Ex-commander: US started Afghan war lacking info
Pasadena Star-News

10/06/11

The U.S. began the war in Afghanistan with a 'frighteningly simplistic' view of the country, and even 10 years later lacks knowledge that could help bring the conflict to a successful end, a former top commander said Thursday. Retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal said in remarks at the Council on Foreign Relations that the U.S. and its NATO allies are only 'a little better than' 50 percent of the way to reaching their war goals.'

The ten-year war

Independent Institute
by Anthony Gregory

10/05/11

Ten years ago this Friday, the United States invaded Afghanistan. Why? To destroy the Taliban and bring democracy, we were told. The Taliban is still there. Democracy in a meaningful sense is not. And although al Qaeda is virtually absent, the fighting there rages on...

Occupy Wall Street: The Most Important Thing in the World Now

By Naomi Klein

When people are panicked and desperate and no one seems to know what to do, that is the ideal time to push through their wish list of pro-corporate policies: privatizing education and social security, slashing public services, getting rid of the last constraints on corporate power.

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'Class warfare has once again entered the vocabulary of mainstream national politics, but this time with a strange twist. Right-wing politicians such as Paul Ryan and various high-profile conservative media pundits and corporate-funded think-tank spokespersons have made visible what ruling classes have long tried to bury beneath the discourse of meritocracy and the myth of the classless society - that is, the harsh consequences of class power, hierarchical rule and savage inequality.'

Paul Mutter, Truthout: 'Wednesday, October 5 constituted the largest mass action so far in support of the Occupy Wall Street activists who have established a base camp in Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan. The evening march, which counted as many as 10,000-20,000 participants, included many new supporters and a large number of union workers from National Nurses United, the Transport Workers Union, Services Workers International Union, the Teamsters as well as the city s teachers' and public service employees' unions, among others.'

What Role for Labor in the Progressive Uprising? A Conversation With Stephen Lerner

Amy Dean, Truthout: 'No force did more to build the American middle class than organized labor. In recent decades, however, unions have been decimated. Despite concerted efforts to turn the tide, the movement now represents only 7 percent of workers in the private sector. Never have working people in this country been more in need of a collective voice. Yet, we must ask, can labor alone create the change we need? If it can t do it by itself, what role can unions play in supporting a wider progressive uprising?

New Restrictive Voting Rules Could Hurt Five Million Americans

Jorge Rivas, ColorLines: 'A new study from the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU puts forth an ominous prediction: five million voters could be affected by the deluge of restrictive voting laws that have swept the country in recent years. The report finds that the voters are from traditionally Democratic demographics and could be kept away from the polling booths in 2012. Importantly, the sheer number of voters who could be impacted is larger than the margin of victory in two of the last three presidential elections.'

Watch Your Health and Your Pocketbook: A Bipartisan Scheme for Regulatory Deform

Gerald Epstein, TripleCrisis: 'Right wing politicians in the U.S. have gotten very good at channeling George Orwell: As the world economy teeters on the brink of another economic catastrophe whose precipitating cause was a twenty year project to de-regulate finance in the U.S. and abroad, they insist that the cause of our woes is 'job killing' regulations. Never mind that, according to the World Bank, the U.S. ranks 5th in the world in terms of ease of doing business in relation to regulations, and that over the past 5 years, doing business in the U.S. overall has become easier, not harder. The same report shows that in the OECD the ease of doing business has stayed the same or improved since 2006. Yet in the OECD countries 50% more people were unemployed in 2010 than in 2007.'

Obama s death panel

10/07/11

When the Tea Partiers protested President Obama s healthcare plan, they claimed that, in order to shave medical costs, the healthcare bureaucracy would be setting up 'death panels,' which would decide who gets medical treatment and who didn t. ... The Obama cult exploded in incredulous disdain .... Well, as it turns out, the Obama administration has indeed set up a Death Panel, albeit not in the realm of healthcare...

In der Falle der Zahlenkönige: Griechenland in fester Hand einer chaotischen Schuldendiktatur, in der täglich neue Steuern erfunden werden

'Der gestrige Streiktag in Athen stand unter einem schlechten Vorzeichen. Die Diskussion über die dringend notwendige sechste Kredittranche des Troikakredits wurde auf November verschoben. Bisher hieß es, dass der griechische Staat nur bis zum zehnten oder fünfzehnten Oktober Geld hat. Finanzminister Evangelos Venizelos behauptet jedoch, er habe plötzlich vergessene Milliarden gefunden und könne damit bis November durchhalten.

Das wiederum brachte die übrigen Europäer auf den Gedanken, dass die listigen griechischen Zahlenkünstler auch weitere Milliarden vergessen haben könnten. Die noch im Herbst 2010 für ihren Mut zur Wahrheit geehrte Regierung steht nun selbst als Betrüger. Derart brüskiert und gedemütigt ließ der Staat am Mittwoch seine Wut an den eigenen Bürgern aus?'

Troika fordert Aufhebung der Tarifautonomie

Die Troika ist unzufrieden und stellt neue Forderungen: Die Tarifautonomie soll aufgehoben werden und der Mindestlohn gesenkt. Die griechische Regierung lehnt ab. Artikel von Rainer Hermann und Werner Musslerin der FAZ vom 09.10.2011 http://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/europas-schuldenkrise/griechenland-troika-fordert-aufhebung-der-tarifautonomie-11487749.html

Aus dem Text: '(?) Sinken sollen der monatliche Mindestlohn von 741 Euro und die Mindesttagessatz von 34 Euro. Die Regierung von Ministerpräsident Giorgios Papandreou hat dies abgelehnt. Außerdem fordert die Troika mehr Engagement bei der Privatisierung. Griechenland hat für 2011 Privatisierungserlöse von 5 Milliarden Euro zugesagt. Das ist illusorisch geworden. Der Verkauf der letzten Tranche des Telekomunternehmens OTE erbrachte 400 Millionen Euro. Nun soll die Lottogesellschaft Opap in diesem Jahr noch Lizenzgebühren von 1 Milliarde Euro abführen, von denen sie 600 Millionen Euro aber leihen muss...?

Die Folgen des Spardiktats

'Mit anhaltendem Protest reagiert die griechische Bevölkerung auf die erneuten exzessiven Spardiktate der EU. Wie es in Medienberichten heißt, gibt sich die sogenannte Troika aus EU, EZB und IWF, die die von Berlin und Brüssel erzwungenen Athener Kürzungsprogramme überprüfen soll, nicht damit zufrieden, dass die griechische Regierung die Entlassung Zehntausender Staatsbediensteter in Aussicht gestellt hat, und fordert von Athen weiterreichende Schritte. Dabei macht das Land bereits jetzt einen sozialen Kahlschlag noch nie dagewesenen Ausmaßes durch: Während die Wirtschaft in den kompletten Ruin treibt, erreicht die Arbeitslosigkeit neue Rekordhöhen; die Renten wurden bislang um rund ein Fünftel, die Einkünfte der im europäischen Vergleich schlecht bezahlten staatlichen Angestellten auf durchschnittlich 60 bis 70 Prozent gekürzt. Neu eingestellte junge Erwachsene müssen mit einem Bruttolohn von rund 600 Euro im Monat auskommen. Dabei wird die deutsche Rolle beim Ausweiden des Staates in Griechenland genau registriert. Jüngster Coup ist der Vorschlag einer Beratungsgesellschaft aus der Bundesrepublik, dem zufolge Griechenland sein Staatsvermögen an die EU verkaufen soll - zwecks Weitergabe an private Interessenten unter Brüsseler Regie...'

Von Maine nach Kalifornien - occupy together!

Die occupy-Bewegung breitet sich weiter aus: Am vergangenen Mittwoch wurden entsprechende Bewegungen und Aktionen in 841 Ortschaften der USA registriert (u.a. bei occupy together, siehe frühere Berichterstattung im LabourNet Germany - von Chicago bis zu dem Städtchen McAllen, Texas). 'Am Mittwoch haben in New York bis zu 12000 Menschen gegen Arbeitslosigkeit, die Macht der Banken und soziale Ungleichheit demonstriert. Mehrere Gewerkschaften schlossen sich den seit Wochen andauernden Protesten der Bewegung »Occupy Wall Street« (Besetzt die Wall Street) an. Zuvor hatte es innerhalb der etablierten Organisationen der US-Arbeiterbewegung tagelange intensive Auseinandersetzungen über die Frage gegeben, wie sie sich zu diesem spontanen, unorganisierten Protest positionieren sollen. Immerhin deckt sich ein großer Teil der Forderungen der jungen Bewegung mit ureigenen Themen der Gewerkschaftsbewegung' - so beginnt '99 Prozent' von Simon Loidl am 07. Oktober 2010 in der jungen welt: http://www.jungewelt.de/2011/10-07/029.php
