McCain's Miserable Record on Hurricane Katrina

Jonathan Stein writes for Mother Jones: "John McCain's Time for Action tour arrived in New Orleans Thursday, where McCain toured the hurricane-damaged 9th Ward and criticized both the Bush Administration and Congress for its handling of the disaster. Lamenting the pace of recovery, McCain said, 'I want to assure you it will never happen again in this country. You have my commitment and my promise.'"

The War on Terror Feeding Frenzy

Ian S. Lustick writes for The Hill: "Nearly seven years after Sept. 11, 2001, what accounts for the vast discrepancy between the terrorist threat facing America and the scale of our response? Why, absent any evidence of a serious domestic terror threat, is the War on Terror so enormous, so all-encompassing, and still expanding?"

The War on Terror feeding frenzy

Intellectual Conservative
by Ian S. Lustick

05/28/08

Nearly seven years after September 11, 2001, what accounts for the vast discrepancy between the terrorist threat facing America and the scale of our response? Why, absent any evidence of a serious domestic terror threat, is the War on Terror so enormous, so all-encompassing, and still expanding? The fundamental answer is that al Qaeda’s most important accomplishment was not to hijack our planes, but to hijack our political system. For a multitude of politicians, interest groups, professional associations, corporations, media organizations, universities, local and state governments and federal agency officials, the War on Terror is now a major profit center, a funding bonanza, and a set of slogans and sound bites to be inserted into budget, project, grant and contract proposals. For the country as a whole, however, it has become a maelstrom of waste and worry that distracts us from more serious problems...

Gauweiler kündigt Verfassungsklage gegen EU-Vertrag an

Nach der Abstimmung des Bundestages über den EU-Reformvertrag hat der CSU-Abgeordnete Peter Gauweiler eine Klage vor dem Bundesverfassungsgericht gegen das Vertragswerk angekündigt. Gauweiler, der im Parlament mit Nein votiert hatte, sagte der "Saarbrücker Zeitung": "Was Brüssel jetzt an Kompetenzen bekommen soll, ist mit unseren demokratischen Prinzipien nicht vereinbar". Er werde wie schon 2005 bei der EU-Verfassung das Bundesverfassungsgericht um eine Überprüfung bitten, falls es nicht noch bei den Beratungen im Bundesrat Änderungen und Klarstellungen in seinem Sinne gebe. In der Unions-Fraktion habe er deswegen bisher keine Kritik gehört. "Ich habe durchaus das Gefühl, dass viele entweder meine Bedenken heimlich teilen, oder aber froh sind, dass einer das vor Gericht klärt". Gauweiler begründete seine Haltung mit dem Kompetenzverlust des Bundesverfassungsgerichtes gegenüber dem Europäischen Gerichtshof und beispielsweise auch mit der Übertragung der Entscheidungen über "Kampfeinsätze im Rahmen der Krisenbewältigung" auf die Europäische Union.

Is war with Iran imminent?

AntiWar.Com
by Justin Raimondo

04/28/08

The shooting has already started in the Persian Gulf — and chances are we’ll be at war with Iran before President Bush’s term is up. An American ship under contract with the U.S. Navy — the Western Venture — claims it was in international waters when Iranian speedboats approached and failed to answer radio calls. Shots were fired on the American side. Iran denies the whole thing. Yet you’ll recall that in the last incident, involving the capture of British sailors, the story about being in international waters was the same — except, it turns out, they weren’t in international waters, but in disputed waters, just as we speculated in this space. There’s no reason to expect anything different this time. Clearly, the U.S. and Britain are trying to trigger a new conflict with the most brazen provocations, and they don’t really care how it happens — only that it does...

Food Riots Erupt Worldwide

Anuradha Mittal writes for AlterNet, "Over the last few decades, the United States, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have used their leverage to impose devastating policies on developing countries. By requiring countries to open up their agriculture market to giant multinational companies, by insisting that countries dismantle their marketing boards and by persuading them to specialize in exportable cash crops such as coffee, cocoa, cotton and even flowers, they have driven the poorest countries into a downward spiral."

America’s apartheid mentality toward the world

Christian Science Monitor
by Helena Cobban

04/25/08

What kind of relationship do Americans want to build with the world’s 6 billion other people in the years ahead? This question is urgent, since the past seven years have seen an unprecedented drop in our country’s global favorability rating. In today’s hyper-connected world, that has huge consequences for Washington’s ability to protect American interests. To fix this problem, many experts -– and even the presidential candidates -– are promoting agendas to rebuild America’s position of world leadership. They are right to try to repair our image abroad. But their focus on ‘American leadership’ is misplaced. A smarter approach would be for us to build a new relationship with the world that embraces the key principles of human equality and mutual respect among all peoples. Starting to see themselves as ‘merely’ equal to everyone else may seem slightly scary to some Americans. But history should assure them...

Crisis in Food Prices Threatens Worldwide Starvation, Is it Genocide?

Hence gold is at record levels with oil keeping the same pace. How else to explain, for instance, the doubling of the price of rice in Asian markets in less than two months?

22 Jahre nach Tschernobyl: ödp ruft zur Teilnahme an Kundgebung am 26. 04 auf!

Genau am 26. April jährt sich die Atomreaktorkatastrophe von Tschernobyl. Aus diesem Anlass ruft die Münchner ödp alle Münchner Bürgerinnen und Bürger zur Teilnahme an der Gedenk- und Mahnveranstaltung von David gegen Goliath „Wir vergessen nicht – vom Atom- zum Solarzeitalter“ auf. Die Veranstaltung findet auf dem Münchner Marienplatz von 12.oo bis 14.oo Uhr statt.

Jüngsten Äusserungen aus CSU-Kreisen ist zu entnehmen, dass sie - zusammen mit den vier großen Strommonopolisten - das energiepolitische Rad zurückdrehen und der Atomkraft zu einer Renaissance verhelfen wollen. Trotz der in regelmässigen Abständen auftretenden Störfälle wird von den Politikern gebetsmühlenartig die Sicherheit deutscher Atomkraftwerke propagiert. Vollkommen ausser acht gelassen werden die Leiden und schweren gesundheitlichen Schäden, die den Menschen in den Uranabbaugebieten zugefügt werden.

„Jeder kann durch seine Teilnahme einen Beitrag dazu leisten, dass die Befürworter der Erneuerbaren Energien mehr Gehör bekommen. Denn nur wenn wir konsequent Energie sparen sowie Wind-, Wasser- und Sonnenkraft einsetzen, können wir hochgefährliche Risikotechnologien und Kriege um die verbliebenen fossilen Energievorräte vermeiden" so Martin Kraus, der Münchner ödp-Stadtvorsitzende.

Auch 22 Jahre nach dem GAU erkranken und sterben Menschen durch den Betrieb von Atomkraftwerken. Denn unser Verständnis über die Wirkung radioaktiver Strahlung ist völlig veraltet. Aber auch der Normalbetrieb von Atomkraftwerken birgt Gesundheitsgefahren, wie die vom Umweltinstitut München e.V. initiierte Studie zu Kinderkrebs in der Umgebung von Atomkraftwerken, kurz KiKK-Studie, aufgezeigt hat. Die Ergebnisse bestätigten unsere früheren Analysen: In Deutschland erkranken Kinder unter fünf Jahren häufiger an Krebs, insbesondere an Leukämie, je näher sie an einem Atomkraftwerk wohnen.

Lesen Sie dazu unsere Pressemitteilung: http://www.umweltinstitut.org/pressemitteilungen/2008/2008_04_24-615.html

In einer aktuellen Studie kommt Dr. Alfred Körblein, ehemaliger Mitarbeiter des Umweltinstituts München, zu dem Ergebnis, dass 1987, ein Jahr nach dem Tschernobyl-Unfall, die Leukämierate in den an Tschernobyl angrenzenden Gebieten in Weißrussland, der Ukraine und in Russland bei Jungen signifikant erhöht war. Dies widerlegt diejenigen, die eine solchen Krankheitsrate bislang stets bestritten haben.

In einer zweiten neuen Studie von Dr. Körblein wird belegt, dass auch in Schweden, Finnland und Norwegen die Säuglingssterblichkeit von 1987 bis 1992 hochsignifikant angestiegen war:

Tschernobyl liegt noch lange nicht hinter uns

Die atomare Katastrophe von Tschernobyl liegt nicht hinter uns, sondern vor uns. Noch heute sterben in Südjapan jedes Jahr 3.000 Menschen durch die atomare Verstrahlung im Jahr 1945.

Residents to appeal decision on antenna

By Liz Neely
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

April 24, 2008

El Cajon and La Mesa residents vowed this week to fight a cellular phone company's plan to install a wireless antenna in their Fletcher Hills neighborhood.

T-Mobile wants to build what's called a wireless communications facility at 2053 Wedgemere Road. The project includes a 30-foot-tall wireless antenna that would be disguised in a fake chimney attached to a two-story home. A 200-square-foot structure in the backyard would hold the wireless equipment.

Military "Analysts," the Media and the Selling of Bush's Wars

Max J. Castro writes for Progreso Weekly: "The Bush administration has made a mess of many things, from the Iraq war to Katrina. Yet there is one area in which Bush and his people have met with, at least, limited success - namely the manipulation of public opinion, especially when it comes to the 'war on terror.'"

Since the lead-up to the war in 2002, the major networks have trotted out dozens of retired military officers as independent analysts - many of whom, unknown to viewers, were being prepped by the Pentagon to put out favorable messages about the Bush administration's conduct of the war.

Common Dreams
by Sean Gonsalves

The relationship between the media and the military has always been rife with manipulation and antagonism, though I’ve always considered the idea of an “adversarial press” to be far more myth than literal truth.Take the well-worn accusation that an “adversarial press” turned public opinion against the Vietnam War. Never mind the most important lesson of modern guerrilla war history — namely that, short of genocide, military might doesn’t defeat guerrilla insurgencies. It only multiplies the number of insurgents...

Study Based on Farmers’ Experience Exposes Risks of GM Crops

ISIS Press Release 24/04/08

The first study of its kind in North America, possibly in the world, shows how the risks of GM technology outweigh the benefits especially in the longer term. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho

Canada, along with the United States and Argentina were the first countries in the world to commercialise GM crops. But more than a decade later, risk assessment for GM crops is still ignoring farmers’ knowledge and their years of experience in growing GM crops.

Ian Mauro and Stéphane McLachlan at the University of Manitoba, Winnepeg, in Canada, have now completed a study of farmers from Manitoba and across Canada based on interviews (n=15) and survey by mail (n=370) conducted between 2002 and 2003. It is especially useful in identifying the actual risks and benefits for farmers who are not yet committed to growing GM crops.

“We’re very pleased with this study.” Mauro says. “Using quantitative and qualitative methods, we’ve documented the benefits and risks associated herbicide-tolerant (HT) canola. We found that farmers have been primarily placed at risk due to the proliferation of HT volunteers. Smaller farms and those with a longer history of GM canola use were at highest risk.”

Canadian farmers rapidly adopted HT canola following its commercial release in 1995. Three varieties of HT canola have been introduced: Roundup Ready (RR), Liberty Link (LL) and Clearfield (CF), tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate, glufosinate and imidazolinone respectively. RR and LL are genetically modified, whereas CF has been created by induced mutation. Currently, they represent 96 percent of the 5.25 million ha of canola grown in Canada: approximately 50 percent RR, 32 percent LL and 14 percent CF. The great majority are grown in the western Canadian provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.

Thus, Canadian farmers have a great deal of experience in growing HT canola, and that’s what Mauro and McLachlan decided to focus on.

Students in fight against phone mast

Published Date: 24 April 2008

By Kelly Felstead

Determined ... Newmarket College students, led by sixth-former Tristan Pithers, are protesting against the 02 phone mast close to their school. www.photostoday.co.uk N080421002

STUDENTS at Newmarket College have started their own fight against a controversial mobile phone mast put up near the school.

Head boy Tristan Pithers launched a petition on Monday in protest at the 30ft mast, which went up in Exning Road in February following a council blunder.

More than 100 pupils and staff have already signed the petition, which will eventually be sent to Forest Heath Council and mast operator 02 urging them to take it down.

MOBILE phone company 02 has agreed to look for a new site for one of its masts.

Talks have started with the aim of finding an alternative site for the phone mast outside Newmarket College.

But even if a suitable new location is found for the mast there will need to be further talks about who will pay for moving it and its associated equipment.

The cost could be £150,000.

What the Family Would Let You See, the Pentagon Obstructs

Dana Milbank, of The Washington Post, reports: "Lt. Col. Billy Hall, one of the most senior officers to be killed in the Iraq war, was laid to rest yesterday at Arlington National Cemetery. It's hard to escape the conclusion that the Pentagon doesn't want you to know that. The family of 38-year-old Hall, who leaves behind two young daughters and two stepsons, gave their permission for the media to cover his Arlington burial -- a decision many grieving families make so that the nation will learn about their loved ones' sacrifice. But the military had other ideas, and they arranged the Marine's burial yesterday so that no sound, and few images, would make it into the public domain."

The suit challenges the Bush administration's attempt to flout contempt of Congress charges against one current and one former White House aide." And, Bob Secter and Jeff Coen report for The Chicago Tribune: "In the midst of a corruption trial that has provided plenty of fodder for political cynics, prosecutors alleged that political insiders in Washington and Illinois claimed to be working to choke off a criminal investigation launched by US Atty.

‘Our’ government has still not told ‘we the people’ the real reasons ‘our’ government invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. Instead, the American sheeple have accepted a succession of transparent lies: weapons of mass destruction, al Qaeda connections and complicity in the 9/11 attack, overthrowing a dictator and ‘bringing democracy’ to Iraqis.

Lügen, bis das Image "grün" ist

Sendung am Donnerstag, 15.05.2008, 22.00 bis 22.30 Uhr

Heute behaupten alle, Klima- und Umweltschützer zu sein. Kaum ein Tag vergeht, an dem nicht ein großes Unternehmen in einer schön gestalteten Anzeige in Tageszeitungen oder Zeitschriften erklärt, wie es sich für die Umwelt einsetzt. Atomkraftwerke schützen das Klima, Fliegen wird immer sauberer, Autofahren ebenfalls und die Ölkonzerne sind sowieso zutiefst um das Klima besorgt.

Das sollen wir zumindest glauben, doch die Realität sieht vielfach anders aus. Da werden Zahlen verdreht und kleine ökologische Modellprojekte hochgejubelt, während das alte dreckige und meist CO2-intensive Kerngeschäft weiterläuft. Odysso zeigt, wie sich Unternehmen einen Öko-Anstrich verpassen.

According to Jared Bernstein and Heidi Shierholz of The Economic Policy Institute, "It is widely recognized that the means through which most working-age Americans receive health care coverage - the employer-based system - is undergoing fundamental change. Though a majority of workers and their families are still covered through employers, a variety of factors, most prominently increased costs, have led to a steady slide in coverage."

NOAA scientists released these and other preliminary findings today as part of an annual update to the agency's greenhouse gas index, which tracks data from 60 sites around the world."

According to J. Peter Scoblic in The Los Angeles Times, "John McCain knows a lot less about foreign policy than he'd have us believe.

The candidate reportedly lacks firm ideological convictions, so a battle for 'McCain's soul' may be in the offing."

by Devvy Kidd

With the exception of approximately 128,188 Americans who voted for Congressman Ron Paul in the PA primary, the other 2.7 million voters cast their endorsement for liars, political crooks and more big government. Two things that were not mentioned by any of the cable news networks who blatantly censor the truth, is the alleged 91,211 votes cast for Pastor Huckabee who dropped out of the race, March 4, 2008 - a full seven WEEKS before this primary........
