Bernie Horn, The Campaign for America's Future: "Yesterday, the US House of Representatives handed bankers in the credit card industry a defeat. But almost simultaneously, mortgage bankers won big in the Senate. Senator Richard Durbin lamented that the banks 'are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place.'"

Telford & Wrekin Council is due to adopt new guidelines when deciding the controversial issue of mobile phone masts.

It follows huge concern among residents when telecommunications giants announce plans to install masts close to housing estates and playing fields.

Now the council cabinet, which meets on May 11, is set to spell out exactly which matters councillors should consider when applications are made for phone masts and radio equipment.

Accra, May 02, GNA - Mr. Haruna Iddrisu, Minister of Communications, has urged telecom operators to be considerate of peoples' reservations about telecom towers mounted close to their dwelling place and institute measures to allay the anxieties of the public.

He noted that there had been considerable amount of public concern about telecom masts and their health and safety implications, saying that he personally received a complaint regarding some MTN telecom tower mounted in a home at Tamale, and the residents feared that "the tower is causing malaria."

AN ALTERNATIVE site for the controversial Foxes Piece phone mast has been found, communications giant Orange has announced.

In a joint statement with Wycombe District Council the mobile phone operator revealed “a potentially suitable location” has been earmarked - in Station Approach - after a series of tests were carried out earlier this year.

It will now contact residents in the street prior to the plan being submitted to WDC.

Campaigners have issued a cautious welcome to the news, saying they will reserve their celebrations until it is certain the 12m tall antenna in Little Marlow Road, Marlow will not be built.

Mindestlohn-Kommission ist eine Farce

Als "Lohndumping-Beirat" bezeichnet der stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende Klaus Ernst die heute von Arbeitsminister Scholz präsentierte Mindestlohn-Kommission des Arbeitsministeriums. Nach seiner Ansicht gibt es von vornherein eine Sperrmehrheit gegen existenzsichernde Mindestlöhne in dem Gremium. Ernst erklärt:

Die Mindestlohn-Kommission ist eine Farce. Schon der Name ist irreführend. Lohndumping-Beirat wäre richtiger. Denn Lohndumpinganhänger haben die Mehrheit in dem Gremium. Wolfgang Franz singt seit Jahren Loblieder auf Hungerlöhne und will das Arbeitslosengeld II noch unter das jetzige Niveau absenken. Klaus von Dohnanyi, bekennender Neoliberaler mit SPD-Parteibuch, will Mindestlöhne allenfalls auf niedrigstem Niveau und noch dazu mit geringeren Sätzen für Ostdeutschland. Gemeinsam mit den Arbeitgeber-Vertretern, denen jeder Euro Lohn einer zu viel ist, gibt es so eine Sperrmehrheit gegen existenzsichernde Mindestlöhne. Wer Mindestlöhne von Lohndumpinganhängern festsetzen lässt, kann es auch gleich bleiben lassen.

We need to step back and look at very fundamental clues which led to the freakish ignorance of the American people. Let us begin with health.

With or without all the drugs, most seniors still die between the ages of 70 and 80, but the drugs that infect their systems are bizarre chemical cocktails and many are drugged to lethargy and death under the umbrella of humaneness or clinical trials.......

Karen Greenberg, TomDispatch.com: "These days, it's virtually impossible to escape the world of torture the Bush administration constructed. Whether we like it or not, almost every day we learn ever more about the full range of its shameful policies, about who the culprits were, and just which crimes they might be prosecuted for. But in the morass of memos, testimony, op-eds, punditry, whistle-blowing, documents, and who knows what else, with all the blaming, evasion, and denial going on, somehow we've overlooked the most significant victim of all. One casualty of the Bush torture policies -- certainly, at least equal in damage to those who were tortured and the country whose laws were twisted and perverted in the process -- has been human rights itself. And no one even seems to notice."

DESPITE opposition from parents and residents, a mobile phone mast may still be placed near a Bridlington primary school.

Angry residents and parents opposed the move due to fears over the possible negative side effects caused to youngsters' health by radiation emitted from the mast.

CAMPAIGNERS have launched a second battle to stop a phone mast being erected close to a nursery.

Telefonica O2's proposal to build a 49ft mast in Weston Coyney has already been rejected by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, but the firm has appealed the decision and still wants to build the mock telegraph pole, with three integrated antennas and equipment cabinet, at the corner of Park Hall Road and Weston Road.

The matter is currently awaiting a ruling from a planning inspector, who is unlikely to make his site visit before May 6.

Last time, hundreds of people objected to the proposed site directly opposite St Andrew's Church, which houses St Andrews and St Peters Pre-school.

And ward councillor Michael Coleman says he has already received many complaints about the appeal.

Looking at the latest unemployment numbers, conspiracy theorists might postulate that our current economic crisis has a racial dimension, tilting against blacks and especially black males. The latest seasonally adjusted U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment numbers reveal that blacks have an unemployment rate of 13.3 percent compared to 7.9 percent for whites. For black men over nineteen years of age, the data are even worse: 15.4 percent compared to 8 percent for white males. These gaps represent a terrible cost in lost potential, and require action on multiple fronts. Critical to progress on this problem are a reform of welfare policies in tandem with a renewal of an ethic of educational achievement...

Your cellphone purchases might be fueling the world’s worst sexual violence. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a place most of us will never go, and the war there is affecting people most of us will never meet. But the link between our demand for electronic products and mass human suffering is incredibly direct. It is stunning that we as consumers have been completely unaware of the complex chain of events tying widespread sexual violence in Congo to the minerals that help power our cellphones, laptops, mp3 players, video games, and digital cameras. Thankfully, there is an alternative: Companies and consumers alike must use our buying power to bring this deadly war fueled by ‘conflict minerals’ to an end...

Those opposed to reopening the book on the Bush years argue that doing so would tear the country apart. They’re right — but they forget that the country is already torn apart. The gulf between Democrats and Republicans has never been wider. The Republican Party, the home of those who still defend the Bush years, has become a reactionary and increasingly marginal movement that is in fealty to crude demagogues like Rush Limbaugh and whose hysterical denunciations of Obama sound more and more unhinged. What this means is that those Americans who would be truly outraged by an investigation are already outraged. It could not make them any angrier or more bitter than they already are. And even if it did, how much difference would that make? The GOP base already regards Democrats as terrorist-coddling communists. Are they going to all join militias?

Do conservatives understand torture?

The American Prospect
by Matthew Yglesias

04/30/09

The current conservative line on the forms of torture used by the Bush administration — from waterboarding to stress positions that produce ‘muscle fatigue’ that manages not to rise to the level of ’severe pain’ — leads to an obvious question. Why don’t we do more of it? According to the right, this kind of physical and psychological torment doesn’t meet the standard for illegal torture. And according to the right, it’s also highly effective at producing information. And a legal, highly effective method of acquiring information from prisoners or captives sounds like a useful thing indeed. It seems to me that people who genuinely believe this stuff — those who, like moral cretin and Weekly Standard blogger Michael Goldfarb want to call torturers ‘American heroes’ and make light of waterboarding by calling it ‘dunking’ — ought to believe in making its use widespread. And yet somehow, I don’t hear the calls...

The question of the moment is now, no longer: Is torture un-American? It is: Are we, as a nation, bigger than our transgressions?

Can we face up to what has been done in our name, establish accountability and find a way to atone and change?

The bank was once considered a warehouse where people could keep their gold or other precious metal for a fee. The paper receipts they were given by the bank began to circulate in the economy as a paper substitute for the gold money itself. This tempted the bank to issue more receipts as loans than it actually had in its vaults. Sometimes, the people lost trust in the bank and a ‘bank run’ would ensue where everyone would try to get their gold back, and only a few could. The Federal Reserve System was set up to protect these fraudulent banks from bank runs. Even today, when the Federal Reserve paper dollar is money, banks have just one-tenth of their total deposits in paper and coin for people to withdraw. Money is ‘created’ by the Federal Reserve Board more by computer entries than by the printing press, and each additional dollar it creates makes each existing dollar slightly less valuable...

OPPONENTS of a mobile 'phone mast on Carlogie Road, Carnoustie, are rejoicing that Vodafone's appeal against refusal has been rejected.

Angus Council threw out the initial application on September 2.

The telecommunications giant was adamant that its application site, near the junction with Newton Road, was the correct one.

However, whilst the Scottish Ministers' Reporter, Janet McNair, accepted that Vodafone wished to improve its service, she said that it is impossible to conclude with certainty that a more visually satisfactory alternative site is not available.

Miss McNair continued: "Street lighting columns, overhead power lines, signs, and a bus shelter are already part of the streetscape of this part of Carlogie Road, which is the main approach into Carnoustie from the A92.

Dahr Jamail, Truthout: "One of the definitions of the word 'occupation' is: the action, state, or period of occupying or being occupied by military force. Throughout history, areas or countries occupied by military force have always resisted, and this resistance has caused the occupier to devise more suitable methods of subduing the population of the area being occupied."

Don't Let Insurance Company Greed Block Swine Flu Response

John Nichols, The Nation: "Anyone who has had much experience with America's health care system knows that nurses are the essential players in making things work. So as the swine flu outbreak evolves into a genuine public health emergency - with cases being discovered in more states and the announcement by President Obama of the first death in the US - it is time to consult the nation's nurses."

Swine flu? A panic stoked in order to posture and spend

Guardian [UK]
by Simon Jenkins

04/30/08

We have gone demented. Two Britons are or were (not very) ill from flu. ‘This could really explode,’ intones a reporter for BBC News. ‘London warned: it’s here,’ cries the Evening Standard. Fear is said to be spreading ‘like a Mexican wave.’ It ‘could affect’ three-quarters of a million Britons. It ‘could cost’ three trillion dollars. The ‘danger,’ according to the radio, is that workers who are not ill will be ‘worried’ (perhaps by the reporter) and fail to turn up at power stations and hospitals.
