House Democrats Want to Strengthen Clean Water Act

US House Democrats want to change a major water pollution law to answer a recent Supreme Court decision and make clear the law applies to all of the country's water.

Medienberichten zufolge sind hohe Justiz-, Polizei- und Politikkreise in Sachsen in ein kriminelles Netzwerk größeren Ausmaßes verstrickt. Den Berichten zufolge machten sich laut sächsischem Verfassungsschutz höchste Leipziger Kreise erpressbar, weil sie Anfang der 1990er Jahre in einem Bordell verkehrt haben sollen, in dem minderjährige Mädchen zur Prostitution gezwungen wurden. Mit dem vom sächsischen Verfassungsschutz offenbar jahrelang ausgespähten kriminellen Netzwerk soll sich nun auch Generalbundesanwältin Monika Harms befassen, damit nicht der Eindruck aufkommt, es würde etwas vertuscht.

Mehrere Nicht-Regierungsorganisationen aus Europa sowie aus Afrika, der Karibik und dem pazifischen Raum (AKP-Staaten) warnen angesichts der Tagung des EU-Ministerrats vor einem "drohenden wirtschaftlichen Ausverkauf Afrikas". Die Organisationen Brot für die Welt, Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst, Oxfam Deutschland, WEED und andere fordern insbesondere die deutsche Ratspräsidentschaft auf, "den derzeitigen Zuschnitt regionaler Handelsabkommen, der so genannten "Economic Partnership Agreements" (EPAs), zugunsten nachhaltiger und gerechter Alternativen zu korrigieren". Ein "durchgesickerter" Entwurf der EPA-Abschlusserklärung des Ministerrates zeige, dass die EU entgegen offizieller Verlautbarungen unverändert auf eine umfassende Marktöffnung der armen Länder setze.

While Congress has been busy this year dealing with issues such as the Iraq war, the US attorney firings controversy and the federal minimum wage, some members have had their attention diverted by legal problems. By our count, 11 members of Congress (and ten former members who departed with the 109th Congress) are currently the subjects of ongoing criminal investigations.

Private conversations with Republicans throughout America reveal doom and gloom about a politically paralyzed presidency and party. The on-the-record observations are almost as bleak. "The country doesn't believe George W. Bush, it doesn't trust him, and with 19 months to go, it's only going to get worse," predicts Ed Rollins, a Republican strategist who ran Ronald Reagan's 1984 presidential campaign.

After rallying in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House, more than 250 antiwar advocates marched through Washington, DC to Capitol Hill. As the demonstrators marched up Independence Avenue, they chanted, "Stop the Funding, Stop the War – Mothers Say, Not One More."

As 33 were arrested, the crowd chanted, "Arrest George Bush" and "Stop the Funding, Stop the Killing."

After rallying in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House more than 250 anti-war advocates marched through Washington, DC to Capitol Hill. When they reached the Cannon House Office Building they formed two circles blocking the street to all traffic. The demonstration was the ‘Mother of a March’ spearheaded by Cindy Sheehan whose son died in Iraq. The march kicked off a ‘Summer of Action’ where anti-war demonstrators will SWARM on Congress from today until June 31 advocating an end to the war. Numerous speakers urged peace voters to put ‘peace before partisanship’ as thus far the Democrats have not lived up to the mandate of the voters who elected them to end the war...

With its usual tin ear for public relations, the Bush administration provided another ‘Kodak moment’ of incompetent belligerence by yet again sending a high-level administration official to use an aircraft carrier as a prop for a hawkish rant. Vice President Dick Cheney did manage to refrain from displaying another ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner during his address to the crew of the John C. Stennis, stationed 150 miles off Iran’s coast. But as Cheney warned Iran against disrupting oil transportation routes or getting nuclear weapons, the speech’s imagery also reminded the American public of President Bush’s previous fiasco on another aircraft carrier. Yet Cheney’s speech may have more adverse implications for U.S. security than Bush’s earlier public relations disaster...

Congress voted this past week to authorize nearly $40 billion for the Department of Homeland Security, but the result will likely continue to be more bureaucracy and less security for Americans. Five years into this new department, Congress still cannot agree on how to handle the mega-bureaucracy it created, which means there has been no effective oversight of the department. While Congress remains in disarray over how to fund and oversee the department, we can only wonder whether we are more vulnerable than we were before Homeland Security was created. I was opposed to the creation of a new Homeland Security department from the beginning. Only in Washington would anyone call the creation of an additional layer of bureaucracy on top of already bloated bureaucracies ’streamlining’...

Whether Paul Wolfowitz remains president of the World Bank or not, the furor over his leadership raises questions about the importance of reforming the policies and structure of an institution born more than 60 years ago, at a time of very different global financial needs. Does the bank still need to make loans to middle-income countries, for instance, given the rivers of investment capital that now flow around the world? Does the tradition of allowing the United States to name the bank’s president make sense any longer? Does the bank even need to continue to exist? ‘The good thing about this crisis is that the US government may realize it has to pay more attention to these international financial institutions,’ says Colin Bradford, a senior fellow for global economics and development at the Brookings Institution. ‘It’s not enough to just put your guy in there’...

One of the points I make in my lectures has to do with the naming of things by what they are or what they are not, 'False-negative names".

NOTE: Always pay close attention when something is named by what it is NOT! This occurs when the namer has something to hide and is engaged in sleight-of-mind, a mental trick, against the public.

Why would a corporation call energy it promotes "nonionizing radiation" when it could call it more accurately "radiofrequency radiation"? Why would a group describe RF absorption levels "nonthermal" when there IS heat deposition, and they could call the levels more correctly "microthermal"? Why would one call weapons "nonlethal" when they were more properly called "direct-energy" or "electromagnetic" weapons?

Here's why: because public relations firms advised the corporations promoting these technologies to do so, in order to convey SAFETY to the public mind, SAFETY that is actually HARM.

When engineers and others read "nonionizing" and other false-negative names, they don't even QUESTION whether the technologies might be harmful! When the suggested mechanism of harm is denied even in the name of a thing, engineers can't even think that there might exist another mechanism of harm.

When you see these false-negative names, always turn it around and call the harmful technologies by their true names!
