Ellen Brown, Truthout: 'On May 16, The Wall Street Journal published an opinion piece titled 'The Armageddon Lobby,' which claimed that a 'technical default' on the federal debt was just 'political melodrama' and not really a big deal: '[B]ond markets can figure out the difference between a genuine default when a country can t pay its bills and a technical default of a few days if it serves the purpose of fixing America's fiscal mess.' It is not just that the government could be brought to a standstill, with a third of its bills now being paid by borrowing, or that interest rates would shoot up, forcing thousands of homeowners into foreclosure. Failure to pay on the national debt could trigger a default on the global reserve currency.'

Obama Subtly Shifts War Aims in Libya

By ERIC SCHMITT and DAVID E. SANGER

'The goal is to make sure that the Libyan people can make a determination about how they want to proceed, and that they'll be finally free of 40 years of tyranny and they can start creating the institutions required for self-determination.' That is quite parallel to the objective the United States set in Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003.

The assassination of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden did more than knock off America s Public Enemy Number One, it formalized a new kind of warfare, where sovereignty is irrelevant, armies tangential, and decisions are secret.

The Nation Blog
by Peter Rothberg

As my colleague George Zornick reports from Congress, in a surprisingly close contest today, the House rejected an amendment sponsored by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) which called for a withdrawal plan from Afghanistan, preferably one that outlines an 'aggressive' drawdown of troops. It lost by only 11 votes, 215-204. Nonetheless, the vote is the strongest yet for McGovern s exit initiative and sends a united Democratic message to the president and people that momentum may finally be shifting toward some sort of organized withdrawal plan...

HB 1937, a bill to stop the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from employing invasive pat-downs of travelers' private parts unless there is probable cause, has garnered broad support in Texas. ... With the bill scheduled for a Senate floor vote, the DOJ issued an ultimatum to the leadership of the Texas legislature. Either Texas backs off and continues to let government employees fondle innocent women, children and men as a condition of travel, or the TSA will cancel Texas flights...

Der Artikel 'The U.S.: Where Europe comes to slum' von Harold Mayerson am 15. Mai 2011 in der LA Times handelt nicht nur von der Deutschen Bank, sondern von deutschen und europäischen unternehmen insgesamt, die in den Süden der USA kommen, mit denselben Absichten, mit denen sie etwa nach China gehen: gewerkschaftslos und billig. Er behandelt aber am ausführlichsten das aktuelle Geschäftsmodell der Deutschen Bank in der US-Wohnungsbranche nach der Baukrise, der Bauspekulationskrise. zerfallen lassen lohnt sich - und die Staatsanwaltschaft von Los Angeles weigert sich, die Erklärung hinzunehmen, es seien wieder einmal Subunternehmen die Schuldigen..: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-meyerson-europeans-20110515,0,3990894.story

Siehe dazu auch: 'Die Stadt Milwaukee führt die Deutsche Bank als Treuhänder von 151 Immobilien im Januar 2011 auf. Von 2005 bis Januar 2010 hat die Bank 3.046 städtische Verfügungen für 1.230 Immobilien mit 14..970 individuellen Vorschriftsverletzungen erhalten. Zwischen Juni 2010 und Mai 2011 hat die Stadt 364 zusätzliche Verfügungen für 172 Deutsche-Bank-Immobilien mit 2071 individuellen Verletzungen ausgestellt. Die durchschnittlichen Abrisskosten für verlassene Immobilien, deren Reparatur sich nicht mehr lohnt, belaufen sich für die Stadt auf 12.000 Dollar' die Presseerklärung 13/2011 "Deutsche Bank verantwortlich für Zerstörung von Sozialkapital - Common Ground und Kritische Aktionäre fordern bei Hauptversammlung der Deutschen Bank Entschädigung für Milwaukee" (pdf - Datei) die deutlich macht, dass es sich keineswegs um Einzelfälle handelt - und dass es Widerstand gibt: http://kritischeaktionaere.de/fileadmin/Dokumente/Pressemitteilungen_2011/CG_KA_Pressemitteilung_2011-05-25.pdf

Weiter wie gehabt oder Risse im Atomstaat?

'Nicht alle sind unglücklich über die Katastrophe. Nicolas Sarkozy zum Beispiel fand, dass der mehrfache Atomunfall im japanischen Fukushima dem nationalen Interesse Frankreichs eher zuträglich sei. Am 13. März 11, keine zwei Tage nach Beginn der Reaktorhavarie am Pazifikufer, posaunte sein Berater und Redenschreiber Henri Guaino es im RTL-Interview hinaus: 'Das dürfte unsere Atomindustrie eher begünstigen, gegenüber den Industrien anderer Länder, in denen die Sicherheit eher als ein bisschen zweitrangig behandelt wurde.' - so beginnt 'Risse im Atomstaat' (pdf-Datei) von Bernard Schmid vom 26. Mai 2011, ein Beitrag in dem die Haltung der Gewerkschaften - und potenzielle Veränderungen - Thema sind:

Lügen enttarnt - Reaktionen verschwiegen...

Die Kernschmelze findet also seit Monaten statt, der Rest war Lüge. Über die Reaktionen der betroffenen Menschen jedoch wird weitgehend zumeist geschwiegen, zumal wenn sie nicht ins Bild des Propagandisten passen. Der Bericht 'Iwaki City, Fukushima: Report from the Stricken Area' beim Japan-Fissures Blog vom 21. Mai 2011 ist ein Reisebericht, der sich vor allem um die Haltung der Menschen kümmert: http://jfissures.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/iwaki-city-fukushima-report-from-the-stricken-area/#more-370

Siehe dazu auch: 'Fukushima Farmers have risen up in unity' der Doro-Chiba Quake Report Nummer 21 vom 23. Mai 2011, der sich ausführlich mit dem wachsenden Widerstand der Bauern und Bäuerinnen der Fukushimaregion befasst - wie immer auf der eigens dafür eingerichteten Doro-Chiba-Newsletterseite: http://dorochibanewsletter.wordpress.com/
