Nearly half of public school children in the United States were poor in the school year that ended in 2011, according to a new study by the Southern Education Foundation (SEF), the oldest US educational charity. In 17 states in the South and four in the West, children from low-income families comprised a majority in public schools.

Have Churches Become Agents Of The State?

by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

Most readers are familiar with how FEMA created a program called "Clergy Response Teams" several years ago. Under this program, tens of thousands of pastors were instructed on how to assist the federal government in the event of a "national emergency." Pastors were encouraged to teach Bible lessons from Romans 13 in which church members were told that God instructs them to always submit to civil authority unconditionally.......

Großhandelspreise und Industrieausnahmen treiben EEG-Umlage

EEG-Umlage erhöht sich vor allem wegen Entwicklung der Großhandelspreise und Industrieausnahmen.

Erneuerbare Energien keine Strompreis-Treiber mehr

Lässt Oettinger Subventionszahlen frisieren?

Ist die Energiewende wirklich zu teuer? Die Süddeutsche Zeitung hat es schwarz auf weiß: Laut einem Bericht der EU-Kommission von Günther Oettinger erhalten Kohle- und Gaskraftwerke sowie die Atombranche pro Jahr 101 Milliarden Euro Subventionen und alle erneuerbare Energien zusammen 35 Milliarden. Von wegen die Energiewende sei zu teuer! Wie auch Oettinger immer wieder behauptet. Kommentar von Franz Alt

Vor vier Jahren war die öffentliche Debatte ebenso durch ein Energiethema geprägt: Die Atomenergie, zu der trotz bestehenden Ausstiegsbeschlusses, klarer Gesetzeslage und ablehnender Haltung der Bevölkerung lange vor der Bundestagswahl eine gewaltige, wie sich später zeigte, erfolgreiche Pro-Kernenergie-Kampagne gestartet worden war. Am 28. Oktober 2010, beschloss der Bundestag mit den Stimmen von Union und FDP die Verlängerung der Laufzeiten für die Atomkraftwerke. Gastkommentar von Tina Ternus

End America s central bank because it caused the crashes of 2008, 1987, and 1929 and will blunder again. That s what many critics are saying about the Federal Reserve System (the Fed), which turns 100 on December 23. They note that on the Fed s watch America has endured numerous bubbles, crashes, and inflationary cycles that have greatly devalued the dollar. The Fed, they say, has caused or aggravated several crashes.

New UN report highlights how US drone policy violates international law

Antiwar.com
by Cathy Reisenwitz

10/21/13

The United Nations General Assembly just released the latest Report of the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. The report is necessary, in part, because 'There is...a notable lack of consensus on how to apply the rules of international law that regulate the use of force to drones.' The report provides a framework to help states ensure their fatal drone strikes are conducted in line with existing international law. Evaluating US drone strike policy in light of these recommendations, it is clear that the United States is not currently in line with international law concerning targeted killings, first and foremost regarding transparency....

US budget deal postpones financial doomsday

If you are an American, it s a price that has resulted in a recession and recovery characterized by historically high poverty, with 42 million Americans on food stamps, and historically low rates of Americans working, with only 63% of the population gainfully employed.

The next food stamp crisis is about to hit

If youhave been following the food stamp debate in Washington, you know it s about whether to cut food stamp benefits for the disadvantaged by $4 billion a year (the House proposal) or only $400 million a year (the Senate plan).

Cutting food stamps: The ruthlessness of the American ruling class

Food assistance benefits for over 45 million Americans will be slashed starting this Friday, in the first-ever nationwide reduction in benefits under the US government s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), popularly known as food stamps.

http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/10/29/pers-o29.html



No Time to Wait on a Movement

This Friday, 48 million people-including more than 21 million children-will see their food stamp (SNAP) benefits reduced. Instead of receiving an average of a buck-fifty for a meal, individuals in need of food assistance will get about $1.40. For families of three, the cut means they will receive $29 less in food stamps every month.

Republican War on Food Stamps: One Giant Lie

The Daily Take, The Thom Hartmann Program: Last month, Republicans in the House approved a bill that would cut a staggering $39 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, otherwise known as food stamps, over the next decade. President Obama has said that he will veto that House bill should it reach his desk, but the damage is still going to be done.
