Schwerbewaffnete Söldner sollen deutsche Schiffe schützen

?Somalische Seeräuber gefährden den Welthandel ? die Bundesregierung
arbeitet deshalb an einem neuen Konzept für den Schutz deutscher Schiffe:
Einsätze privater Sicherheitsfirmen sollen erleichtert werden, auch mit
schweren Waffen. (?) Bereits vor Monaten hatte die Bundesregierung eine
Kommission aus Experten mehrerer Ministerien gebildet, die intensiv mit
den deutschen Reedern verhandelt. Seit Jahren verlangen die Reeder einen
besseren Schutz deutscher Schiffe, lange schwebte ihnen die temporäre
Stationierung von Soldaten oder Polizisten auf den Tankern und
Containerschiffen vor. Den Einsatz privater Sicherheitsfirmen lehnten die
Reeder lange ab, da sie die Kosten für Söldner auf den Schiffen scheuten.
Zudem wären diese nicht befugt, schwere Waffen an Bord zu bringen. Genau
an diesem Punkt will die Koalition nun ansetzen. Im Gespräch sind neue
Regelungen im Waffenrecht, die den Einsatz von Sicherheitsfirmen mit
schweren Waffen ermöglichen soll. Da die weltweit agierenden Agenturen ?
etwa die Nachfolgerfirma des skandalumwitterten US-Unternehmens Blackwater oder die Firma Dyncorps ? jedoch undurchschaubar und
schwer kontrollierbar sind, will die Bundesregierung bei der Auswahl der Firmen ein Mitspracherecht haben?? Artikel auf Spiegel-Online vom 17.08.2011
http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/0,1518,780816,00.html

Bundesregierung will Krieg und Gewalt privatisieren. Attac verurteilt
Pläne zum Einsatz von Söldnerfirmen

Pressemitteilung von Attac Deutschland vom 18.08.2011
http://www.pressrelations.de/new/standard/result_main.cfm?pfach=1&n_firmanr_=109361&sektor=pm&detail=1&r=462904&sid=&aktion=jour_pm&quelle=0

die Anmerkung von Jens Berger auf den Nachdenkseiten vom 18.08.2011:
?Diese Meldung ist an Absurdität kaum zu übertreffen. Mehr als 3.000 der
rund 3.600 Schiffe deutscher Reeder fahren nicht unter der deutschen
Flagge, da man keine Steuern an den deutschen Staat abführen will und mit
Billigflaggen Arbeitnehmerschutzrechte, Tariflöhne und Sicherheitsauflagen
außer Kraft gesetzt werden. Nach internationalem Recht sind die
Containerschiffe und Tanker, um die es hier geht, Hoheitsgebiet dieser
Billigflaggenstaaten. Für die Frage, ob Söldner ihren Dienst an Bord
dieser Schiffe ausüben dürfen, sind somit so schillernde Staaten wie
Liberia, Antigua und Barbuda, die Marschall-Inseln oder Belize zuständig.
Der Umstand, dass sich Berlin über diese glasklaren Zuständigkeiten
hinwegsetzt, ist nicht weniger als ein eklatanter Bruch des Völkerrechts ?
anstatt dafür Sorge zu tragen, dass deutsche Reeder ihre Schiffe wieder
unter deutscher Flagge fahren lassen, unterstützt Berlin die Steuerflucht
der Branche.?

How safe is the US?

Asia Times
by Chris Hellman

08/18/11

Regardless of what figures you choose to use, one thing is certain: we'
are talking about trillions and trillions of dollars. And given the debate raging in Washington this summer about how to rein in trillion-dollar deficits and a spiraling debt, it s surprising that no one thinks to ask just how much safety bang for its buck the US is getting from those trillions...

Symptoms of the Bush-Obama Presidency

David Bromwich, TomDispatch: 'Is it too soon to speak of the Bush-Obama presidency? The record shows impressive continuities between the two administrations, and nowhere more than in the policy of 'force projection' in the Arab world. With one war half-ended in Iraq, but another doubled in size and stretching across borders in Afghanistan; with an expanded program of drone killings and black-ops assassinations, the latter glorified in special ceremonies of thanksgiving (as they never were under Bush); with the number of prisoners at Guantanamo having decreased, but some now slated for permanent detention; with the repeated invocation of 'state secrets' to protect the government from charges of war crimes; with the Patriot Act renewed and its most dubious provisions left intact - the Bush-Obama presidency has sufficient self-coherence to be considered a historical entity with a life of its own.'

Obama s new low

Independent Institute
by Anthony Gregory

08/18/11

Only a year or so ago, every failure was to be blamed on George W. Bush. For the first half a year in office, the president reminded us of the mess that his predecessor left. After that, he would simply point out that this mess was bigger than anyone seemed to realize. Now that isn t working so well, so his excuses are the happenings in the markets, global tensions, partisan bickering, unpredictable fluctuations in the economy, natural disasters - you know, all the stuff he was elected promising to have more capacity to command than the last guy.'

Why the Mainstream Media Are Clueless About the Religious Right

Adele M. Stan, AlterNet: 'Though it has shaped American politics for the last 40 years, the religious right still baffles reporters. Every four years, just as a presidential campaign kicks up, legions of media types who make their living outside the right-wing echo chamber emerge as a militia of Margaret Meads, descending on flyover country, trying to make sense of that exotic phenomenon, the religious right. In the end, those who actually get it are few.'

One of Texas Governor Rick Perry s oft-touted strengths in the Republican primary is his demonstrated prowess at fundraising. Less widely known is how he has raised that money and what he has done in return for it. According to Texas good government and environmental watchdogs, Perry has raised much of his campaign funds from business executives who have financial interests in state government decisions. Often Perry s supporters come from the energy sector and Perry s help for them has come at the expense of the environment...

Shani O. Hilton, Colorlines.com: 'To the surprise of no one, Texas Governor Rick Perry announced he d be running for the Republican presidential nomination last weekend. As we have covered before, Perry has been getting his ideological ducks in a row for some time now, even becoming more draconian on immigration issues. Back in 2001, Perry signed the Texas DREAM act - the country's first law of that kind - and while he still supports it, he s now putting money toward more border security and pushing laws that would force towns to monitor undocumented immigrants.'

Financial gains over the last decade in the United States have been mostly made at the 'tippy-top' of the economic food chain as more people fall out of the middle class.

Looting frenzy

CounterPunch
by Linh Dinh

08/17/11

Our banking system makes money out of nothing, lends us cash that it doesn t even have, and with Washington as its protector and enforcer, ensures that what we own is worth less and less, while we must work more and more to make payment after unending payment, with compounding interest, penalties, fees and whatever else it feels like tagging on at the end. The Federal Reserve, then, is not an institution with 'public purposes and private aspects,' but exactly the opposite. Like our federal government itself, it is a cartel with ruthless, private objectives hidden behind a public facade...

Artikel von Flora Wisdorff in Die Welt online vom 14.08.2011 http://www.welt.de/wirtschaft/article13544116/Ungewoehnliche-Koalition-gegen-Ein-Euro-Jobs.html

Aus dem Text: '? In einem Brief an die Unionsfraktion werben die Sozialpartner deshalb nun für einen Änderungsantrag zu dem Gesetz. Demzufolge soll ein Ausschuss gebildet werden, der aus den örtlichen Arbeitgeber- und Arbeitnehmerorganisationen besteht, und 'die kommunalen Träger hinsichtlich der Förderkontingente und der Einsatzfelder öffentlich geförderter Beschäftigungsmaßnahmen' berät. Sofern ein Einvernehmen nicht erzielt werden könne, 'besitzen beide Sozialparteien ein Vetorecht', schlagen BDA und DGB vor?'

Is the Ballooning Military Budget Keeping You Safe?

Chris Hellman, TomDispatch: 'The killing of Osama Bin Laden did not put cuts in national security spending on the table, but the debt-ceiling debate finally did. And mild as those projected cuts might have been, last week newly minted Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta was already digging in his heels and decrying the modest potential cost-cutting plans as a 'doomsday mechanism' for the military. Pentagon allies on Capitol Hill were similarly raising the alarm as they moved forward with this year s even larger military budget.'

Wisconsin Votes on Recall of Two Democratic State Senators

Michael Muskal, The Los Angeles Times: 'Voters went to the polls Tuesday to decide two Wisconsin state Senate races, the latest battle in the national fight over curbing the role of unions representing public employees. The two special elections, seeking to recall two Democrats, are the final steps in the fierce fight over Gov. Scott Walker s proposal to limit collective bargaining rights for many public employees. Sens. Jim Holperin and Robert Wirch, were among the Democrats who fled the state for weeks earlier this year in an unsuccessful effort to prevent the Legislature from passing Walker s package of bills seen by their party as being anti-labor.'

http://www.truth-out.org/wisconsin-votes-recall-two-democratic-state-senators/1313517042



Is Scott Walker John Doe?

Mary Bottari, Campaign for America s Future: 'Wisconsin has been riveted in recent days by reports that more of Governor Scott Walker s top aides may be implicated in a secret 'John Doe' investigation into potentially illegal campaign practices during Walker's 2010 gubernatorial race. Although the investigation has been underway for at least a year, recent revelations that the governor s spokesperson has been granted immunity and that another top aide had her house raided by the FBI, has the state abuzz with speculation about the target and scope of the investigation.'

Bachmann Iowa Straw Poll Win Signals Early Tea Party Role in Shaping GOP Primary

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'The race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination heated up this weekend as Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll and Texas Gov. Rick Perry formally announced his candidacy.... We speak with Sarah Posner, senior editor of Religion Dispatches, who spent the weekend covering the poll in Iowa for The Nation magazine. 'Bachmann is, much more than the rest of them, going to use the language, the sort of rhetoric and ideology that she learned at Oral Roberts [University] to meld the fiscal conservatism, small government message with her religious message,' Posner says.'

http://www.truth-out.org/bachmanns-iowa-straw-poll-win-signals-early-tea-party-role-shaping-gop-primary/1313514473



Straw Poll Winner: Obama

Eugene Robinson, The Washington Post Writers Group: 'The emergence of Bachmann and Perry as Romney s chief rivals has shifted the GOP contest sharply to the right. This may fire up the Republican base, but it may also turn off independents who have made clear their distaste for uncompromising partisanship.'

The most destructive and devastating war in American history

Liberty For All
by R. Lee Wrights

08/14/11

The most destructive and devastating war in American history was not the Vietnam War, not World War II, not even the Civil War. The most destructive and devastating war in American history is the 40-year War on Drugs. It is a war in which thousands die each year, which wastes billions of dollars, and which has put more people in jail than any other nation in the world. It has come to the point where the War on Drugs is deadlier and more destructive than all the dreaded drugs scattered upon its battlefields.
