Michael Ettlinger and David Madland, The Center for American Progress: "With 605,000 jobs lost so far this year and an unemployment rate topping 6 percent, the U.S. economy-and especially its labor market-needs another shot in the arm. The economic stimulus package passed in February gave the economy a helpful prod and staved off an economic contraction over the summer. The Treasury Department and Federal Reserve are intervening in financial markets on a massive scale to hold off a complete collapse wrought by their own and other agencies' incompetent supervision of Wall Street business practices. But other stimulus measures are needed as well."

Raw Story

09/17/08

The Bush administration’s practice of relying on classified legal ‘opinions’ from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Council to reinterpret laws to mean whatever the president needs them to mean has produced such gems as ‘extraordinary rendition’ and ‘enhanced interrogation.’ With George W. Bush just a few short months from returning to his Texas ranch full time, two Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would prevent the White House’s next occupant from engaging in similar efforts to rewrite the law...

Washington’s false logic of torture

CounterPunch
by Ron Jacobs

09/18/08

Logic is a process whereby one makes an argument based on a premise. If the premise is false, the process of logic can still prove it, albeit possibly not as easily or convincingly as a true premise. Law follows the process of logic in deciding human guilt or innocence. However, law has fewer false premises since most laws and their application are based on previous experiences with said law. As Michael Ratner of the Center for Constitutional Rights makes clear in his book The Trial of Donald Rumsfeld, the legal rationalization for the US torture of its prisoners is based on a false premise...

With the government now having spent over $800 billion in less than a year shoring up tottering financial companies that had become little more than casinos (and rigged ones at that), America is looking increasingly like China, a country where the state has been gradually getting out of the business of directly owning companies.

The Meaning of the Collapse of Lehman Brothers

By Sam Marcy

The following article, written by Workers World Party chairperson Sam Marcy in the April 26, 1984, issue, holds tremendous lessons today as a growing number of Wall Street firms are collapsing with no end in sight. The root cause of the Lehman Brothers' crisis 24 years ago was attributed to its merger with Shearson/American Express.

No Bull

On Ethics, Deregulation and Financial Chaos

By William A. Cohn

US government policy has encouraged recklessness - most recently by taking extraordinary measures to privatize gains while socializing losses. As part of the agenda of its so-called ownership society (excepting ownership of responsibility by powerful bankers and insurers who fail) the govt. even sought to privatize public obligations - recall the Bush proposal to privatize social security. So why not play fast and loose if the rules are heads I win tails you lose?

You've Been "Shafted" (Again)

By Larry Dorshkind

The ultimate tax obligation of your family figure is humongous? Just to give you a little sense of the scale, though, the present $9.5 trillion National Debt works out to be $38,000 per person (based on 250,000 Americans who can be expected to pay taxes). Therefore, for your 6-member family unit, your obligation for the current National Debt is $228,000.

The MSM Jumps on the Economic Bandwagon

By Kathy Sanborn

So the US economy is on the brink? Yawn. Tell me something I didn't know at least two years ago. Now the mainstream media have been given the green light to announce, bold as you please, that we are in for some pretty tough times, but Internet news and blog readers have known about our faltering financial system for a long, long time. Now, in the mainstream press, it has become popular to state the obvious: the country is broke.

Senate Passes $612 bln Defense Spending Bill

By Jim Wolf

The U.S. Senate on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a $612.5 billion defense spending bill for fiscal 2009, including $70 billion for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. As passed on an 88-8 vote, the measure would authorize $103.9 billion for Pentagon procurement, $1.2 billion more than President George W. Bush's request. Overall, Bush had asked for $611.1 billion for national defense.

By Mike Whitney

If Paulson is not removed and his rescue plan scrapped altogether; the dollar will lose its position as the world's reserve currency and the US government will face a historic funding crisis as foreign sources of capital dry up. That will thrust the country into a hyper-inflationary depression.

Palin’s husband refuses to testify in probe

Arizona Republic

09/18/08

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s husband has refused to testify in the investigation of his wife’s alleged abuse of power, and key lawmakers said Thursday that uncooperative witnesses are effectively sidetracking the probe until after Election Day. Todd Palin, who participates in state business in person or by e-mail, was among 13 people subpoenaed by the Alaska Legislature. Palin’s lawyer sent a letter to the lead investigator saying Palin objected to the probe and would not appear to testify on Friday...

Palin Can Launch Us Back in Time

Janis L. Karpinski, Truthout: "Hmmmmm. My intuition is kicking into high gear on the nomination of Sarah Palin as vice president on the Republican ticket. Hmmmmm. It is haunting me. There is something sneaky behind her and me thinks it is the devious orchestration of Karl Rove. Months of criticism for Barack Obama's allegedly short supply of expertise, then McCain selects a true novice as a partner on his ticket. Does this make any sense at all?"

In Aßling findet eine sehr interessante Veranstaltung statt. Es wäre schön, würden viele daran teilnehmen, vor allem Bürgermeister und Gemeinderäte. Bisher dachten die Mobilfunkbetreiber freie Hand zu haben, wohin sie ihre Sender stellten. Laut neuen Urteilen ist dies nicht so. Wie eine Gemeinde Einfluss auf die Standortauswahl ausüben kann, erfahren wir auf der angekündigten Veranstaltung. Mit der Bitte um Weiterleitung.

Pressemitteilung

Mobilfunk – Gemeinde Aßling setzt deutliches Signal

Auf Initiative und unter Vorbereitung des Vereins „Mobilfunk mit Grenzen e.V." veranstaltet die Gemeinde Aßling unter dem Motto „Mobilfunkplanung für Gemeinden: Betrachtungen – Konzepte – Lösungen“ am Donnerstag, den 09.10.2008, 19 Uhr 30, im Dorfgemeinschaftshaus in Lorenzenberg/Aßling, Eichhofener Straße 22, einen Informationsabend für Kommunalpolitiker und interessierte Bürger mit anschliessender Diskussion.

Ziel dieses Abends ist es, am Beispiel des „Aßlinger Weges“ Möglichkeiten für eine konsens- und zukunftsfähige Mobilfunkplanung aufzuzeigen. Der Verein hofft, dass der von manchen Kommunalpolitikern immer wieder vorgebrachte Einwand: :„Da kann man ja sowieso nichts machen“ durch diese Veranstaltung entkräftet wird. Eine Reihe von jüngeren Urteilen ermöglicht es den Gemeinden nämlich, neben der Berücksichtigung der Belange des Orts- und Landschaftsbildes endlich auch gesundheitliche Vorsorgeplanung zu betreiben und Standorte von Mobilfunkanlagen so auszuwählen, dass Wohngebiete geringer belastet werden, als dies nach den derzeit noch geltenden Grenzwerten der 26. Bundesimmissionsschutzverordnung (BlmSchV) zulässig wäre. An 25 Gemeinden der Landkreise Ebersberg und Rosenheim sind von der Gemeinde Aßling bereits Einladungen verschickt worden und der Verein freut sich, dass die Gemeinde Aßling mit der Übernahme der Schirmherrschaft für diese Veranstaltung ein deutliches Signal setzt.

Dazu konnten wir drei Referenten gewinnen, die die komplette Bandbreite der notwendigen Erwägungen bei der Mobilfunkplanung thematisch behandeln:

Dr. med. univ. Gerd Oberfeld, Salzburg
(Vorkämpfer für den "Salzburger Vorsorgewert")

Dipl.-Ing. Hans Ulrich-Raithel, Umweltinstitut München (Technischer Berater der Gemeinde bei der Standortplanung)

Rechtsanwalt Frank Sommer, München
(Rechtsbeistand der Gemeinde Aßling)

Die Moderation übernimmt Werner Lampl, 1. Bürgermeister der Gemeinde Aßling.
