- Sarkozy et Linky: ULTIMATUM à ERDF (Communiqué en Urgence)

10. Februar 2011

Die stellvertretende Vorsitzende der LINKEN, Katja Kipping, wirft Union und FDP nach den gescheiterten Hartz-IV-Gesprächen einen ?Putsch gegen die Verfassung? vor. Kipping äußert die Hoffnung auf ein baldiges Eingreifen des Bundesverfassungsgerichts, um eine deutliche Regelsatzanhebung zu erreichen. Sie erklärt:

Union und FDP haben jede Bewegung beim Regelsatz blockiert. Das war ein Putsch gegen die Verfassung. SPD und Grüne waren nicht in der Lage, echten Druck aufzubauen. Herausgekommen ist eine Nullnummer. Bei Hartz IV werden praktisch längst durch die Hintertür die Leistungen gekürzt, obwohl die Schmerzgrenze längst überschritten ist. Das provoziert Unmut und auf Dauer soziale Unruhen. So kann man weder mit den Millionen Betroffenen noch mit dem höchsten deutschen Gericht umgehen. Spätestens dann wenn das Verfassungsgericht angerufen wird, wird es per Anordnung nachholen müssen, was die Politik verweigert hat. Das Gericht urteilt nicht nach Kassenlage sondern nach Rechtslage. Maßgeblich ist die Verfassung, und die sagt, dass die Würde des Menschen unantastbar ist.

There's been a lot of hysteria about Wikileaks. Negative propaganda has made many people hostile to the organization and its leader, Julian Assange. Sadly, national security is like a religion for many Americans. When the Political Priests of the National Security State rattle their sabers it becomes heretical to take the contrary view...

Campaign For Liberty Campaign For Liberty
by Andrew Napolitano

02/09/11

The compromise version of the Patriot Act to which House and Senate conferees agreed last week and for which the House voted yesterday is an unforgivable assault on basic American values and core constitutional liberties. Unless amended in response to the courageous efforts of a few dozen senators from both parties, the new Patriot Act will continue to give federal agents the power to write their own search warrants -- the statute?s newspeak terminology calls them 'national security letters' -- and serve them on a host of persons and entities that regularly gather and store sensitive, private information on virtually every American...

An average of two children per day were killed in Afghanistan last year, with areas of the once peaceful north now among the most dangerous, an independent Afghan rights watchdog said Wednesday. The Afghanistan Rights Monitor (ARM) said in a report that, of the 2,421 civilians the group registered as killed in conflict-related security incidents in 2010, some 739 were under the age of 18...

Military veterans are much more likely to be homeless than other Americans, according to the government's first in-depth study of homelessness among former servicemembers. About 16% of homeless adults in a one-night survey in January 2009 were veterans, though vets make up only 10% of the adult population...

Negative Home Equity Surges, Weighing on Housing "Recovery"

A full 27 percent of borrowers are now "underwater" on their mortgages, up from 23 percent in the previous quarter, according to a new report from Zillow. Foreclosure moratoriums and falling home prices are to blame.

The US has broken off high-level contacts with Pakistan as it increases pressure on Islamabad to free an American official who shot dead two Pakistanis, according to sources from both countries.

Pakistan defence photos found in US official's camera

"It is strongly recommended that a case of espionage be registered against Davis,' the prosecution branch of the Punjab police has written in an official letter to the investigation branch.

American's fake IDs, spy gadgets stoke Pakistani anger

The mystery about what Davis was doing with these gadgets has touched directly on Pakistani resentment of the large U.S. security presence. Such U.S. employees roam the country freely and are not answerable to the Pakistani authorities.

As the news broke on Saturday that former President George W. Bush had abruptly canceled his scheduled appearance this week in Geneva to avoid the risk of arrest on a torture complaint, my first thought was - how humiliating, not only for Bush but, by extension, for all Americans.

The bases would enable US troops to remain in the area beyond the planned transfer of security responsibility from US and NATO troops to Afghan forces by end of 2014, a process due to begin in the spring.

When the Soviet empire collapsed, the way was opened for the triumphalist pursuit of the American imperial project, seizing the opportunity for geopolitical expansion provided by its self-anointed global leadership - as 'the sole surviving superpower'.

Let?s go to Plan B

by Philip Giraldi

02/10/11

Albert Einstein is often quoted as saying that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is a definition of insanity. He might have been describing the foreign policy of the United States of America. In the past week we long suffering citizens have seen our government stand by the dictator in Egypt, then call on him to go, and most recently support his staying on while at the same time publicly demanding that some transition start immediately. All of which is not doing the same thing over and over except when one considers that the US Department of State and White House have followed precisely the same dysfunctional pattern when dealing with other client states throughout the Middle East and in Central Asia...
