Keine Bootcamps in Deutschland

Zu Forderungen der Jungen Union nach "Erziehungscamps" für jugendliche Straftäter erklärt der jugendpolitische Sprecher des Parteivorstandes Sascha Wagener:

Sprache ist verräterisch: Mit ihrer Forderung nach "Erziehungscamps" machen die Konservativen deutlich, worum es ihnen geht. Sie wollen das amerikanische Konzept der Bootcamps auch für Deutschland. Die Junge Union liefert in einer Presseerklärung eine wortgenaue Beschreibung dieser amerikanischen Umerziehungslager. Ein ähnliches Camp gibt es bereits im hessischen Kreis Waldeck-Frankenberg. Hier hat der Staat seine Verantwortung in der Erziehung Jugendlicher an eine private Institution abgetreten, die Jugendliche durch das Brechen ihres Willens und ihres Stolzes zu besseren Menschen umerziehen möchte. Diese privaten Camps sind keine Alternative zum Jugendstrafvollzug. In den amerikanischen Bootcamps gehören seelische Misshandlungen zum Programm. Jugendliche können, das Einverständnis der Eltern vorausgesetzt, mit Gewalt zur Beteiligung an den Trainingsprogrammen gezwungen werden. Die Befürworter gehen davon aus, dass ein Straftäter nach dieser Tortur nicht mehr rückfällig werden will, um diese nie mehr durchmachen zu müssen. Mehrere Dutzend Jugendliche sind in den letzten Jahren in diesen Camps ums Leben gekommen. Ich kann keinen Unterschied zwischen den von der Jungen Union geforderten Erziehungscamps und dem System der Bootcamps erkennen. Ich fordere Angela Merkel als Vorsitzende der CDU auf, den menschenunwürdigen Vorschlägen der Jungen Union und des hessischen Ministerpräsidenten Roland Koch deutlich entgegenzutreten.

Systematic bias in favour of no adverse impacts from GM feed

ISIS Press Release 07/01/08

Letter to Nature Biotechnology: Systematic bias in favour of no adverse impacts from GM feed

I am writing in response to your article defending the ‘new format’ of your Feature on Ermakova’s findings of adverse health and reproductive impacts on rats fed genetically modified (GM) soya, and on the validity of the ‘scientific criticisms’ of her work.

You are still being unfair to Ermakova, especially in allowing the panel of critics in your original Feature2 - all well known for their writings and public appearances if not in declared financial interests to be strongly pro-GM - to have the last word.

You asked for suggestions regarding the format you might use for Features of this kind. The real issue, however, is not the format but the journal’s policy on reviewing. When there is a debate or a controversy about an issue, reviewers must apply the same standards to papers on both sides, and that Chassy et al did not do. They explicitly wrote that Ermakova’s work should be judged by a more rigorous standard because it contradicts earlier work that showed no adverse effects from GM food. Yet the crucial earlier work that they repeatedly cited was indeed, not subjected to same rigorous standard they are demanding for Ermakova’s study; far from it. The same applies to other earlier research purportedly demonstrating that GM food is safe.

It also suggests intelligence officials heeded prior warnings to preserve the videotapes and destroyed the videotapes only after evidence of the agency's covert interrogation practices were revealed publicly in news reports."

Wenig Lohn, wenig Rechte: Rückkehr der Lohnsklaverei in Deutschland

"Jeden Tag eine neue Filiale", so lautet das Motto des Textildiscounters Kik. 2500 Läden gibt es schon, 3000 sollen es künftig werden – der Profit ist offenbar verlockend. Hohe Umsätze, von denen auch die Arbeitnehmer profitieren könnten – doch offenbar ist das Gegenteil der Fall. Martina K., gelernte Einzelhandelskauffrau, arbeitet seit mehreren Jahren als Aushilfskraft bei Kik, ihr Stundenlohn: 5,20 Euro. Damit ist sie sogar eine der "Mehrverdienerinnen", einige Kolleginnen bekommen nur um die 4,50 Euro. Auch Lohnfortzahlung bei Krankheit oder bezahlten Urlaub hat Martina K. nie erhalten. Denn um expandieren zu können, spart der Billiganbieter bei der Belegschaft. Das deutsche Arbeitsrecht wird dabei häufig ignoriert. Die Video der Sendung Panorama vom 03.01.2008 über Lohndumping als Wettbewerbsprinzip. http://daserste.ndr.de/panorama/archiv/2008/t_cid-4491846_mid-4497542_.html

Hauptsponsor des Vereins für Leibesübung (VfL) Bochum wegen Lohnwuchers angeklagt - Ver.di: KiK zahlt sittenwidrige Hungerlöhne

“Der Name KiK steht für ein einzigartiges Konzept, Textilien in guter Qualität zu vergleichbar dauerhaft niedrigen Preisen anzubieten.” So wirbt der VfL Bochum auf seiner Webseite für seinen Hauptsponsor “KiK”. Das ARD-Magazin “Panorama” berichtete gestern unter dem Titel “Wenig Lohn, wenig Rechte - Rückkehr der Lohnsklaverei in Deutschland” über die Praktiken der Firma KiK. Die Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft ver.di hatte bereits im November Strafanzeige wegen Lohnwuchers gegen KiK gestellt. Nach Ansicht von ver.di sind die Löhne des Textildiscounters sittenwidrig: “Sittenwidrige Löhne liegen immer dann vor, so die Rechtssprechung, wenn die ortsüblich Tarifvergütung um mehr als ein Drittel unterschritten wird. Der Tariflohn einer ausgelernten Verkäuferin beläuft sich in Nordrhein-Westfalen auf 12,30 Euro. Nach Abzug eines Drittel müsste er mindestens 8,21 Euro betragen. Damit nicht genug. Bei der weiteren Prüfung stellte sich heraus, dass es bei den KIK-Aushilfen scheinbar der Normalzustand ist, dass sie den gesetzlichen Urlaub von vier Wochen nicht erhalten. Sie werden lediglich unbezahlt von der Arbeit freigestellt.“ Meldung bei Bo-Alternativ vom 04.01.2008 http://www.bo-alternativ.de/2008/01/04/verdi-kik-zahlt-sittenwidrige-hungerloehne/

For many years I labored under the false conclusion that the practice of human bondage had been abolished by the latter decades of the nineteenth century. But, as I grew older and began to pay closer attention to the political climate in the United States, I realized that slavery had not disappeared. It did fade from public view from the latter part of the nineteenth century into the early decades of the twentieth century. However, after the 1930’s we can actually find slavery rising again in society. It is a ‘New Slavery’...

Will global warming generate America’s Fourth Great Awakening?

TCS Daily

We have just ended the season when every environmental group to whom we’ve contributed, the NWF, WS, Sierra Club, and others, sends appeals for more funds. If you have ever contributed to these groups, you’ve no doubt been approached to join the Global Warming Crusade. Will this crusade become America’s Fourth Great Awakening? The First Awakening fostered the American Revolution by providing pre-Revolutionary America with a radical and democratic social and political ideology. The Second applied Christian teaching to politics. Stressing social reform as part of God’s plan, it amplified abolitionist sentiments and helped precipitate the Civil War. The Third Great Awakening of the late 1800s and early 1900s gave rise to the reforms of the ’social gospel’ movement and fostered Progressive Era reforms...

Soldiers returning from war don’t need to exhibit any scars on their bodies to be injured. Many — as many as 65 percent — have witnessed and survived the trauma of explosions and detonations. Those jolts and their aftermath can do a number on them, be it through brain injury or post-traumatic stress disorder. The two afflictions are often linked. The long-term effects of a brain injury can be brutal and debilitating, while PTSD, left undiagnosed and untreated, can rob a person of peace of mind, sleep, the ability to maintain relationships, etc. And this is what our troops are up against after returning from their tour in hell. We can only imagine the shape they must be in when they’re redeployed...

Listen closely to the descriptions of cars given away on The Price Is Right, and you’ll hear “California emissions” listed among the options. This is good news for Golden State contestants who can breathe easier knowing they can drive their new car home to the O.C. because it won’t just meet federal emissions standards but California’s more stringent laws, as well. You see, throughout most of the 44 years since the Clean Air Act was passed, California has exceeded national emissions guidelines, thanks to more than 50 waiver requests granted by the Environmental Protection Agency, but the state’s ability to lead the charge toward cleaner air has now been hampered by the very agency that should be cheering it on...

Save Bialowieza Forest, Europe's Last Primeval Temperate Forest

ACTION ALERT UPDATE

January 6, 2008

TAKE ACTION Demand the Polish government stop exploitation of the ancient Bialowieza forest, preserve the whole complex as a national park, and end permanently extensive logging that threatens Europe's last remnant old-growth northern temperate forests

http://www.ecoearth.info/alerts/send.asp?id=poland

Situated on the Polish/Belarussian border, the Bialowieza Forest is a priceless relic of lowland European forests, a place where the last fragments of primeval temperate old- growth forest on the Central European lowland have survived. It is home to many species extinct elsewhere including the European Bison, the largest terrestrial mammal of Europe; and also contains lynx, wolves and other threatened wildlife and plants. Yet approximately 90% of the forest remains unprotected... For many years environmental NGOs, scientists, concerned citizens in Poland and abroad have asked successive Polish governments to protect the forest, asking them to ban cutting of old growth and for enlargement of the Bialowieza National Park to protect the whole forest complex. Until now there has been little success. After the autumn elections Poland has a new government, so we are trying anew. Please help influence Polish politicians by sending the protest email below. After doing so please note the exciting update on our New York City rainforest timber campaign.
