Kornhaber in Apples and Oranges, Council Meeting Mania

Spencer Kornhaber / OCW

Remember that brouhaha last Thursday about a cell tower being built next to a Huntington Beach elementary school? Remember the outcry from parents, the indignation from school officials, and the petition from the kid who expressed an interest in having T-Mobile pay for his future cancer bills? Remember how the community around Harbour View park and Harbour View Elementary School weren't notified that a big ole' fake tree would be built on city property literally feet away from a kindergarten classroom?

The Primacy of Healing

Tyler E. Boudreau, Truthout: "I am a veteran of the war in Iraq. Like many, I came home bearing an unexpected skepticism toward our operations there and a fresh perspective on America's use of military power. And also like many, I found myself emotionally and psychologically harried by my experiences on the battlefield. But unlike many, I landed after discharge in a community where criticism for the war was both socially acceptable and, in fact, quite common, leaving me free to process a distress which was directly connected to US foreign policy. I was, literally and figuratively, right at home. So, I couldn't help noticing how the political dissent of my community was facilitating my mental healing. That has given me reason to consider all the ways in which politics has corresponded with and influenced the understanding and acceptance of combat stress. And while combat stress survivors have, in some ways, benefited from this relationship; they have suffered from it as well."

Polizei und Justiz gehen verstärkt gegen Antimilitaristen vor. Proteste gegen Bundeswehr und deutsche Kriegsbeteiligung unterschiedlichster Art nehmen zu. Artikel von Markus Bernhardt in junge Welt vom 23.04.2009 http://www.jungewelt.de/2009/04-23/047.php


Hochschulen forschen für den Krieg

„Im Jahr 2008 hat die Bundesregierung 1,1 Milliarde Euro dafür gezahlt, dass an Hochschulen und in so genannten An-Instituten Rüstungsforschung betrieben wird. Das Bundesministerium für Verteidigung (BMVg) vergab Aufträge für bundeswehrrelevante und wehrtechnische Forschung an Hochschulen in zehn Bundesländern. Insgesamt führen 27 Hochschulen derartige Projekte durch. Daneben erhielten auch einschlägige Forschungseinrichtungen wie die Forschungsgesellschaft für Angewandte Naturwissenschaften (FGAN), das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft – und Raumfahrt (DLR) oder die Fraunhofer Gesellschaft Aufträge. Im Rahmen des 7. Forschungsprogramms der EU wird an Hochschulen auch im „Forschungsprogramm für die zivile Sicherheit“ gearbeitet, dessen Ergebnisse teils ebenfalls „sicherheitsrelevant“ sind. Gleichzeitig ist 2007 das deutsche Forschungsprogramm zur „zivilen Sicherheit“ gestartet. Sarah Nagel stellt in ihrer IMI-Studie "Hochschulen forschen für den Krieg" diese Aspekte der Militarisierung von Forschung und Lehre dar und geht auch auf Versuche von Angestellten und Studierenden ein, sich dagegen zu wehren. Die Studie enthält auch eine Liste aller Universitäten, von denen bekannt ist, dass sie u.a. Rüstungsforschung betreiben.

Widerstand gegen das “Stockholm-Programm”

Widerstand gegen die EU-Politik der Überwachung und Grenzschließung ist nötig!

„Das Komitee für Grundrechte und Demokratie, eines der Gründungsmitglieder des "European Civil Liberties Network" (ECLN), ruft gemeinsam mit diesem zur öffentlichen Diskussion des "Stockholm Programms" der EU auf. Das "Stockholm Programm", der neue Fünfjahresplan zum Ausbau der "Zone für Freiheit, Sicherheit und Recht" der EU, soll Richtlinien für die europäische Innen- und Justizpolitik sowie die Politik der Inneren Sicherheit für 2010 bis 2014 definieren. Die Erklärung des Europäischen Bürgerrechtsnetzwerks kritisiert den Plan und nennt drei zentrale Bereiche: (1) Möglichkeiten zur totalen Überwachung sollen installiert werden. (2) Die Grenzkontrollen, die zur Bekämfpung der Migration ausgebaut wurden und werden und die bereits jetzt eine "tödliche Realität" an den Außengrenzen geschaffen haben, können leicht zu weitergehenden Kontrollen aller Bürger ausgebaut werden. Die wuchernden Datensammlungen unterstützen dies. (3) Es findet ein Prozess der Militarisierung der Sicherheit stat. Auf soziale und wirtschaftliche Probleme wird nicht inhaltlich sondern mit militärisch-sicherheitspolitischen Mitteln reagiert…“ Pressemitteilung des Grundrechtekomitees vom 27.04.2009 http://www.grundrechtekomitee.de/ub_showarticle.php?articleID=315

We’ve learned much, much more about America and torture in the past five years. But as Mark Danner recently wrote in The New York Review of Books, for all the revelations, one essential fact remains unchanged: ‘By no later than the summer of 2004, the American people had before them the basic narrative of how the elected and appointed officials of their government decided to torture prisoners and how they went about it.’ When the Obama administration said it declassified four new torture memos 10 days ago in part because their contents were already largely public, it was right. Yet we still shrink from the hardest truths and the bigger picture: that torture was a premeditated policy approved at our government’s highest levels; that it was carried out in scenarios that had no resemblance to ‘24;’ that psychologists and physicians were enlisted as collaborators in inflicting pain; and that, in the assessment of reliable sources like the F.B.I. director Robert Mueller, it did not help disrupt any terrorist attacks...

I think we can have a reasonable discussion about whether CIA officials who were ‘just following orders’ should be held accountable for law-breaking. But what do we say of the people who gave the orders? Even they might be able to make a case that what they were doing was not illegal, but then let’s have them make that case — in front of a federal judge. I don’t automatically assume that some Bush administration officials were breaking the law by giving the go-ahead to torture. I think they were breaking the law, but I’m not sure. But when there’s a fair amount of evidence to suggest that someone might have broken the law, the usual next step (I’m not a lawyer, so forgive me if I’ve missed a step) is to put the case before a grand jury to decide whether or not to go forward and prosecute. Even if the grand jury, true to form, has very low standards for deciding whether to prosecute, why should politicians be exempt from living in the same legal world that the rest of us inhabit?

If [US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates] has his druthers, the next military budget will look much like this one: It will still serve excessive objectives. We will still defend allies that can defend themselves, fight in other people’s civil wars in a vain effort to ‘fix’ their states, and burn tax dollars to serve the hubristic notion that US military hegemony is what keeps the world safe. To really keep us safe, we should slash defense spending. Americans should prepare for fewer wars, not different ones. Far from providing our defense, our military posture endangers us. It drags us into others’ conflicts, provokes animosity, and wastes resources. We need a defense budget worthy of the name. We need military restraint. And that would allow us to cut defense spending roughly in half...

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: "With the election of Barack Obama, it has been argued that not only will the social state be renewed in the spirit and legacy of the New Deal, but that the punishing racial state and its vast complex of disciplinary institutions will, if not come to an end, at least be significantly reformed. From this perspective, Obama's presidency not only represents a post-racial victory, but also signals a new space of post-racial harmony. While 'post-racial' may mean less overt racism, the idea that we have moved into a post-racial period in American history is not merely premature - it is an act of willful denial and ignorance."

Without accepting full responsibility for torture - and illegal, pre-emptive wars - and without accountability, there can be no catharsis in America. Obama is enough of a smart operator to know that if his "going forward" is perceived like "look the other way", this whole thing will come back to haunt and even destroy his presidency. And if it walks and talks like a whitewash, that's because it must be ... a whitewash.

Pinter's Dispatch to Obama

"The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It's a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis...It's a scintillating stratagem."

Concerned by the dangers of electromagnetic waves, the City of Hérouville St. Clair has decided to apply a precautionary principle towards the antennas.

By the end of the school year, all Wi-Fi equipment will be removed in primary schools. An information campaign will also be conducted with residents to raise awareness of the risks associated with mobile telephony.

The City also has become a member of Robin roofs and the CRIIREM two associations fighting for the safety of people exposed to new technologies for wireless telecommunications.

These structures are independent will be responsible for undertaking measures to determine the degree of harmfulness of waves emitted by the antennas. Depending on the results, the municipality may require operators to limit its emissions, or even remove their antennas.

Bundeslandwirtschaftsministerin Ilse Aigner (CSU) hat den Anbau der Genkartoffelsorte Amflora erlaubt. Wie das Ministerium am Montag (27. April) bestätigte, genehmigte Aigner den Anbau der Kartoffelsorte zu Forschungszwecken. Amflora-Kartoffeln sind für Menschen offenbar nicht genießbar, sondern können wegen ihrer besonderen Stärkezusammensetzung zu industriellen Zwecken, wie der Herstellung von Papier, genutzt werden. Politiker der Bundestagsfraktionen von CDU/CSU sowie der FDP begrüßten die Entscheidung. Aigner sagte, vom Anbau der Kartoffel gehe keine Gefahr für die menschliche Gesundheit oder die Umwelt aus. Von der Genehmigung profitiert der Chemiekonzern BASF, der in Deutschland Freilandversuche mit der Kartoffelsorte durchführen möchte.

TAMWORTH residents are up in arms over Vodafone's plans to erect a ten metre high phone mast in their street.

The mobile phone company wants to put a mast in Brindley Drive, to the rear of Selker Drive in Amington.

But the application was turned down by Tamworth Borough Council's planning committee last December.

Now Vodafone is appealing against that decision, and a Government planning inspector will have the final say on the matter.

Selker Drive resident Helen Batchelor is one of many residents who are against the scheme, and has written to the Inspectorate to voice her concerns.

She says it is the wrong location for a mast.

"It's going to be about eight feet away from one resident's house," she said.

"There's bats nesting in trees here, but Vodafone has completely ignored that.

"I think it's ridiculous where they are thinking about putting it.

Europaparlament schafft keine Transparenz

Eine Arbeitsgruppe von Europaparlament und EU-Kommission hat gestern ein gemeinsames Lobbyregister beider Institutionen angekündigt. Das klingt erstmal erfreulich - aber bei näherem Hinsehen ist die Erklärung enttäuschend. Wenn die Erteilung eines Hausausweises für das Europaparlament (EP) tatsächlich an die Eintragung in das Lobbyregister gekoppelt würde, würde das zwar den Anreiz zur Registrierung verstärken. Aber auch ohne Hausausweis können Lobbyisten Zugang zum Europaparlament bekommen. Letztlich bleibt das Register freiwillig und die Erklärung von EP und EU-Kommission ist zudem relativ vage, wie das gemeinsame Register wirklich aussehen soll. Die großen Schwachpunkte des Kommissionsregisters werden in der Erklärung nicht angesprochen. Wir greifen das Thema demächst im Europawahlkampf erneut auf.

A MUCH-contested phone mast will be erected opposite a children’s play area in Birchwood after receiving the approval of planning councillors.

The 12.3 metre-high Vodafone pole got the go-ahead at a development control meeting last Wednesday despite facing fierce opposition from Birchwood Town councillors and 145 residents concerned with the health implications of a mast close to their homes.

Clr Russell Bowden listed a raft of reasons why the mast should not be sited on Moss Gate, near to the nature reserve Risley Moss.

We knew this was coming. Even though the bird flu hype was removed years ago from the nightly news, planning for the global pandemic and the development of pandemic flu vaccines has continued with little notice. Our government has instructed FEMA, made checklists for Homeland Security, given action plans to State and local authorities. These plans include methods and drills for global inoculation with a vaccine that will no doubt have the same deadly consequences as the Swine Flu vaccine in 1976........

Lessons about bad vaccines are rarely learned and the race to make more experimental doses has never been hotter. In 2005, Congress allocated $3.8 billion to developers with the stated goal of being able to “distribute a vaccine to every American within six months of the onset of a pandemic.” In 2006, our elected representatives went even further to ensure we are vaccinated: They created incentives for manufacturers by funding the Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005, nicknamed BioShield II.......

Swine Flu Outbreak Could Be Linked to Smithfield Factory Farms

Tom Philpott, Grist: "One flu east, one flu west. The outbreak of a new flu strain - a nasty mash-up of swine, avian, and human viruses - has infected 1,000 people in Mexico and the US, killing 68. The World Health Organization warned Saturday that the outbreak could reach global pandemic levels. Is Smithfield Foods, the world’s largest pork packer and hog producer, linked to the outbreak? Smithfield operates massive hog-raising operations Perote, Mexico, in the state of Vera Cruz, where the outbreak originated. The operations, grouped under a Smithfield subsidiary called Granjas Carroll, raise 950,000 hogs per year, according to the company Web site."

Regardless of who orders them into battle, regardless of whether they are drafted, and regardless of the reasons they are told the war is necessary, it is the soldiers who do the actual fighting, maiming, and killing. This has been true throughout history. Even if we accept Hannah Arendt’s principle that ‘in general the degree of responsibility increases as we draw further away from the man who uses the fatal instrument with his own hands,’ the soldiers at the bottom still bear diffused responsibility for their actions. Responsibility is not all concentrated in the state’s leaders. To soothe their consciences as they kill and plunder for the state, soldiers justify their acts of death and destruction by the doctrine of concentrated responsibility...

The Wall Street Journal reports that the biggest financial institutions ‘made or refinanced a total of $226.3 billion of loans in October. In February that figure had fallen to $174.2 billion.’ … You would think that since the banks can borrow money from the government at close to zero-percent interest and lend it at 4 percent to 5 percent, they would be shoving dough out the door into the hands of any vaguely solvent looking passerby, but they’re not...

Iraq’s prime minister denounced a deadly U.S. raid on Sunday as a ‘crime’ that violated the security pact with Washington and demanded American commanders hand over those responsible to face possible trial in Iraqi courts. The U.S. military, however, strongly denied that it overstepped its bounds and said it notified Iraqi authorities in advance—in accordance with the rules that took effect this year governing U.S. battlefield conduct...

Paydirt

Leslie Thatcher, Truthout: "Amid the plethora of voices analyzing the roots of the financial system's meltdown and the mechanics of various bailout proposals, a few are consistently interesting.... For a truly Olympian view, however, I recommend novelist Margaret Atwood's stunning 'Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth,' the published volume of her 2008 Massey Lectures, which were broadcast over Canadian Broadcast Company Radio last November."

Marjorie Cohn, Truthout: "It turns out that high Bush officials put heavy pressure on Pentagon interrogators to get Mohammed and Zubaydah to reveal a link between Saddam Hussein and the 9/11 hijackers, in order to justify Bush's illegal and unnecessary invasion of Iraq in 2003. That link was never established."

General Who Probed Abu Ghraib Says Bush Officials Committed War Crimes

Warren Strobel, McClatchy Newspapers: "The Army general who led the investigation into prisoner abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison accused the Bush administration Wednesday of committing 'war crimes' and called for those responsible to be held to account. The remarks by Maj. Gen.
