Justiz-, Polizei- und Politikkreise in kriminelles Netzwerk verstrickt?

Medienberichten zufolge sind hohe Justiz-, Polizei- und Politikkreise in Sachsen in ein kriminelles Netzwerk größeren Ausmaßes verstrickt. Den Berichten zufolge machten sich laut sächsischem Verfassungsschutz höchste Leipziger Kreise erpressbar, weil sie Anfang der 1990er Jahre in einem Bordell verkehrt haben sollen, in dem minderjährige Mädchen zur Prostitution gezwungen wurden. Mit dem vom sächsischen Verfassungsschutz offenbar jahrelang ausgespähten kriminellen Netzwerk soll sich nun auch Generalbundesanwältin Monika Harms befassen, damit nicht der Eindruck aufkommt, es würde etwas vertuscht.

Liberalisierungsdruck: Warnung vor "wirtschaftlichem Ausverkauf Afrikas"

Mehrere Nicht-Regierungsorganisationen aus Europa sowie aus Afrika, der Karibik und dem pazifischen Raum (AKP-Staaten) warnen angesichts der Tagung des EU-Ministerrats vor einem "drohenden wirtschaftlichen Ausverkauf Afrikas". Die Organisationen Brot für die Welt, Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst, Oxfam Deutschland, WEED und andere fordern insbesondere die deutsche Ratspräsidentschaft auf, "den derzeitigen Zuschnitt regionaler Handelsabkommen, der so genannten "Economic Partnership Agreements" (EPAs), zugunsten nachhaltiger und gerechter Alternativen zu korrigieren". Ein "durchgesickerter" Entwurf der EPA-Abschlusserklärung des Ministerrates zeige, dass die EU entgegen offizieller Verlautbarungen unverändert auf eine umfassende Marktöffnung der armen Länder setze.

At Least 11 Members of Congress Now Under Investigation

While Congress has been busy this year dealing with issues such as the Iraq war, the US attorney firings controversy and the federal minimum wage, some members have had their attention diverted by legal problems. By our count, 11 members of Congress (and ten former members who departed with the 109th Congress) are currently the subjects of ongoing criminal investigations.

William Rivers Pitt writes: "Recall, for context, our national debate over torture, renditions, and the rights of prisoners captured in the 'War on Terror.' Recall the secret memos, endorsed by then-White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales, that slapped aside Geneva Convention prohibitions against the torture of prisoners. Recall Abu Ghraib, and the shameful photos documenting the absence of those prohibitions in living, bleeding color. It was theoretical at the time, that debate, an exercise in nationalist rhetoric and sound-bite showmanship. It isn't theoretical anymore."

Republicans Unnerved by Paralyzed Presidency

Private conversations with Republicans throughout America reveal doom and gloom about a politically paralyzed presidency and party. The on-the-record observations are almost as bleak. "The country doesn't believe George W. Bush, it doesn't trust him, and with 19 months to go, it's only going to get worse," predicts Ed Rollins, a Republican strategist who ran Ronald Reagan's 1984 presidential campaign.

Cindy Sheehan and 32 Antiwar Protesters Arrested

After rallying in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House, more than 250 antiwar advocates marched through Washington, DC to Capitol Hill. As the demonstrators marched up Independence Avenue, they chanted, "Stop the Funding, Stop the War – Mothers Say, Not One More." At the Department of Justice, the crowd stopped, with Cindy Sheehan making an impromptu speech pointing out the crimes of the Bush administration. As 33 were arrested, the crowd chanted, "Arrest George Bush" and "Stop the Funding, Stop the Killing."

After rallying in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House more than 250 anti-war advocates marched through Washington, DC to Capitol Hill. When they reached the Cannon House Office Building they formed two circles blocking the street to all traffic. The demonstration was the ‘Mother of a March’ spearheaded by Cindy Sheehan whose son died in Iraq. The march kicked off a ‘Summer of Action’ where anti-war demonstrators will SWARM on Congress from today until June 31 advocating an end to the war. Numerous speakers urged peace voters to put ‘peace before partisanship’ as thus far the Democrats have not lived up to the mandate of the voters who elected them to end the war...

Mission accomplished for Iran

Independent Institute
by Ivan Eland

05/14/07

With its usual tin ear for public relations, the Bush administration provided another ‘Kodak moment’ of incompetent belligerence by yet again sending a high-level administration official to use an aircraft carrier as a prop for a hawkish rant. Vice President Dick Cheney did manage to refrain from displaying another ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner during his address to the crew of the John C. Stennis, stationed 150 miles off Iran’s coast. But as Cheney warned Iran against disrupting oil transportation routes or getting nuclear weapons, the speech’s imagery also reminded the American public of President Bush’s previous fiasco on another aircraft carrier. Yet Cheney’s speech may have more adverse implications for U.S. security than Bush’s earlier public relations disaster...

More bureaucracy, less security

AntiWar.Com
by US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)

05/15/07

Congress voted this past week to authorize nearly $40 billion for the Department of Homeland Security, but the result will likely continue to be more bureaucracy and less security for Americans. Five years into this new department, Congress still cannot agree on how to handle the mega-bureaucracy it created, which means there has been no effective oversight of the department. While Congress remains in disarray over how to fund and oversee the department, we can only wonder whether we are more vulnerable than we were before Homeland Security was created. I was opposed to the creation of a new Homeland Security department from the beginning. Only in Washington would anyone call the creation of an additional layer of bureaucracy on top of already bloated bureaucracies ’streamlining’...

More than one crisis at World Bank

Christian Science Monitor

05/15/07

Whether Paul Wolfowitz remains president of the World Bank or not, the furor over his leadership raises questions about the importance of reforming the policies and structure of an institution born more than 60 years ago, at a time of very different global financial needs. Does the bank still need to make loans to middle-income countries, for instance, given the rivers of investment capital that now flow around the world? Does the tradition of allowing the United States to name the bank’s president make sense any longer? Does the bank even need to continue to exist? ‘The good thing about this crisis is that the US government may realize it has to pay more attention to these international financial institutions,’ says Colin Bradford, a senior fellow for global economics and development at the Brookings Institution. ‘It’s not enough to just put your guy in there’...

Ergebnis: Bei chinesischen und indonesischen Aldi-Zulieferern werden Arbeitsrechte in bisher kaum bekannten Ausmaß verletzt! So müssen z.B. in China Beschäftigte wochenlang auf ihre Löhne warten.

We live in a time of imperial-driven destructive wars in the name of 'democracy', savage exploitation in the name of 'emerging world powers', massive forced population displacement in the name of 'immigration' and large-scale pillage of natural resources in the name of 'free markets'. We live in a time of barbarism and the barbarian elites employ an army of linguistic and cultural manipulators to justify their conquests.

Understanding The Threat to Dietary Supplements

by Byron Richards

Your right to have free access to safe and highly effective dietary supplements is under an intense multi-pronged FDA attack. On May 14, 2007 the Supreme Court sided with the FDA by deciding not to hear the case of Nutraceutical v FDA, letting stand a federal appeals court ruling that permits the FDA to use drug-related risk/benefit analysis to determine if a nutrient is safe. This is the exact same point the FDA is trying to get put into law through Senate bill S.1082 and HR.1561, which consumers have flooded the Senate on over the past few weeks. And it is the same point the FDA is seeking to help implement on an international basis through Codex.......

Call the harmful technologies by their true names

One of the points I make in my lectures has to do with the naming of things by what they are or what they are not, 'False-negative names".

NOTE: Always pay close attention when something is named by what it is NOT! This occurs when the namer has something to hide and is engaged in sleight-of-mind, a mental trick, against the public.

Why would a corporation call energy it promotes "nonionizing radiation" when it could call it more accurately "radiofrequency radiation"? Why would a group describe RF absorption levels "nonthermal" when there IS heat deposition, and they could call the levels more correctly "microthermal"? Why would one call weapons "nonlethal" when they were more properly called "direct-energy" or "electromagnetic" weapons?

Here's why: because public relations firms advised the corporations promoting these technologies to do so, in order to convey SAFETY to the public mind, SAFETY that is actually HARM.

When engineers and others read "nonionizing" and other false-negative names, they don't even QUESTION whether the technologies might be harmful! When the suggested mechanism of harm is denied even in the name of a thing, engineers can't even think that there might exist another mechanism of harm.

When you see these false-negative names, always turn it around and call the harmful technologies by their true names!

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."

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.

Can you please broadcast these messages of HOPE? We must always have faith and hold on to hope. If Dr Grahame Blackwell says so then there must be just cause.

He has worked tirelessly in the past – and maybe now? – to help people with these newer technologies and the harm they can cause, so he is one who would know, especially with his qualified technical background.

His new books are very interesting, too. http://www.transfinitemind.com/

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?

Don’t be fooled by appearances!

The days of hazardous microwave communications are limited. This risky technology is not sustainable.

It’s just a matter of time now before official policy follows commonsense.

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.
