Jan Lundberg, Culture Change: ''One of the world s biggest environmental crimes has been more or less forgotten. This is part of our collective guilt as the world s ecosystem continues its accelerated collapse. But the new documentary film 'The Big Fix' takes a detailed, daring look at what happened in the Gulf of Mexico with BP s Macondo offshore oil drilling rig. The story and facts that emerge are more than disturbing.''

Bäume als Regenmacher in der Steppe

Soweit das Auge reichte, lag menschenleere Ödnis. Noch vor 25 Jahren herrschte trostlose Steppe im kolumbianischen Las Gaviotas. Heute wachsen wieder Waldgärten auf über 8000 ha, und mit dem Wald kehrte auch der Regen zurück. So ernährt der Wald bereits über 200 Familien, die neben veredelten Produkten aus den Waldgärten inzwischen sogar Trinkwasser in die Hauptstadt verkaufen. In der Nachbarschaft harren noch 6,3 Millionen Hektar Steppe ihrer Rückverwandlung in Regenwald. Von Haiko Pieplow und Ute Scheub

House GOP Leaders Block Amendment Solidifying Afghanistan Withdrawal Timeline

Robert Naiman, Truthout: ''One thing the Afghan war policy hasn t lost: the GOP leadership. That was demonstrated Wednesday night when the GOP leadership blocked consideration in the House of a bipartisan amendment offered by Jim McGovern (D-Massachusetts) and Walter Jones (R-North Carolina) that would have nailed to the wall the current, slippery 'timetable' for the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. There you have it. The reason that the amendment couldn t be allowed to come to a vote was because it could pass.''

Hard Measures: How Aggressive CIA Actions After 9/11 Saved American Lives is largely a defense of [author Jose] Rodriguez s role in the CIA s use of torture on suspected terrorists in the aftermath of 9/11. Rodriguez argues that what he describes as 'enhanced interrogation techniques' were necessary to obtain information on terrorist activities. His employment of the euphemism underscores his argument that these procedures were found to be legal by Bush administration lawyers and that they do not constitute torture, which is a war crime...

Durch die Verelendung der Bevölkerung soll Europa gesunden

''Reihenweise sind in der EU Regierungen abgewählt worden, weil sie ihren Völkern rigide »Sparprogramme« verordnet haben, mit denen die Staaten ihre Kreditwürdigkeit wiedergewinnen wollen. Die betroffenen Länder scheinen Opfer des Finanzkapitals zu sein, das ihr Rating herabstuft, ihnen untragbare Zinsen abknöpft oder ihnen den Geldhahn völlig zudreht, indem es ihnen neue Anleihen und die Refinanzierung der fälligen Schulden verweigert. Als Heilmittel predigen Ökonomen, Gewerkschaften und immer mehr Politiker aller Couleur neue Schulden, also genau das, wovon viele Euro-Staaten mehr haben, als sie bedienen können. Sparen, so die Kritik, läßt die kriselnde Wirtschaft weiter schrumpfen. Staatliche Wachstumsprogramme müßten her, von einem neuen Marshall-Plan ist sogar die Rede, z.B. im Mai-Aufruf des DGB?''

Bankwesen und Banksterben

JP Morgan beweist jetzt, wie notwenig Regulierung ist

Ökonomisch unsinnig und sozial verantwortungslos: Der Fiskalpakt ruiniert Europa

''Die strengen Schuldenregeln des Fiskalpakts bekämpfen nicht die Ursache der Krise, denn sie ist nicht durch laxe Haushaltspolitik entstanden. Erst die Bankenrettung machte aus privaten Schulden im Handumdrehen öffentliche Schulden. Bedingungsloses Sparen trifft die Schwachen, die beste Schuldenbremse bleibt eine höhere Besteuerung großer Einkommen?'' Ein Gastbeitrag von Dierk Hirschel in Süddeutsche Zeitung online vom 15.05.2012 http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/oekonomisch-unsinnig-und-sozial-verantwortungslos-der-fiskalpakt-ruiniert-europa-1.1354338

Stoppt die neoliberale Krisenpolitik, enteignet die Krisengewinner!

''Wir erleben die tiefste Krise des Kapitalismus seit der großen Weltwirtschaftskrise der 1930er Jahre und die europäischen Regierungen gießen ständig weiteres Öl ins Feuer! Einige Regierungen haben eine solidarische Lösung der Krise in Europa von Anfang an verhindert und sind maßgeblich für ihre Verschärfung verantwortlich. Besonders trifft dies auf die deutsche Regierung zu?'' Appell gegen neoliberale Krisenpolitik europäischer Wissenschaftler http://www.stop-neoliberal-crises-politics.org/index.php?id=11309

Protest gegen Fiskalpakt in Europa zeigt Wirkung. Attac fordert Abbruch der Ratifizierung in Deutschland

''Angesichts der ersten Verschiebung der Abstimmung über den Fiskalpakt im Bundestag, fordert das globalisierungskritische Netzwerk Attac einen Abbruch des Ratifizierungsverfahrens des Fiskalpakts in Bundestag und Bundesrat. Attac kritisiert den Fiskalpakt als anti-demokratisch und seine Folgen als unsozial?'' Pressemitteilung von Attac Deutschland vom 10. Mai 2012 http://www.attac.de/aktuell/presse/detailansicht/datum/2012/05/10/protest-gegen-fiskalpakt-in-europa-zeigt-wirkung/?cHash=37c85985560cedebd9c9c07bb8d34bc3

Ron Paul is not ending his Campaign for Liberty

Reason
by Brian Doherty

05/15/12

A year ago, Paul was the presumed least-likely-to-succeed candidate in the GOP field. His radical libertarian bent and his fervent opposition to the GOP s standard foreign policy positions made him seem anathema to the party s primary base. ... Now, Paul is still the last man standing in opposition to Romney and far from fading, his fortunes both within the party and within the culture are rising...

The GOP s dead-end path to prosperity

In These Times
by David Moberg

05/15/12

Mitt Romney may rue the day he called Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan s budget proposal 'marvelous,' as if he were describing a splendid buffet at the mansion of a friend. The plan from the influential, youthful Republican chair of the House budget committee does offer people like Mitt and his rich buddies tasty goodies, $10 trillion in preserved and fresh millionaire-friendly tax cuts (over a decade), to be followed later with rollbacks in financial, environmental and every other regulation...

Romney Has Public and Private Morality Upside Down

Robert Reich, Robert Reich s Blog: ''[Romney has] private and public morality upside down. He doesn t want to regulate where regulation is necessary, at the highest reaches of the economy, where public immorality has cost us dearly, and will cost even more unless boardroom behavior is constrained. Yet he wants to regulate where regulation is least appropriate, at the level of the individual, in bedrooms and other intimate spaces, where private morality should govern.''
