Resource Wars Connect Yanomami Massacre and Shell s Arctic Drilling

Subhankar Banerjee, Climate StoryTellers: ''It has been a painful day for me. Two pieces of news came in this morning: one about the massacre of an Yanomami settlement in the Amazon, and the other about Obama green lighting Shell s drilling in the Arctic Ocean. Both are about resource wars that lead to killing, humans and/or animals, fast or slow, one to get gold, and the other to get oil.''

''Renten-Schock-Tabelle'', ein logisches Ergebnis der neoliberalen Schock-Strategie

''Die neue Renten-Schock-Tabelle: z.B.: Wer 2500 Euro brutto verdient, bekommt in Zukunft nach 35 Jahren Arbeit nur noch 688 Euro raus?. In Riesenlettern machte ''Bild am Sonntag'' gestern damit ihre Seite 1 auf.

Auch alle anderen Medien waren offenbar so schockiert, dass sie den siebenseitigen Brief der Arbeitsministerin an die Mitglieder der ''Jungen Gruppe'' in der Unionsfraktion, geradezu paralysiert, nachplapperten. Doch von der Leyen will den durch die Renten-''Reformen'' verursachten Schock gar nicht bekämpfen, sie will ihn nur als politischen Hebel zur Durchsetzung ihrer sog. ''Zuschussrente'' nutzen und vor allem auch, um der Versicherungswirtschaft weitere Riester-Verträge zu verschaffen. Dabei ist die ''Renten-Schock-Tabelle'' nur das logische Ergebnis der neoliberalen Renten- Schock-Strategie. Statt auf den nächstliegenden Gedanken zu kommen, die zurückliegenden Renten-''Reformen'' zu revidieren, verharrt auch die veröffentlichte Meinung in einer rentenpolitischen Schockstarre?''

Wie in der Anstalt: Von der Leyen und die Altersarmut

''Bisher erfuhren wir Neues aus der Anstalt immer dienstags und nur im ZDF. Diesmal sollte es sonntags sein, und das Fernsehen hatte gar nichts damit zu tun. Die Arbeitsministerin Ursula von der Leyen selbst hatte sich offenbar einliefern lassen, um einen siebenseitigen Brief an die Mitglieder der »Jungen Gruppe« in der Unionsfraktion zu verfassen. Darin warnt sie, so heißt es unisono in den Medien, vor einer drohenden Altersarmut und legt »erstmals«, wie im Chor von der Presse kolportiert wird, Zahlen dazu vor. Außerhalb der Anstalt hätte die Ministerin die Fakten zur Kenntnis nehmen können. Seit 2001 jagt eine Rentenreform die nächste. Alle hatten den erklärten Zweck, die Renten abzusenken, weil auskömmliche Renten für alle aus »demographischen Gründen« angeblich nicht mehr zu leisten wären?'' Artikel von Uli Schwemin in junge Welt vom 03.09.2012 http://www.jungewelt.de/2012/09-03/040.php

Aus dem Text: ''? Im gleichen Maße, wie diese Herrschaften den Leuten ihre Renten wegnehmen, erhöhen sie sich ihre eigenen, selbstverständlich ohne dafür auch nur einen Cent in die Kassen einzubezahlen. Aber was noch viel schlimmer ist: Sie lieferten die Rentenversicherung teilweise privaten, gewinnorientierten Versicherungskonzernen aus, die seither damit ihren Reibach machen. Die Linkspartei, die Gewerkschaften, die Sozialverbände sowie die ernst zu nehmenden Politik- und Sozialwissenschaftler haben vom ersten Tag an erklärt, daß diese Entwicklung direkt in die massenhafte Verbreitung von Altersarmut führt und dafür auch belastbare Zahlen vorgelegt. Umsonst, die Hasardeure um Schröder und Merkel, Riester und von der Leyen haben immer noch einen drauf gesetzt. Zuletzt vorige Woche, als die Regierung die Senkung des aktuellen Rentenbeitragssatzes von 19,6 Prozent auf 19,0 Prozent beschloß. Natürlich nicht ohne zu behaupten, es ginge darum, die »Arbeitnehmer« in diesen »schwierigen Zeiten« zu entlasten. Konkret beläuft sich diese Entlastung bei einem Bruttoeinkommen von 3000 Euro auf ganze neun Euro, und noch konkreter bedeutet die Absenkung eine Lohnkürzung um ebenfalls neun Euro. Denn der sogenannte Arbeitgeber zahlt ja diese Summe auch weniger in die Rentenkasse. Nur diese Entlastung ist überhaupt das Ziel der Heuchler. Bezahlen müssen das die Lohnabhängigen mit Rente erst ab 67 oder höheren Abschlägen?'''

Rente und Altersarmut

''Trotz Warnungen der Sozialverbände, Gewerkschaften und linken Parteien hat die schwarz-gelbe Bundesregierung längere Zeit das Thema Altersarmut hartnäckig ignoriert. Jetzt warnt Bundesarbeitsministerin von der Leyen vor einem sich deutlich abzeichnenden Anstieg der Altersarmut in Deutschland und sieht die Legitimität des Rentensystems in Gefahr?''

Zuschussrente, Diagnose richtig, Therapie falsch

''Mit einem Rechentableau, das die Auswirkungen des dramatisch sinkenden Rentenniveaus verdeutlicht, wirbt Arbeitsministerin von der Leyen (CDU) seit dem vergangenen Wochenende nochmals für ihr Konzept einer Zuschussrente. Bei genauerem Hinsehen mutiert ihre Argumentation allerdings zu einem Verriss des eigenen Konzepts - ein klassisches Eigentor. Denn die Rentenniveausenkung geht auch an der Zuschussrente nicht spurlos vorbei?'' Info-Grafik von Johannes Steffen (Arbeitnehmerkammer Bremen) vom 05.

Altersarmut: ''Die Riester-Reform war ein großer Fehler''

''Das Ausmaß der Altersarmut wird höher ausfallen als von Ministerin von der Leyen prognostiziert und die vorgschlagenen Maßnahmen genügen noch lange nicht, meint Rudolf Zwiener, Rentenexperte der gewerkschaftsnahen Böckler-Stiftung.

Die rot-grünen Rentenreformen: Altersarmut per Gesetz

''Mit der zum Jahrtausendwechsel verwirklichten ''Riester-Reform'' war ein doppelter Paradigmenwechsel in der Sozialpolitik verbunden: Zum einen stand nicht mehr das für den Wohlfahrtsstaat nach 1945 jahrzehntelang konstitutive Ziel der Lebensstandardsicherung, sondern die angeblich über die Leistungsfähigkeit des ''Wirtschaftsstandortes'' und damit die Zukunft Deutschlands entscheidende Beitragssatzstabilität im Mittelpunkt der Alterssicherungspolitik. Für prekär Beschäftigte, Geringverdiener/innen, Langzeitarbeitslose bzw. Mehrfacharbeitslose und Arbeitnehmer/innen mit lückenhaftem Erwerbsverlauf, die sich keine private Altersvorsorge leisten (können), war mit dem bis zum Jahr 2030 sukzessive sinkenden Rentenniveau das Risiko der Armut im Ruhestand verbunden. Es wurde von den Betreibern und Befürwortern der Riester-Reform billigend in Kauf genommen, um mittels der wachsenden Angst eines Großteils der Bevölkerung davor Versicherungskonzernen, Großbanken und Fondsgesellschaften ein neues Geschäftsfeld zu erschließen, ihnen die Zahlung von mehr Provisionen an Vermittler zu ermöglichen und ihren Eigentümern höhere Profite zu verschaffen?'' Artikel von Christoph Butterwegge (pdf) http://www.labournet.de/diskussion/wipo/rente/butterwegge.pdf

Es handelt sich dabei um einen Auszug (Kapitel 2.1) aus dem Beitrag von Christoph Butterwegge in dem gerade (8.11.2012) erschienen Buch ''Armut im Alter. Probleme und Perspektiven sozialer Sicherung''.

Altersarmut ist eine tickende Zeitbombe, die Mindestrente muss kommen

Zum Renten-Streit in der Koalition und anlässlich der Äußerungen der Vorsitzenden der CSU-Landesgruppe im Bundestag, Gerda Hasselfeldt, erklärt die stellvertretende Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Caren Lay:

Gerda Hasselfeldts Behauptung, man habe keinen Zeitdruck beim Thema Altersarmut ist zynisch. Altersarmut ist eine tickende Zeitbombe. Falsch ist nicht von der Leyens Analyse, sondern ihr unzureichender Lösungsvorschlag.

Statt einer Zuschussrente für nur wenige, fordert DIE LINKE die Einführung einer Mindestrente von mindestens 1000 Euro für alle. Wenn endlich alle, also auch Beamte, Selbständige und Politiker in eine solidarische Rentenversicherung einzahlen müssten, wäre die Finanzierung auch kein Problem.

Altersarmut ist eine Schande für unser reiches Land.

A Crisis of Trust in Afghanistan

By Gwynne Dyer

''A defeatist position [in Afghanistan] is not possible for us. We cannot leave in our underpants...or without any.'' Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987, two years before the Soviets pulled out. Two years before NATO pulls out, the same frantic search is underway for something that could be called a victory, or at least ''peace with honour''.

Former CIA Head: Iran Attack Will Push Iranians Toward A Bomb

''There is no absolute certainty that all targets are known,'' he added.

Greg Palast, Seven Stories Press: ''In ancient times, before the US Supreme Court s 2010 decision in Citizens United, the maximum amount you could give a candidate for president, legally, was two thousand dollars.... As soon as Citizens [United] came down, billionaires pulled out their debit cards and went on a shopping spree.''

The most dishonest convention speech ? ever?

The New Republic
by Jonathan Cohn

08/30/12

You re going to read and hear a lot about Paul Ryan s speech on Wednesday night. And I imagine most of it will be about how Ryan s speech played, with the party loyalists in Tampa, with the television viewers across the country, and eventually with the swing voters who will decide the election. I d like to talk, instead, about what Ryan actually said, not because I find Ryan s ideas objectionable, although I do, but because I thought he was so brazenly willing to twist the truth...

Ryan s Diet of Whoppers

Eugene Robinson, Washington Post Writers Group: ''Has there ever been a more dishonest presidential campaign than the one Republicans are waging right now? ...

Republicans On the Ground Keeping Ryan s Budget Plan at Arm s Length

Jonathan Weisman, The New York Times News Service: ''Even as Mitt Romney and Representative Paul D. Ryan exhort Republicans to embrace their proposed Medicare changes and spending cuts, the party s rank and file is growing less enthusiastic about the fight than the top of the ticket. Republican lawmakers and candidates are distancing themselves from the Ryan budget plan, which helped make the proposed changes a national issue.''

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: ''The growing power of the religious right is one reason my guest left the Republican Party and became an Independent.

For one thing, he says, both parties 'are captives to corporate loot.'

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: '''The right-wing reavers, slowly empowered over these last decades by the GOP, have finally slipped the leash and are running wild.

Romney s Success at Bain Capital: The Scam as Business Model

Dean Baker, Truthout: ''Private equity companies like Bain Capital are not primarily about producing wealth. They profit largely by siphoning off wealth created elsewhere in the economy.

The US War on Drug Cartels in Mexico Is a Deadly Failure

Paul Jay and Mark Karlin, The Real News Network: ''My takeaway is the war on drugs is really for, one, domestic consumption, and two, a lot of people are dying... Just the other day, Molly Moloy compiled new statistics put out by the Mexican government that more than 80,000 people have died since Calderón, Felipe Calderón, who is the outgoing president, started the U.S.-led, reinvigorated war on drugs in 2006. Another 160,000 or 180,000 have been displaced in Mexico, and 10,000 to 20,000 have disappeared.''

Why Are We Turning Our Backs on the Constitution?

Jenny Carroll, Truthout: ''Of all the losses that I can never hope to measure since the morning of September 11, of all the ways the world has truly changed, perhaps it is the loss of the very constitutional protections that made me want to be a lawyer in the first place that scares me the most.''

The Hologram: Financial Speculation and Casino Capitalism

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: ''Dave Eggers' gem of a book, 'A Hologram for the King,' is a parable about the decadence, fragility and heartlessness of late, decayed corporate capitalism. It is about the small, largely colorless men and women who serve as managers in our suicidal outsourcing of manufacturing jobs and the methodical breaking of labor unions. It is about the lie of globalization, a lie that impoverishes us all to increase corporate profits.''

Cannibalistic Capitalism and Green Resistance

Craig Collins Ph.D., Truthout: ''Profit-hungry capitalism doesn t die; it morphs into its zombie-like, undead phase.... The word catabolism is used in biology to refer to the condition whereby a living thing feeds on itself. Thus, catabolic capitalism is a self-cannibalizing system whose insatiable hunger for profit can only be fed by consuming the society that sustains it.''

Disaster Capitalism in New Orleans and Haiti

Beverly Bell, Other Worlds: ''The catastrophes stripped naked the trappings of difference between the richest and poorest countries in the hemisphere. New Orleans and Haiti are two predominantly Black, low-income areas where the ongoing devastation has been only partly about nature. It has also been about inequitable distribution of power and wealth, and the race- and class-biased policies that have left certain groups highly vulnerable.''

Capitalism s Ideological Crutches

Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: ''Capitalists and the rich remain determined now NOT to bear the costs of the bailouts or the crisis. Unlike in the 1930s, they don t see organized, determined and militant workers' movements to worry about today, nor any USSR positioned as an alternative to modern capitalism. So, they push austerity policies for governments everywhere. To sustain governments' austerity policies, capitalists and the rich lean on their ideological crutches to try to thwart political opposition. The mainstream ideology that works best as capitalism s crutch is blame the government.''

Thoughts for Constitution Day

Independent Institute
by Anthony Gregory

09/17/12

By my reading, almost nothing the federal government does is Constitutional. The entire national security state and empire are dubious at best. ... Virtually everything that both Obama and Romney propose to do as president is unconstitutional and therefore illegal. Yet this seems not to matter to most Americans. And sadly, it has been this way for a long time...

The hateful message of Rick Santorum

San Francisco Chronicle
by Jon Carroll

09/02/12

I just heard Rick Santorum speak at the Republican National Convention. I just heard a smug, self-satisfied prig spew his bile across that tiny percentage of the nation s television screens that were tuned in. I got to remember what the Republican Party really stands for in this cycle. I had forgotten to remember the people Mitt Romney is pandering to. Not that they like him, but he looks like a ticket to power. The Republicans hope he will carry their message of exclusion and privilege to larger, captive audiences around the country...
