Brazil Deforestation Quagmire

Elizabeth Rust, Council on Hemispheric Affairs: 'A string of recent events indicates that Amazonian deforestation and violence against environmental activists are on the rise. The Brazilian Congress s lower house approves a bill that weakens protection of the rainforest - which may explain the drastic increase in deforestation, as land clearers anticipate amnesty for their crimes. Given Brazil s historical disregard for the Amazon rainforest s global importance, and the legislature's evident lack of commitment to resolving the issue, a strong and long-term executive response is urgently needed.'

Congressional Republicans Hack Away at Medicaid While the Rich Hollow It Out From the Inside

Russ Wellen, Truthout: 'Republican assaults on social service programs have finally yielded some significant advances, with the Obama administration offering to push the eligibility age for Medicare up from age 65 to 67. Also, as part of a bargain to raise the debt ceiling, the administration has offered to dial down cost-of-living increases in Social Security benefits. But it s Medicaid, which, as the health provider of last resort for the most vulnerable segment of society, has long been a tempting target for Republicans.'

The Wisconsin Workers Uprising

Part 2

Making Contact, National Radio Project: 'Was the occupation of the state capital in Madison, Wisconsin a resurgence of organized labor in the United States? Or the last gasp for unionized workers, as they face continual erosion of their rights. This week, we hear Part 2 of a retrospective documentary on the 2011 Wisconsin uprising, produced by Workers Independent News.'

'Totaler Krieg' um Stuttgart 21

Fronten verhärten sich immer weiter, Schlichter Geißler und S21-Befürworter versuchen, das Ergebnis des Stresstests schönzureden.

Stuttgart 21: Das dümmste Großprojekt?

Fortschritt sieht anders aus: Vor 15 Jahren fuhr die Bahn in zwei Stunden und fünf Minuten von Stuttgart nach München. Heute braucht sie für dieselbe Strecke zwei Stunden und 19 Minuten. Doch mit Hilfe von Stuttgart 21 soll ja jetzt bald alles wieder schneller gehen: ganze 26 Minuten schneller soll die gleiche Strecke werden. Aber dafür will die Bahn viele Milliarden Euro investieren.

Proteste gegen das Bahnprojekt Stuttgart 21

S21: '... wer entscheidet?'

Bei der 88. Montagskundgebung gegen Stuttgart 21 sprach der bei Behr gekündigte Betriebsrat Mehmet Sahin zu den DemonstrantInnen: "(...) Wenn es bei S21 darum ginge Arbeitsplätze zu schaffen, dann könnte mit dem Geld ein Mehrfaches an sinnvollen öffentlichen Arbeiten finanziert werden. Und zwar nach Tarif und nicht mit Billiglöhnen, wie das jetzt von Bahn und Baufirmen geplant wird! (...) Der Kampf um S21 ist nicht nur ein Konflikt um Verkehr und Umwelt. Es ist ein tiefer sozialer Konflikt! Es ist auch ein Konflikt um die Demokratie, also um die Frage wie entschieden wird. Wie entscheiden, heißt aber immer auch wer entscheidet? (...)" Das Video auf der Webseite von Thomas Trueten 24.08.2011 http://www.trueten.de/archives/7278-S21-...-wer-entscheidet.html
