Mali: Here we go again

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Sheldon Richman

01/28/13

In testimony before Senate and House committees, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton enthusiastically endorsed increased U.S. intervention in Africa. When government officials seem incapable of learning obvious lessons from the recent past, maybe their incentive is not to learn but to keep doing the same destructive things...

Good Terrorist, Bad Terrorist

By Chandra Muzaffar

Hollywood s Imperial propaganda

CounterPunch
by Joe Giambrone

02/20/13

Hollywood likes to pretend that things aren?t political when they are. It s that bi-partisan nationalist myth that if both corporate parties agree to cheer for the empire, then everyone cheers for the empire. It s gotten so bad now that races like the Oscars and the Writer s Guild screenwriting award are tight contests between one CIA propaganda film and another CIA propaganda film. The first one helps to demonize Iranians and set up the next World War scenario, while the second film fraudulently promotes the effectiveness of state-sanctioned torture crimes...

The Real Invasion of Africa is Not News and a Licence to Lie is Hollywood s Gift

By John Pilger

It is as if Africa s proud history of liberation, from Patrice Lumumba to Nelson Mandela, is consigned to oblivion by a new master s black colonial elite whose ''historic mission'', warned Frantz Fanon half a century ago, is the promotion of ''a capitalism rampant though camouflaged''.

The Ominous U.S. Presence in Northwest Africa

By Sheldon Richman

Since we know that the original al-Qaeda grievances against the United States were about brutal U.S. intervention in the Muslim world, we already know how to minimize, if not eliminate, a domestic threat from al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb: withdrawal from the region.

The president of perpetual war

In These Times
by David Sirota

01/25/13

Four years into his presidency, Barack Obama s political formula should be obvious. He gives fabulous speeches teeming with popular liberal ideas, often refuses to take the actions necessary to realize those ideas and then banks on most voters, activists, reporters and pundits never bothering to notice, or care about, his sleight of hand.

... Never was this formula more apparent than when the president discussed military conflicts during his second inaugural address. Declaring that 'a decade of war is now ending,' he insisted that he 'still believe(s) that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war.' The lines generated uncritical applause, much of it from anti-war liberals who protested against the Bush administration. Living up to Obama s calculation, few seemed to notice that the words came from the same president who is manufacturing a state of 'perpetual war'...

Klares Nein zur Privatisierung von Wasser

''Die Wasserversorgung muss eine öffentliche Aufgabe bleiben. Nur so kann der Zugang zu bezahlbarem und günstigem Wasser gewährleistet bleiben'' erklärt Caren Lay, stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende der LINKEN angesichts der geplanten Richtlinie im europäischen Parlament, nach der Kommunen zukünftig ihre Wasserversorgung ab einer Auftragshöhe von 8 Millionen europaweit ausschreiben müssen und dabei auch private Anbieter berücksichtigen sollen. Caren Lay weiter:

Es gibt bereits negative Beispiele bei der die Wasserprivatisierung in anderen Ländern. In Teilen Portugals stieg der Preis um 400 Prozent für die Kunden. In London spart das private Unternehmen an den Leitungen, so dass es immer wieder zu Wasserrohrbrüchen kommt. Dies soll nun Verbraucherinnen und Verbrauchern in ganz Europa drohen. Vorteile haben durch die EU-Vorgabe nur die großen Konzerne. Auch in Deutschland gibt es bereits Beispiele. Im Sommer verfügte das Bundeskartellamt, dass die Wasserpreise in Berlin deutlich gesenkt werden müssen. Die Wasserversorgung ist in der Hauptstadt teilweise in den Händen der privaten Unternehmen RWE und Veolia, die nicht die Bedürfnisse der Menschen, sondern ihre vollen Kassen im Sinn haben. Dies müssen vielleicht bald alle Kommunen fürchten. Nach der Strompreisexplosion in Folge von Privatisierung droht nun der nächste Schock für die Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher. Wasser gehört für DIE LINKE zur Grundversorgung und eignet sich nicht als Handelsobjekt. Die EU-Richtlinie muss gestoppt werden. Darüber hinaus brauchen wir dringend vor Ort kommunale Wasserbeiräte um Bürgerinnen und Bürger einzubinden.

Unser Wasser ist in Gefahr

''Der Widerstand gegen drohende Privatisierung unseres Trinkwassers ist richtig und wichtig und ich freue mich auf umfassende Proteste. Die Menschen müssen ihren Widerstand auf die Straße tragen und klar machen, dass die Wasserversorgung in öffentlicher Hand bleiben muss'', erklärt Caren Lay, stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende der LINKEN, anlässlich des heutigen Weltwassertages. Lay weiter:

Durch eine geplante EU-Richtlinie könnte die Wasserversorgung in weiten Teilen für die Privatwirtschaft geöffnet werden. Auch nach den Zugeständnissen von EU-Kommissar Barnier gibt es noch keinen Grund zur Entwarnung. In Deutschland sind nach wie vor ein Drittel aller Stadtwerke von möglicher Privatisierung bedroht. Dort, wo das schon geschehen ist, haben Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher mit verheerenden Folgen zu kämpfen. In London kommt es durch Einsparungen des Unternehmens an der Wartung immer wieder zu Wasserrohrbrüchen und in Portugal erleben wir eine Preisexplosion von 400 Prozent. Es gilt zu verhindern, dass sich derartige Zustände europaweit ausbreiten. Wir als LINKE unterstützen die Proteste und sagen: Wasser muss für alle Menschen zugänglich und bezahlbar sein. Noch immer haben circa 2 Millionen Menschen in Europa keine angemessene Trink- und Abwasserversorgung. Weltweit besitzen 800 Millionen Menschen keinen Zugang zu Wasser und über 2 Milliarden haben keinen Zugang zum Abwassersystem. DIE LINKE fordert daher alle Bestrebungen zur Privatisierung von Wasser zu stoppen und die geplante EU-Richtlinie abzulehnen. Wettbewerb ist das falsche Instrument für die Güter der öffentlichen Daseinsvorsorge.

Privatisierung und Widerstand: Wasser, Strom, Gas, Das Berliner Wasser

Wasserkampf geht juristisch weiter. Initiativen und Opposition erwägen, die Teilprivatisierung vorm Verfassungsgericht zu kippen

''Wie weiter im Kampf gegen die Privatisierung des Wassers? Das ist die zentrale Frage, die sich die zahlreichen Initiativen in Berlin, die im Februar 2011 gemeinsam den erfolgreichen Volksentscheid zum Wasser gestemmt hatten, aber auch die Oppositionsparteien Grüne, Piraten und Linkspartei derzeit stellen. Denn nach dem Abschluss des Sonderausschusses im Abgeordnetenhaus und dem Rückkauf der RWE-Anteile an den Berliner Wasserbetrieben (BWB) droht das Thema Wasser-Rekommunalisierung von der politischen Agenda zu verschwinden. Dabei ist Privatisierung des Wassers durch die aktuellen Bemühungen der EU-Kommission, die Wasserprivatisierung in Europa zwangsweise zu verordnen, hochaktuell?''

Imported Torture Haunts Poland

According to a U.S. intelligence source quoted by The New York Times, the prison in Poland was the most important of the CIA s black sites, where terror suspects were subjected to interrogation techniques that would not be legal in the United States. The source claimed that Poland was picked mostly because ''Polish intelligence officials were eager to cooperate.''

Drones Watch has compiled a list of the names of children killed in America s drone bombings of Pakistan and Yemen.
