Studie enthüllt: Banken haben Politik bei Euro-Rettung erpresst

''Die Banken haben bei den Rettungs-Aktionen in Griechenland, Spanien und Zypern die Regierungen und die EU offenbar knallhart erpresst. Der Steuerzahler wurde über Gebühr geschröpft, weil die Regierungen zu hohe Kredit-Kosten für weitere Schulden fürchteten. Sehr unangenehm: Der deutsche Steuerzahler ist bis 2018 in keiner Weise vor weiteren Milliarden-Opfern geschützt. Eine von den Grünen Abgeordneten Gerhard Schick und Sven Giegold bei der Finanzberatung Finpolconsult in Auftrag gegebene Studie kommt zu einem bemerkenswerten Ergebnis: Die Banken haben die Regierungen in Europa bei den Banken-Rettungen in Griechenland, Spanien und Zypern offenkundig mit der Drohung erpresst, dass Staatsanleihen und damit Staats-Schulden noch teurer würden, wenn die Banken nicht gerettet würden?''

Merkels Milliardenhypothek: das falsche Spiel mit Griechenlands Schulden

'Angela Merkels Ablehnung eines weiteren Schuldenschnitts für Griechenland wird von Monat zu Monat unhaltbarer. Nun mahnt sogar schon der IWF 'Schuldenerleichterungen' für den griechischen Staat an. Dass es so weit kommen musste, ist eine direkte Folge von Merkels Krisenpolitik. Deutschland wird schon bald die Rechnung für die marktkonforme Politik seiner Kanzlerin serviert bekommen. Denn Angela Merkel hat alles in ihrer Macht stehende getan, um die privaten Gläubiger Griechenlands herauszuboxen und die Risiken dem Steuerzahler aufzuladen. Wen wundert es da, dass die Kanzlerin ihre guten Umfragewerte über die Zeit retten und momentan nichts von einem Schuldenschnitt wissen will?...'Artikel von Jens Berger vom 8.

Banken außer Kontrolle. Wie die Politik uns in die Krise führte: Film von Stefan Jäger und Julia Klüssendorf

'Die Finanzkrise kam über Deutschland wie ein Tsunami, von weit her und völlig unvorhersehbar. Verantwortlich sind die USA, die Leidtragenden sind wir. Diese These ist ebenso eingängig wie falsch. Die Autoren Julia Klüssendorf und Stefan Jäger zeigen, wie alle Regierungen in Deutschland seit den 90ern die vorhandenen Alarmsignale ignoriert haben. Die Autoren blicken hinter die Kulissen und zeigen, warum unsere Politiker den Bankern freie Hand ließen?'

Permanent Washington?s backlash to Edward Snowden

In These Times
by David Sirota

06/14/13

Whether in celebrity culture or in our Facebook-mediated interactions, we live in the age of the human being as a public brand. So there s nothing surprising about the reaction to this week s disclosures about the National Security Agency s unprecedented surveillance program. In our cult-of-personality society, that reaction has been predictably, and unfortunately, focused less on the agency s possible crimes against the entire country than on Edward Snowden, the government contractor who disclosed the wrongdoing. Almost universally, the government officials, pundits and reporters who comprise Permanent Washington have derided Snowden...

The Stalinization of Amerika

by Mary Theroux

06/17/13

In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, rather than hold accountable and roll the heads of the bunglers at the U.S. intelligence agencies who failed to follow up on multiple reports of possible terrorist activity.... Intelligence agencies were instead granted the expanded budgets and power that are always sought in the aftermath of a crisis. They were forced to abandon the nifty name and logo they had come up with (pictured at right, above) when it?s too-graphic, Big Brother-isc depiction elicited protest, but the spirit was fully retained, and a new era of unprecedented, total and widespread spying on innocent Americans began...

America: An empire of databases

Fox News Forum

If you are reading this, the federal government probably already knows it. Sure, that s being sarcastic...but not really. The Washington Post first revealed that the National Security Agency (NSA) and the FBI are 'tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. internet companies, extracting audio, video, photographs, emails, documents and connection logs that enable analysts to track a person s movements and contacts over time' through a secret program called PRISM, which dates back to 2007. The NSA s eavesdropping on innocent civilians joins a number of 4th Amendment violations in the U.S. that have surfaced in recent months...

Intervention temptation

Cato Institute
by Doug Bandow

06/13/13

Administration officials reportedly are debating providing arms to Syria s insurgents. A National Security Council spokeswoman explained: ''We are taking a closer look at what we can do to help the opposition.'' It s a bad idea. This kind of messy conflict is precisely the sort in which Washington should not get involved. Not everything in the world is or should be about the U.S. or what Washington wants...

Reason
by Andrew P. Napolitano

06/13/13

The government says we should trust it. Who in his right mind would do so after this? President Obama says the feds have your phone records but are not listening to your calls and will not read your emails. Who would believe him? James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, testified that the feds were not gathering vast data on Americans. Who would trust him? The NSA says that Congress knew about all this, but its members were prohibited from telling the American people. What kind of a democracy is that?

Sorry, Mr. Obama, the Constitution is not negotiable

Fox News Forum

In the United States, we are supposed to have a government that is limited with its parameters established by our Constitution. This notion that the federal government can monitor everyone s phone data is a major departure from how Americans have traditionally viewed the role of government. If this is acceptable practice, as the White House and many in both parties now say it is, then there are literally no constitutional protections that can be guaranteed anymore to citizens...

Covering up indiscriminate killing

All in all, Manning s crime is that he is a whistle-blower of government war-crimes. Knowing that war-crimes have been committed, and that members of the military were killing civilians, at times doing so intentionally, it should come as no surprise that the CIA did not always know who it was targeting and killing in drone strikes.

''Die USA tun es wieder. 2003 wurde der Irak-Krieg mit einer Biowaffenlüge begonnen. Jetzt konstruiert Obama sich seinen Kriegsgrund für Syrien. Die Beweislage ist ganz, ganz dünn. Vor allem gibt es keinen Beweis dafür, dass ein möglicher Einsatz von Chemiewaffen von Assads Seite durchgeführt wurde'', kommentiert Jan van Aken, stellvertretender Vorsitzender der LINKEN und außenpolitischer Sprecher der Linksfraktion im Bundestag die jüngsten Aussagen der US-Regierung, dass Assad Chemiewaffen in Syrien eingesetzt habe.

Van Aken weiter: ''Selbst wenn tatsächlich Giftgas in Syrien eingesetzt wurde, bleibt völlig offen, wer es eingesetzt hat. Die Behauptung, nur Assad kontrolliere diese Waffen, ist sehr weit hergeholt. Seit der Warnung Obamas von der ''roten Linie'' müssen wir doch damit rechnen, dass Rebellen alles daran setzen, einen Chemiewaffenangriff vorzutäuschen oder gar selbst auszulösen, um damit einen Kriegseintritt der USA zu provozieren. Deshalb ist es richtig, dass die Syrien-Kommission der UNO immer darauf hinweist, dass es nicht möglich sei, die Täter festzustellen. Es spricht einiges dagegen, dass die Chemiewaffen, so sie denn tatsächlich zum Einsatz gekommen sind, von Assads Regierungstruppen eingesetzt wurden. Militärisch macht der Einsatz von kleinsten Mengen Giftgas punktuell an einem Ort überhaupt gar keinen Sinn. Einzelne Giftgranaten bringen taktisch in einem Gefecht kaum messbare Vorteile, während sie strategisch mit dem großen Risiko behaftet ist, dass die USA militärisch angreifen. Ein Einsatz einzelner Chemiegranaten durch die Assad-Truppen wäre deshalb im höchsten Maße irrational.''

US to Give Military Support to Syrian Rebels as 'Red Line' Crossed

The NSA and the infrastructure of the Surveillance State

CounterPunch
by Eric Draitser

[T]he political landscape in the United States has so thoroughly devolved that elected officials are more concerned about stopping the whistleblowers and leakers, than about addressing America s continued descent into a fascist police state. Despite all of this, Americans continue to be told that this is the 'sweet land of liberty.' We may be able to buy Nike sneakers and flat screen TVs, but that s not liberty. We may be able to tweet with our iPhones and download our favorite movies, but that s not liberty either. Rather, as George Orwell famously wrote, 'If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear'''...
