In a sign that U.N. Security Council-based diplomacy is losing steam, a number of sources are reporting that a military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities may be imminent. France and America also are pushing for tighter economic sanctions against Tehran, without U.N. approval.

Speaking in February 2003, a month before the invasion, Mr Bush told his Spanish counterpart that US forces would be in Baghdad by the end of March regardless of whether the United Nations authorised the use of force.

An Army sniper is taught to kill people "calmly and deliberately," even when they pose no immediate danger to him. "A sniper," Army Field Manual 23-10 goes on to state, "must not be susceptible to emotions such as anxiety or remorse."

Joe Lieberman wrote the resolution authorizing the invasion of Iraq that was passed with Democratic support on October 11, 2002. Lieberman's new resolution setting up a Bush-Cheney invasion of Iran passed by 76 to 22 with Democratic backing on September 26, 2007. These are two dates that will live in infamy in the 21st century.

Geoffrey Millard reports for Truthout: "a major factor in the end of the Vietnam war was the resistance within the armed forces that all but halted the ground war. While at the Veterans For Peace conference this year I spoke with the next generation of GI resisters, who are being compared with the soldiers successful at shutting down the military in Vietnam."

Die Regierung der Niederlande hat entschieden, die Verordnungen, auf denen die Zulassung der NEDAP-Wahlcomputer beruhen, zurückzuziehen. Damit wird in den Niederlanden nun wieder mit Papier und Stift gewählt. Berlin, Amsterdam (27.09.2007) - Die Entscheidung erfolgte als Reaktion auf den Bericht einer unabhängigen Untersuchungskommission zur Reform des Wahlverfahrens. Die in den Niederlanden hergestellten und dort fast flächendeckend verwendeten Wahlcomputer der Firma NEDAP sind praktisch baugleich mit den in Deutschland verwendeten Systemen. Durch eine gemeinsam vom Chaos Computer Club und der niederländischen Stiftung "Wij vertrouwen stemcomputers niet" durchgeführte Analyse war im Oktober 2006 bekannt geworden, dass die NEDAP-Wahlcomputer einfach zu manipulieren sind und damit die Wahl mit geringem Entdeckungsrisiko gefälscht werden kann.Aus den vielschichtigen Problemen hinsichtlich möglicher Manipulationsmethoden an Wahlcomputern in den Niederlanden und Deutschland und dem daraus folgende Verlust des Wählervertrauens in die Computer hat die niederländische Regierung nun also die Konzequenz gezogen.

"Dass selbst im Mutterland der NEDAP-Wahlcomputer die Bedenken über die bekannt gewordenen prinzipiellen Probleme mit Computer-Wahlen zu entschiedenem Handeln der Regierung führen, verdeutlicht, wie ernst die Situation ist. Die Bundesregierung sollte die niederländische Entscheidung zum Anlass nehmen, die Zulassung der Wahlcomputer noch vor den Landtagswahlen in Hessen und Niedersachsen zurückzuziehen, auch um eine internationale Blamage zu vermeiden", sagte Dirk Engling, Sprecher des Chaos Computer Club.

Bei den Landtagswahlen am 27. Januar in Hessen und Niedersachsen sollen nach derzeitigem Stand der Dinge wiederum NEDAP-Wahlcomputer zum Einsatz kommen. Da in den Niederlanden tausende NEDAP-Wahlcomputer nicht mehr verwendet werden dürfen, steht zu erwarten, dass clevere Geschäftemacher versuchen werden, die Wahlcomputer billig an deutsche Gemeinden zu verkaufen, mit dem Argument, sie seien hier ja noch zugelassen.

Dies verdeutlicht, dass nun ein schnelles Handeln der deutschen Regierung erforderlich ist. Der Chaos Computer Club fordert daher die Bundesregierung auf, die Zulassung der in Deutschland noch immer eingesetzen Wahlcomputer der Firma NEDAP sofort zurückzuziehen und den § 35 Bundeswahlgesetz, der die Stimmabgabe mit "Wahlgeräten" erlaubt, ersatzlos zu streichen.

Die Frage, ob die Verwendung von Wahlcomputern in Deutschland mit den Grundsätzen eines freien, gleichen, geheimen, manipulationsfesten und vom Bürger nachvollziehbaren Wahlverfahrens vereinbar ist, beschäftigt derzeit auch das Bundesverfassungsgericht. Der Chaos Computer Club hat dazu eine eine ausführliche Stellungnahme abgegeben.

Plans for a mobile phone mast at a north Watford school have created a "deep unease" among councillors.

Nonetheless Watford's development control committee has approved plans for the new structure, at Orchard School, Gammons Lane, to replace an existing mast.

The decision will allow a new service provider, H3G, to operate from the site, which is already used by Orange and O2.

What disturbs me about the pro-war position of so-called libertarians, and their fierce defense of war itself as a legitimate means for a greater collective good, is that it is so contradictory it beats every available schoolbook example of what is a contradiction. Individual rights are sacrificed in order to save individual rights and our ‘way of life.’ They say ‘we’ must do something ‘now,’ yet the persons arguing this point are certainly not going to do anything. They are so busy writing blog posts defending the killings in distant countries they simply don’t have time to do the killing themselves. … Why this interest in people they don’t know dying for the sake of protecting rights that are already being abolished in every western nation? I simply don’t see how anyone can claim to be a proponent of individual rights while advocating wars where the lives of some individuals are forcefully sacrificed for the collective good and freedom of others...

The Free Liberal
by US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)

09/27/07

After the current turmoil in the markets, I was hoping that new Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke would see the big picture and act judiciously. Instead he signaled, with an aggressive rate cut, that we can expect a continuation of the monetary policies that got us here to begin with. Alan Greenspan released his memoir this week explaining his policies and decisions in the wake of the irrational exuberance they fueled. His successor should see that it is now time for a change of policy that addresses the root of our troubles. But instead of seeing an inflation problem, the Federal Reserve sees a liquidity problem, which is a little like extinguishing a forest fire with gasoline...

The American Conservative
by Paul W. Schroeder

09/24/07

Two major facts must be recognized at the outset: the fire in Iraq (though not Afghanistan) could have been prevented, and the American government deliberately decided against doing so. These are not controversial assertions but undeniable facts. Other questions about preventing fires at this time remain debatable — whether the attacks of 9/11 might have been averted or blunted by better intelligence and quicker action, whether the Clinton administration could have weakened al-Qaeda earlier, whether a more determined campaign in Afghanistan could have destroyed al-Qaeda and prevented further terrorism. But this much is certain: first, the Bush administration, supported by most of the Congress and the American people, decided to treat an alleged potential threat of explosion emanating from Iraq as more imminent and dangerous than the actual fire burning in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and elsewhere; and second, it chose against resistance at home and widespread opposition from the international community not to use existing, standard methods of fire prevention...

The lunch lines weren’t moving fast enough for Linda Stoll, head of food programs at the Boulder Valley, Colo., school district. Because of that, kids had barely enough time to sit and eat before the lunch period was over. So, last year, Stoll began looking for ways to speed up the queue. She discovered that many students, especially kindergarteners, can’t remember their six-digit ID number, which they’re required to type into keypads at the end of lunch lines. She then found out that there was technology that would allow a scanner to identify a kid qualified for lunch with the swipe of a finger, moving him or her quickly along. It would help kids who regularly forget their lunch money, and it would potentially remove some of the stigma faced by children who receive special tickets for free or reduced lunch. She proposed the idea, believing it would be the perfect solution. It turned out to be the perfect storm...

Mountaintop Mining Called "Genocide" of Appalachia

Andrea Hopkins, Reuters: "Coal mining has sustained generations of Americans in Appalachia, an isolated and often impoverished region stretching across America's eastern interior.... But while the US appetite for coal has long bumped against the environmental impact of mining, the growth of mountaintop removal has divided residents as never before."

It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe."

Of the two problems (the reality of Iraq, the potential of Iran), Iran is by far the more important."

Report Says Hussein Was Open to Exile Before 2003 Invasion

Karen DeYoung and Michael Abramowitz report for The Washington Post: "Less than a month before the US invasion of Iraq, Saddam Hussein signaled that he was willing to go into exile as long as he could take with him $1 billion and information on weapons of mass destruction, according to a report of a Feb. 22, 2003, meeting between President Bush and his Spanish counterpart published by a Spanish newspaper yesterday." Also, Ernesto Ekaizer reports for El Pais Spain that "During a long conversation with then Spanish president Jose Maria Aznar, held Saturday February 22, 2003 at the Crawford, Texas Ranch, Bush made clear that the moment had arrived to remove Saddam. 'Two weeks remain. In two weeks, we will be militarily ready. We will be in Baghdad by the end of March,' he said to Aznar."

RESIDENTS IN Fethard are calling on the local GAA Club to pull its ties with O2 and to support the removal of the company's mobile phone at St. Mogue's.

The O2 mobile phone mast at St. Mogue's GAA pitch is still in place, despite an enforcement order being placed on O2 Communications by Wexford County Council.

Residents in the area are now hoping that Wexford County Council will refuse planning permission for the retention of the O2 mast on the basis that 41 personal objections have been submitted to the council and 500 signatures were submitted to the Committee of St. Mogue's GAA Club.

Are you willing to explain this to them, human to human? The US House voted overwhelmingly for an expanded children's health care program (SCHIP), 265-159. President George W. Bush has said he will veto any expansion of the program, and supporters fear they will fall short of votes necessary to override Bush's veto."

Blackwater is now the focus of investigations in both Baghdad and Washington over a Sept. 16 shooting in which at least 11 Iraqis were killed. Beyond that episode, the company has been involved in cases in which its personnel fired weapons while guarding State Department officials in Iraq at least twice as often per convoy mission as security guards working for other American security firms, the officials said."

Anträge zum 2. ver.di-Bundeskongress im Block B. Beschäftigungs- und Arbeitsmarktpolitik – ver.di für 3. Arbeitsmarkt?

„Existenzsichernde Arbeit und öffentlich geförderte Beschäftigung statt Workfare!“

Antrag B 11 des Bundeserwerbslosenausschusses http://bundeskongress2007.verdi.de/antraege_beschluesse/antrag.html?cat=B&sort=11

Aus dem Text: „…ver.di fordert die Umwandlung der Arbeitsgelegenheiten in der Mehraufwandsvariante (so genannten 1-Euro-Jobs) in existenzsichernde, sozialversicherte, arbeitsrechtlich geschützte, tariflich vergütete Beschäftigungsverhältnisse. Die Mittel, die für die "1-Euro-Jobs" aufgewendet werden, sollen zur Finanzierung von öffentlich geförderten Beschäftigungsverhältnissen am sogen. 3. Arbeitsmarkt verwendet werden. Dabei soll die Eingliederung in den regulären Arbeitsmarkt (so genannten 1. Arbeitsmarkt) lediglich ein mögliches, aber kein grundsätzlich erforderliches Ziel sein…“ Heikel ist dabei der Umstand, dass Erwerbslose diesen Antrag einbringen, während die Auswirkungen dieses als Einverständnis anzusehenden Antrags in der Hauptsache Millionen von Beschäftigten treffen würden. Denn die noch dieses Jahr in Kraft tretenden neuen SGB Gesetzesänderungen basieren auf dem Gutachten der „Arbeitsgruppe Arbeitsmarkt“. Dieses sieht neben der Einführung verschärfter Sanktion für ALG II Bezieher, Regelsatzkürzung, Einschränkungen der Anrechnung vom Zuverdienst, einen flächendeckenden undifferenzierten Mindestlohns von ca. 4,50 Euro vor, der darüber hinaus an tarifliche bzw. ortsübliche Bezahlung angepasst würde. Die Einführung eines Mindestlohns von 4,50 € über den 3. AM würde damit die 7,50 € Forderung der Gewerkschaften unterlaufen. In keinem der Nachbarländer gibt es 2 Sorten von Mindestlohn

In ähnliche, die Hartz-Gesetze lediglich besänftigende Richtung, weisen übrigens auch die Anträge

Arbeitsmarkt bleibt große Herausforderung. Antrag B 1 vom Bundesvorstand http://bundeskongress2007.verdi.de/antraege_beschluesse/antrag.html?cat=B&sort=1

Für eine bessere Existenzsicherung und eine bessere Grundsicherung. Antrag B 36 vom Bundeserwerbslosenausschuss http://bundeskongress2007.verdi.de/antraege_beschluesse/antrag.html?cat=B&sort=36

Die Empfehlung der Antragskommission lautet: „Annahme“ Dadurch erledigt sind folgende Anträge B 012, B 013, B 014, B 015, B 016, B 017, B 018, B 019, B 020, B 021, B 022, B 023, B 024, B 025, B 026, B 027, B 033 (Ziffer 2).

Als erledigt gelten die Formulierungen des Antragsblocks gegen
1-Euro-Jobs. Dazu gehören u.a.:

Anträge gegen 1-Euro-Jobs

Weg mit 1-Euro-Jobs. Antrag B 12 der Bundesfachbereichskonferenz 12 http://bundeskongress2007.verdi.de/antraege_beschluesse/antrag.html?cat=B&sort=12

Abschaffung der "1-Euro-Jobs" (Arbeitsgelegenheiten mit MAE gemäß § 16 Absatz 3 SGB II). Antrag B 13 der Landesbezirkskonferenz Baden-Württemberg http://bundeskongress2007.verdi.de/antraege_beschluesse/antrag.html?cat=B&sort=13

1-Euro-Jobs sind zu verbieten. Antrag B 16 der Landesbezirkskonferenz Bayern http://bundeskongress2007.verdi.de/antraege_beschluesse/antrag.html?cat=B&sort=16

und viele weitere ähnlich lautende Anträge, einzusehen im Block B. Beschäftigungs- und Arbeitsmarktpolitik http://bundeskongress2007.verdi.de/antraege_beschluesse/antraege.html?cat=B

Die Problematik: Der Antrag B 011 - im Namen der Personengruppe Erwerbslose! - enthält dabei eine bedingungslose Zustimmung zur Einführung des 3. Arbeitsmarktes, dem Anträge zur Ablehnung der 1 € Jobs nachgegliedert sind. Mit der Zustimmung zu Antrag B 011 (ebenso der Anträge B 001 und B 036) würden die Delegierten des Bundeskongresses die Weiterführung von Hartz IV in verschärften Formen bestätigen. Die bislang erfolgten und noch kommenden Zusatzgesetze zur Entwürdigung, Entrechtung und Enteignung aller Hatz IV Betroffenen bleiben beim 3. AM bestehen, wobei eine Ausweitung von Sanktionen vorgesehen ist. Beim Bundeserwerbslosenkongress vom 21.-23.Februar wurde diesbezüglicher Antrag von ca. 2/3 der Delegierten abgelehnt und zur Überarbeitung dem BEA übergeben….

Daher gibt es den Aufruf, Protestschreiben an alle Bundeskongress-VertreterInnen und wegen der Dringlichkeit auch an Frank Bsirske zu richten. Denn ob die Delegierten des Bundeskongresses wollen oder nicht, sie müssen die Anträge vorbringen:

Frank Bsirske: frank.bsirske@verdi.de
Belinda Brechbilder: brechbilder@gmx.de
Ulla Pingel: ulla.pingel@gmx.de
Bitte unbedingt Kopie an: Anne Eberle: a.eberle@dokom.net

A FIGHT against a 40ft phone mast installed despite being refused planning permission will tomorrow be stepped up as Bolton Council serve an enforcement notice.

The council will post the notice to T-Mobile requring the firm to remove the mast from the Market Street precinct in Little Lever within 28 days.

It was put up on Sunday despite a decision by the council's planning committee in April to reject the application.

The council's move comes after company agents refused to remove the mast voluntarily.

But according to residents the meeting served only to exacerbate existing tensions.

Rebirth of Reason
by Tibor R. Machan

09/26/07

When I first arrived on these shores, back in 1956, the idea that America is a free country had at least some rhetorical currency, backed by frequent enough association between the country’s founding documents and the desirability and undesirability of various public policies. Just as Abraham Lincoln, so many others who addressed what kind of laws the country ought to have tended still to invoke the authority of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and ideas from the Founders and Framers. Not that it was all hunky dory with the country then or, indeed, before. But the prevalence of ideas of basic rights — the kind that marked out one’s personal, private dominion — and liberty — of the negative sort, freedom from intrusions by others, including governments — was in plenty of evidence in public discussions, debates in Congress and so forth. Today there seems no one — other than the lone Texas Representative Ron Paul — on the political scene who is concerned with the freedom of American citizens...

Whatever happens over the next 16 months, President Bush will leave office having presided over one of the fastest accumulations of government debt in the history of the United States. During his time in office, federal debt held by the public -– Washington’s equivalent of a credit-card balance -– will have increased by more than 50 percent, to about $5.5 trillion. Uncle Sam will be paying interest on that sum for years to come. Much of that borrowed money paid for military expenses after the 9/11 attacks -– spending unanticipated when Mr. Bush took office.
