Jahrestag Deepwater Horizon - Uneinsichtigkeit des BP-Konzerns unterstreicht Berechtigung für Internationalen ethecon Black Planet Award 2010

Zwölf Monate nach der Katastrophe im Golf von Mexiko hat BP ganz offenkundig nichts hinzugelernt. Die Verantwortlichen des Konzerns, der Aufsichtsratsvorsitzende C. H. Svanberg und der Vorstandsvorsitzende Bob Dudley, wollen so schnell wie möglich zur Tagesordnung übergehen. Sie versuchen den Eindruck zu vermitteln, als sei die Katastrophe längst überstanden. Die Presserklärung von ethecon vom 19.04.2011 http://www.ethecon.org/de/1318


Das Gift ist nicht verschwunden - BP versucht sich mit Entschädigungen gegen Klageverzicht aus der Verantwortung zu stehlen

'Als vor einem Jahr vor der Küste des US-Bundesstaates Louisiana die Bohrinsel »Deepwater Horizon« des britischen Ölkonzerns BP explodierte, ahnten wohl nur Pessimisten, wieviel Öl auslaufen und wie lange es dauern würde, bis das Bohrloch wieder verschlossen ist. Nach über drei Monaten war das Loch gestopft. Ein Jahr später sieht es vor Ort oberflächlich heil aus und die angekündigten Konsequenzen für besseren Umweltschutz sind offenbar vergessen. Dem Anschein zum Trotz sind die Folgen der Ölpest noch längst nicht bewältigt?'

Ölkonzern auf der Anklagebank: Proteste überschatten BP-Jahresversammlung ? Atempause in Streit mit russischen Oligarchen

Der britische Ölkonzern BP bekommt es mit seinen eigenen Aktionären zu tun. Diese ärgern sich über hohe Kursverluste, Millionenzahlungen an die Unternehmensführung und ein verpatztes Geschäft in Russland. Artikel von Gabriel Rath, London, im Neues Deutschland vom 20.04.2011 http://www.neues-deutschland.de/artikel/195939.oelkonzern-auf-der-anklagebank.html


Deepwater Horizon - Tiefer und tiefer

Vor einem Jahr explodierte die Ölplattform im Golf von Mexiko. Die Umweltschäden bestimmen bis heute den Alltag. Und die Ölkonzerne bohren wieder. Artikel von Dorothea Hahn in der TAZ vom 20.04.2011 http://www.taz.de/1/zukunft/umwelt/artikel/1/tiefer-und-tiefer-1/

We are either gonna look at you naked or feel you up ? your call. That s the choice the federal Transportation Security Administration offers any law-abiding citizen who wants to fly - and the fact that we are willing to put up with it shows that there s something seriously wrong in America today...

If Tea Parties have a death wish, they will promote and support big government neocons such as Newt Gingrich. If they want to truly change the course of their states and country, they will promote and support only those men and women who understand what constitutionalism, limited-government, and liberty really mean--and who have the courage and fortitude to actually defend those principles after being elected. Anything less is just more of the same.........

Cary Fraser, Truthout: 'The recent decision by the Obama administration to spearhead the NATO effort to oust Muammar Qaddafi from power in Libya reflects the oft-evident American penchant for war as a substitute for intelligent diplomacy. It was this mindset during the George W. Bush administration which led the US into pursuing two expensive and indecisive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.'

America in the Hands of a Professional Military

Jeff Shear, Miller-McCune: 'Americans observe two anniversaries this year, neither one of them wanted. March marked eight years of combat in Iraq, and October, 10 years of fighting in Afghanistan. These are America's 'long wars,' a seemingly endless grind of combat. These long wars invite comparison, and some recall the eight years of US war in Vietnam, but there is a more compelling distinction. It was a conscript Army that flew its Hueys over the jungles of the Mekong Delta; it is an all-volunteer force that drives its Humvees along the Tigris and in the shattered urban landscape of Kabul.'
