An FDA-Created Health Crisis Circles the Globe
by Jeffrey Smith
Genetically modified crops are the result of a technology developed in the 1970s that allow genes from one species to be forced into the DNA of unrelated species. The inserted genes produce proteins that confer traits in the new plant, such as herbicide tolerance or pesticide production. The process of creating the GM crop can produce all sorts of side effects, and the plants contain proteins that have never before been in the food supply. In the US, new types of food substances are normally classified as food additives........

So They're Fond of Condemnations Are They?
If They Want A Condemnation We'll Give Them One
Once in a rare while a member of Congress will speak the plain truth without equivocation.
Action Page: http://www.usalone.com/condemnation.php
And when Pete Stark stood up to accuse the president of the United States of having no conscience about the deaths of the thousands of valiant troops he sent on a criminal war mission (for his "amusement" Stark said), while at the same time stealing the medicines out of the mouths of babes, not a word was voiced in protest by the Republicans present in the moment. There was only a mild generalized statement from the chair about avoiding personal references to the president.
And the reason there was not a peep of actual outrage when Stark spoke those indicting words (that they are so howling about now), is that they knew in what was left of their hearts, that it was all shamefully true.
How unlike the instant and unanimous reaction of the Democrats, when mean Jean Schmidt called John Murtha a coward for wanting to bring our troops home from the senseless slaughter, shouting at the chair to take her words down. And did Schmidt sincerely apologize for anything? Of course not. No Republican ever apologizes unless forced to. They just blame the media for accurately reporting their words, and blame our ears for hearing what they said and meant.
So let us be clear. What Pete Stark said was not over the line.
It was not over the top, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with Stark's choice of words.
We are talking about a president who, when he was not being obstinately surly, has snickered his way through every press conference since he lied us into invading Iraq. We are talking about a president who was making funny faces into the camera in the seconds before he went live on the air to announce the assault. And who, with the raucous approval of the entire media press corps, thought those lies were just a laugh riot in hindsight.
But in an attempt to again shut up any courageous voice of dissent, the right wing noise machine is trying after the fact to drum up messages of condemnation. So they want a condemnation do they? Well we'll give them one. This action page will send your personal message on the subject, "We condemn the entire Republican leadership."
Action Page: http://www.usalone.com/condemnation.php
We condemn the Republican leadership for mercilessly obstructing every congressional action of merit, even where that action was supported by the overwhelming majority of the American people, as in their engineering of the failure to override the veto of SCHIP
(latest poll 81% supporting).
We condemn the Republican leadership for resorting to filibusters at a historic record pace, since they lost the majorities in Congress which majorities they had done nothing with but abuse.
We condemn the Republican leadership for doing nothing to hold the White House accountable for their lies and shredding of the Constitution, through illegal wiretaps, torture and all, because of their greed for political power, not allowing even investigations in these matters.
We condemn the Republican leadership for using our troops as political props, while exploiting their suffering and death for the profit of their war profiteer contributors.
We condemn the Republican leadership for their cynical and sinful hypocrisy in being the most corrupt and scandalous pack of thieves who have ever held national office, now resigning at an unprecedented clip (or reneging on the promise to do so), all the while posturing to their gullible diehard supporters as the most righteous.
And we condemn the Republican leadership for seeking to hold others to a standard of decorum that they themselves grossly and repeatedly violate with the most hateful and false negative attack ads that have ever besmirched the American political discourse.
We tried ourselves to call our members of Congress on Friday by phone to offer messages of support for Stark. Randi Rhodes was giving out the toll free Congressional phone numbers on the air for this purpose, bless her heart. But the answering machines were all full, we presume mostly with those words of encouragement.
Action Page: http://www.usalone.com/condemnation.php
Well we need to do more. But the only way you are going to be able to get through to Washington this weekend is by email, which is what the action page above will send to all your members of Congress at once. We need every living, breathing activist we've got to submit that action page and tell them we've had it. Enough. You will not back us down with trumped up attacks on our heros. You're going to pass SCHIP again just the way it is, and make the override go the other way if necessary.
The action page sends nothing but the stated subject line. Add your own choice words about whatever issues you are most upset about, whether it's the occupation, SCHIP, no immunity for law breaking telecoms, no attack on Iran, or anything else.
We want their email inboxes stuffed by Monday morning. We want their latest fake outrage to backfire on them in the biggest way. We need to flood them with emails this weekend like this is the biggest issue that ever was. Because it is. And the issue is this . . .
We Will Not Back Down
Not an inch. Never again. We win this issue, we win them all. We the people are running the show from now on. Let's show them how we respond to their calls for condemnation of Stark. We condemn THEM, not Stark. In numbers like they've never seen. And then we can start passing some meaningful legislation around here, over the president's smirking objection if necessary.
If you want to do more, email all your friends from the same action page and encourage them to speak out too.
We almost got the first override the first time. With 81% of the American people on our side now, is the time to pour it on, the cable news talking fluff heads be damned.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

Wiederaufnahme von Abschiebungen in den Irak
Nach Angaben der innenpolitischen Sprecherin der Linksfraktion, Ulla Jelpke, sollen in Deutschland lebende irakische Flüchtlinge wieder in den Irak abgeschoben werden. "Sie mussten in den letzten Wochen wegen der zwischenzeitlichen Transport-Verweigerung der einzigen Fluggesellschaft, die Direktflüge von Deutschland in die autonome Region Kurdistan im Nordirak anbietet, ausgesetzt werden." Nachdem aber die kurdisch-irakische Zagros-Air "auf deutschen Druck hin" wieder zum Transport von abgeschobenen Flüchtlingen bereit sei, solle im nächsten Monat die erste Abschiebung stattfinden, kritisiert Jelpke.

Entwicklungshilfegelder für Ölmultis
Mehr als 200 Organisationen aus 56 Ländern, darunter die deutsche Organisation WEED, fordern von der Weltbank und anderen Internationalen Finanzinstitutionen, die Subventionen für die Ölindustrie zu beenden. Die Weltbank brauche einen "Ölwechsel", meinen die Nicht-Regierungsorganisationen. 2007 habe die International Finance Corporation (IFC) als Privatsektorarm der Weltbank den Öl- und Gaskonzernen mehr als 645 Millionen US-Dollar zur Verfügung gestellt. Das sei ein Anstieg um etwa 40 Prozent seit 2006. Die Organisationen fordern, dass Entwicklungshilfegelder, die angeblich der Armutsbekämpfung dienen sollen, nicht länger für Öl-Subventionen verwendet werden.

Fallibility + Unchecked Power = Trouble
Pioneer Press
by Peter Erlinder
At the same time the House and Senate are reconsidering the Bush administration’s claim that it needs the power to tap all foreign phone calls without asking a court to issue a warrant, the American people got concrete evidence why limits on executive-branch power are built into the Constitution. This month, the reality-based film ‘Rendition,’ in which an innocent person is seized in the U.S. and tortured by a friendly government on the order of a well-meaning intelligence expert played by Meryl Streep, was released just days before Congress publicly apologized for the real-life ‘rendition’ and torture of a Canadian citizen of Middle-Eastern descent, based on bad information. Just like the movie...

Kuhhandel um verkleidete EU-Verfassung
Die neue rechtliche Grundlage der EU wurde in Lissabon schneller beschlossen als erwartet
„Stimmen gegen Zustimmung lautete das Motto auf dem Lissabonner EU-Gipfel am Donnerstag und Freitag. Als Gegenleistung zur Erfüllung ihrer Forderungen sagten die "Quertreiber" in der 27er Runde Ja zum neuen Reformvertrag. Das Abkommen ist jedoch nichts anderes als die umetikettierte EU-Verfassung - mit all ihren Konsequenzen für Wirtschaft, Sozialpolitik und militaristischen Kurs der Europäischen Union…“ Artikel von Uwe H.

Reformvertrag - Vertrag von Lissabon - treibt EU-Militarisierung weiter voran
„Der in der gestrigen Nacht verabschiedete Reformvertrag ist ebenso wie sein Vorgänger, der EU-Verfassungsvertrag, ein militaristischer Vertrag.

Widerstand nicht zwecklos
Wer glaubt, beim Eintreffen der sich bereits deutlich abzeichnenden Krise das persönlich Erreichte ggf. mit rechtsstaatlichen Mitteln wirksam verteidigen zu können, der wird wohl enttäuscht werden. Im Schafspelz des EU-Reformvertrages hat sich bereits der EU-Verfassungs-Wolf wieder in den EU-Stall eingeschlichen und bedroht zunehmend die Souverenität der Mitgliedsstaaten.
In 6 kurzen Videosequenzen erläutert Univ. Prof. Dr. Karl Albrecht Schachtschneider, Professor für Öffentliches Recht an der Rechts- und Wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, die äußerst bedenklichen Aspekte des EU-Reformvertrages. -> http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Albrecht_Schachtschneider
Obwohl die Fragen an Prof. Schachtschneider die Auswirkungen auf Österreich zum Inhalt haben, liefern die Anworten erhellende Erkenntnisse für alle EU-Bürger ... und vor allem für all diejenigen desinformierten Medienvertreter, die der Wahrheit aus Angst vor dem Verlust ihrer Existenzsicherung nicht zum Durchbruch verhelfen können ... und manche leider auch nicht wollen.

How the State Leads People to Their Own Destruction
By Robert Higgs
Democratic political forms and rituals, such as elections and formal administrative proceedings, disguise this class exploitation and trick the masses into the false belief that the government's operation yields them net benefits. In the most extreme form of misapprehension, the people at large become convinced that, owing to democracy, they themselves "are the government."
