U.S. drone policy killing hundreds of innocents, Obama says it s okay

Part of the problem for the U.S. is that Pashtun culture requires vengeance for murder, so when innocent men are killed, it drives sons and those around them into terrorist hands in a quest for vengeance. In this way, the drone policy is creating more terrorists.

Ten years ago this week, Americans were about to be introduced to a strange new concept, as they awaited the U.S. war to bring regime change in Iraq.

Ten years after the invasion of Iraq, the war criminals are still at large. Saddam Hussein is dead and buried, but the cabal that lied us into war is still around and not only that, they are mocking us from their podiums in the media, justifying and obscuring their crimes. ... There is much talk of the 'lessons' the war has supposedly taught us, and there is a significant debate about this, but what s clear is the lesson learned by the architects of this war: that being a neocon means never having to say you are sorry...

Iraq War among world s worst events

CounterPunch
by David Swanson

03/18/13

At 10 years since the launch of Operation Iraqi Liberation (to use the original name with the appropriate acronym, OIL) and over 22 years since Operation Desert Storm, there is little evidence that any significant number of people in the United States have a realistic idea of what our government has done to the people of Iraq, or of how these actions compare to other horrors of world history. A majority of Americans believe the war since 2003 has hurt the United States but benefitted Iraq. A plurality of Americans believe, not only that Iraqis should be grateful, but that Iraqis are in fact grateful...

Aufstocker: Callcenter kosten den Staat jährlich 36 Millionen Euro

?Die umstrittene Callcenter-Branche wächst, auch dank großzügiger Subventionen der Bundesregierung: 2011 flossen rund 36 Millionen Euro in den Sektor. Der Großteil waren Hartz-IV-Leistungen an Beschäftigte, deren Lohn nicht zum Leben reicht?'' Artikel von Yasmin El-Sharif auf Spiegel-Online vom 11.03.2013 http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/soziales/callcenter-kosten-den-staat-jaehrlich-36-millionen-euro-a-888076.html

Aus dem Text: ''(?) Neben den Hartz-IV-Leistungen bezuschusst der Staat die Callcenter zusätzlich. So gingen in den Jahren 2011/2012 noch mal rund fünf Millionen Euro als Fördermittel an die Branche, davon allein 3,4 Millionen Euro im Jahr 2011. In der Summe subventionierte der Staat die Firmen also in einem Jahr mit 36,1 Millionen Euro. Die Fördergelder stammen aus Töpfen von Bund und Ländern zur ''Verbesserung der regionalen Wirtschaftsstruktur''. Größte Profiteure waren die Länder Brandenburg und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Zu den geförderten Unternehmen zählen auch Callcenter großer deutscher Konzerne?''

Jeder dritte ALG II-Empfänger stockt auf

''Immer mehr Hartz IV- Empfänger stocken ihr Erwerbseinkommen auf. Rund 1,3 Millionen Menschen, das ist fast jeder dritte ALG II-Bezieher, sind es, während es vor fünf Jahren noch 23 Prozent waren. Das zeigen Auswertungen der offiziellen Arbeitsmarktstatistik, die das Institut Arbeit und Qualifikation (IAQ) der Universität Duisburg-Essen (UDE) jetzt im Informationsportal www.sozialpolitik-aktuell.de veröffentlicht hat. Die Gruppe der Aufstocker setzt sich sehr unterschiedlich zusammen: 44 Prozent sind sozialversicherungspflichtig beschäftigt, 36 Prozent üben einen Minijob aus, und zehn Prozent arbeiten selbstständig. Mehr als die Hälfte dieser sozialversichungspflichtig Beschäftigten arbeitet Vollzeit (57,7 Prozent). Dennoch verdienen sie so wenig, dass sie den Lebensunterhalt für sich und ihre Familie nicht aus eigener Kraft bestreiten können. Selbst Kindergeld, Kinderzuschläge und Wohngeld verhindern nicht, dass sie auf Unterstützung angewiesen sind. Vor allem in den neuen Bundesländern ist dies häufig der Fall ''Hier werden Niedriglöhne, von denen man nicht leben kann, aus Steuermitteln subventioniert'', kritisiert Prof. Dr. Gerhard Bäcker vom IAQ?." IAQ-Pressemitteilung vom 15.04.2013 http://www.iaq.uni-due.de/aktuell/presse/2013/130415.php

Die doppelte Prekarität: Aufstocker/innen zwischen Erwerbstätigkeit und Hartz IV

''Auseinandersetzungen um Teilhabe und Gerechtigkeit drehen sich aktuell häufig um Verwerfungen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, die sich unter anderem in prekärer Beschäftigung ausdrücken. Die Bandbreite an unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen prekärer Erwerbsarbeit eint dabei, dass sie mit einer niedrigen, existenziellen Absicherung von Individuen sowie geringen langfristigen Perspektiven einhergehen und damit prekäre, also unsichere, Folgewirkungen für Individuen entfalten (können)?''

In den vergangenen Monaten haben wir die FDP für ihre finanzielle Beziehung zur Glücksspiellobby immer wieder kritisiert. Der Automatenhersteller Gauselmann hatte der FDP für mehr als 1,3 Mio. Euro Anteile an den FDP-Tochterfirmen ProLogo und altmann-druck abgekauft. Wie nun bekannt wurde, übernahm Gauselmann Ende 2012 altmann-druck komplett und verkaufte die ProLogo-Anteile zurück an die FDP. Diese Auflösung der Firmenbeteiligungen brachte der FDP 864.000 Euro ein.

Die neue Transparenz ist positiv. Aber die Frage bleibt: Ist das ein Bruch mit der Glücksspiel-Industrie, der nebenbei Geld in die FDP-Kassen brachte? Oder ist es eine Geldspritze für die FDP, die als Entflechtung verkauft wird? Nach unserer Analyse bleibt die Entflechtung zumindest halbgar. Wir können keinen vollständigen Bruch zwischen FDP und Glücksspielindustrie erkennen.

Afghanistan s Karzai on collision course with US

''Those bombs that went off in Kabul and Khost were not a show of force to America. They were in service of America. It was in the service of the 2014 slogan to warn us if they (Americans) are not here then Taliban will come," Karzai said just hours before a meeting with the top US defense official, Chuck Hagel.

Allein in Spanien versorgt die Hilfsorganisation drei Millionen Bürger mit dem Nötigsten. Diese Nachricht zeigt die Auswirkungen der tiefen Krise in Europa so drastisch wie kaum eine offizielle Statistik: Wegen der zunehmenden Armut verteilen mittlerweile zwei Drittel der nationalen Rot-Kreuz-Gesellschaften in der EU Lebensmittelhilfen. Das habe es seit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs nicht gegeben, sagte der Generaldirektor des Internationalen Komitees des Roten Kreuzes (IKRK), Yves Daccord, an diesem Montag bei einem Besuch in der indischen Hauptstadt Neu-Delhi?''

EU-Gipfel: Weniger Jobs, mehr Armut. Attac kritisiert weitere Kürzungspolitik und Pläne für 'Pakt für Wettbewerbsfähigkeit'

''Weniger Arbeitsplätze, mehr Armut'', dies ist aus der Perspektive des globalisierungskritischen Netzwerks Attac das Fazit des EU-Gipfels am Donnerstag und Freitag in Brüssel, erklärte Alexis Passadakis, Mitglied im Rat von Attac. ''Die Beschlüsse der Regierungschefs zum Thema Beschäftigung beinhalten kaum Neues. Die finanziellen Mittel des Pakts für 'Wachstum und Beschäftigung' vom vergangenen Juni waren bereits alter Wein in neuen Schläuchen. Dass diese Initiative nun schon zum zweiten Mal aufgewärmt wird, zeigt, dass sie vor allem der Ablenkung dient. Währenddessen wird die europäische Kürzungspolitik weiter vorangetrieben, unter anderem mittels des 'Europäischen Semesters' und mit dem 'Pakt für Wettbewerbsfähigkeit''...''

15.000 Demonstranten in Brüssel: Juncker fürchtet eine Revolution

''Der ehemalige Eurogruppen-Chef zweifelt an der bisherigen Sparpolitik und spricht von einer möglichen Rebellion. Bereits vor Beginn des EU-Gipfels hatten sich etwa 15.000 Demonstranten in Brüssel versammelt, um zu protestieren?'' Artikel in Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten vom 15.03.13 http://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/2013/03/15/15-000-demonstranten-in-bruessel-juncker-fuerchtet-eine-revolution/

Aus dem Text: ''? Der ehemalige Eurogruppen-Chef Juncker blickt skeptisch auf die immer lauter werdende Kritik der EU-Bürger. Am Donnerstag sagte er in Brüssel, dass man dringend eine neue ''Schnittstelle zwischen Konsolidierungs- und Wachstumspolitik'' benötige. ''Ich habe große Sorgen hinsichtlich der kommenden wirtschaftlichen Entwicklungen'', so Juncker. ''Ich will nicht ausschließen, dass wir Gefahr laufen, eine soziale Revolution, eine soziale Rebellion zu erleben'', ergänzte er. Junckers Sorge ist nicht ganz unbegründet. Bereits Ende Februar hatte der ehemalige griechische Spitzen-Diplomat Leonidas Chrysanthakopoulos vor einer Explosion sozialer Unruhen in Griechenland gewarnt?''

Ein Mindestlohn für Arbeit und Rente. Erforderliche Höhe eines existenzsichernden Mindestlohns

''In der politischen Auseinandersetzung um künftig vermehrt drohende Altersarmut wird von vielen Seiten auf die zentrale Bedeutung eines allgemeinen gesetzlichen Mindestlohns verwiesen. Als potenzielle Ursache weit weniger Aufmerksamkeit findet hingegen die drastische Senkung des Rentenniveaus. Wie hoch müsste ein Mindestlohn sein, der sowohl die »Hartz-IV«-Aufstockung vermeidet als auch fürs Alter eine Rente erwarten lässt, die wenigstens das Existenzminimum deckt? Und: Kann der Mindestlohn überhaupt ein wirksames Instrument zum Ausgleich der Rentenniveausenkung sein?...'' Artikel von Johannes Steffen vom 10.
