THE community battle over a proposed Telstra mobile phone antenna in Strathdale continues to rage unabated.

Today marks the deadline for concerned residents and community groups to lodge submissions to Connell Wagner, the town planning consultants employed by Telstra to build the contentious structure.

The Advertiser reported the concerns of local residents regarding the transmitter, including the Kay family, last week.

Das in Nanterre gefällte Urteil zur Entfernung einer Mobilfunk-Basisstation nimmt das Vorsorgeprinzip ernst. Die Kläger argumentierten nachbarrechtlich. Es ist zu hoffen, dass dieses Urteil die weitere Rechtsprechung beeinflussen wird. Allerdings ist abzuwarten, wie ein Rekurs des Mobilfunkbetreibers beurteilt werden wird.

Jonathan Schell, The Nation: "'Every tree in the forest will fall,' said James McCord, the Watergate conspirator, as he prepared to blow the lid off the cover-up of the scandal, leading to the forced midterm resignation of President Nixon. The phrase comes to mind as one surveys the condition of the United States today. The country's military power is evaporating in failing ground wars in two pulverized, impoverished countries, leaving its recent pretensions to global imperial grandeur in ashes. Its economic power is crumbling daily as its banking system collapses and its instruments of credit seize up in what Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke has told Congress may be a 'heart attack.'"

Joel Achenbach, The Washington Post: "The Bush administration is trying again to take the gray wolf of the Northern Rockies off the federal endangered species list. Having lost a court battle with conservationists this summer, the US Fish and Wildlife Service has decided to reopen for public comment its 2007 proposal to de-list the wolves, currently considered 'endangered' under the Endangered Species Act."

Politiker und Ökonomen der Industriestaaten haben in großer Eile einen Rettungsplan für die Weltfinanzkrise gebastelt. Wo aber bleibt der Rettungsplan für die noch viel schwerer wiegende Krise des Weltklimas? Die Bundeskanzlerin sagt zu Recht: „Die Klimakrise ist die Überlebensfrage der Menschheit“. Der Klimawandel könnte unsere Lebensgrundlagen für tausende Jahre zerstören.

Michael Scherer, Time Magazine: "We can go to the moon, split atoms to power submarines, squeeze profits from a 99 cent hamburger and watch football highlights on cell phones. But the most successful democracy in human history has yet to figure out how to conduct a proper election. As it stands, the American voting system is a worrisome mess, a labyrinth of local, state and federal laws spotted with bewildered volunteers, harried public officials, partisan distortions, misdesigned forms, malfunctioning machines and polling-place confusion."

The very idea of the people having anything resembling a fair share of prosperity or having any true freedom has become officially undesirable. Such things would threaten the imperial rule of this globalist oligarchy. All that matters to them is themselves. The only other thing that matters is that we comply. And should we fail to comply the punishments are ever more swift in coming.

The Grand Merger!

By Rev. Richard Skaff

Lawlessness in government has become the rule of the land. Loyalty to the party superseded the loyalty to the country, which is a déjà vu phenomenon in the archives of fascism. The stench of our political sewage system has contaminated our nation and the world. Mendacity became truth, and manipulation became intelligence and virtue.

Die Bundesagentur für Arbeit (BA) versucht die Zahl der Widersprüche im SGB II zu reduzieren. Allerdings nicht durch bessere Arbeit, sondern durch üble Trickserei. Dort sind dann Leitlinien zu finden wie "Stattgaben im Klageverfahren sind auf 30 Prozent zu reduzieren" sowie "die Grundsicherungsstellen verringern die Erfolgsquoten von Klagen".

The White House has made much of its assistance to poor nations, especially in Africa, and in some regards aid has indeed been a highlight of the Bush administration. The President’s Emergency Plan for aids Relief (PEPFAR), an unprecedented commitment to battle the disease, has given 1.7 million poor people access to lifesaving antiretroviral drugs. And although America still gives less than other developed countries relative to the size of its economy, Bush has sought more foreign aid than his predecessor — $20.3 billion in 2008 compared to an inflation-adjusted $18.2 billion under President Clinton in 2000. On the downside, as with so many of this administration’s initiatives, experts say arrogant leadership, ideological pandering, and mismanagement have marred the aid efforts...
