Getting used to life without food

F. William Engdahl

The record rise in grain and food prices in recent years is not a mere Wall Street profit gimmick, although obscene profits are being made. Rather, it is apparently an integral part of a long-term strategy whose roots go back to the years just after World War Two when Nelson Rockefeller and his brothers tried to organize the global food chain along the same monopoly model they had used for world oil. Food would henceforth become just another commodity like oil or tin or silver whose scarcity and price could ultimately be controlled by a small group of powerful trading insiders. In short, the use of farmland worldwide for bio-ethanol and other biofuels - burning the food product rather than using it for human or animal feed - is being treated in Washington, the EU, Brazil and other major centers as a major new growth industry. The impact on human beings, however, is quite the opposite. It is rapidly becoming a death industry, death of million s of innocent human beings unable to afford adequate nourishment for themselves or their families.

Prinovis-Demo gegen das System Bertelsmann

26.9. Demo gegen Bertelsmann

'Die Vereinte Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft (ver.di) ruft für morgen, 26. September, Beschäftigte aus ganz Deutschland zu einer Kundgebung vor der Hauptstadtdependance der Bertelsmann-Stiftung auf. Teilnehmen werden unter anderem Streikende der Bertelsmann-Tiefdruckerei Prinovis Nürnberg. Dort kämpfen die Beschäftigten für einen Anerkennungs- und Sozialtarifvertrag. Zuvor hatte die dortige Geschäftsleitung angekündigt, bis zu 140 von 200 Be-schäftigten kündigen zu wollen, die sich geweigert hatten, in einem betrieblichen Bündnis unbezahlte Mehrarbeit zu leisten und auf Gehaltsbestandteile zu verzichten. Dadurch sollte eine vermeintliche Arbeitsplatzsicherheit erzielt werden. 'Auch in anderen zu Bertelsmann gehörenden Unternehmen werden die Kolleginnen und Kollegen erpresst, untertarifliche Beschäftigungsbedingungen zu akzeptieren', kritisierte der stellvertretende ver.di-Vorsitzende Frank Werneke. (?) An der Kundgebung nehmen darüber hinaus auch Beschäftigte aus ehemaligen Betrieben von o2 und der Telekom teil, die von Arvato übernommen worden waren und deren Arbeitsbedingungen im Zuge der Übernahme ebenfalls drastisch verschlechtert wurden. Der Demonstrationszug wird begleitet von der Bläsergruppe 'Fanfara Kalashnikov'. Am Kundgebungsort selber wird um ca.
13:30 Uhr eine Luftballontraube ein Bertelsmann-kritisches Banner fliegen lassen. Neben Frank Werneke sprechen Betriebsräte der einzelnen Unternehmen.' Bericht von 'Klassensolidarität stärken' vom 25.09.2011 bei indymedia http://de.indymedia.org/2011/09/316829.shtml

Obamanomics: It s worse than you think

The official unemployment rate is back up to more than 9 percent, and the percent of workers who are unemployed or have given up trying to find jobs is higher than it was during the Great Depression. George W. Bush may have owned the Great Recession of 2008?2009, but Barack Obama owns the Second Great Depression of 2011. His policies - call them Obamanomics - are to blame...

Big Business has a tin ear for customer feedback, a result of lifeless, bureaucratic hierarchies that make effective communication impossible - or nearly so.

Washington s war fever breaks

The American Conservative
by Andrew J. Bacevich

06/28/11

Nearly 10 years have passed since Washington set out to redeem the Greater Middle East. The crusades have not gone especially well. In fact, in the pursuit of its saving mission, the American messiah has pretty much worn itself out. Today, the post-9/11 fever finally shows signs of abating. The evidence is partial and preliminary. The sickness has by no means passed. Oddly, it lingers most strongly in the Obama White House, of all places, where a keenness to express American ideals by dropping bombs seems strangely undiminished...

Aus dem Text: '? Der offizielle Grund lautet: Die Bundesregierung nimmt Rücksicht auf die Wähler, den deutschen Steuerzahlern sei Hilfe für Athen kaum zu vermitteln. Das mag stimmen. Aber folgt die Regierung wirklich sklavisch dem Willen der Wähler? Wenn dem so wäre (und die Umfragen stimmten), dann gäbe es in Deutschland wohl einen flächendeckenden Mindestlohn, die Bundeswehr wäre raus aus Afghanistan, Stuttgart 21 würde nicht gebaut, es hätte weder je Hilfen für Griechenland gegeben noch überhaupt je den Euro, mit dem sich die Mehrheit der Deutschen nie so recht anfreunden konnte?'

Ensuring that these government missions are done in an effective and efficient manner is essential because of all the various internal agendas, problems of self-dealing and the constant revolving door by which private interests of small groups are injected into public policies. The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) is the official place they must look to for such protection, but this office is absolutely failing its stated role.'

Alleen Brown, In These Times: 'Indians cannot sell or lease their trust land without federal approval, and the government is supposed to distribute any revenues earned from the land (through leasing to farmers, railroads, mining companies and other private interests) to the individual landowners. As soon as the first allottees died, the government began dividing property among their descendents. But heirs did not inherit pieces of land with specific boundaries. Instead, they inherited fractions of the title - a title held in trust by the federal government. This system leaves most allotment heirs with tiny, in effect unusable, fractions of ownership.'

Zum 8. Existenzminimumbericht der Bundesregierung, der auch die Höhe des Regelsatzes bei Hartz IV betrifft, erklärt die stellvertretende Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Katja Kipping:

Das Finanzministerium legt mit seinem Bericht das Existenzminimum fest. Auch dieser Bericht ist vom Bestreben geprägt, das Existenzminimum kleinzurechnen. Dieses wird nach Kassenlage festgesetzt und folgt der Einsparungslogik. Das Grundrecht auf die Sicherung der Existenz und gesellschaftlichen Teilhabe hat sich aber nicht an der Kassenlage sondern am notwendigen Bedarf zu orientieren. Der Existenzminimumbericht ist kein Fall für das Haus Schäuble. Er gehört in die Hände einer unabhängigen Fachkommission.

Existenzminimum darf nicht nach Kassenlage berechnet werden

Die stellvertretende Vorsitzende der LINKEN, Katja Kipping, kritisiert die geplante Anhebung des Hartz-IV-Regelsatzes um lediglich zehn Euro im Jahr 2012 als unzureichend. Das Existenzminimum werde nach Kassenlage berechnet.Die Vorsitzende des Sozialausschusses im Bundestag fordert die Einrichtung einer unabhängigen Expertenkommission zur Berechnung des Regelsatzes. Kipping erklärt:

Eine Anhebung des Regelsatzes um lediglich zehn Euro wäre vollkommen ungenügend. Es liegt auf der Hand, dass die grundlegenden Mängel der Regelsatzberechnung nicht behoben worden sind. Mit allen Mitteln wird das Existenzminimum kleingerechnet und nach Kassenlage festgelegt.

Das Grundrecht auf die Sicherung der Existenz und gesellschaftlichen Teilhabe hat sich aber nicht an der Kassenlage sondern am notwendigen Bedarf zu orientieren. Das Existenzminimum ist kein Fall für die Ministerialbürokratie. Die Prüfung und Berechnung des Regelsatzes gehört in die Hände einer unabhängigen Expertenkommission.

15. Juni 2011

Am vergangenen Wochenende fand in einem Luxushotel in St.Moritz
(Schweiz) das diesjährige Bilderbergtreffen statt. Die Frankfurter Rundschau berichtete recht ausführlich und kritisch. Die Bilderberg-Gruppe ist ein elitärer Zirkel, der seit 1954 Top-Eliten aus Europa und den USA zusammen bringt - Wirtschaftsbosse und Strategen treffen auf handverlesene Politiker und Journalisten. Die deutschen Teilnehmer waren der offiziellen Teilnehmerliste zufolge: Der Chef der Deutschen Bank Joseph Ackermann, der Airbus-Manager Thomas Enders, der Präsident der Siemens AG Peter Löscher, der Chefredaktuer der 'Zeit' Matthias Nass, sowie der SPD-Politiker Peer Steinbrück.

Haitians Challenge Monsanto s Influence

Beverly Bell, Other Worlds: Last week, thousands of farmers and supporters of Haitian peasant agriculture marched for hours under the hot Caribbean sun to call for more government support for locally grown seeds and agriculture. The demonstration was organized by the Peasant Movement of Papay and other farmer associations, human rights and women s groups, and the Haitian Platform for Alternative Development (PAPDA), the Haitian online agency AlterPresse reported from the march. The official theme of the peaceful demonstration was 'Land Grabbing is Endangering Agricultural Sovereignty.'

The Unanswered Question in Afghanistan Is, Why?

Jim Hightower, Truthout: 'So why have two presidents and a decade of Congress dumped so many lives and so much money into a country that poses no threat to us? Afghanistan is an impoverished, anarchic, largely illiterate land that s split into ancient tribal factions and innumerable fiefdoms controlled by rival warlords. They have no desire or ability to attack us, some 8,000 miles away. The only reason we are given for being in Afghanistan is that we must keep the al-Qaeda terrorists network from establishing bases there.'

Americans don t pay government for the ''privilege'' of being Americans

QandO
by Bruce McQuain

02/25/12

I can t think of a quote that more starkly differentiates the philosophies of right and left than Geithner s. At its base it points to a philosophy that puts the state and collectivism before the individual and liberty. It is the polar opposite of the philosophy on which this country was founded. It is a mindset which must constantly be exposed and rejected. We, as Americans, don t pay anyone for any such 'privilege,' and certainly not government...

Last week she was even treated to one of Matt Taibbi's gonzo wrecking jobs in Rolling Stone that made essentially the same point - she s bonkers, man. Whacko. Cuckoo.

Travis Waldron, ThinkProgress: 'Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) formally kicked off her presidential campaign yesterday, painting herself as a Tea Party candidate who is ready to lead the country back to prosperity (even if her former chief of staff doesn t think so). Today, in classic Tea Party form, Bachmann reiterated her long-held belief that a federally mandated minimum wage is a job-killing federal regulation that may need to be abolished.'

Sen. Bernie Sanders: 'Mr. President, this is a pivotal moment in the history of our country. In the coming days and weeks, decisions will be made about our national budget that will impact the lives of virtually every American in this country for decades to come. At a time when the richest people and the largest corporations in our country are doing phenomenally well, and, in many cases, have never had it so good, while the middle class is disappearing and poverty is increasing, it is absolutely imperative that a deficit reduction package not include the disastrous cuts in programs for working families, the elderly, the sick, the children and the poor that the Republicans in Congress, dominated by the extreme right wing, are demanding.'

'Fritz Vilmar, Professor für Politische Wissenschaften an der Freien Universität Berlin, warnte die Gewerkschaftsführung schon 1975 auf dem Gipfel der damaligen Weltwirtschaftskrise vor den Folgen unterlassener kollektiver Arbeitszeitverkürzungen. Reine Wachstumsstrategien würden zukünftig eine vollbeschäftigte Wirtschaft nicht mehr garantieren können. Die Produktivitätsraten überstiegen die realen Wachstumsraten, so daß selbst bei einem demographisch konstanten Arbeitsangebot das gesamtwirtschaftliche Arbeitsvolumen zurückgehen werde. 1983 wiederholte Vilmar noch einmal die Warnung: »Wenn schwerwiegende Gefährdungen unserer Gesellschaft vermieden werden sollen, muß (?) in Zukunft Arbeitszeitverkürzung das wesentliche Mittel sein, um den jetzt und künftig Arbeitslosen die Möglichkeit zu geben, sich wieder in den Arbeitsprozeß eingliedern zu können.« Er sollte mit seinen Warnungen Recht behalten??

Um von dem Image-GAU ihres einstigen Prestigeprojekts abzulenken, dreht Ministerin von der Leyen an der Stigmatisierungsschraube. Eltern sollen zum Hartz-IV-Outing über eine aufsuchende Sozialarbeit gezwungen werden. Dabei werden die zweifelhaften Segnungen des Bildungs- und Teilhabepakets häufig deshalb nicht genutzt, weil die Eltern nicht wollen, dass die Vereine erfahren, dass ihre Kinder auf Hartz IV angewiesen sind, oder sie nicht die Fahrtkosten zum Vereinsangebot aufbringen können.

Das Bürokratiemonster mit Stigmatisierungseffekten versagt, eine eigenständige Kindergrundsicherung zur Absicherung der Existenz und Teilhabe der Kinder und Jugendlichen muss her.

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: 'The increasing fusion of news and entertainment, the rise of a class of celebrity journalists on television who define reporting by their access to the famous and the powerful, the retreat by many readers into the ideological ghettos of the Internet and the ruthless drive by corporations to destroy the traditional news business are leaving us deaf, dumb and blind. The relentless assault on the 'liberal press' by right-wing propaganda outlets such as Fox News or by the Christian right is in fact an assault on a system of information grounded in verifiable fact.'

What the entire speculative edifice allows is the transfer of price risk from the producer and consumer to the speculators in between. So if your concern is that the poor are damaged by food price variability (which they indeed are) then the sensible thing to do is subsidise the poor s access to the speculative edifice so that they can transfer that risk of food price variability to the speculators. Not, as the NGOs and the French President are doing, scweam and scweam that it s all evil and should be banned...

A few years ago there was a discussion among foreign policy wonks about whether America should ditch its anti-imperialist heritage entirely and become an empire. I had to laugh at this 'debate,' for America has been an empire in fact if not in form since the end of World War II, and is now reaching the pinnacle of its power. Which is to say: it s downhill all the way from this point. The American empire may be expanding, but the economic foundations on which it rests are in fatal disrepair...

He is re-inflating the previously-sagging government ideology. This is a boon to the system and the status quo, which depends completely upon public support for its continued existence.

A war the neocons lost

Make no mistake. Obama is headed for the exit ramp, and the Karzai government and Afghan army will not succeed where that same government and army, backed by 150,000 U.S. and NATO troops, could not succeed. McCain and the neocons will blame what is coming, a terrible day in Kabul and across Afghanistan, on those who refused to soldier on, no matter the cost in blood and treasure. But the people who should be indicted by history are not those who, after half a trillion dollars and a decade of bleeding, decided to cut America s losses, but those who stampeded this country into two of the longest and least necessary wars in the history of the republic...

Wallow Fire ~ Special Request from our Native Brothers and Sisters

Sent from a 'Navajo sister' to all of us.

The Wallow Fire in Arizona, the largest in Arizona history, is still only half contained. The fire has destroyed everything in its path, over a half million acres so far. Not only are our tribal lands at stake (White Mountain & San Carlos Apaches, possibly Zuni, and some Navajo areas), but our non-native friends also need our help.

All the choppers, manpower, planes, and bulldozers are not enough. They need our help.

We are one Nation as Natives and our traditional prayers to the Creator as Natives can be very powerful, especially when we all connect our minds, hearts and our prayers across the miles and pray.

Please join us in a tribal prayer to help the firefighters and all involved. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now, please stop for a few minutes and raise your hands to the Creator to ask for help:

'I pray so the winds stop and the rains start (without lightning please). I pray for the safety of all humans, birds and animals. I ask for heavenly walls to protect our land and animals from fire'.

If your spiritual preference is not traditional, pray with us in however way you talk to the Creator.

If all of you can forward this message across the Nations, we can reach many thru phone and internet. Please start forwarding ASAP to reach as many as we can.

Thank you,

Dorothea Stevens,
San Carlos Apache Nation

Robert Skidelsky, Project Syndicate: 'For liberals, free speech is a key index of freedom. Democracies stand for free speech; dictatorships suppress it. When we in the West look outward, this remains our view. We condemn governments that silence, imprison, and even kill writers and journalists... Yet freedom of speech in the West is under strain.'
