The Predicted Job Collapse Now in Progress

Jack Rasmus, Truthout: "While politicians and business press pundits last March-April were proclaiming the jobs crisis was over, the prediction came that 'March-April's Job Gains Will Collapse This Summer.' That prediction is now underway with the latest June jobs numbers from the US Department of Labor reported July 8 showing only 18,000 new hires occurring in June. The preceding May jobs report showed an almost as dismal 54,000 jobs created."

Kucinich: Debt Political Theater Diverts Attention While Americans' Wealth Is Stolen

Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) spoke on the House floor about the massive transfer of wealth from the American people to the hands of the few by virtue of wars, energy policies and monetary policies. He called upon Americans to witness Wall Street's theft of Main Street, which has left millions of everyday Americans out of work and seniors facing cuts to Social Security to pay for tax cuts for the rich.

War With Iran? US Neocons Aim to Repeat Chalabi-Style Swindle

Ali Fatemi and Karim Pakravan, Truthout: "In 1991, Iraqi exiles set up the Iraq National Congress (INC) with funding from the CIA. Under the leadership of Ahmad Chalabi, and flush with tens of millions dollars in US government funding, the INC allied itself with the neoconservatives in Washington and unceasingly beat the drums of war, presenting itself as the popular democratic alternative to Saddam Hussein and feeding faulty intelligence to an eager media and Bush administration. Eventually, they succeeded in dragging the United States into disastrous war that cost Americans and Iraqis their lives and caused incalculable damage to American prestige and power. Now, history may be repeating itself."

The Fall of the House of Murdoch

Jonathan Schell, Project Syndicate: "The Murdochs call News Corporation a journalistic enterprise. In fact, it is, first, an entertainment company, with the bulk of its revenue coming from its film and television holdings. Second, and more importantly, it is a propaganda machine for right-wing causes and political figures. This is News Corporation's main face in the US, in the form of Fox News, whose hallmark has been relentless propagation of right-wing ideology. Whereas political propaganda had once been the domain of governments and political parties, Fox News is formally independent of both - though it overwhelmingly serves the interests of America's Republican Party."

How Murdoch Reporters' Bribes to British Cops Violate US Law

Jake Bernstein, ProPublica: 'News International Limited, the British arm of the Murdoch empire, is a subsidiary of News Corp., a publicly traded American company which also owns the Wall Street Journal and Fox News (not to mention the Sunday Times of London, the Times of London, and the British tabloid the Sun). Because of this, experts say, News Corp. and all of its subsidiaries come under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a Watergate-era law which makes it a crime for U.S. companies to participate in bribery abroad.'

Neoliberale Kurpfuscher wüten weiter: Fünf Gründe, warum den internationalen Ratingagenturen die Lizenz entzogen werden muss

?Die «neuen Meister des Kapitals»: So bezeichnete der britische
Politökonom Timothy Sinclair die Ratingagenturen, die die international
gehandelten Wertpapiere bewerten. Sie sind wie Zirkusdompteure: Vor den
Augen der Weltöffentlichkeit lassen sie Regierungen souveräner Staaten
nach ihrer Peitsche tanzen. Sie setzen deren Kreditwürdigkeit herunter.
Die Zinsen steigen, die BürgerInnen zahlen. Und die Banken füllen sich die
Taschen?? Kommentar von Elmar Altvater in der WOZ vom 14.07.2011

Stuttgarter Aufruf: Schluss mit der Abwälzung der Krisenlasten auf die Bevölkerung!

?Die Krise ist nicht vorbei. Sie wird derzeit auf die Bevölkerung
abgewälzt, aber sie wird dadurch nicht überwunden, sondern (im Gegenteil) verschärft reproduziert. Der ?deutsche Weg aus der Krise?, das ?Krisenmanagement des Burgfriedens zum Niederkonkurrieren anderer Volkswirtschaften?, löste die Probleme nur scheinbar und vorübergehend. Lohn- und Sozialdumping ermöglichen gewaltige Exportüberschüsse, aber sie
führen zu massiven Kaufkraftverlusten. Der ?Export-Überschuss-Ausweg? führt logischerweise zu unausgeglichenen Handelsbilanzen und damit zu
dramatischer Verschuldung der Importländer. Immer mehr Schulden werden
aufgehäuft, die niemals zurückgezahlt werden können. Die erzwungenen
Einsparmaßnahmen führen (in den Schuldnerländern noch mehr als in
Deutschland) zu zusammenbrechender Massenkaufkraft. So wird auch der
Export-Ausweg zugebaut und gleichzeitig die nächste Spekulationsblase
aufgebaut. Die Krise kommt mit doppelter Wucht zurück, als
Überproduktions- und als Finanzkrise?? Siehe den Stuttgarter Aufruf,
verabschiedet am 10.07.2011 (pdf)

Armut in einem reichem Land

Wohlverstandener Materialismus - Fünf Anmerkungen zur politischen
Beziehung von Armut und Einkommen

»Mehr Geld« ? noch immer verströmt dies den Geruch des Niederen, ?bloß
Materiellen?, der falschen Anreize, gar Lebensziele. Dem schönen Schein
der materiellen Glücksversprechen auf den Leim gegangen zu sein, wird als
Kritik interessanterweise vor allem dann formuliert, wenn es um die
Lebensführung des modernen Pöbels und dessen Ausstattung mit »allgemeinem Äquivalent« geht. Wolfgang Völker untersucht die Motive dieser
politisch-moralischen Erziehungsveranstaltung. Der Beitrag ist ein
Vorabdruck aus der nächsten Ausgabe der Widersprüche, die unter dem Titel
»Hinten anstellen. Zur Regulation von Armut in der aktivierten
Bürgergesellschaft« als H. 119/120 im Verlag Westfälisches Dampfboot
erscheinen wird. Artikel von Wolfgang Völker
