Diane Silver, Miller-McCune: 'Thousands [of veterans] grapple with what some call 'the war after the war' - the psychological scars of conflict. Working with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and private organizations, these men and women are employing treatments both radically new and centuries old. At the center of their journey is a new way of thinking that redefines some traumas as moral injuries.'

FDP fordert künftige Schuldenbremse bei den Sozialkassen

Statt die Reichen höher zu besteuern, wie einige Millionäre selbst fordern, fordert der FDP-Generalsekretär Christian Lindner eine 'Schuldenbremse' bei den Sozialausgaben zu installieren. Nach Ansicht des FDP Politikers müsse der Sparkurs des Bundeshaushaltes mehr zu Lasten der Sozialkassen gehen. Gegenüber dem Boulevardblatt 'Bild' sagte Lindner am Dienstag: 'Eine alternde Gesellschaft muss für die Sozialsysteme eine Art Schuldenbremse einrichten'. Weiter lesen:

Schuldenbremse ist Wachstumsbremse

Die Bundesgeschäftsführerin der LINKEN, Caren Lay, begrüßt die Überlegungen in der Union zur Abschaffung der Schuldenbremse und bekräftigt die Kritik ihrer Partei an diesem Instrument, das sie als 'Wachstumsbremse' bezeichnet. Caren Lay erklärt:

Es ist gut, dass nun auch die Einsicht im Unionslager reift. Die Schuldenbremse ist eine Wachstumsbremse. Die öffentlichen Haushalte werden abgewürgt. Das schadet den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern und der Wirtschaft. Das Festhalten an der Schuldenbremse in der Finanzkrise ist das Symbol für ausbleibende Lernfähigkeit. Die wichtigste Lehre aus den Wirtschaftskrisen der Vergangenheit ist, dass man der Krise nicht hinterher sparen kann. Die Schuldenbremse bewirkt in der gegenwärtigen Situation wäre, dass die Kosten der Finanzkrise durch Sozialabbau finanziert werden. Der Staat kommt in eine Kürzungsspirale, die die Krise verschärft. Die Schuldenbremse muss auf den Prüfstand. Wir wollen, dass sie abgeschafft wird.

Sarkozy Warns Iran of Potential Pre-Emptive Attack

French President Nicolas Sarkozy warned on Wednesday that Iran s attempts to build long-range missiles and nuclear weapons could lead unnamed countries to launch what he called a pre-emptive attack. 'Its military nuclear and ballistic ambitions constitute a growing threat that may lead to a preventive attack against Iranian sites that would provoke a major crisis that France wants to avoid at all costs,' he said.

Five GOP Presidential Candidates Have Proposed Eliminating Capital Gains Tax, a $1 Trillion Giveaway to the Rich

Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: 'Republicans have proven time and again that they really love tax cuts for the wealthy, but completely eliminating the capital gains tax is nothing but a pure handout to the ultra-rich. At the moment, the richest 0.1 percent of Americans pay 44 percent of the capital gains tax, and 68.3 percent of the tax is paid by the richest 1 percent. The bottom 95 percent of Americans pay just 10 percent of capitals gains taxes. But the tax still brings in a substantial amount of revenue. Complete repeal, using data from the Congressional Budget Office, would cost about $1 trillion over 10 years.'

Imperial delusions

Ten years later, we are still right and it still doesn t matter. There s a simple reason for this: Empires rarely learn in time, because power tends to dull people s capacity for critical self-reflection. While ascending to power, empires believe themselves to be invincible. While declining in power, they cling desperately to old myths of remembered glory...

One virtue of war is that it often provides society with an unusual degree of clarity about political issues. War tempts us with an irresistibly simple choice between Them and Us, enemy and friend, wrong and right, annihilation or survival. That kind of thinking came very easily during the Cold War. Every schoolboy knew that They - the so-called Evil Empire - were hellbent on destroying Us and our democratic way of life...

In Libya, a bloodbath looms

In These Times
by Robert Parry

08/31/11

NATO s war in Libya, which began with high-minded declarations about 'protecting civilians,' now appears likely to end with a bloodbath that will claim the lives of many civilians, albeit pro-Gaddafi civilians, not the earlier threatened anti-Gaddafi civilians. Ali Tarhouni, a senior official of the NATO-backed Libyan rebels, summed up this Orwellian reality with a phrase reminiscent of the famous Vietnam War quote that 'we had to destroy the village in order to save it.' Tarhouni was quoted by the Associated Press as saying 'Sometimes to avoid bloodshed you must shed blood - and the faster we do this the less blood will be shed'...

Rick Perry Secret Plan to Save Blue States From the Red States

Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: 'Of all the nonsense Texas Governor Rick Perry spews about states' rights and the tenth amendment, his dumbest is the notion that states should go it alone. 'We have got a great Union,' he said at a Tea Party rally in Austin in April 2009. 'There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that.'

Iraqi Children in US Raid Shot in Head, UN Says

Matthew Schofield, McClatchy Newspapers: 'A US diplomatic cable made public by WikiLeaks provides evidence that U.S. troops executed at least 10 Iraqi civilians, including a woman in her 70s and a 5-month-old infant, then called in an airstrike to destroy the evidence, during a controversial 2006 incident in the central Iraqi town of Ishaqi. The unclassified cable, which was posted on WikiLeaks' website last week, contained questions from a United Nations investigator about the incident, which had angered local Iraqi officials, who demanded some kind of action from their government. U.S. officials denied at the time that anything inappropriate had occurred.'

Keine Truppen nach Libyen

Nicht aus Afrika und schon gar nicht aus Deutschland!

IMI-Standpunkt von Christoph Marischka vom 30.8.2011 http://www.imi-online.de/2011.php?id=2342

Aus dem Text: '? Mit anderen Worten, die Länder, die eine Unterstützung der NATO-Intervention abgelehnt haben, brauchen jetzt nicht glauben, Geschäfte mit den neuen Machthabern machen zu können. Umgekehrt gilt, wer mitbombte, soll auch ausreichend die Ernte einfahren. Auffällig ist, dass dabei Deutschland keine Erwähnung findet, es gilt offensichtlich als Wackelkandidat, der gegenwärtig noch keinem der beiden Lager eindeutig zuzuordnen ist. Zahlreiche deutsche Konzerne sind bereits seit Längerem in Libyen aktiv (etwa die BASF-Tochter Wintershall, die im libyschen Ölgeschäft engagiert ist), sie werden sicher von der Bundesregierung erwarten, für den Fortbestand ihrer Profite Sorge zu tragen. Andere Firmen wittern durch die veränderte Situation Morgenluft und sehen nun Chancen, neu ins dortige Geschäft einsteigen zu können?'

Siehe dazu auch: 'Sie werden es nicht wagen, irgendwelche Verträge zu ändern'

'Der Streit um Libyens Schätze: Italien hat bereits Verträge mit dem libyschen Übergangsrat unterzeichnet. Alle anderen stehen bereit, um sich ihren Anteil zu sichern. Die libysche Bevölkerung und der Rest der Welt plagt derzeit noch die große Frage, wo der ehemalige Revolutionsführer Muammar al-Gaddafi steckt. Unterdessen sind die Führer der Anti-Gaddafi-Allianz schon deutlich weiter. Hinter den Fassaden haben bereits die ersten Verhandlungen begonnen, wie jetzt die reichen Ölvorkommen aufgeteilt werden sollen?'

Shrinking unions eroding middle class

A continued decline in union membership in the US has led to an erosion of the American middle class, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said Wednesday. As the portion of the population that belongs to a union has declined, 'there has been an erosion of people that have been able to stay in the middle class. The way I see, it is that unions have helped to keep people in the middle class,' Secretary Solis said...

But Perry's full remarks reveal just as much about the Republican Party s strategy for cutting Social Security as they do about Perry himself.'

Joe Conason, Truthout: 'Like so many Republican officials of the tea party persuasion, Rick Perry despises the Environmental Protection Agency - a feeling he has expressed repeatedly in speeches, lawsuits, legislation and even a book titled 'Fed Up!' Perhaps that is only natural for the governor of Texas, a 'dirty energy' state where the protection of air, water and human health rank well below the defense of oil company profits for most politicians.'

Tea Party Brings Environmental Meltdown to America

Dr. Brian Moench, Truthout: 'For Tea Party zealots it is impossible to utter, hear, read or write the words 'freedom' and 'liberty' too many times. And, of course, to them, the antithesis of freedom and liberty is the federal government, which they swear they will 'take back.' For them, taking back the government means restoring the freedom to not be able to afford health care, restoring the freedom to be unemployed without any unemployment insurance, restoring the freedom to lose your home to mortgage fraud and your pension to criminal Wall Street bankers. That doesn't sound much like a 'Party' to me; that sounds more like a nightmare.'

Obamas illegal assaults

In These Times
by Glenn Greenwald

08/26/11

Barack Obama has continued virtually all of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney s once-controversial terrorism and civil liberties policies, a fact now recognized across the political spectrum. Even the right wing acknowledges these policies have continued under the Obama presidency, which is interesting, because for decades Republicans have made political hay by accusing Democrats of being weak on national security (aka 'soft on terrorism') in this age of terror...

Cheney s deceit of Shakespearean proportions

The Nation
by Robert Scheer

08/31/11

The deceit of Dick Cheney is indeed of Shakespearean proportions, as evidenced in his new memoir. ... Here is a man who ... trafficked in the campaign of deceit that caused tens of thousands to die, wasted trillions of dollars in resources and indelibly sullied the legacy of this nation through the practice of torture, which Cheney defends to this day. Still this villain claims that, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the horrid methods he endorsed were a necessary response to the threat of Osama bin Laden...

Unequal Protection: Unequal Taxes

Thom Hartmann, Berrett-Koehler Publishers: 'It costs money to run a government, and the more you want the government to do, the more it usually costs. One point to consider is how much do we want our government to do? Another is, who should pay for it? Tax policy is how government funds its services and also one way it fulfills the will of the people who elect it by providing tax incentives or disincentives for particular types of behaviors. Consider how home mortgage interest deductibility has fueled home buying, for example. As we have seen ... some companies have worked hard to get out of paying for anything, including taxes.'

Making a Life on a Tough, New Planet

Bill McKibben, St. Martin's Griffin: 'The months after the initial publication of Eaarth saw some of the most intense environmental trauma the planet has ever witnessed ... For Americans, the British Petroleum (BP) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which began on April 20, 2010, may have provided the most powerful images - there was, after all, an underwater camera showing the leak up close. (Leak? This was not a leak - it was a stab wound that BP inflicted on the ocean floor, a literal hole in the bottom of the sea. If you ever had any doubts about peak oil, all it took was one view of the extreme places and pressures the oil companies now had to endure to find even marginal amounts of crude. The well that BP was drilling would have supplied only about four days' worth of America's oil consumption.)'

Truthout Interview With Bill McKibben

Mark Karlin, Truthout: 'Bill McKibben is one of the most venerable writers on the growing peril of climate change. Not content to simply write warnings of environmental implosion, McKibben is an inveterate activist. Most recently, he has been working with others to halt the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. Disaster is not inevitable, McKibben believes. But it is likely unless saving our environment becomes a moral imperative upon which we act with urgency. Below is an exclusive Truthout interview with McKibben about his recent book, and current political actions.'

Stop Obama from managing the economy

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

08/30/11

As the presidential campaign season gets into full swing, be prepared to hear the standard arguments as to which candidate and which party is better at managing the economy. The debate surfaces every four years. Republicans will cry, 'President Obama and the Democrats have made a mess of the economy. Elect us because we?re able to do a better job at managing the economy.'

Against the nomination of Tony Blair as 'President of the European Union'

We, European citizens of all origins and of all political persuasions, wish to express our total opposition to the nomination of Tony Blair to the Presidency of the European Council.

The Treaty of Lisbon provides for the new post of President of the European Council, to be elected by the Council for a mandate, renewable once only, of two and a half years. Under the terms of the Treaty: 'The President of the European.'

Androhung vollständiger Streichung von Leistungen

Leyens Kauderwelschbildungsbürokratiemonster endet meist in einer Androhung vollständiger Streichung von Leistungen.

So haben sie es gewollt - die Nickenicks aller Parteien - und im Bundesrat wurde das Kauderwelschbildungsbürokratiemonster hämisch lächelnd - trotz fachlicher und verfassungsrechtlicher Bedenken - schlussendlich abgenickt, denn was geht einem Diätenempfänger schon das wachsende Elend der Betroffenen und deren bürokratische Hürden an.

Bis heute: Scheibchenweise die Wahrheit...

Wer immer wieder denken mag, jetzt rücken sie mit der Wahrheit raus, wird sich immer wieder getäuscht sehen: Jede offizielle Verlautbarung zu Fukushima zielt auf Schadensbegrenzung ab. Unter dem Titel 'Why the Fukushima Disaster is Worse Than Chernobyl' berichtet am 29. August 2011 im britischen Independent David McNeill über die Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den Propagandisten des Regimes und ihren Kritikern, von denen immer mehr die Schlussfolgerung ziehen, dies sei der bisher größte Unfall in der weltweiten Atomindustrie gewesen: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/why-the-fukushima-disaster-is-worse-than-chernobyl-2345542.html

Siehe dazu auch: 'Fukushima Robot Operator Writes Tell-All Blog' am 23. August 2011 bei der Technologieseite IEEE, wo Erico Guizzo Auszüge aus einem (inzwischen verschwundenen) Blog eines japanischen Robotersteuermanns übersetzt, die unter anderem die Frage der Gefährlichkeit ganz anders darstellen als offizielle Verlautbarungen: http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/industrial-robots/fukushima-robot-operator-diaries

Sowie: 'Japan: A Nuclear Gypsy s Tale' am 03. August 2011 bei Global Voices ebenfalls Blogübersetzungen, hier von Takeshi Kawakami, der jahrelang als Zeitarbeiter in japanischen AKWs gearbeitet hat..: http://globalvoicesonline.org/2011/08/03/japan-a-nuclear-gypsy%e2%80%99s-tale/

Und: 'Abolish All Nuclear Plants Immediately!

Steuerkonzept der GEW: solidarisch und effektiv

'Der Staat hat kein Ausgaben-, sondern ein Einnahmenproblem', analysiert GEW-Vorsitzender Ulrich Thöne angesichts der anhaltenden Diskussion um die Finanzierung dringend notwendiger öffentlicher Ausgaben für Bildung, Arbeit, Umwelt und Soziales. Das steuerpolitische Konzept der GEW sieht eine umfassende und solidarische Reform des Steuersystems vor, die dem Staat mehr als 75 Milliarden Euro jährlich zusätzlich einbringen würde?'

Neue Finanzkrise, alte Probleme

30. August 2011

Zum Brandbrief der europäischen Bankenaufsicht EBA an den Rat der europäischen Finanz- und Wirtschaftsminister erklärt die Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Gesine Lötzsch:

Die europäische Bankenaufsicht EBA macht sich Sorgen um die geringe Kapitalausstattung europäischer Banken und fordert, dass in Zukunft der Rettungsfonds Geld direkt an notleidende Banken geben darf. Das hatten wir alles schon einmal. Erst die Banken retten und regulieren können wir später, das war das Motto der CDU-SPD-Koalition. Das Ergebnis ist: Die Banken wurden gerettet, doch die Finanzmärkte wurden nicht reguliert. Deshalb steht uns jetzt die nächste Finanzkrise ins Haus. Geld für Banken darf es überhaupt nur noch geben, wenn gleichzeitig die Regeln auf den Finanzmärkten drastisch geändert werden. Die neoliberalen Regierungen scheuen sich, neue Regeln durchzusetzen, weil sie sich als erstes aus der finanziellen Abhängigkeit der Finanzindustrie lösen müssten. Es müssen endlich wieder Parlamente und nicht Rating-Agenturen über das Schicksal Europas entscheiden. DIE LINKE fordert die Bundesregierung auf, die Forderung der europäischen Bankenaufsicht zurückzuweisen und dem Bundestag sofort ein Maßnahmepaket zur Regulierung der Finanzmärkte vorzulegen.

Staatsstreich der Finanzmärkte

Die Euro-Krise wird zum Staatsstreich der Finanzmärkte und die Bundesregierung spielt mit. DIE LINKE lehnt eine Transferunion für Banken ab, kommentiert der Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Klaus Ernst, die Entscheidung der Bundesregierung zur Ausweitung und Reform des Euro-Rettungsschirms EFSF.

Die EFSF soll zukünftig Kredite an den Finanzmärkten aufnehmen, um Staatsanleihen zu kaufen und Banken direkt stützen. Die Verursacher und Profiteure der Krise werden geschont, die Bevölkerungsmehrheit in Europa bezahlt mit Rettungsringen aus Blei und mit dem schlimmsten Sozialabbau der Nachkriegsgeschichte. Das wird zu einem neuen Crash führen. Das Königsrecht der Parlamente - die Haushaltssouveränität - wird zudem beschnitten. In Frankreich verkünden Superreiche sie würden gern mehr zahlen, aber Sarkozy lässt sie nicht. In Italien streicht Berlusconi die Solidaritätsabgabe für Spitzenverdiener. In Deutschland hingegen gibt es noch nicht einmal eine Debatte über eine Krisenabgabe für Vermögende. DIE LINKE fordert eine EU-weite Vermögensabgabe, ein Aufbauprogramm sowie eine Trennung der Staatsfinanzen von den Finanzmärkten. Eine öffentliche Bank sollte den Euro-Staaten direkte Kredite gewähren, um ständige Interventionen auf Kosten der Steuerzahler zu verhindern. Kapitalspritzen für Banken darf es nur bei Verstaatlichung und Regulierung der Institute geben. Darüber hinaus brauchen wir eine Verringerung der außenwirtschaftlichen Ungleichgewichte durch höhere Löhne in Deutschland, um neue Schuldenkrisen zu verhindern. Gleichwohl muss es bei Hilfen auch Auflagen geben, etwa eine höhere Besteuerung der Superreichen.

Nicht die Demokratie aushebeln, sondern die Börsen entmachten

Zur geplanten Entmachtung des Bundestages durch die Bundesregierung bei der Ausgestaltung des Euro-Rettungsschirms erklärt die Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Gesine Lötzsch:

Der Finanzminister warnt die vom Volk gewählten Parlamentarier, ihre verfassungsgemäßen Rechte in Anspruch zu nehmen. Damit überschreitet er seine Kompetenzen. Sein Argument, dass der Rettungsfonds EFSF schnell auf Entwicklungen an den Finanzmärkten reagieren muss, zeigt, dass die Bundesregierung das Primat der Politik an die Börsen abgegeben hat. Die Börse und nicht die Politik gibt den Takt vor, das ist verhängnisvoll. In einem demokratischen Parlament wird nie so schnell entschieden werden können, wie an der undemokratischen Börse. Den Bundestag auf die Geschwindigkeit der Börse eintakten zu wollen, hieße, auf Demokratie ganz zu verzichten. Geld für Banken darf es überhaupt nur noch geben, wenn gleichzeitig die Regeln auf den Finanzmärkten drastisch geändert werden. Die neoliberalen Regierungen scheuen sich, neue Regeln durchzusetzen, weil sie sich zuallererst aus der finanziellen Abhängigkeit der Finanzindustrie lösen müssten. Dadurch würden endlich wieder Parlamente undnicht Börsen und Hedgefonds über das Schicksal Europas entscheiden! DIE LINKE fordert die Bundesregierung auf, nicht die Demokratie auszuhebeln, sondern die Finanzmärkte zu entschleunigen. Dafür muss die Bundesregierung dem Bundestag sofort ein Maßnahmepaket zur Regulierung der Finanzmärkte vorlegen. Ein erster Schritt zur Entschleunigung der Finanzmärkte ist die sofortige Einführung einer Finanztransaktionssteuer.

Applying the Libya 'model' to Syria and Iran

The Nation
by Robert Dreyfuss

08/29/11

Muammar Qaddafi is (pretty much) gone, and right on cue there is increasing talk about applying the Libya 'model' to Syria. Meanwhile, I?m more worried that eventually they ll get around to applying that 'model' to Iran. ... By model, of course, they mean the mobilization of lethal force, including coordinated bombing attacks and precision missile strikes, tied closely to rebel military tactics, jointly run by the United States and NATO...

News Corp. Set to Air 9/11 Documentary Glorifying Bush

Lee Fang, ThinkProgress: 'After spending over a decade promoting President Bush, the PATRIOT Act, and the Iraq War, Rupert Murdoch s News Corporation appears to be up to the same tricks, this time with an hour-long promotional video about Bush s leadership during the 9/11 attacks. Although News Corp. is perhaps best known for its Bush cheerleading through its Fox News subsidiary, the Bush documentary is airing on another News Corp. company with a better brand image, National Geographic.'

The 9/11 President

The American Prospect
by Steve Erickson

08/30/11

After September 11, 2001, the enduring cliche was that everything to which our history has led us was changed and never would be the same. A more unsettling truth is that too many of the wrong things changed and not enough of the right ones, that opportunities for change presented themselves that we failed to seize and our politics refused to accommodate...

Omitted facts from the 9/11 commemoration

Salon
by Glenn Greenwald

08/30/11

It s commendable (or at least shrewd) enough that the White House wants to internationalize the commemoration of Al Qaeda s victims over the last decade. But what will also be 'left unsaid' are the vastly more numerous victims of America s militarism and aggression - both in putative response to 9/11 and leading up to that attack (and that s not even counting the various victims of America s client states using U.S.-supplied weapons)...

US government asset seizures on the rise

Daily Reckoning
by Simon Black

08/26/11

In the United States, there are hundreds of regulations which authorize dozens federal agencies to confiscate private property - homes, cars, bank accounts, gold, company shares, and even personal effects.Ironically, most Americans still think that they live in a country where you are innocent until proven guilty. Nothing could be further from the truth...
