The public really does not like the GOP

The American Prospect
by Jamelle Bouie

08/10/11

Given liberal despair over President Obama s political fortunes, you might think that we live in a world where the Republican Party is popular with voters. But you would be wrong. Despite their recent legislative success, Republicans have never been more unpopular than they are now...

The Dangerous Myth of American Military Omnipotence

William J. Astore, Truthout: 'A line at the tail end of Nicholas Schmidle s article in The New Yorker (August 8, 2011) on SEAL Team Six s takedown of Osama bin Laden captured the military zeitgeist of the moment. Upon meeting the SEAL team, President Obama gushed that the team was, 'literally, the finest small-fighting force that has ever existed in the world.' As a military historian, I was struck by the sweeping nature of that boast. The 'finest small-fighting force' ever in the history of the world? What about the Spartan 300 who gave their all at Thermopylae against the Persians, thereby saving Greek civilization for posterity?'

The Downgrading of America

Jim Hightower, Truthout: 'Many of us view the deficit ceiling brouhaha between the Obama White House and the laissez-fairy extremists in the Republican House as some combination of farce and fiasco. So much political playacting around a made-up deficit 'crisis' in order to avoid dealing with the real deficit that is crushing America s middle class and draining the lifeblood from our economy: the jobs deficit. But wait - before I could work out my anger over that fiasco, here came an even more incredible farce.'

Großbritannien erntet jetzt, was Frau Thatcher gesät hat

'Es wäre zu einfach, die in Großbritannien sichtbare Gewalt und die Plünderung einfach auf die schlimmen sozialen Verhältnissen zurück zu führen. Da kommt einiges zusammen. Aber die so genannte Eiserne Lady hat mit der Zerstörung des Zusammenhalts, mit dem Predigen von ökonomischem Egoismus und der Kommerzialisierung aller Lebensverhältnisse, mit der systematischen Schwächung der Arbeitnehmerschaft und damit der weiteren Trennung der britischen Gesellschaft in oben und unten den Boden für die Gewaltwelle bereitet...' Kommentar von Albrecht Müller auf den Nachdenkseiten vom 09.08.2011 http://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=10413

Aus dem Text: ?(...) Die Gewalt in Großbritannien ist ein Symbol für das Scheitern der konservativen Ideologie in ihrer werte-losen Ausprägung (siehe dazu auch den Artikel im Tagesanzeiger). In dem diese Konservativen die Herrschaft der Märkte und der Selbstbereicherung als Organisationsprinzip der Ökonomie gepredigt haben, haben sie zugleich ihre sonst so hoch gehaltenen eigenen Werte ruiniert. Indem sie ihre Herrschaft mithilfe von rücksichtslosen Medienunternehmern wie Murdoch durchgesetzt und gefestigt haben, haben sie die Lebensgrundlagen demokratischer Willensbildung zerstört. Indem sie den Kommerz bei den elektronischen Medien wie auch im Umgang mit öffentlichen Leistungen und öffentlichen Unternehmen durchgepaukt haben, zerstörten sie wichtige gemeinschaftsfördernde Einrichtungen. Dem Volk gehört nichts mehr, weder die Wasserwerke noch das Fernsehen, weder die Eisenbahn noch die Wohnungen...?

London Riots: Das Dossier bei Indymedia http://de.indymedia.org/2011/08/313618.shtml


Aus: LabourNet, 10. August 2011

--------

»Politik hat die Grundlagen für ?Riots? geliefert«

Unruhen in Großbritannien sind Ausdruck der Wut junger Menschen. Ein Interview von Christian Bunke mit Claire Laker Mansfield, welche für die Londoner Stadtteilorganisation »Youth Fight for Jobs« arbeitet, erschienen in der jungen Welt vom 11.08.2011. Der Artikel ist nur für Abonnenten freigeschaltet, findet sich aber auf Sozialismus-Info http://www.sozialismus.info/?sid=4376

Aus dem Text: ?(?)Was macht die »Youth Fight for Jobs« Kampagne und was sind ihre Forderungen? Wir haben uns 2008 zu Beginn der Wirtschaftskrise gegründet, um gegen Jugenderwerbslosigkeit und mangelnde Chancen für junge Leute zu kämpfen. Wir verlangen die sofortige Wiedereröffnung aller geschlossenen Jugendeinrichtungen und das Recht auf freie Bildung. Wir organisieren für kommenden Mittwoch eine gemeinsame Demonstration mit der Day-Mer-Jugend, einer türkisch/kurdischen Jugendorganisation im Londoner Stadtteil Tottenham. (?) Die Ausschreitungen zeigen die wachsende soziale Schieflage in Großbritannien. Die meisten Gewerkschaftsführer waren in den vergangenen Tagen sehr leise. Warum? Das stimmt zum großen Teil. Es gibt aber auch einige Ausnahmen. Die PCS, die Gewerkschaft der Staatsangestellten, hat ein Statement veröffentlicht. Darin wird detailliert über die tiefe Ungleichheit, die Kürzungen und andere Regierungsmaßnahmen berichtet, die zu der jetzigen Situation geführt haben. Es ist allerdings widerlich, daß der Generalsekretär des britischen Gewerkschaftsbundes TUC sich bis heute nicht zu den Unruhen geäußert hat??

Siehe dazu:

Youth Fight for Jobs

Die Organisation hat eine eigene Homepage, auf der Startseite sind die Hauptforderungen zusammengefasst: Das Recht auf einen menschenwürdigen Job für alle, mit einem existenzsichernden Lohn von 8 £ pro Stunde; Vernünftige Ausbildungsplätze mit einer Bezahlung nach Mindestlohn und einer Übernahmegarantie, Keine Studiengebühren? ? Zur Homepage http://www.youthfightforjobs.com/


Aufruhr in England: Kein Wunder, dass es knallt

'In den letzten Tagen übte eine verlorene Generation einen Krieg, den sie nicht gewinnen kann - und den auch die Politik verliert. Weil sie nur eine Antwort kennt: Draufhauen. Niemand kann sagen, es habe keine Warnungen gegeben. Am vorletzten Samstag stellte die internetaffine Tageszeitung «Guardian» einen kurzen Videofilm ins Netz, bestehend aus Interviews mit Jugendlichen in der Nordlondoner Gemeinde Haringey. Dort hatte gerade die von Labour dominierte Stadtverwaltung von einem Tag auf den anderen acht der dreizehn Jugendzentren geschlossen. Es war eine der vielen Sparmassnahmen, die die konservativ-liberale Regierung derzeit den Gemeinden aufzwingt. «Ich bin jeden Tag in den Youth Club gegangen», sagte ein Jugendlicher, der sein Gesicht in der Kapuze seines Pullovers verbarg, «aber wohin soll ich jetzt? Auf der Strasse rumlungern?» Doch das ist riskant, wie ein anderer Jugendlicher ausführte: «Je mehr Leute den Gangs beitreten, desto gefährlicher wird es für die, die nicht dazugehören.» Und dann sprach Chavez Campbell, ein kluger junger Schwarzer, der die Verhältnisse in seinem Armenviertel gut kennt, ganz offen in die Kamera: «Es wird ?riots? geben», Aufstände. (?) Auf den Strassen der Armenquartiere herrscht schon lange ein Krieg - ein verzweifelter und oft selbstzerstörerischer Kampf der Hoffnungslosen, der Ausgeschlossenen, der Missachteten, der Kids ohne Zukunft. Ein paar Nächte lang haben sie diesen Krieg nach aussen getragen und die Gelegenheit genutzt, sich das zu holen, was ihnen die kapitalistische Warenwelt als einzig Erstrebenswertes hinhält, das sie aber nie erreichen konnten.' Artikel von Pit Wuhrer in der WOZ vom 11.08.2011 http://www.woz.ch/artikel/2011/nr32/international/21032.html


Die Menschen hinter dem Zeug

Das Plündern bei den jetzigen Unruhen in vielen Städten mag nicht per se politisch sein, es sagt aber dennoch etwas über das Leben und die Psyche der Plünderer aus. Artikel von Zoe Williams auf Freitag vom 10.08.2011 http://www.freitag.de/politik/1132-die-menschen-hinter-dem-zeug

Aus dem Text: ?(?) 'Die Konsumgesellschaft basiert auf der Möglichkeit, sich an ihr zu beteiligen. Was wir heute als Konsumieren bezeichnen, ist ein Produkt von Arbeitszeitverkürzungen, Lohnerhöhungen und der Möglichkeit, Kredite aufzunehmen. Wenn man es mit einer Menge von Leuten zu tun hat, denen die letzten beiden Dinge nicht zur Verfügung stehen, funktioniert dieser Vertrag nicht. Anscheinend suchen sie sich Geschäfte mit Waren aus, die sie normalerweise gern konsumieren würden. Sie rebellieren also möglicherweise gegen das System, das ihnen keine Gratifikationen gewährt, weil sie sich diese nicht leisten können.' - Was geplündert wird, scheint von besonderer Bedeutung zu sein: Wenn sie es nur auf lebensnotwendige Dinge abgesehen hätten, würde man eher mit ihnen sympathisieren. Aber diese Leute sehen nicht aus, als würden sie Hunger leiden. Wären sie hinter exklusiveren Luxusartikeln her und würden bei Tiffany s und Gucci einfallen, wirkten sie politischer und dadurch respektabler. Ihre Achillesferse besteht darin, sich Dinge zu holen, die sie ganz offensichtlich haben wollen?'

Siehe dazu auch: Power Shopping

Die Plünderungen in London erinnern an Ereignisse in China vor 2 Jahren. Kommentar von Brigitte Werneburg in der taz vom 10.08.2011 http://www.taz.de/Kommentar-Pluenderungen/!76071/

Aus dem Text: '(?) Die Plünderungen und die Zerstörungswut scheinen die Rede von der kriminellen Energie zu bestätigen. - Als ob nicht in den harmlosen kleinen Ladenzeilen die tagtäglich erste Prüfung auf einen wartete. Auch der kleine Ladenbesitzer, bei dem man seine Milch kauft, kann einen mies behandeln. Wie existenziell vernichtet oder gut gelaunt man in den Alltag zieht, das entscheidet sich durchaus dort, wo es 'nur' um Konsum geht. 'Power Shopping' ist dafür ein sehr schöner, weil treffender Begriff, der das Vergnügen einer kaufkräftigen Mittelschicht benennt. Jetzt wollen offensichtlich mal die anderen wissen, wie es sich anfühlt, das Power Shoppen. Denn beim Shoppen - wie in der Begegnung mit Polizei und sonstiger staatlicher Bürokratie - erfährt man nun mal in unserer Gesellschaft, ob man zählt oder nicht?'

Why expand the drug war?

Future of Freedom Foundation

Here we go again. Amidst all the talk about out-of-control federal spending and debt, what does the U.S. government do? It goes out and spends more money by expanding the drug war in Mexico. Hey, when a federal program has failed to show any success after 40 years, what else would you expect federal officials to do, especially in the midst of a spending-and-borrowing crisis?

John R. Allen, stated, 'All of those killed in this operation were true heroes who had already given so much in the defense of freedom.' Freedom? Does Allen really believe such nonsense, or is it just the standard pabulum that the general feels he must express in order to assuage the feelings of the families and friends of the victims?

The Market Has Spoken: Austerity Is Bad for Business

Ellen Brown, Truthout: 'On Thursday, August 4, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 512 points, the biggest stock market drop since the collapse of September 2008. Why? Weren t the markets supposed to rebound after the debt ceiling agreement was reached on Monday, avoiding US default and a downgrade of US debt? So we were told, but the market apparently understands what politicians don t: the debt deal is a death deal for the economy. Reducing government spending by $2.2 trillion over a decade, as Congress just agreed to do, will kill any hopes of economic recovery. We're looking at a double-dip recession. The figure is actually more than $2.2 trillion.'

The Wisconsin Solution

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: 'It was, simply, one of the worst weeks in recent memory. They passed the debt-limit 'deal' in Congress and sent it out for signature by Mr. Obama, and the pen he used might as well have been a tiny little white flag of surrender. The financial markets here and abroad reacted to the unqualified mayhem of the debt-limit fight by going south like a duck in winter, and newspapers all across the country carried dire stories of a looming double-dip recession.'

Welfare state for the rich

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by Kevin Carson

08/05/11

Reading Gitz, you d get the impression that the main beneficiaries of the welfare state are working people and the poor. But genuine welfare for the poor, like TANF and food stamps, barely amounts to a CBO rounding error. Adding up the so-called 'defense' budget, two unfunded wars, 'national security' spending on DHS, CIA, DOE and NASA, and interest on debt from past wars, the bulk of the federal government s budget goes to welfare for the Military-Industrial Complex. Indeed, the dominant feature of the American polity is welfare for big business and the rich...

'There is one area in American policy where we are doing things disproportionate to the rest of the world. We don t give our older people more medical care, we don t have a better retirement, we don t spend more on the environment. Where America is disproportionate is our extraordinary willingness to be the military policemen for the whole world. ... We are spending well over $120 billion a year in Iraq and Afghanistan.

08/07/11

Anyone who has listened to the news knows there is endless bickering among politicians, among constituents, and among lobbying groups about the government s budget. Such squabbling represents the attempt to spend 'other' people's money on projects to which they would not ordinarily contribute. Whether the division of the spoils is decided by majority vote, or a political bribe, or a threatened veto, the point to understand is that the rightful owners of the money being spent no longer have authority over it. Some other person or group of persons has taken control...

Bosnia, Kosovo, and Now Libya: The Human Costs of Washington Ongoing Collusion With Terrorists

Peter Dale Scott, Japan Focus: 'Twice in the last two decades, significant cuts in U.S. and western military spending were foreseen: first after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and then in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. But both times military spending soon increased, and among the factors contributing to the increase were America s interventions in new areas: the Balkans in the 1990s, and Libya today. Hidden from public view in both cases was the extent to which al-Qaeda was a covert U.S. ally in both interventions, rather than its foe.'

South America Unites Against 'Irresponsible Debtors' in the North

Mario Osava, Inter Press Service: 'Default, insolvency, fiscal irresponsibility, debt crisis and similar terms form part of the vocabulary used to describe countries in the developing South in the 1980s and 1990s. A decade later, the world seems to have turned upside down. The 'irresponsible debtors' are now in the industrialised North, and the countries of South America, victims of the 'lost decade' of the 1980s and the subsequent financial crises, are now working hard to protect themselves against contagion from the crisis in the United States and Europe.'

USA: Wie faschistoides Gedankengut Amerikas Establishment durchdringt

Die Spuren der Bush-Ära sind im 'Land der Freien und Heimat der Tapferen' noch allgegenwärtig. Eine beklemmende Situation entstand, bei der viele Konservative auch nach dem Wahlkampf feindselig waren und blieben und den neu gewählten Präsidenten Obama zu blockieren versuchen. Es begann schon 2009, als eine unversöhnliche Opposition bei dem milliardenschweren Wirtschaftsrettungsplan geschlossen gegen ihn stimmte. Die Konservativen wollten am liebsten zurück in die Achtziger. Ein Bericht von Hans-Udo Sattler.

Obama on the Backs of the Poor

Ray McGovern, Consortium News: 'A huge majority of economists concede that America has been sliding into a land of haves and have-nots for the past several decades and that the 'deal' Obama signed into law on Tuesday will do little, if anything, to improve the lives of our fellow citizens deprived of work, shelter, medical care and other necessities. In sum, Obama - again put in a corner by Republicans who appeared ready to force the United States into default if they didn t get their way - reneged on a promise not to let the burden for coping with the economic/fiscal mess fall primarily on the backs of the poor.'

S.& P. Downgrades Debt Rating of U.S. For the First Time

Binyamin Appelbaum and Eric Dash, The New York Times News Service: 'Standard & Poor?s removed the United States government from its list of risk-free borrowers... a downgrade that is freighted with symbolic significance but carries few clear financial implications. The company, one of three major agencies that offer advice to investors in debt securities, said it was cutting its rating of long-term federal debt to AA+, one notch below the top grade of AAA. It described the decision as a judgment about the nation?s leaders.'

Mainstream Media Ignores S.& P. Attack On Republicans

Thom Hartmann, ThomHartmann.com: 'Could it be that many reporters - and virtually all of the television talking heads - are themselves relatively high income-earners who don t relish the idea of higher taxes? Or could it be that reporters are afraid that if they report the actual language of the S.& P. Research Report, then Republicans will punish them by denying them 'access' - i.e. refusing to show up on their programs - which is the career and show kiss-of-death for radio and TV programs that rely on big-name politicians to work?'
