Special Ops: The New Face of War

John Grant, This Can t Be Happening: 'How do you assure the security of a nation of human beings who consume a disproportionate amount of the world s resources, habitually live beyond their means and are addicted to all forms of fantasy from Bible-based delusion, to patriotism-based arrogance, to movie special effects that make ordinary human drama seem boring?.. The answer for the United States seems to be a growing concentration on what is known as Special Operations, which includes Special Forces, Seals and a host of other lethal military forces that emphasize mobility, efficiency, secrecy and unaccountability.'

Energiebosse ohne Energie

Die alten Energiekonzerne bekommen jetzt immer größere Probleme. Obwohl sie seit langem hätten wissen können, dass der Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie kommt, waren sie überhaupt nicht darauf vorbereitet. Noch weniger aber sind sie auf das absehbare Ende von Erdöl und Erdgas eingestellt. Das Hauptproblem von E.on, RWE, Vattenfall und EnBw ist nicht das Auslaufmodell Atomkraft, sondern die Kurzsichtigkeit und Zukunftsunfähigkeit ihrer Bosse.

Torture in the US Prison System: The Endless Punishment of Leonard Peltier

Preston Randolph and Dan Battaglia, Truthout: 'News reports from California s Pelican Bay Prison amplified the need for change, but after the three-week inmate hunger strike ended, the torture of solitary confinement continues nationwide... In 1977, American Indian activist Leonard Peltier was convicted of murdering two FBI agents during a shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Peltier has now served more than 35 years in federal prison. His trial remains one of the most controversial in the history of the American judicial system.'

Beschwerde vor dem Europäischen Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte gegen Hartz IV Sanktionsbescheid

Aktuell ist eine Beschwerde aufgrund eines Sanktionsbescheides nach nach § 31 SGB II gegen eine Hartz IV Bezieherin vor dem Europäischen Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte anhängig. Das zuständige Jobcenter hatte im Jahre 2007 die ALG II-Leistungen aufgrund der bloßen Mitteilung eines Mitarbeiters einer Zeitarbeitsfirma gekürzt, der gesagt hatte, die Betroffene habe den Job gar nicht haben wollen. Das habe er daraus geschlossen, dass sie gesagt habe, der Lohn sei ja niedriger als die Hartz-IV-Leistungen (was zutraf). Den ganzen Artikel lesen:

Unequal Regulation (for Corporations)

Thom Hartmann, Berrett-Koehler Publishers: 'There's a side to regulation that most people don t think about, and it has far-reaching effects if representatives of corporations are writing the rules.... The regulatory rule essentially legalizes what a corporation is doing. In the best of worlds, this wouldn t be a problem. But in practice it means that business interests are often directly involved in writing the regulations that they themselves will have to obey.'

Can the Corporate Media Turn Lies Into Truth?

Mark Karlin, Truthout: 'Watching 'Orwell Rolls in His Grave,' it becomes increasingly clear that we can t see the forest through the trees, because with the consolidation of for-profit corporate media, the forest of information is pretty much owned by just a few companies. And those companies not only frequently create 'facts' to enhance profits, but also create the frame through which public policy is debated to meet their business goals.'

The media is the enemy

08/17/11

The media is a reliable instrument of government just as surely as if it were an official agency, like the Voice of America: it is owned by corporate entities entirely dependent on the good graces of government officials, and whose natural inclinations are to cozy up to Power rather than challenge it. That s why the new internet-based media is so disturbing to these mandarins, whose opinions are no longer automatically elevated to holy writ...

S&P Downgrade Brought on by Republican Obstructionism

Jeff Madrick, New Deal 2.0: 'Does anyone really think that Standard & Poor's downgrade of US debt would have occurred unless there had been the Congressional stand-off on raising the debt ceiling? For all of S&P's handwringing about the nation's debt problems, Congressional recalcitrance was the driving issue. So when the press says neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can escape blame, it is in truth nonsense.'

Living by the sword

Authority!
by Timothy J Taylor

'Those who live by the sword will likely die by the sword a wise old saying goes. It was proved once again in Afghanistan last week when a U.S. military Chinook helicopter went down killing 30 elite American special operations soldiers. The U.S. military, and most of the U.S. media are still dancing and dodging around the facts and real cause behind the disaster; even though the Taliban took credit immediately...

Valuable lessons from federal spending and debt

Future of Freedom Foundation

08/10/11

Americans are getting some great lessons in both economics and history in the federal spending-debt crisis. Yesterday, the Federal Reserve announced that it definitely intends to keep interest rates low for two more years. Translation: We will inflate (and debase) the currency to whatever extent necessary to get the economy rolling again...

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?'

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...?

»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? ?

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?'

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
by Jacob G. Hornberger

08/09/11

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?

Surviving the inanity

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Richard Schwartzman

08/09/11

It s easy to be skeptical. Sometimes, though, you have to either laugh at the lunacy or go running into the ocean screaming, 'Get me out of here.' The United States is just few hundred billion dollars short of the national debt being 100 percent of GDP and is waging illegal wars in a handful of different countries. The 40-year-long war on drugs is still destroying civil liberties and local governments are telling people what they can and can t ingest...

Who is really downgrading America?

The American Conservative
by Patrick J. Buchanan

08/08/11

This downgrade is deeply deserved. For no one really believes the United States is going to pay its creditors back the $14 trillion it owes them, or the $21 trillion it will owe them at decade s end, with dollars of the same value as those that the United States is borrowing today...

The micro alternative

Adam Smith Institute
by Jan Boucek

08/09/11

Financial markets are brutal task masters. Three years ago, they forced due recognition that housing and real estate were over-inflated and over-indebted. This past week, they did the same with western government finances. In both cases, the message from the markets has been clear - we can?t go on like this anymore. Blame the markets for being rude about it but don t blame them for being wrong...

Those 30 American soldiers died for nothing

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

08/12/11

After those 30 American soldiers were recently killed in Afghanistan when their Chinook helicopter was downed by Afghan insurgents, the commander of the international mission in Afghanistan, Gen. 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?
