Hartz IV reicht für Stromkosten nicht aus

Was viele Nicht-Betroffene nicht wissen: Hartz IV Leistungsberechtigte müssen die Stromkosten vom kargen Regelsatz http://www.gegen-hartz.de/hartzivregelleistung.html selbst bezahlen. Knapp 32 Euro steht einem Single-Haushalt im Rahmen der Regelleistungen für Stromkosten zur Verfügung. Doch mit diesem geringen Betrag kommen nur die Wenigsten aus, da die Energielieferanten jedes Jahr aufs neue die Kosten für Strom erhöhen. Sozialverbände sprechen daher in diesem Zusammenhang von ''einer massiven Unterdeckung durch stetig steigende Strompreise''. Weil sich viele schlichtweg die Strompreise nicht mehr leisten können, droht die Abschaltung. Ein Stromanbieterwechsel scheidet oftmals aus, weil viele Anbieter einen Verdienstnachweis oder Vorkasse verlangen... Weiterlesen:

Hartz IV Regelsätze verstoßen angeblich nicht gegen die Verfassung

Erneut vertritt das Bundessozialgericht in Kassel die Auffassung, dass die Höhe der Hartz IV Regelbedarfe nicht gegen gegen den Artikel 1 der Grundgesetz (Menschenwürde) in Verbindung mit Artikel 20 des Grundgesetzes (Sozialstaatsprinzip) verstoßen und damit zu niedrig bemessen sind. Auch in der Revisionsinstanz hatten die Kläger bereits keinen Erfolg. Der Anwalt der Familie prüft eine Verfassungsbeschwerde vor dem Bundesverfassungsgericht. Weiterlesen:

General Cartwright Warns of Drone 'Blowback'

According to the general, who s been a long-time skeptic of the war in Afghanistan, drones cause anger, bitterness and resentment among Muslim populations targeted in the attacks, and he suggested that their use will cause 'blowback,' i.e., attacks against the United States...

Der Kohle-Filz

''Die Verknüpfungen zwischen Politik und Kohleindustrie in Deutschland sind vielfältig und zahlreich. Viele deutsche Politiker wechseln offenbar fröhlich zwischen Kohleindustrie und Politik hin und her. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt die heute von Greenpeace veröffentlichte Studie ''Schwarzbuch Kohlepolitik''?? Artikel von Annika Rieger bei Greenpeace vom 11.04.2013 http://www.greenpeace.de/themen/energie/nachrichten/artikel/der_kohle_filz/

Siehe dazu:

Schwarzbuch Kohle

Die Studie zum Download bei Greenpeace (pdf) http://www.greenpeace.de/fileadmin/gpd/user_upload/themen/energie/20130409-Schwarzbuch-Kohle.pdf

Aus dem Text: ''(?) Historisch lässt sich das gut nachvollziehen. Insbesondere in Nordrhein-Westfalen ist die SPD als langjährige Regierungspartei mit der regional stark verankerten Energiewirtschaft auf das Engste verbunden. Viele Politiker stammen aus Familien mit Bergbauvergangenheit und haben die Affinität zur Kohle in die Wiege gelegt bekommen. Viele aber haben nicht nur eine ideelle Verbindung zum dreckigsten aller Energieträger, sondern sind Teil der Konzernspitzen. Unzählige Sozialdemokraten sitzen in den Aufsichtsräten und Beiräten der Kohlekonzerne. Die Nähe der SPD zu den Gewerkschaften zeigt Wirkung: Arbeitnehmervertreter mit Parteibuch gehen zuhauf für die Kohle auf die Barrikaden?''

How the news media betrayed us on Iraq

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Sheldon Richman

03/26/13

The tenth anniversary of the start of America s illegal and aggressive war against Iraq should not pass without recalling that the mainstream news media eagerly participated in the Bush administration?s dishonest campaign for public support. It is no exaggeration to say that most news operations were little more than extensions of the White House Office of Communications...

On the hunger strikes at Guantanamo prison

CounterPunch
by Stephen Soldz and Bradley Olson

04/08/13

The situation that has sparked the hunger strike at Guantanamo induces both hopelessness and powerlessness. All of the detainees have been imprisoned for years, many having been there for over 10 years, with no indication of how long they will remain imprisoned or if they will ever be released. The vast majority has never been charged with a crime. Most have been cleared for release for several years, but they remain imprisoned in harsh circumstances due to a lack of political will among U.S. political leaders...

Parteispenden: 74 % bleiben im Dunkeln

Bei fast drei Viertel der Spenden an die Parteien bleibt die Herkunft unbekannt. Das hat unsere Auswertung der am Mittwoch veröffentlichten Rechenschaftsberichte der Parteien für das Jahr 2011 ergeben.

Als Verschleierungstaktik nutzen Großspender den Trick, ihre Spenden zu stückeln. Denn während eine Spende über 50.000 Euro sofort veröffentlicht werden muss, geschieht dies nicht, wenn die Spende in mehrere Beträge unter dieser Grenze aufgeteilt wird, auch wenn sie in der Summe die 50.000 Euro im Jahr weit überschreitet. So spendete etwa der Verband der Chemischen Industrie 2011 insgesamt jeweils über 50.000 Euro an CDU (110.000), SPD (60.000) und FDP (72.000), ohne dass diese Summen sofort veröffentlicht wurden. Die Spenden tauchen dann erst etwa 15 Monate später in den Rechenschaftsberichten der Parteien auf. Dadurch wird es der Öffentlichkeit erschwert, Großspenden kritisch zu prüfen und auf mögliche Zusammenhänge mit politischen Entscheidungen zu untersuchen.

Auch bei den Spenden unter 10.000 Euro und bei Einnahmen aus Sponsoring-Geschäften fehlt es an Transparenz.

Wir setzen uns für Schranken und Transparenz bei der Parteienfinanzierung ein. Dafür ist es wichtig, dass dieses Problem vielen Menschen bekannt ist. Bitte helfen Sie, diese Informationen zu verbreiten, ob per Mail, Facebook oder Twitter. Gerne können Sie auch unsere Grafik dazu nutzen und verbreiten. Vielen Dank!

Tabaklobbyist im Ethik-Kommitee? Nicht mit uns!

Der Europäische Bürgerbeauftragte will einer weiteren Beschwerde von LobbyControl nachgehen. Wir hatten uns über die erneute Berufung des ehemaligen EU-Beamten Michel Petite in das Ethik-Komitee der EU-Kommission beschwert. Denn Petite heuerte nach seiner Beamtenzeit als Lobbyist für die Tabakindustrie an. Als Mitglied des Ethik-Komitees soll er nun genau solche Seitenwechsel von scheidenden Kommissaren überwachen. Unser Protest im Januar reichte leider aus, um die Berufung zu verhindern. Jetzt konnten wir erreichen, dass der Ombudsmann der Sache nachgeht.

The disasters that US intervention created

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Sheldon Richman

03/21/13

Americans have forgotten about the Iraq war, which began 10 years ago this week, and the Afghan war, the longest in American history, but the U.S. government is still throwing its weight around in both countries. The Iraq war, the pretext for which was nonexistent weapons of mass destruction, officially ended in 2011 with the withdrawal of virtually all of America s combat troops. But the havoc wreaked by the U.S. invasion and regime change goes on...

The Iraq war was no cake walk

Cato Institute
by Christopher A. Preble

03/20/13

Tragically, the Iraq War was not worth the costs. The leading advocates for war understated the costs and exaggerated the benefits. They claimed that the war would be cheap, perhaps even profitable, thanks to lower oil prices. They suggested that it would be easy, a 'cakewalk,' not requiring a long-term U.S presence to stabilize the country after Saddam Hussein s ouster. They blithely dismissed concerns about the tensions between Arabs and Kurds, and between Sunnis and Shiites. We now know how wrong they were...

A generation of war

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

03/20/13

Living in the imperial metropolis, American youth are largely unaware of the horrors visited on their counterparts abroad by our government, crimes committed in our name and with our tax dollars: and it isn t just drones. The whole panoply of Washington?s 'regime change' operations, from covert activities to open threats of military aggression, is a curse on the planet. YAL is bringing awareness of this vital issue to a new generation of potential troublemakers, who will hopefully make plenty of trouble for our arrogant rulers in the years to come...

The Plague of Wall Street Banking

By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers

They blame the people, cut their benefits, tax their savings and demand they work harder for less money.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article34360.htm



Richest 20 percent get half the overall savings from U.S. tax breaks, CBO says
