Wars without end

CounterPunch
by Howard Lisnoff

12/22/11

And the symbols that militarism uses have a great hold on the ordinary people who labor and live within the system. The flag, patriotic songs, and the glamor of military service are drummed into the psyches of children from the time they reach kindergarten age until they become adults. The cold war so easily morphed into the war on terrorism! And the consumerist ethos brings the rest of the population into the fold...

The war that will never end

CounterPunch
by Sarah Lazarre

01/04/12

But the 'end' of the Iraq war does not signal an end to US foreign policy based on brute self-interest, geopolitical control, and military empire. There was no apology, no talk of reparations, and no stated intention to shift direction. The 'security' contractors and private companies will not leave anytime soon, and many soldiers will simply be transferred to 'the good war' in Afghanistan or sent to one of 800 US bases around the world...

Occupy the Corporation

Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: 'Imagine a democratic alternative to police evictions of Occupy encampments across America s cities and towns. What if the decision to evict or not had been made by referendum? ... But that never happened in a society where private corporations own parks, lots and other possible Occupy sites. The corporate shareholders and boards of directors of those sites, a tiny minority of the population, could shut down Occupy encampments by invoking property rights.'

Thirty Thousand Chinese 'Occupy' Highway to Protest Polluting Coal Plants

Stephen Lacey, ThinkProgress: 'Tens of thousands of residents in China s southern Guandong Province gathered in the streets yesterday, occupying a highway to demonstrate against the development of a new coal plant near Shantou city. The residents say existing coal plants in the area are fouling local air and water, and are making people sick. Each year, protests spring up to counter the construction of dirty coal plants. But this appears to be the biggest yet.'

The Way to Occupy a Bank Is to Own One

Ellen Brown, Truthout: 'The '99 Percent Declaration' seeks everything from reining in the corporate state to ending the Fed to eliminating censorship of the Internet. But none of these demands seems to go to the heart of what prompted Occupiers to camp out on Wall Street in the first place - a corrupt banking system that serves the 1 percent at the expense of the 99 percent. To redress that, we need a banking system that serves the 99 percent.'

Follow English Commoners' Lead: Band Together to Force Corporate Reform

Jeffrey R. McCord, Truthout: 'In recent years, senior Wall Street managers relentlessly pursued short-term profit and personal windfalls by any and all means while bringing Main Street to its knees (where it remains to this day.) Meanwhile, most of the managers remain where they were - comfortably in charge and gazing upon the tents of Occupy Wall Street protesters. The problem of bad corporate governance, of course, extends well beyond Wall Street, into the executive suites of many non-banking Fortune 500 members.'

Meet the Republican chickenhawks

Antiwar.com
by Philip Giraldi

12/22/11

Nearly all the Republican presidential candidates are showing their muscles, supporting the war on terror and a robust military while also vowing to do whatever it takes to disarm Iran. They know that it is essential to play the jingoistic 'American exceptionalism' card, and they understand that being president also means becoming commander in chief of America s armed forces with the responsibility for committing U.S. soldiers to die for their country. But how are they qualified to do that?

Chief among the difficulties that scientists face: the political environment for new climate-science initiatives has turned hostile, and with the federal budget crisis, money is tight.'

Soziale Sicherung in Deutschland

'Dieses Positionspapier ist das Ergebnis einer langjährigen Betrachtung der sozialen Sicherungssysteme durch die vorgenannten Gruppierungen. Es hinterfragt sehr kritisch, warum die gesetzliche Sozialversicherung in der Gesellschaft so abwertend gesehen wird und kritisiert die eklatante Schlechterstellung der gesetzlich Versicherten. Es zeigt ebenfalls auf, dass die betriebliche und private zweite Säule der Altersversorgung durch permanente, teils rückwirkende gesetzliche Eingriffe beeinträchtigt und entwertet wurde?? Positionspapier vom Dezember 2011 von Aktion Demokratische Gemeinschaft e.V. ? ADG, Betriebsrentner e.V. ? BRV, Bündnis für Rentenbeitragszahler und Rentner e.V., BRR und das Büro gegen Altersdiskriminierung (pdf) http://www.altersdiskriminierung.de/download/Positionspapier-12-12-2011.pdf

Am 5. September referierte Otto Teufel, vom Verdi-Ortsverein-Lübeck kommend, beim Verdi-Ortsverein-Leer vor interessierten Bürgern, über seine fast 30jährige Auseinandersetzung mit der gesetzlichen Deutschen Rentenversicherung. Nun liegt die Dokumentation des Vortrags als Video bei youtube vor:

Niedrigzins, Börsencrash, Inflationsangst: Die Zukunft der privaten Altersvorsorge

Wie kann man trotz Niedrigzins und Inflationsangst noch fürs Alter vorsorgen? Die Rendite der Lebensversicherungspolicen fällt 2012 weiter ab, die Einnahmen brechen weg, die Riester-Rente hat ein Imageproblem. manager magazin hat neun Experten zur Zukunft der privaten Altersvorsorge befragt - mit kontroversen und überraschenden Ergebnissen. Artikel von Lutz Reiche im Manager Magazin vom 20.12.2011 http://www.manager-magazin.de/finanzen/versicherungen/0,2828,804784,00.html

Aus dem Text die Position von Werner Rätz: 'Es war und ist offensichtlich, dass kapitalgedeckte Systeme der Daseinsvorsorge ein zentrales Problem der Kapitalmärkte verschärfen: Sie schichten Geld zeitweise aus dem gesellschaftlichen Konsum in den Investitionsfonds um, obwohl es schon bislang eher zu wenige sichere und ausreichend profitable Anlagemöglichkeiten gibt als zuviele. Das führt zu immer riskanteren Anlagestrategien und -produkten. (..) 'Daseinsvorsorge ist öffentliche Aufgabe. ... Die Förderung privater Geldanlage ... aus öffentlichen Mitteln muss sofort eingestellt werden. Stattdessen ist ein öffentliches System notwendig, das umlagefinanziert ist und alle Einkommen vom ersten Cent bis zum letzten Euro erfasst.'

Ron Paul challenges the GOP mindless militarism

Reason
by Jacob Sullum

12/21/11

Reporters routinely describe Ron Paul s foreign policy views as 'isolationist' because he opposes the promiscuous use of military force. This is like calling him a recluse because he tries to avoid fistfights. The implicit assumption that violence is the only way to interact with the world reflects the oddly circumscribed nature of foreign policy debates in mainstream American politics. It shows why Paul s perspective is desperately needed in the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination...

Power corrupts

The Daily Reckoning
by Bill Bonner

12/20/11

The genius of modern democracy is that it makes the citizen a party to his own enslavement. Rather than give up 10% of his output to his feudal lord and master, he gives up 30% to 50% to his democratically-elected bosses. They tell him what to do. And he believes he is giving the orders! And then, he believes he has discovered the best form of government in the world. It is so good he can t wait to force others to be democrats too!

That $335 Million Bank of America Settlement: The Good, the Bad and the Very Ugly

Richard (R.J.) Eskow, Campaign for America's Future: 'The Obama Administration announced a $335 million settlement deal with Bank of America to settle charges of discriminatory lending practices ... The proposed agreement seems designed to do only the bare minimum its framers hoped would be needed to quell public outrage. While it will be sold as bold and decisive, it s not. In fact, this deal perpetuates some of the worst failings of past settlements the government s made with big banks.'

Pakistan disputes US findings on deadly airstrike

CNN

12/26/11

Pakistan s government has formally disputed the findings of a U.S. investigation into a November airstrike that killed 24 Pakistanis, saying the bombardment went on long after it reported its troops were under fire. In a letter to the U.S. Congress, Pakistan said its troops came under fire at well-identified border posts and that NATO commanders knew helicopter gunships were firing on Pakistani forces 'within the first fifteen minutes', yet the attack continued for more than another hour...

Other Victims: US Soldiers

Jason Leopold, Truthout: 'The Iraq war isn t over. For tens of thousands of soldiers returning from the battlefield, it never will be. Some of these men and women will turn to alcohol and drugs to ease their mental injuries; some will end up homeless, unemployed and divorced ... Most will be forgotten. Fortunately, there are journalists like Joshua Phillips who have taken great pains to preserve the memories of a handful of veterans whose lives have been ravaged by the war.'

How an American born outside the U.S. responds to the National Defense Authorization Act

Spending billions on Cold War weapons systems

The Defining Issue: Not Government s Size, but Who It s For

Robert Reich, Robert Reich s Blog: 'So we keep spending billions on Cold War weapons systems like nuclear attack submarines, aircraft carriers, and manned combat fighters that pump up the bottom lines of Bechtel, Martin-Marietta, and their ilk, but have nothing to do with 21st-century combat. Declining tax receipts are also driving the deficit. That s partly because most Americans have less income to tax these days.'

Why We All Need to Experience Occupy Wall Street

Preston Elrod, Truthout: 'What the Occupy movement makes evident, as most of us are painfully aware, is that the current political economy does not work for most Americans, nor does it work for our brothers and sisters around the world. Yet, it does not tell us what to think. Instead, it encourages us to think and to learn through the countless discussions that take place each day at occupation sites around the country and abroad.'

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'The Occupy Wall Street protests refuse a notion of society that embraces a definition of agency in which people are viewed only as commodities, bound together in a Darwinian nightmare that celebrates the logic of greed, unchecked individualism and a disdain for democratic values. Joining with students in the Occupy movement is not merely a career choice; it is a choice about what kind of society we all want to live in.'

Crippling the Right to Organize: GOP Inaction May Leave National Labor Relations Board Inoperable

Video

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: 'The National Labor Relations Board, the government body that oversees labor complaints, is on the verge of being shut down ... Unless a solution is found, the NLRB would be frozen come January. Without the NLRB, workers would lose their legal recourse to defend their right to organize and to protect themselves against anti-union activity by employers.'

Three Million Could Lose Jobless Pay in Impasse

Robert Pear, The New York Times News Service: 'More than three million people stand to lose unemployment insurance benefits in the near future because of an impasse in Congress over how to extend the aid and how to offset the cost. Jobless benefits have been overshadowed by debate on a payroll tax cut, but have become a huge sticking point in negotiations on a bill that deals with both issues.'

The Drone That Fell From the Sky

Nick Turse, TomDispatch: 'That report and striking new statistics obtained from the military offer insights into underexamined flaws in drone technology. They are also a reminder of the failure of journalists to move beyond awe when it comes to high-tech warfare and America's latest wonder weapons, their curious inability to examine the stark limitations of man and machine that can send even the most advanced military technology hurtling to Earth.'

Ron Paul leads in new poll

US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) USA Today

'Here comes ... Ron Paul.

12/19/11

A new survey by left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) finds the Texas congressman now leading for the GOP nomination in Iowa, where voters cast the first ballots of the 2012 presidential contest on Jan. 3. ... Paul s rise comes as Newt Gingrich fades. The former House speaker has dropped nine percentage points nationally since the beginning of the month, according to the Gallup daily tracking poll...

Why Ron Paul s surge is making them nervous

Bumper Hornberger Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

12/19/11

While big government statists in both the Republican and Democrat parties remain mystified over Ron Paul s surge in the polls in Iowa, the ones who seem most confounded by this phenomenon are the members of the mainstream media, who themselves are statist to the core. They just can t figure out how it s possible that increasing numbers of people are gravitating to the Paul campaign, especially when the mainstream media has either ignored Paul s campaign or done its best to ridicule Paul s libertarian positions...

'Freedom' an Instrument of Oppression

George Monbiot, The Guardian UK: 'But rightwing libertarians do not recognise this conflict. They speak ... as if the same freedom affects everybody in the same way. They assert their freedom to pollute, exploit, even...to kill, as if these were fundamental human rights. They characterise any attempt to restrain them as tyranny. They refuse to see that there is a clash between the freedom of the pike and the freedom of the minnow.'

In Strikes on Libya by NATO, an Unspoken Civilian Toll

NATO s seven-month air campaign in Libya, hailed by the alliance and many Libyans for blunting a lethal crackdown by Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi and helping to push him from power, came with an unrecognized toll: scores of civilian casualties the alliance has long refused to acknowledge or investigate.

Anjali Appadurai Says, 'Get It Done'

Blackwater schönt seinen Namen

'Im Irak war die Söldnerfirma Blackwater für Massaker verantwortlich. Sie wurde zum Symbol für die Brutalität der Besatzung. Um den üblen Ruf loszuwerden, benennt die Firma sich jetzt um, schon zum zweiten Mal.Wer die Website von Xe Services aufruft, der glaubt inzwischen fast, bei Amnesty International gelandet zu sein. Von 'Integrität' ist da die Rede und von 'Würde', auf einem Bild hält ein Xe-Mitarbeiter sogar zwei dunkelhäutige Kinder an der Hand. Da könnte man fast vergessen, dass die Firma einmal Blackwater hieß und im Irak dafür berühmt wurde, zwischen Zivilisten und Terroristen kaum einen Unterschied zu machen. Wohl um die letzte Erinnerung auszulöschen, benennt die Söldnerfirma sich ein zweites Mal um. Aus Xe Services wird jetzt Academi...' afp-Meldung in der Frankfurter Rundschau vom 13.12.11 http://www.fr-online.de/politik/xe-services--blackwater-schoent-seinen-namen,1472596,11300742.html

Die Verarmung wird überhaupt nicht wahrgenommen: Armut und Ernährung in Deutschland

Interview mit Guido Grüner von der Arbeitslosenselbsthilfe Oldenburg

'Die wachsende soziale Ungleichheit spiegelt sich auch in der Ernährungssituation wider. Laut Studien ernähren sich Menschen mit niedrigem Einkommen schlechter als Reiche, was sich auch in einer durchschnittlich niedrigeren Lebenserwartung niederschlägt. Die DA sprach mit Guido Grüner von der Arbeitslosenselbsthilfe Oldenburg (ALSO) über Tafelwirtschaft und Widerstand gegen die Monopole in der Nahrungsmittelindustrie?'

Demonstration gegen Wohnungsnot. Wohnen für alle bleibt das Ziel

'Gemeinsam demonstrieren die Occupy-Bewegung und das Netzwerk 'Wem gehört die Stadt' gegen steigende Mieten und die Verknappung des Wohnraums in Frankfurt. Die Occupier kündigen unterdessen weitere Aktionen an - ihr Camp ist mittlerweile winterfest?'

»Lasst uns über unsere Zukunft reden. Jetzt!«

Um die Probleme der gegenwärtigen Wirtschaftskrise zu verdeutlichen, legen Aktivisten von Occupy:Frankfurt eine Szenarioanalyse in den Sprachen Deutsch und Englisch vor. Das Arbeitspapier enthält keine Ansichten oder Forderungen von Occupy:Frankfurt, die Bewegung möchte hiermit allerdings zu einer aktiveren öffentlichen Debatte über die europäische Vision und das Finanzsystem aufrufen.

Occupy Production (Übernehmt die Produktion)

'Die Occupy-Bewegung entwickelt sich weiter und sie sucht dabei Lösungen für die ökonomischen und politischen Fehlfunktionen, die sie bloßstellt und denen sie entgegen tritt. Für viele ist das kapitalistische Wirtschaftssystem selbst das grundsätzliche Problem. Sie wollen den Wechsel in ein anderes System, aber nicht die traditionelle sozialistische Alternative (wie in der UdSSR oder in China). Auch dieses System braucht, wie es scheint, einen grundsätzlichen Wandel. Die gemeinsame Lösung, die von diesen Aktivisten vorgeschlagen wird, ist ein Wandel der Produktionsverhältnisse in beiden Systemen von Grund auf. Jedes Unternehmen sollte demokratisiert werden. Die Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter sollten ihren Betrieb übernehmen und kollektiv als Vorstand und Management tätig werden. Das würde das kapitalistische Ausbeutungssystem (Unternehmer versus Beschäftigte) abschaffen, wie unsere historischen Vorfahren die parallelen Ausbeutungssysteme der Sklaverei (Sklavenhalter versus Sklave) und des Feudalismus (Herr versus Knecht) abgeschafft haben??

'Empire'-Autor über Globalisierung: 'Nicht alle linken Perspektiven sind gut"

Globalisierungskritiker Michael Hardt über Aufstände gegen Diktaturen, Bewegungen gegen den Finanzkapitalismus und Optimismus in einem Zyklus der Kämpfe. Interview von von Tania Martini in der taz vom 16.12.2011 http://www.taz.de/!83851/

Aus dem Text: '? Als der Slogan 'Wahre Demokratie jetzt!' in der Bewegung des 15. Mai in Spanien erklang, schien das vielen zunächst sehr naiv. Ich glaube, diese Naivität wurde gefördert durch den Ruf nach Demokratie in Tunesien und Ägypten. Aber jetzt, im Laufe des Jahres, stellt sich heraus, dass die Rehabilitierung des Demokratiekonzepts und das Verlangen nach einer wirklichen Bewegung etwas Neues an dem gegenwärtigen Zyklus der Kämpfe ist. (?) Mir geht es eher darum, einen Konstituierungsprozess wirklicher Demokratie einzuleiten, die über die republikanische Figur der Repräsentation hinausgeht. Die Frage ist, wie diese Miniaturexperimente, das Ausprobieren von Demokratie auf den Plätzen in Madrid und anderswo, in die Gesellschaft zu übertragen wären??


Occupy: 'Mehr als ein Aufstand gegen die Ackermänner'
