Finding Bin Laden: The Truth Behind the Official Story

Gareth Porter, Truthout: ''It is now clear that CIA officials were blatantly misrepresenting both bin Laden s role in al-Qaeda when he was killed and how the agency came to focus on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. In fact, during his six years in Abbottabad, bin Laden was not the functioning head of al-Qaeda at all, but an isolated figurehead who had become irrelevant to the actual operations of the organization. The real story, told here for the first time, is that bin Laden was in the compound in Abbottabad because he had been forced into exile by the al-Qaeda leadership.''

Bin Laden, al Qaeda, and how government always wins the war on terror

Reason
by Lucy Steigerwald

05/04/12

It s been nearly 11 years since September 11 and the man responsible for the death of 3,000 Americans is gone at last, but we are still not safe enough. This vaguely-defined effort continues to be a perfect example of government power which exists only to sustain itself. There s always a threat which demands government action, be it drugs or financial collapse or the potential for 10 percent unemployment. The cost of not intervening is always presumed to be worse. How can you disprove it?

Americans Love a Good Killer

By John Grant

President Obama knows how much Americans love a good killer, and he s bragging about being the man who ''took out'' Osama bin Laden with a SEAL Team.

US and Europe ''committing suicide in different ways''

The Raw Story

05/02/12

In an interview with GritTV s Laura Flanders, author and MIT professor Noam Chomsky discussed the potentially bleak future facing both the United States and the European Union. Both, he said, are facing historic crises and are going about trying to resolve them in exactly the wrong ways. According to Chomsky, we are currently living in a period of 'pretty close to global stagnation' but that the world s great powers are reacting to the lack of growth in exactly the wrong manner. 'The United States and Europe are committing suicide in different ways, but both are doing it'...

The Current Business Paradigm Is Toxic to Business and Society

Here s How We Change It

Rinaldo Brutoco and Sam Yau, World Business Academy: ''Reformation that cracked the centralized control of the Catholic Church right down the middle and ended its dominance as the unchallenged organizer and controller of western civilization ... A similar global mind change awaits us. In the Second Renaissance, we value the subjective experience of every human being and return the human to the center of our world, but in harmony with the planet and all its other living inhabitants.''

Help Occupy Help You

Sarah Page, Truthout: ''Occupy is growing as a movement of people working together to recover from the ills of unregulated capitalism and to help each other lead healthier, more equitable and meaningful lives. Whatever your perspective is ... Occupy needs your voice! One of the strengths of Occupy is its openness, anyone can participate, and the more diverse voices that join the movement, the better chance we have of developing workable solutions to these problems and succeeding in our mission to create a better world.''

Violence, USA: The Warfare State and the Brutalizing of Everyday Life

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: ''Since 9/11, the war on terror and the campaign for homeland security have increasingly mimicked the tactics of the enemies they sought to crush. Violence and punishment as both a media spectacle and a bone-crushing reality have become prominent and influential forces shaping American society.... The metaphysics of war and associated forms of violence now creep into every aspect of American society.''

The United States Military a Crusader Force?

Michael L. Weinstein, Truthout: ''Countless armed forces members have reached out to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) to express their dire concern regarding the proliferation of literature, imagery, insignia, and much more which indicates that, indeed, some do see themselves as the Christian extremist counterparts of their Islamic fundamentalist, Salafi-Jihadist foes. This extremely dangerous Islamophobia, inextricably intertwined into the very fabric of the US armed forces, has reached such a dire level of toxicity that it caused America s highest-ranking soldier to actually DO something about it just last week.''

Michael Sommer: 419.000 Menschen demonstrieren für Gute Arbeit

''Am heutigen 1. Mai, dem Tag der Arbeit, haben sich 419.00 Menschen an über 420 Veranstaltungen und Kundgebungen des Deutschen Gewerkschaftsbundes beteiligt. Die diesjährigen DGB-Kundgebungen standen unter dem Motto: Gute Arbeit in Europa, Gerechte Löhne, Soziale Sicherheit?? DGB-Pressemitteilung vom 1.5.2012, dort Links zu den Reden http://www.dgb.de/presse/++co++b9d9accc-9386-11e1-44e1-00188b4dc422

Gewerkschaften in Deutschland

1. Mai 2012: Richtige Gewerkschaftskritik und falsches Lob

Gewerkschaften: Zum 1. Mai nichts als leere Worte zur Krise

Sie bekennen sich zu sicheren Arbeitsplätzen, zu Mindestlöhnen, zu Tarifautonomie und sozialer Sicherung. Aber um das Elend in Südeuropa haben sich die Arbeiterführer bisher nicht geschert. Kommentar von und bei Günther Lachmann, zuerst erschienen in Die Welt online vom 01.05.12 http://guentherlachmann.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/zum-1-mai-nichts-als-leere-worte

Aus dem Text: ''? Was für ein Theater! Wo haben sie sich denn in den vergangenen zwei Jahren um Europa bemüht? Sie haben die Occupy-Bewegung und all die anderen Protestgruppen ebenso allein gelassen wie jene Bürger, die vor das Bundesverfassungsgericht zogen, um die Rechte der Steuerzahler einzuklagen. Sie haben die Europäische Finanzstabilisierungsfazilität (EFSF) ebenso stillschweigend gutgeheißen wie sie nun den Europäischen Stabilitätsmechanismus (ESM) stillschweigend gutheißen, wohl wissend, dass die Regierungschefs damit die demokratischen Rechte der Völker aushebeln. Ein ums andere Mal goutierten sie die Milliardenzahlungen, die fadenscheinig als ''Hilfspakete für notleidende Südländer'' auf den Weg gebracht wurden, tatsächlich aber auf den Konten der großen Banken landeten. Keiner der ''großen Arbeiterführer'' kann sich damit herausreden, er habe es nicht gewusst. (?) Feine Gewerkschafter sind das, die nicht einmal in Zeiten größter Not zu einem Funken Solidarität und Hilfe in der Lage sind. Sie fabulieren über ein Europa der Arbeitnehmer und gerechte Löhne, scherten sich aber nicht im Geringsten um das, was in Griechenland, Portugal und jetzt in Spanien passierte. (?) Diese Schlaumeier. Und nun, da sich die politische Stimmung in Europa dreht, da Frankreich im ersten Gang der Präsidentschaftswahlen mehrheitlich gegen die deutsche Sparpolitik votiert hat, da die niederländische Regierung darüber zerbrach und sogar der Chef der Europäischen Zentralbank, Mario Draghi, aus purer Verzweiflung ein Wachstumspaket fordert, drehen auch die Gewerkschaftsführer ihr Fähnlein nach dem neuen, frischen Wind??


Ergänzende Gedanken zum 1. Mai: Warum droht der Tag der Arbeit in der Bedeutungslosigkeit zu verschwinden?

''Ohne Frage fällt es den Gewerkschaften heute ausgesprochen schwer, zum Tag der Arbeit viele Menschen zu mobilisieren. 1. Mai Kundgebungen vor 40 Jahren und heute, das ist schon wie Tag und Nacht. Es wäre billig festzustellen, an diesem Niedergang seien die Gewerkschaften schuld. Ganz unschuldig sind sie nicht. Ich habe mir den Aufruf des ´ zum 1. Mai 2012 und ein aktuelles einblick-Interview mit Michael Sommer, dem DGB-Vorsitzenden, angeschaut. Dazu und ergänzend ein paar Anmerkungen. Vielleicht findet der/die eine oder andere Redner/in darin noch Anregungen zur kritischen Anreicherung seiner/ihrer Reden zum 1. Mai?? Artikel von Albrecht Müller in den Nachdenkseiten vom 30. April 2012 http://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=13057


Oh je, oh je! Demonstrieren für Europa: Auf der Reeperbahn!

1. Mai-Flugblatt der KollegInnen vom Jour Fixe der Gewerkschaftslinken Hamburg (pdf) http://www.labournet.de/diskussion/gewerkschaft/real/mai2012jf.pdf

Aus dem Text: ?? ''Gute Arbeit für Europa'', lautet die DGB-Parole. Ein Europa mit ''gerechten Löhnen und sozialer Sicherheit''? Träumt ihr Vorständler vom DGB, Verdi oder IGM eigentlich? Die Realität in unserer Arbeitswelt sieht doch ganz anders aus. Enormes Anwachsen der Arbeitslosigkeit in Europa, besonders unter den Jugendlichen, größte soziale Unsicherheit durch die Angst um den Verlust des Arbeitsplatzes, Verarmung und Verelendung großer Schichten, vor allem bei den Rentnern, immer mehr Wanderarbeiter, die von Land zu Land getrieben werden. So sieht das Europa von heute und morgen aus! Es ist das Europa made by EU, made by Troika (EU-Kommission, EZB, IWF). Dieses Europa kann nicht unser Europa sein! Und dafür sollen wir, so möcht?s der DGB, ''gut arbeiten''? Sollen wir lachen oder weinen?...''


''Gerechte Löhne'' statt hohe? ''Gute Arbeit für Europa'' statt für Geld?''Soziale Sicherheit'' für prekäre Existenzen, die wohl immer dazu gehören? Die verkehrten Forderungen des DGB Flugblatt des GegenStandpunkts zum 1. Mai und zur Kritik an den DGB-Forderungen (pdf) http://www.labournet.de/diskussion/gewerkschaft/real/mai2012gs.pdf


Arbeitnehmervertretung: Respekt, Kollegen. Die Gewerkschaften treten wieder selbstbewusst auf, das ist gut für den Wirtschaftsstandort Deutschland.

''Liebe Kollegen von den Gewerkschaften, Euch wurde unrecht getan, auch von der ZEIT. In den vergangenen zehn Jahren wurde über alles Mögliche geschrieben, aber kaum über Gewerkschaften und nicht ein einziges Mal war der Tenor positiv. In der breiten Öffentlichkeit wurden Arbeitnehmervertreter lange Zeit als »Betonköpfe« beschimpft, als »Bremser« und »Gestrige«, die man nicht mehr brauche. Es ist höchste Zeit, dieses Bild zu korrigieren?'' Artikel von Kolja Rudzio in Die Zeit online vom 01.05.2012 http://www.zeit.de/2012/18/01-Gewerkschaften

Aus dem Text: ''? In der vergangenen Krise zeigte sich noch ein Vorteil kollektiver Vereinbarungen: Da musste nicht mit jedem Arbeitnehmer einzeln verhandelt werden, wie sich vielleicht Jobs retten ließen. Stattdessen griffen Arbeitszeitkonten und tarifliche Regeln für den Notfall. Neben der gesetzlichen Kurzarbeit half vor allem das, den Sturz abzufedern, wie Studien belegen. Auch Gewerkschaftern und Betriebsräten hat es Deutschland also zu verdanken, dass es so glimpflich davonkam.Überhaupt steht die deutsche Wirtschaft gerade dort, wo die Gewerkschaften stark sind, unglaublich gut da. (?) Das zeigt: Durchsetzungsfähige Arbeitnehmer und wettbewerbsfähige Firmen sind kein Gegensatz. Im Gegenteil, große Gewerkschaften können sogar leichter auf die wirtschaftliche Lage Rücksicht nehmen. Sie müssen sich nicht mit extremen Forderungen profilieren, wie manche Splittertruppe. Und sie wissen, welches Gewicht ihre Lohnabschlüsse haben. Wenn sie überziehen, steigen die Kosten auf so breiter Fläche, dass Jobs in Gefahr geraten. Machtvolle Gewerkschaften spüren diese Verantwortung. Das haben sie bewiesen??

Internationales Manifest vor weltweitem Protesttag veröffentlicht

''Parlamentarische UN-Versammlung soll G8 und G20 ersetzen, internationale Institutionen wie der IWF sollen demokratisiert werden. Während hunderttausende Menschen in aller Welt sich darauf vorbereiten, im Zuge eines global koordinierten Protesttages für globalen Wandel auf die Strasse zu gehen, hat eine internationale und bewegungsübergeifende Versammlung aus Unterstützern der Occupy-Bewegung, von Take the Square sowie von lateinamerikanischen, afrikanischen, asiatischen und nahöstlichen sozialen Gruppen ein Manifest veröffentlicht, das konkrete Vorschläge macht, wie dieser globale Wandel aussehen sollte?'' Dossier von Friedrich Brandi in telepolis vom 11.05.2012 http://www.heise.de/tp/blogs/8/151982

Aus dem Text: ''? Obwohl das Manifest Anfang des Monats von den Teilnehmern der internationalen Versammlung im Konsens angenommen wurde, wurde besonders hervorgehoben, dass es nicht für alle in den verschiedenen Bewegungen spreche und dies auch nicht beansprucht werde. In einer heute veröffentlichten Pressemitteilung sagte Alvaro Rodriguez von der spanischen Indignados-Bewegung, der an dem Manifest mitschrieb, es spiegele nicht die Position der lokalen und regionalen Versammlungen wider. Vielmehr bestehe der nächste Schritt darin, ''das Statement den Versammlungen in aller Welt vorzustellen, damit sie es als Teil eines gemeinsamen Dialogs aller Bewegungen des globalen Frühlings diskutieren und Änderungen vorschlagen können''?''

Auf verschiedenen Routen zogen tausende Globalisierungsgegner, Kapitalismuskritiker und Umweltaktivisten zum Alexanderplatz in Mitte. Die Beteiligung blieb trotzdem hinter den Erwartungen zurück?''

Waking up to the drones

Look at these photographs. See the eager faces among the children at the school, they could be anyone s kids at any moment in America. And the baby, so precious and new, reflecting the light of his proud parents, the hope of everyone around him. Now imagine that the school is attacked by Predator drones launching Hellfire missiles directly into the classrooms. ... According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, there have been upwards of 350 U.S. military and CIA drone strikes on Yemen and Pakistan since 2004, with the majority in Yemen (20 to 36) occurring in the last two months. As if their children were less valuable than our own, most Americans either ignore or remain passive-aggressively ignorant of the civilian carnage associated with these so-called 'targeted strikes'...

The limbo of death row

CounterPunch
by Ron Jacobs

06/02/12

The death penalty is a fact of life in the United States. Despite the actions of many well-intentioned people, these premeditated murders continue to take place at a shameful pace. The fact that the death penalty does exist has brought many young people to question the morality of a system that supports and even champions execution. Unlike the other form of murder carried out by the state, war, the death penalty is harder to rationalize for many people.

Big Moneys' Effect on Big Media

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: ''Big money and big media have coupled to create a ?Disney World' of democracy in which TV shows, televised debates, even news coverage is being dumbed down, just as the volume is being turned up. The result is a public certainly more entertained, but less informed and personally involved than they should be, says Marty Kaplan, director of USC's Norman Lear Center and an entertainment industry veteran. Bill Moyers talks with Kaplan about how taking news out of the journalism box and placing it in the entertainment box is hurting democracy and allowing special interest groups to manipulate the system.''

So Long, US Dollar

The Media Won t Touch This Story About The End Of The US Dollar

By Marin Katusa

The world doesn t need to revolve around US dollars anymore and the longer the US tries to pretend that the dollar is still and will remain dominant, the more often its international actions will backfire.

Recent Forum on Ionizing Radiation

The abstracts are especially interesting.

The Scientific and Citizen Forum on Radio protection, organized by Independent WHO, which took place in Geneva 12-13 May, discussed the health consequences of the external radiation and internal radioactive contamination created by the explosions in the reactors at Chernobyl and Fukushima. The purpose of the Forum was also to exchange knowledge and experience among experts from both regions and others, including Dr. Christopher Busby, Dr. Youri Bandajevsky, Dr. Eisuke Matsui, and two members of the European Parliament.

Counting the costs of war

CounterPunch
by Eric Pomeroy

06/05/12

Nothing is more firmly burned into my mind than the images from hours upon hours spent counseling soldiers and listening to servicemen and servicewomen tell story after devastating story of their experiences over in the desert and how their lives are forever changed in countless ways in many cases for the worse. Are these devastated lives and in some cases lost lives really worth the ends that they are so carelessly sacrificed for?

White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan on Monday spoke openly, and at great length, about what has long been one of the government s most controversial official secrets: the use of remotely piloted drones to kill suspected terrorists. In doing so, he became the first U.S. government official to acknowledge that the drone strikes sometimes kill innocent people, though he characterized such deaths as 'exceedingly rare'...

Austerity as a Bridge to Nowhere

Eugene Robinson, Washington Post Writers Group: ''Economic austerity is a dangerous, self-defeating intellectual fad. Perhaps I should say that s what it was, given Sunday s election results in Europe. Perhaps I should also say good riddance. Voters in France, Greece and even Germany, a hotbed of the austerity cult, told their political leaders, in no uncertain terms, that boosting economic growth is more important than cutting government spending.''

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.''

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.''

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.

''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?''

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?''
