What Price Slaughter?

"As anyone who has ever taken out a life insurance policy knows, we humans are quite capable of putting a price on life - and death," writes Tom Engelhardt. "Recently, through a Freedom of Information Act request, the ACLU pried loose some of the requests for compensation payments submitted by Iraqis and Afghans (and the military's decisions on them, including denials of payment). They make grim reading."

Liberalism Versus Power Populism

Dean Baker writes: "The Democrats like to portray themselves as the party of humble masses. This is in contrast to the Republicans, who President Bush once jokingly described as the party of the 'haves and have mores.'"

Pivotal Moment in the Green Scare

David Rovics writes: "The term 'ecoterrorism' was coined by a corporation, by a PR firm in New York. The laws passed by Congress giving 'ecoterrorists' extra decades in prison for their alleged crimes were, of course, like most laws in this alleged democracy, passed at the behest of large corporations."

Iraqi Parliament Won't Accept US-Written Oil Law

It has not even reached parliament, but the oil law that US officials call vital to ending Iraq's civil war is in serious trouble among Iraqi lawmakers, many of whom see it as a sloppy document rushed forward to satisfy Washington's clock.

Waxman Threatens to Subpoena CIA's Plame Documents

Congressman Henry Waxman, the Democratic chairman of the House Government Affairs and Oversight Committee, has threatened to use his subpoena power to obtain documents from the CIA related to events five years ago in which former Ambassador Joseph Wilson was chosen to travel to Niger to probe allegations that Iraq was trying to obtain yellowcake uranium from the African country.

Gericht schützt Imker vor Gen-Pollen

Rückschlag für Genmais-Anbau in Deutschland

Verwaltungsgericht Augsburg stärkt Eigentumsrechte eines Imkers
http://www.heise.de/tp/r4/artikel/25/25280/1.html

--------

Das Verwaltungsgericht Augsburg hat den Freistaat Bayern verpflichtet, Honig vor Genmais Pollen zu schützen. Mit dem Urteil haben Imker Anspruch darauf, dass ihre Ernte frei von Gentechnik bleibt. Honig mit Genmais-Pollen stelle „ein nicht verkehrs- und verbrauchsfähiges Lebensmittel dar.“ Das Gericht verpflichtete mit Beschluss vom 4. Mai 2007 die Landwirtschaftsverwaltung des Freistaats, „den gentechnisch veränderten Mais vor der Blüte zu ernten oder die Pollenfahnen der Maispflanzen während der Blütezeit abzuschneiden“. Nur wenige Tage zuvor, am 27. April 2007, hat das Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit (BVL) einen Bescheid mit Sofortvollzug erlassen, die Monsanto bis auf Weiteres das Recht entzieht, den Gen-Mais MON 810 in Deutschland zu vertreiben. Nach EU-Recht erlischt 2007 die Verkaufsgenehmigung für Monsantos Bt-Mais. Für eine mögliche Neuzulassung muss der US-Konzern nun einen Monitoring-Plan vorlegen. Interessant ist vor allem die weitere Begründung der Behörde, wonach nach neuen Erkenntnissen berechtigter Grund zu der Annahme bestehe, „dass der gentechnisch veränderte Mais eine Gefahr für die menschliche Gesundheit und Umwelt darstellt“.

Republicans Unable to Define Progress in Iraq

As the Democratic-controlled House passed yet another war spending bill last week, and Bush promised yet another veto, some members of Bush's own party went to the White House with a blunt warning: We're with you now, but if there is no progress by September, all bets are off. There's just one problem. Nobody in Washington seems to agree on what progress actually means - or how, precisely, it might be measured.

Voter-Fraud Complaints by GOP Drove Dismissals

Nearly half of the US attorneys slated for removal by the administration last year were targets of Republican complaints that they were lax on voter fraud, including efforts by Presidential Adviser Karl Rove to encourage more prosecutions of election-law violations, according to new documents and interviews. Democrats point out that such fraud is rare and that GOP efforts are designed to suppress legitimate votes by minorities, the elderly and recent immigrants, all of whom are likely to support Democratic candidates.

The Tide Has Turned. Believe It!!

Just when the Roman Empire appeared to be at its peak, it was already in decline and its days were numbered. In exactly the same way, the mobile phone industry seems to be in total control - but it’s not. Public Opinion is alerted, Public Opinion is on the move - and Public Opinion is a force to be reckoned with. Operators and politicians would do well to remember the moving hand that wrote on the wall at King Belshazzar’s great feast:

“You have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Your kingdom will be divided.”

The writing is on the wall for the phone (& TETRA) operators. Will they have the wisdom and the courage to co-operate with the public to find a better way - a way that benefits everybody - before it’s too late for them?

Deforestation: The hidden cause of global warming

Independent [UK]

05/14/07

The accelerating destruction of the rainforests that form a precious cooling band around the Earth’s equator, is now being recognised as one of the main causes of climate change. Carbon emissions from deforestation far outstrip damage caused by planes and automobiles and factories. … Scientists say one days’ deforestation is equivalent to the carbon footprint of eight million people flying to New York. Reducing those catastrophic emissions can be achieved most quickly and most cheaply by halting the destruction in Brazil, Indonesia, the Congo and elsewhere. No new technology is needed, says the GCP, just the political will and a system of enforcement and incentives that makes the trees worth more to governments and individuals standing than felled. ‘The focus on technological fixes for the emissions of rich nations while giving no incentive to poorer nations to stop burning the standing forest means we are putting the cart before the horse,’ said Mr Mitchell...

On Iraq, Kucinich wants the truth out

Join 40,000 Voters Already in the National Cheney IMPEACHMENT Poll

Since our last alert there have been additional dramatic revelations of just how insidiously the vice president corrupted our government and the sacred decision to go to war. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell's former right-hand man, has now come forward to accuse Cheney's own Office of Special Plans of a campaign to deliberately deceive the nation. And he has gone on public record calling for an impeachment investigation.

41,000 of your fellow activists have already voted in the National Cheney Impeachment Poll.

POLLING PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/cheney_impeachment.php

You can vote yes. You can vote now. But please DO vote.

Furthermore, in arrogant defiance of the ground of Kucinich's third proposed article of impeachment, which was stated as threatening aggression against the Republic of Iran absent any real threat to the United States, Cheney stood on the deck of a battleship in the Persian Gulf this week, with a backdrop of our most lethal military hardware, and escalated that threat. Even as the situation in Iraq deteriorates day by day, he was quoted as saying,

"We want to complete the mission, get it done right and return with honor."

Cheney has learned nothing. He is completely out of Constitutional control. He is determined to complete mission one, which is and always was to blow the ENTIRE Middle East up in a giant powder keg, to produce sky high profits for his oil industry cronies, and at the expense of our real national security. And the only way we can stop him is to impeach him just as soon as possible.

Please do everything you can to spread the word about the National Cheney Impeachment Poll. Dennis Kucinich has three House co-sponsors now for H.Res. 333, William Lacy Clay, Jr. (MO), Jan Schakowsky (IL) and Albert Wynn (MD). If these are your representatives, please call and thank and encourage them toll free at 800-828-0498, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803. If they are not, call and ask your representatives why they will not fulfill their duty to press for impeachment, if it is supported by the facts and the mounting evidence.

When he was in Baghdad this week, after using the reporters covering his trip for a cynical photo-op, he was overheard telling his staff to "kick the press out." It's time to kick some people out alright, starting with Cheney himself! And it's time for the press to start doing their job again, which is to expose the secret, dirty tricks that have passed for our government for the last six years. And to do that we must create a cultural phenomenon of a million people and more voting in the National Cheney Impeachment Poll.

The momentum is building. We need to pour it on. The more you do to help, the louder the drumbeats will get for impeachment, until neither Congress nor the media can ignore our voices. It must come from we the people. That's us.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

#Die Linkspartei.PDS: Pressemitteilungen

15. Mai 2007

Zum heute vom Bundesinnenminister veröffentlichten Verfassungsschutzbericht 2006 erklärt der Bundesgeschäftsführer Dietmar Bartsch:

Das über 500 Seiten umfassende Werk ist Beleg für Schäubles bedenkliche Sicht auf die Freiheitsrechte, seine Kurzsichtigkeit im Bezug auf den Rechtsextremismus und seinen absurden, politisch geprägten Blickwinkel auf die Linkspartei.PDS. Datenvorratsspeicherung und Onlineüberwachung dienen dem Minister als Allzweckwaffe im Kampf zwischen Innerer Sicherheit und den schützenswerten Freiheitsrechten. Die informationelle Selbstbestimmung soll hinter Schäubles allumfassendes Sicherheitsverständnis zurücktreten. Hier wird der Innenminister mit konsequenter Gegenwehr der Linkspartei zu rechnen haben. Die Zahlen zu rechtsextremistischen Straftaten umfassen lange nicht alle relevanten Aktionen, z.B. bei Fußballspielen. Wenn nicht blind, so ist der Verfassungsschutz hier zumindest kurzsichtig. Ein Abzug der V-Männer als Voraussetzung für ein Verbot der NPD wird von Schäuble abgelehnt. Umso scharfsichtiger ist Schäuble, wenn es um die Linkspartei geht: Alle Jahre wieder unterstellt er Nähe zu Linksextremisten im In- und Ausland. Die Linkspartei.PDS wird einschließlich ihrer Abgeordneten vom Verfassungsschutz weiter belauscht und ausgespäht. Das ist ein Skandal. Denn laut Grundgesetz kontrolliert das Parlament den Verfassungsschutz und nicht umgekehrt.

AfroColombians Oppose Free Trade Agreement

Later this spring the US Congress is expected to debate a free trade treaty that President George Bush has already signed with Colombia. Like all such agreements, it will create more favorable investment conditions for US corporations and banks, by removing legal protections for the land inhabited by AfroColombian and indigenous communities, cutting the public budget for social services, and privatizing public enterprises like electricity. Colombian workers and farmers fear these measures will lead to a huge loss of jobs, and are organizing to resist the treaty.

The inspector general is examining whether officials who run “America Supports You,” a three-year-old Pentagon program lauded by Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, helped arrange a fund-raiser for a private foundation set up last December by former Bush administration appointees. The foundation raises money to help troops and their families.

Governors Say War Has Gutted Guard

As wildfires, floods and tornadoes batter the nation, the readiness of the National Guard to deal with those disasters, as well as potential terrorist assaults, is so depleted by deployments to foreign wars and equipment shortfalls that Congress is considering moves to curtail the president's powers over the Guard and require the Defense Department to analyze how prepared the country is for domestic emergencies.

URGENT: Sheldon Horses at Risk

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) intends to skirt the issue of continued management of wild horses on the Sheldon Wildlife Refuge in Northern Nevada by directing public attention to “gathering options.” The current Environmental Assessment (EA) does not address comprehensive options for managing wild horses and burros. We need your public comments to address the real issues and STOP the planned gathers of wild horses NOW! To manage wild horses at Sheldon Wildlife Refuge, FWS must:

1. Suspend all gathers until a comprehensive conservation plan has been completed for the management of wild horses and burros at the Sheldon Wildlife Refuge.

2. Manage wild horses and burros as wildlife, not “feral animals,” and consider them a part of the bio-diversity of species on the refuge. Horses have resided in the area long before it was designated as a Wildlife Refuge, and are considered by the public and FWS as part of the visitor experience for “viewing wildlife.” They are also of historic significance and share habitat areas with adjacent wild horses and burros managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

3. Gather scientific data on all wild horses and burros, as would be done with any species managed by the federal government. Currently, there is inadequate data for the continued management of wild horses and burros at the Sheldon Wildlife Refuge.

Persons seeking more detailed information on the EA should visit the U.S. Fish and Wildlife website. A 30-day comment period on the EA began on April 17th, 2007. Written comments or questions should be e-mailed to sheldon-hart@fws.gov or sent to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 111, Lakeview, OR 97630. Comments must be received by May 17th, 2007. Please send a copy of your comments to Rep.

Reflection of America That Was

by Joyce Morrison

Kids didn’t dare say they were bored. Moms were very creative at finding work to be done. The only store where you could buy “junk” was the Five and Dime store. There wasn’t a huge selection and kids didn’t have money to waste so they learned to save the pennies they earned. Today’s young people think they are “due” everything they want - including cell phones, computers, I pods and cars….and the parents work two jobs to provide these “necessities.”......

STOP EGYPTS SLAUGHTER OF CATS AND DOGS

http://tinyurl.com/25ev9v

This female dog was shot in Egypt today at 1,15 in the afternoon, her agony lasted for 15 minutes, because it is only one bullet for each dog (to save money). This dog was pregnant. We ask you to do something, to write to your embassies in Egypt and to take action. We are doing what we can but we need help. This is one of the 77 pictures we took today, many other dogs were massacred today. This is the first picture. I will send you more with some addresses of the responsibles in Egypt.
