Learning to Lead

Dahr Jamail, Truthout: "What's in a system? We in the United States have grown acclimatized to a system that first dehumanizes us and then inevitably feeds on our dehumanization, sucking away at our resources, our rights, and our resistance while we scamper frantically around in the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness."

Peter Hartz entwirft Arbeitsmarktkonzept für das Saarland

Der Erfinder der vielfach kritisierten Arbeitsmarktreform "Hartz IV", der frühere VW-Manager Peter Hartz, entwirft nach Presseinformationen ein neues Konzept für den Arbeitsmarkt im Saarland.

Legal Action You Can Take Against Forced Vaccinations

Petition re UK proposed compulsory vaccination

Takes 10 seconds to do...

You may be aware that the government is considering making vaccination compulsory in order to attend UK schools & to claim child benefit. The link below will take you to a Downing Street petition if you want to re cord your opposition to it. This will only take a minute.

My apologies if you've received this before or if you're not a UK national. I think this is so important that I've sent it to my whole address book.

I am concerned that such a measure does not become law not just because the issue relate to vaccination. It also involves access to the education system and the welfare state being dependent on adherence to certain behaviours and beliefs and would therefore set a deplorable precedent.

A Labour MP has recently suggested forcing all children to be vaccinated otherwise they cannot attend school and parents should not receive child benefits. Vaccinations can cause various injuries to children and also manipulate only specific parts of the immune system and not necessarily all the appropriate parts.

People power as mast company makes U-turn

3:09pm Wednesday 26th November 2008

Residents are celebrating after a U-turn by a mobile phone company which has agreed not to site a mast outside a Halesowen pub.

A representative from 02 told a 60-strong meeting that an alternative site had been found after objections to the mast being erected on a grass verge outside the Maypole pub in Bassnage Road.

The meeting at Lutley Community Centre was told the company was now applying for the 15m tall mast to be positioned in the hedgerow at the nearby junction of Rosemary Road and Lansdowne Road.

If the application is accepted by Dudley Council 02 will plant more trees in the hedgerow to further conceal the mast.

Can Government Keep Spending? Most Economists Say Yes

Jack Chang, McClatchy Newspapers: "Since the US economy went into freefall in September, the federal government has announced hundreds of billions of dollars in bailouts and economic stimulus packages in attempts to shore up banks and reignite the economy."

http://www.truthout.org/112608D



Economic Rescue Could Cost $8.5 Trillion

Jim Puzzanghera, The Los Angeles Times: "With its decision last week to pump an additional $1 trillion into the financial crisis, the government eliminated any doubt that the nation is on a wartime footing in the battle to shore up the economy. The strategy now -- and in the coming Obama administration -- is essentially the win-at-any-cost approach previously adopted only to wage a major war. And that means no hesitation in pledging to spend previously almost unimaginable sums of money and running up federal budget deficits on a scale not seen since World War II."

As Mortgages Went Bad, New Century Executives Cashed Out

William Heisel, The Los Angeles Times: "The subprime lending industry was starting to buckle under the weight of bad loans in November 2006, when executives at Irvine-based New Century Financial Corp. held a conference call to release their latest earnings. Loan volume was down and defaults were up, the earnings report showed, and in recent weeks at least five stock analysts had downgraded the company's shares. Moreover, four executives had sold nearly $20 million in stock in the last four months, six times as much as they had sold over the previous 12 months. That led one analyst to ask whether there was anything investors should know."

Concerns at new mobile phone mast

Published Date: 26 November 2008

By Laura Crothers

A worried mother has voiced her fears about a planned Scarborough mobile phone mast which she claims could pose a health risk.

Mother-of-three Jennifer Adams, 45, raised her concerns after Scarborough Council gave planning permission for a 50ft Vodafone mast at the junction of Stepney Road and Stepney Drive.

Mrs Adams, of Stepney Road, fears that the transmissions given off by the mast may not only prove dangerous to her family but also students at the nearby Scarborough Sixth Form College and the residents of Combe Hay House, the George Edward Smart care home for the elderly.

Paulson wants consumers to borrow more

Correct me if I am wrong, but did I just hear that Paulson wants consumers to take on more debt in order to solve this economical crisis?!?!?!? At a recent press conference, Treasury Paulson said, ‘This lack of affordable consumer credit undermines consumer spending and, as a result, weakens our economy.’ Are you serious, Mr. Paulson?

Steady as she sinks

National Review
by the editors

11/25/08

By speaking of a two-year recovery plan, President-Elect Barack Obama has made it clear that the gathering economic gloom is going to continue gathering for some time. The stretching of time horizons is politically astute: If the economy picks up ahead of schedule, he will have beaten expectations; if not, he will have done what he can to avoid blame. … the policies that command Democratic attention right now are orthodox Keynesian ones: have the government put money into the economy, and give it to those recipients who are most likely to spend it. Which neatly fits Democratic proclivities: They are happy to give federal money to lower-income workers and state and local governments. We are less enthusiastic...

The Bailout, the Media, and the War Party

AntiWar.Com
by Justin Raimondo

11/26/08

So here we have the intersection of two very dangerous phenomena, which, in combination, could prove deadly to our democracy and subversive in a way no foreign conspiracy ever could be. All by itself, a love-struck media — which has been in the tank for Obama since the early primaries — wouldn’t be so bad. After all, any half-intelligent Epsilon-Minus Semi-Moron can see through the bias, which is often unapologetic, as in Matthews’ case. However, add to this the breaching of the wall between the government and the corporate parents of major media outlets, and you’re entering some very dangerous territory. With the government in control of the commanding heights of the American economy — the financial sector, which, like GE, has its tentacles wrapped around the communications industry — the difference between private and state-controlled media is near abolition. The boundary between media and government has always been rather blurred, at least socially, and now the connection is being cemented with plenty of cash...

Colossal Financial Collapse

The Truth behind the Citigroup Bank "Nationalization"

By F. William Engdahl

On Friday November 21, the world came within a hair's breadth of the most colossal financial collapse in history according to bankers on the inside of events with whom we have contact. The trigger was the bank which only two years ago was America's largest, Citigroup. The size of the US Government de facto nationalization of the $2 trillion banking institution is an indication of shocks yet to come in other major US and perhaps European banks thought to be 'too big to fail.'

Judging detainees on the facts

Boston Globe
by Sabin Willett

11/30/08

Earlier this month, US District Judge Richard Leon ruled in the case of six Bosnians held at Guantanamo Bay. One is Lakhdar Boumediene, the lead petitioner in last summer’s Supreme Court decision restoring the rights of Guantanamo detainees to a habeas corpus hearing. So Judge Leon gave him that hearing, and Boumediene won. The judge ruled that he is not an enemy combatant. Boumediene himself was not there. He and the other Bosnians were listening at Guantanamo. When the hearing was over, the MPs switched off the monitor. Then they took Boumediene back to his isolation cell in the solitary confinement prison at Guantanamo’s Camp 6, where he remains today...
