From India to Israel, Brazil to Bangladesh, Chile to Russia, no nation will escape the economic fallout and few will escape the political consequences.

Frank Joseph Smecker and Derrick Jensen, Truthout: 'With an entire planet being slaughtered before our eyes, it's terrifying to watch the very culture responsible for this - the culture of industrial civilization, fueled by a finite source of fossil fuels, primarily a dwindling supply of oil - thrust forward wantonly to fuel its insatiable appetite for 'growth.' Deluded by myths of progress and suffering from the psychosis of technomania complicated by addiction to depleting oil reserves, industrial society leaves a crescendo of atrocities in its wake.'

Der aktuelle UN-Bericht 'Abschließende Betrachtungen des Ausschusses über wirtschaftliche, soziale und kulturelle Rechte' kritisierte die Sozialpolitik der Bundesregierung. Insbesondere wird bei den Hartz IV Gesetzgebungen darauf hingewiesen, die Zumutbarkeitsregeln ('jede zumutbare Arbeit annehmen') und die 'unbezahlte gemeinnützige Arbeit' die Vertragsbedingungen der Vereinten Nationen verstoßen.

Hartz IV wird ständig geändert

Ständig werden die Hartz IV Gesetze und Verordnungen geändert. Es vergehen keine sechsWochen, ohne dass sich Betroffene und Behördenmitarbeiter mit einer neuen Gesetzeslage befassen müssen. Galt eine Regelung vor einigen Wochen noch als gültig, kann es morgen schon wieder ganz anders aussehen. Während Erwerbslosen-Initiativen die ständig neuen Drangsalierungen sowie die systematischen Unterdeckungen der ALG II-Regelleistungen kritisieren, plädiert das Vorstandsmitglied der Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Heinrich Alt dafür, die Neuregelungen zu bündeln und erst in größeren Zeitabständen umzusetzen.

Freedom's Phoenix
by Stephen Lendman

Military spending affects debt, interest rates, jobs, and investment. While defense related employment increases, more productive sectors lose out, resulting in a net overall macroeconomic loss. Also, while military infrastructure grows, public infrastructure and investment spending suffer, creating what some call an 'infrastructure deficit,' markedly increasing in the last decade to fuel America's war machine...

For months, the pundits and Washington think-tank know-it-alls have been in a tizzy: who do these unwashed peasants think they are? But of course we?ve got to raise the debt ceiling -- after all, what about the 'full faith and credit' of the United States? Don?t these denizens of flyover country realize they don?t have a choice in the matter? And now, with unmistakable finality, Wall Street has spoken in the form of Moody?s and S&P, the bonds rating agencies, which are threatening to downgrade US bonds if Congress fails to raise the limit. This should give the ordinary American a clue as to what is at stake here, and who is on what side: it?s the Washington insiders and Wall Street versus the people of the United States -- and the stakes are the fate of the nation...

Beau Hodai, In These Times: "On February 25, 2011, Florida State Representative Chris Dorworth (R-Lake Mary) introduced HB 1021. Given the similarities between HB 1021 and a rash of like-minded bills in states across the country, including Wisconsin, on March 30 a public records request was sent to Dorworth's office seeking copies of all documents pertaining to the writing of HB 1021, including copies of any pieces of model legislation the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) may have provided."

GOP Dogma on Taxes, Spending and Revenue vs. the Facts

Robert Borosage, The Campaign for America's Future: "Conservatives say they are prepared to blow up the economy by not lifting the debt limit if that is what it takes to avoid raising taxes on the rich - even to avoid closing loopholes that have hedge fund billionaires paying a lower tax rate than their chauffeurs. Nonsense. First, neither tax hikes nor spending cuts should take place until the economy gets going. Finally, this basic conservative article of faith is simply not supported by evidence."

In fact, neither party intends to cut spending in 2011, or 2012, or 2013. Instead, the current potlatch measures which side will promise deeper 'cuts' to take effect in eight or 10 years. In the political world, this is the equivalent of promising to cut spending sometime after the Martians land, or when continental drift creates a land bridge between Honolulu and Tokyo, whichever comes first...

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."

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.'

?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

The debt ceiling and the warfare state

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

07/13/11

In any event, on the debt limit issue, the stance of those who want a more peaceful, less interventionist foreign policy is - or ought to be -- clear. If we raise the debt ceiling, we are, in effect, giving the War Party a blank check. The pressure to cut military spending will end, and the spigot will be turned back on. Calls to cut back on military operations overseas - coming, these days, from fiscal conservatives as well as the usual liberal-left suspects - will have much less resonance in Washington...

Is the Obama National Security Team a Pilotless Drone?

Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: 'The Global War on Terror (or GWOT in acronym-crazed Washington) was the bastard spawn of the disorientation and soaring hubris of the days after the 9/11 attacks, which set afire the delusional geopolitical dreams of Bush, Cheney, their top national security officials, and their neocon supporters. And here s the saddest thing: the Bush administration s most extreme ideas when it comes to GWOT are now the humdrum norm of Obama administration policies - and hardly anyone thinks it s worth a comment.'

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.'

Strike the Root
by Glen Allport

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...

A president on the verge of a political breakdown

Our Future Blog
by Richard (RJ) Eskow

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...
