Blackwater (Xe) Accused in Afghan Murders

David Zucchino, The Los Angeles Times: "Mirza Mohammed Dost stood at the foot of his son's grave, near a headstone that read, 'Raheb Dost, martyred by Americans.' His son was no insurgent, Dost said. He was walking home from prayers on the night of May 5 when he was shot and killed on a busy Kabul street by U.S. security contractors. 'The Americans must answer for my son's death,' Dost said as a large crowd of young men murmured in approval."

Weg mit Sanktionen bei Hartz IV

13. August 2009

DIE LINKE unterstützt den heute veröffentlichten Aufruf des Bündnisses für ein Sanktionsmoratorium bei Hartz IV. Dazu erklärt die stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende Katja Kipping (MdB):

Hartz IV ist ein Armuts- und Ausgrenzungsgesetz und gehört abgeschafft. Die sofortige Aussetzung aller Sanktionen bei Hartz-IV-Bezug wäre ein erster Schritt in Richtung einer grundrechtskonformen Ausgestaltung sozialer Sicherungssysteme. Um das Grundrecht auf eine Existenzsicherung und Teilhabe eines jeden Menschen tatsächlich zu garantieren, fordert DIE LINKE in ihrem Wahlprogramm darüber hinaus die sofortige Abschaffung des Sanktionsparagrafen 31 bei Hartz IV und der Bedarfsgemeinschaftsregelung. Die Regelsätze sind auf 500 Euro zu erhöhen. Hartz IV ist in eine bedarfsdeckende und sanktionsfreie Mindestsicherung umzuwandeln. SPD und Grünen können sich ihre Krokodilstränen im Wahlkampf sparen. Es war die rot-grünen Koalition, die mit Unterstützung von CDU/CSU und FDP Hartz IV beschlossen hat. Die derzeitige Koalition von CDU/CSU und SPD hat dieses unsoziale Gesetz in mehreren Punkten noch verschärft. Hartz IV bedeutet, keine Sicherung der Existenz und der gesellschaftlichen Teilhabe. Gleichzeitig mit Hartz IV wurden mögliche Sanktionen radikal verschärft. Den Betroffenen wird die ohnehin schon viel zu geringe Absicherung durch Sanktionen gekürzt bzw. gänzlich versagt. Dieser Entzug des zum Leben und zur gesellschaftlichen Teilhabe Nötigsten ist das wohl wirksamste Mittel, Menschen gefügig und zu Bittstellern zu machen. Hinzu kommt teilweise rechtswidriges Verhalten der ARGEn und JobCenter, wie die extrem hohe Zahl von Widersprüchen und Klagen zeigt, die zugunsten von Hartz-IV-Beziehern entschieden worden sind. Die Bundesregierung musste in der Antwort auf eine Kleine Anfrage der Fraktion DIE LINKE zugeben: Im Jahr 2008 wurden 41,5% der Widersprüche gegen Sanktionen voll bzw. teilweise stattgegeben. Sogar 65,3% der Klagen gegen Sanktionen waren vollumfänglich bzw. zumindest teilweise erfolgreich. (Vgl. BT-Drs. 16/13577) Die repressive Sanktionspolitik und -gesetzgebung der Bundesregierung von CDU/CSU und SPD trifft auf einen entschiedenen Widerstand in den Sozialen Bewegungen, Erwerbsloseninitiativen, Wohlfahrtsverbänden, Kirchen, Gewerkschaften, bei Künstlern, Wissenschaftlern und Politikern. Das Bündnis für ein Sanktionsmoratorium, dem ich angehöre, hat über 100 prominente Persönlichkeiten aus diesen Bereichen für die Erstunterzeichnung der Forderung nach einer sofortigen Aussetzung des Sanktionsparagrafen 31 bei Hartz IV gewonnen.

Hohe Sanktionsquoten bei Arbeitslosen

Die Medien berichten über Sanktionen mehrheitlich unter dem Motto: „Arbeitsunwillige Hartz IV-Empfänger werden verstärkt sanktioniert.“ Es werden dann auch geringe Quoten angegeben, die den Eindruck erwecken, es sei nur eine kleine Minderheit betroffen. Doch diese Darstellung ist falsch, wie hier gezeigt wird.

Normalerweise beziehen sich die veröffentlichten Sanktionsquoten auf alle erwerbsfähigen Hartz IV-Empfänger. Die Mehrzahl ist aber nicht arbeitslos, sondern bezieht nur ergänzende Leistungen oder ist in Maßnahmen wie Umschulung, Qualifizierung oder 1 Euro-Job beschäftigt. Dann werden sie nur wenig behelligt mit dem Ergebnis geringer Quoten. Umso höher sind diese bei den Arbeitslosen.

The tragedy of our “disappeared” veterans

AlterNet
by Penny Coleman

08/12/09

McMahon came home from Afghanistan with a serious drinking problem, a hair-trigger temper and conditioned to rely on his combat skills for survival. Both his marriage and his military career quickly unraveled, and then he was arrested. Nobody diagnosed his PTSD until he got to Groveland. McMahon’s obsession with safety and guns, and his compulsive drinking are both typical of a post-traumatic stress injury, but instead of diagnosis and treatment, he was left to his own compromised resources and promptly landed in jail. In terms of the bottom line, it’s a trifecta for the military when that happens. A damaged soldier is disappeared, the cost of treatment avoided and the evidence that would prove how often veterans find it impossible to readjust when they come home is erased...

Addicted to war

Empire Burlesque
by Chris Floyd

08/11/09

Looks like the ‘Good War’ in Afghanistan is morphing even more directly into the ‘Drug War’ that the U.S. government has been waging all over the world — and especially against its own people — for almost 40 years now, with all the attendant aggrandizement of authoritarian powers and degradation of civil liberties and human rights. … Of course, the runaway cultivation of opium in Afghanistan — which is now flooding not only the West but also vast swathes of Central Asia with cheap heroin — is a direct result of the American invasion in 2001: an operation ostensibly designed to capture Osama bin Laden, who somehow curiously slipped away from the Americans’ curiously porous encirclement, never to be seen again (except of course for a few curiously timed transmission that seemed, curiously enough, to be geared to the domestic political needs of America’s militarist factions)...

The thirty years’ war

The Nation
by Robert Dreyfuss

08/12/09

With great anticipation, I trucked over to the posh St. Regis Hotel, just north of the White House, to see Ambassador Richard Holbrooke and his team at an event sponsored by the Center for American Progress. I shouldn’t have bothered. The weird thing about the event is that in the room were literally hundreds of the Washington foreign policy elite, current and former officials, people with lots of experience in the Middle East and South Asia, and, of course, journalists, too. And Holbrooke brought with him literally his entire team, minus a few who couldn’t be there: top regional experts such as Barnett Rubin and Vali Nasr, and about a dozen other members of Holbrooke’s Af-Pak task force. But the session was boring, pedestrian, and so mind-numbingly simplistic that it seemed like Holbooke and Co. were talking to third graders. And their goal was to convince us that the ‘civilians’ involved in the Thirty Years’ War in Afghanistan can rebuild that shattered nation from the ground up. They didn’t convince me...

US pols ran up $180.68 billion deficit in July

The federal government spent more than it pocketed a 10th straight month during July, nearing a record last set in 1992 for a string of deficits. Burdened by Wall Street bailout costs and shriveled corporate profits, the government was $180.68 billion in the red during July, the Treasury Department said Wednesday in its monthly budget statement. July 2008’s federal budget deficit was $102.77 billion. The deficit record for any month is $193.86 billion, in February this year...

"Do You Have the Cojones to Raise Rates?"

By Mike Whitney

Bernanke should welcome the opportunity to show everyone how he's pulled the world's biggest economy back from the brink of disaster. All he needs to do is stop giving away free money, shut down a few of his so-called lending facilities, and stop manipulating interest rates by purchasing mortgage-backed securities (MBS) from Fannie and Freddie. How hard is that?

Attorney General Holder: Look at the torture photos

Salon
by Daphne Eviatar

08/12/09

If, as the latest reports indicate, Eric Holder is serious about prosecuting the worst torture and abuse of ‘war on terror’ prisoners that occurred during the Bush administration, then there’s some key evidence he’s going to want to take a look at: photographs. Although Bush Justice Department prosecutors claimed they didn’t have the facts to support prosecuting anyone for the mysterious deaths and disappearances of detainees hauled out of Bagram and Abu Ghraib in body bags, the photographs — which two courts have now ordered the Obama administration to turn over — would seem likely to provide some of the missing evidence. The photos I’m talking about are the same ones that President Obama back in April promised to release to the public by May. Then, after consulting with Defense Department and CIA leaders, he changed his mind...

The application to build three phone masts on top of Somerset House, a block of flats next to the All England Club - venue for the 2012 tennis tournament - was withdrawn after dozens of complaints were received by the council condemning the equipment as ugly and unsafe.

Well Actually: Some people are allergic to WiFi. It can cause headaches & muscle pains in some people, i know this because i have a friend that can not be around WiFi. Me, i have WiFi in my house and love it, so i am not a WiFi hater. The same type of "allergies" occur with these new "energy efficient" light bulbs. Energy Efficient Light Bulbs emit almost 10 times as much electro magnetic radiation as a regular light bulb. An older friend of mine runs a garage repairing cars, he has around 30 lights in his garage. A few years back he replaced all the lights in his garage with these energy efficient light bulbs. Soon after he had awful pains in his back and arms. Doctors ran tests for a year and could not find any thing wrong. We saw a story on TV about how these light bulbs are causing problems like this in some people, we told him, he removed them and now his pains are gone.

People can say what they want but i know first hand that people can and do have "allergies" to WiFi and Energy Efficient Bulbs.

Keep up the good work, love listening to BOL while going for my nightly walk.

Nervenklinik setzt Leiharbeiter zur Pflege psychisch Kranker ein

„Einmaliger Vorgang in deutscher Psychiatrie“ – Bsirske besucht Ausgesperrte

„Die Aussperrung von rund 40 Pflegerinnen und Pflegern durch die Geschäftsführung der Lippischen Nervenklinik Dr. Spernau in Bad Salzuflen erlangt bundesweite Aufmerksamkeit. Am Donnerstag (13.8.) will der ver.di-Vorsitzende Frank Bsirske die Ausgesperrten besuchen und sich ein Bild von der Situation in dem psychiatrischen Krankenhaus machen. „Mit zum Teil unausgebildeten Leiharbeitern wird hier auf Kosten von psychisch Kranken versucht, Dumpinglöhne im Pflegebereich durchzusetzen.

Leiharbeiter pflegen in der Psychiatrie

„Was ist los mit Alexander?« Hunderte Aufkleber mit dieser Frage zieren das Kurstädtchen Bad Salzuflen in Nordrhein- Westfalen. Gemeint ist Alexander Spernau, Inhaber und Geschäftsführer der Lippischen Nervenklinik Dr. Spernau (LNK). 1993 hat er die Geschäftsführung der Klinik von seinem Großvater übernommen. Außerdem gehören ihm eine Verwaltungsgesellschaft für Grundvermögen in Bad Salzuflen und die AS Invest UG in Dortmund. Seit fast zwei Jahren weigert er sich beharrlich, mit den Beschäftigten der Klinik einen Tarifvertrag abzuschließen. Diese demonstrierten am Samstag erneut gegen Spernaus Verweigerungspolitik und gegen die Aussperrung von 38 Kolleginnen und Kollegen…“ Artikel von Roswitha Müller in der jungen Welt vom 25.08.2009 http://www.jungewelt.de/2009/08-25/035.php

The debt crisis cannot be solved with more debt

Ludwig von Mises Institute
by David Saied

08/11/09

The principal problem with the current economic crisis is that the authorities are trying to solve the debt crisis by adding more debt — which is akin to trying to cure a viral infection by injecting more viruses. In case some have forgotten, the United States is undergoing a serious credit crisis, that is, a debt crisis. All sectors of the American economy are suffering from a chronic addiction to credit, which manifests itself as the disease of excess debt. Household, business, and public debt have reached all-time highs...

Foreclosure levels unlikely to fall

Cato Institute
by Mark A. Calabria

08/06/09

Why have efforts of President Barack Obama’s administration to reduce foreclosures had so little impact? In response to this embarrassment, the Obama administration has called the largest mortgage servicers to Washington, and Congress has held at least three hearings over the last few weeks. Undoubtedly, pressure will be applied to the lenders to do more. However, these efforts will largely be fruitless until the administration recognizes the true driving forces behind mortgage foreclosures...

Obama Sells Out To Pharmaceutical Companies

By Barbara O'Brien

In one more sign that the U.S. no longer is a functioning democracy, the Obama Administration has struck a deal with Big Pharma: To win its support for health care reform, the Administration has promised that any reform legislation will ban the government from negotiating lower drug prices. So Big Pharma can charge whatever it wants for patented drugs. In return, the pharmaceuticals soon will begin a $150 million advertising campaign on behalf of reform.

ABC News

08/11/09

Newly released emails from the Bush administration indicate that senior White House aides may have been directly involved in the firing of a U.S. attorney for apparently political reasons. The documents released today by the House Judiciary Committee suggest that the White House was angry at then New Mexico U.S. Attorney David Iglesias because he was not aggressively pursuing the prosecution of a Democratic congressional candidate...

A Vindication for Iglesias?

Michael Isikoff, Newsweek: "The former federal prosecutor at the center of the controversy over the 2006 U.S. attorney firings said today that he feels fully vindicated by newly disclosed e-mails from the Bush White House showing that Karl Rove and his deputies were actively involved in arranging his dismissal from the Justice Department. 'This confirms my worst nightmares,' David Iglesias, the former U.S. attorney in New Mexico, said in an interview with NEWSWEEK. 'There were improper and potentially illegal - as in criminally illegal - reasons for my removal.'"

Southington residents object to cell phone antennas

By: Leslie Hutchison, Record-Journal staff

08/11/2009

SOUTHINGTON - Neighbors who live near a water tank in the area of High Tower Road are concerned about the number of cell phone antennas attached to the 63-foot-tall structure.

"The (cell) towers are right in the middle of the neighborhood," said Elizabeth Pirro, who has lived on High Tower Road for nearly 40 years.

There are now three cell antennas on the tank, the latest addition for Pocket Wireless of San Antonio, Texas. The installation took place in the spring, according to several neighbors.

The public said at a hearing 10 years ago they didn't want any antennas, Pirro said. "I thought they voted not to put any there."
