Streit um Exportnation ''D'' als Lohndrücker

Auswege aus der Schuldenkrise: Lohnkürzungen, Rettung oder Risiko?

''Damit Krisenstaaten wie Spanien wieder wettbewerbsfähig werden, müssen die Löhne sinken. Das jedenfalls fordern zahlreiche Ökonomen. Ein Dilemma: Denn niedrigere Einkommen würden die Wirtschaft der betroffenen Staaten zunächst erst recht schwächen. Gibt es einen Ausweg?...''

Hartz IV-Sanktionen sind verfassungswidrig

Die Bundesagentur für Arbeit wird in diesem Jahr erstmalig den traurigen Rekord von rund einer Million Sanktionen gegen Hartz IV-Beziehende erreichen. Dazu erklärt die Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Katja Kipping:

Hartz IV-Sanktionen sind eine Schande für Deutschland. Die Sanktionen im Hartz IV-System sind verfassungswidrig. Sie müssen umgehend abgeschafft werden. Jede Leistungskürzung verletzt das Grundrecht der Betroffenen auf Existenzsicherung und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe. Im vergangenen Jahr waren rund 42 Prozent der Widersprüche gegen Sanktionen und rund 52 Prozent der Klagen vor Sozialgerichten für die Betroffenen ganz oder zumindest teilweise erfolgreich. Es wird demnach auch massenhaft rechtswidrig sanktioniert. Unter dem Druck von Sanktionsandrohungen müssen die Betroffenen schlecht bezahlte Jobs annehmen und den Beschäftigten durch Lohndumping in den Rücken fallen. Hartz IV ist und bleibt sozialer Sprengstoff, der sich auch durch Druck und Arbeitsverdichtung direkt auf Erwerbstätige auswirkt. DIE LINKE tritt dafür ein, Hartz IV durch eine sanktionsfreie Mindestsicherung zu ersetzen, die wirklich die Existenz und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe sichert.

''Während sich die EU nach der Verleihung des Friedensnobelpreises selbst feiert, erhöhen EU-Gremien den Druck auf Minderheiten in der europäischen Peripherie. Nicht überall wurde der Nobelpreis an die EU gefeiert. Neben Antikriegsorganisationen, die darauf hinweisen, dass die EU-Politik zur Aufrüstung verpflichtet, sind es auch Flüchtlings- und Antirassismusgruppen, die die Preisverleihung als Zynismus bezeichnen. So spricht der Verein Aachener Friedenspreis gar von Zynismus. Lea Heuser, die Pressesprecherin des Vereins, kommentiert: ''Die Militarisierung der EU und ihre Abschottung gegenüber Flüchtlingen mit kriegerischen Mitteln ist alles andere als friedlich. Das muss endlich im Bewusstsein der Menschen ankommen.''?'' Artikel von Peter Nowak in telepolis vom 16.10.2012 http://www.heise.de/tp/blogs/8/152992

Festung Europa fordert nächste Opfer. Seit 1988 starben über 18 500 Menschen, die in Staaten der EU flüchten wollten

''Es gibt wenig, was den Schrecken der Festung Europa eindringlicher vor Augen führt als diese Zahl: Mindestens 18 567 Menschen sind seit 1988 beim Versuch zu Tode gekommen, die EU-Außengrenzen zu überwinden. Die Zahl stammt aus einer Liste tödlicher Asylpolitik, die vom italienischen Blogger Gabriele del Grande geführt wird. Am Wochenende musste er neue Opfer eintragen: Beim Versuch, die Küste Spaniens zu erreichen, ertranken seit Donnerstag mindestens 16 Menschen?''

Das Sterben an Europas Grenzen beenden! Erheben Sie Ihre Stimme!

''Zur Aktion: Mit dieser E-Mail-Aktion wird der italienische Ministerpräsident Mario Monti aufgefordert, sich für eine Aufklärung der Geschehnisse im August 2009 im Mittelmeer einzusetzen. Damals starben 77 Flüchtlinge einen qualvollen Tod. Sie trieben über 20 Tage mit einem Schlauchboot auf Hoher See zwischen Libyen, Malta und Italien. Am Ende verhungerten und verdursteten sie. Die Angehörigen der Opfer müssen endlich eine Antwort auf ihre Frage nach den Verantwortlichen für die Tragödie erhalten. Bereits am 25. August 2009 verlangte auch der Menschenrechtskommisssar des Europarates Aufklärung. Bis heute fehlt jede Antwort. Gleichzeitig wird der italienische Ministerpräsident gebeten, sich zusammen mit den europäischen Partnerländern für eine zukünftige effektive Seenotrettung zu engagieren.''

Europa braucht eine humane Asylpolitik

Wieder kenterten am Wochenende vor der Insel Lampedusa Boote mit Flüchtlingen. Wieder berichten Medien über unendliches Leid und Tote, doch an der inhumanen Asylpolitik der Bundesrepublik und der Europäischen Union ändert sich nichts. Dazu erklärt die Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Katja Kipping:

Nach der Katastrophe von Lampedusa fordern Experten eine Reform der europäischen Flüchtlingspolitik. Außer Reden und Appellen hat sich nichts geändert. Die aktuelle Statistik der UNO belegt, dass weltweit alle 4 Sekunden ein Mensch aus seinem Heimatort flüchtet. Armut, Naturkatastrophen, explodierende Lebensmittelpreise aber vor allem Kriege sind die Ursachen dafür. Dort, wo gegenwärtig Kriege toben, ist die Situation der Menschen katastrophal. Aber auch dort, wo Rassismus Menschen in die Flucht treibt, ist die Lage verheerend. Die weltweite Wirtschaftskrise vernichtet in vielen Ländern in und außerhalb Europas für viele Menschen jede Perspektive, ihr eigenes Leben zu gestalten. Auch von ihnen werden viele woanders versuchen, ihr Auskommen zu finden. Es ist zynisch, wenn Bundesinnenminister Friedrich gegen Armutsflüchtlinge hetzt und um Flüchtlingsquoten feilscht. Wer Flüchtlingen unterstellt, sie kämen in betrügerischer Absicht nach Deutschland, will ausgrenzen und abschotten. Das ist finsterstes Stammtischniveau und rassistisch. Von der EU fordern wir endlich Mindeststandards für Asylsuchende auf hohem menschenrechtlichem Niveau durchzusetzen. Wir brauchen eine Änderung des Fluchtregimes in der EU. Die Außengrenzen sind für tausende Menschen tödlich geworden. Deshalb fordern wir: offene Grenzen für Menschen in Not, menschenwürdige Unterbringung von Flüchtlingen und die schnelle Öffnung von Perspektiven für diejenigen, die hier um Schutz und Aufnahme ersuchen. Schluss mit den rassistisch aufgeladenen Diskussionen um vermeintliche Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge. Die Not der Menschen hat politische Ursachen. Die Bundesrepublik hat in vielen Fällen ihren Anteil daran. Es ist deshalb auch unsere Verantwortung, dazu beizutragen, Not zu lindern und Flüchtlinge aufzunehmen.

Mr. George is one of a growing number of would-be geoengineers who advocate high-risk, large-scale technical interventions that would fundamentally change the oceans and skies in order to reduce the effects of global warming.

ÖDP-Vortrag

''Monsanto auf Deutsch'': Seilschaften deutscher Gentechnik. Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen

Referentin: Rosi Reindl

Dienstag, 13. Nov. 2012, 19.30 Uhr - Einlass 19:00 Uhr
- Der Eintritt ist frei
Im Hansa-Haus, Brienner Str. 39, Rgb., (Rahnstüberl)
MVV-Haltestellen: Königsplatz (U2) oder Stiglmaierplatz (U1/Tram 20+21)

Vorher ab 17 Uhr wird Rosemarie Buchner wie immer ihren ÖDP-Kennenlern- Treff abhalten.

Ankündigungstext des Vortrages:

Haben sie sich auch schon gefragt, warum hierzulande Jahr für Jahr immer neue Gen-Felder angelegt werden, obwohl 80 Prozent der Menschen keine Gentechnik im Essen wollen? Warum Steuergelder fast nur noch in die Gentechnik fließen, wenn es um landwirtschaftliche Forschung geht?

Mit Hilfe von Ausschnitten aus dem Vortrag ''Seilschaften deutscher Gentechnik'' von Jörg Bergstedt wagen wir einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Gentechnik und auf die Zustände bei Genehmigungen und Geldvergabe. Dieser Vortrag bietet eine erschütternde Erklärung, warum die überwältigende Ablehnung und der gesetzlich eigentlich vorhandene Schutz gentechnikfreier Landwirtschaft (einschließlich Imkerei) gegenüber der grünen Gentechnik so wenig Wirkung hat.

Denn: In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten sind alle relevanten Posten in Genehmigungsbehörden, Bundesfachanstalten und geldvergebenden Ministerien mit Gentechnikbefürwortern besetzt worden. Die meisten von ihnen sind direkt in die Gentechnikkonzerne eingebunden. Geflechte von Kleinstunternehmen und seltsamen Biotechnologieparks names Biotechfarm oder Agrobiotechnikum sind entstanden, zwischen denen Aufträge und Gelder hin- und hergeschoben werden, bis sich ihre Spur auf den Konten der Beteiligten verliert.

Die Referentin Rosi Reindl (46 Jahre) ist ehrenamtlich aktiv, u.a. beim Arbeitskreis Gentechnik des Bund Naturschutz Ebersberg, der Gruppe ''Zivilcourage für eine gentechnikfreie Landwirtschaft'' und der Initiative ''Gentechnikfreies Mangfalltal''. Sie beschäftigt sich seit seit 8 Jahren intensiv mit den Auswirkungen der Agrogentechnik in der Landwirtschaft und zeigt Wege auf, wie wir weiterhin gesunde Lebensmittel konsumieren können.

Die Zukunft pflanzen

Am 16.10.2012 sendete ARTE den Themenabend:

''Die Zukunft pflanzen''

Wiederholungen:
20.10.2012 um 14:40

Regie: Marie Monique Robin

''Trotz allen wissenschaftlichen Fortschritts ist es bis heute nicht gelungen, den Hunger auf der Welt zu besiegen. Noch immer leidet ein Sechstel der Erdbevölkerung unter Mangelernährung. Dabei wäre Nahrung für alle da, meint die Filmemacherin Marie-Monique Robin. Ihr Dokumentarfilm zeigt, dass eine ökologische Landwirtschaft, die umweltgerecht und ressourcenschonend arbeitet, ausreichend Nahrung für alle Menschen bereitstellen könnte.

Ein Sechstel der Weltbevölkerung leidet gegenwärtig Hunger. Aber das ist kein unabwendbares Schicksal. Anhand von Beispielen aus Mexiko, Japan, Malawi, Kenia, Senegal, den USA und mehreren europäischen Ländern veranschaulicht Filmemacherin Marie-Monique Robin, dass radikales Umdenken gefordert ist und dass die Lebensmittelkette anders verwaltet und organisiert werden muss und kann, um dem Hunger in der Welt Abhilfe zu schaffen. Mittlerweile beweisen weltweit aktive Initiativen, dass ökologische Landwirtschaft, die umweltgerecht und ressourcenschonend verfährt, nicht nur möglich, sondern auch ertragreicher ist als die industrielle Produktion von Nahrungsmitteln. Voraussetzung dafür ist allerdings auch, dass den Bauern, und nicht nur den Großproduzenten unter ihnen, wieder eine Schlüsselrolle in der für die Zukunft der Menschheit unabdingbaren Entwicklung zugebilligt wird.

Nach ''Monsanto, mit Gift und Genen'' und ''Unser täglich Gift'' wartet Filmemacherin Marie-Monique Robin mit dem letzten Teil ihrer Trilogie auf. ''Zukunft pflanzen'' ist eine entschieden optimistische Untersuchung darüber, wie der weltweiten Lebensmittelkrise Abhilfe geschaffen werden kann.?

Am 15. Oktober geben die deutschen Übertragungsnetzbetreiber die Höhe der EEG-Umlage für 2013 bekannt. Voraussichtlich steigt die Abgabe für die Erneuerbaren Energien, die Verbraucher mit dem Strompreis zahlen, Anfang kommenden Jahres von 3,59 ct/kWh auf mehr als 5 ct/kWh. Vor diesem Hintergrund findet in Medien und Öffentlichkeit aktuell eine Diskussion um die Kosten der Energiewende statt, bei der häufig insbesondere der hohe Zubau der Photovoltaik als primärer Kostentreiber dargestellt wird.

Die Revolutionäre und die Konterrevolutionäre der Energiewende

Als Angela Merkel nach Fukushima die Energiewende ausrief galt das zu Recht als revolutionäre Tat. Die hundertprozentige Umstellung der fossil-atomaren Energiewirtschaft auf ein neues Energiezeitalter ist revolutionär und mutig. Doch wo sich eine Revolution abzeichnet, regt sich auch die Konterrevolution. Kommentar von Franz Alt

Cyber Attack Could Take Down Your Liberties and the Constitution

You better wonder what the future holds for erstwhile American civil liberties, privacy, and constitutional protections.

Is the DOD crazy enough to bring nukes to a cyberfight?

The problem is that some in the Pentagon are threatening ''deterrence'' via kinetic reprisals, including nuclear counterattacks in the most extreme cases, that could actually encourage the very cyberattacks the government hopes to prevent.

Mitt Romney s lies and a startling truth

In These Times
by David Sirota

10/12/12

When it comes to tax policy, Mitt Romney is not merely a spinner, an equivocator or a run-of-the-mill dissembler. He s a liar. Hyperbolic and overwrought as that label seems, it is, alas, the only accurate description for someone who would, in February, promote a proposal to cut taxes 'on everyone across the country by 20 percent, including the top 1 percent' and then appear at an October debate and insist that the very same proposal 'will not reduce the taxes paid by high-income Americans.' For the most part, analyzing such hideous dishonesty is where political reporting has started and stopped. How big a liar is Romney?

The court documents make clear that JPMorgan employees were well aware of these flaws and even exchanged emails about them. For example, after a review finding that at least 1,154 mortgages were delinquent, JPMorgan told investors that only 25 loans were delinquent.

Romney s pivot to the center hasn t worked (but it didn t need to)

The Monkey Cage
by John Sides

10/11/12

Three things are happening here. First, in the minds of voters, Obama and Romney have moved away from the average voter, but Romney has moved further. ... Second, perceptions of Romney s ideology did not change before and after the debate, even though the timing of the post-debate poll allowed respondents to hear two days of news coverage discussing Romney s pivot. ... Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Romney may not have needed this pivot to the center anyway...

Robert Parry, Consortium News: Mitt Romney gave a rousing speech about how his foreign policy would be much more muscular than President Obama s. But Romney displayed again his proclivity to lie on specifics and distort the broader reality, too.

Will Paul Ryan raise a bloody al Qaeda flag?

The Nation Blog
by Robert Dreyfuss

10/11/12

It s ironic, and perhaps a sign of desperation on the part of the Republican party, that eleven years after 9/11 it is still trying to scare Americans with the specter of Al Qaeda. Let s see, tonight, in the vice presidential debate, whether foreign policy know-nothing Paul Ryan tries it. By and large, in 2012, US voters have no appetite at all for foreign military entanglements and wars. President Obama, who yesterday named yet another new commander for the failed war in Afghanistan, did so after saying (in a Monday campaign speech that was blasted by the reliably pro-war Wall Street Journal in an editorial) that 'al Qaeda is on its heels and Osama bin Laden is no more'...

Biden and Ryan: The foreign policy gap

The Nation
by Robert Dreyfuss

10/12/12

Last night, Vice President Joe Biden managed, on Afghanistan at least, to sound like a peacenik. Not so, Ryan. ... Of course, neither Biden nor Ryan dealt with the complexity of the war, with the likelihood that the insurgency will continue past 2014, with Pakistan s infernal meddling, or with the vast, unfathomable corruption of the government of President Karzai. But give Biden credit for stating unequivocally that in 2014, we are gone. Ryan, on the other hand, was all over the place...

The elements of empire

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by David D'Amato

10/15/12

The commitments of the U.N. are widely considered to be products of careful and measured deliberation, to account for the complexities and interrelationships of regional and global security. The process, it is thought, gives legitimacy to sweeping actions like, for instance, military intervention and regime change. But the process is a mere simulation from the start, enthralled to the overriding interests of the American Empire and its satellites, lacking in all legitimacy...
