"A federal judge has ordered the Labor Department to share with the public the results of years of toxic substance sampling in American workplaces. Federal officials said Monday they were reviewing the decision. The decision, by US District Judge Mary L. Cooper, came in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by former Labor Department official Adam Finkel, who now is a whistleblower," reports The Associated Press.

"For years, the public calendars of two top federal drug safety officials were largely blank - devoid of the required detail about their contacts with the industry they regulated. Open government experts and lawmakers said it is only the latest example of the lack of transparency at the Food and Drug Administration and a violation of the spirit of open government," reports The Associated Press.

Matt Renner reports for Truthout: "An internal Department of Justice email dealing with a series of the most controversial aspects of the US attorney firing scandal was deleted by a DOJ official the day after Congress began to address the firings. Three months later, the official told Congressional investigators that he had not destroyed any documents or deleted any records relating to the US attorney firings. This is the first publicly released evidence that individuals directly involved in the plan to fire eight US attorneys have destroyed documents that are of interest to Congressional investigators."

Do Not Execute Elijah Page!

The state of South Dakota is set to execute Elijah Page on July 9-13 for the March 2000 murder of Allan Poage in Spearfish, SD. Page was 18 at the time of this crime. His mother allowed drug dealers to molest him in exchange for drugs and his stepfather once use him as a human shield in a drug-related shootout. His trial judge even stated, "Most parents treated their pets better than your parents treated you." Of his two codefendents, one received the death penalty and another received a life sentence.

Page has given up his appeals. This will be South Dakota's first execution in 60 years.

ACT NOW by contacting Gov. Mike Rounds requesting that Elijah Page's execution be halted!

Every so often, the front page trumpets ethical and legal lapses committed by US intelligence agencies. In Iraq, they have run the gamut from pre war falsification of weapons data to surveillance of American citizens to kidnapping to torture of prisoners. During the Cold War, it was ‘black operations’ that included staging coups, assassinating foreign leaders, infiltrating American organizations, conspiring with Mafia groups, spying on journalists — perhaps even murder. Last week, the latest paroxysm of revelation announced, as a New York Times headline put it, ‘CIA Skeleton … [A] Catalogue of Wiretaps, Assassination Plots, and Mind Control.’ But the so called ‘family jewels’ of the CIA’s hidden abuses may not enshrine the deepest and darkest secret...

Militarization is a broad term that refers to using military-style weapons, tactics, training, uniforms, and even heavy equipment by civilian police departments. It’s a troubling trend because the military has a very different and distinct role than our domestic peace officers. The military’s job is to annihilate a foreign enemy. The police are supposed to protect us while upholding our constitutional rights. It’s dangerous to conflate the two. But that’s exactly what we’re doing...

Someone in the U.S. government finally has noticed the plight of Iraqi Christians. A congressional appropriations subcommittee has voted to spend $10 million to aid displaced religious minorities within Iraq. That mostly means Christians. Although Islam long has been in the ascendancy in Iraq, the so-called Assyrians, who speak a neo-Aramaic language, represent a distinct religious minority, generally grouped in the Chaldean, Apostolic Catholic, and Syriac Orthodox churches. The Assyrians predate the rise of Islam, representing a 7,000 year-old civilization. They have survived numerous episodes of war and catastrophe. Today, however, the Iraqi Christian community faces possible extermination...

Merkel plädiert für Online-Durchsuchungen zur Terrorabwehr

Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) sieht noch Gesetzgebungsbedarf zur "Verbesserung der inneren Sicherheit". Merkel sagte am 2. Juli in Berlin, es gebe eine "latente Bedrohung" durch den internationalen Terrorismus. "Darauf muss mit Augenmaß geantwortet werden", so Merkel. Es sei "mit Sicherheit" noch Gesetzgebungsarbeit notwendig. Die Kanzlerin nannte in diesem Zusammenhang konkret Online-Untersuchungen sowie allgemein die "Ausfüllung" der neuen Kompetenzen des Bundeskriminalamtes (BKA) zur Bekämpfung des Terrorismus. Die CDU-Chefin verteidigte zugleich das Drängen ihrer Partei nach Einsätzen der Bundeswehr im Inneren.

Terrorismusbekämpfung und Grundrechte

"Die alte Trennung zwischen innerer und äußerer Sicherheit ist von gestern". Alte Hüte und neue Moden im Sicherheitswarenhaus BRD

„Am Montag stellte Bundeskanzlerin Merkel den Entwurf des neuen Grundsatzprogramms der CDU vor. Dabei war es "vorhersehbar", so Peter Nowak, dass sie die Ereignisse in London zum Anlass nahm, "alte Hüte" der Sicherheitsdebatte hervorzukramen, nämlich das Ansinnen, die Bundeswehr verstärkt im Inneren unseres Landes einzusetzen. "Kritiker" meint Nowak dazu, "sprechen auch von der Taktik der allgemeinen Gewöhnung". Das hat sich nun mit der Äußerung des Bundesinnenministers Schäuble bestätigt, der am Dienstag auf einer Sicherheitstagung eine neue Variante äußerte: "Die Unterscheidung zwischen Völkerrecht im Frieden und Völkerrecht im Krieg passt nicht mehr auf die neuen Bedrohungen." Offenbar will er dadurch nicht nur wie zuvor, Militär auch im Inneren einsetzen, sondern auch nach dem Vorbild der USA für den extralegalen Status von "feindlichen Kämpfern" und Lager wie Guantanamo werben…“ Artikel von Klaus Heck in telepolis vom 05.07.2007 http://www.heise.de/tp/r4/artikel/25/25644/1.html


Rolf Gössner: Menschenrechte in Zeiten des Terrors - Kollateralschäden an der „Heimatfront“

„…Seit den Terroranschlägen vom 11. September 2001 kommt es weltweit zu gravierenden Menschenrechtsverletzungen – nicht allein durch Terrorakte, sondern durch die weltweite „Terrorismusbekämpfung“. Auch in der Bundesrepublik übertreffen sich seit den Terroranschlägen von New York, Madrid und London Parteien und Sicherheitspolitiker gegenseitig mit Gesetzesvorschlägen, die der Sicherheit der Bürgerinnen und Bürger dienen sollen, mit Sicherheit aber ihre Freiheitsrechte einschränken. Mit den „Antiterror“-Gesetzen von 2002 wurden u.a. Polizei- und Geheimdienstbefugnisse ausgeweitet, Sicherheitsüberprüfungen von Arbeitnehmern auf „lebens- und verteidigungswichtige Betriebe“ ausgedehnt, „biometrische Daten“ in Ausweispapieren erfasst, Migranten unter Generalverdacht gestellt und einer noch intensiveren Überwachung unterzogen. Der staatliche „Antiterrorkampf“ stellt sich immer mehr als ein enormes Umorientierungs-, Umerziehungs- und Umgestaltungsprogramm heraus – ein Programm der Demontage hergebrachter Grundsätze des Völkerrechts, der Menschen- und Bürgerrechte und des liberal-demokratischen Rechtsstaates. Im Kern geht es um den Umbau der Sicherheitsarchitektur und um die Entgrenzung staatlicher Macht: Der Bundeswehreinsatz im Inland und damit die Militarisierung der „Inneren Sicherheit“ sowie die Zentralisierung und Vernetzung aller Sicherheitsbehörden stehen für diese verhängnisvolle Entwicklung. Als Publizist, Rechtsanwalt, Sachverständiger und Menschenrechtler hat Rolf Gössner die oft skandalösen Kollateralschäden dieses staatlichen „Antiterrorkampfes“ an der „Heimatfront“ aufgedeckt und analysiert. Er zieht nach fünf Jahren kritisch Bilanz darüber, was sich seit dem 11.9.2001 im Namen der Freiheit und Sicherheit hierzulande verändert hat und wohin die Entwicklung geht…“ Aus dem Umschlagtext des Buches von Rolf Gössner. Es hat ca. 280 Seiten , kostet EUR 17.00 und hat die ISBN 978-3-89458-252-4. Siehe dazu:

Zu den von Innenminister Schäuble erneut geforderten gesetzlichen Regelungen für Online-Durchsuchungen erklärt die stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende Katina Schubert:

Erneut bemüht Innenminister Schäuble die Terrorgefahr, um geheimdienstliches Hacking salonfähig zu machen. Seit längerem missbraucht der Bundesinnenminister den Kampf gegen den Terror für eine allumfassende Überwachung der Bürgerinnen und Bürger. Vorbei sind die Zeiten, in denen sich Polizei und Geheimdienste erst mühsam den Zugriff auf persönliche Daten erstreiten mussten.

Generalverdacht statt Unschuldsvermutung ist die verfassungswidrige Kurzform dessen, was der Bundesinnenminister plant. DIE LINKE wird diesem Ansinnen ihren ganzen Widerstand entgegen setzen. Die verfassungsrechtlich garantierten Freiheitsrechte dürfen nicht zur Fußnote verkommen.

Bleibt zu hoffen, dass die SPD in dieser Frage standhaft bleibt und sich endlich vom Schily-Kurs abwendet. Das wäre ein erster Schritt der SPD auf dem Weg zur bürgerrechtlichen Besserung.

Zu den erneuten Bestrebungen der Union, den Energiegipfel dafür zu nutzen, den Atomausstieg aufzuweichen, erklärt das Mitglied des Parteivorstandes Wolfgang Methling:

Trotz der jüngsten Havarien in den Atomkraftwerken in Brunsbüttel und Krümmel will die Union den morgigen Energiegipfel nutzen, um ihr altes Atomsüppchen neu zu kochen. Erst unlängst hat die Union bewusst Ängste vor Strompreiserhöhungen geschürt und mit dieser Drohkulisse versucht, den vereinbarten Atomausstieg aufzuweichen.

Statt sich immer wieder zum Sprachrohr der Energiegiganten zu machen, muss der beschlossene Atomausstieg konsequent umgesetzt und konstruktiv begleitet werden. Immer neue Zugeständnisse an die Energiekonzerne nützen weder dem Klima noch der Natur oder den Stromkunden. Atomenergie ist keine Alternative.

Eine sichere, umweltschonende und preiswerte Energiebereitstellung ist ganz ohne Atomenergie möglich. Zukunftsfähig wird Deutschland auf dem Gebiet der Energiewirtschaft nur, wenn bei der Versorgung auf einen ausgewogenen Energiemix gesetzt wird. Erneuerbare Energien wie Wind- oder Solarenergie werden in Deutschland noch zu wenig genutzt. Hier besteht großer Nachholbedarf.

It’s not every day that a 26-year veteran in U.S. military intelligence puts his career on the line by publicly criticizing a high-profile operation. But Lt. Col. Stephen Abraham, an Army reservist and lawyer, did just that last week in a Supreme Court affidavit that challenges the court’s refusal to hear the claims of Guantanamo Bay detainees...

The political disintegration of the Republicans was preceded by a long, drawn-out intellectual decline that dates from the time of the neoconservative incursion into GOP ranks during the Reagan presidency, when the Scoop Jackson Democrats first landed on right-wing shores and carved out a beachhead in the conservative movement. The birth of ‘Big Government conservatism,’ and the role this oxymoronic set of ideas played in leading to the GOP’s present debacle, sounded the death-knell of the movement as a coherent set of ideas historically rooted in American traditions. Since 9/11, conservatism has reverted back to European-style absolutism, as evidenced by the Right’s embrace of the revisionist theory of the ‘unitary presidency,’ which elevates the president in wartime to monarchical status. That Bruce Fein, a leading conservative legal theorist of the Reagan era, is now calling for the impeachment of Dick Cheney, on the grounds that his office has been the intellectual nerve center of this administration’s bid to rule by edict, signals the end of the GOP coalition as we know it...

Comer Wilson is 66 years old with a long white beard, and he has not had to show his ID to buy beer in a while. But starting Sunday, he and everyone else in Tennessee will be required to show identification before buying beer in state stores — no matter how old the buyer appears. ‘It’s the stupidest law I ever heard of,’ Wilson said. ‘You can see I’m over 21.’ Tennessee is the first U.S. state to make universal carding mandatory, says the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association. However, the law does not apply to beer sales in bars and restaurants, and it does not cover wine and liquor...

The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman said Sunday he was ready to go to court if the White House resisted subpoenas for information on the firing of federal prosecutors. ‘If they don’t cooperate, yes I’ll go that far,’ said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. He was asked in a broadcast interview whether he would seek a congressional vote on contempt citations if President Bush did not comply. That move would push the matter to court...

Patrick Leahy Ready to Fight White House

"The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman said Sunday he was ready to go to court if the White House resisted Congressional subpoenas for information on the firing of federal prosecutors," reports Hope Yen of The Associated Press. While, John Nichols of the Nation writes, "In practice, this administration has operated above, or more precisely outside the law for more than six years. Without proper Congressional and judicial oversight, the White House has expanded the reach and authority of the executive branch far beyond the limits imagined by the founders. And it will continue to do so until Congress reasserts itself as a coequal branch of government."

Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), the chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, said Sunday he wants to ‘more widely’ use surveillance cameras across the country. ‘The Brits have got something smart going in England, and it was part of why I believe they were able to so quickly apprehend suspects in the terrorist acts over the weekend, and that is they have cameras all over London and other of their major cities,’ Lieberman said. ‘I think it’s just common sense to do that here much more widely,’ he added. ‘And of course, we can do it without compromising anybody’s real privacy.’ Lieberman lamented the ‘petty, partisan fighting’ in Congress and called on his colleagues to join together to upgrade the nation’s electronic surveillance capabilities....

" The Abused Are Only Iraqis !"

By K Gajendra Singh

The current direction of US led Western civilization , if you can call it so, is hurtling along retrograde evolution of human animal; away from the divine and spiritual moorings and identity as all religions discovered intuitively over millennia to a world of heedless and headless consumerism like an unerring laser to wards self destruction, Nuclear bombs and cold nights or climate catastrophes and apocalypse.
