The Predicted Job Collapse Now in Progress

Jack Rasmus, Truthout: "While politicians and business press pundits last March-April were proclaiming the jobs crisis was over, the prediction came that 'March-April's Job Gains Will Collapse This Summer.' That prediction is now underway with the latest June jobs numbers from the US Department of Labor reported July 8 showing only 18,000 new hires occurring in June. The preceding May jobs report showed an almost as dismal 54,000 jobs created."

Kucinich: Debt Political Theater Diverts Attention While Americans' Wealth Is Stolen

Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) spoke on the House floor about the massive transfer of wealth from the American people to the hands of the few by virtue of wars, energy policies and monetary policies. He called upon Americans to witness Wall Street's theft of Main Street, which has left millions of everyday Americans out of work and seniors facing cuts to Social Security to pay for tax cuts for the rich.

War With Iran? US Neocons Aim to Repeat Chalabi-Style Swindle

Ali Fatemi and Karim Pakravan, Truthout: "In 1991, Iraqi exiles set up the Iraq National Congress (INC) with funding from the CIA. Under the leadership of Ahmad Chalabi, and flush with tens of millions dollars in US government funding, the INC allied itself with the neoconservatives in Washington and unceasingly beat the drums of war, presenting itself as the popular democratic alternative to Saddam Hussein and feeding faulty intelligence to an eager media and Bush administration. Eventually, they succeeded in dragging the United States into disastrous war that cost Americans and Iraqis their lives and caused incalculable damage to American prestige and power. Now, history may be repeating itself."

The Fall of the House of Murdoch

Jonathan Schell, Project Syndicate: "The Murdochs call News Corporation a journalistic enterprise. In fact, it is, first, an entertainment company, with the bulk of its revenue coming from its film and television holdings. Second, and more importantly, it is a propaganda machine for right-wing causes and political figures. This is News Corporation's main face in the US, in the form of Fox News, whose hallmark has been relentless propagation of right-wing ideology. Whereas political propaganda had once been the domain of governments and political parties, Fox News is formally independent of both - though it overwhelmingly serves the interests of America's Republican Party."

How Murdoch Reporters' Bribes to British Cops Violate US Law

Jake Bernstein, ProPublica: 'News International Limited, the British arm of the Murdoch empire, is a subsidiary of News Corp., a publicly traded American company which also owns the Wall Street Journal and Fox News (not to mention the Sunday Times of London, the Times of London, and the British tabloid the Sun). Because of this, experts say, News Corp. and all of its subsidiaries come under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a Watergate-era law which makes it a crime for U.S. companies to participate in bribery abroad.'

Stuttgarter Aufruf: Schluss mit der Abwälzung der Krisenlasten auf die Bevölkerung!

?Die Krise ist nicht vorbei. Sie wird derzeit auf die Bevölkerung
abgewälzt, aber sie wird dadurch nicht überwunden, sondern (im Gegenteil) verschärft reproduziert. Der ?deutsche Weg aus der Krise?, das ?Krisenmanagement des Burgfriedens zum Niederkonkurrieren anderer Volkswirtschaften?, löste die Probleme nur scheinbar und vorübergehend. Lohn- und Sozialdumping ermöglichen gewaltige Exportüberschüsse, aber sie
führen zu massiven Kaufkraftverlusten. Der ?Export-Überschuss-Ausweg? führt logischerweise zu unausgeglichenen Handelsbilanzen und damit zu
dramatischer Verschuldung der Importländer. Immer mehr Schulden werden
aufgehäuft, die niemals zurückgezahlt werden können. Die erzwungenen
Einsparmaßnahmen führen (in den Schuldnerländern noch mehr als in
Deutschland) zu zusammenbrechender Massenkaufkraft. So wird auch der
Export-Ausweg zugebaut und gleichzeitig die nächste Spekulationsblase
aufgebaut. Die Krise kommt mit doppelter Wucht zurück, als
Überproduktions- und als Finanzkrise?? Siehe den Stuttgarter Aufruf,

Wohlverstandener Materialismus - Fünf Anmerkungen zur politischen
Beziehung von Armut und Einkommen

»Mehr Geld« ? noch immer verströmt dies den Geruch des Niederen, ?bloß
Materiellen?, der falschen Anreize, gar Lebensziele. Dem schönen Schein
der materiellen Glücksversprechen auf den Leim gegangen zu sein, wird als
Kritik interessanterweise vor allem dann formuliert, wenn es um die
Lebensführung des modernen Pöbels und dessen Ausstattung mit »allgemeinem Äquivalent« geht. Wolfgang Völker untersucht die Motive dieser
politisch-moralischen Erziehungsveranstaltung. Der Beitrag ist ein
Vorabdruck aus der nächsten Ausgabe der Widersprüche, die unter dem Titel

Monsanto and the Gates Foundation Push GE Crops on Africa

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: 'Skimming the Agricultural Development section of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation web site is a feel-good experience: African farmers smile in a bright slide show of images amid descriptions of the foundation s fight against poverty and hunger. But biosafety activists in South Africa are calling a program funded by the Gates Foundation a 'Trojan horse' to open the door for private agribusiness and genetically engineered (GE) seeds, including a drought-resistant corn that Monsanto hopes to have approved in the United States and abroad.'

Gordon Brown Alleges Shuttered Murdoch Paper Hired 'Known Criminals'

John F. Burns, Jo Becker and Alan Cowell, The New York Times News Service: 'Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown brought new and alarming charges on Tuesday to the broadening scandal enveloping Rupert Murdoch s media empire in Britain, accusing one of the most prestigious newspapers in the group of employing 'known criminals' to gather personal information on Mr. Brown s bank account, legal files and tax affairs. The claims came a day after reports that two Murdoch newspapers may have bribed police officers or used other potentially illegal methods to obtain information about Queen Elizabeth II as well as Mr. Brown.'

The Fourth Estate is Bankrupt

Could the Non-Aggression Principle stop the Sixth Great Extinction?

Strike the Root
by Glen Allport

07/11/11

Unless you are a hard-core libertarian, you probably haven t heard much about the non-aggression principle, or NAP. That s a shame, because the NAP is what would have saved the world from the Fukushima nuclear disaster, from the BP Gulf of Mexico spill (and worse, the toxic response that followed), from the depleted-uranium-spewing wars and corrupt occupations the United States has been bankrupting itself with in the Middle East, and from other major disasters and systemic risks as well - had it only been widely understood and enforced...

Peace is profitable: time for the US to invest

Christian Science Monitor
by Michael Shank

07/11/11

Looking to save the world trillions of dollars? How about investing in peace and nonviolence? Australia s Institute for Economics and Peace recently released its 2011 Global Peace Index, citing a veritable 'who's who' of peaceful countries. It counted up the savings had the world been at peace: more than $8 trillion last year, and almost $38 trillion over the five years since the index was started. Think of what a country such as the United States - which does not fare well on the index - could do with that kind of change...

Trickle-Down Cruelty and the Politics of Austerity

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'The global recession has intensified the war on the American public, as professionals and politicians who make up a global business class now displace democracy with the call for austerity and, in doing so, produce a hidden order of politics in which the 'demand for the people s austerity hides processes of the uneven distribution of risk and vulnerability.' Under the guise of austerity, politically motivated attacks are now being waged on young people, low-skilled workers, the poor, African-Americans and the elderly.'

by Richard (RJ) Eskow

07/08/11

This isn t the first time the White House has floated the idea of Social Security cuts as part of a 'grand bargain' with Republicans, and it s not the first time there s been a groundswell of opposition. But that opposition has never crystallized so quickly into something deeper and more threatening to the President s political fortunes. Liberal pundits are turning against him and Democrats on the Hill are taking the fight directly to him. With a new poll confirming that Social Security cuts would alienate the other side's base and independents, this 'grand bargain' doesn t look like much of a bargain anymore...

Killer Drones Take the Place of War

Doug Noble, Truthout: 'What is different about this latest weapon of war that we oppose so strenuously?.. The answer is this: Killer drones are not primarily weapons of war, as usually defined, but instead are automated technologies designed for convenient, targeted killing or assassination outside of war zones. As mentioned, the usual targets are in countries we aren t at war with, far from usual areas of armed conflict.'

The Ideological Crisis of Western Capitalism

Joseph E. Stiglitz, Project Syndicate: 'Just a few years ago, a powerful ideology - the belief in free and unfettered markets - brought the world to the brink of ruin... I was among those who hoped that, somehow, the financial crisis would teach Americans (and others) a lesson about the need for greater equality, stronger regulation, and a better balance between the market and government. Alas, that has not been the case. On the contrary, a resurgence of right-wing economics, driven, as always, by ideology and special interests, once again threatens the global economy.'

Wenn die Gletscher schmelzen

Aufgrund der Klimaerwärmung hat die Mehrheit der Gletscher deutlich an Fläche und Masse verloren. Diese Entwicklung hat nicht nur dramatische Auswirkungen auf das Landschaftsbild im Hochgebirge, sondern birgt auch Gefahren wie Überschwemmungen und Erdrutsche.

Frontex soll eigenständige Grenzschutzpolizei werden

Weitgehend unbeachtet bleibt derzeit, dass die Abschottung der EU nach außen vorangetrieben wird.

Imagepflege der Grenzschützer. Frontex rettet keine Schiffsbrüchigen, sie produziert welche

Kommentar von Christian Jakob in der taz online vom 11.02.2013 http://www.taz.de/Kommentar-Frontex/!110767/

Aus dem Text: ''?Schiefer könnte das Bild kaum sein: Für diese so genannte ''Statistik'' dürfte die Bundesregierung kurzerhand alle Papierlosen, die Frontex aufgegriffen hat, zu ''Geretteten'' erklärt, sich aber bei den Toten einfach auf die Fälle beschränkt haben, mit denen deutsche Beamte direkt zu tun hatten. Die Zahlen von Stellen, die versuchen, europaweit alle Fälle zu erfassen, liegen stets im vierstelligen Bereich. Frontex setzt eine Ordnung durch, in der es nicht mehr möglich ist, regulär nach Europa zu kommen, um Schutz zu suchen. Die Fluchtwege sind zu. Frontex ist dafür da, dass das so bleibt. (?) In den ersten Jahren, nachdem Frontex gegründet wurde, gab es immer mehr Berichte über Menschenrechtsverletzungen durch die europäischen Grenzer: Migranten berichteten von Prügel, Misshandlungen, illegalen Zurückschiebungen, die Öffentlichkeit war irritiert, der Ruf von Frontex litt. Die EU setzte einen Menschenrechtsbeirat ein, um dafür zu sorgen, dass die Agentur ihre Arbeit künftig geräuschloser erledigt. Zu dieser Imagepflege gehört es auch, die Grenzer als Seenotretter hinzustellen, wie es die Bundesregierung jetzt tut?''
