Iraq deployment linked to oil: Nelson

By ABC News - Australia

Defence Minister Brendan Nelson says securing the world's oil supply is one of the Federal Government's considerations as it decides how long to keep troops in Iraq.

Vor allem von der "Datenverarbeitung in privater Hand" wüchsen derzeit "massive Bedrohungen der informationellen Selbstbestimmung" heran, schreibt Hassemer in einem Beitrag für die "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung". Als Beispiele nannte der Verfassungsrichter "Intimitätsverletzungen durch private Fotos und Videos im Internet".

Commerzbank, Siemens etc.: Merz und Riesenhuber unter den Großverdienern im deutschen Bundestag

Dass der ehemalige Unionsfraktionschef Friedrich Merz (51) zu den Gutverdienern unter den Bundestagsabgeordneten gehören würde, war angesichts der bekannten Liste seiner Nebentätigkeiten seit langem klar. Seit Donnerstag hat die Öffentlichkeit zumindest grobe Anhaltspunkte dafür, wie viel Geld Merz quasi nebenher noch verdient. In dem dreistufigen System der Offenlegung von Einkünften - Stufe 1: 1000 bis 3500 Euro, Stufe 2: höhere Einnahmen bis 7000 Euro, Stufe 3: mehr als 7000 Euro - der Abgeordneten, dominiert bei Merz die Stufe drei. Allein für seine Mandate in Top-Gremien von acht Unternehmen kassierte Merz im Jahr 2006 mindestens 56000 Euro.

Pressemitteilung

Nach dem Rückzug von Rotgrün aus der Kohlekraft: ödp regt jetzt den Bezug von Pflanzenöl aus Jatropha-Nuss-Plantagen an

Mit ihrem Stadtratsantrag schlägt die ödp erneut eine umweltfreundliche Energiequelle vor, die den Stadtwerken München langfristige Versorgungssicherheit und Gewinne gewährleisten kann.

Der Originaltext des Stadtrats-Antrag der ödp München vom 05. Juli 2007:

Die Stadtwerke München prüfen Investitionen in Jatropha-Plantagen zur Gewinnung von Pflanzenöl

Begründung:

Aus der Jatropha-Nuss lässt sich effizient und in großem Maßstab Pflanzenöl gewinnen, das zur Strom- und Wärmeerzeugung in Blockheizkraftwerken und als Kraftstoff verwendet werden kann.

Erdöl, Erdgas, Kohle und Uran werden stetig knapper und teurer. In diesen Jahren wird das weltweite Öl-Fördermaximum erreicht ("Peakoil"). Danach wird die Ölförderung jährlich um voraussichtlich 3 bis 8 Prozent zurückgehen. Beim Kampf um das restliche Öl sind internationale Konflikte und Kriege zu erwarten. Einen Ausweg bieten Investitionen in erneuerbare Energien, darunter auch der Anbau von Ölpflanzen wie Raps, Sonnenblumen, Soja und die Jatropha-Nuss.

Da Deutschland zu klein und zu dicht besiedelt ist, reichen die Flächen nicht aus, um neben Nahrungsmitteln ausreichend Pflanzenöl zu erzeugen. Deshalb muss man sich rechtzeitig um Investitionen bemühen, die die Energieversorgung gewährleisten.

Amerikanische und chinesische Firmen sichern sich bereits in globalem Maßstab Agrarflächen zum Anbau von Ölpflanzen. Dabei wird vor allem Regenwald abgeholzt und es werden auf fruchtbaren Böden Monokulturen zur Erzeugung von Treibstoff angelegt. Nicht nur aus Gründen des Arten- und des Klimaschutzes muss der Regenwald aber erhalten werden, und fruchtbare Ackerböden werden für die Nahrungsmittelproduktion gebraucht.

Da die Jatropha-Nuss so genügsam ist, dass sie auch in den reichlich vorhandenen Steppen- und Savannengebieten, auf kargen und degradierten Böden angebaut werden kann und nur sehr wenig Wasser braucht, führt ihr Anbau nicht zur Rodung von Regenwäldern und konkurriert auch nicht mit dem Nahrungsmittelanbau. Im Gegenteil: Der Presskuchen, der bei der Gewinnung von Öl anfällt, kann als biologischer Dünger genutzt werden, verbessert die Bodenqualität und ermöglicht den gleichzeitigen Anbau von Lebensmitteln und hochwertigen Futtergräsern auf bisher unproduktiven Böden.

Weil auf Jatropha-Plantagen langjährig Kohlendioxyd gebunden wird, können die Stadtwerke entsprechende CO2-Zertifikate verkaufen.

Jatropha-Nüsse können nicht maschinell geerntet werden, deshalb entstehen auf den Pflanzungen Arbeitsplätze, die vielen Landwirten in Entwicklungsländern neben dem Anbau von Lebensmitteln eine sichere zusätzliche Einnahmequelle bieten.

Eine Investition in den Anbau von Jatropha-Nüssen dient also neben der Sicherung der künftigen Energieversorgung und dem Umweltschutz auch der Verringerung von Hunger und Armut.

Liberty For All
by R. Lee Wrights

As the most-high holy day for patriotic freedom lovers across the country draws nigh, I find myself wondering whether or not the spirit of 1776 has succumbed to indifference. Has the revolutionary fire that once burned hot in the heart of Americans been reduced to a smoldering ember? Have we lost the necessary desire to question authority that forever perpetuates individual freedom? Have we become such poor caretakers that the tree of liberty now is wilted and sagging dangerously close to the ground? Please say it isn’t so... (written 07/02; posted 07/04/07)

AntiWar.Com
by Justin Raimondo

07/04/07

In commuting Scooter Libby’s sentence so that the vice president’s former chief of staff won’t spend a minute in jail, the president is sending a message, one that, while going out to multiple recipients, consists of a sentiment succinctly summed up in two words: Screw you! The first recipient is the general public, which is being disabused of the notion that America is a country without an aristocracy. … While the rest of us — the serfs — are at the mercy of such laws as the PATRIOT Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the extensive surveillance and snooping authorized by a Congress that has betrayed its constitutional mandate, our rulers — and especially the philosopher-kings of the neoconservative sect — are exempt...

The quality of mercy is strained

Slate

What’s stunning about President Bush’s commutation of Scooter Libby’s sentence, if you’re a criminal defense lawyer, isn’t that it was politically motivated. Or that it tramples on principles of equal justice. Or even that it is the latest in a long string of Bush administration assaults on the rule of law. Rather, what’s astonishing is that the factors Bush relied on in commuting Libby’s sentence are the same ones that the administration has aggressively sought to preclude judges from considering when imposing sentences on everyone else...

Why did Bush commute Scooter Libby’s sentence?

Mother Jones
by Clara Jeffery

07/02/07

Bush’s approval ratings are in the toilet. And there’s no good news for the GOP in sight. So why would the president decide to commute the sentence of I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby, who was convicted of obstructing justice, perjury, and making false statements in the Plamegate affair, now and not at the end of his term, when everybody expected it? After all a Cable News Network/Opinion Research survey conducted after Libby’s March 6 conviction found that 69% of voters are against a pardon (though commuting is only perhaps a first step toward that); only 18% were in favor of a pardon. The answer seems to be that the base demanded it...

"And Walton didn't disappoint, proving to be exactly the kind of no-nonsense judge Bush was looking for. Until now. When erasing former White House aide I.

Nach Angaben der Reaktoraufsicht war es bei der Schnellabschaltung nach dem Trafo-Brand am 28. Juni "durch ein unplanmäßiges Öffnen von zwei Sicherheits- und Entlastungsventilen zu einem schnellen Druck- und Füllstandsabfall im Reaktordruckbehälter" gekommen, in dem sich die Brennelemente befinden. Außerdem war eine von mehreren Speisewasserpumpen ausgefallen. Offenbar hat man gerade noch mal Glück gehabt: "Es war trotzdem jederzeit genügend Wasser über den Brennstäben", sagte Ministeriumssprecher Oliver Breuer.

Verschleiern, verzögern, dementieren... Und letztlich immer wieder die unheilvolle Bestätigung, dass die Atomkraft so leicht nicht beherrschbar ist. Nicht für Vattenfall, nicht für andere. Deshalb kann es nur einen konsequenten Schritt geben: Abschalten. Davon geht in Deutschland kein Licht aus.

Vermischung von Polizei und Militär ist grundgesetzwidrig

Katina Schubert

Zur Forderung mehrerer Unions-Innenminister, die Bundeswehr auch im Innern einzusetzen, erklärt die stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende Katina Schubert:

Die Bekämpfung des Terrorismus ist Angelegenheit der Strafverfolgungsbehörden und damit der Polizei. Sollte die Polizei nach Auffassung der Innenminister mit dieser Aufgabe überfordert sein, gleicht das einem Offenbarungseid. Nach Bundeskanzlerin Merkel hat Bundesinnenminister Schäuble nun Unterstützung bei den Unions-Innenministern der Länder gesucht und gefunden. Seit Monaten versucht er unter dem Vorwand der Terrorismusbekämpfung den Einsatz der Bundeswehr im Innern hoffähig zu machen. Zum G8-Gipfel wurde gezeigt, wie so ein fragwürdiger Einsatz aussehen könnte. Strafverfolgung und Prävention sind Aufgabe von Justiz und Polizei, nicht des Militärs. Eine Vermischung von Polizei und Militär ist grundgesetzwidrig. Auf die zunehmende Militarisierung der Außenpolitik, die wir bekämpfen, darf nicht noch die Militarisierung der Zivilgesellschaft folgen. Die permanente Forderung nach Bundeswehreinsätzen im Innern verunsichert die Bürgerinnen und Bürger und soll ein gesellschaftliches Klima für entsprechende Gesetzesänderungen schaffen. Mit Terrorabwehr hat das ebenso wenig zu tun wie die ständigen Bestrebungen nach allumfassender Überwachung der Bürgerinnen und Bürger. Eine entsprechende Verfassungsänderung ist mit der LINKEN nicht zu machen. Wir brauchen keine neuen Notstandgesetze.

Artikel zu Campact und Interview mit Ulrich Beck

Wie Campact wirkt, das erläutert ein Artikel über Online-Aktivismus und ein Interview mit dem Soziologen Ulrich Beck in dem neuen Band des Suhrkamp-Verlags "Und jetzt? - Politik, Protest und Propaganda". Unter anderem geht es darum, wie wir die verschäften Transparenzregeln für Politiker-Nebeneinkünfte erstritten und die Finanzierung zweier Atomkraftwerke im bulgarischen Belene durch deutsche Banken verhinderten.

Many of you have written to ask us when we were going to call for the impeachment of Bush as well as Cheney. Of course we have done Bush impeachment action pages before, and were focusing on Cheney on the premise that he was not only the least popular, but also the most guilty. But now Bush has thrown himself in the middle of the worst of the Cheney scandals, and so we have launched a new action page calling for the impeachment of them both.

IMPEACH BOTH: http://www.usalone.com/impeach_both.php

If you were looking to submit something to reiterate your call for impeachment, please submit the page above as this is a NEW joint action.

The ink was barely dry on the order DENYING bail on appeal to convicted White House felon Scooter Libby, before president Bush intervened to "commute" his sentence. It is very well possible that NEVER before in the history of American jurisprudence had anyone sentenced to prison received such a commutation BEFORE serving a single day of that sentence.

Cheney and Bush conspired together to give Libby an escape hatch. This was their contingency plan all along, to game our legal system with every frivolous defense imaginable, knowing all along they would subvert justice in the end to whatever extent necessary. Who are the people celebrating this gross miscarriage of justice, as they dance on the grave of our Constitution?

IMPEACH BOTH: http://www.usalone.com/impeach_both.php

The Department of Justice's own guidelines specify that to apply for a commutation a convict MUST first have started to serve their sentence AND have abandoned all appeals. Scooter Libby has done neither. Bush has again abused his office to shield Cheney and himself from further exposure of their own impeachable offenses, as would happen were Libby finally compelled to testify truthfully, as was Judith Miller by her own incarceration.

This is nothing but a weasel pardon, a premeditated obstruction of justice. Indeed, there is nothing to prevent Bush from further granting Libby a full pardon in January of 2009, as he no doubt PLANS on doing, UNLESS both he and Cheney are impeached first. More than sufficient evidence of their constitutional crimes is already a matter of public record. There is no oversight they have not unilaterally defied. And now this, from an execution happy governor of Texas who once MOCKED a woman who begged him only for life in prison.

Bush asserts that the Libby prison sentence was excessive. But will he change the law and the guidelines which fairly call for the sentence handed down based on the severity of Libby's crimes? No he will not. Instead with the equivalent of a signing statement he has again selectively nullified the will of the people and their representatives in Congress. The only thing excessive here is the way Cheney and Bush continue to shred the Constitution.

Once again there has been no accountability. Whatever fine was left in place will be paid from the millions and millions in Libby's defense slush fund, or else he get some fat consultant job from a right wing contributor who that just happens to pay him the entire sum and more. He'll probably make a tidy profit on the whole affair.

But this is all yet more gasoline on the fire of the rapidly expanding impeachment movement. Votes in the National Cheney Impeachment Poll were already more than 80,000 as to Cheney standing alone. Their administration is a walking constitutional crisis that can no longer be avoided.

IMPEACH BOTH: http://www.usalone.com/impeach_both.php

There is one and only one remedy, that can't be vetoed, signed away or tossed out by the courts, and that is impeachment. Congress needs to hear from enough of us all at one time until they understand that. Look at how quickly Congress did an about face on the immigration bill when they were flooded with calls and emails. That is what must happen also here.

And then they will most surely act.

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.

Take Action

The trees of Sequoia National Forest are legendary, the largest in the world. This forest is nothing short of spectacular, and deserves our highest protection. With more than 1,500 miles of roads already in place on the forest, it's quite surprising that the Forest Service would be proposing to open more than 5,500 acres of roadless areas to off-road vehicles, including the Dry Meadow/Long Valley area.

To preserve the wild character and fish and wildlife habitat of this forest it is essential that no new motorized trails be allowed.
