Urban Uprisings From Occupy Wall Street to the Paris Commune

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: ''On Tuesday, May 1st, known as May Day or International Workers' Day, Occupy Wall Street protesters hope to mobilize tens of thousands of people across the country under the slogan, 'General Strike. No Work. No Shopping. Occupy Everywhere.' Events are planned in 125 cities. We speak with leading social theorist David Harvey, distinguished professor of anthropology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, about how Occupy Wall Street compares to other large-scale grassroots movements throughout modern history.''

Occupy Oakland, Workers Back Off May Day Plan to Shut Down Golden Gate Bridge

Susie Cagle, AlterNet: ''May Day protest actions are planned across the region, state and nation, but many eyes are on the flashpoint of Occupy Oakland, where organizers say 'traditional labor and precarious workers will strike together for the first time' at Occupy s call. 'It's an interesting convergence of unorganized labor and the Occupy movement creating this pressure and momentum that encourages the rank and file to plan strikes on this day,' said Steven Angell, an organizer with Occupy Oakland.''

The Implosion of Capitalism

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: ''When the most basic elements that sustain life are reduced to a cash product, life has no intrinsic value. The extinguishing of 'primitive' societies, those that were defined by animism and mysticism, those that celebrated ambiguity and mystery, those that respected the centrality of the human imagination, removed the only ideological counterweight to a self-devouring capitalist ideology.... The war on the Native Americans ... was waged to eradicate not only a people but a competing ethic.''

UN-Kritik am Sparkurs

UN-Kritik am Sparkurs. ILO-Bericht: EU soll Binnennachfrage und Arbeitsmarkt stärken

''Eine UN-Organisation übt scharfe Kritik am Sparkurs der Bundesregierung und warnt vor wachsender Arbeitslosigkeit in Europa, sollte nicht in Wachstum investiert werden?'' Artikel von Marc Engelhardt in Neues Deutschland vom 30.04.2012 http://www.neues-deutschland.de/artikel/225542.un-kritik-am-sparkurs.html

Demographische Folgen der Eurokrise

?Im Kielwasser der Eurokrise unterwirft sich die Staatengemeinschaft einer selbstmörderischen Sparpolitik. Bereits heute haben die Arbeitslosenzahlen südeuropäischer Staaten einen Wert erreicht, der an die schlimmsten Wirtschaftskrisen vergangener Zeiten erinnert. Dies wird zwangsläufig zu Migrationsbewegungen von der Peripherie ins Zentrum führen, die Europa zwar enger zusammenwachsen lassen, allerdings vor allem die Peripherie noch weiter schwächen. Wenn die europäische Politik diesem Trend nicht entgegensteuert, sondern ihn weiter verstärkt, könnten ganze Staaten vom gemeinsamen Wohlstand abgehängt werden?'' Artikel von Jens Berger vom 26. April 2012 bei den Nachdenkseiten http://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=13006


''D'' als Lohndrücker

EU-Vergleich der Arbeitskosten und Lohnnebenkosten für das Jahr 2011

''Arbeitgeber in der deutschen Privatwirtschaft bezahlten im Jahr 2011 durchschnittlich 30,10 Euro für eine geleistete Arbeitsstunde. Wie das Statistische Bundesamt (Destatis) weiter mitteilt, lag das Arbeitskostenniveau in Deutschland damit innerhalb der Europäischen Union (EU) auf Rang sieben. Arbeitgeber in der deutschen Privatwirtschaft zahlten 32 % mehr für eine Stunde Arbeit als im Durchschnitt der EU, aber 12 % weniger als zum Beispiel im Nachbarland Frankreich. Über einen längeren Zeitraum betrachtet nimmt Deutschland bei der Entwicklung der Arbeitskosten in der Privatwirtschaft eine Sonderstellung ein: Zwischen 2001 und 2011 hatte Deutschland mit + 19,4 % den mit Abstand geringsten Anstieg der Arbeitskosten aller Mitgliedstaaten der EU. Zum Vergleich: In Frankreich sind die Arbeitskosten in diesem Zeitraum mit + 39,2 % mehr als doppelt so stark gestiegen?'' Pressemitteilung des Statistischen Bundesamtes vom 24.04.2012 https://www.destatis.de/DE/PresseService/Presse/Pressemitteilungen/2012/04/PD12_144_624.html;jsessionid=75F02F481F82C8EAD7777DFD50B02566.cae1

Plattmachen und Aufkaufen. Wie deutsche Sparpolitik und deutsche Investitionsoffensiven in Südeuropa ineinander greifen

Privatisierungen sind ein Kernpunkt der Sparprogramme, die den Euro-Krisenländern verordnet werden. Artikel von und bei Tomasz Konicz, zuerst erschienen in Neues Deutschland vom 24.04.2012 http://www.konicz.info/?p=2166


Verelendung made in Germany

''Das deutsche Spardiktat führt in den verschuldeten Ländern der südlichen Eurozone zu neuen ökonomischen und sozialen Verwerfungen. Spanien, das noch Ende März Kürzungen in Höhe von 27 Milliarden Euro vornahm, muss sein Sparprogramm auf 37 Milliarden Euro ausweiten. Immer mehr Kreditnehmer können ihre Schulden nicht pünktlich begleichen; bei einem Zahlungsrückstandsvolumen von 143,8 Milliarden Euro können die Banken des Landes sich faktisch nur noch über die Europäische Zentralbank refinanzieren. Auch Italien rutscht in die Abwärtsspirale aus Kürzungen, steigender Arbeitslosigkeit, sinkender Kaufkraft und wachsenden Sozialausgaben und muss, wie schon vor Jahren Griechenland, seine Sparziele bereits korrigieren. Griechenland ist von der Entwicklung voll erfasst; letztes Jahr gingen 68.000 Betriebe bankrott, das Auftragsvolumen war dramatisch eingebrochen. Auch für dieses Jahr wird mit einer hohen Zahl von Firmenpleiten gerechnet. Dafür bieten sich deutschen Unternehmen gute Chancen, beim Ausverkauf der verbliebenen Staatsbetriebe die Filetstücke zu erwerben - zu billigsten Preisen?'' Eigener Bericht vom 23.04.2012 von und bei german-foreign-policy http://www.german-foreign-policy.com/de/fulltext/58311?PHPSESSID=muhued1qptalv49q4p76g647j6


Schuldenabbau geht nur anders: Mit Wachstum, ohne Fiskalpakt

''Der Sparkurs der EU hat sein Ziel verfehlt. In den Krisenländern schrumpft die Wirtschaft, Staatsverschuldung und Arbeitslosigkeit steigen. Dennoch will Angela Merkel den europäischen Fiskalpakt mit seinen rigiden Sparzielen durchdrücken?'' DGB-klartext 15/2012 vom 26.04.2012 http://www.dgb.de/themen/++co++cd5b8d4a-8f9b-11e1-7d7b-00188b4dc422


EU-Beschäftigungspaket ist Feigenblatt für EU-Fiskalpakt

''Erst vor wenigen Tagen hat die EU-Kommission Vorschläge für einen Beschäftigungspaket zur Bekämpfung der steigenden Arbeitslosigkeit vorgelegt: 17 Millionen Arbeitsplätze sollen durch die Förderung von Klein- und Mittelbetrieben sowie umfassender arbeitsmarktpolitischer Maßnahmen bis zum Jahr 2020 geschaffen werden. Ein überzeugendes Konzept zur wirksamen Bekämpfung der Arbeitslosigkeit ist in dem vorgelegten Sammelsurium bekannter Maßnahmen mit geringer Wirksamkeit sowie unausgegorener neuer Vorschläge nicht erkennbar. Nebulös bleibt auch die höchst kontroverse Forderung nach geringerer Besteuerung des Faktors Arbeit. Nach erlebter Praxis in der Bundesrepublik heißt dies im Klartext weitere Privatisierung von Sozialleistungen zu Lasten der Arbeitnehmer?'' Gastbeitrag von Ursula Engelen-Kefer vom 22.

Euro-Krise und Griechenland

Die griechische Tragödie. Warum Europa die Schulden vergessen muss

''Was Anfang des Jahres noch als Schreckensszenario galt, wird langsam wahrscheinlich: der Ausschluss Griechenlands aus der EU und der Eurozone. Die Folge wäre eine politische und ökonomische Katastrophe. Welche Optionen stellen sich Europa?...'' Artikel von Jens Berger in der WOZ vom 24.05.2012 http://www.woz.ch/1221/die-griechische-tragoedie/warum-europa-die-schulden-vergessen-muss

Aus dem Text: ''? Nach rationalen Abwägungen gibt es nur eine Option, mit der Europa nicht nur Griechenland, sondern auch sich selbst aus der Krise befreien kann: Ein Schuldenmoratorium für Griechenland, kombiniert mit einem durchdachten Wachstums- und Investitionsprogramm für die Europeripherie und einer Anpassung der Lohnstückkosten im Zentrum der Eurozone zur Stärkung der Binnennachfrage?''


Grexit und Geuro, die Planspiele der Finanzlobby

''Vor wenigen Wochen war ein Austritt Griechenlands aus der Eurozone lediglich für Stammtischökonomen ein Thema. Die erdrutschartigen Verluste der ''Systemparteien'' bei den griechischen Parlamentswahlen haben nun das Undenkbare denkbar gemacht. Deutsche Regierungsvertreter spielen in der Öffentlichkeit ganz ungeniert mit dem Gedanken an einen Austritt Griechenlands aus der Gemeinschaftswährung und bekommen dabei von Vertretern der Finanzwirtschaft bestmögliche Schützenhilfe. Gestern präsentierte die Deutsche Bank ihren ''Plan B'' für Griechenland. Selbstverständlich geht es der Finanzwirtschaft dabei nicht um Griechenland oder gar Europa, sondern darum, die eigenen Verluste einmal mehr dem Steuerzahler aufzubürden?''

Former Israeli premier against Iran strike

Pasadena Star-News

04/29/12

A former Israeli prime minister added his voice Sunday to a growing chorus of Israeli officials against a military strike on Iran s nuclear facilities. Ehud Olmert spoke to Israel s Channel 10 TV from New York. 'There is no reason at this time not to talk about a military effort,' he said, 'but definitely not to initiate an Israeli military strike'...

Who Stole the American Dream?

Video

Donald Goldmacher, Heist - The Movie: "'Heist: Who Stole the American Dream?' is a feature documentary that investigates the roots of the current economic crisis and the continuing assault on working people in the United States. 'Heist' reveals who created the slide that has left the middle class reeling, exposing how corporate leaders worked with elected politicians of both major parties to create the largest transfer of wealth in history. Heist posits that a fair economy requires that those responsible for the crisis be held accountable; rigorous reforms must be enacted into law.''

A History of the World, BRIC by BRIC

Pepe Escobar, TomDispatch: ''However, BRICS cohesion, to the extent it exists, centers mostly around shared frustration with the Masters of the Universe-style financial speculation that nearly sent the global economy off a cliff in 2008. True, the BRICS crew also has a notable convergence of policy and opinion when it comes to embattled Iran, an Arab Sprung Middle East, and Northern Africa. Still, for the moment the key problem they face is this: they don t have an ideological or institutional alternative to neo-liberalism and the lordship of global finance.''

House Passes CISPA in Surprise Vote; Opponents Will Continue to Fight in Senate

Mike FCC Requires TV Stations to Put Political Ad Files Online, Truthout

''The House passed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) in a surprise vote late Thursday despite a veto threat from the White House and opposition from civil liberties groups that say the bill undermines existing privacy law and would allow private companies to spy on American citizens. 'Cybersecurity does not have to mean abdication of Americans' online privacy,' said ACLU legislative counsel Michelle Richardson. 'As we've seen repeatedly, once the government gets expansive national security authorities, there s no going back.''

How The ''Cyber Intelligence Sharing And Protection Act'' Would Affect You

CISPA would ''waive every single privacy law ever enacted in the name of cybersecurity,'' Rep. Jared Polis, a Colorado Democrat and onetime Web entrepreneur, said during the debate. ''Allowing the military and NSA to spy on Americans on American soil goes against every principle this country was founded on.''

Could We Stop ''Signature'' Drone Strikes in Yemen and Pakistan?

Robert Naiman, Truthout: The US government has been increasingly carrying out drone strikes in countries with which America is not at war, and killing people with drone strikes who have no dispute with the United States?. The CIA had asked for authority to expand its drone strike campaign in Yemen by launching strikes even when it does not know the identities of those who could be killed. Such 'signature strikes' allow the CIA to hit targets based solely on intelligence indicating patterns of 'suspicious behavior.'''

Did Romney buy the GOP nomination?

The Nation
by Ben Adler

After winning the primaries in New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Delaware and Connecticut on Tuesday night, Mitt Romney delivered a peroration in Manchester, New Hampshire, awkwardly titled 'A Better America Begins Tonight.' In it, Romney claimed the mantle of GOP nominee and declared the general election season underway. He focused on the themes he has clearly been planning on emphasizing in the contest against President Obama: a return to American greatness economically and in global power...

It s safe to say that foreign policy was not the strong suit of this year s contenders for the GOP presidential nomination. ... [T]heir statements on foreign policy reflected a more disturbing trend in the GOP. Despite facing a war-weary public, the candidates (with the exception of Ron Paul, an antiwar libertarian, and Jon Huntsman, a moderate internationalist) positioned themselves as unapologetic war hawks. That included Mitt Romney, marginally more polished than his rivals but hardly an expert...

America s Top Prison Corporation: A Study in Predatory Capitalism and Cronyism

Dina Rasor, Truthout: ''This week, I will tackle the largest private prison company, the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) and its unprecedented proposal to buy prisons from money-strapped states, as well as how CCA has gamed the system with trips through the revolving door, self-dealing and influence peddling. Just to set the stage as to how large the prison population is in the United States: our prison population is the highest in the world; one out of 100 US residents are in prison.''

TSA abuses another disabled child ''terrorist'' suspect

Authority!
by Timothy J Taylor

04/29/12

The latest incident last Monday involves the unreasonably aggressive screening of Dina Frank, a 7-year-old girl with cerebral palsy, at the hands of TSA thugs at JFK International Airport which caused her family to miss their flight to Florida. This little child is unable to pass through airport metal detectors without setting off alarms because she walks with metal leg braces and crutches.

Shedding Light on the Secret Pre-Trial of Bradley Manning

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: ''The government has so far refused to provide key pieces of evidence against him to his defense team, a process known as discovery. Several pre-trial meetings between prosecutors and Manning s defense were also held behind closed doors and out of public light. Court orders and motions are currently held secret despite complaints lodged by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) on behalf of Assange. CCR attorney Shane Kadidal told Truthout that he was surprised by the lack of media presence at the hearings.''
