Jetzt Korrektur- und Überprüfungsanträge stellen

Wie Harald Thome von der Erwerbsloseninitiative Tacheles e.V. in einem Rundschreiben hinwies, sollten Bezieher von Hartz IV Leistungen in bestimmten Fällen jetzt einen Korrektur- und Überprüfungsantrag stellen sollten. Änderungen die zugunsten von Arbeitslosengeld II Leistungsbeziehern (also höhere Leistungsansprüche wie z.B. eine Betriebskosten oder Heizkostennachforderung) in Dauerrechtsverhältnissen (§ 48 Abs. 1 S. 2 Nr. 1 SGB X), insofern der Antrag im Jahr 2011 noch gestellt wird, bis Januar 2010 zurückwirken.

Jobcenter missachtet Urteil des Bundessozialgerichts

Wie das Sozialgericht Dortmund jetzt in einem 'Hinweis' an das Jobcenter Bochum feststellt, 'dürfte die von Ihnen vorgenommene Methode der Berechnung der Betriebskosten nicht in Einklang mit der Rechtsprechung des BSG stehen. Gleiches dürfte für die Heizkosten gelten'. Es bestehen zudem 'erhebliche Bedenken an der Rechtmässigkeit der Berechnung der Betriebs- und Heizkosten'. Demnach ist die Grenze der angemessenen kalten Betriebskosten bei Hartz IV abstrakt und unabhängig von der Wohnungsgrösse zu bestimmen. Auch die Heizkosten sind unabhängig von der Wohnungsgrösse zu übernehmen, sofern sie nicht die Angemessenheitsgrenze überschreiten. Weiterlesen:

Jobcenter muss vollen Mietpreis zahlen

Immer wieder berechnen die Jobcenter die Mieten für Hartz IV Beziehende nicht korrekt, wenn es um die Angemessenheit der Unterkunftskosten geht. Vielfach sind die ermittelten Höchstmieten schlecht ermittelt, wie kürzlich auch das Sozialgericht in Mannheim urteilte und einer Klage eines Arbeitslosengeld II Beziehers (ALG II) Recht gab.

Hartz IV Angemessenheitsregelungen der Unterkunftskosten laut Sozialgericht Mainz verfassungswidrig

Nach Auffassung der Richter sei der sogenannte Angemessenheitsbegriff zu den Kosten der Unterkunft (KdU) nach § 22 Absatz 1 S 1 SGB II und die Rechtsprechung des Bundessozialgerichts zum "schlüssigen Konzept" nicht mit dem Grundrecht auf Gewährleistung eines menschenwürdigen Existenzminimums nach Artikel 1 Absatz 1 des Grundgesetzes in Verbindung mit dem Sozialstaatsprinzip des Artikel 20 Absatz 1 Grundgesetzes vereinbar...

David Swanson, War Is A Crime: 'Believe it or not, November 11th was not made a holiday in order to celebrate war, support troops, or cheer the 11th year of occupying Afghanistan. This day was made a holiday in order to celebrate an armistice that ended what was up until that point, in 1918, one of the worst things our species had thus far done to itself, namely World War I. World War I, then known simply as the world war or the great war, had been marketed as a war to end war. Celebrating its end was also understood as celebrating the end of all wars. A ten-year campaign was launched in 1918 that in 1928 created the Kellogg-Briand Pact, legally banning all wars. That treaty is still on the books, which is why war making is a criminal act and how Nazis came to be prosecuted for it.'

Review: To end all wars

CounterPunch
by Harvey Wasserman

11/13/11

As the numerologists note our arrival at 11/11/11, our attention is better focused on this day as the anniversary of the end of the useless, worthless, horrifying war that turned so much of 20th Century into a twisted, violent mess. And on how we must prevent the same from happening to our shiny new millennium. A superb route to that understanding comes through a modern masterpiece, TO END ALL WARS: A STORY OF LOYALTY AND REBELLION, 1914-8, by Adam Hochschild...

'We will not build two (nuclear) bombs in the face of (America s) 20,000,' said Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in response to an International Atomic Energy Agency report this week that accuses Iran of doing just that. He called Yukiya Amano, the head of the IAEA, a U.S. puppet.

11. November 2011

Die Bundesregierung vermeidet selbst den Ansatz einer neuen Afghanistanpolitik, und sie ist dazu auch offensichtlich nicht in der Lage, so das Fazit des Mitgliedes im Parteivorstandes der LINKEN, Wolfgang Gehrcke:

Der ständige Druck der LINKEN und der Friedensbewegung, die Mehrheitsstimmung in der Bevölkerung und die katastrophale Lage in Afghanistan haben die Bundesregierung dazu gebracht, in der Öffentlichkeit den Eindruck erwecken zu wollen, dass mit dem Truppenabzug begonnen würde. Die eigentliche Botschaft dieser Entscheidung heißt aber: 4.400 Soldaten werden in Afghanistan bleiben. DIE LINKE fordert hingegen, dass der Einsatz der Bundeswehr in Afghanistan beendet wird und die eingesetzten Truppen unverzüglich zurückgeholt werden. Zu einer neuen Afghanistanpolitik würde eine Erklärung Deutschlands gehören, seine Beteiligung am Afghanistankrieg zu beenden und tatsächlich Selbstbestimmung für Afghanistan zu garantieren. Ebenso gehört seitens der Bundesregierung dazu, einen Endpunkt für den kompletten Truppenabzug zu nennen und nicht weiter die Fiktion zwischen dem Abzug von Kampftruppen und sonstigen Truppen aufrechtzuerhalten. Es wäre zu erwarten, dass die Bundesregierung erklärt, sofort ihre Beteiligung an gezielten Tötungen einzustellen und dass sie Auskunft über die Beteiligung deutscher Truppen bei der Verbringung von afghanischen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern in Foltergefängnisse gibt. Ebenso muss untersucht werden, inwieweit Bundeswehreinheiten an völkerrechtswidrigen Akten der Kriegsführung beteiligt waren. Ein tatsächliches Konzept für die Förderung zivilgesellschaftlichen Aufbaus und des entsprechenden Mitteleinsatzes durch die Bundesregierung liegt bis heute nicht vor. Es bleibt bei der Feststellung: Nichts ist gut in Afghanistan. Die Forderung der LINKEN, die Bundeswehr unverzüglich abzuziehen, zielt auch auf den Abzug der NATO aus Afghanistan. Die Beendigung des ausländischen Truppeneinsatzes ist der Schlüssel für Waffenstillstandsverhandlungen. So lange ausländische Truppen in Afghanistan eingesetzt sind, wird es Widerstand geben; so lange wird der Krieg nicht beendet werden. DIE LINKE fordert: Die Afghanistan-Konferenz in Bonn muss einen völlig anderen Charakter bekommen. Auf dieser Konferenz muss über den Truppenabzug und über die Selbstbestimmung der afghanischen Bevölkerung geredet werden. Was die Bundesregierung plant, ist eine Schauveranstaltung für ihre verfehlte Politik. Das wird Protest herausfordern, auch und besonders in Deutschland.

Tom Hayden, Prometheus Books: 'This work is a survey of media patterns in conflict and crisis situations. But it is clear from Armoudian s account that the 'mainstream media,' whether state or corporate controlled, have largely acted as an instrument for shielding government, corporate, or military interests. There are exceptions - for example, in the case of special investigative reporters, or for media that find niche markets with a countercultural bias - but in general, the 'mainstream media' reflect the status quo.'

Occupy the press

Despite the media s appalling coverage of the Occupy Wall Street movement, is a more sustained and sustainable assault on the injustices of corporate capitalism gaining a foothold? With the emergence, and spread, of the Occupy movement, the first scandal was the mainstream media s ignoring the story (until the NYPD got violent). Many noted, rightly, that if the demonstration had been organized by the Tea Party, the press would have been all over it from the start...

Looking at the 'big picture'

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

11/11/11

The idea that nations have some sort of collective 'national interest,' or even a 'manifest destiny,' is not realistic in any coherent sense. There is no 'national interest,' because only individuals have real interests: the 'national interest' is a floating abstraction, a ghost. American foreign policy is made by people: specific individuals who act in what they regard as their own interests...

Corruption as political economy

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by David D'Amato

11/10/11

On its face, it may seem counterintuitive that the halls of government are the source of the great part of society s disorder, poverty and violence. We are taught that the state, representing the interests of the people and the general welfare, is a great parapet against which indigence and crime crash and dissolve. Never is it considered - even while only a small few actually control the mechanisms of power at any given time - that elites might have an interest in perpetuating widespread want and destitution...

'In England erschien 1936 ein Buch mit dem Titel 'The Strange Death of Liberal England' - sinngemäß: 'Der überraschende Untergang des englischen Liberalismus'. Darin versucht der Historiker George Dangerfield zu erklären, warum es Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts zum Niedergang der Ideen und der Partei des Liberalismus kam, die die englische Politik im 19. Jahrhundert dominiert hatten. Heute jedoch besteht die Aufgabe nicht darin, den Untergang des Neoliberalismus infolge der von ihm selbst herbeigeführten Krise zu erklären, sondern vielmehr die Tatsache, dass er nach dem Zusammenbruch der Finanzmärkte politisch einflussreicher dasteht denn je. Obwohl die Krise durch das marktwirtschaftliche Agieren der Banken ausgelöst wurde, sucht man ihre Folgen zu bekämpfen, indem man den Sozialstaat stutzt und die Ausgaben der öffentlichen Hand beschneidet. Und da der Neoliberalismus ein internationales, ja sogar globales Phänomen ist, ist das nicht nur in England der Fall. Wir müssen uns also fragen, wie es zu dem überraschenden Ergebnis kommen konnte, dass der Neoliberalismus nicht untergegangen ist?'

Following a flurry of reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over the past week, alarms have been raised that Syria and Iran may be developing nuclear weapons. Yet regardless of whether the IAEA s mundane findings really justify the scaremongering headlines, an important question needs to be asked: what is this officious UN-affiliated body doing poking its nose into these countries? affairs anyway? The answer, of course, is politics...

'Corporations Are Not People': Activists Push Amendment to Revoke 'Corporate Personhood'

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'After an Election Day that saw a number of wins for progressive causes nationwide, activists opposed to 'corporate personhood' - the notion that corporations have equal rights to individuals - are pushing ahead with a campaign to add a 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would reject the idea that corporations are people and reverse the 2010 landmark case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. In a 5-to-4 vote, the Court ruled corporations have First Amendment rights and that the government cannot impose restrictions on their political speech, clearing the way for corporations and other special interest groups to spend unlimited amounts of money on elections. We speak to John Bonifaz, a constitutional attorney and co-founder and director of Free Speech for People.'

Ohio Labor Movement Defeats Anti-Union Bill and Its Wealthy Supporters

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: 'Ohio s labor movement is celebrating today after voters dealt a hefty blow to Republican Gov. John Kasich on Tuesday by overwhelmingly voting to repeal an anti-collective bargaining law he championed during the past year. Ohioans voted to repeal Senate Bill 5 (SB 5) by a margin of 61 to 38 percent. SB 5 would have limited collective bargaining rights for more than 350,000 public workers in Ohio and increased health care and pension costs for some workers.'

Occupy Movement Inspires Unions to Embrace Bold Tactics

Steven Greenhouse, The New York Times News Service: 'Organized labor s early flirtation with Occupy Wall Street is starting to get serious. Union leaders, who were initially cautious in embracing the Occupy movement, have in recent weeks showered the protesters with help - tents, air mattresses, propane heaters and tons of food. The protesters, for their part, have joined in union marches and picket lines across the nation. About 100 protesters from Occupy Wall Street are expected to join a Teamsters picket line at the Sotheby s auction house in Manhattan on Wednesday night to back the union in a bitter contract fight.'

'Austerity' in practice

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by David D'Amato

11/12/11

Just as the institutional frameworks of the state demand that the laboring classes subsidize the corporate economy, so do the sacrifices of 'austerity' fall unevenly on the poor. Rather than representing prudent and forbearing policies of real frugality, Europe s austerity measures merely mean that those who benefited from the excesses of the state-distorted economy can now make us pay for their crises...

As a US marine who lost close friends in the siege of Fallujah in Iraq seven years ago, I understand that we were the aggressors.

The Pressure Is On: Thousands Encircle White House, Tell Obama to Reject Keystone Pipeline

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: 'Activists of all ages descended on the White House, including more than 1,000 young people. After surrounding the White House, a youth-led breakout march snaked through downtown Washington, DC, carrying the momentum of the Occupy movement along with an inflatable black pipeline replica as long as a city block.'

http://www.truth-out.org/pressure/1320678173



The One Percent Turns Class War Into Generational War

Dean Baker, Truthout: 'There is a commonly repeated view in Washington policy circles, based on no evidence whatsoever, that there will be a disaster if the supercommittee comes up empty handed. This means that members of the committee are feeling great pressure from the 1 percent to produce a package with big cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.'

Poland Steps Into Arab Spring

Robert Stefanicki, Inter Press Service: 'Since mid-year, when Poland took over EU presidency, Polish initiatives aimed at North Africa have gathered speed.

Beyond the Limits of Neoliberal Higher Education

Henry A. Giroux, Campaign for the Public University: 'The global reach and destructiveness of neoliberal values and disciplinary controls are not only evident in the widespread hardships and human suffering caused by the economic recession of 2008, they are also visible in the ongoing and ruthless assault on the social state, workers, unions, higher education, students, and any vestige of the social at odds with neoliberal values.'

The GOP War on Plaintiff Rights

Brad Friedman, Truthout: 'Yeah, I know, the GOP is at War against citizens rights to do just about everything that isn t US Chamber of Commerce approved these days. That s just one of the reasons citizens are finally taking to the streets to fight back. One of the ongoing Republican Wars getting very little attention is their War on the right of citizens to sue huge corporations for negligence, malfeasance, and other wrongdoing.'

Time for the Supercommittee to Fail

Robert Borosage, Campaign For America s Future: 'I have great respect for each of you individually, but collectively I am worried you are going to fail - fail the country,' former White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles, a co-chairman of President Obama s fiscal commission, sternly told the congressional supercommittee last week. Elite pressure is building on the committee to reach for a 'grand bargain' to cut trillions out of the budget deficits over the next 10 years. Last week 100 House members, including 40 Republicans, dispatched a letter urging 'a big, grand bargain' with 'all options' - code for tax hikes - 'on the table.'

The drone mentality

Salon
by Glenn Greenwald

11/05/11

Of course, nobody inside the U.S. Government is objecting on the ground that it is wrong to blow people up without having any knowledge of who they are and without any evidence they have done anything wrong. Rather, the internal dissent is grounded in the concern that these drone attacks undermine U.S. objectives by increasing anti-American sentiment in the region (there s that primitive, inscrutable Muslim culture rearing its head again: they strangely seem to get very angry when foreign governments send sky robots over their countries and blow up their neighbors, teenagers and children)...
