Obama insults our intelligence on civil liberties

Independent Institute
by Anthony Gregory

01/29/14

In last night s state of the union, an uncharacteristically boring speech climaxing in a bipartisan tribute to sacrificial militarism, the president had very little to say about civil liberties, one of the main focuses of his campaign in 2008. He uttered less than a paragraph. And with every word, he treated us like we re all idiots...

Is Barack Obama a tyrant?

The American Prospect
by Paul Waldman

01/29/14

A typical State of the Union address is criticized for being a 'laundry list,' little more than an endless string of proposals the president would like to see enacted. The criticism usually has two parts: first, most of the items on the laundry list will never come to pass, and second, it makes for a boring speech...

Sovereignty and preventive war

Independent Country
by James Leroy Wilson

01/25/14

Respect for national sovereignty is necessary, but not because foreign rulers are good. Not even because State regimes are 'legitimate' (they are not). It s necessary because these are the conditions into which we were born. We can blunder about, attacking one foreign monster after another, only to find out that we are not saving foreign civilians from anything, we are just adding to the killing...

Melville makes our murderous obsessions, our hubris, violent impulses, moral weakness and inevitable self-destruction visible in his chronicle of a whaling voyage.

Derzeit dominiert in der Diskussion um die Energiewende die Kostenfrage. Diese Sichtweise greift nach Überzeugung der Experten vom Fraunhofer-Institut für Windenergie und Energiesystemtechnik (IWES) jedoch zu kurz. In ihrer soeben veröffentlichten Studie *Geschäftsmodell Energiewende* zeigen die Wissenschaftler, dass Investitionen in die Energiewende durchaus rentabel sind und wie sie bis 2050 finanziert werden könnten. *Unsere umfangreichen Berechnungen belegen, dass die Energiewende auch unter sehr konservativen Annahmen, insbesondere für institutionelle Anleger ein hochattraktives Geschäft ist*, erklärt IWES-Institutsleiter Prof. Clemens Hoffmann.
