CounterPunch
by Alexander Cockburn

01/14/07

A make-or-break speech by a beleagured American president is usually preceded by a demonstration of American might somewhere on the planet and the run-up to Bush’s address Wednesday night was no exception. The AC-130 U.S. gunship that massacred a convoy of fleeing Islamists on Somalia’s southwestern border, apparently along with dozens of nomads, their families and livestock, was deployed on its mission on Sunday, to make timely newspaper headlines indicative of Bush’s determination to strike at terror wherever it may lurk. Moral to nomads: when the US president schedules a speech, don’t herd, don’t go to wedding parties, head for the nearest cave...

The Weekly Standard
by Matthew Continetti

New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton remains the most hawkish prospective candidate in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Among the major Democrats who have announced or are about to announce their candidacies, only Sen. Clinton has not clearly repudiated her October 10, 2002, vote authorizing the use of force against Saddam Hussein. And although Clinton opposes Bush’s proposed increase of American combat troops deployed in Iraq, and has called for the ‘phased redeployment’ of some troops from Iraq in order to foster a political settlement that might end sectarian killing there, such positions still leave her to the right of the antiwar left and most other Democrats.” (for publication 01/22/07)

So the official Democratic Party spokesman’s line on the crisis in the Middle East goes something like this: Gee, it’s too bad we’re stuck in a quagmire in Iraq, when the real imperative is to attack Iran. We’re in the wrong war — and, thanks to George W. Bush, the American people have ‘no stomach’ for attacking what amounts to a genuine threat. You’ll notice, if you follow the link and read the whole quote, how Dean wimped out in the end, only agreeing with the Bushies’ rush to war as far as imposing sanctions. However, you can bet Dean and his fellow Democrats, especially presidential wannabes and the congressional leadership, are not about to stand up to the War Party when the bombs begin to fall on Tehran...

I don’t think I could do without certain modern conveniences, like the Amish do. I need my Blackberry. But we can still learn from the kind of self-sufficiency the Amish practice. Namely, their habit of doing entirely without government help of any kind. When somebody in the Amish community needs help, guess who helps them? That’s right, other Amish people. Voluntarily. But instead of applauding their independence, we seem to regard it as some kind of problem...

That your hard drive can so easily be hijacked, and that millions have been, seems to indicate that the laws on possession of illicit images turn innocent people into criminals without their knowledge. Instead of concentrating on possession, which is what law enforcement is doing — because it is easier — their emphasis ought to be on production. The criminals who produce the material ought to be the targets here. Possession on a hard drive indicates very little. Yet in many places, especially the United States where many Constitutional protections have been eroded, possession is flimsy evidence on which to hang a conviction especially when so many U.S. states send people to prison for such long terms. Remember Matthew Bandy was being charged with nine counts each worth a 10 years consecutive sentence. Had he been convicted he could be held in prison until he was 106 years old...

Unqualified Offerings
by Jim Henley

01/13/07

When otherwise smart liberals, who support withdrawal from Iraq and want to restore habeas corpus, aver that, sure, expanding the Army is a good idea, all they’re doing is making it easier to launch ‘wars of choice.’ Let’s be clear what that dainty phrase really means: Illegal, aggressive wars. If a war is optional, it is almost certainly unjust, and probably contravenes the UN Charter’s proscriptions. A country involved in a lot of wars is a country that will restrict a lot of civil liberties. Just as front-line troops require a logistical tail, a large military requires a massive bureaucratic, ‘legal’ and political tail.

Christian Science Monitor

01/12/07

For President Bush’s new plan for Iraq, the clock is already ticking. It appears to face time pressure on at least two fronts. On Capitol Hill, the patience of the Democratic-controlled Congress for the proposal to dispatch 21,500 more US troops to the country is clearly limited. It’s possible that the antipathy of many lawmakers towards the plan could foreshadow a resolution of disapproval — or even attempts to limit funds for the war. In Iraq, the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is supposed to move new Iraqi forces into Baghdad within weeks. If these Iraqi units don’t materialize, the US may be forced to reevaluate its strategy, according to administration officials. Thus by early next month the political and military context for the US troop buildup could look very different than it does today...

This is a critical time. The European Commission (EC) is currently revising the law – known as Directive 86/609 – that governs animal experiments across Europe. There is a real possibility that with enough support the EC will ban all primate tests as part of the revised law. But we need to make it see how much support there is for this.

Our colleagues at the European Coalition to End Animal Experiments (ECEAE) have put together a website that enables concerned citizens across Europe to send a very quick email to the Commission asking them to ban primate tests. It will take you just a few seconds to help us put pressure on the EC to ban these deeply immoral and scientifically flawed experiments.

I wonder if he could tolerate a country that differentiates between ‘white people’s cocaine’ and ‘black people’s cocaine’ in its sentencing laws. I wonder if Dr. King would have the moral strength to stick to his philosophy of non-violence in this era of militarized police, ‘no-knock’ raids, death sentences for self-defense, and the cold-blooded murder of elderly black women by their alleged protectors.

Below is a case example of the collision between Big Pharma and the American consumer. The New York Times editorial in support of legislation to require the government to negotiate lower drug costs: "Under current law, written to appease the pharmaceutical industry, the government is explicitly forbidden from using its huge purchasing power to negotiate lower drug prices for Medicare beneficiaries. That job is left to the private health plans that provide drug coverage under Medicare and compete for customers in part on the basis of cost. The Democrats' bill would end the prohibition and require - not just authorize - the secretary of health and human services to negotiate prices with the manufacturers." To gain insight into how a pharmaceutical giant is revving up itsr troops to lobby Congress against the legislation. See Pfizer CEO's directive to the entire staff exhorting them to mobilize and lobby Congress to vote against drug price controls. http://www.pfizerfactfiction.com/mma/flash.html

Pfizer CEO claims price controls will reduce Pfizer's ability to bring "innovative" medicine's to patients. What innovative medicines? Is he referring to Pfizer drugs that increase the risk of suicide? e.g., Neurontin, Zoloft (sertraline) Or drugs that increase the QT interval putting patients at risk of cardiac arrest? e.g., Geodon (ziprasidone) Pfizer has an ignoble record of putting profits ahead of people by suppressing lethal risks of their drugs and by illegally marketing drugs for unapproved, off label uses. According to a report by the NJ, Public Interest Research Group, Pfizer has received the greatest number of warning letters from the FDA about its deceptive marketing practices. See: Turning Medicine into Snake Oil: How Pharmaceutical Marketers Put Patients At Risk, May 2006 http://www.njpirg.org/NJ.asp?id2=24023

Tell Congress not to be influenced by contemporary snake oil salesmen. Price controls are needed to stop bankrupting public healthcare budgets. Price controls will reduce Pfizer's obscene profit margins and perhaps rein in the $200 million parachutes for Pfizer CEOs. http://www.pfizerfactfiction.com/mma/flash.html

THE NEW YORK TIMES EDITORIAL

Negotiating Lower Drug Prices

Published: January 12, 2007

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/12/opinion/12fri1.html

From all the ruckus raised by the administration and its patrons in the pharmaceutical industry, you would think that Congressional Democrats were out to destroy the free market system when they call for the government to negotiate the prices of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries. Yet a bill scheduled for a vote in the House of Representatives today is sufficiently flexible to allow older Americans to benefit from the best efforts of both the government and the private drug plans.

The secretary of health and human services should be able to exert his bargaining power with drug companies in those cases in which the private plans have failed to rein in unduly high prices - leaving the rest to the drug plans. The result could be lower costs for consumers and savings for the taxpayers who support Medicare.

Under current law, written to appease the pharmaceutical industry, the government is explicitly forbidden from using its huge purchasing power to negotiate lower drug prices for Medicare beneficiaries. That job is left to the private health plans that provide drug coverage under Medicare and compete for customers in part on the basis of cost.

The Democrats' bill would end the prohibition and require - not just authorize - the secretary of health and human services to negotiate prices with the manufacturers. That language is important since the current secretary, Michael Leavitt, has said he does not want the power to negotiate.

No data is publicly available to indicate what prices the private health plans actually pay the manufacturers. But judging from what they charge their beneficiaries, it looks like they pay significantly more for many drugs than do the Department of Veterans Affairs - which by law gets big discounts - the Medicaid programs for the poor, or foreign countries.

The administration argues, correctly, that the private plans have held costs down and that there is no guarantee the government will do any better. The bill, for example, prohibits the secretary from limiting which drugs are covered by Medicare, thus depriving him of a tool used by private plans and the V.A. to win big discounts from companies eager to get their drugs on the list. The secretary does have the bully pulpit, which he can use to try to bring down the cost of overpriced drugs.

The bill also does not require the secretary to negotiate prices for all
4,400 drugs used by beneficiaries. A smart secretary could simply determine which prices paid by the plans seemed most out of line with the prices paid by other purchasers and then negotiate only on those drugs. The private plans are explicitly allowed to negotiate even lower prices if they can. This sort of flexibility should pose no threat to the free market. It is time for the Medicare drug program to work harder for its beneficiaries without worrying so much about the pharmaceutical companies.

So if a surge of 20,000 troops will not bring "victory" in Iraq, what are we doing there? Remember that one of the goals of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) is a "permanent military presence" in the region. Despite our claims that we are not "occupiers," most Iraqis see our construction of huge military bases and a huge Embassy there as representing exactly that......

What are we Doing in Iraq?, Part 2

by Dennis Cuddy, Ph.D

A national army, like the U.S. Army, is trained for and tasked with defending our nation against external aggressors. For over a century, posse comitatus laws have prohibited the army from being used in civilian law enforcement. Yet, that is exactly what the U.S. is asking the Iraqi National Army to do. They aren't being trained to resist an invasion from the Syrian Army, for example, but to provide security WITHIN Iraq. That means Sunnis having to kill their fellow Sunnis and Shiites killing fellow Shiites......

The American company appointed to advise the US government on the economic reconstruction of Iraq has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars into Republican Party coffers and has admitted that its own finances are in chaos because of accounting errors and bad management.

Frank Rich writes: "President Bush always had one asset he could fall back on: the self-confidence of a born salesman. Like Harold Hill in 'The Music Man,' he knew how to roll out a new product, however deceptive or useless, with conviction and stagecraft. What the world saw on Wednesday night was a defeated Willy Loman who looked as broken as his war. His flop sweat was palpable even if you turned down the sound to deflect despair-inducing phrases like 'Prime Minister Maliki has pledged ...' and 'Secretary Rice will leave for the region. ...' Mr. Bush seemed to know his product was snake oil, and his White House handlers did too."

Choices Dwindle If Iraq War Plan Fails

If the revamped Iraq war plan fails, it will be time to withdraw most US troops. Or send more in. The United States is seen as having a limited number of options, all grim, if President Bush's "new way forward" hits a wall. The pressure for US disengagement will be immense. Yet a further escalation, however unimaginable now, may not be out of the question.

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/011407E.shtml



Why Do We Need a National Conference for Media Reform?

"Bush just connected Iraq to 9/11 again, and the media will not tell you it was a lie," says David Swanson. "Bush just gave a list of reasons why this time his escalation of the war will work. A minute later, Bush told us there will still be IED attacks and suicide bombings. The media will not point out that such actions ought really to count as interference."

On Wednesday, January 10, President George W. Bush announced that he would be sending 21,500 more troops to Iraq as early as Monday. "The escalation of this war is very disappointing," said Mass Communications Specialist Third Class, Jonathan Hutto, 29, a sailor stationed aboard the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt. Ironically, as the additional troops begin arriving in Iraq, Hutto and other active duty troops will travel to Washington to present the Appeal for Redress of Grievances from the US Congress to US Representative Dennis Kucinich.

The Pentagon has been using a little-known power to obtain banking and credit records of hundreds of Americans and others suspected of terrorism or espionage inside the United States, part of an aggressive expansion by the military into domestic intelligence gathering. The CIA has also been issuing what are known as national security letters to gain access to financial records from American companies, though it has done so only rarely, intelligence officials say.

It was once considered Americans' patriotic duty: enduring extraordinary tax increases in wartime to help finance the fight. Not today. Iraq is the only major US conflict, except for the 1846-48 Mexican-American War, in which citizens haven't been asked to make a special financial sacrifice. President George W. Bush opposes tax increases, even as the costs escalate far beyond predictions and he calls for more troops.

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/011407Y.shtml

The bipartisan opposition to President Bush's troop-increase plan has proved more intense than his advisers hoped and has left them scrambling to find support, but the White House is banking on the assumption that it can execute its "new way forward" in Iraq before Congress can derail it.

Diese Einschätzung kann ich für Oberbayern absolut nicht bestätigen.

Wir (Kreis Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen und angrenzende Bis in Schäftlarn, Seeshaupt und Penzberg) befinden uns deutlich im Aufschwung – vor allem, seit die Gesundheitsuntersuchungen im Umkreis der MF-Sender deutliche Krankheitsbilder zeigen.

* So kommen zu unseren vierteljährlichen Kreistreffen jedes Mal mehr Interessierte und BIs

* Unsere BI trifft sich nun schon seit mehr als sechs Jahren regelmäßig monatlich (zwischen 10 und 50 Interessierte, je nach aktuellem Thema) und wird neidvoll von den Parteien beäugt (besonders von den GRÜNEN) wegen der Pressearbeit.

* Auch im Allgäu gibt es sehr aktive und offensive Bis, hier sogar Ärzteinitiativen

* So wird gerade eine Musterklage wegen Wertminderung in Schäftlarn vorbereitet bei einer Wohnung, die seit mehr als einem Jahr unverkäuflich ist, weil nach Süden in 40 m Entfernung eine große MF-Sendeanlage steht

* So wurden in WOR und Icking Sammelklagen wegen Körperverletzung eingereicht, in Icking zusätzlich Sammelklagen gegen das Gesundheitsamt des Landkreises wegen unterlassener Hilfeleistung; in Geretsried sind weitere Sammelklagen (wegen Körperverletzung und Wertverlust) in Vorbereitung

* So wurden in Icking und WOR außerordentliche Bürgerversammlungen zum Thema MF und Gesundheitsgefährdung durchgesetzt und abgehalten mit großem Presseecho und deutlichen Anträgen an den Gemeinderat/Stadtrat; weitere in anderen Städten und Orten sind in Vorbereitung

Es kommt unserer Einschätzung darauf an, langen Atem zu behalten und nicht auf kurzfristige Erfolge zu setzen. Wir haben so erreicht, dass z.B.

* Die BNA die installierten Senderleistungen aller in Wolfratshausen gemeldeten HF-Sender mit Adresse herausgegeben hat

* Die BNA sich jetzt bereiterklärt hat, dies für alle Sender in den oben genannten Orten und im Kreis Tölz-WOR zu tun (bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch ohne Adresse, aber da sind wir noch dran)

* Der Stadtrat von WOR seit mehr als drei Jahren eine Veränderungssperre erlassen hat, um eine Sendeanlage auf dem Gelände der Straßenmeisterei (vom Land Bayern großzügig als Standort zur Verfügung gestellt) zu verhindern

Ich selbst bin betroffener Elektrosensibler und weiß daher, worum es geht – dies ist ein zusätzlicher Pluspunkt, der vielleicht verhindert, dass Bis schnell wieder aufgeben.

Also, unsere Parole lautet: dicke Bretter bohren und nicht aufgeben – es gibt immer noch einen Weg.

Gruß und weiterhin Kraft für die Überzeugung der Öffentlichkeit wünscht
