Airstrikes in Afghanistan have caused many civilian casualties, resulting in an official request by the Afghan government to the US military to stop air and ground strikes within civilian populations.

McChrystal Looks to Spin Afghan Civilian Deaths Problem

There are growing indications that his command is preparing to deal with the issue primarily by seeking to shift the blame to the Taliban through more and better propaganda operations and by using more high-tech drone intelligence aircraft to increase battlefield surveillance rather than by curbing the main direct cause of civilian casualties.

Among the new drones (which are all very small) are the Suburb Warrior (loaded with four or five mini missiles for semi-urban environments), the Sniper targeting system ("that can lock on to multiple targets, allowing a single drone pilot to coordinate the attacks of a squadron of robots"), and a backup fleet of flying buggies that act as suicide-bomber snipers.

A group of La Marina residents have been left fearing for their health after a large mobile phone mast was erected on a neighbour’s house. Parque Manzanares in La Marina is a quiet, residential area. Three weeks ago, men in unmarked vans arrived at a house on the Parque and started to unload electrical equipment. Neighbours Jane and Arthur Arnold assumed that it was a TV satellite company erecting a satellite dish. However when Arthur (who worked for BT for many years) saw what equipment was being unloaded, he knew that it wasn’t for any satellite dish.

A PHONE company is to erect a mast less than 15 yards from the front door of a man whose doctors have warned him to avoid mobiles.

Reg Hill, who lives directly opposite the planned site of a Vodafone mast in Stoke, fears the radio waves will affect him, his wife Denise and their two children. Mr Hill's son Graham died of a brain tumour in October 2000. Mr Hill says that specialists at Derriford warned him to avoid mobile phones.

"It's really getting me down," Mr Hill said. "I just can't let it happen but I don't know what to do now."

Angry Stoke residents have launched a campaign to stop Vodafone putting up the mast at the corner of Masterman Road and Keppel Place.

With the support of their local Conservative councillor, they are campaigning to change Government policy, which forces councils to give planning permission automatically for masts under 15 metres tall.

PARENTS at a North East first school fear council blunders will lead to a mobile phone mast being built yards from where their children study.

Telecommunications giant Telefonica O2 applied to build the 12.5m structure outside Darras Hall First School, in Ponteland, Northumberland, but the move was met by a wave of fierce objections.

Northumberland County Council’s West Area planning committee held a meeting to discuss the proposal, at which the decision was taken to reject it.

But now it has emerged the refusal is not valid because it did not take place within 56 days of the initial application being received.

Two weeks later, Bush signed an action memorandum dated February 7, 2002, addressed to Vice President Dick Cheney, which denied baseline protections to al-Qaeda and Taliban prisoners under the Third Geneva Convention."

A mobile phone mast could be erected near a Northumberland school following a blunder by the county council.

The authority refused consent for the mast, just yards from Darras Hall First School, but failed to notify Telefonica O2 within the required 56 days.

As a result the 41ft (12.5m) mast could now be installed by default.

The council said there was an oversight in the interpretation of regulations, and that discussions were ongoing to try to agree an alternative site.

Anlässlich der Mitteilungen des DGB zum Missbrauch bei Ein-Euro Jobs erklärt Katja Kipping, stellvertretende Vorsitzende der LINKEN:

Schön, dass es nun auch dem DGB am Beispiel der Ein-Euro-Jobs aufgefallen ist, welche katastrophalen Auswirkungen die Hartz-Gesetzgebung hat. Dabei ist schon seit langem bekannt, dass viele Ein-Euro-Jobs keineswegs mehr zusätzlich und im öffentlichen Interesse sind, sondern reguläre Beschäftigung verdrängen. Ein Großteil der Ein-Euro-Jobber führt die gleichen Tätigkeiten aus, wie festangestellten Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter – allerdings eben zu mieser Bezahlung. Das Instrument, welches einst Langzeitarbeitslosen eine vermeintliche Perspektive auf dem Arbeitsmarkt eröffnen sollte, wird mittlerweile breit eingesetzt, zum einen aus purer Hilflosigkeit der Arbeitsvermittler und nicht zuletzt auch, um auch die Arbeitslosenstatistiken zu schönen. Wir als LINKE fordern die Bundesregierung nochmals nachdrücklich dazu auf, nicht zu versuchen, einige Teile der Hartz-Gesetzgebung zu verschlimmbessern, sondern das ganze Paket gehört komplett in die Tonne. Stattdessen muss ein öffentlich geförderter Beschäftigungssektor eingerichtet werden, wo sozialversicherungspflichtige, rechtlich abgesicherte und freiwillige Beschäftigungsverhältnisse zu existenzsichernden Löhnen für gesellschaftlich notwendige Arbeit geschaffen werden. Das kostet kaum mehr als Ein-Euro-Jobs, wenn die Mittel für das Arbeitslosengeld II, für die Unterkunftskosten sowie für die Ein-Euro-Jobs selbst dazu genutzt werden – bietet aber den Betroffenen endlich eine wirkliche Perspektive.

Afghanistan’s Operation Phoenix

Freedom's Phoenix
by Stephen Lendman

On June 15, AP reported that ‘Gen. Stanley McChrystal, a four-star American general with a long history in special operations, took charge of US and NATO troops in Afghanistan (today), a change in command the Pentagon hopes will turn the tide in an increasingly violent eight-year war.’ McChrystal is a hired gun, an assassin, a man known for committing war crime atrocities as head of the Pentagon’s infamous Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) — established in 1980 and comprised of the Army’s Delta Force and Navy Seals, de facto death squads writer Seymour Hersh described post-9/11 as an ‘executive assassination wing’ operating out of Dick Cheney’s office...
