How Maliki and Iran Outsmarted the US on Troop Withdrawal

Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service: 'Defense Secretary Leon Panetta s suggestion that the end of the U.S. troop presence in Iraq is part of a success story ignores the fact that ... the U.S. military had planned to maintain a semi-permanent military presence in Iraq. The real story behind the U.S. withdrawal is how a clever strategy of deception and diplomacy adopted by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in cooperation with Iran ... got the United States to sign the U.S.-Iraq withdrawal agreement.'

The Trial of Bradley Manning: Rule of Law or Rule of Intimidation, Retaliation and Retribution

Ann Wright, War Is A Crime: 'Bradley Manning has been imprisoned for 19 months, since May, 2010, without a trial ... Manning was charged with transferring classified information onto his personal computer and communicating national defense information to an unauthorized source and 'aiding the enemy,' a capital offense ... Manning's lawyer challenged the impartiality of the investigating officer ... citing [his] civilian employment as a lawyer in the Department of Justice which has conducted investigations on Manning, Julian Assange, and Wikileaks.'

12/19/11

Secrecy is the prerequisite for tyranny, and knowledge is the tyrant s worst foe: that s why whistleblowers - from Dan Ellsberg to Bradley Manning - are relentlessly pursued and prosecuted. That s why anyone who tries to give context to their revelations - such as this web site - is attacked and spied on by the government and its shills. That s also why the sickening smear campaign launched against both Manning and Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has taken on the dual aspects of both a witch hunt and a crusade...

Iraq Disaster: Why Do They Hate Us?

Three months ago on December 17th, Occupy Wall Street began with a takeover of New York s Zuccotti Park.... Twenty-four years ago on December 17th, U.S. Army Spc. Bradley Manning was born.... People across the world devoured the information Bradley Manning revealed, and it was used by movements in Egypt, Spain, and eventually Occupy Wall Street to bolster what we already thought was true.'

The World Health Organisation failure at Chernobyl

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qqhm_ZrfhE

This is taken from a documentary made by Swiss TV a few years ago They filmed in the area around Chernobyl and showed the children damaged from birth and later. The food is all contaminated and some of the children are actually radioactive as the radioactive nuclides lodge inside them

Bill of Rights Day: What left of them?

The Daily Caller
by Nat Hentoff

12/15/11

John Jay, the co-writer of the Federalist Papers and the first chief justice of the United States (1789-95), wrote in a 1786 letter to Thomas Jefferson that he was worried that under our evolving founding document that became the Constitution, Congress would have exorbitant power. ... The separation of powers was indeed embodied in the Constitution, but especially in the Bush and Obama administrations, the executive branch has been so disproportionately and unilaterally strengthened that I urge the Cato Institute to actively redistribute, with a short epilogue, its 2008 book by Gene Healy, The Cult of the Presidency: America s Dangerous Devotion to Executive Power. It can make for more crucially discerning voters in 2012...

A proud, angry poor

The Nation
by Frances Fox Piven

12/14/11

Occupy Wall Street has thrust the issue of extreme inequality into the spotlight. The movement has spread so quickly and alarmed politicians not because of its rather small encampments but because its message resonates. Most people know, or at least half-know, that our problem is growing inequality, and they also know that government is complicit in the financially driven capitalism that is in the driver s seat. ... Still, the movement has to respond to the police sweeps of its encampments by becoming broader and more hard-hitting...

The making of the 99%

The Nation
by Barbara Ehrenreich & John Ehrenreich

12/14/11

They have been around for a long time in one form or another, but they began to emerge as a distinct and visible group, informally called the 'superrich,' only in recent years. Extravagant levels of consumption helped draw attention to them.... But as long as the middle class could still muster the credit for college tuition and occasional home improvements, it seemed churlish to complain. Then came the financial crash of 2007-08, followed by the Great Recession, and the 1 percent - to whom we had entrusted our pensions, our economy and our political system - stood revealed as a band of feckless, greedy narcissists, and possibly sociopaths...

The inevitable war with Iran

The overly ambitious and ethically challenged wannabes who pass as statesmen in today s United States fail to appreciate that the feckless promises made in their lust for high office could produce a catastrophic result. War is serious stuff, as the past 10 years have surely taught us, and Iran, which has had seven years to prepare for an attack, is a much larger and tougher nut than Iraq and Afghanistan combined...

Kristine Frazao, RT America: 'Yesterday the US Congress voted to pass the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. The 86 to 13 vote will allow the indefinite detention and torture of American citizens at home and abroad without a trial.

Jason Leopold, deputy managing editor for TruthOut.Org, joins us to discuss this Act.'

Obama: Twisted Version of American Exceptionalism' Laid Bare

Jason Leopold, Truthout: 'Obama declared the week of December 10th as Human Rights Week, the same week Congress is set to pass the National Defense Authorization Act ... legislation that would grant the president the power to indefinitely imprison without charge ... anyone suspected of terrorist activity in the US. When the US voted in favor of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it promised to uphold several ideals, including one that said, 'no one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention, or exile.'

Mark Karlin, Truthout: 'Tom Engelhardt: Americans ... are now remarkably detached and insulated from the wars fought in our name and, increasingly, even those wars are fought with an eerie detachment, at least the drone part of them. In essence 1% of Americans who run things send 1% of Americans (those in the armed services) out to fight their wars and the other 98% are left out of things.

Occupy Bewegung und Gewerkschaften: Nicht so problemlos...

Der Aufruf von occupy Oakland, am 12. Dezember die Häfen der US-Westküste zu blockieren, ist von Ort zu Ort auf sehr unterschiedliches Echo gestoßen. Und auch bei den Gewerkschaften, insbesondere bei der im US-Gewerkschaftsspektrum eher linksaußen angesieldeten ILWU, die Hafenarbeitergewerkschaft, in deren Reihen es offensichtlich sehr viele Debatten um diese Aktion gegeben hat, wie in dem ausführlichen Überblick 'West Coast Port Shutdown Sparks Heated Debate between Unions, Occupy' von Evan Rohar am 12. Dezember 2011 in den LaborNotes deutlich wird: http://labornotes.org/2011/12/west-coast-port-shutdown-sparks-heated-debate-between-unions-occupy

Siehe dazu auch: 'With Port Actions, Occupy Oakland Tests Labor Leaders' von MALIA WOLLAN und STEVEN GREENHOUSE am 13. Dezember 2011 in der New York Times - als ein Beispiel dafür, wie genüßlich die bürgerliche Presse versucht, diese Differenzen auszuschlachten..: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/14/us/occupy-oakland-angers-labor-leaders.html?_r=2&src=rechp

Sowie: In 'Solidarity Divided: Occupy Protesters Shut Down Ports Without Union s Support' berichtet der Autor Mike Elk am 13. Dezember 2011 in Working in These Times über Gewerkschaftsmitglieder, die den Beschluss des Vorstandes, sich nicht an der Aktion zu beteiligen, kritisieren: http://www.inthesetimes.com/working/entry/12418/protesters_shut_down_ports_without_unions_support/

Und: Bereits im Vorfeld der Aktion am 09. Dezember 2011 in 'Occupy vs. Big Labor' hatte die Autorin Emily Loftis in salon.com die gesamte Situation auch auf das Wirken großer Unternehmen und die mit ihnen unterzeichneten Abkommen, sowie das Zurückschrecken der Gewerkschaft vor eventuellen juristischen Schritten der Gegenseite mit in die Betrachtung aufgenommen - und die Stimmen vieler Gewerkschaftsmitglieder für die Aktion gesammelt:

Bodies in Alliance: Gender Theorist Judith Butler on the Occupy and SlutWalk Movements

Kyle Bella, Truthout: 'The demand is for a radical economic and political restructuring of the world. And most people would say that s impossible. And it may or may not be achieved, but I think that s less important than articulating what a just and fair world can be. This can t be the kind of movement where you have your six demands ... There is no one individual who runs it. It is a structure, a system.'

Occupy Supporters Should Reach Out to Local Economic Justice Campaigns

Annette Bernhardt and Anastasia Christman, Truthout: 'The promise of the 99 percent banner is that it can forge common cause among constituencies that often remain balkanized from one another - by class, race, gender, immigration status, sexual identity and politics. But in order for that collective learning to happen, people have to get involved - all kinds of people, in all kinds of struggles. And the good news is, there s a wide and rich menu of campaigns to choose from.'

American troops will not go far from Iraq - they will be re-deployed to next door Kuwait. 'This is just a re-shuffle of the cards. Americans could always come back because the bases will be kept intact, while 20,000 personnel means that most of the staff will be there,' Ranjit Singh Kalha said.

Secret Accounts of Iraq Massacre Found in Junk Yard

Michael S. Schmidt, The New York Times News Service: 'The Marines sat down, swore to tell the truth and gave secret interviews discussing one of the most horrific episodes of America s time in Iraq: the 2005 massacre by Marines of Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha ... Four-hundred pages of interrogations, once guarded as secrets of war, were supposed to have been destroyed as the last American troops prepare to leave Iraq. Instead, they were discovered ... at a junkyard outside Baghdad.'

Lehman Brothers: Financially and Morally Bankrupt

Richard D. Wolff, The Guardian UK: 'Consider the irony: governments today impose austerity on the rest of us because 'the markets' demand no less to keep credit flowing to those governments. Behind this dubious abstraction - 'the markets' - hide the chief lenders to governments. Those are the same global banks that received the government bailouts paid for by massive government borrowing since 2007. 'Thieves,' mutter the Occupy Wall Street folk - and who can blame them?'

Nur mit dem Ende des Lohndumping ist Europa zu retten

14. Dezember 2011

Der gewerkschaftspolitische Sprecher des Parteivorstands der LINKEN, Michael Schlecht, erklärt zum heute vorgestellten 4-Punkte-Plan des DGB für einen Kurswechsel in Europa:

Um die Krise zu stoppen, muss die EZB für eine direkte Finanzierung der Staaten bereit stehen. Diese auch von der LINKEN geteilte Forderung des DGB ist ausdrücklich zu begrüßen. Der DGB fordert ein europäisches Zukunftsprogramm. Das Programm ist ein zentrales Instrument zur Reduzierung der wirtschaftlichen Ungleichgewichte und unterstützt auch den Abbau der Leistungsbilanzdefizite. Im Grundsatz ist dem nichts hinzuzufügen. Leider macht der DGB keine Angaben zum Umfang des Zukunftsprogrammes. Auch die Finanzierung lediglich mit Zwangsanleihen zu bestreiten ist viel zu wenig. DIE LINKE fordert ein Zukunftsprogramm für Deutschland von 125 Milliarden jährlich und eine europaweite einmalige Vermögensabgabe von möglicherweise 50 Prozent auf große Vermögen. Der DGB will in den Ländern mit einem hohen Leistungsbilanzüberschuss, insbesondere Deutschland, die Binnennachfrage durch höhere Masseneinkommen steigern. In Anbetracht einer Lohnabsenkung von preisbereinigt 4,5 Prozent seit 2000 ist ein Konzept erforderlich, um in der Tarifpolitik wieder die umfassende Gestaltungsmacht für die Einkommensentwicklung zu erlangen. Insbesondere der Kampf um die Überwindung der Agenda 2010, die Beseitigung von Leiharbeit, Befristungen, Minijobs und Hartz IV ist daher zwingend notwendig. Ein weiterer Baustein ist die sofortige Einführung des flächendeckenden gesetzlichen Mindestlohnes von 10 Euro.

Gingrich s Tax Plan Would Cause Perpetual Trillion Dollar Deficits, Triple the Debt by 2024

Seth Hanlon, ThinkProgress: 'Gingrich's plan would violate basic notions of fairness by requiring middle-class families to pay higher tax rates than millionaires. But that s not all that s wrong with it. Gingrichs plan is by far the most fiscally reckless plan to be released by a major 2012 contender. The magnitude of the tax cuts he is proposing to the wealthy and corporations would drive the debt to unprecedented and dangerous levels even if federal spending is cut drastically.'

Newt s Tax Plan, and Why His Polls Rise the More Outrageous He Becomes

Robert Reich, Robert Reich s Blog: 'Newt Gingrich has done it again. With his new tax plan he has raised the bar from irresponsibility to recklessness ... First off, Newt s plan increases the federal budget deficit by about $850 billion - in a single year! ... Most of this explosion of debt in Newt s plan occurs because he slashes taxes. But not just anyone s taxes. The lion s share of Newt s tax cuts benefit the very, very rich.'

Surviving the Second Gilded Age

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'It has become difficult to not recognize that we are firmly in the grip of a second Gilded Age. Not only is this return obvious in the homage - if not hysteria - that marks a return to the dream worlds of consumption, commodification and a survival-of-the-fittest ethic, but also in the actions of right-wing politicians who want to initiate policies that take the country back to the late 19th century.'

How the Federal Reserve Fights

Matt Stoller, Naked Capitalism: 'Bloomberg released a story on the actions of the Federal Reserve as the lender of last resort during the crisis and the extent of that lending. It revealed lending and guarantees of roughly $8 trillion, and estimated government-granted profit garnered by the big banks of $13 billion. More disturbing were inconsistent statements by Bernanke publicly claiming he was lending only to sound institutions when the Fed s internal assessments of those same banks showed otherwise.'

In fact, the encampments engendered almost unthinkable convergences: people from comfortable backgrounds learning about street survival from the homeless, a distinguished professor of political science discussing horizontal versus vertical decision-making with a postal worker, military men in dress uniforms showing up to defend the occupiers from the police.*

Can Broadened 'Counterterrorism' Rules Open Door to Indefinitely Detaining Peaceful Protesters?

J.A. Myerson, Truthout: 'In passing the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Congress, in the words of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), has just voted to, 'authorize the military to go literally anywhere in the world to imprison civilians - even American citizens in the United States itself - without charge or trial./ The ACLU calls it what it is: 'Prison based on suspicion alone.'

Shahid Buttar, Truthout: 'The NDAA s military detention provisions thus represent a frontal attack on the Fifth Amendment (which once guaranteed due process) and the Sixth Amendment (which once ensured the rights to trial, access to counsel and an opportunity to confront accusers). They also deeply erode the First Amendment - but in a less obvious way, and a way in which any activist would do well to consider.'

Angst vor dem Absturz und der kulturellen Vielfalt führt zum Hass auf Minderheiten

Nach dem Abschlussbericht der Studie über die 'Deutschen Zustände' leben wir in explosiven Zeiten, weil Unsicherheit Fremdenfeindlichkeit, Rassismus, Rechtspopulismus und Gewaltbereitschaft verstärkt.

Why conservatives cannot fix poverty

In These Times
by James Thindwa

12/11/11

Newt Gingrich s recent utterances about poor children ... reflect not only the inability of conservatives to talk seriously about poverty, but a mean-spiritedness that, unfortunately, largely eludes public scrutiny. ... Conservatives enjoy being told that poverty is caused by the bad behavior of its victims .... It is always easier to blame victims than to contemplate real solutions...

Sind die Deutschen 'ausgesprochen fremdenfreundlich' oder gibt es eine 'anhaltend menschenfeindliche Situation' in Deutschland?

Fast zeitgleich werden von deutschen Wissenschaftlern zwei Studien vorgelegt, die sich mit Fremdenfeindlichkeit oder, allgemeiner, mit gruppenbezogener Menschenfeindlichkeit in Deutschland beschäftigt haben. Beide Studien waren auf 10 Jahre angelegt und kommen zu sehr unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen.
