Debatte Spekulanten: Die Staatsheuschrecken

„Das Signal der EU an die Spekulanten lautet: Wir spielen mit, wenn auch gegen euch! Das ist ein Fehler. Das Spiel an sich muss beendet werden. Die einschlägig bekannten Banken wie Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank und viele Hedgefonds (kurz: die "Finanzalchemisten") sind seit langem groß im Geschäft mit Credit Default Swaps (CDS). Dabei garantiert eine Partei A gegen eine Prämie einer Partei B die Einbringlichkeit einer Forderung gegenüber einer Partei C. Partei B muss dafür keinesfalls selbst eine Forderung gegen C haben, sie wettet einfach, dass C pleitegeht - man schließt gewissermaßen eine Feuerversicherung auf das Haus des Nachbarn ab und kassiert die Versicherungssumme, wenn es abbrennt ("naked CDS"). Hat man einen CDS erworben, so steigt sein Wert umso mehr, je schlechter es dem Schuldner geht. Also kann man damit profitabel handeln, Unfallrisiko inkludiert…“ Artikel von Stephan Schulmeister in der taz vom 16.05.2010 http://www.taz.de/1/debatte/kommentar/artikel/1/die-staatsheuschrecken/


Zahlen sollen die Anderen! Vertreter der Finanzindustrie und unabhängige Experten diskutieren vor dem Finanzausschuss über Bankenabgabe und Finanztransaktionssteuer

„Wer zahlt für die Finanzkrise? Vor dem Finanzausschuss sind sich Vertreter von Banken, Versicherungen und Investmentmanager vor allem in einem einig: möglichst nicht sie selbst. NGOs und Gewerkschaften hingegen machen sich für eine Finanztransaktionssteuer stark – die jedoch ist trotz einstmaliger Zustimmung der Kanzlerin nicht in den Eckpunkten der Bundesregierung enthalten. Mittlerweile lehnt Merkel die Finanztransaktionssteuer ab…“ Artikel von Silvio Duwe in telepolis vom

»Spekulanten sind vom Prinzip her asozial«

Die Regierungsbeschlüsse zur Finanzmarktkontrolle sind ohne praktischen Wert. Interview von Ralf Wurzbacher mit Rudolf Hickel in junge Welt vom 20.05.2010 http://www.jungewelt.de/2010/05-20/043.php

Aus dem Text: „… Ich würde sagen, alles nur Taktik, zumindest solange noch gar nichts entschieden ist und dem Volk nur eine Beruhigungspille verabreicht wird. Herausnehmen will ich dabei allerdings das Verbot ungedeckter Leerverkäufe, das hat mich wirklich positiv überrascht. Man darf sich nicht der vielfach gehegten Illusion hingeben, daß eine Finanztransaktionssteuer das Allheilmittel wäre. So eine Abgabe macht nur Sinn, wenn zugleich die schlimmsten Spekulationsgeschäfte verboten oder mindestens eingeschränkt werden. Es wäre blanker Zynismus, die schäbigsten Instrumente wie etwa Kreditversicherungen zuzulassen, bloß um als Staat daran mitzuverdienen…“


Mit Gewalt gegen Hunger

Neben der Wirtschafts- und Finanzkrise sehen sich die Herrschaftseliten mit der weitaus bedrohlicheren Ernährungskrise konfrontiert. Artikel von Peter Clausing aus junge Welt vom 18.05.2010 bei IMI http://www.imi-online.de/2010.php?id=2120

Aus dem Text: „…Angesichts der Beibehaltung der gravierenden Verteilungsungerechtigkeiten und der fehlenden Bereitschaft zu einer globale Trendwende in Richtung sozial und ökologisch verträglicher Wirtschaft ist zu erwarten, daß sich das Potential von Hungerrevolten in den Ballungsräumen des Südens verstärken wird. Parallel dazu läßt sich eine Zunahme von Unruhen in den Ländern West- und Osteuropas prognostizieren bzw. aktuell beobachten, die »eine tiefe Verzweiflung über die ökonomischen Perspektiven, die selbst für junge Leute mit guter Ausbildung« und »eine scharfe Kritik am starren Klassensystem und an der Korruption der politischen Klasse« reflektieren. Die herrschenden Eliten werden auch künftig darauf setzen, Unruhen mit »Sicherheitspolitik« unter Kontrolle zu bringen, wobei sich die globale Sicherheitspolitik, ähnlich wie die Landwirtschafts- und Klimapolitik in einer Sackgasse befindet…“

From safe republic to unsafe empire

Campaign For Liberty
by Bruce Fein

05/19/10

It is the best of times for the American Empire. The United States bestrides the planet as an unrivalled colossus. Its annual military budget exceeds $650 billion. That staggering sum is greater than the annual military expenditures of the next 25 countries combined. The defense spending of Russia, the superpower opponent of the United States during the Cold War, is now one-twelfth of the Pentagon’s...

Shaping the story on Iran

AntiWar.Com
by Philip Giraldi

05/20/10

There have been recent reports that Iran has enabled the travel of al-Qaeda leaders to Afghanistan and Pakistan where they will be able to confront and kill American soldiers. If you think you have heard the story before, you have, in another context. In the earlier rendition it was Saddam Hussein who was hand-in-glove with al-Qaeda, helping the group in its nefarious planning to attack the United States and kill Americans. Saddam, who was in reality only a threat to his own people, was on the receiving end of a barrage of fabricated information claiming that he was secretly developing weapons of mass destruction and clandestinely dealing with the terrorists who were responsible for 9/11. Or so the story goes. And now it is Iran’s turn and the story and the storytellers are exactly the same...

Iran Sanctions 'Holding Up Nuclear Treaty Negotiations'

By David Usborne in New York

Egypt, backed by most of its Arab neighbours, is threatening to hold the so-called review conference in New York hostage to its demand that firm steps be taken towards establishing a nuclear-free zone for the Middle East, as promised in a special resolution at the end of the 1995 review.

Killing wanted militants is simply "easier" than capturing them, said an official, who like most interviewed for this story support the stepped-up program and asked not to be identified. Another official added: "It is increasingly the preferred option."

Droning on and on

CounterPunch
by Joanne Mariner

05/19/10

I’m struck by contrasting public views on the US drone warfare program. In the United States, where the public has long been aware of the program, drone strikes have received increased critical attention in recent months because of the disclosure that an American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki, has been targeted for attack. Al-Awlaki, a radical cleric now based in Yemen, is alleged to have helped al-Qaeda organize terrorist plots against the US...

A New Oil Rush Endangers the Gulf of Mexico and the Planet

Michael T. Klare, TomDispatch: "Yes, the oil spewing up from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico in staggering quantities could prove one of the great ecological disasters of human history. Think of it, though, as just the prelude to the Age of Tough Oil, a time of ever increasing reliance on problematic, hard-to-reach energy sources. Make no mistake: we're entering the danger zone. And brace yourself, the fate of the planet could be at stake."

Renee Schoof and Lauren French, McClatchy Newspapers: "The latest glimpse of video footage of the oil spill deep under the Gulf of Mexico indicates that around 95,000 barrels, or 4 million gallons, a day of crude oil may be spewing from the leaking wellhead, 19 times the previous estimate, an engineering professor told Congress Wednesday."

Law & Order: Corporate Crime Unit

By Amy Goodman

Twenty-nine miners died in the Upper Big Branch mine explosion. Eleven workers died on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, which is owned by Transocean, working under contract for BP. There are state laws that govern manslaughter as well, and special language given for maritime deaths. So why aren't the executives of these companies behind bars?

Coast Guard: Despite BP efforts, Gulf oil spill is getting worse

The Coast Guard commandant, Adm. Thad Allen, said that despite the siphoning, the spilled oil is spreading and now stretches from western Louisiana to Florida's Key West. The extent of the spill was straining even the substantial resources deployed for one of the worst ecological disasters in recent history, he said.

BP told feds it could handle oil spill 60 times larger than Deepwater Horizon

In its 2009 exploration plan for the Deepwater Horizon well, BP PLC states that the company could handle a spill involving as much as 12.6 million gallons of oil per day, a number 60 times higher than its current estimate of the ongoing Gulf disaster.
