Ronnie Cummins, AlterNet: ''For nearly two decades, Monsanto and corporate agribusiness have exercised near-dictatorial control over American agriculture, aided and abetted by indentured politicians and regulatory agencies, supermarket chains, giant food processors, and the so-called 'natural' products industry. Finally, public opinion around the biotech industry s contamination of our food supply and destruction of our environment has reached the tipping point. We are fighting back.''

David Swanson, War Is A Crime: ''The Vermont State Senate voted today calling for an amendment to the Constitution that would make clear that corporations are not people and money is not speech and can be regulated in political campaigns. The vote was 26-3. State Senator Virginia Lyons spearheaded the effort, working with Move to Amend in 2011 to introduce a resolution that came back this year.''

GOP Presidential Contenders' Goofy Greed

Jim Hightower, Creators Syndicate: ''But who needs actual voters to be a presidential player these days? Gingrich s entire campaign consists of six men: Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito, Kennedy, Scalia and Thomas of the Supreme Court, and Sheldon Adelson of the Sands Casino empire in Las Vegas. The five Supremes are the ones who unleashed the plague of democracy-destroying corporate cash on our elections, and Adelson is the multibillionaire Republican extremist who has taken rich advantage of the Court s 2010 ruling and foisted Newt upon us.''

Because, writes Alec MacGillis in The New Republic the president wants to raise their taxes.

Publicly-traded companies have been and can be transformed into elaborate schemes to loot and steal from the public and enrich a tiny handful of oligarchs.''

Why Washington s Iran Policy Could Lead to Global Disaster

Juan Cole, TomDispatch: ''It s a policy fierce enough to cause great suffering among Iranians and possibly in the long run among Americans, too. It might, in the end, even deeply harm the global economy and yet, history tells us, it will fail on its own. Economic war led by Washington will not take down the Iranian government or bring it to the bargaining table on its knees ready to surrender its nuclear program. It might, however, lead to actual armed conflict with incalculable consequences.''

Die Bundesregierung lässt weiterhin Lobbyisten direkt in den Ministerien mitarbeiten. Das zeigt der aktuelle Bericht über sogenannte ''externe Mitarbeiter'' in den Bundesbehörden für das zweite Halbjahr 2011. Besonders brisant sind zwei Mitarbeiter des Bundesverbands der Deutschen Industrie (BDI), die im Auswärtigen Amt und im Entwicklungsministerium eingesetzt werden.

Der BDI-Mitarbeiter im Auswärtigen Amt soll sich dort laut Bericht mit folgenden Themen beschäftigen: ''Investitionsgarantien, Organisation von Projekten der Außenwirtschaftsförderung und der strukturellen Verbesserung der Zusammenarbeit mit Wirtschaftsverbänden''. Damit berührt seine Tätigkeit dort klar die kommerziellen Interessen der BDI-Mitglieder. Die Verwaltungsvorschrift für externe Mitarbeiter sagt dagegen ganz klar, dass der Einsatz externer Mitarbeiter in ''Funktionen, deren Ausübung die konkreten Geschäftsinteressen der entsendenden Stelle unmittelbar berührt'' grundsätzlich nicht zulässig ist. Das Auswärtige Amt unter der Leitung von Guido Westerwelle verletzt damit unserer Einschätzung nach die Vorschriften.

Das Gesetz HB 56 in Alabama erlaubt Identitätskontrollen auf Verdacht. Zahlreiche kirchliche, menschenrechtliche und gewerkschaftliche Gruppen protestieren. Artikel von Dorothea Hahn in der TAZ vom 04.04.2012 http://www.taz.de/Kontrollgesetz-in-Alabama/!90934/

Aus dem Text: ''(?) Der House Bill Number 56, kurz HB 56 genannt, erlaubt der Polizei Identitätskontrollen, wann immer sie den Verdacht hat, dass ein Verstoß gegen Einwanderungsregeln vorliegt. Zudem kriminalisiert das Gesetz jede Dienstleistung für ''Illegale'': vom Transport in Fahrzeugen, über Beschäftigung, Vergabe von Sozialleistungen bis hin zur Vermietung von Wohnraum. (?) Zu den ersten Opfern des neuen Übereifers gegenüber AusländerInnen in Alabama gehörte ein Mercedes-Manager. Als er im November mit seinem Mietwagen kontrolliert wird, hat er nur seinen deutschen Ausweis dabei. Die Polizei nahm ihn sofort fest?''

The Invisible Hand Is Invisible Because It Isn t There

Elena Callahan, New Deal 2.0: ''[Economist Joseph] Stiglitz says that 'most Americans don t realize that we are no longer the country of opportunity that we think of ourselves, that America today has less equality of opportunity than any of the other advanced industrial countries ... if you are going to be judging how well an economy is doing, clearly I think the key metric that one wants to focus on is what is happening to the living standards of most citizens.'''

Sometimes a step back helps to provide perspective on a matter. President Obama provided such a step with his March 16 Executive Order, National Defense Resources Preparedness. In it we see in detail how completely the government may control our lives, euphemistically called the 'industrial and technological base' if the president were to declare a national emergency. It is instructive, if tedious, reading...

Arun Gupta, Truthout: ''By enabling people to find fulfillment in all parts of their lives ... the Occupy movement is more than a movement. It is life-changing.

The emergence of every mass movement makes sense in hindsight, but no one could have predicted hundreds of occupations and thousands of groups would pop up across the United States just weeks after a ragged encampment secured a tenuous foothold on Wall Street last September.''
