Did you know that Congress is about to approve a bill blocking your social networking, blogging or chat room site?

This legislation is called the "Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA)", but the name of the bill is misleading. If you take a close look at DOPA, you'll find that this legislation actually limits your rights to access and express yourself on the Internet instead of "deleting online predators". But before this legislation becomes law, it needs to get approved by the Senate and, ultimately, signed by President George W. Bush. The HR5319 bill would even ban websites that are used for positive, professional and social experiences.

HR5319 will censor the communication of our generation and tell us who we can talk to, when and how. Tell Congress that social networking is a movement that our generation has built and is something that we are going to fight for.

Forget no-fly lists. If Uncle Sam gets its way, beginning on Jan. 14,
2007, we'll all be on no-fly lists, unless the government gives us permission to leave-or re-enter-the United States.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (HSA) has proposed that all airlines, cruise lines-even fishing boats-be required to obtain clearance for each passenger they propose taking into or out of the United States.

It doesn't matter if you have a U.S. passport-a "travel document" that now, absent a court order to the contrary, gives you a virtually unqualified right to enter or leave the United States, any time you want. When the DHS system comes into effect next January, if the agency says "no" to a clearance request, or doesn't answer the request at all, you won't be permitted to enter-or leave-the United States.

Consider what might happen if you're a U.S. passport holder on assignment in a country like Saudi Arabia. Your visa is about to expire, so you board your flight back to the United States. But wait! You can't get on, because you don't have permission from the HSA. Saudi immigration officials are on hand to escort you to a squalid detention center, where you and others who are now effectively "stateless persons" are detained, potentially indefinitely, until their immigration status is sorted out.

Why might the HSA deny you permission to leave-or enter-the United States? No one knows, because the entire clearance procedure would be an administrative determination made secretly, with no right of appeal. Naturally, the decision would be made without a warrant, without probable cause and without even any particular degree of suspicion. Basically, if the HSA decides it doesn't like you, you're a prisoner-either outside, or inside, the United States, whether or not you hold a U.S. passport.

The U.S. Supreme Court has long recognized there is a constitutional right to travel internationally. Indeed, it has declared that the right to travel is "a virtually unconditional personal right." The United States has also signed treaties guaranteeing "freedom of travel." So if these regulations do go into effect, you can expect a lengthy court battle, both nationally and internationally.

Think this can't happen? Think again¦it's ALREADY happening. Earlier this year, HSA forbade airlines from transporting an 18-year-old a native-born U.S. citizen, back to the United States. The prohibition lasted nearly six months until it was finally lifted a few weeks ago. Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union are two countries in recent history that didn't allow their citizens to travel abroad without permission. If these regulations go into effect, you can add the United States to this list.

For more information on this proposed regulation, see http://hasbrouck.org/IDP/IDP-APIS-comments.pdf

Today our neighbourhood woke up to find a massive 15-metre mobile phone mast had been put up by phone company O2 in front of the Five Bells, in East Finchley, despite planning permission being refused by Barnet Council. It dwarfs another phone mast just 50 feet away, while yet another operator is appealing to install a mast 200 yards along the same road, outside two care homes for the elderly. A school for children with special needs is further along the road.

It's an obvious targeting of the East End Road area by the phone companies, who have each application considered in isolation and on its own merits. But it is the community which has to bear the cumulative impact of all these installations, both the visual detraction and health hazards, for years to come.

O2 has erected the Five Bells mast by default, just like it did its one in Chesterfield Road, Barnet (Phone mast protestors block road', November 22), in the confidence that the council would not take it to court after some minor technical error by the council.

The telecommunications corporations have deep pockets and armies of lawyers to fight local residents and cash-strapped councils. It appears the planning process is all a game rigged to make the community the loser.

By Ben Clover

A PROPERTY firm has offered not to go ahead with a controver-sial mobile phone mast development - as long as residents hand over £130,000.

Protesters in and around Arthur Road, Wimbledon, have gathered a petition and written to their MP protesting at the plan but have been told they must pay up if they want to stop it.

An email received last week from the site owner, Towerstile, read: "It has been suggested Towerstile should forgo the potential income.

"We would be willing to withdraw consent to the mast on receipt of £130,000."

The email to campaign organiser DeNica Fairman continued: "If you and your fellow objectors feel strongly about the issues, I am sure you will have no problem in raising this money.

"I already have a contract for signature and I shall therefore need a very quick response if this offer is of interest.

"Incidentally, I would be interested to know how many of you use your mobile phones in the presence of children and/or in built-up areas."

The mast would be above a cafe in the street which is home to many young families. The height of the proposed mast means no planning permission is necessary.

MP for Wimbledon, Stephen Hammond told The Post: "This company is trying to hold the community to ransom. Just because we have more than 2,000 signatures on our petition doesn't mean we can suddenly go off and raise £130,000.

"I have met with Orange who want to put the mast up and suggested eight alternative sites that would serve the same area."

He said nearly every other property in the street had been approached by Orange, but their owners, most of which were based in the area, refused. Towerstile are based in Horsham, West Sussex.

Ms Fairman said delivering the petition to Parliament last night would not be the end of their campaign.

She warned Towerstile: "People will be getting in touch to say how unhappy they are about this."

The Post approached Towerstile for comment but as we went to press had received no reply.

· Sea temperature rise will intensify global warming · Marine life may be badly hit, warns Lovelock

David Adam, environment correspondent
Wednesday November 29, 2006

The Guardian

http://environment.guardian.co.uk/climatechange/story/0,,1959556,00.html

Global warming is creating a climate time bomb by storing enormous amounts of heat in the waters of the north Atlantic, UK scientists have discovered.

Marine researchers at Southampton and Plymouth universities have found that the upper 1,500 metres of the ocean from western Europe to the eastern US have warmed by 0.015C in seven years. The capacity of the oceans to store heat means that a water temperature rise of that size is enough to warm the atmosphere above by almost 9C.

Neil Wells, a scientist on the project at the National Oceanographic Centre in Southampton, said: "People might think it doesn't sound like a big temperature rise but it's very significant." The findings were announced in the journal Geophysical Research Letters as James Lovelock, the UK scientist who developed the gaia theory of life on Earth, warned that such ocean warming could stifle marine life and accelerate climate change.

Professor Lovelock said that thermal mixing of water and nutrients shuts down when the upper layer of ocean water reaches about 12C. "That's why the tropical waters are clear blue and the water in the Arctic looks like soup," he said. Such a change would affect marine life, which research suggests could help form clouds over the oceans. Warmer waters would receive less protection from sunlight, which would warm them further.

The Southampton and Plymouth study suggests heat stored in the oceans could be released into the atmosphere in future, tempering efforts to stabilise global temperatures with cuts in manmade greenhouse gas emissions.

The scientists used 200 floats spread across more than 9m square miles of the north Atlantic in 1999 to measure the water's temperature profile accurately for the first time. The floats, part of a worldwide network called Argo, sink to about 2,000 metres and return to the surface every 10 days to transmit their data.

Dr Wells said the floats revealed that Atlantic waters closer to the surface between the UK and the US had warmed much more than the average
0.015C figure.

Speaking before a lecture to the Institution of Chemical Engineers, Prof Lovelock repeated the prediction, made in his recent book The Revenge of Gaia, that global warming will kill billions of people this century. He said the Earth was undergoing a rapid transition that could boost temperatures by 8C, making large parts of the surface uninhabitable and food production impossible. A hotter planet might be able to support less than a tenth of its 6bn population.

"We are not all doomed," he said. "An awful lot of people will die, but I don't see the species dying out."

Scientists say global warming, due to unrestricted carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels, could boost average temperatures by up to 6C by the end of the century, causing famine and violent storms. But they also say that action now to cut greenhouse emissions could stop atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide reaching 450 parts per million - equivalent to a temperature rise of 2C from pre-industrial levels. But Prof Lovelock said temperature rises of up to 8C were built in. "Trying to take the job on of regulating the Earth is as crazy as you can get," he said. "We have to adapt."

US Airways' knee-jerk reaction to the six imams simply adds another layer of mistrust to the deep suspicion that still lingers after the treatment of Muslims following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001."

Mutprobe in luftiger Höhe

Spezialfirma ersetzt Mobilfunk-Anlage im Kirchturm Sankt Anna

Wolfhagen. Das sorgte gestern für Aufsehen: 55 Meter hoch, bis zur Turmspitze der Kirche Sankt Anna, beförderte ein Kran stundenlang Bauteile nach oben.

Gestern wurde die alte Anlage von E-Plus durch eine modernere ersetzt.

Unter dem Dach der evangelischen Wolfhager Kirche, noch über den Glocken, haben die drei Mobilfunkanbieter Vodafone, T-Mobile und E-Plus seit Jahren ihre Sender installiert.

Damit es in dieser Zeit für die Kunden keine Versorgungslücke gab, hätten in dieser Zeit andere Sender im Umkreis das Stadtgebiet versorgt, so Bernhard Alt, der für den Mobilfunk-Anbieter die Arbeiten überwachte.

Auch die neue Anlage sei von außen nicht zu erkennen: "Die Sender sind alle optisch getarnt", sagt Alt.

Arbeiten im Turm müssen vom Landeskirchenamt genehmigt werden. Auch diesmal hat Pfarrerin Brigitte Engelhardt-Lenz dort das Okay eingeholt. Die Mobilfunkanbieter zahlen an die Wolfhager Kirchengemeinde eine Nutzungsgebühr. "Dieses Geld kommt direkt dem baulichen Erhalt der Sankt Anna zugute", sagt Engehardt-Lenz.

HLV Kommentar:

Über den Fall St. Anna wurde vom HLV bereits ausführlich seit 2004 berichtet.

Das Wichtigste für den „Überwacher“ für E-Plus ist die Tatsache, dass auch die neue Anlage schön versteckt und unsichtbar ist....einfach toll!!!

Die dort lebenden Menschen werden seit Jahren mit gesundheitsgefährdenden Strahlen aus dem Kirchturm bestrahlt! Und die Kirche kassiert dafür Geld!

Recommendations for Federal Legislation to Ensure the Integrity of our Democracy

http://electionarchive.org/ucvInfo/US/EI-FederalLegislationProposal.pdf

By Kathy Dopp

These recommendations are the result of detailed discussions with the foremost election integrity experts in the U.S., over a period of several months. They are complex and technical because counting votes is a complex process with many vulnerabilities. Protecting the vote count is not a simple matter.

In the interest of brevity, we have omitted many technical details. Below the list of recommendations are more detailed comments. A list of experts who can provide details and answer questions will be provided.

Recommendations

1. Manual Audits: Require manual audits of machine vote counts sufficiently statistically valid to ensure that electronically-counted election outcomes are correct.

2. Voter Service Reports: Require states to submit timely reports of detailed election data that can be used to measure voter disenfranchisement and voter service levels.

3. Auditable Voting Systems: Provide funds for upgrading voting systems for jurisdictions that have un-auditable voting systems, but fund only "fully-auditable" voting systems where all able-bodied voters can directly record votes on a paper ballot that is voter-verified.

4. Fund Manual Audits and Voter Service Reports: Provide funds for conducting sufficiently statistically valid manual audits of machine vote counts and producing voter service reports in federal elections.

5. Teeth: Provide certain and swift penalties whenever an election jurisdiction fails in a transparency, auditing, or reporting obligation.

6. Public Election Records: Require election officials to make publicly available in original paper and electronic form all election data and records that would reveal fraud or errors in elections or are necessary to verify voter service reports and manual audits, prior to certification of results.

7. Election Monitoring Website: Create a website containing a publicly accessible database for logging and tabulating voters' complaints in elections; and for publicly displaying the reports from the states.

8. Submission of Reports: Require state election officials to submit auditable, audit and voter service reports to the US GAO prior to state certification of election results.

9. Public Disclosure of Voting System Software: Require public disclosure of voting equipment as a condition of any further contracting to enable post-election voting machine integrity verification.

10. Prohibit Certain Network Connections: Outlaw Wide Area Network connections to, and wireless capability in, voting equipment and prohibit voting through any network.

11. Qualifications for Technical Guidelines Development Committee: Require that members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission's Technical Guidelines Development Committee (TGDC) for voting systems have at least Masters-level academic credentials in a technical field.

12. Public Right to Observe: Require jurisdictions to allow citizens to observe all aspects of elections.

13. Vote Count Audit and Recount Committee: Create a U.S. Vote Count Audit and Recount Committee whose functions include approving state election audit and recount procedures and policies; and setting standards for state auditable, audit, and voter service reports.

14. Repository for Voting System Disclosure: Fund a repository for publicly disclosed voting system software or require "OVC Listed".

15. Prohibit Practices that Disenfranchise Voters: See a specific list in the "Detailed comments" section.

Presse-Information vom 29. November 2006

Coordination gegen BAYER-Gefahren

Die Coordination gegen BAYER-Gefahren protestiert gegen die nachträgliche Zulassung der gentechnisch veränderten Reis-Sorte LL 601 in den USA. „So schnell kann aus einem Gen-GAU ein beschleunigtes Zulassungsverfahren werden“, urteilt Jan Pehrke, Vorstandsmitglied des Vereins. Pehrke fordert den BAYER-Konzern auf, alle gentechnisch veränderten Reis-Sorten vom Markt zu nehmen und die betroffenen Bauern, die ihre Ernte nicht mehr verkaufen können, zu entschädigen.

In den USA ist praktisch die gesamte Langkornreis-Ernte mit LL 601 kontaminiert. Die gegen das von BAYER produzierte Herbizid Glufosinat resistente Sorte kam dadurch weltweit in den Handel. Erst nach Bekanntwerden des Skandals im August beantragte BAYER eine Zulassung - nicht, um LL 601 kommerziell anzubieten, sondern um Schadensersatz-Verfahren den Wind aus den Segeln zu nehmen. Jan Pehrke: „Die US-Behörden machen sich zu Handlangern von BAYER. Eine seriöse Sicherheitsprüfung ist in wenigen Monaten nicht durchführbar – ob von herbizidresistentem Reis langfristige Gesundheitsgefahren ausgehen, ist völlig unklar.“

Ende Oktober wurde in Lieferungen aus den USA auch noch die von BAYER hergestellte Genreis-Sorte LL 62 gefunden. Dieser Fund ist von besonderer Brisanz, da der Konzern eine EU-Importzulassung für LL 62 beantragt hat und die Gefahr einer unkontrollierten Ausbreitung stets bestritten hat. In beiden Fällen ist die Ursache der Kontamination unklar. Die Coordination gegen BAYER-Gefahren forderte die EU in den vergangenen zwei Jahren mehrmals auf, keine Importgenehmigung für genmodifizierten Reis von BAYER zu erteilen.

Auch Friedrich Wilhelm Graefe zu Baringdorf, stellvertretender Vorsitzender des Agrarausschusses des EU-Parlaments, kritisiert das Vorgehen von BAYER: „Ein Unternehmen, das sich aus der Verantwortung stiehlt, indem es im Nachhinein eine Vermarktungsgenehmigung für die USA erwirken will, zeigt blanken Zynismus gegenüber den Landwirten, die geschädigt wurden. Der Fall des Gentech Reises zeigt, dass entweder ein gezieltes Interesse vorliegt, den Bäuerinnen und Bauern Gentech-Getreide unterzumischen oder aber, dass die Gentech-Saatgutindustrie nicht in der Lage ist, zu kontrollieren, wo ihre Gen-Konstrukte auftauchen.“

In den Schadensersatz-Prozessen, die hunderte US-Farmer anstrengten, schaltet BAYER bislang auf stur. In einer 30-seitigen Antwort auf die Vorwürfe der Bauern und Bäuerinnen spricht der Konzern von einem „Akt Gottes“ und einer angeblichen „Nachlässigkeit“ der Farmer. „Es ist bedauernswert, dass BAYER, anstatt die Verantwortung zu übernehmen, versucht, den Reisbauern die Schuld zuzuschieben - den Menschen, die am meisten von der Unternehmenspolitik betroffen sind“, so Adam Levitt, Anwalt der Kläger.

From: American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2006 20:07:27 -0800

The Bureau of Land Management has issued its 2007 Round-Up Schedule. Close to 7,000 horse and burros will be captured, further threatening the genetic viability of our wild herds. The absolute minimum estimated cost of these round-ups and annual containment of the captured horses exceeds 15 million of our tax-dollars.

Of immediate concern is the plan to zero out horses and burros from yet more Herd Management Areas (HMAs) in Southern Nevada, leaving less than 100 horses on over 1 million acres. After this latest round, BLM will have zeroed out horses from 6 out of 9 HMAs in the area. A total of 4 HMAs will also have lost their entire burro populations.

Cold Creek near Las Vegas is of particular interest, as it was the site of a mystery helicopter round-up last summer. About 200 horses are feared gone, yet BLM denies any horses were taken. Officials have failed to investigate the matter, despite repeated pleas by concerned residents who witnessed most of this beloved herd being hauled away to an uncertain fate.

Please protest this gross waste of tax-dollars and mismanagement of our natural resources by contacting the following: - Karla_Norris@nv.blm.gov Assistant Field Manager Bureau of Land Management Las Vegas Field Office 4701 N. Torrey Pines Drive Las Vegas, NV 89130-2301 Make sure to include your name and signature, and this reference number: 4700 (NV052)

Von der Verpflichtung eines jeden Lehrers, hier tätig zu werden!

Seit der Einführung eines Handynutzungsverbots an allen bayerischen Schulen, wird an unseren Bildungseinrichtungen vermehrt über das Thema Mobilfunk diskutiert. Einerseits geht es dabei zunächst vor allem um die sinnvolle Umsetzung des Handynutzungsverbots, andererseits aber auch um die Problematiken der Handynutzung bzw. der Mobilfunktechniken insgesamt. Vielfach werden dabei durch Unkenntnis, oder gar durch politische Einstellungen verursacht, Fehlinformationen weitergegeben. Es sind sogar schon Fälle bekannt geworden, wo für Umweltschutz, Gesundheits- und Medienerziehung engagierte Lehrerinnen und Lehrer wegen der Thematisierung der gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen der derzeit verwendeten Mobilfunktechnik von ihren Vorgesetzten gemaßregelt wurden. Als Argumentationshilfe darum hier einige entscheidende Belege für das Aufgreifen dieser Thematik im Unterricht:

1. BESCHLUSS DES BAYERISCHEN LANDTAGS (14. 5. 2002)

Antrag der Abgeordneten Kreidl, Steinmaßl CSU

Handy-Gebrauch durch Kinder und Jugendliche: Informationen an den Schulen

„Die Staatsregierung wird aufgefordert, im Sinne eines vorbeugenden Gesundheitsschutzes darauf hinzuwirken, dass an den bayerischen Schulen Kinder und Jugendliche in geeigneter Weise über einen verantwortungsvollen Gebrauch von Mobiltelefonen (Handys) informiert werden. Dabei sollten sie, um die Exposition gegenüber elektromagnetischer Strahlung zu minimieren, angehalten werden, „Dauertelefonate“ mit Handys zu vermeiden sowie nach Möglichkeit Freisprecheinrichtungen zu benutzen.“

2. Artikel 56 Absatz 5 Bayerisches Erziehungs- und Unterrichtsgesetz:

„Im Schulgebäude und auf dem Schulgelände sind Mobilfunktelefone und sonstige digitale Speichermedien, die nicht zu Unterrichtszwecken verwendet werden, auszuschalten. Die unterrichtende oder die außerhalb des Unterrichts Aufsicht führende Lehrkraft kann Ausnahmen gestatten. Bei Zuwiderhandlungen kann ein Mobilfunktelefon oder ein sonstiges digitales Speichermedium vorübergehend einbehalten werden.“

3. Beschluss des Bayerischen Landtags (15. 2. 2001)

„Die Staatsregierung wird aufgefordert, das freiwillige Engagement von Lehrkräften im Bereich der Umwelterziehung im Sinne der Bayern-Agenda 21 zusammen mit bereits bestehenden Kriterien bei der dienstlichen Beurteilung zu werten.“

So it is odd to hear it claim that it lacks the power to slow global warming by limiting the emission of harmful gases. But that is just what it will argue to the Supreme Court tomorrow, in what may be the most important environmental case in many years."

HARINGEY Council hopes to raise £10,000 a year from allowing mobile phone masts to be placed across the borough.

Bosses could start marketing its land and buildings as prime sites for mobile phone masts in a bid to raise the cash.

The proposals are contained in next year's budget proposals and have been met with anger from residents.

Sarah Purdy, who lives close to Fortismere School, Muswell Hill, has been involved in numerous protests against mobile phone masts.

She said: "It's absolutely appalling. Other councils have banned putting masts on their own land, let alone promoting it.

"What does it mean - that council tenants are going to get fried?"

A council spokeswoman also confirmed that it charges business rates for every phone mast in the borough, regardless of whether it is on council or private land. It can also earn rent for those masts sited on their own land, "in line with Government policy".

She added: "Central government guidance is to encourage public bodies to make sites available for telecommunications installations.

"In visual terms it can be better to place antennae on a roof, such as at River Park House, than have a mast of 50ft to 100ft in height."

Liberal Democrat councillor Matt Davies, of Fortis Green ward, said: "I am concerned that we are actively promoting more mobile phone mast sites when there are so many residents who have concerns about the possible health risks involved."

An updated and comprehensive list of the 125 mobile phone mast locations in Haringey, plus a further 27 locations within 250 metres of the borough border, will be available this week on our web site, http://www.hornseyjournal.co.uk

A MOBILE phone giant is hoping to erect a mast in the grounds of a cricket club.

Hartlepool Cricket Club, in Park Drive, has been offered a cash sum by T-Mobile to house the telecommunications mast in the form of a flag pole. The company has yet to formally lodge a planning application, but a meeting to discuss the proposal with Hartlepool Borough Council and the club committee has been arranged. The club has so far got no objections to the plan, as the money would allow it to buy an all-weather pitch. However, members would refuse it if a danger to health could be proved. Councillor Pauline Laffey, Conservative representative for the Park ward, is convinced there would be detrimental affects to health. She said: “I object very strongly to the erection of this mast on health grounds, but particularly the health of our children. “Nothing is certain about these masts but many people believe or are convinced that there is a danger to humans. “We have a park nearby and hundreds of homes, and I just don’t think it’s safe.” She added: “It’s our children’s health for sale, that’s what it amounts to.” Bill Shurmer, chairman of Hartlepool Cricket Club, said: “My vision of a mobile phone mast was probably like that of many people, an unattractive hi-tech piece of equipment, that would have absolutely no place in the beautiful Park Drive area. “However, they are proposing a flag pole, which will simply replace the existing one and be sighted at the rear of the club, away from the public areas. “This, we felt, was acceptable from an aesthetic viewpoint and therefore we have, at this stage, allowed them to proceed with a planning application. “The money on offer would be used to create an all-weather practice facility at the ground, which is something that we are urgently in need of. “We have tried to obtain grants and sponsorship, but at this stage we have not been successful and therefore feel that this is an alternative option that we should explore to the full. “I repeat, at this stage no decision has been made and be assured that we will do nothing that the experts consider a danger to health. “Indeed, any decision may be out of our hands, subject to the result of the planning application.” A council spokesman confirmed that planning chiefs have been invited to “enter into pre-application discussions” about the mast. A T-Mobile spokesman said its interest was “due to the demand of services”. A meeting for club members to discuss the issue with experts will be held on Wednesday, December 6, at 6pm, in the club.

Bury my heart in the Green Zone

Everyone is guilty in the ongoing Iraq tragedy. The US-trained new Iraqi army is infiltrated by militias, by death squads and even by al-Qaeda in Iraq. The SCIRI, Da'wa and the Kurds are only worried about their own interests, not the interests of Iraq as a nation. And the US - always hiding under the dubious mantra of "Iraqi democracy" - totally evades its responsibility in provoking the appalling chaos in the first place.

Zur Einstellung des Mannesmann-Verfahrens erklärt der Bundesgeschäftsführer Dietmar Bartsch:

Es ist ein Skandal: Ohne Skrupel und mit der Begründung, es gäbe kein öffentliches Interesse an einer Fortsetzung des Verfahrens, wurde die Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz ad absurdum geführt. Viktory-Ackermann kann sich freikaufen. Das Signal ist eindeutig: Die Kleinen hängt man, die Großen lässt man laufen. Die Sitten verlottern auch oder vor allem an der Spitze der Gesellschaft. Das führt zu zunehmender Politikverdrossenheit und schadet der Demokratie. Bei Ackermann & Co. ging es um 57 Millionen Euro Prämien, die sich die Manager selbst zugeschanzt hatten - zu Lasten des Unternehmens und nach Gutsherrenart. 3,2 Millionen Euro Strafe sind für Herrn Ackermann Peanuts. Er hat sich freigekauft, gilt fortan als unbescholtener Bürger und kann weiterhin seinen Geschäften nachgehen.

TIGHT security was in place as campaigners finally lost their battle to stop a mobile phone mast being erected in a Sheffield suburb.

Residents had fought against the development at the junction of Slayleigh Lane and Hallamshire Road, Fulwood, by operator Hutchinson 3G, trading as 3, for two years ago.

Hundreds of protestors took to the streets in opposition in June 2004, and kept a 24-hour watch to turn back any workmen trying to erect the mast.

Hutchinson suspended proposals to consider alternative sites, but none were found.

Yesterday police and security guards were on watch with fences round the site as workmen put up the mast.

Tom Barker, of Hallam Grange Rise, a member of protest group Sheffield Hallam Against Masts, said: "There were about 15 police officers and eight security guards. Very few residents were about because they turned up at about 9.30am when people had set out for work.

"There was no major protest because we had no advance warning, and only about 15 of us gathered to watch what was going on. It was a complete shock. There was little anyone could do. The mast is an eyesore."

Fulwood Lib Dem councillor John Knight said: "The fact they have done this work very sneakily without warning will only encourage further protests if they try to put any other masts in the area."

Hutchinson 3G said it looked at alternative sites but none were acceptable.

It asked to use the Sheffield NHS build in Old Fulwood Road but the health service refused. A proposal to site the mast at Hallam Grange tennis club, Slayleigh Lane, was refused planning permission.

Brian Spooner, of 3, said: "We have made efforts to help it blend in with the surroundings."

Please sign my new Petition "Boycott Troy Lee Gentry for Killing Cubby the Black Bear." Most of you have read the unfortunate story of Cubby, the domesticated black bear, who lived in a penned-in 3 acre area next to a wilderness hunting area in MN. Troy Lee Gentry, country singer of the Montgomery Gentry duo, in a pre-arranged "canned" Killing, shot Cubby in his pen, had his head mounted. Please read the whole story on the petition and sign it. I am asking for you to boycott Troy Gentry's concerts and products - let's let him know that people do not approve of dishonorable "canned" killing, nor do we find him a good role model for our children. Rich, successful "stars" often do not understand anything but their fans disapproval of their behavior. A BOYCOTT is a way to get our message across LOUD and CLEAR! Please sign and pass the word around to your friends and friends of friends. Thank you for Cubby's sake! It's the only justice he will get. Even if you like his music, Remember Cubby!

TELL OUR CONGRESS TO RESCIND BUSH'S WAR STARTING POWERS

ACTION PAGE: http://www.peaceteam.net/aumf.php

The history of the last four years has proven that the Bush administration cooked intelligence and lied to obtain the original Authorization for Use of Military Force ("AUMF"), which was then immediately abused to launch an unprovoked and unwarranted invasion and indefinite occupation of Iraq. Yet, even as the strategic disaster in Iraq lurches further out of control day by day, the Bush administration is still talking about even more irrational plans to light a bigger powder keg in Iran. As reported by Seymour Hersh, Cheney arrogantly stated just before the elections that even were the Democrats to take back the Congress they would find some way around any legislative restrictions to pursue their insanity option in Iran.

Well we DID take back Congress. And the first thing Congress must do to reassert adult control over the petulant White House is to cancel the 2001 AUMF. Not only was it used to justify preemptive imperialism in Iraq, it has been trotted out incessantly since to excuse the illegal domestic wiretaps, the program of torture and secret detentions in violation of the Geneva convention, and every other manner of defiance of Congress and the federal courts since. It was NOT an authorization to unilaterally violate the Constitution, but it has been taken as such, and accordingly it MUST go.

A simple majority of Congress is all that is required to restore the appropriate and just balance of powers, to at least require the executive to have the express consent of Congress before any ill-advised new military misadventure. Only withdrawing the AUMF can send a message that foreign policy run amok will no longer be the order of the day.

The one click form below will send your personal message to all your government representatives selected below, with the subject "Terminate the Authorization for Use of Military Force." At the same time you can send your personal comments only as a letter to the editor of your nearest local daily newspaper if you like.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours.

"The Congressional Democratic leadership, eager to start investigations into the failures and cover-ups of their Republican predecessors, have a list; but so far, the 'black sites' of the CIA are far from a priority. But the president - who gave the CIA 'special license' in 2002 to operate outside the law in kidnapping suspected terrorists and sending them to torture prisons abroad for interrogation - has already protected its interrogators with provisions he and Dick Cheney inserted into the Military Commissions Act of 2006," writes Nat Hentoff.

John F. Borowski asks why. When questioned, "The NSTA wrote that acceptance of the DVDs would place an 'unnecessary risk upon the capital campaign, especially certain targeted supporters.'"

For months, the media have rejected the use of the term "civil war" to describe the descent into outright murder and torture in Iraq. Apparently the utter chaos and carnage of the past week has finally convinced NBC News and MSNBC to begin to use "civil war" without apology.

"Even as Washington waits with bated breath for the Iraq Study Group to release its findings," writes Andrew Bacevich, "the rest of us should see this gambit for what it is: an attempt to deflect attention from the larger questions raised by America's failure in Iraq, and to shore up the authority of the foreign policy establishment that steered the United States into this quagmire. This ostentatiously bipartisan panel of Wise Men (and one woman) can't really be searching for truth. It is engaged in damage control."

If Israel's cellular carriers are forced to fully indemnify municipalities for the drop in property values caused by proximity to cellular antennas, then there are obviously going to be fewer antennas, warned the CEO of one carrier in a conversation with TheMarker. That means that the radiation emitted by cell phones will actually increase, he said. Moreover, the CEO said, the companies will simply build their antennas in low income neighborhoods. "You can understand for yourself that we aren't talking about areas where rich people live," he added. The Forum of Cellular Companies, a body that comprises Israel's three main cellular carriers - Pelephone Communications, Partner Communications and Cellcom - is handling the companies' response to the indemnification demand.

They have already spent NIS 10 million over the last year convincing the public that there is no danger in cellular telephone radiation, and are planning on at least doubling that amount next year. Part of this money, the companies decided, will be used to establish a national visitors center about the cellular industry. And the effort seems to be paying off: Recent surveys that the forum commissioned have shown a decrease in the public's worries about cellular radiation.

Two weeks ago, the forum scheduled a meeting with the Education Ministry to discuss how to explain properly to teachers, parents and students that placing an antenna at a school would actually significantly reduce the radiation emitted by the students' cell phones. The companies argue that the more antennas there are in a given area, the less powerful they need to be, and thus the lower the radiation produced by the cell phone.

The CEO of the cellular operator confirmed that the topic of antennas at schools arose at the forum. The forum also intends to try to recruit the Environment Ministry's support for its position, in order to show that it this position is not based solely on commercial considerations.

Yesterday, TheMarker reported that the effort to set the level of indemnification for decreases in property values is stuck fast, as none of the parties involved is actually interested in making progress at this time. Currently, cellular operators are required to provide 100 percent indemnification.

There are now about 6,700 cellular antennas in Israel, and Pelephone's decision to build a third-generation network will mean the addition of 700 more.

DUBAI — Mobile phone experts have requested the Ministry of Health to classify mobile phones as potential health hazards due to the high amounts of radiation that electronic gadgets emit.

At a meeting organised at Al Bustan Rotana Hotel by Bauer Biotech recently, the experts discussed the harmful effects of electronic gadgets, especially cell phones, on human health.

David Furlong, international therapist and author as well as a health practitioner, said that even a simple act such as keeping a mobile phone in a chest pocket could affect the energy fields in the body and cause disturbances in the body’s resonance.

Attendants of the meeting suggested that the MoH should treat mobile phones as harmful as cigarettes and label the gadgets as harmful to human health.

“We are not aware of the effects of radiation on our bodies,” he explained, adding that though the use of electronic gadgets cannot be ruled out entirely, the effects could be neutralised. “Today, a number of research studies from around the world prove conclusively that the enhanced usage of cell phones, beepers, Ipods, laptops and other modern electronic devices have the possibility of harming the human body,” he added.

Furlong said that only a few people could feel the effects of radiation immediately. “They have obvious symptoms such as disturbances, depression, headaches, reduced concentration, hot spots in the brain, overheating of eyes (leading to eye tumours), heart problems and cataracta,” he said.

“But there are only a few people who head to doctors with related symptoms. Tests have proved that radiation might have been the cause,” he added.

He also said that prolonged usage of the mobile phones increased body heat and blood pressure, impotency among men, exhaustion, genotype disturbances and blood formulations. “Tests have also proved that 90 per cent of tumours are related to radiation,” added Furlong. Friedrich J Bauer from Bauer Biotech, who is in Dubai to introduce the Green8 which neutralises the electromagnetic fields, said that there has been a dramatic increase in radiation in the world over the years.

Giving figures Bauer said that there were over 120 million mobile phones in Europe alone and 191 million in the Middle East region. “Until 2005 the number of cell phones expected worldwide was 2,000 million,” he said.

Describing experiments, Bauer said that two Russian journalists cooked an egg in 65 minutes with the cell phones. “It only takes two minutes of speaking on a cellular phone for the radiation to cross the protective Blood Brain Barrier,” he explained.

This was incorrect. The state militias have been 'nationalized' into the 'National Guard' and are now being used unconstitutionally for foreign occupations.

To watch Dobbs work, to trust him, as many do, the way we once trusted Walter Cronkite, is to see America as a nation under siege. We are, if we're to believe Dobbs, suffering from policies that have encouraged undocumented workers to cross the Mexican border only to depress wages, overwhelm public schools, and blaze the way for infiltrating terrorists. At the same time, we are under attack from within, he says, from multinational corporations: the same grand companies that once provided the middle class with decent jobs and pensions but now find it easier and cheaper to ship out jobs to India and China.

Except when the survival of the nation is at stake, all military missions must be judged according to a cost-benefit calculation. Iraq has never come close to being a war for America's survival. It was an elective war -- a war of choice, and a bad choice at that. How much are Americans willing to pay in blood, treasure and toil to try to prevail in Iraq? The costs have already been staggering. We have spent more than $340 billion, and the meter is running at more than $7 billion a month. The loss of life is even more horrific. Nearly 2,900 American troops have perished, and the Iraqi government estimates that 150,000 of its citizens have died in the carnage. And there is no end in sight...

The dollar plunged with startling ferocity late last week, driven by heavy selling. This was very bearish action that signals panic, and the probable onset of a severe downtrend. A break below the crucial support at 80 on the dollar index is expected to mark the transition from a clandestine unloading of dollar assets to an all-out stampede to “get what you can for them” before it’s too late.

"Investivlohn"

Soziale Kapitalpartnerschaft – für mehr Arbeitnehmerbeteiligung an Gewinn und Kapital

Antrag des Bundesvorstandes der CDU Deutschlands an den 20. Parteitag am 27./28. November 2006 in Dresden (pdf) http://www.dresden2006.cdu.de/download/060904_antrag_pt_mitarbeiterbeteiligung.pdf

Aus dem Text: „…Gesellschaftsrechtliche Beteiligungen sind als voll haftendes Eigenkapital Risikokapital; es entspräche nicht ihrem Charakter, sie abzusichern…“

Hieraus auch unser Unwort des Tages: „Soziale Kapitalpartnerschaft“

Demgegenüber unser Zitat zum Thema:

„Beteiligung Die große Koalition will neue Regeln für die Beteiligung von Beschäftigten an Unternehmensgewinnen schaffen. – Eigentlich überflüssig, weil Beschäftigte schon immer an den Unternehmensgewinnen beteiligt sind: durch ihre Arbeit.“ Aus: Deutscher Einheit(z)-Textdienst von Werner Lutz 12/2006

Und unsere gewerkschaftliche Empörung des Tages:

„Soll außer dem Risiko des Arbeitsplatzverlustes auch noch das unternehmerische Risiko von den Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmern getragen werden?“

DGB-Vorstandsmitglied Dietmar Hexel in der DGB-Pressemitteilung vom

Mitarbeiter-Kapitalbeteiligung: Metallindustrie sieht Investivlohn kritisch

„Die Idee des Investivlohns stößt bei den Tarifparteien der Metallindustrie auf deutliche Vorbehalte. Zwar haben weder IG Metall noch Arbeitgeber etwas dagegen, die Beschäftigten stärker am Unternehmensgewinn zu beteiligen. Neue Regelungen für eine Beteiligung der Arbeitnehmer am Kapital ihres Unternehmens sehen aber beide Tarifparteien skeptisch…“ Artikel von Dietrich Creutzburg in Handelsblatt vom 28. November 2006 http://www.handelsblatt.com/news/Politik/Deutschland/_pv/_p/200050/_t/ft/_b/1175129/default.aspx/metallindustrie-sieht-investivlohn-kritisch.html

Aus dem Text: „…Daneben steht die zentrale tarifpolitische Streitfrage, zu wessen Lasten eine Kapitalbeteiligung aufgebaut werden soll. Gesamtmetall hält die Grundidee zwar für durchaus interessant – aber vor allem dann, wenn sie freiwillig bleibt und aus regulärem Arbeitslohn aufgebaut wird: Denkbar sei eine tarifliche Öffnungsklausel, in deren Rahmen Unternehmen „Tarifentgeltbestandteile für eine Kapitalbeteiligung nutzbar“ machen könnten. Eine solche Anrechnung lehnt die IG Metall jedoch von vornherein kategorisch ab. Doch sind nicht alle Gewerkschaften so reserviert. Vor allem die Chemiegewerkschaft IG BCE und die Gewerkschaft Nahrung-Genuss-Gaststätten (NGG) werben schon lange dafür, die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen für die Mitarbeiterbeteiligung zu verbessern. IG-BCE-Chef Hubertus Schmoldt schließt zumindest nicht aus, dass auch zukünftige Tarifsteigerungen teilweise zum Aufbau von Kapitalanteilen genutzt werden könnten…“


Mitarbeiterbeteiligung: DGB will mehr Arbeiter zu Aktionären machen

„Auch Gewerkschafter sollen Eigentümer werden: Der DGB unterstützt Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel und will mehr Arbeiter zu Aktionären machen. Dafür sollen als Lohn gezahlte Aktien begünstigt werden und bis 2000 Euro im Jahr steuerfrei sein…“ Artikel in Spiegel online vom 25. November 2006 http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,450678,00.html


Investivlohn - Trostpflaster für Lohnverzicht?

„Die CDU hat wieder einmal den Investivlohn entdeckt. Es wäre ja nicht schlecht, wenn Unternehmer zusätzlich zum Tarif die Beschäftigten am Unternehmen beteiligen würden. Genau darum geht es Merkel und Co. nicht. Beschäftigte sollen auf einen Teil des Lohns verzichten. Und dieser Verzicht heißt dann Investivlohn…“ ver.di-Wirtschaftspolitische Informationen 05/2006 (pdf) http://wipo.verdi.de/wirtschaftspolitische_informationen/data/06_05_Investivlohn.pdf

Aus dem Text: „…Beim Investivlohn erhalten Beschäftigte statt festes Einkommen lediglich eine Art Lotterielos: Ob es ein Gewinn wird, bleibt offen. Nicht einmal der Einsatz ist gesichert. (…) Gängige Investivlohn-Modelle sind mehr Vermögenseinbildung als Vermögensbildung….“


Lohnsenkung als Staatsprogramm: Kombilohn, Mindestlohn, Investivlohn... Der Lohn ist Standortfaktor und kein Lebensmittel

Dokumentation eines Vortrages des GegenStandpunkt-Verlags vom Juni 2006 aus Frankfurt/Main http://www.kommunismus.net/2006/07/lohnsenkung_als_staatsprogramm_kombilohn_mind_1.html

Und weil die Forderung ja nix Neues ist, erinnern wir an einen Text im LabourNet:

„… Und wie sieht es mit den über 10 Millionen kleinen Aktionären, Pensionsfondsinhabern und Inhabern einer Belegschaftsaktie aus? Entsteht hier eine neue Zwischenklasse, oder gar die Auflösung des Klassengegensatzes, weil jede und jeder Einzelne zugleich auf beiden Seiten steht? – Objektiv wohl kaum. Denn bei fast allen von ihnen ist der Kapitalbesitz zu geringfügig um mehr als ein Zubrot zum Erwerbseinkommen zu bringen. Wäre er groß genug, um die Abhängigkeit von Erwerbsarbeit aufzuheben, würde im übrigen das ökonomische System zusammenbrechen. Die Werbung von Staat und Unternehmern für mehr Mitbesitz soll deren Rückzug aus sozialstaatlicher Verantwortung abdecken: Der einzelne soll für sich selber sorgen und trägt zudem noch das unternehmerische Verlustrisiko, wenn er mit seiner Aktie auf das falsche Pferd gesetzt hat. Der Kleinaktionär teilt aber mit den Großaktionären nicht die Möglichkeit, über Sinn und Ziel seines Geldeinsatzes zu bestimmen. Die Ziele der Produktion, die Richtung, in der sich die Ökonomie entwickelt, sind weiterhin vom Großbesitz bestimmt. Ändern kann sich allerdings die Situation für die Interessenvertretung jener Belegschaften, die Lohnabhängige bleiben und zugleich Kapital-Teilhaber geworden sind…“

Antrag zur Einführung eines bedingungslosen Grundeinkommens von 1200 Euro

„Die Höhe des Regelsatzes von 345 Euro für ALG-II-Bezieher wird abgelehnt, weil sie zur Sicherstellung eines kulturellen Existenzminimum nicht ausreicht.

Die Mitgliederversammlung fordert daher alle gewerkschaftlichen Gremien auf, sich für ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen von 1.200 Euro (für den Haushaltsvorstand) monatlich einzusetzen. Entsprechend sollen die Aktivitäten innerhalb von ver.di und dem DGB ausgearbeitet werden, um dieser Forderung zur politischen Durchsetzung zu verhelfen…“ Der Antrag wurde am 2.11. 2006 bei der Landesbezirkserwerbslosenkonferenz NRW mit 31 Stimmen dafür, dagegen 1 und 3 Enthaltungen angenommen.

Interview mit Götz Werner von Jens König und Hannes Koch in der taz vom 27.11.2006 http://www.taz.de/pt/2006/11/27/a0146.1/text

Aus dem Text: „…Wir brauchen kein Recht auf Arbeit, jedenfalls nicht auf weisungsgebundene, sozialversicherungspflichtige Erwerbsarbeit. Das ist nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Wir brauchen ein Recht auf Einkommen. Auf ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen…“


Schlaraffenland in Bürgerhand. Wie der "Verteilungssozialismus" mitten im Kapitalismus funktionieren kann, bleibt nicht nur bei Götz Werner ein Rätsel

„Im Interview (Freitag 44/06) begründete vor zwei Wochen Götz Werner, Inhaber der Drogeriekette "dm", weshalb er sich für ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen einsetzt. Umstritten ist sein Vorschlag, zur Finanzierung eines neuen Sozialmodells eine reine Konsumbesteuerung einzuführen. Dann würden - so die Kritik - die Unternehmen die großen Gewinner sein, da sie von jeglicher Steuerlast befreit wären. Nur diese kapitalfreundliche Schlagseite in Werners Vision zu bemängeln, reicht nicht aus, meint nun der Ökonom Ulrich Busch und fahndet nach der volkswirtschaftlichen Logik des Hoffnungsträgers Grundeinkommen…“ Artikel von Ulrich Busch in Freitag vom 17.11.2006 http://www.freitag.de/2006/46/06460701.php


"Das Grundeinkommen schafft Vertrauen"

Würde ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen dazu führen, dass viele sich einfach nur hängen lassen? Nein, meint der Arbeitssoziologe Günter Voß. Es wäre vielmehr die Basis für ein sinnvolles, selbstverantwortliches Leben. Interview von Barbara Dribbusch in der taz vom 2.12.2006 http://www.taz.de/pt/2006/12/02/a0171.1/text

A mobile phone company plans to turn a church spire into a phone mast.

But the suggestion has sparked protests from people living near St Mary's Church in Goring, Worthing.

Hampshire company QS4 said in a letter to residents that the scheme was the "preferred local option".

John Horsey, church relationship manager of QS4, wrote: "The installation might well reduce the number of aerials required locally."

But Simon Barwick, of Ilex Way, said: "We are totally against this and aim to fight it, not only because we live right next to the church but we are thinking of all the children and adults who live in the area near to the church and who use the church and church hall everyday.

"According to the letter the church spire is the preferred local option'. No it is not. I don't know anyone with a mobile who has a signal problem around here."

Mr Horsey said: "Mobile phone companies are seeking to improve reception for mobile phone users and to provide the new 3G services.

"The installation would be managed and built by QS4, which has a thorough knowledge and understanding of all aspects of the industry.

Safety

"They are committed to the highest standards of health and safety and respect for the life and mission of the church.

"It is likely that one installation inside the church would do the job of several lower masts sited more conspicuously around the neighbourhood.

"Base stations are already installed in several churches around the country without any problems.

"The installation would have no visual effect on the neighbourhood, with the antennae inside the spire.

"The equipment cabinets would be either within the spire or discreetly located close to the spire."

The Rev Andrew Tremlett, vicar of Goring, said: "We are at a very early stage of the proposal. We have taken the initiative and tried to find out people's views.

"Obviously there will be those for and against.

"I understand that people will have concerns but millions of people are using mobile phones every day.

"The income from it is not huge, about £5,000 a year, about three or four per cent of our income. It would certainly help but it is not a make or break situation."

Final approval for the scheme would have to be given by the Diocese of Chichester.

People are being asked to submit their comments by December 4.

St Mary's dates back to the 12th century although most of the existing church was built in 1837.

Worthing Borough Council said it had not yet received an application.

Most of these mighty elites have chosen to live in the shadow of the mainstream media they control. Not so Rick Warren. Yet his global ambitions and magnetic leadership skills would serve them well, and Warren knows it. "Billions of people suffer each day from problems so big no government can solve them," Warren told the cheering crowd at Los Angeles' Angel Stadium back in 2005. "The only thing big enough to solve the problems of spiritual emptiness, selfish leadership, poverty, disease, and ignorance is the network of millions of churches all around the world.".....

10 Hz flicker improves recognition memory in older people.

BACKGROUND: 10 Hz electroencephalographic (EEG) alpha rhythms correlate with memory performance. Alpha and memory decline in older people. We wished to test if alpha-like EEG activity contributes to memory formation. Flicker can elicit alpha-like EEG activity. We tested if alpha-frequency flicker enhances memory in older people. Pariticpants aged 67-92 identified short words that followed 1 s of flicker at 9.0 Hz, 9.5 Hz, 10.0 Hz, 10.2 Hz, 10.5 Hz, 11.0 Hz, 11.5 Hz or 500 Hz. A few minutes later, we tested participants' recognition of the words (without flicker). RESULTS: Flicker frequencies close to 10 Hz (9.5-11.0 Hz) facilitated the identification of the test words in older participants. The same flicker frequencies increased recognition of the words more than other frequencies (9.0 Hz, 11.5 Hz and 500 Hz), irrespective of age. CONCLUSION: The frequency-specificity of flicker's effects in our participants paralleled the power spectrum of EEG alpha in the general population. This indicates that alpha-like EEG activity may subserve memory processes. Flicker may be able to help memory problems in older people.

Comment:

One can't help but wonder if a 10 hz flicker improves recognition memory WHY can't anyone prove other frequencies/oscillations/pulsations, etc. can actually cause harm? We know the answer, of course -- THEY don't want to acknowledge that which causes serious adverse health effects but rather, acknowledge only "biological effects" which are claimed to be meaningless!!! How much longer do scientists think they can continue to report therapies, etc. without admitting there are limits beyond which adverse health effects definitely occur?
