Bill Moyers: 'Our Politicians Are Money Launderers in the Trafficking of Power and Policy'

Bill Moyers, Truthout: 'We hold elections, knowing they are unlikely to produce the policies favored by the majority of Americans. We speak, we write, we advocate - and those in power turn deaf ears and blind eyes to our deepest aspirations. We petition, plead, and even pray - yet the earth that is our commons, which should be passed on in good condition to coming generations, continues to be despoiled. We invoke the strain in our national DNA that attests to 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' as the produce of political equality - yet private wealth multiplies as public goods are beggared.'

Lessons From the Original Occupation: Gina Ray, Wisconsin State Capitol Police

Mary Bottari, Truthout: 'On February 11, 2011, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker introduced a bill that would limit the collective bargaining rights of public employees, require 100 percent voter participation in union recertification and end the state s practice of withholding and reimbursing union dues. The bill was perceived as a death blow to public employee unions and prompted massive, sustained and peaceful protests inside and outside the Wisconsin State Capitol in the winter of 2011.'

Occupy the Koch Brothers - and Stop the American Nightmare

Isaiah J. Poole, Campaign for America s Future: 'The very name of a Washington conservative conference this weekend is the height of subterfuge. It s called the 'Defending the American Dream' conference, which is not about defending the actual American dreams of most Americans (the focus of our own 'Take Back the American Dream' conference), sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, which is not an organization that promotes what is needed for broad American prosperity.'

Assassination backlash

Los Angeles Times
by Andrew Cockburn

11/03/11

Clearly, the sentiment prevalent among our leaders is that eliminating particular enemy leaders is bound to have a beneficial effect. ... So, now that assassination is an official tool of U.S. foreign policy, along with trade embargoes and overseas aid, it is surely time for an open debate on whether it is indeed effective. Surprisingly for some, evidence based on hard numbers demonstrates unequivocally that the answer is no...

3. November 2011

Zur Bilanz des Libyen-Kriegs erklärt Wolfgang Gehrcke, Mitglied des Parteivorstands der LINKEN:

Für die NATO ist der Libyen-Krieg ein 'großer Erfolg'. Für die Bundesregierung, obwohl sie im Weltsicherheitsrat nicht zugestimmt hatte, ebenfalls. Westerwelle traut sich nicht, dem allgemeinen Jubel entgegen zu treten und über die Ermordung von Gaddafi zeigt sich die westliche Politikerkaste peinlich berührt, aber doch erleichtert. Die Wahrheit sieht anders aus: Im Libyen-Krieg verloren zwischen 40.000 und 80.000 Menschen ihr Leben. Angeblich sollten, so die Resolution des Weltsicherheitsrates, die Luftangriffe dem Schutz der Zivilbevölkerung dienen. Tatsächlich wurden Tausende Menschen hingemordet. Angeblich sollte Libyen entmilitarisiert und die Lieferung von Waffen unterbunden werden. Tatsächlich verbreitet der fast ungehinderte Zugriff auf Waffen weltweit Sorgen. Zu den in Libyen aufgefundenen Waffen gehören auch deutsche Sturmgewehre der Firma Heckler & Koch. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass binnen kurzer Zeit auf den Kriegsschauplätzen in aller Welt Waffen aus Libyen auftauchen. Der Weltsicherheitsrat sprach davon, dass Demokratie die Grundlage für libysche Gesellschaft darstellen solle. Tatsächlich wurde als erstes Gesetz die Scharia eingeführt und damit alle Gesetze aufgehoben, die ihr entgegen stehen. Binnen kurzem wird man registrieren können, dass Frauenrechte, die es selbst unter dem Regime Gaddafi gab, wieder eingeschränkt und aufgehoben werden. Nicht widerlegt ist bisher der Verdacht, dass bereits während des Krieges Ölverträge über mehr als ein Drittel des libyschen Öls mit französischen Firmen abgeschlossen wurden. Es bleibt abzuwarten, ob soziale Rechte und bildungspolitische Errungenschaften aufrecht erhalten bleiben oder in der Neuordnung untergehen. Fest steht hingegen, dass Libyen erneut als Festungswall gegen Fluchtbewegungen Richtung Europa aufmunitioniert wird. Die Europäische Union hat sogar angeboten, militärische Einheiten zur Sicherung der libyschen Grenzen zu entsenden. Angesichts solcher Tatsachen von Erfolg zu sprechen, ist zynisch, menschenverachtend. Die Verantwortlichen für den Krieg gehören vor den Internationalen Strafgerichtshof. Doch genau das wird eher nicht passieren, auch wenn der Chefankläger des Gerichtshofes ?unparteiische? Untersuchungen angekündigt hat. Sicher ist: Die Vereinten Nationen haben schweren Schaden genommen. Sie haben gegen ihre eigene Charta gehandelt. Schon mit der Handlungsunfähigkeit des Weltsicherheitsrates im Syrienkonflikt wird deutlich, dass die Bereitschaft, sich auf Beschlüsse der UNO einzulassen, gravierend zurück gegangen ist. Statt Völkerrecht, Demokratie und Aussöhnung hat der Libyen-Krieg Mord und Totschlag verbreitet. Das kann nicht der Weg sein, Stabilität in der Region herbeizuführen. Statt eines arabischen Frühlings haben wir es mit einem Herbst der Demokratie zu tun.

Dennoch ist es nicht gleichgültig, welche Normen für den Umgang von Staaten miteinander in mehr oder weniger verbindlicher Weise vereinbart und festgeschrieben sind, als sogenanntes Völkerrecht. Internationale 'Gesetze' oder Vereinbarungen geben politische Zielsetzungen an, die regierende Politik muss sich dem Publikum gegenüber mit ihnen legitimieren, an ihnen messen lassen - und sie können Impulse setzen, gegen Handlungen der Machthaber zu opponieren, Widerstand zu entwickeln?'

At the end of the day, Romney s appointment of Walid Phares to his campaign staff and his comments on his policy towards Israel are indications of what we could expect from the foreign policy of a Romney Administration. At the very least, it would be a continuation of Bush/Obama foreign policies. At the worst, it would be an escalation of those policies. American can ill afford either...

It remained unclear whether Israel was genuinely poised to strike or if it was saber-rattling to prod the international community into taking a tougher line on Iran...

Campaign Grows to Divest From 'Too Big to Fail' Banks to Local Banks, Credit Unions

Video

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'As participants in the Occupy Wall Street movement continue protesting the record profits made by banks bailed out by taxpayer money, a group of grassroots activists are hitting America s largest banks - including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo - where it hurts most: the wallet. Dubbing this Saturday, Nov. 5 as 'Bank Transfer Day,' activists are urging people to move their money out of the banks deemed 'too big to fail' into local community banks and credit unions. Bank Transfer Day draws on an idea popularized by filmmaker Eugene Jarecki, economist Rob Johnson and columnist Arianna Huffington, among others. In 2010, they created the short film called 'Move Your Money,' which became a viral sensation. We speak with filmmaker Eugene Jarecki.'

Jason Coppola, Truthout: 'As people gather to protest the greed and corruption of Wall Street in downtown Manhattan and throughout the world, the territories of indigenous peoples and nations have been the front lines of this conflict for a long, long, time. Clayton Thomas-Muller, of the Pukatawagan Cree Nation, is an anti-tar sands campaigner with the Indigenous Environmental Network, and is responsible for coordinating an indigenous team which operates both in the United States and Canada supporting locally led tactics and strategies aimed at stopping the Canadian tar sands expansion and its encroachment into traditional and treaty territories of first nations in Alberta and British Columbia.'

Poverty, conscientiousness, and broken families

EconLog

11/01/11

Right-wingers should spend a lot more time reading left-wing ethnography of the poor. It may seem strange, but when leftist social scientists actually talk to and observe the poor, they confirm the stereotypes of the harshest Victorian. Poverty isn t about money; it s a state of mind. That state of mind is low conscientiousness...

Remember, Libya was supposed to be another grand humanitarian adventure, with Uncle Sam riding in to save the poor Third World peoples. In Iraq some 200,000 civilians probably have died after George W. Bush s foolish neocon crusade. In Kosovo our new allies quickly kicked out a quarter of a million people they didn t like. There isn t much humanitarianism evident in Libya either, alas...

NATO in Libya: Is Syria next?

The Nation Blog
by Robert Dreyfuss

10/31/11

Now that NATO is closing up shop in Libya, will it turn to Syria? Right now, the answer is no. But if the fragmented Syrian opposition -- bolstered by Turkey, a member of NATO, which is turning increasingly against Syrian President Assad - manages to set up a Benghazi-like enclave either inside Syria or across the border in Turkey, anything goes. To be sure, there are lots of differences between Libya and Syria. ... That hasn t stopped hawks from suggesting that it s time to intervene in Syria, too...

Supercommittee of the One Percent Won t Even Think of Taxing Wall Street

Dean Baker, Truthout: 'While whacking our parents and grandparents with a big cut in Social Security benefits apparently draws bipartisan support, the supercommittee will not even score a plan to tax Wall Street financial speculation. In spite of the repeated pledges that everything is on the table, taxing Wall Street speculation is absolutely off the table.'

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: 'Upon cracking open the Washington Post home page early Tuesday morning, I counted no less than eleven stories about GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain s not good very bad day on Monday. That bad day started with a Politico article detailing two separate incidents of accused sexual harassment leveled at Cain in the 1990s. Before anyone had a chance to decide whether or not the charges had merit, Mr. Cain and his people took the report and transmogrified it into the one thing the Washington press corps loves above all else: a juicy cover-up story.'

NATO beendet Einsatz nach Bombenerfolg. Operationen in Libyen werden eingestellt

Presseschau vom 31.10.2011 beim Friedensratschlag http://www.ag-friedensforschung.de/regionen/Libyen/nato12.html


Finsterer Schatten des Zweifels. Militär-Intervention in Libyen: Wie sich doch die Blickwinkel unterscheiden können

'Wir Menschen leben mitunter in ziemlich verschiedenen Welten. Diesen Satz hält man jedenfalls dann für zutreffend, beschäftigt man sich mit zwei aktuellen, aber völlig entgegengesetzten Schlussfolgerungen zur gleichen Sache: dem Nato-Krieg in Libyen. So wertet eine Studie der SPD-nahen Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (Die Zukunft der 'Responsibility to Protect' nach dem Fall Gaddafis) den dortigen militärischen Einsatz 'zweifellos' als 'Erfolg'. Zu einem völlig anderen Ergebnis kommt hingegen der Hamburger Völkerrechtsprofessor Reinhard Merkel (Die Intervention der NATO in Libyen. Völkerrechtliche und rechtsphilosophische Anmerkungen zu einem weltpolitischen Trauerspiel.). Er spricht von einer 'verheerenden Bilanz' zehntausender Toter und von einer schweren Beschädigung von Völkerrechtsnormen?' Artikel von Rudolf Stumberger in telepolis vom 29.10.2011 http://www.heise.de/tp/artikel/35/35792/1.html

Siehe dazu auch: Willkür als Prinzip

'Die SPD-nahe Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung plädiert für die Entwicklung umfassender Operationsmodelle für künftige Militäreinsätze à la Libyen. Der Libyen-Krieg sei ein voller Erfolg gewesen, heißt es in einer soeben von der Stiftung publizierten Studie. Unter anderem habe er den Grundsatz der sogenannten Responsibility to Protect ('Schutzverantwortung') gestärkt, mit dem Interventionen in aller Welt legitimiert werden können, um bei tatsächlich oder angeblich drohenden Massenverbrechen einzuschreiten. Für die kommenden Militäroperationen unter diesem Etikett müsse eine neue 'zivil-militärische(...) Doktrin' entwickelt werden, erklärt die Stiftung und würdigt explizit die 'Pionierarbeit', die ein US-Programm unter Mitwirkung hochrangiger Militärs dazu geleistet habe. Während die sozialdemokratische Organisation zukünftige Gewaltoperationen fest in den Blick nimmt, übt ein Völkerrechtsprofessor von der Universität Hamburg scharfe Kritik an der Intervention in Libyen?'

'Der jüngste Gipfel zur Euro-Rettung hat die Kurse an den Börsen auf breiter Front und besonders die der Bankaktien hochschießen lassen. Mit gutem Grund - denn die Staats- und Regierungschefs der Euroländer haben wieder einmal alles getan, um die Interessen von Banken und Versicherungen zu wahren?' Artikel von Conrad Schuhler vom 28. Oktober 2011 beim ISW (pdf) http://www.isw-muenchen.de/download/euro-gipfel-banken-cs-20111028.pdf


Der 'Schuldenschnitt' und das Kleingedruckte

'Während die Banker Krokodilstränen wegen der beim Eurogipfel beschlossenen 'substantiellen Beteiligung' des Privatsektors vergießen, steigen die Börsenkurse der Institute im zweistelligen Prozentbereich. Offenbar bewerten die Akteure an den Finanzmärkten die Ergebnisse des Gipfels diametral anders als die leider wieder einmal vollkommen unkritischen Medien. Man sollte sich nicht von der PR der Bankenlobby ins Bockshorn jagen lassen. Der Finanzsektor zählt ganz klar zu den Gewinnern des Gipfels. Griechenland und vor allem die anderen angeschlagenen Euroländer zählen hingegen zu den Verlierern...' Artikel von Jens Berger vom 28. Oktober 2011 bei den Nachdenkseiten http://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=11127

Aus dem Text: '? Wenn man in diesen Tagen die Zeitungen aufschlägt, stößt man immer wieder auf die Aussage, die EU-Regierungschefs hätten beim Gipfel einen 50%-Schuldenschnitt für Griechenland beschlossen. Dies ist jedoch gleich in vielfacher Hinsicht falsch. Es wurde vielmehr gar kein Schuldenschnitt - in welcher Höhe auch immer - beschlossen, sondern lediglich angekündigt, dass man die Banken und Versicherungen zu Verhandlungen einlädt, an deren Ende ein Anleihentausch stattfinden soll, bei dem die Institute auf freiwilliger Basis ihre Griechenlandanleihen gegen andere Anleihen eintauschen können. Dabei sollen sie - so die Absichtserklärung - einen Nominalwert von 50% abschreiben. Die Verhandlungen über diesen Anleihentausch beginnen in den nächsten Wochen und das Tauschprogramm soll Anfang 2012 beginnen. Da die Details somit erst noch ausgehandelt werden, gibt es auch noch unzählige Möglichkeiten, wie die Banken diese 50%-Marke ad absurdum führen können, und es ist sehr wahrscheinlich, dass ihnen das auch gelingen wird?'

Occupy Wall Street: Lagerkoller in Lower Manhattan

Raue Zeiten für Occupy Wall Street in Amerika: Die Polizei verliert vielerorts die Geduld, im Hauptquartier der Protestler gibt es Streit über die Richtung. Der größte Feind aber nähert sich unaufhaltsam: der Winter. Artikel von Nils Rüdel im Handelsblatt vom 31.10.2011 http://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/international/lagerkoller-in-lower-manhattan/5773246.html

Aus dem Text: 'Die Aktion dauerte nur ein paar Minuten. Doch für New Yorks Bürgermeister Michael Bloomberg war es ein wichtiger taktischer Sieg im Kalten Krieg gegen die Dauercamper von Occupy Wall Street. Unter Polizeischutz liefen am Freitag Feuerwehrleute auf dem besetzen Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan auf und nahmen den Protestlern ihre Generatoren und Dieselkanister weg. Bloomberg sagt, er sorge nur dafür, 'dass jedermann sicher ist'. Die Demonstranten sagen, man wolle ihnen nach und nach die Lebensgrundlage entziehen. Denn auf dem Platz, den die Aktivisten zu einer kleinen Stadt mit Bücherei, Krankenversorgung und Kantine ausgebaut haben, sind die Generatoren enorm wichtig. Sie liefern Strom für Laptops und Handys, aber vor allem für Heizungen und Küche...'

Aus dem Text: '...Wenn die New York Times, Hollywood und MTV nun auf den Zug aufspringen, dann dient das letztlich dem Zweck, Werbeflächen, DVDs und Eintrittskarten fürs Kino zu verkaufen. So verdient das eine Prozent auf perfideste Art an der Wut der 99 Prozent. Die Occupy-Wall-Street-Aktivisten müssen sicherstellen, dass sie selbst von den kräftigen Bildern profitieren, die sie produzieren. Ansätze dafür gibt es bereits in eigens produzierten, durch Crowdfunding finanzierten Werbespots und der vielkritisierten Überlegung, gleich selbst Occupy-Wall-Street-Merchandising herzustellen und an den Mann zu bringen...'


»Occupy« weltweit

Mit spektakulären Besetzungsaktionen haben Chiles Schüler und Studenten am Donnerstag (Ortszeit) eine neue Protestwelle begonnen, mit der sie den Druck auf die Regierung von Staatschef Sebastián Piñera aufrechterhalten wollen, endlich einen Kurswechsel in der Bildungspolitik des südamerikanischen Landes einzuleiten. Artikel von André Scheer und Marinela Potor, Santiago de Chile, in der jungen Welt vom 29.10.2011 http://www.jungewelt.de/2011/10-29/058.php

Aus dem Text: '... Auch in der Hauptstadt Santiago gab es verschiedene Aktionen. So blockierte eine Gruppe kurzzeitig den Verkehr auf der wichtigsten Hauptverkehrsstraße, während etwa 400 Menschen versuchten, in das Gebäude des Bildungsministeriums einzudringen. Nachdem die Intensität der Proteste nach dem 48stündigen Streik am 19. und 20. Oktober zunächst abgeflaut war, dürfte es auch in den nächsten Tagen wieder zu mehr und größeren Aktionen kommen. So kündigte Vallejo für Anfang November erneut zwei landesweite Protesttage an? Trotzdem sieht Vallejo ihre Kampagne nicht als Teil der internationalen »Occupy«-Bewegung. »Die chilenische Studentenbewegung ist keine spontane, sondern ein langer Prozeß, der sich auf eine tiefgreifende Analyse der Ungerechtigkeit stützt, die in Chile herrscht. Wir verstehen den Kampf der Empörten, aber in Chile sind wir über die Phase der Unzufriedenheit hinaus.«...'

Besetzt mehr, findet euch zusammen, baut größere und immer größere Netzwerke und hört nicht auf, neue Wege zu finden, mit sozialem Leben, Konsensfindung und Demokratie zu experimentieren. Endeckt neue Wege, diese Räume[Freiräume?] zu nutzen, entdeckt neue Wege, an ihnen festzuhalten, und gebt sie nie wieder auf. Wehrt euch kraftvoll, wenn ihr angegriffen werdet, aber andernfalls habt Spaß an dem, was ihr tut, nehmt es leicht, habt Spaß.

Besetzer rufen zum Streik

Die Polizeigewalt kann die Occupy-Bewegung nicht stoppen, für Mttwoch ruft sie zum Generalstreik. Lehrer und Hafenarbeiter solidarisieren sich - und der Stadtrat. Artikel von Dorothea Hahn in der TAZ vom 02.11.2011 http://www.taz.de/Occupy-in-Oakland/!81054/ Aus dem Text: '(...) Die Lehrergewerkschaft in Oakland fordert ihre Mitglieder dazu auf, am Mittwoch Teach-ins über Generalstreiks abzuhalten. Ein Sprecher der Gewerkschaft der Hafenarbeiter Ilwu, Stan Woods, hat die BesetzerInnen wissen lassen, dass die Nachtschicht im Hafen ausfallen würde - wenn die Demonstration am Werkstor 'groß und ernsthaft' sei und wenn sie Ziele habe, die 'mit unseren übereinstimmen'. Bei der abendlichen Vollversammlung auf dem Rathausvorplatz überbrachte ein Hafenarbeiter solidarische Grüße. Offenbar erwägen auch zahlreiche Beschäftigte in Oakland, die kein Streikrecht haben, am Mittwoch einen Tag frei zu nehmen.

Im Rat der traditionell fortschrittlichen kalifornischen Stadt haben sämtliche Mitglieder ihre Sympathie mit der Occupy-Bewegung erklärt. Mehrere Ratsleute wollen an der Demonstration teilnehmen. Bürgermeisterin Jean Quan, die wegen der Polizeigewalt Tausende Protestschreiben erhielt, hat sich öffentlich für 'Reaktionen' der Polizei entschuldigt. Sie sprach von "Fehlern auf beiden Seiten". Das Ergebnis der internen Polizeiuntersuchung über den Vorfall liegt noch nicht vor...'

3. November 2011 Gesine Lötzsch

Griechenland ist Spielball der Börsen geworden

Zum undemokratischen Umgang der europäischen Regierungen mit Griechenland erklärt die Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Gesine Lötzsch:

Die Mehrheit in unserem Land lehnt die Europa-Politik der Bundesregierung ab. Sie ist nicht mehr bereit, die Kosten der Krise zu tragen. Es wird Zeit, dass die zur Kasse gebeten werden, die die Krise verursacht haben. Doch dagegen sträubt sich die Bundesregierung. Sie hat das Primat der Politik an Banken und Rating-Agenturen abgegeben. Kanzlerin Merkel agiert als Schuldeneintreiberin von Banken und Ratingagenturen. Das ist der Hauptgrund für die Finanzkrise und deshalb werden wir von einer Krise in die nächste taumeln. Griechenland ist zum Spielball der Börsen geworden. Die Kanzlerin hat nichts Besseres zutun, als dieses Spiel mitzuspielen. Es ist ein dramatisches Zeichen des demokratischen Verfalls, wenn eine Volksabstimmung in Griechenland bei den Herrschenden in Europa solch eine Empörung auslöst. Keiner der europäischen Regierungschefs hat sich jemals so über die Banken und Börsen empört, die Griechenland zum Spielball gemacht haben. Die Absage des Referendums und die Bildung einer Übergangsregierung in Griechenland zeigen, dass Griechenland direkt aus Brüssel regiert wird. Das griechische Volk wird gar nicht mehr nach seiner Meinung gefragt. Es ist schon jetzt klar zu erkennen, wer die nächsten Opfer der Börsen und Banken sein werden. Dieses Roulettespiel können nur die Menschen selbst, gegen ihre neoliberalen Regierungen, beenden. Der Euro wird nicht gerettet, indem immer drastischere Kürzungspakete in ganz Europa geschnürt werden. Das wird die Krise nur verschärfen. Der Euro hat nur eine Überlebenschance, wenn die Finanzmärkte entmachtet werden. Wir brauchen einen öffentlich-rechtlichen Bankensektor, der den Interessen der Mehrheit der Gesellschaft dient. DIE LINKE ist solidarisch mit den Menschen in Griechenland, Italien, Spanien, Irland und allen anderen Ländern, die nicht länger hinnehmen wollen, dass der Reichtum weiter von unten nach oben verteilt wird.

Public discussion of the Wall Street protests has focused on the movement s indictment of the economic elite, but Occupy Wall Street marks an equally profound critique of the country s political system. As the weeks tick by, the protests at Zuccotti Park and across the nation are driving home this profound realization: this is a fight that can t be won by voting...

Dave Johnson, Campaign for America's Future: 'In a country with a true democratic culture the local governments would be serving these people and honoring their right to dissent and protest. They would instinctively be showing up at protests like this and offering to help with any sanitation problems, etc, setting up public toilets, and other services. They would even be offering tents. If there are security problems in the occupy camps a city would be posting police in the encampment to help the people there, with a clear mission to serve them. They certainly would not be seeing them as the enemy, and attacking them.'

Unequal Justice: Banker Arrests, 0; Protester Arrests, 2,511

Bruce Judson, New Deal 2.0: 'The message to people and entities, large and small, is that they cannot rely on a blind justice system to protect them from unscrupulous transactions. The idea of fair dealing - which is at the heart of our economy - is breaking down. This implicit message also erodes the underpinnings of a vibrant capitalist economy. The rich and powerful can violate the law and will receive a slap on the wrist. As a result, the rights of the less powerful entities, which were violated by these elites, will not be protected by our justice system. The concept of fair dealing collapses.'
