wäre die Frist für einen möglicherweise notwendigen Widerspruch (ein Monat) bereits abgelaufen. Weiter lesen:

Empirische Studie zur Höhe einer sozialen Mindestsicherung 2011

Die aktuelle Erhöhung des Hartz-IV-Regelsatzes um 5 Euro ist eine Farce. Sie erfüllt weder das vom Bundesverfassungsgericht geforderte Transparenz- noch das Bedarfsgerechtigkeitskriterium. In Fortführung der Anfang Februar 2010 veröffentlichten Untersuchung 'Was der Mensch braucht' hat Lutz Hausstein eine erneute empirische Untersuchung zu einer realitätsgerechten Hartz IV Regelsatzhöhe durchgeführt.

FDP Politiker will Eltern bestrafen, wenn sie keine Bildungspaket-Anträge stellen

Ein besonders schlimmer und hetzerischer Vorschlag in Sachen Bildungspaket kommt mal wieder von Seiten der FDP. Der Berliner FDP Vorsitzende Christoph Meyer fordert angesichts der geringen Resonanz bei der Beantragung der Teilhabe Leistungen für Kinder aus Hartz IV Familien scharfe Sanktionen gegen Eltern, die keine Bildungsgutscheine für ihre Kinder beantragen.

Das Jobcenter Bochum übt Staatsanwaltschaft

Eine Zeitung mit großen Buchstaben und den noch größeren Bildern meldete vor Ostern sichtlich entsetzt, dass die Arbeitsagenturen im vergangenen Jahr häufig Strafen verhängen mussten. So sei zum Beispiel der arbeitslose M. aus Hamburg zu einem Gespräch ins Jobcenter beordert worden, aber ohne Entschuldigung ferngeblieben; ihm habe man Hartz IV für drei Monate komplett streichen müssen.

Hartz-IV-Schande: Was die BILD verschweigt

Am Osterwochenende veröffentlichte die Zeitung mit den vier großen Buchstaben einen Artikel mit der Überschrift: 'Hartz-IV-Schande: 'So dreist sind Stütze-Empfäner' und stellte fünf vermeintliche Hartz IV Bezieher vor, die durch das Jobcenter angeblich sanktioniert wurden. Wir haben uns die Darstellungen der Zeitung genauer angeschaut und zeigen auf, dass vermutlich alle dargelegten Fälle erlogen sind, um Arbeitslosengeld II Beziehende zu diskriminieren. Weiter lesen:

Swing-State Ohio at Heart of Union Rights Battle

Paul West, The Los Angeles Times: 'In this chapter of the national struggle between unions and a new wave of GOP governors, most of the passion now is with organized labor, battered by an industrial shakeout that slashed its Ohio ranks by more than one-third in recent decades. Those losses would have been more severe were it not for the strength of public employee unions, which now represent a majority of unionized workers. Statewide polls show that voters would roll back the new law if the election were held today. But even those who think Republicans face an uphill fight expect it to be close. The governor, in an interview, expressed confidence that attitudes will shift once his side s media drive cranks up.'

Guantanamo Detainees Stage Hunger Strike to Protest Confinement Conditions

Jason Leopold, Truthout: 'Within the past month, more than 15 Guantanamo detainees protested an indefinite detention order signed by President Barack Obama in March that resulted in their relocation to another camp at the prison facility - where they said the conditions are worse - by staging a hunger strike, Truthout has learned. Two detainees involved in the hunger strike have lost about 25 pounds, according to their attorneys. Tanya Bradsher, a Department of Defense (DoD) spokeswoman, confirmed detainees staged a hunger strike, but she put the number at 'less than ten.'

Who is the real reactionary?

CounterPunch
by Charles Davis
04/28/11

Ron Paul is far from perfect, but I'll say this much for the Texas congressman: He has never authorized a drone strike in Pakistan. He has never authorized the killing of dozens of women and children in Yemen. He hasn't protected torturers from prosecution and he hasn't overseen the torturous treatment of a 23-year-old young man for the 'crime' of revealing the government's criminal behavior. Can the same be said for Barack Obama?

Who does Obama want to be when he grows up?

The American Prospect
by Jamelle Bouie

04/28/11

Obama clearly envisions himself as a two-term president in Reagan s mold, and wants his tenure to be as central to liberals as Reagan s was to conservatives. But, as much as the president might like to compare himself to Reagan, he should be mindful of a slightly more recent Republican president: George H.W. Bush...

The Ron Paul Revolution continues

by Seth King

04/27/11

Ron Paul s success will not come in the form of winning an election. His message has been, and always will be, directed towards the remnant. And the truth is that we are the remnant. We are the ones who are going to have to pick up the pieces after society self-destructs. And if you have made it this far you know that the next system we build will not be predicated on coercion. It will be built on voluntarism...

Yemen: Is US Aid Suppressing Another Mideast Freedom Struggle?

Nick Turse, TomDispatch: 'Last December, 26-year-old Tunisian fruit-seller Mohammed Bouazizi set himself on fire in front of a local municipal office, touching off popular protests that continue to sweep across the Middle East and North Africa. By the end of January 2011, the country s US-backed dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali had fled and demonstrations, which would eventually also topple corrupt autocrat and long-time US ally Hosni Mubarak, had broken out in Egypt. In Yemen, as is the case elsewhere in the region, anger at government corruption, rampant poverty (40% of all Yemenis live on less than $2 a day), high unemployment (also running at 40%), and decades of harsh rule by an authoritarian strongman brought tens of thousands into the streets.'

Arrogance and Authority

Simon Johnson, Project Syndicate: 'The real cost of the crisis is not measured by the profit and loss statement of any central bank - or by whether or not the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), run by the Treasury Department, made or lost money on its various activities. The cost is eight million jobs in the US alone, with employment falling 6% from its peak and - in a major departure from other post-1945 recessions - remaining 5% below that peak today, 31 months after the crisis broke in earnest. The cost is also the increase in net federal government debt held by the private sector - the most accurate measure of true government indebtedness.'

The budget mess: A crisis in legitimacy

Future of Freedom Foundation Future of Freedom Foundation
by Sheldon Richman

04/26/11

Reality has finally caught up with the ruling elite, and its members inside and outside government are in a panic. They have freely spent the taxpayers? money for generations building a corporatist warfare-welfare state, and when that wasn?t enough to finance their projects, they borrowed just as freely. For a long while it paid off handsomely in power and wealth, but now even they realize things can?t go on as they have for so long...

Krieg gegen Gewerkschaften

'Während die ganze Welt gebannt nach Lybien, Syrien, Tunesien, Ägypten und andere Länder schaut, wo sich das Volk seine demokratischen Rechte zurückzuholen versucht, erleben wir in den USA den umgekehrten Vorgang. Ein gut orchestriertes Netz ultrakonservativer Machtgieriger versucht, Gewerkschaften und andere Institutionen, mit denen Bürger ihre Rechte verteidigen, per Gesetz zu beschneiden oder ganz zu eliminieren (siehe unten). In einigen Bundesstaaten ist das schon weitgehend gelungen. In mehreren Bundesstaaten tobt derweil ein heftiger Kampf, der nicht mit klassischen Waffen, sondern mit politischen Kampagnen und aggressiver Gesetzgebungen ausgeführt wird. Da viele einfache Bürger in den USA schon jetzt durch ein merkwürdiges Wahlrecht weitgehend von der politischen Willensbildung ausgeschlossen sind und die Medien immer mehr unter der Kontrolle großer Konzerne stehen, haben die antidemokratischen Kräfte oft leichtes Spiel. Sie treffen damit gleichzeitig den politischen Gegner, die Demokratische Partei der USA, die auf die Wahlkampfgelder der Gewerkschaften angewiesen ist. Derweil läuft sich der Milliardär Donald Trump ('Trump-Tower') als Kandidat der Republikaner für den Präsidentschaftswahlkampf in zwei Jahren warm. Trump, der ungefähr so häufig bankrott wie verheiratet war, hat nur ein politisches Thema: Obama sei nicht in den USA geboren. In seiner eigenen Fernsehshow preist er den Kapitalismus und verhöhnt Arbeitslose. [P.S. Wer es kann, sollte Mother Jones abonnieren oder mit Spenden unterstützen. Sie ist einige der wenigen unabhängigen, investigativen Medien in den USA.]" Eine Mail an die Redaktion des LabourNet Germany vom 26. April 2011

Von Wisconsin lernen: Jane Slaughter über ägyptische Verhältnisse in den USA

Wisconsin war der Bundesstaat in den USA, der hiesigen Sozialstaatsreformern als Vorbild diente: Ganze Delegationen von Politikern fuhren nach Wisconsin, um sich bei den dortigen »Workfare«-Programmen Anregungen für hiesige Arbeitsmarktreformen zu holen. Im Frühjahr dieses Jahres fuhren andere Delegationen mit anderen Intentionen nach Wisconsin: Über zwei Monaten hielten »ägyptische Verhältnisse« den Bundesstaat in Atem, nachdem wilde Streiks gegen ein Haushaltssanierungsgesetz (»budget repair bill«) der regierenden Republikaner ausbrachen, mit dem diese die Bewältigung der Krisenlasten (ein aktuelles Defizit von 136 Millionen Dollar zzgl. eines prognostizierten Defizits von 3,6 Mrd. für die nächsten zwei Jahre) vor allem der lohnabhängigen Bevölkerung aufzubürden versuchten ? mit rund achtprozentigen Lohnkürzungen für die Beschäftigten des Öffentlichen Dienstes und Kürzungen bei Renten und Arbeitslosenversicherungen für alle. Besonders umstritten: die gesetzliche Einschränkung der Koalitionsfreiheit und der Tarifautonomie, mit der ? wie in elf weiteren Bundesstaaten seit den letzten Wahlen 2010 ? den Gewerkschaften des Öffentlichen Dienstes ihre auf dem »closed shop«-Prinzip basierende Form der Organisierung und das Recht auf regierungsunabhängige Lohnfindung beschnitten werden sollte, einschließlich einer staatlich verordneten Vorgabe, Lohnerhöhungen nur im Rahmen des Inflationsausgleichs zu dulden und bei Zuwiderhandlung die Nationalgarde gegen die Gewerkschaften einzusetzen. Damit hätten dann, wenn sich ähnliche Vorhaben in anderen Bundesstaaten durchsetzen, insgesamt 33 Bundesstaaten in den USA die »right to work«-Gesetzgebung eingeführt, nach der Beschäftigte das Recht haben, an der Gewerkschaft vorbei einen auf individueller Basis ausgehandelten Job in einem gewerkschaftlich organisierten Unternehmen anzunehmen. Das senkt die Kosten für die Unternehmen und zersetzt mühsam errungene gewerkschaftliche Kollektivvereinbarungen. Eben dieses liberal interpretierte »Recht auf Arbeit« wurde, allen Protesten zum Trotz, mit einem juristischen Trick nun auch in Wisconsin verabschiedet. Aus der Phase kurz vor dieser Entscheidung dokumentieren wir den folgenden Beitrag von Jane Slaughter, Arbeitswissenschaftlerin und Redakteurin der Labor Notes http://www.labournet.de/internationales/usa/slaughter2.html

The Oil Company Gusher

Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: 'Exxon-Mobil s first quarter earnings of $10.7 billion are up 69 percent from last year. That s the most profit the company has earned since the third quarter of 2008 - perhaps not coincidentally, around the time when gas prices last reached the lofty $4 a gallon. This gusher is an embarrassment for an industry seeking to keep its $4 billion annual tax subsidy from the US government, at a time when we're cutting social programs to reduce the budget deficit. It s especially embarrassing when Americans are paying through their noses at the pump.'

Wisconsin s 'Capitol City' Was Testing Ground for Participatory Democracy

Ryan Harvey, Truthout: 'That was before the Wisconsin State Capitol building was occupied and several large wildcat strikes and student walkouts brought thousands into the streets. Soon, all fourteen Democratic senators would flee the state and the largest demonstrations in Wisconsin s history would bring international attention to the antiunion agenda behind the bill. I came to Madison and slept in the Capitol for five nights during the occupation. I wanted to get a clear understanding of the movement s depth, capacity and commitment. I traveled back more recently to get the story of how the occupation came to be, how it was organized, how people have reflected on it since and the role it has played in the mass movement here.'

Jobwunder entpuppt sich als schöner Schein

28. April 2011

Zur Situation auf dem deutschen Arbeitsmarkt im Monat April erklärt die Bundesgeschäftsführerin der Partei DIE LINKE, Caren Lay:

So kurz vor dem 1. Mai soll die offizielle Arbeitslosenzahl wohl für Freude und Entspannung sorgen. 3,078 Millionen Menschen waren im April ohne Arbeit ? für die politisch Verantwortlichen ein willkommener Anlass die Vokabel ?Jobwunder? massiv zu strapazieren. Doch nur durch massive Statistiktricks ließ sich die Arbeitslosenzahl so weit drücken. DIE LINKE hat nachgerechnet und kommt trickbereinigt auf 4,085 Millionen Menschen ohne Arbeit, darunter Arbeitslose über 58 oder 1-Euro-Jobber, d.h. über eine Millionen Menschen wurden aus der offiziellen Statistik herausgerechnet. Und selbst Volkswirte geben zu, was DIE LINKE seit Jahren sagt. Das vermeintliche Jobwunder beruht zu einem großen Teil auf Leiharbeit, Minijobs und schlecht bezahlter Arbeit. Prekäre Beschäftigung und ein rasant wachsender Niedriglohnbereich sind das, was sich hinter dem 'Aufschwung' verbirgt. Das sind Millionen Schicksale von Menschen, die von ihrer Arbeit nicht leben können, Unsicherheit und Erpressbarkeit. Die Einführung der Arbeitnehmerfreizügigkeit zum 1. Mai ist ein richtiger Schritt in ein vereinigtes Europa, aber sie muss sozial abgesichert werden. DIE LINKE fordert seit Jahren einen flächendeckenden, gesetzlichen Mindestlohn: Nur er verhindert, dass Arbeitgeber den Konkurrenzkampf auf dem Rücken der Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmer austragen, nur er verhindert Lohndumping. Gerade zum 1. Mai sagt DIE LINKE: Mindestlohn ist das Mindeste. Nur ein existenzsichernder, flächendeckender gesetzlicher Mindestlohn stärkt die Binnennachfrage und schafft Arbeitsplätze, gute Arbeitsplätze.

Tragedy In Japan Affects World Population

Part 1

by Dr. James Howenstine, MD

This meltdown in Japan is a devastating tragedy. Japanese physicist Michio Kaku reported on March 14 that all three Fukushima reactors are melting down and that the battle has been lost. To make matters much worse radioactive spent fuel from earlier usage in the reactors is stored at the site. This is 300 times worse than Chernobyl as that incident had no reactor meltdown. Five hundred square miles surrounding Chernobyl are considered dead. No animals or humans live in this area........

Who is to blame for rising oil prices? Speculators

The Christian Science Monitor
by Steve A. Yetiv

04/27/11

People around the world are feeling the pain at the pump. President Obama, whose reelection in 2012 may depend on a rebounding American economy, has promised that his energy plan could temper oil prices. Adding to the stakes, minutes from the US Federal Reserve meeting in March 2011 revealed concern that high oil prices could hurt the American economy. So why have oil prices risen from around $36 dollars per barrel in December 2008 to $110 dollars per barrel now? And what can be done to lower them?

Monsanto to police itself

Fast Company
by Ariel Schwartz

04/25/11

Monsanto, enemy of organic farmers and anti-GMO advocates alike, will likely be allowed to conduct its own environmental studies as part of a two-year USDA experiment. But there is no good that can possibly come of an experiment where the company behind nearly every genetically modified crop in our daily diets is allowed to decide whether its products are causing any environmental harm. ... Because the USDA is so bad at doing its job on time, the agency decided to see if anyone else was prepared to do its safety testing work instead...

The Tea Parties Now Have Their Man

by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

After I wrote my last column, several Tea Party activists contacted me to let me know that they had not been 'neoconned.' They made it plain in no uncertain terms that they would never support establishment neocon Republicans such as Newt Gingrich for the office of President of the United States. Most assuredly, I was glad to hear from these folks; I only wish my mail box had been swamped with such correspondence--it wasn t! At this point, it may be helpful if I give a little history lesson.

And so it begins. After dropping thousand of tons of bombs and missiles on Libya in an ineffective and inefficient effort to bring about regime change, President Obama has decided to send $25 million in 'non-lethal' assistance to the Libyan rebels, including uniforms, boots, vehicles, fuel trucks, protective vests and non-secure radios. On top of this 'non-lethal' assistance, the president has also authorized the use of the very lethal Predator drones despite the fact that killing by 'remote control' has proven somewhat less-than-reliable in Afghanistan and Pakistan and often results in the murder of friendly forces and innocent civilians...

Why the US and NATO Fed Detainees to Afghan Torture System

Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service: 'Starting in late 2005, U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan began turning detainees over to the Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS), despite its well-known reputation for torture. Interviews with former U.S. and NATO diplomats and other evidence now available show that United States and other NATO governments become complicit in NDS torture of detainees for two distinctly different reasons.'

Cheney Was Right About One Thing: Deficits Dont Matter

Ellen Brown, Truthout: 'Former Vice President Dick Cheney famously said, 'Deficits don't matter.' A staunch Republican, he was arguing against raising taxes on the rich; but today, Republicans seem to have forgotten this maxim. They are bent on stripping social programs, privatizing public assets and gutting unions, all in the name of 'deficit reduction.' Worse, Standard & Poor s has now taken up the hatchet. Some bloggers are calling it blackmail. This private, for-profit rating agency, with a dubious track record of its own, is dictating government policy, threatening to downgrade the government s long-held triple AAA credit rating if Congress fails to deal with its deficit in sufficiently draconian fashion.'

[P]ut not your trust in partisan politics. There is no hope there, at least not under the present two-party system.

The two-party system, in and of itself, is a symptom of decadence: it represents the degeneration of politics from a civic duty into an entertainment.

Guantanamo: Doctors neglected, concealed medical evidence of torture

ABC News

04/26/11

Doctors caring for detainees at the Guantanamo prison may have neglected or concealed medical evidence of torture, such as bone fractures, lacerations, and symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, according to a study released today by Physicians for Human Rights. For example, one of the suspected terrorists held at Gitmo who claimed he had been severely beaten with kicks and punches until he was unconcious had evidence of a fracture on X-ray, but the circumstances of the injury were not discussed in his medical file...

Democracys Work: Work in a Democratic Society

Ellen Dannin, American Constitution Society: 'In this era of high unemployment, the United States has increasingly become a country of bad jobs that are held by people desperate to provide food and shelter for themselves and their families. As a result, many workers and unemployed workers have become so desperate that they are willing to forego fair treatment on the job, the enforcement of laws enacted to provide safe, fair, and remunerative work, and the working conditions of other employees who have benefitted from collective bargaining.'

Public Pensions, Once Off Limits, Face Budget Cuts

Michael Cooper and Mary Williams Walsh, The New York Times News Service: 'When an arbitrator ruled this month that Detroit could reduce the pensions being earned by its police sergeants and lieutenants, it put the struggling city at the forefront of a growing national debate over whether the pensions of current public workers can or should be reduced. Conventional wisdom and the laws and constitutions of many states have long held that the pensions being earned by current government workers are untouchable. But as the fiscal crisis has lingered, officials in strapped states from California to Illinois have begun to take a second look, to see whether there might be loopholes allowing them to cut the pension benefits of current employees. Now the move in Detroit - made possible, lawyers said, because Michigan's constitutional protections are weaker - could spur other places to try to follow suit.'

Verheerenden Boom von Minijobs stoppen

26. April 2011

Anlässlich der von der Bundesagentur für Arbeit veröffentlichten Zahlen von ausufernden Dumpinglöhnen in Deutschland kritisiert die Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Gesine Lötzsch, die Politik der Hartz-IV-Parteien:

Der Trend war abzusehen und ist hausgemacht. Sowohl Rot-Grün als auch Schwarz-Gelb priesen Minijobs als Erfolgsmodell der Agenda 2010. Diese Politik hat Deutschland europaweit zum Niedriglohnland gestempelt. Die Folgen sind verheerend. Inzwischen konstatiert die Bundesagentur für Arbeit, trotz wirtschaftlichen Aufschwungs, mehr als 7,3 Millionen geringfügig entlohnt Beschäftigte. Immer mehr Menschen müssen Sozialleistungen beantragen, weil sie sich mit mehreren Nebenjobs nicht über Wasser halten können. Davon besonders betroffen sind Frauen. Die Situation wird sich ab dem 1. Mai 2011 weiter verschärfen, denn damit steht der Arbeitsmarkt auch Beschäftigten aus Mittel- und Osteuropa offen. Das ist ein guter Schritt auf dem Weg zu einem vereinigten Europa. Es ist ein schlechter Schritt, wenn Arbeitgeber nicht daran gehindert werden, die Löhne weiter zu drücken. Doch statt umzusteuern lässt die Bundesregierung weiter zu, dass Leiharbeit und Ausbeutung zu miesesten Bedingungen Hochkonjunktur haben. Das wirksamste Mittel gegen Lohndumping ist die Einführung eines flächendeckenden gesetzlichen Mindestlohns von 10 Euro, wie ihn DIE LINKE fordert. Wir werden dafür gemeinsam mit den Gewerkschaften am 1. Mai auf die Straße gehen. Es ist Zeit, die verheerende Entwicklung auf dem Arbeitsmarkt zu stoppen. Deutschland braucht gute Arbeit und faire Löhne ebenso wie gleichen Lohn für gleiche Arbeit.

Schluss mit Jobcenter-Willkür und Schikane - Zahltag am 2. Mai - Jobcenter Bonn

'Ist euer Arbeitslosengeld häufig unpünktlich auf dem Konto? Verschwinden auch immer wieder eure Unterlagen im Jobcenter und der Antrag wird deshalb nicht bearbeitet? Werden euch aus den banalsten Gründen die Leistungen verweigert oder werdet in unsinnige Maßnahmen gedrängt? Habt ihr auch schon mal den ganzen Tag versucht das Jobcenter telefonisch zu erreichen? Wenn ihr auch nur einer dieser Fragen mit Ja beantwortet dann habt ihr begriffen, dass das Ganze seit mehr als 6 Jahren System hat und das ist einfach: Druck von oben wird nach unten weitergereicht! Betroffene werden mit Anträgen wochen- ja sogar bis monatelang hingehalten, angegriffen, finanziell sanktioniert, entrechtet, mit Hausverbot bedroht und entwürdigend diszipliniert. Aus diesem Grunde findet am Montag 02. Mai 2011 die Aktion ?Zahltag!? beim Jobcenter Bonn statt. Schon mehrmals haben 'Zahltag-Aktionen' für Unruhe bei den Jobcentern gesorgt und zu dem Ergebnis geführt, dass zahlreiche Erwerbslose ihr zustehendes Geld bekamen oder andere persönliche Anliegen durchsetzen konnten. Unser Erfolgsgeheimnis heißt: Niemals alleine zum Jobcenter! Übrigens exakt gegenüber dem Jobcenter Bonn werden im Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales die Hartz IV-Gesetze erarbeitet Es reicht! Darum kommt am Montag 2. Mai zum Jobcenter Bonn, Rochusstr. 6 zum Zahltag.? Siehe den Aufruf beim Erwerbslosenforum vom 22.04.2011 http://www.erwerbslosenforum.de/nachrichten/22_222011220422_433_1.htm

Reality clashes with Obamas promised utopia

Hawaii Reporter
by Christopher G. Adamo

04/25/11

In virtually every situation where the U.S. government should be working on behalf of the country, as well as many that it should leave alone, it is consistently inflicting grave damage. It is virtually impossible to deny the preponderance of concurring evidence. But are Americans ready to face the utter fiasco of the 'hope and change' instituted during the Obama Administration s first two years, or will they accept more of the liberal disease as the purported cure for its symptoms?

Most Americans would very likely deny that their government is a global empire, horribly destructive to national security, liberty, and wealth. But whatever we call this U.S. system of ubiquitous military bases, satellite regimes throughout the world, ever-growing 'defense' budgets, and an ever-expansive international presence in military hardware and personnel, it is probably even more controversial to say that the whole apparatus cannot be sustained forever and that the pressing question is not whether it will be dismantled but whether its dismantling will happen disastrously and violently or deliberately and peacefully...

From Russia, Dire Warnings on Libya

By Robert Bridge

NATO forces have unleashed a powerful missile attack on Tripoli, the Libyan capital, in the latest sign that the coalition has ignored its UN mandate to 'protect civilians' and has chosen instead to take sides in the revolt.

The War in Libya: Race, 'Humanitarianism,' and the Media

What is lacking in much of what passes for 'informed commentary' on Libya is historical depth and context. Everything seems structured to explain the events of the day, without relation to previous days, let alone previous years, and the wider social and economic context.

Newly leaked documents show the ongoing travesty of Guantanamo

Wikileaks Salon

The documents reveal vast new information about these detainees and, in particular, the shoddy and unreliable nature of the 'evidence' used (both before and now) to justify their due-process-free detentions...

Chernobyl: distorted reality, and unanswered questions

LLRC has listened to Fallout: The Legacy of Chernobyl (BBC Radio 4 20:00 - 20:40 British Summer-time: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b010mckx .

First impression is that this 40 minute treatment was slightly less unbalanced in favour of nuclear power than the 2006 BBC2 tv documentary Nuclear Nightmares which, according to a decision of the BBC Trust, was biased.

LLRC will make a complaint to the BBC about Fallout: The Legacy of Chernobyl and the manner in which it was used to underplay the likely impact of the Fukushima disaster.

In light of emerging information about the degree and geographical extent of radioactive contaminants emanating from Fukushima, citizens of nations where reckless endangerment is a criminal offence might consider bringing a legal action against the BBC for encouraging members of the public to disregard the potential health effects.
