Nick Mottern, Truthout: "How is the United States using its 'all volunteer' military, and is this not violating basic civil and human rights of US military personnel and their families? Moreover, it is important to examine how apparent violations of the constitutional rights of US military and their families are a direct result of US violation of rights of the peoples of Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan."

The America Where They Do Prosecute Torture

Sam Ferguson, Truthout: "Last week, 15 men entered a courthouse facing, amongst other crimes, 181 counts of torture. Their story, tragically, is familiar: in a fight against terrorism, the men allegedly kidnapped and held detainees in unknown black sites. They subjected the prisoners to brutal forms of interrogation, such as waterboarding, sensory deprivation and simulated executions. They denied the detainees all legal recourse, and they defended their secret practices as essential to combating an elusive enemy who refused to play by the rules."

Staatsanwaltschaft ermittelt gegen den FDP-Bürgerschaftsabgeordneten Oliver Möllenstädt

Der Vorwurf: Volksverhetzung gegen Hartz IV Bezieher

Bremen. Die Bremer Staatsanwaltschaft hat nach Angaben der Fraktionsvorsitzende der Linken in der Bürgerschaft, Monique Troedel, ein Verfahren gegen den FDP Bürgerschaftsabgeordneten Dr. Oliver Möllenstädt eingeleitet. Hintergrund des Verfahrens sind die beleidigenen Äußerungen des FDP Politikers zum Thema Verhütungsmittel-Kostenerstattungen für Frauen im Hartz IV Bezug. Anfang Dezember 2009 hatte Dr. Möllenstädt öffentlich gefordert, die Gesundheitsämter sollen die Kosten für Verhütungsmittel und Sterilisation bei Hartz-IV-Bezieherinnen übernehmen. Gleichzeitig sprach sich der FDP Abgeordnete gegen eine Anhebung der ALG II Regelsätze für Frauen aus. Laut dem FDP Politiker sei eine Erhöhung des Hartz- IV Regelsatzes nicht ratsam, da ALG II Bezieherinnen das Geld eher zum nächsten "Schnapsladen" tragen, als es zur Vorsorge und selbstbestimmten Familienplanung zu verwenden.

Once stigmatized, food stamps find acceptance

MSNBC

02/10/10

A decade ago, New York City officials were so reluctant to give out food stamps, they made people register one day and return the next just to get an application. The welfare commissioner said the program caused dependency and the poor were ‘better off’ without it. Now the city urges the needy to seek aid (in languages from Albanian to Yiddish). Neighborhood groups recruit clients at churches and grocery stores, with materials that all but proclaim a civic duty to apply — to ‘help New York farmers, grocers, and businesses’...

Anthrax War

Video Documentary

In tracing the 2001 bio-terror attacks in the U.S. to the heart of the U.S. bio-defense program, this film raises an alarm. These attacks that helped prepare a country for war have also spawned a multi-billion dollar bio-defense boom. The line between bio-offense and bio-defense is becoming extremely thin.
