Christian leadership to change the world

For God's Sake

Paul Krugman writes: "Regent University, founded by the televangelist Pat Robertson to provide 'Christian leadership to change the world,' boasts that it has 150 graduates working in the Bush administration. Unfortunately for the image of the school, where Mr. Robertson is chancellor and president, the most famous of those graduates is Monica Goodling, a product of the university's law school. She's the former top aide to Alberto Gonzales who appears central to the scandal of the fired US attorneys, and has declared that she will take the Fifth rather than testify to Congress on the matter."

Senate Dems Warn Gonzales: We Want Real Answers

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday authorized subpoenas for documents from the White House and the Department of Justice relating to the firing of eight US attorneys last year. Senate Democrats threatened to issue the subpoenas if Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is not forthcoming in his Tuesday testimony before the committee.

Pelosi: "The President Is Not King"

On the "Today Show," Nancy Pelosi sat down with Campbell Brown to discuss her trip to Syria as well as the stand-off between the White House and Congress over war-funding. Pelosi said: "The president is not king, the president is the president of the United States. America is a democracy. We have to make decisions based on our judgment. Thus far, the president's judgment hasn't been good in terms of, say, for example, the war on Iraq. So with all due respect to the president and the role he has, we want respect for the role we have. And members of Congress have gone on fact-finding trips since our country began. We're not going to stop because the president wants to avoid the facts and doesn't want to engage in dialogue."

Bush Expands Influence Over Regulatory Agencies

The Bush administration's campaign for regulatory reform has now taken aim at guidance documents, with messages from federal agencies that tell businesses how to implement regulations. In Bush's latest approach toward weakening environmental and public-health regulations, the executive order creates opportunities for the White House Office of Management and Budget to block regulations and strip protections for children's health.

Claims Detail Grim Civilian Toll

Newly released documents have made public hundreds of claims for damages by Iraqi civilians requesting compensations for the death and injury of family members as a result of operations by Coalition Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The ACLU, which filed the Freedom of Information Act request for the documents, points out that the Defense Department has instituted numerous policies to limit the dissemination of information about casualties. The newly released documents show that the families of more than 500 Iraqi civilians killed by U.S. soldiers have asked for compensation for their dead relatives but only a third have been granted it.

“Toughness” of imperial presidency not due our respect

Tennessean
by Lewright B. Sikes

04/12/07

In a Tennessee Voices piece Tuesday (You don’t have to like Bush, but you’ve got to respect his toughness), John Rebrovick writes that he is ‘thankful’ that George W. Bush is ‘president for one overriding reason: He has recognized and engaged the enemy, and despite all the handwringers, bitter opposition and the low favorability ratings, he has held that line in the sand which his father drew nearly 20 years ago.’ … As a retired historian, I cannot let these remarks stand without seriously challenging them in the name of one of the 20th-century leaders of my profession, George Santayana, who said: ‘Those who do not know the past are doomed to repeat it’...

Newsweek hides global warming denier’s Big Oil ties

AlterNet
by Joshua Holland

04/12/07

So Newsweek is running an opinion piece about global warming titled: ‘Why So Gloomy?’ The piece is authored by Richard Lindzen, a well-known meteorologist, and his thesis about the potential melt-down of our climate can be boiled down to this: Don’t worry, be happy! At the bottom of the article, is this brief biographical sketch of the author: Lindzen is the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research has always been funded exclusively by the U.S. government. He receives no funding from any energy companies. Sounds like he’s on the up-and-up, no? After all, the guy’s not one of those scientists who denies global warming and then cashes nice checks from a bunch of big energy firms, right? Maybe those wing-nuts are right when they deny that there’s a scientific consensus about human activities contributing to global warming. Hmmm. Oh, but wait. That name … Lindzen … sure does sound familiar...

The new Watergate?

CounterPunch
by Marjorie Cohn

04/12/07

The Bush administration is shocked, shocked, that the firing of a few U.S. attorneys has caused such a stir in Washington. After all, the Oval Office says, the President can choose whomever he wants to prosecute federal cases. But the Supreme Court declared in Berger v. United States that a prosecutor’s job is to see that justice is done, not to politicize justice. The mass ouster of the top prosecutors had more to do with keeping a grip on power — by manipulating voting rights — than with doing justice. And like the Watergate scandal, the evidence points to a cover-up...

McCain, the militarist

AntiWar.Com
by Justin Raimondo

04/13/07

McCain poses as a hard-headed realist, who wants ‘a strategy that deals with how things really are in Iraq,’ but he underestimates the precariousness of the U.S. position — a miscalculation underscored by the attack on the Iraqi parliament in the supposedly secure precincts of U.S. power, the Green Zone. When the history of this war is written, this breach in the walls of the American sanctum sanctorum will be seen as the turning point, the moment when the outcome — a defeat for the U.S. — became readily apparent for all with eyes to see. Imagine, if you will, how the Iraqis see this signal event — an explosion that felled not only some of their elected representatives, but also killed the myth of American power — and it is clear why the war is lost...

CBS fires Imus

Houston Chronicle

04/13/07

The chief of CBS Corp. said the furor over Don Imus’ racist remarks had escalated beyond mere disgust with the talk show host. But it was Imus who ultimately paid the price. CBS abruptly fired Imus on Thursday from the radio show that he has hosted for nearly 30 years, a day after MSNBC said it would no longer televise it. Imus’ description of the Rutgers women’s basketball team as ‘nappy-headed hos’ set off a national debate about taste and tolerance. … For Imus’ critics, his recent remarks were the latest in a line of objectionable statements by the ringmaster of a show that mixed high-minded talk about politics and culture with crude, locker-room humor. Imus apologized, and tried to explain himself before the Rev. Al Sharpton’s radio audience, appearing alternately contrite and combative. But many of his advertisers bailed in disgust, particularly after the Rutgers women spoke of their hurt... [editor’s note: Personally, I suspect that things are working out just the way Imus planned, and that he’ll quickly pick up a more lucrative deal from satellite radio than he was getting from CBS - TLK]

Imus’s last outrage?

Boston Globe
by Joan Vennochi

04/12/07

Money talks, and in the case of Don Imus, it is saying: ‘You’re history.’ Prominent advertisers are distancing themselves from the legendary broadcaster. Staples, the office supply chain, asked MSNBC to remove its advertising from the television simulcast of Imus’s radio program. Procter & Gamble withdrew all its advertising from MSNBC’s daytime schedule. American Express Co. and General Motors Corp. also pulled advertisements from the show, which is broadcast on CBS Radio and MSNBC television. The simulcast was later canceled. These sponsors understood what Imus’s star-powered stable of pundits and politicos did not: When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. They showed more courage than anyone in the Imus crowd. But look what it took for Imus to finally shock them...

Kein Schritt weiter nach "1984"

#Die Linkspartei.PDS: Pressemitteilungen

13. April 2007

Zu den Vorschlägen von Bundesinnenministers Schäuble, der Polizei automatisierten Zugriff auf digitalisierte Passbilder und Fingerabdrücke zu ermöglichen und den verstärkten Unterstützungsrufen aus der Union erklärt die stellvertretende Vorsitzende der Linkspartei.PDS, Katina Schubert:

Geht es nach Bundesinnenminister Wolfgang Schäuble, werden die Bundesbürgerinnen und Bundesbürger unter Generalverdacht stehende, gläserne Menschen, deren Daten allzeit verfügbar und verdachtsunabhängig den staatlichen Behörden zugänglich sind. Der, von ihm geforderte, Vollzugriff der Polizei auf Passbilder und Fingerabdrücke stellt einen weiteren großer Schritt in Richtung Überwachungsstaat dar. Nach dem Schüren einer diffusen Terrorangst, nach Videoüberwachung, gewünschtem Bundeswehreinsatz im Inneren und Online-Durchsuchungen höhlt Minister Schäuble die Bürgerrechte weiter Stück für Stück aus. Der Beifall aus den eigenen Reihen ist ihm sicher. Die Bürgerrechte sind verfassungsmäßig geschützt - noch. Ein weiteres Untergraben des Rechts auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung muss unter allen Umständen verhindert werden. Die bürgerlichen Freiheitsrechte sind für die Linke ein hohes Gut. Wir teilen die Bedenken des Bundesdatenschutzbeauftragten Peter Schaar ausdrücklich. Eine Bewegung in Richtung 1984 wird es mit der Linken nicht geben.

The World Bank president, Paul Wolfowitz, yesterday said he made ‘a mistake for which I am sorry’ over his handling of the promotion and pay increase for his girlfriend, Shaha Riza. ‘I proposed to the board that they establish some mechanism to judge whether the agreement reached was a reasonable outcome,’ Mr Wolfowitz said in a statement handed out before a news conference ahead of meetings of finance ministers in Washington this weekend. ‘I will accept any remedies they propose,’ he added. … The controversy erupted last week when the bank’s staff association questioned the promotion and pay increase for Ms Riza, prompting an investigation by the bank’s board of member countries. Mr Wolfowitz said he admitted his relationship with Ms Riza to the board when he joined the bank and took the advice of the board’s ethics committee to promote and relocate her...

Farmer forced to sleep in his jeep

A farmer was forced to sleep in his jeep a mile from his own farmhouse following the installation of a phone mast on his land.

John Ryan of Cashel told the Kilkenny Advertiser on Monday that "to allow a phone mast to be installed on my land back in 2003 was the worst decision of my life, as my health has been badly effected since. For the past few years there has been awful pressure in my head and tightening in my chest which only began to happen after the mast had been installed on my farm. In my opinion these masts should only be installed far away from houses and farm dwellings."

Mr Ryan also said that his herd of cows have also been effected following the installation of the mast. "They are continually agitated and in 2004 we had four deformed calves born on the farm, which was unheard of before. We have also had situations of cows coming in calf on more than one occasion, which is completely unnatural."

Mr Ryan also revealed that he was hospitalised during 2004 when he was told that the rhythm of his heart was not correct. "The doctors told me that the mast was effecting my health, and that it should be turned off. During that particular time I was forced to sleep away from home in my jeep because I just could not sleep in my own bed. It was a terrible time."

John Ryan also said that "things could improve this coming August as the mast contract will be up then and it may be removed. We won't be in favour of it staying anyway, so hopefully life will return to what it was a few years ago."

On the subject of phone masts Mary White, the Deputy Leader of the Green Party who will be contesting the general election in the Carlow-Kilkenny constituency in a few weeks time said that Mr Ryan whom she has met on a couple of occasions "has suffered terribly on a personal level, and it is quite obvious that some people are very sensitive to the presence of phone masts."

Mary White told the Kilkenny Advertiser that "since the mobile companies are making millions they should be investing in fibre optic cables which must be a priority to elimimate masts. Another alternative should be the use of satellites, because the health of the general population must be protected as far as possible."

Just recently, an expert group commissioned by the Government said that there is no evidence of health effects from mobile phone masts. Its 'Health Effects of Electromagnetic Fields' report found no health hazard from mobile phones, phone masts, or power lines. The report added that the chance of any harm from electronicmagnetic sources was very small according to present knowledge.
