Jason Coppola, Truthout: 'On March 28, President Obama, in his address to the nation concerning events in Libya, declared, 'Wherever people long to be free, they will find a friend in the United States.' Here at home, it's been a different story. The violations of the treaties threaten the very way of life of the Lakota as uranium mining runoff poisons their land and water with radioactive waste and they continue their fight to live according to their 'traditional value system in rejection of a colonized world view,' says Sicangu Lakota linguist and lifelong activist Rosalie Little Thunder.'

Laut Medienberichten, die sich auf Informationen der Bundesagentur für Arbeit beziehen, ist ein deutlicher Anstieg der Hartz-IV-Aufstockerzahlen für dieses Jahr nachweisbar. Dazu erklärt die stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende der LINKEN und Vorsitzende des Bundestagsausschusses für Arbeit und Soziales, Katja Kipping:

Die hohen Aufstockerzahlen bei Hartz IV sind ein Indiz für die Verbreitung von Lohndumping in Deutschland. Besonders im Osten reichen viele Löhne nicht für ein Leben oberhalb der Armutsgrenze. Für DIE LINKE ist es nicht akzeptabel, dass Hungerlöhne durch staatliche Unterstützung für die Betroffenen erst möglich werden. Das ist faktisch eine staatliche Subventionierung der Unternehmen, die Hungerlöhne zahlen. Die hohen Aufstockerzahlen zeigen einmal mehr, wie wichtig die Einführung eines flächendeckenden Mindestlohns in Deutschland ist, der von Schwarz-Gelb seit Jahren verhindert wird. Die Regierungskoalition verweigert den Mindestlohn und schröpft die öffentlichen Kassen für die Subvention von Hungerlöhnen.

Der Verzicht auf die Finanztransaktionssteuer ist der Kniefall vor Herrn Ackermann und der Bankenlobby

Die Bundesregierung will weiter nur kleine und mittlere Einkommen schröpfen, statt endlich auch Reiche und Vermögende zur Kasse zu bitten, um die Löcher in den öffentlichen Haushalten zu stopfen, kritisiert die Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Gesine Lötzsch:

Es ist ein Kniefall vor Herrn Ackermann und der Bankenlobby, wenn Bundesfinanzminister Schäuble verkündet, dass er die Finanztransaktionssteuer nicht durchsetzen kann. Er verzichtet damit bewusst auf mindestens 2 Milliarden Euro Mehreinnahmen jährlich, die sich aus Spekulationsgeschäften von Reichen und Vermögenden speisen. Die LINKE fordert, die Steuerlasten gerecht zu verteilen. Die Steuermehreinnahmen müssen zu einem Drittel für die Beseitigung von Armut sowie die Entlastung kleiner und mittlerer Einkommen genutzt werden. Ein Drittel der Steuermehreinnahmen muss in eine sozial-ökologische Energiewende investiert und das letzte Drittel sollte für den Schuldenabbau genutzt werden.

The American Prospect
by Matthew Yglesias

05/12/11

When the United States launched its post-September 11 military actions against Afghanistan, the George W. Bush administration issued to the Taliban a set of demands. The Taliban refused to comply, so we went to war. The conventional wisdom has been that the war isn t going well, but the death last week of Osama bin Laden is just the latest and most definitive sign that it s a war we have actually already won...

The bin Laden dividend

Salon
by Glenn Greenwald

05/12/11

Numerous people have argued that one potential benefit from the death of Osama bin Laden is that it will enable the U.S. Government to diminish its war commitments in that part of the world and finally arrest the steady erosion of civil liberties perpetrated in the name of the War on Terror (as though any of that is the government s goal). By contrast, I have argued from the start that the bin Laden killing is likely to change nothing of any significance ...

Some Final Thoughts on the Death of Osama bin Laden

Michael Moore, Michael Moore s Blog: 'We did exactly what bin Laden said he wanted us to do: Give up our freedoms (like the freedom to be assumed innocent until proven guilty), engage our military in Muslim countries so that we will be hated by Muslims and wipe ourselves out financially in doing so. Done, done and done, Osama. You had our number. You somehow knew we would eagerly give up our constitutional rights and become more like the authoritarian state you dreamed of. You knew we would exhaust our military and willingly go into more debt in eight years than we had accumulated in the previous 200 years combined.... If we really want to send bin Laden not just to his death, but also to his defeat, may I suggest that we reverse all of that right now.'

Campaign For Liberty

The 342-page USA Patriot Act passed without inquiry into whether arming the government with muscular investigatory tools justified the corresponding intrusions on the right to be left alone -- the right most valued by civilized people. The Patriot Act was portrayed as a necessary defense against foreign agents and international terrorists. Citizen liberties were relegated to extras in a Cecil B. De Mille cinematic extravaganza...

Adam Smith Institute

Like most other bubbles, it is a product of sustained government policies designed to privilege a special interest group - in this case, homeowners. Government after government has tried to keep the bubble inflated to avoid their wrath. The more people throw their life?s savings into housing, the more the pressure on government grows to protect these investments. The consequences for the rest of the country have been ruinous: increased cost of rents, urban sprawl, inflation and a shortage of affordable homes...

The reality is that empires never dissolve themselves: they hang on to the bitter end, living on dreams of past glory and stubbornly refusing to see the signs of decline that are obvious to any objective observer.

A U.S. drone aircraft fired missiles at militants in Pakistan Thursday, killing eight of them, Pakistani officials said, as American officials vowed to press forward with such attacks after U.S. forces killed Osama bin Laden in his Pakistani hideout. The third such strike since bin Laden s killing on May 2 indicated an intensification of the attacks compared with the weeks before the al-Qaida chief was shot dead in the U.S. raid on a compound in the Pakistani garrison town of Abbottabad...

Abschalten! Anti-Atom-Proteste gehen weiter

Demonstrationen am 28. Mai und weitere Termine

Ähnlich wie schon bei RWE zwei Wochen zuvor gingen auch die Proteste bei der Eon-Hauptversammlung in Essen durch alle Medien. Wir möchten die historische Chance nutzen und den Druck aufrechterhalten! Atomprofite ? Nein Danke! Das ist auch unser Slogan etwa bei der Gegendemo zur Sitzung des Atomforums, des größten deutschen Atomlobbyverbands, ab 16. Mai in Berlin. Am 28. Mai wird es dezentrale Demonstrationen in 21 Städten in ganz Deutschland geben. Und ab 11. Juni haben verschiedene Organisationen zu Brokdorf-Blockaden aufgerufen, an denen sich auch Attacies beteiligen werden. Weitere Infos auf unserer Anti-Atom-Sonderseite.
