Krebs durch Öko-Kraftwerk?

Zu "Das Volkskraftwerk", taz vom 10.09.09:

Das "Volkskraftwerk" hat einen entscheidenden Haken: Nach derzeitiger Planung soll die Datenverbindung zu den Anlagen per Mobilfunk hergestellt werden. Das bedeutet eine Rechtfertigung für überhöhte Sendeleistungen der Mobilfunksender, denn schließlich müssen auch Anlagen tief im Stahlbetonkeller erreicht werden. Und wenn noch kein Mobilfunksender in der Nähe steht, muss schnell einer gebaut werden... Wirklich nachhaltige "grüne" Politik sollte stattdessen eine Datenübertragung per Telefonleitung fordern.

Jeff Leys, Truthout: "On Wednesday, President Obama addressed a joint session of Congress on health care. Later this year, he will decide whether to deploy additional troops to the war in Afghanistan on top of the 69,000 troops already deployed. The struggle for health care and the struggle to end warfare are inextricably linked."

Heiko Kohlmeyer (gelernter Lebensmitteltechniker, 39) aus Hamburg setzt sich gegen den FDP Vorsitzenden Guido Westerwelle zur Wehr und stellt einen Strafantrag bei der Polizei wegen Beleidigung. Westerwelle hatte am Wochenende gegenüber der Saarbrücker Zeitung gesagt: "Es gibt kein Recht auf staatlich bezahlte Faulheit". Für den FDP Politiker sei es unerträglich, wenn Arbeitslose in Talk-Shows erklären würden, sie lebten von Hartz-IV und würden dennoch "schwarz arbeiten gehen". "Die werden bei uns kein Geld bekommen", so Westerwelle.

Want to Fight deflation? Give a Worker a Raise

By Mike Whitney

The slight rebound in housing looks a lot different when one considers how much the Fed is meddling in the market. Fed chair Ben Bernanke has purchased $240 billion in US Treasuries to keep long-term interest rates artificially low while--at the same time--buying $740 billion in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities (MBS) to provide the financing for new home buyers.

Insurance Stocks Rise After Obama Speech

Remember President Obama's reference during his health care address to "Wall Street's relentless profit expectations"? Well, those expectations were apparently met by that same address. Insurance company stocks got a boost from the speech, which foreshadowed the death of the public option and promised to deliver millions of currently "irresponsible" customers.

Ameisenbär lebt im Cerrado

Der Ölmulti BP will 4 Milliarden Euro in Brasilien investieren, um aus Zuckerrohr Ethanol zu produzieren. Die erste Ethanolfabrik wurde bereits im vergangenen Jahr in Betrieb genommen, eine zweite befindet sich in Planung. Mit Ethanol lässt sich zurzeit viel Geld verdienen. Es wird Autokraftstoffen beigemischt, um als vermeintlicher „Bio-Sprit“ die Klimabilanz zu schönen. Die dafür benötigten riesigen Zuckerrohrmonokulturen zerstören in Brasilien die Savannen des Cerrado und bedroht die Regenwälder.

Mit großer Bestürzung haben wir erfahren, dass am Mittwoch in Japans Fischerort Taiji die ersten Delfine der diesjährigen Saison gefangen wurden: 100 Große Tümmler und 50 Grindwale wurden in eine Bucht getrieben. Der Fischerort Taiji ist für das grausamste Delfinmassaker der Welt bekannt: Jährlich werden dort etwa 2.000 Delfine in eine Bucht getrieben und mit Speeren und Messern qualvoll getötet. Ihr Fleisch wird in Japans Supermärkten verkauft.

Seitdem der aufrüttelnde Film "The Cove - die Bucht" (läuft ab 22.10. in deutschen Kinos) in einigen Ländern bereits für Aufsehen gesorgt hat, sehen sich Japans Politiker und Fischer jedoch scharfer Kritik ausgesetzt. Deshalb haben wir jetzt bessere Chancen denn je, die grausame Delfinjagd in Japan zu stoppen - wenn Sie mithelfen!

1) Protestieren Sie online unter www.prowildlife.de/Protestaktion bei dem japanischen Fischereiminister!

2) Leiten Sie dieses Email an fünf Freunde und Bekannte weiter, damit die Protestwelle weiter anwächst!

Herzlichen Dank für Ihre Hilfe!

11. September 2009

Parteivorstand und Bundestagsfraktion der LINKEN rufen gemeinsam mit Bürgerrechtlerinnen und Bürgerrechtlern und zahlreichen Organisationen bundesweit zur Teilnahme am internationalen Aktionstag gegen die ausufernde Überwachung durch Wirtschaft und Staat auf. Dazu erklärt Jan Korte, MdB und Mitglied des Parteivorstandes:

Die Bundestagswahl wird in besonderem Maße auch eine Abstimmung über den weiteren Gehalt unserer Demokratie. Entweder weiterer Grundrechteabbau á la Schäuble oder eine Trendwende hin zu tatsächlichem Datenschutz, einer Stärkung der Bürgerrechte und gegen den drohenden präventiven Sicherheitsstaat. Am Samstag, den 12. September 2009 werden Bürgerinnen und Bürger in Berlin unter dem Motto "Freiheit statt Angst - Stoppt den Überwachungswahn!" auf die Straße gehen. Treffpunkte sind der Neptunbrunnen vor dem Roten Rathaus um 13.00 Uhr und der Potsdamer Platz um 15.00 Uhr, wo die Großdemonstration starten wird. Die ständig neuen Datenschutzskandale in der Privatwirtschaft dürfen nicht vergessen lassen, dass der größte Datenkrake im Land der Staat ist. Mit seiner law-and-order-Politik greift er seit Jahren immer tiefer in die Privatsphäre der Bürger ein und ein Ende ist nicht in Sicht. Persönlichkeitsrechte, Datenschutz, Unschuldsvermutung, Intimsphäre, politische Freiheiten – all das soll dem Kontrollwahn weichen. In den letzten Jahren jagte eine Gesetzesverschärfung die nächste. Wer noch etwas auf Grundrechte gibt, wird mit dem Vorwurf überzogen, mit Schwerverbrechern zu sympathisieren. Dieser Entwicklung muss endlich Einhalt geboten werden. DIE LINKE will, dass die Bürgerinnen und Bürger die Kontrolle über ihre Daten zurück erlangen. Wir wollen Freiheitsrechte nicht auf dem Altar des Überwachungsstaates opfern, sondern verteidigen sie – im Parlament und auf der Straße. Deswegen unterstützen wir seit dem Jahr 2007 die Demonstrationen "Freiheit statt Angst".

The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have ensnarled the military in long conflicts that have cost the lives of thousands of young Americans and inched the country toward fiscal calamity. In so doing, they have also weakened American security. Stirring exaltations and pithy quotes can do nothing to alter that...

A number of major events in the past few years reinforce the notion that the U.S. is on a path of failure, not success. ‘Major’ means an event that involves near a trillion dollars or into the multi-trillions. A key variable in the success or failure of a nation and government like ours is the production of wealth. We the People produce this wealth. When our government selects strategies that impair the production of wealth and that destroy wealth, it causes failure. Let’s look at six major government strategies that are causing major failure. There are many more. In each case, there is a pattern of persistence. The government failures do not deter it from continuing the failed strategy. The government enlarges them. The end result of such behavior is the ruination of the country...

09/10/09

Most people learn about the relation between the rise of big business and the growth of government in the form of what amounts to a morality play. In the most widely disseminated version, presented in nearly every American history textbook, the emergence of big business (playing the role of the devil) is said to have given rise to a variety of evils and abuses–monopoly power, pollution, exploitation of workers, and so forth. Matthew Josephson tells this story in rousing (if not scrupulously factual) style in his 1934 classic, The Robber Barons. The masses are said to have cried out for relief and to have pressed their political representatives to enact protective legislation. Thus emerged, most markedly during the Progressive, New Deal, and Great Society periods, a profusion of government programs, regulatory agencies, and direct government participation in economic life (divine intervention, as it were), which served to shield the public from the otherwise crushing weight of brutal laissez-faire capitalism. A competing tale, popular among many libertarians and some left-radicals, presents the rise of big business as leading directly to satanic endeavors. This version maintains that the big businessmen, however virtuous they might have been at the outset, ran into trouble because of rampant competition among the emergent big firms. To suppress this irksome, profit-sapping market phenomenon, they used their wealth diabolically to influence or bribe lawmakers to create government programs, regulatory agencies, and so forth that, in effect, allowed them to wield the government’s coercive power in the service of propping up their cartels, suppressing competition, and maintaining excessive profits...

A year after Capt. Sam Brown was set ablaze when a bomb blew up his Humvee in Afghanistan, the 25-year-old West Point graduate endures a steady schedule of painful surgery and stretching to break up knotty burn scars. He also has another routine: checking a Web site that counts U.S. and coalition troop deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. For Brown, it’s one more regular reminder that the wars have not ended — something he says many Americans seem to have forgotten...

Controversial plans to build a mobile phone mast close to an Inverness primary school have been rejected by a Scottish Government reporter.

Vodafone wanted to build a 40ft mast at the St Ninian Drive and St John’s Avenue junction, next to Dalneigh Primary School.

The proposal was unanimously rejected by the Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey planning committee in February, against the advice of council officers who had advised them that refusal on health grounds was “not a material planning consideration” and that citing visual impact would also be irrelevant.

Questioning World Bank Palm Oil Funding and Forest Carbon Finance in Indonesia

By Rainforest Rescue, http://www.rainforest-rescue.org/ with Ecological Internet's Rainforest Portal, http://www.rainforestportal.org/ September 11, 2009

TAKE ACTION HERE NOW: http://www.rainforestportal.org/shared/alerts/send.aspx?id=world_bank_indo_forests

Ombudsman report on 20 years of corrupt IFC, World Bank Group lending to the Indonesian oil palm industry casts doubt on Bank's fitness to manage international forest carbon funds that may emerge at Copenhagen climate talks. It is time for the World Bank to end finance of oil palm, sustainable forest management, paper pulp and other industrial rainforest developments known to be the root causes of deforestation, degradation and climate change. The Bank must permanently end financial support for these industrial developments impacting primary rainforests, or it is the wrong entity to administer forest carbon monies.

NOTE: This alert is part of EI's campaign to protect and restore old forests globally. After sending this protest you are forwarded to several other related crucial and ongoing alerts, which we ask you to please send as well.

How 9/11 Should Be Remembered

Rebecca Solnit, TomDispatch.com: "Eight years ago, 2,600 people lost their lives in Manhattan, and then several million people lost their story. The al-Qaeda attack on the Twin Towers did not defeat New Yorkers. It destroyed the buildings, contaminated the region, killed thousands, and disrupted the global economy, but it most assuredly did not conquer the citizenry.
