''Es gibt das marktkonforme Europa der Angela Merkel, das sich in Brüssel hinter den Institutionen der EU verschanzt hat und im Kielwasser der Krise die Mitgliedsstaaten auf die neoliberale Austeritätspolitik nach deutschem Vorbild umzukrempeln versucht. Die demokratische Legitimation dieses Europas ist jedoch zumindest fragwürdig. Es gibt aber auch noch das demokratische Europa, das trotz der unverhohlenen Erpressungen aus Berlin und Brüssel seine Stimme gegen diese Austeritätspolitik erhebt. Dieses Europa hat sich gestern in der parlamentarischen Versammlung des Straßburger Europarats eindrucksvoll zu Wort gemeldet und der Austeritätspolitik Merkelscher Schule eine klare Absage erteilt. Eine breite Mehrheit der Abgeordneten stimmte über alle Parteigrenzen hinweg mit siebzigprozentiger Mehrheit einem Bericht[*] des deutschen Linken-Politikers Andrej Hunko zu, in dem die europäischen Staaten aufgefordert werden, ihre einseitige Austeritätspolitik zu Lasten der Volkswirtschaft und der sozial Schwachen neu zu justieren, sowie die Staatshaushalte nicht durch Kürzungen, sondern durch eine höhere Besteuerung der Wohlhabenden zu sanieren?''

Europäischer Machtkampf in der Krise

''Die deutsche Politik instrumentalisiert die Krise, um periphere Eurostaaten zur Preisgabe ihrer Souveränität zu nötigen und so die unangefochtene Dominanz in Europa zu erringen. Dieser Machtpoker dürfte aber letztendlich auch für die BRD böse ins Auge gehen. Wenige Tage vor dem Ende Juni anberaumten Brüssler Sondergipfel zur Eurokrise spitzen sich die nationalen Gegensätze zuwischen den wichtigsten europäischen Staaten weiter zu. Insbesondere der von der Bundesregierung aufrecht gehaltene Sparkurs in Europa stößt auf immer heftigeren Widerstand derjenigen Staaten, die aufgrund der umfassenden Sparprogramme immer Tiefer in der Rezession versinken. Es sei nur noch ''eine Woche'' übrig, um die Eurozone zu retten, warnte am vergangenen Freitag etwa der italienische Ministerpräsident Mario Monti unter Verweis auf den kommenden Gipfel.1 Bei dem Treffen aller europäischen Staats- oder Regierungschefs am 28. und 29. Juni sollen, mal wieder, weitere Maßnahmen zur Überwindung der Schuldenkrise in der Eurozone erörtert werden, die derzeit von hochkarätigen EU-Repräsentanten ausgearbeitet werden?''

Die Rettung Griechenlands ist ein Feuerwerk von Fehlern. Besonders schlimm: Dass die wirtschaftliche Basis nicht stabilisiert wird. Doch das hat vor allem ideologische Gründe.

Vor dem Kollaps

''Der drohende Kollaps der Eurozone lässt die nationalen Gegensätze zwischen dem dominanten Deutschland und den Staaten Südeuropas eskalieren. Weil Berlin weiterhin jegliche Krisenmaßnahmen blockiert, die, wie der Aufkauf von Staatsanleihen durch die EZB oder die Ausweitung des ''Rettungsschirms'' ESM, den Krisenstaaten rasch helfen könnten, nehmen insbesondere in Italien die Proteste gegen die deutsche Politik zu. Deutschland kehre zurück, ''nicht mehr mit Kanonen, sondern mit Euro'', heißt es in der italienischen Presse: Rom müsse sich ''dem neuen Kaiser namens Angela Merkel unterwerfen'' und die Berliner Diktate umstandslos erfüllen. Selbst treue Verbündete rücken mittlerweile von der Blockadepolitik der Bundesregierung ab. Man müsse dem ''Rettungsschirm'' ESM endlich eine Banklizenz verleihen, die es ermögliche, ihn zu ''hebeln'', verlangt der österreichische Bundeskanzler Werner Faymann. Deutsche Politiker setzen ohne Abstriche ihren entgegengesetzten Kurs fort. Wie der bayrische Finanzminister Markus Söder (CSU) fordert, soll Deutschland stärkeren Einfluss in der EZB bekommen. Das würde es Berlin erlauben, seine, für die Krisenstaaten fatale, restriktive Geldpolitik noch fester zu zementieren...

Die Renationalisierung Europas

''Die als Denationalisierungsprojekt erhoffte Europäische Union hat sich längst in ihr Gegenteil verkehrt: Renationalisierung. Die Renationalisierung Europas hat mit der Dominanz einzelwirtschaftlichen Konkurrenzdenkens in gesamtwirtschaftlichen Zusammenhängen begonnen und führte auf der EU-Ebene zur Reduktion der europäischen Idee auf die Geschäftspolitik des industriellen Kerns. Heute ist das Vertrauen in den propagierten Selbstlauf des eurogekrönten Binnenmarktes bezüglich seiner Verteilungseffekte schwer getrübt, nur Deutschland scheint noch nicht einmal im eigenen Land mitbekommen zu haben, wer den nicht erklärten Klassenkrieg gewinnt?''

Lynn Parramore, AlterNet: ''In his newly released book, The Price of Inequality, Stiglitz returns to this theme of a divided society, delving into the origins and consequences of economic unfairness.

The Elephant in the Room: The Police and the Occupy Movement

Collin Harris, Truthout: ''As the global wave of rebellion began in 2011 and eventually spread to the beating heart of empire and the new subcultures of resistance it spawned continue to grow and diversify, there is an obvious dilemma that will have to be worked out if we are serious about changing American society in any meaningful way. Of the many obstacles facing what, from our current vantage point, looks to be the only light shining on the dark and blotted American social-scape, a militarized police force stands out for its menacing and ubiquitous presence in American social life?. We turn to author and activist Kristian Williams for his insights on the historical development of the modern police force, its role in enforcing social inequality, and the evolution of police tactics in response to successive waves of popular insurgency and rebellion.''

http://truth-out.org/news/item/10119-the-elephant-in-the-room-the-police-and-the-occupy-movement



The Aftermath of Occupy Will Surpass the Gains of 1960s Activism

Bill Zimmerman, Truthout: ''A new movement is being born. Jobless young troublemakers being thrown away by society understand that the extreme disparities in wealth and power that are the cause of their problems will not disappear on their own. Behind these young people will be millions of dissatisfied workers pursuing the American dream denied. That is why the coming era of citizen activism is likely to dwarf what my generation accomplished in the 1960s. We altered the country, culturally, socially, sexually and spiritually.

The End Is Near

David Swanson, War Is a Crime: ''Apocalypse has been given a bad name?. But our species is living beyond its means. If we continue down this path, the planet, our food supplies, our climate, and life as we know it will collapse. If we bring population growth, consumption, and pollution under control, the damage already set in motion will play out for centuries, but complete catastrophe will likely be averted.''

Most Utah residents will probably be inhaling wildfire smoke until the fall, and not just this summer, but most summers from now on.''

The deep Greenland Sea is warming faster than the World Ocean

Recent warming of the Greenland Sea Deep Water is about ten times higher than warming rates estimated for the global ocean. Scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research recently published these findings in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. For their study, they analysed temperature data from 1950 to 2010 in the abyssal Greenland Sea, which is an ocean area located just to the south of the Arctic Ocean.

Study links heat waves to warming of planet

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

08/07/12

The percentage of the earth s land surface covered by extreme heat in summer has soared in recent decades, from less than 1 percent in the years before 1980 to as much as 13 percent in recent years, according to a new scientific paper. The change is so drastic, the paper says, that scientists can claim with near certainty that events such as the Texas heat wave last year, the Russian heat wave of 2010 and the European heat wave of 2003 would not have happened without the planetary warming caused by human release of greenhouse gases...

CBS News

06/25/12

From Cape Hatteras, N.C., to just north of Boston, sea levels are rising much faster than they are around the globe, putting one of the world s most costly coasts in danger of flooding, government researchers report. U.S. Geological Survey scientists call the 600-mile swath a 'hot spot' for climbing sea levels caused by global warming. Along the region, the Atlantic Ocean is rising at an annual rate three times to four times faster than the global average since 1990, according to the study published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change...

Supreme Court: More elections for sale

The Nation
by John Nichols

06/25/12

The US Supreme Court may still retain some familiarity with the Constitution when it comes to deciding the nuances of cases involving immigration policy and lifetime incarceration. But when it comes to handing off control of American democracy to corporations, the Court continues to reject the intents of the founders and more than a century of case law to assure that CEOs are in charge. Make no mistake, this is not a 'free speech' or 'freedom of association' stance by the Court s Republican majority. That majority is narrowing the range of debate. It is picking winners. To turn a phrase from the old union song, this Court majority has decided which side it is on...

Money, Power and Politics

Ann Robertson and Bill Leumer, Countercurrents: ''There has been much talk recently about the impact of money on politics, especially in the wake of the Citizens United ruling ? And many have assumed that the relation of money to politics is like a law of nature: the more money one has, the more political power one can wield. When it is a question of the efficacy of money in politics and workers fail to put up a fight, money prevails. The moral is: money counts - but only if we let it.''

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Company: ''In all the hullabaloo over the Supreme Court s decision on health care, another of its rulings quickly fell off the public radar. Before deciding the fate of the Affordable Care Act, the Court announced it would not reconsider Citizens United. That s the odious 5-4 decision two years ago that opened our elections to unlimited contributions. Within minutes of that announcement, right-wing partisans were crowing about the advantage they now own.''

Dina Rasor, Truthout: ''In last week s column, I laid out the problem of nonprofit organizations, especially 501(c)4, 'social welfare' organizations being used to channel money toward campaigns while keeping their donors secret. In fact, for all the ink spilled concerning super PAC committees, which must reveal donors, according to iWatch News, these nonprofits have been spending more money on the 2010 campaigns than the super PACs. The trend is now to start a super PAC and a C4 organization at the same time, then have the skittish donors, especially corporations that don't want the public to know that they are backing specific candidates, use that money for campaign ads done by the C4 and give some of the money from the C4 to the super PAC, which still hides the original source of the money.''

Montana s Governor Vows to Continue His Fight Against Citizens United

Richard Schiffman, Truthout: ''I am just a rancher who ended up governor of Montana,' Brian Schweitzer is fond of saying. In a world where even Mitt Romney paints himself as a populist with humble roots, one might reasonably be skeptical of Schweitzer s self-portrait. The governor of the Big Sky State, however, appears to be the real deal, a plainspoken 51-year-old farmer and irrigation engineer, who had never held public office before he ran for the highest post in Montana eight years ago.''

''Im Jahr 2013 wird es seit zwanzig Jahren Lebensmitteltafeln in Deutschland geben. Dies ist kein Grund zum Feiern, denn der ''Erfolg'' der Tafeln ist lediglich die Kehrseite des kontinuierlichen sozialstaatlichen Rückzugs. So ist es kein Zufall, dass die Nachfrage nach den Lebensmitteln der Tafeln insbesondere nach dem Inkrafttreten der Hartz IV-Gesetze rasant gestiegen ist. Etwa 1,5 Millionen Erwerbslose, Rentner, Geringverdiener und deren Kinder sind inzwischen auf die Hilfe der Tafeln angewiesen, um ihr soziokulturelles Existenzminimum zu sichern?'' Artikel vom 20.06.2012 bei gegen-hartz.de http://www.gegen-hartz.de/nachrichtenueberhartziv/20-jahre-tafeln-kein-grund-zum-feiern-900983.php

Aus dem Text: ''? Rund um das Motto ''Wir haben es satt! Armut bekämpfen statt Armut lindern!'' finden sich daher derzeit vielfältige gesellschaftliche Akteure zusammen, um gemeinsam für eine armutsfeste Mindestsicherung einzutreten, die Tafeln und andere mildtätige Angebote in Zukunft überflüssig macht. Aktion des Bündnisses ist ein Offener Brief an die Schirmherrin der deutschen Tafeln, Frau Dr. Schröder, und den stellvertretenden Ministerpräsident des Landes Thüringen, Herr Matschie, der die Praxis der Lebensmittelwetten kritisiert?'' Siehe dazu:

Offener Brief des Bündnisses zum Unterzeichnen (pdf) http://aktionsbuendnis20.de/fileadmin/templates/images/OffenerBrief.pdf

Aus dem Text: ''? Das ?Kritische Aktionsbündnis 20 Jahre Tafeln? wendet sich ausdrücklich gegen diese Wett-Kampagne auf Lebensmittel. Der Boom der Tafeln ist das Ergebnis des kontinuierlichen Abbaus des Sozialstaates. Anstatt Armut nachhaltig durch politisches Handeln zu bekämpfen, wird die private Wohltätigkeit als kostengünstiger Ersatz instrumentalisiert und gefeiert. Durch derartige Kampagnen wird die gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz für vorsozialstaatliche Formen der Armenfürsorge mobilisiert. Dabei gerät in Vergessenheit, wie Almosensysteme in historischen Kämpfen um eine soziale Existenzsicherung überwunden wurden. (?) Tafeln sind ein Symptom dafür, dass die sozialstaatlichen Leistungen den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern kein soziokulturelles Existenzminimum mehr sichern. ?''

Ende April 2013 ist eine Aktionswoche zum Thema geplant

Armut, eine Verletzung der Menschenrechte ? Vom Scheitern sozialer Systeme

''In Suhl findet bis 23.6. das Bundestafeltreffen statt. Die ehrenamtliche Initiative, mittlerweile gibt es bundesweit mehr als 800 Tafeln für Hilfsbedürftige, sei verfassungsrechtlich bedenklich, weil damit auf eine staatlich hervorgerufene Unterversorgung reagiert werde, so der Sozialethiker Prof. Franz Segbers von der Uni Marburg. Armut werde zum individuellen Problem gemacht, Lösungen privatisiert. Die Tafeln geraten in die Wohltätigkeitsfalle. Das ''Recht auf soziale Sicherheit'' ist ein Menschenrecht, doch wie steht es um die soziale Sicherheit? Professor Franz Segbers, Sozialethiker an der Universität Marburg im Resonanzengespräch.''

There is no US national security interest in a Syrian intervention

by Bruce McQuain

06/25/12

There was no US interest in intervening in Libya but we did (we used R2P as the excuse and NATO as the tool). Syria, of course, would present orders of magnitudes more difficulty militarily. It is a much more sophisticated military power than was Libya. The problem? Well while Obama may be reluctant to intervene alone, NATO might provide a perfect excuse/vehicle. And the benefits would be fairly obvious electorally...

That dreadful decision established that the D.C. Circuit Court could continue in its mission to extinguish the habeas corpus rights that had been granted to the prisoners in June 2008...
