AN electronics firm wants to build a 42ft mobile phone mast next to one of Romsey’s largest residential areas.

Plans are in the pipeline to construct a Vodafone base station on land at the corner of Braishfield Road and Winchester Road, backing on to the Great Woodley estate.

But the scheme, outlined by Tyco Electronics, has already been given a lukewarm reception by Romsey Town Council.

After discussing the matter at their planning committee, councillors decided to write to the company warning that residents may have health fears.

"Wir brauchen keinen Silvio Koch"

Der hessische SPD-Fraktionsvorsitzende Thorsten Schäfer-Gümbel hat Ministerpräsident Roland Koch (CDU) vorgeworfen, mit seiner Attacke gegen den ZDF-Chefredakteur einen "der größten Angriffe auf die Unabhängigkeit der Medien der letzten Jahrzehnte" unternommen zu haben. Nur vordergründig gehe es dabei um Zahlen, im Kern gehe es um Macht. "Nikolaus Brender hat sich nicht als willfähriger Journalist profiliert, sondern als das Gegenteil. Er hat die überbordende politische Einflussnahme im Sender in ihre Grenzen gewiesen hat und die gebotene Staatsferne des öffentlich-rechtlichen Senders herzustellen versucht", so Schäfer-Gümbel. "Genau dagegen richteten sich Ihre Attacken, Sie verstehen den öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk als Ihre persönliche Spielwiese. Wir wollen aber keine italienischen Verhältnisse. Wir brauchen keinen Silvio Koch."

Freudenberger Bau- und Verkehrsausschuss beschloss auf seiner Sitzung am 4. März 2009 „auf der Grundlage der Stellungnahme der Verwaltung die Geh-, Fahr- und Leitungsrechte über die städtischen Wegeparzellen nicht zu erteilen“. Die Pläne von O2 auf einem privaten Grundstück „so nah wie möglich am Schulzentrum“ mit über 1000 Schülern einen Mobilfunksender zu errichten, trifft auf starke Ablehnung.

Die Chancen der Krise

Artikel von Heinz Steinert vom Januar 2009 beim Links-Netz http://www.links-netz.de/K_texte/K_steinert_chancen.html

Aus dem Text: „…Die Linke hingegen geht sofort in ihre traditionelle Rolle als Arzt am Krankenbett des Kapitalismus und ist gern bereit, Steuergelder in einem Ausmaß (und in einer Sichtbarkeit) zur „Rettung“ des Kapitalismus auszugeben, die man noch vor wenigen Monaten nicht für möglich gehalten hätte. Selbst zu Ford, Chrysler und GM traut man sich eher auf der konservativen Rechten als auf der Linken auch nur zu denken, dass ein Rückgang der Autoproduktion ein Gewinn für die Menschheit wäre. (…) Das Mindeste an linkem Stammtisch könnte daher weniger in der Sorge um Finanzmarkt-Kontrollen und Manager-Gehälter bestehen, als vielmehr im Hinweis auf die Bereiche von Gesellschaft, die dringend der Bearbeitung und daher auch der Investition bedürfen (…) Statt mit Machtillusionen zu phantasieren, wie man dem Kapital welche Restriktionen staatlich aufzwingt, könnte der linke Stammtisch Ideen entwickeln, wie eine parlamentarische Linke erst einmal die Bedingungen für eine emanzipatorische Politik im Staat und in der Gesellschaft herstellen kann. Die erste Voraussetzung wäre, sich dem Zwang zur Schaffung von Lohnarbeitsplätzen über Wirtschaftsförderung zu entziehen…“

Things have certainly changed in the last year or two. Somehow, the part of the economy that is felt in the pocketbooks of average Citizens has gone from super-heated and ever-expanding, to ice-cold and losing ground — at about the same incredible rate. I’m not ignoring the toll all this is taking on most Americans, but I find that interesting, don’t you? Acting in your ‘best interest,’ of course, Congress, the Senate and the latest Messiah decided to ‘borrow’ $1 Trillion dollars that hasn’t even been earned yet. Now there’s a trick. Even better than that, YOU get to be obligated (along with your children and theirs) to ‘pay it back’ to somebody that never loaned it to ‘us’ in the first place...

In January alone, the annual rate of saving in the U.S. was the highest since monthly records began in 1959. That should be a reason to rejoice. Of course, businesses need credit and customers. But there are two ways to get them. One is by bailing out and then nationalizing the banks — and paying a catastrophic price. The other is by letting the financial system purge itself of failed assets and giving consumers a bit of time to replenish their coffers. Few things give a worse name to the free-enterprise system than offloading bank losses onto taxpayers. The way to solve this crisis is to let ‘zombie’ banks proceed to their beyond, allowing those banks that need restructuring to start doing just that while those in a position to fill the space left by failed institutions can jump in quickly. After all, a majority of the almost 9,000 U.S. banks, including regional institutions, did not engage in credit hanky-panky and would love a chance to increase their market share...

Former top Bush aides Karl Rove and Harriet Miers agreed Wednesday to testify before Congress under oath about the firings of U.S. attorneys, a controversy involving allegations of political interference that grew into a constitutional standoff between two branches of government. The Bush White House had fought attempts to force Rove and Miers to testify, and the agreement — steered by aides to President Barack Obama — ended that dispute...

Conyers Cuts a Deal With Rove, Miers

Jason Leopold, Truthout: "The House Judiciary Committee cut a deal with lawyers for George W. Bush that will see his former aides Karl Rove and Harriet Miers testify in Congress's long-running investigation into the firings of nine US attorneys in December 2006. But their testimony, at least for the time being, will not be conducted publicly. Democrats in Congress have been seeking testimony from Miers and Rove about the Bush administration's firing of nine US attorneys in 2006. To stymie the investigation, Bush barred the witnesses from cooperating and asserted a broad claim of executive privilege."

One thing is certain, this isn't a normal recession. In a normal recession aggregate demand declines, economic activity slows, and GDP shrinks. While those things are taking place now, the reasons are quite different. The present slump wasn't brought on by a downturn in the business cycle or a mismatch in supply and demand. It was caused by a meltdown in the credit system's central core.

How Wall Street Paid For Its Own Funeral

By Marina Litvinsky

The 231-page report, "Sold Out: How Wall Street and Washington Betrayed America," shows that the financial sector invested more than 5 billion dollars on purchasing political influence in Washington over the past decade, with as many as 3,000 lobbyists winning deregulation and other policy decisions that led directly to the current financial collapse.

Take the Money and Run

By Ernest Partridge

A bank robber does not gain legal possession of his loot. Neither should today's "robber barons," notwithstanding the fact that the theft was accomplished under the guise of quasi-legality. The loot can be recovered legally, if the public demands it and the Congress responds accordingly, through the enactment and enforcement of appropriate legislation.

Militarization of law enforcement accelerates

Paul Joseph Watson

Prison Planet.com

Wednesday, March 4, 2009

Authorities in Barrie, Ontario are considering a proposal to allow troops to patrol bar areas on weekends in a supposed attempt to prevent rowdiness, another example of the militarization of law enforcement and the public being conditioned to accept martial law.
