The Christian Science Monitor: "The recession is changing the makeup of homelessness in America to include more families and more people in suburbs and rural areas. Private and public services for the homeless – concentrated on individuals and in urban areas – must now quickly adjust."

Potsdam. Im Bundesland Brandenburg ist die Wirtschafts- und Finanzkrise am Arbeitsmarkt deutlich zu spüren. Etwa ein Viertel der gerade arbeitslos gewordenen Bürger rutscht sofort in die sog. Hartz IV Falle, wie Christian Görke, der arbeitsmarktpolitische Sprecher der Fraktion "Die Linke" im Brandenburger Landtag, zu berichten weiß.

DGB Studie: Für viele Leiharbeiter bedeutet der Verlust des Arbeitsplatzes das direkte Abrutschen in den Hartz IV Bezug

Laut einer aktuellen DGB Studie rutschen viele Zeitarbeitnehmer nach dem Jobverlust direkt in den Arbeitslosengeld II (Hartz IV) Bezug. Rund 405.000 Menschen sind in NRW bereits im 1. Halbjahr 2009 aus einer Berufstätigkeit heraus arbeitslos geworden. Fast 30 Prozent davon waren nach Berechnungen des Deutschen Gewerkschaftsbundes (DGB) direkt auf Hartz IV angewiesen, weil sie u.a. bei einer Leiharbeitirma beschäftigt waren.

Hartz IV und der Tod: Mahnwache in Troisdorf

Vor einem Jahr wählte ein Mitstreiter des Erwerbslosenforum Wombel den Freitod. Wenngleich Hartz IV nicht ausschließlich für seinen, selbst gewählten Tod verantwortlich ist, so waren es die Sanktionspraktiken bis auf Null, der berühmte Tropfen, der das Fass überlaufen ließ. Hartz IV interessiert sich nicht dafür, was aus den so würdelos gemachten Menschen wird. Der Tod scheint billigend in Kauf genommen zu werden, um „Fälle“ zu den Akten legen zu können. Die Mahnwache findet am 27. Juli statt.

Thom Hartmann, OpEdNews.com: "A very small niche of America's uber-wealthy have pulled off what may well be the biggest con job in the history of our republic, and they did it in a startlingly brief 30 or so years. True, they spent over three billion dollars to make it happen, but the reward to them was in the hundreds of billions - and will continue to be."

The Conservative Counter-Attack in Latin America

By MIGUEL TINKER SALAS

Coup leaders in Honduras and their allies continue to play for time. Washington's continuing vacillation is allowing them to exhaust this option, but so are right-wing governments in Colombia, Mexico, Panama and Peru. After all, this coup is not just about Honduras but also about left success in Latin America, of which Honduras was the weakest link.

1-Percenters Launch Attack On Health Care

By David Sirota

Here's a truism: The wealthiest 1 percent have never had it so good. According to government figures, 1-percenters' share of America's total income is the highest it has been since 1929, and their tax rates are the lowest they've faced in two decades. Through bonuses, many 1-percenters will profit from the $23 trillion in bailout largesse the Treasury Department now says could be headed to financial firms.

Keeping Track of the Empire's Crimes

By William Blum

We already know that the United States has been assassinating non-believers, or suspected non-believers, with regularity, and impunity, in recent years, using unmanned planes (drones) firing missiles, in Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Somalia, if not elsewhere. - These murders apparently don't qualify as "assassinations", for somehow killing "terrorists" from 2000 feet is morally and legally superior to doing so from two feet away.
