Neue Hartz IV Regelsätze verfassungskonform?

Im Juli letzten Jahres hatte das Bundessozialgericht in Kassel die neuerlicher Festlegung der Hartz IV Regelsätze als ''verfassungsgemäß'' beurteilt und eine entsprechende Klage abgewiesen. Nach Meinung der Richter sei die Höhe des Regelbedarfs für Alleinstehende nach dem SGB II für die Zeit ab 1. Januar 2011 nicht verfassungswidrig zu niedrig bemessen worden (AZ: B 14 AS 153/11 R). Gegen dieses skandalöse Urteil des Bundessozialgerichts wurde weitestgehend unbemerkt von der Öffentlichkeit eine Verfassungsbeschwerde eingereicht... Weiterlesen:

Schrittzähler für Hartz IV Bezieher

Der Chef des Jobcenters Brandenburg an der Havel, Christian Gärtner, ist für seine ''harte Gangart'' bekannt. So sagte dieser noch vor einigen Wochen gegenüber der Presse medienwirksam: ''Notfalls werden wir bei qualifizierungsunwilligen Leuten aber sanktionieren, bis sie raus sind aus dem Leistungsbezug'' (Märkische Allgemeine). Die Zeitung titelte entsprechend: ''Jobcenter fährt harte Linie gegen Verweigerer''. Eben jener hat sich nun etwas neues ausgedacht. 18 Erwerbslose haben einen Schrittzähler angeheftet bekommen, um zu messen, ob diese sich ''zu wenig bewegen''. Weiterlesen:

Hartz IV-Sanktionen: Statistischer Unfug im ZDF

''Er hob hervor, dass die mehr als eine Million Sanktionen nur gegen 3,2 Prozent aller Hartz-IV-Empfänger oder 146.000 Menschen verhängt worden seien.'' Selbst wenn es zutreffen sollte, dass der ''BA-Sprecher'' (ZDF) dies tatsächlich hervor hob, stellt sich die Frage: Müssen Journalisten oder Journalistinnen solch einen offensichtlichen Unfug verbreiten ohne eine solche Meldung kritisch zu hinterfragen?

Wohlfahrtsverbände: Hartz-IV-Totalsanktionen sind verfassungswidrig

Es sind längst nicht mehr ''nur'' die Linkspartei oder Erwerbslosen-Gruppen, die Sanktionen bei Hartz IV als das entlarven, was sie sind: Verfassungswidrig. Zwei Spitzenverbände der Wohlfahrtspflege haben gegenüber dem ARD-Politikmagazin ''Report Mainz'' scharfe Kritik an den sogenannten ''Totalsanktionen'' geübt. Diese wurden im vergangenen Jahr laut offiziellen Angaben gegen mindestens 10.405 Bezieher von Hartz IV-Leistungen ausgesprochen. Totalentzug bedeutet, dass keinerlei Leistungen an den Leistungsberechtigten gezahlt werden. Bereits ab drei Verstößen können Jobcenter eine gänzliche Streichung der Regelleistungen für drei Monate aussprechen. Weiterlesen:

Intimer Fragebogen bei Hartz IV Maßnahme

Hartz IV Betroffene, die durch das Jobcenter Rhein-Sieg in Sankt Augustin zum ''Verein für Europäische Sozialarbeit, Bildung und Erziehung'' (VESBE) vermittelt werden, müssen gleich zu Beginn der Maßnahme einen skandalösen Fragebogen ausfüllen. Neben eher harmlosen Fragen werden die Teilnehmer beispielsweise aber auch gefragt: ''Haben Sie häufig Verstopfung?'', ''Haben Sie manchmal Gedanken, für die Sie sich schämen?''... Weiterlesen:

So manches Jobcenter meint seine eigenen Gesetze schaffen zu müssen. Wie die Erwerbslosen-Initiative Gegenwind e.V. berichtet, werden regelmäßig Hilfesuchende an der Informationstheke des Jobcenters Zwickau-Glauchau abgewimmelt. Wer dennoch versucht, einen Behördenmitarbeiter aufgrund einer dringlichen Angelegenheit zu sprechen, hat böse Konsequenzen zu fürchten.... Lesen Sie weiter:

Neue Sanktionsdienstanweisung der Bundesagentur für Arbeit

''Die Bundesagentur für Arbeit hat eine neue ''Sanktionsarbeitshilfe'' herausgegeben. Nachdem dieses Jahr schon die Schallmauer ''Eine Millionen'' Sanktionen durchbrochen wurde, wollen sie das Fördern und Fordern offensichtlich weiter perfektionieren und insbesondere auf die Zielgruppe der U-25?er ausweiten. Vergessen wird von der BA dabei nur, dass das Fördern im SGB II über das ständige Streichen von Eingliederungsmitteln kaum noch oder auf einem Niveau stattfindet, welches man kaum noch fördern nennen kann.'' Soweit der Kommentar von Harald Thomé, siehe dazu die ''Sanktionsarbeitshilfe'' vom 20.11.2012: http://www.arbeitsagentur.de/nn_165870/zentraler-Content/HEGA-Internet/A04-Vermittlung/Dokument/HEGA-11-2012-VA-Uebertragung-der-Ausbildungsvermittlung.html

Es ist der eisige Wind der Austeritätspolitik, der jetzt Zehntausende Behinderte und Pflegebedürftige in Madrid auf die Straße trieb: Erstmals protestierten sie mit einer großen Demonstration gegen die Sparpolitik der konservativen Regierung'', so beginnt der Artikel ''Die Schwächsten bleiben auf der Strecke'' von Ralf Streck am 06.

Debatte um soziale Grundrechte und für Selbstbestimmung geht in neue Runde

6. Dezember 2012

Erwerbslose, Gewerkschaften und Wohlfahrtsverbände des ''Bündnisses für ein menschenwürdiges Existenzminimum'' fordern neben existenzsichernden gesetzlichen Mindestlöhnen bedeutend höhere Grundsicherungsleistungen und die Abschaffung der Sanktionen. Dazu erklärt die Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Katja Kipping:

Das Recht auf Existenzsicherung und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe ist ein Grundrecht. Wer mit Hartz IV dieses Grundrecht verletzt, gefährdet die Demokratie und hebelt das Grundgesetz aus. Wer den Menschen die Entscheidungsfreiheit über ihre Arbeits- und Lebenszeit verwehrt, behindert selbstbestimmtes Leben. Mit seinen Forderungen unterstützt das ''Bündnis für ein menschenwürdiges Existenzminimum'' die Kämpfe für soziale Grundrechte und Selbstbestimmungsmöglichkeiten der Menschen. Die gesellschaftlichen Debatte darüber ist wieder eröffnet. Die Hartz-Koalition steht unter Druck.

Kaputtgesparte Generation: Deutschland profitiert von qualifizierten billigen Arbeitskräften

Kommentar von Reiner Wandler in der taz online vom 05.12.2012 http://www.taz.de/Kommentar-Jugendarbeitslosigkeit/!106904/

Aus dem Text: ''? Ein Blick in die Krisenländer zeigt: Reformen, die wie in Spanien und in Griechenland trotz heftiger Proteste umgesetzt wurden, liberalisieren den Arbeitsmarkt. Das schafft keine neuen Jobs, sondern erleichtert Entlassungen. In Spanien wurden nun mal wieder spezielle Arbeitsverträge für junge Menschen eingeführt. Diese genießen noch weniger Kündigungsschutz, und die Löhne sind meist so niedrig, dass ein eigenständiges Leben nicht möglich ist. Spanien habe seine Hausaufgaben gemacht, loben Brüssel und Berlin diese Politik??

Rösler pfeift auf bezahlbare Strompreise

6. Dezember 2012

''Statt die Großindustrie weiter zu entlasten soll die Bundesregierung endlich dafür sorgen, dass die Strompreise für private Stromkunden und kleine Unternehmen sinken. DIE LINKE fordert, die Strompreise einzufrieren bis die Bundesregierung endlich ein sozial ausgeglichenes Konzept für die ökologische Energiewende vorlegt'', erklärt die stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende der LINKEN, Caren Lay (MdB), anlässlich der Meldung des Handelsblatts, wonach Bundeswirtschaftsminister Rösler weitere 350 Millionen Euro jährlich für Ausgleichszahlungen an die energieintensive Industrie einplane. Lay weiter:

Rösler begründet die neuerlichen Privilegien für die Großindustrie mit dem Totschlagargument des Erhalts von Arbeitsplätzen. Wo war der Wirtschaftsminister, als durch die planlose Energiepolitik der Bundesregierung Solarunternehmen reihenweise in die Insolvenz getrieben wurden und die Beschäftigten auf der Straße standen? Der Wirtschaftsminister sollte sich dringend Gedanken machen, wie viele Arbeitsplätze bedroht sind durch die sinkende Kaufkraft. Denn die stetig wachsenden Kosten für Strom, Wärme und Benzin schlagen immer größere Löcher in die Budgets privater Haushalte und kleinerer Unternehmen. Auch dort sind deshalb Arbeitsplätze gefährdet. Die Klientelpolitik der Bundesregierung zu Gunsten der Industrie-Lobby ist unerträglich. Die Umverteilung zugunsten der Industrie schlugen im Bundeshaushalt 2012 mit 6,5 Milliarden Euro zu Buche. Weitere 2,6 Milliarden Euro bezahlen die Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher über die Strompreise für die Großindustrie mit. Zusätzliche Kosten über mehrere Hundert Millionen Euro kommen 2013 durch die neu beschlossene Haftungsregelung des Off-Shore-Ausbaus und die Entschädigung für erzwungene Kraftwerksbetreibung auf die Stromkunden zu. Diese Politik auf dem Rücken der Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher ist kalt und unsozial. Sie gefährdet die Akzeptanz der Energiewende. Es reicht! DIE LINKE fordert ein Strompreismoratorium bis die Regierung einen Fahrplan für eine sozial ausgeglichene Energiewende vorlegt.

Fighting Back Against the ''Intellectual Property'' Racket

Lawrence Lessig denounces the bullying tactics of federal prosecutors and the injustice of disproportionate punishment: Aaron faced 50 years in jail for the 'crime' of downloading scientific journal articles with the intent to make them available to the public. But Lessig is wrong to frame a discussion of Aaron s prosecution around disproportionate punishment because what Aaron did deserves no punishment at all...

Juneau Empire

Iran sought Tuesday to spell out in its clearest terms yet that it is not seeking nuclear weapons, highlighting a religious decree issued by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that bans nuclear weapons. The latest reference to Khamenei s declaration is seen as a bid to close the door on debates that Iran may have carried out atomic bomb trigger tests as inspectors from the U.N. atomic watchdog were on their way to Tehran for a new round of discussions...

The US military approves bombing children

12/04/12

In October, I blogged about an incident in Afghanistan in which three small children were killed in a US airstrike. In that one small incident, which drew little attention at the time and since, three children aged 12, 10 and 8 were blown to smithereens in a NATO bombing while they were out gathering dung for fuel. Now, in a despicable article in Military Times, the US military says that children are legitimate targets in the war in Afghanistan because sometimes the Taliban and other insurgents use kids...

Why remember Iraq?

Antiwar.com
by Philip Giraldi

12/13/12

Most Americans would prefer to forget that we are approaching the first anniversary of the expulsion of U.S. military forces from Iraq. The Republican Party, which rallied behind George W. Bush to invade the country and occupy it, has suffered from a short memory relating to that misbegotten war even as it agitates for new and similar military interventions. Much of the silence on the subject is certainly due to the fact that most Democrats and nearly all the media were also on board, though perhaps for reasons that did not completely coincide with the Bush neocons? imperial vision...

Judge: Manning will not be allowed to present a defense

ABC News

01/16/13

A military judge s ruling on Wednesday tightly limited an Army private s ability to argue he had good reasons for allegedly sending hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. Pfc. Bradley Manning can use motive evidence at his June 3 trial only to show that he didn t know the leaked material would be seen by al-Qaida, or to seek leniency at sentencing, Col. Denise Lind ruled during a pretrial hearing. Evidence of motive isn t relevant to the other charges, she said...

Profiteure der Krise: Das dreifache Dilemma der Euro-Retter

''Griechenland, Spanien, Zypern - bei den Krisenstaaten, über die die Euro-Finanzminister heute beraten, zeigt sich ein Problem: Von den Rettungsaktionen profitieren vor allem Akteure, die es nicht verdienen. Nämlich Hedgefonds, Großbanken und russische Oligarchen?''

Siehe dazu: Krisenprofiteur deutscher Staat. Wie die Bundesregierung Milliardengewinne aus der Schuldenkrise zieht

''Während die Euro-Peripherieländer immer mehr im Schulden-Zins-Strudel untergehen, zieht der deutsche Staat Milliardengewinne aus der Euro-Schuldenkrise. Durch die hohe Nachfrage nach ''sicheren'' deutschen Staatsanleihen und das hohe Rating, kann die Bundesregierung zu niedrigsten Zinsen aller Zeiten Kredite aufnehmen und die Staatsschulden umschichten. isw-Mitarbeiter Fred Schmid berechnete die milliardenschweren Zinsgewinne.''

Bundestag lädt zum Griechen-Kasino: Spekulanten machen 200 Prozent Profit

''Das Rückkaufprogramm der griechischen Staatsanleihen bringt den Hedge Fonds einen gewaltigen Profit: Innerhalb von nur sechs Monaten streifen manche Spekulanten 200 Prozent ein, wenn sie zum richtigen Zeitpunkt auf das Einlenken von Angela Merkel gewettet haben. Das Echo auf das Rückkaufprogramm der griechischen Staatsanleihen ist offenbar sehr positiv. Für die griechischen Banken ist das Risiko gering, weil sie den Verlust, den sie jetzt auf dem Papier machen, ohnehin schon bald durch das vom Deutschen Bundestag mit überwältigender Mehrheit genehmigte Banken-Rettungsprogramm wieder bekommen. Aber auch die Hedgefonds können sich die Hände reiben: Zwei Drittel aller Hedge Fonds wollen sich die Gelegenheit nicht entgehen lassen?''

The ''Rule of Law'' and State Killings

By Bill Van Auken and David North

If the US government is empowered to carry out the extrajudicial execution of US citizens and noncitizens alike overseas, it is only a matter of time-that is, a matter of waiting for a carefully crafted political opportunity-before the president orders an assassination within the United States.

The protocols for death

12/06/12

The American public has become so desensitized to what its own government is doing abroad that there is only a ripple of interest when the media reports some new outrage. The assassination of expatriate American citizens by drones preceded detailed media accounts of how kill lists are drawn up by the president himself in the White House. And now there have been press reports of how the Obama administration, in the lead up to the presidential election, sought to establish 'explicit rules' for death by drone, thereby institutionalizing the practice as a component of the United States?

Thanks to the U.S. government s growing intolerance for dissidents who insist on transparency and accountability, oppose its endless wars and targeted killings of innocent civilians and terrorists alike, and demand that government officials abide by the rule of law, that list of so-called 'enemies of the state' is growing. One such 'enemy of the state' is Bradley Manning, an intelligence analyst who has been targeted by the Obama administration for holding up a mirror to the bloated face of American empire...
