Andy Stirling and Alister Scott, Project Syndicate: 'Why do we seem to be witnessing an increasing number of nasty technological surprises? Indeed, this year s Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan and last year s BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico have taken their place alongside older problems, such as ozone depletion. We believe that the way in which scientific advice is developed and communicated lies at the heart of the question. Science is increasingly used to support what are essentially public-policy decisions, particularly concerning new and complex technologies.'

Am kommenden Montag findet eine Anhörung zum Thema Sanktionen bzw. Leistungskürzungen bei den Grundsicherungen (Hartz IV= SGB II, SGB XII) im Ausschuss für Arbeit und Soziales des Deutschen Bundestages statt. Anlass für Anhörung sind zwei Anträge der Fraktionen Bündnis 90/ Die Grünen sowie der Partei Die Linke. Der Antrag der Grünen fordert eine 'Reformierung' der Sanktionsparagrafen, der Antrag der Linken eine Abschaffung. Erwerbslosen-Gruppen und die Initiative 'Netzwerk Grundeinkommen' planen eine 'aktive Begleitung der Anhörung', um gegen Leistungskürzungen bei Hartz IV zu demonstrieren. Lesen Sie weiter:

Hartz IV Regelsatz soll auf 374 Euro steigen?

Nach Informationen der Westdeutschen Allgemeinen Zeitung (WAZ) soll der Hartz IV Regelsatz ( http://www.gegen-hartz.de/hartzivregelleistung.php ) im kommenden Jahr 2012 statt um 3 um 10 Euro steigen. Die Zeitung beruft sich dabei auf einen Bericht der schwarz-gelben Bundesregierung zum Existenzminimum. Lesen Sie weiter:

Mietspiegel macht Arme wohnungslos

Die Kampagne gegen Zwangsumzüge bei Hartz IV schaltet seit 6 Jahren eine ehrenamtlich arbeitende Notrufhotline für Grundsicherungsberechtigte. Auch mit Flyern und einer Website werden Berliner/innen informiert, wenn das JobCenter die Miete nicht mehr in voller Höhe übernimmt und die 'Verharzten' zwangsweise umziehen sollen. Weiter lesen:

Studie: Hartz IV verkürzt nicht die Verweildauer in der Arbeitslosigkeit

Laut einer wissenschaftlichen Studie der Hans-Böckler-Stiftung, verkürzt die sogenannte Arbeitsmarktreform Hartz IV nicht die Verweildauer der Erwerbslosigkeit und verhilft demnach auch nicht schneller zum Job. Weiter lesen:

Die Verweildauer in Hartz IV hat dramatisch zugenommen

Die damalige rot-grüne Bundesregierung begründete die Einführung der Hartz IV Gesetze vor allem mit dem Argument, die Verweildauer in der Arbeitslosigkeit massiv zu senken. Doch genau das Gegenteil ist der Fall, wie eine kleine Anfrage der Fraktion 'Die Linke' zeigte... Weiterlesen:

Armuts-TÜV für Sozialsysteme einführen

Der Vorsitzende der LINKEN, Klaus Ernst, fordert nach Bekanntwerden der UN-Kritik an der deutschen Sozialpolitik einen 'Armuts-TÜV' für die Sozialsysteme. Alle Gesetze müssten darauf überprüft werden, ob sie ausreichend zur Vermeidung von Armut beitragen. Ernst spricht sich für die Errichtung von 'Armutsbarrieren' am Arbeitsmarkt und in den Sozialsystemen aus. Er erklärt:

Der Bericht der UN ist ein beschämendes Dokument des Scheiterns aller Regierungen seit der Wiedervereinigung. Armut fällt in einem reichen Land nicht vom Himmel. Wenn per Gesetz Löhne, Renten und Sozialleistungen gekürzt werden, dann darf sich niemand wundern, wenn die Armut grassiert. Wir müssen jetzt alle Sozialsysteme auf den Prüfstand stellen. Ein Armuts-TÜV muss ermitteln, ob die Sozialsysteme wirklich Armut verhindern oder sogar am Ende zur Vergrößerung der Armut führen. Am Arbeitsmarkt und in den Sozialsystemen müssen Armutsbarrieren errichtet werden. Wir brauchen einen Mindestlohn für die Arbeitnehmer, eine Mindestsicherung für die Erwerbslosen und ihre Familien und eine Mindestrente für die Senioren.

Despite Intelligence Rejecting Iran as Nuclear Threat, US Could Be Headed for Iraq Redux

Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now!: 'In his latest article for The New Yorker magazine, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh says the United States might attack Iran based on distorted estimates of Iran s nuclear and military threat - just like it did with Saddam Hussein s government in Iraq. Hersh reveals that despite using Iranian informants and cutting-edge surveillance technology, U.S. officials have been unable to find decisive evidence that Iran has been moving enriched uranium to an underground weapon-making center.'

General Keane Keen on Iran Attack

Ray McGovern, Consortium News: 'Celebrating a reunion with close friends of Fordham College (class of 1961) on a perfect June day in New York should be a time of little or no stress. So I should have avoided a long lecture by a retired four-star general from the class of 1966, Jack Keane. Keane, now on Fordham University s Board of Trustees, has been the go-to general for the neoconservatives in recent years. He said he was speaking to us before catching a flight to Europe where he would lobby leaders of the 41 NATO countries who, except for three, have been 'unwilling to ask their people to sacrifice' in places like Afghanistan. (By all indications, Keane has apparently given no thought to the possibility that the Europeans have been far quicker to understand that the war in Afghanistan - aka Vietnamistan - is a fool's errand.)'

Torture s comeback

The American Conservative
by Chase Madar

06/02/11

The killing of Osama bin Laden should have provoked some healthy debate about our ongoing reaction to the 9/11 attacks. Was this manhunt worth the $3 trillion estimated by National Journal? Does our alliance structure guarantee the creation of more bin Laden-type threats? Has our military response to 9/11 hurt us and others more than it has helped? Instead, the execution of bin Laden has launched a nostalgia craze for torture, whose great virtues, we are told, have been cruelly underappreciated...

A war fit for a king

Reason Reason
by Steve Chapman

06/02/11

[T]he framers stipulated that Congress has the power to 'declare war,' giving it the chief responsibility except when the president needed to act quickly to repel an attack. But in the ensuing centuries, presidents of both parties have often trampled over their original limits, and Congress has usually let them. This has not gone over well with all lawmakers - like the senator who said in 2007 that the president has no right to go to war on his own, barring an actual or potential attack. His name was Barack Obama. But President Obama has thoroughly repudiated the naive and simplistic notions voiced by Sen. Obama. In some ways, he has also been even more aggressive than his predecessors in doing whatever he pleases...

But he s our imperial president!

Sometimes it s hard to remember that the presidency was supposed to be a constitutionally limited office. George Washington didn t imagine himself 'commander in chief of our economy,' in Hillary Clinton s bizarre formulation; our first president doubted that his powers as CINC even allowed him to attack hostile Indian tribes without congressional authorization. Nor did Washington refer to himself by his military title, preferring to call the office the 'chief magistracy,' a far humbler term...

First GOP applauds death, boos U.S. soldier, now cheers Rick Scott s unemployment 'success'

Scott s reminder that he laid of thousands of Floridians drew big applause from the conservative crowd. At least 600,000 government workers have lost their jobs since the recession began, but Republicans nevertheless keep scapegoating public employees who have shouldered more than their fair share of economic pain.

In a relationship, and it s complicated

Ludwig von Mises Institute
by Anthony Gregory

The idea that corporate interests, banking elites, and politicians conspire to set US policy is at once obvious and beyond the pale. Everyone knows that the military-industrial complex is fat and corrupt, that presidents bestow money and privilege on their donors and favored businesses, that a revolving door connects Wall Street and the White House, and that economic motivations lurk behind America s wars. But to make too fine a point of this is typically dismissed as unserious conspiracy theorizing, unworthy of mainstream consideration. We have seen this paradox at work in the aftermath of the 2008 financial collapse...

MSNBC s Flawed Coverage of Libya, Economy

Michael Corcoran and Stephen Maher, Truthout: 'When US bombs began to drop on Libya last month, representing the start of the third simultaneous US war (not including covert wars being waged by US Special Forces and the CIA in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, and elsewhere), it was not surprising to see the media jump into a pro-war frenzy, as it so often does. One might hope, however, that perhaps MSNBC - on the liberal side of acceptable discourse in US cable media - would at least offer significant skepticism toward another expensive and bloody US war. This is especially true given that 74 percent of the US population opposed US intervention. A close look, however, reveals the opposite is true. MSNBC, whose hosts align themselves closely with Barack Obama and the Democratic Party, has been perhaps the most hawkish station on cable news.'

We Will Never Accept Unconstitutional War

Aimee Allison, Norman Solomon and David Swanson, RootsAction: 'On May 26, the U.S. House amended the Defense Authorization Act of 2012 to state that its passage in no way authorizes the current war in Libya, and to prohibit the introduction of U.S. ground troops into Libya. We must insist that the Senate uphold those amendments next week. At the same time, the House rejected amendments that would have limited or ended U.S. warfare in Afghanistan, and rejected an amendment that would have stripped Section 1034 from the bill. That section is perhaps the most fundamental change to the structure of our federal government that has ever appeared likely to pass through Congress, as it would effectively give the power to make war to all future presidents. We must demand that the Senate remove Section 1034.'

Verbot der Nutzung von Kernenergie ohne Hintertür

Anlässlich der aktuellen Debatte zum Atomausstieg und der Ankündigungen von Klagen der Stromkonzerne gegen die Ausstiegspläne der Bundesregierung erklärt die Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Gesine Lötzsch:

Ich freue mich, dass SPD-Fraktionsgeschäftsführer, Thomas Oppermann, mit seinen jüngsten Äußerungen einem Gesetzesentwurf (DRUCKSACHE NR. 17/5474) meiner Fraktion im Grunde zustimmt und den Atomausstieg 'wasserdicht' im Grundgesetz verankern will. Nur so wird den Stromkonzernen der Boden für Klagen entzogen und der Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie unumkehrbar. Unser Gesetzentwurf schließt zudem das Verbot zur Produktion und Nutzung von Kernwaffen ein. Das Atomgesetz ist für heutige und künftige Generationen von so entscheidender Bedeutung, dass ihm Verfassungsrang gebührt. Die Stromproduktion und deren Nutzung darf nicht durch die Einflussnahme von Lobbyisten und deren Profitinteressen bestimmt werden. Deshalb gehört die Stromproduktion in die öffentliche Hand und unter öffentliche Kontrolle. Atomenergie muss für zivile und militärische Nutzung für immer verbannt werden.

Bill Moyers Interviews Andrew Bacevich

Bill Moyers, The New Press: "Our finest warriors are often our most reluctant warmongers. They have seen firsthand the toll war exacts. They know better than anyone that force can be like a lobster trap that closes with each stage of descent, making escape impossible. So it was when the liberal consensus lured America into Vietnam during the '60s, and again after 9/11, when neoconservatives clamored for the invasion of Iraq.... One old warrior looked on sadly, his understanding of combat s reality tempered by twenty-three years in uniform, including service in Vietnam.... Bacevich supported Barack Obama s candidacy but believes that Obama s commitment of more troops to Afghanistan was a deadly mistake.'

Ed Kinane, Truthout: 'Thanks in large part to court and prison witness, one grassroots organization I ve long worked with has grown by leaps and bounds. Determined to expose and close the Pentagon s School of the Americas (SOA) - aka the 'School of Assassins' - more than 200 SOA Watch activists over the years have willingly endured trial and incarceration. Inspired by them, each November, thousands from all over the country converge on Fort Benning, Georgia to protest the SOA there for fostering large-scale bloodshed and human rights abuse in Latin America. (In response to our persistent pressure, the SOA has undergone a PR makeover: it has changed its name to the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, WHINSEC.)'

Wir wünschen den Verletzten baldige Genesung.'

Drei Tote innerhalb einer Woche zeigen auf grausame Weise, dass jeder weitere Kriegstag die Gewaltspirale in Afghanistan eskalieren lässt. Es ist höchste Zeit, diesen Krieg zu beenden und die Bundeswehr unverzüglich aus Afghanistan abzuziehen. Der Einsatz der Bundeswehr hat alle seine Ziele verfehlt. Wer Frieden für Afghanistan will und den Aufbau demokratischer, ziviler Strukturen und die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung unterstützen will, muss den Weg für Friedensverhandlungen frei machen und den Kriegseinsatz beenden. Die Bundeswehr muss endlich und unverzüglich raus aus Afghanistan. Der Abzug der Bundeswehr aus Afghanistan ist das Beste für die Sicherheit der deutschen Soldaten.

In These Times
by Steve Weinberg

The title of Anna Politkovskaya s new posthumous anthology, Is Journalism Worth Dying For?: Final Dispatches (Melville House, April), poses a provocative question. The answer is probably no. But freedom of speech and freedom from corruption might be worth dying for, and sometimes only journalists can make those freedoms happen. Politkovskaya, who worked as an investigative reporter for the independent Moscow newspaper Novaya Gazeta until she was assassinated in October 2006 at the age of 48, asked herself this question in a piece never submitted for publication...

White House, congressional leaders block Libya debate

The Nation Blog
by John Nichols

06/01/11

President Obama committed U.S. forces to a military conflict with Libya. He did so without following the basic dictates of the Constitution, which requires that wars be declared by Congress, or the War Powers Act, which outlines requirements and timelines for cooperating with the House and Senate after a war has begun. Congressman Dennis Kucinich has raised this issue again and again, pressing for congressional oversight - sometimes on his own, sometimes in the company of a handful on constitutionally-concerned Democrats and Republicans such as Texas Congressman Ron Paul. Now, two months into the fight, Kucinich, D-Ohio, is pressing the point...

Part I

Henry A. Giroux, Peter Lang Publishing Group Book Excerpt: 'The twenty-first-century zombies no longer emerge from the grave; they now inhabit the rich environs of Wall Street and roam the halls of the gilded monuments of greed such as Goldman Sachs. As an editorial in The New York Times points out, the new zombies of free-market fundamentalism turned 'the financial system into a casino. Like gambling, the transactions mostly just shifted paper money around the globe. Unlike gambling, they packed an enormous capacity for collective and economic destruction - hobbling banks that made bad bets, freezing credit and economic activity. Society - not the bankers - bore the cost.'

Zombie Politics: Dangerous Authoritarianism or Shrinking Democracy

Part II

Henry A. Giroux, Peter Lang Publishing Group: *While precise accounts of the meaning of authoritarianism, especially fascism, abound, I have no desire, given its shifting nature, to impose a rigid or universal definition. What is to be noted is that many scholars, such as Kevin Passmore and Robert O. Paxton, agree that authoritarianism is a mass movement that emerges out of a failed democracy, and its ideology is extremely anti-liberal, anti-democratic, and anti-socialistic. As a social order, it is generally characterized by a system of terror directed against perceived enemies of the state; a monopolistic control of the mass media; an expanding prison system; a state monopoly of weapons; political rule by privileged groups and classes; control of the economy by a limited number of people; unbridled corporatism; 'the appeal to emotion and myth rather than reason; the glorification of violence on behalf of a national cause; the mobilization and militarization of civil society; [and] an expansionist foreign policy intended to promote national greatness.'

The Truth About the American Economy

Robert Reich, Robert Reich s Blog: 'The U.S. economy continues to stagnate. It s growing at the rate of 1.8 percent, which is barely growing at all. Consumer spending is down. Home prices are down. Jobs and wages are going nowhere. It s vital that we understand the truth about the American economy. How did we go from the Great Depression to 30 years of Great Prosperity? And from there, to 30 years of stagnant incomes and widening inequality, culminating in the Great Recession? And from the Great Recession into such an anemic recovery?'

SCOTUS: Regime officials can do anything they want

Los Angeles Times

05/31/11

The Supreme Court, unanimously throwing out a suit against former Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft from someone arrested but never used as a material witness in a terrorism case, has now erected a broad shield protecting the government and Bush administration officials for their conduct in the war on terrorism. ... Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, in a key concurring opinion joined by three liberal justices, said judges should be wary of allowing suits targeting 'national officeholders' working 'in the area of national security.' ... Justice Antonin Scalia, writing the lead opinion, said it did not matter whether Ashcroft was falsely claiming that Kidd and others like him were valuable witnesses...

NATO risks spilling own blood while mounting pressure on Gaddafi

'They seem to think if they quote the UN resolution at the same time as they call for Gaddafi to go and for regime change, it s a sort of guarantee, or as a laissez-passer. Frankly they are involved in a civil war in Libya. The deployment of helicopters, the intensive bombing of Tripoli that s going on - this is a war about regime change," British MP Jeremy Corbyn believes.

Dave Lindorff, This Can't Be Happening: 'Unemployment in Egypt among young men and women is about 30%. In Tunisia, it is over 40%. The White House claims that with figures like that, the future for democracy in those countries is tenuous. But wait a minute. What about the US? Unemployment and underemployment here is still up around 20% overall, and it is much higher among young people. Black youth unemployment fell so far in 2011 to an official rate of 44% from 50% last year (because so many young workers just gave up trying to find work!). Among Latino youth, the official unemployment rate is stuck at around 30%. Overall, youth unemployment, according to the official Labor Department figures, is 20%, but remember, the official rate does not count those who are working part time who want full-time work, and does not count those who have given up looking for work.'

Noam Chomsky, Truthout: 'The May 1 U.S. attack on Osama bin Laden s compound violated multiple elementary norms of international law, beginning with the invasion of Pakistani territory. There appears to have been no attempt to apprehend the unarmed victim, as presumably could have been done by the 79 commandos facing almost no opposition. President Obama announced that 'justice has been done.' Many did not agree - even close allies. British barrister Geoffrey Robertson, who generally supported the operation, nevertheless described Obama s claim as an 'absurdity' that should have been obvious to a former professor of constitutional law.'

Dumb Question of the 21st Century: Is It Legal?

Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: 'Is the Libyan war legal? Was Bin Laden s killing legal? Is it legal for the president of the United States to target an American citizen for assassination? Were those 'enhanced interrogation techniques' legal? These are all questions raised in recent weeks. Each seems to call out for debate, for answers. Or does it? Now, you couldn t call me a legal scholar. I have never set foot inside a law school, and in 66 years only made it onto a single jury (dismissed before trial when the civil suit was settled out of court). Still, I feel at least as capable as any constitutional law professor of answering such questions. My answer is this: they are irrelevant.'

31. Mai 2011

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

Letzte Woche stellte Ministerin von der Leyen im Kabinett einen umfassenden Katalog geplanter Kürzungen bei den arbeitsmarktpolitischen Maßnahmen und Instrumenten vor. Man könnte glauben, die Arbeitslosigkeit sei in Deutschland nahezu ausgestorben. Doch das Gegenteil ist richtig. Im Mai waren in Deutschland offiziell 2,96 Millionen Menschen ohne Erwerbsarbeit, bereits hier wird in Größenordnungen in der Statistik gestrichen. DIE LINKE hat auch in diesem Monat nachgerechnet und kommt auf 4,064 Millionen Arbeitslose. Die millionenfache Erwerbslosigkeit wird schlicht als gegeben hingenommen. Das ist ein gesellschaftlicher Skandal ? aller Beteuerungen der Ministerin zum Trotz. Von der Leyens aktuelle Streichorgie bei den arbeitsmarktpolitischen Instrumenten hat fatale Konsequenzen. Denn sie hängt viele Menschen einfach ab. Die Bundesregierung fordert immer mehr von Erwerbslosen und fördert sie gleichzeitig immer weniger. Eine aktive Arbeitsmarktpolitik war vor dem Spar-Wahn schon Mangelware, und wird es nun noch viel mehr. Das vermeintliche Jobwunder spielt sich hauptsächlich in der Leiharbeit, dem wachsenden Niedriglohnbereich und anderen prekären Beschäftigungsformen ab. Opfer sind vor allem Langzeitarbeitslose und Bezieherinnen und Bezieher von Hartz IV. Aktuelle Studien belegen, dass die Vermittlung aus Hartz IV in Arbeit durchschnittlich 13 Monate dauert. Das ist viel zu lang. Die christlich-liberale Kahlschlagpolitik ist zutiefst antisozial und zynisch. DIE LINKE fordert eine aktive Arbeitsmarktpolitik, die diesen Namen auch verdient und die Menschen in existenzsichernde, sozialversicherungspflichtige Arbeit bringt, damit sie davon leben können.

Einstieg. Abstieg. Sackgasse. Imagekampagne der Leiharbeitsunternehmen in der Kritik 'Einstieg. Aufstieg. Wachstum' Der Slogan, mit dem der neu gegründete Bundsverband der Personaldienstleister (BAP) versucht, das ramponierte Image der Leiharbeit aufzupolieren, klingt vielversprechend. An der Realität geht er jedoch weit vorbei. Leiharbeit erweist sich für viele nicht als Chance, sondern als Sackgasse?'

Freedom's Phoenix Freedom's Phoenix
by US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)

05/30/11

Our Presidents can now, on their own: order assassinations, including American citizens; operate secret military tribunals; engage in torture; enforce indefinite imprisonment without due process; order searches and seizures without proper warrants, gutting the 4th Amendment; ignore the 60 day rule for reporting to the Congress the nature of any military operations as required by the War Power Resolution; continue the Patriot Act abuses without oversight; wage war at will; and treat all Americans as suspected terrorists at airports with TSA groping and nude x-rays. Americans who are not alarmed by all of this are either not paying close attention, or are too trusting of current government officials to be concerned...

The Patriot Act is not conservative

The American Conservative
by Jack Hunter

05/31/11

If Americans needed another reminder of why the Democratic Party is absolutely worthless, they got it during last week s Patriot Act extension debate when Senate Majority leader Harry Reid again behaved exactly like the Bush-era Republicans he once vigorously opposed. In 2005, Reid bragged to fellow Democrats, 'We killed the Patriot Act.' Today, Reid says that anyone who opposes the Patriot Act might be responsible for the killing of Americans. Dick Cheney now hears an echo and Americans deserve congressional hearings - as to whether Harry Reid is a sociopath, mere liar, or both...

Patriot Act renewal gives terrorists another victory

Wrights 2012 Liberty For All
by R. Lee Wrights

06/01/11

Using the same tactics of secrecy, deceit, outright lies and fear that they have been using for ten years, Democrats and Republicans steamrolled over the opposition and stampeded Congress into renewing several provisions of the Patriotic Act last week. Once again, both Democrats and Republicans dishonored their oath of office and voted for a bill that will continue to erode the freedom and liberty of all Americans. Thanks to Congress, score another victory for every terrorist in the world who seeks to destroy the land of the free and home of the brave...

Hidden inflation and debilitating deficits

Campaign For Liberty Campaign For Liberty
by Anthony Gregory

05/30/11

Two years ago, we needed a recession, including falling prices and wages, to reallocate wasted resources to more productive uses. But that would be cruel, we were told. Without 'rescue' and stimulus packages, we d have high unemployment for a year. But more than two years later, we still have high employment, and the Fed s attempts to reinflate the bubble have ensured that the economy is as fundamentally unsound now as back then. Meanwhile, price inflation has begun...

Die Kanzlerin spielt auf Zeit und hofft, die Kernkraftgegner zu spalten.
http://www.heise.de/tp/blogs/2/149920

--------

Wir AtomkraftgegnerInnen haben Grund zum Feiern: Sieben bis acht AKW werden endgültig stillgelegt. Damit war nicht nach der Bundestagswahl zu rechnen und schon gar nicht nach dem schwarz-gelben Beschluss vom Herbst 2010, das Atomrisiko zu verlängern. Dass es anders kommt, hat mit Schockwellen aus Japan zu tun - aber nicht nur. Es ist ein Erfolg der Anti-AKW-Bewegung, weil sich Hundertausende aktiv dafür eingesetzt haben, das Atomrisiko abzuschalten. Weil dadurch die Abschalt-Stimmung da war und der Druck auf die Bundesregierung, wirklich zu handeln. Ohne Druck tun sie das nicht.

Wir AtomkraftgegnerInnen haben Grund, wütend zu sein und weiter Druck auszuüben. Denn einen Atomausstieg hat die Bundesregierung überhaupt nicht vereinbart. Neun Atomkraftwerke sollen weiter laufen und unser Leben bedrohen. Was die Regierung als 'Atomausstieg bis 2021/2022' verkauft, ist eine Katastrophe, denn mit der Beibehaltung der Reststrommengen-Regelung ist das Atomrisiko nicht befristet. Die AKW-Betreiber können weiter mit Stromkontingenten jonglieren und so verhindern, dass eine ganze Reihe von Meilern zum jetzt angekündigten Zeitpunkt stillgelegt werden.

Eine genauere Analyse, was die Atom-Beschlüsse der Bundesregierung für die Anti-AKW-Bewegung und die Atomkraftwerke sowie die Zukunft von Gorleben bedeuten, kannst Du hier lesen: http://www.ausgestrahlt.de/hintergrundinfos/politische-analyse

Klar ist: Trotz des Erfolgs können wir nicht locker lassen.

Haftpflicht-Forderung als Anzeige veröffentlicht

Dass Atomkraftwerke ein untragbares Risiko darstellen, zeigt sich schon daran, dass sie gegen die Folgen eines Super-GAU nicht versichert sind - nicht versicherbar sind. Unsere Forderung 'Atomkonzerne in die Haftpflicht nehmen' setzt an diesem wunden Punkt an. Zur Minute fordern bereits 17.948 Personen: Atomkraftwerke ohne Versicherung müssen sofort stillgelegt werden. Finanziert mit Spenden von UnterzeichnerInnen verschaffen wir der Forderung große Öffentlichkeit mit einer Anzeige in der 'Süddeutschen Zeitung' von heute. Dort wird sie auch von den PolitikerInnen gelesen.

Demonstrieren heißt: Unmut zeigen

10 Jahre Stillstand beim Ausstieg? Ohne uns!
