Unter dem Deckmantel der Gemeinnützigkeit haben sie ein expansives Perpetuum mobile konstruiert: Sie erfinden sich selbst immer neue Aufgaben, der Staat gibt das Geld?''

Drones pose a multitude of privacy concerns to all Americans, as the Congressional Research Service detailed. The report explains drones can be equipped with, among other capabilities, facial recognition technology, fake cell phone towers to intercept phone calls, texts and GPS locations, and in a few years, will even be able to see through walls.

Even if you don t use Google and aren t currently under suspicion, there s no guarantee that some of your communications aren t sitting in a database awaiting a curious agent s query. Under the 2008 amendments to the Federal Intelligence Security Act (FISA), the National Security Agency now has broad power to vacuum up international communications without the need for individual warrants, power that has predictably resulted in 'over-collection' of even domestic emails on a massive scale...

Die Internationale Energieagentur in Paris (IEA) ist schon wieder im Erdölrausch, nach einer nur kurzen Ausnüchterungszeit.

Die IEA hat ihren ''Energy Outlook 2012'', ihre jährliche Energieprognose, veröffentlicht. Darin wiederholt sie ihren Kardinalfehler: Die fossil-atomaren Energieträger werden grandios überschätzt und die Erneuerbaren fahrlässig unterschätzt.

Grand Bargain betrayal

Our Future
by Robert Borosage

11/15/12

With the election behind us, President Obama and the lame-duck Congress return to Washington to face a fiscal showdown, occasioned by automatic tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled to kick in after the first of the year.

Americans Want Leadership Now on Real Cliffs: Jobs and Human Survival

Paul Street, Truthout: No matter how difficult, we need to tell the truth about our dehumanizing, destructive economy, drop the politicking on the so-called ''fiscal cliff,'' and solve the problems of climate change and unemployment.

Party of Entitled Rich Threatens Economy

Leo Gerard, Campaign for America s Future: Eighty CEOs have ponied up $37 million to make sure the so-called fiscal cliff problem is resolved their way. President Obama is right to take that advice and refuse to pay the ransom Republicans are demanding to appease the entitled rich.

6 Reasons the Fiscal Cliff is a Scam

By James K. Galbraith


The fiscal cliff is a device constructed to force a rollback of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, as the price of avoiding tax increases and disruptive cuts in federal civilian programs and in the military.

Generals' Corrupt Weapons Procurement

Dina Rasor, Truthout: Ill-conceived weapons continue to suck taxpayer dollars, the majority of the discretionary portion of the federal budget, in fact. And the manufacturers responsible get to profit even more when generals eyeing a post-retirement position in defense contracting let them fix their own mistakes.
