Key Document John Yoo Used to Draft Torture Memo Released

Jason Leopold, Jeffrey Kaye, Truthout: ''A key document that describes the origins of the Bush administration s torture program was just released by the Department of Defense under the Freedom of Information Act. The so-called Pre-Laboratory Operating Instructions was a manual used to teach US servicemembers how to withstand torture if captured by an enemy. The document was shared with top Bush administration officials during White House meetings in May of 2002 as they discussed an ''alternative interrogation methods'' for high-value detainee Abu Zubaydah. Seven of the techniques in the manual ended up in the August 2002 torture memo drafted by former Justice Department attorney John Yoo.''

An vielen Orten Deutschlands mahnen die Ostermärsche 2012: In einer gefährlichen Zeit

Fotos und Reportagen aus den verschiedenen Städten von Anneliese Fikentscher und Andreas Neumann auf NRhZ-Online - Neue Rheinische Zeitung vom 11.04.2012 http://www.nrhz.de/flyer/beitrag.php?id=17664

Aus dem Text: ''Karin Leukefeld sagt es beim Ostermarsch Rhein-Ruhr deutlich: ''Im Wettlauf mit den so genannten ?sozialen Medien? feuern herkömmliche Medien, nicht alle, aber zu viele Konflikte an, anstatt sie zu hinterfragen. Mit einseitiger Berichterstattung, ungeprüften angeblichen Fakten und dem Verschweigen bekannter Tatsachen drängen sie zum Handeln, anstatt Ereignisse transparent zu machen. Medien kontrollieren nicht mehr die politische Macht, sie sind Teil dieses Machtapparats geworden. Sie trommelten zum Krieg gegen Afghanistan. Sie trommelten zum Krieg gegen den Irak. Sie trommelten zum Krieg gegen Libyen, und heute trommeln sie zum Krieg gegen Syrien und gegen Iran.?

Michael T. Klare, TomDispatch: ''Recently, North America has been repeatedly hailed as the planet s twenty-first-century 'new Saudi Arabia' for 'tough energy', deep-sea oil, Canadian tar sands, and fracked oil and natural gas. But here s a question no one considers: Will the oil curse become as familiar on this continent in the wake of a new American energy rush as it is in Africa and elsewhere?''

Oh Canada! So Rich And So Poor

Imposing austerity on world's most resource-rich country

By Sean Fenley

Even the world s most resource-rich country has now been caught in the debt trap. Its once-proud government programs are being subjected to radical budget cuts-cuts that could have been avoided if the government had not quit borrowing from its own central bank in the 1970s.

New York City Fare Strike Continues Trend of Militant Self-Organization

J.A. Myerson, Truthout: ''During Wednesday morning rush hour, signs hung in at least eight New York subway stations, inviting straphangers to ride for free. In Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan, service gates were chained open and turnstiles taped up 'in a coordinated response ... to escalating service cuts, fare hikes, racist policing, assaults on transit workers' working conditions and livelihoods and the profiteering of the super-rich by way of a system they have rigged in their favor.'''

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: ''Bill Moyers talks with Ai-jen Poo and Sarita Gupta about activism dedicated to restoring workers' rights - rights they say have been stripped away by corporations. Domestic workers in particular, says Poo, are a 'huge and growing part of the 99 percent.' The two also talk about their involvement in 'The 99% Spring,' which aims to train 100,000 Americans to teach the country about income inequality in homes, places of worship, campuses and the streets.''

Ninety-Nine Percent Spring and Confronting Corporate Power

George Goehl, Truthout: ''For us to truly reorganize our economy, we have to challenge those that most benefit from the current structure, big and abusive corporations that consistently violate values of fairness, human dignity and conservation. To challenge institutions the size of Bank of America, Walmart, Wells Fargo, Verizon, Chevron, Hyatt, and others, we know we can t do it alone. The good news is we don't have to.''

Trotz des beschlossenen Atomausstiegs fördert die deutsche Regierung den Export von Nukleartechnik in alle Welt: ins europäische Ausland, nach Brasilien und auch nach Indien, wo sich heftiger Widerstand gegen den Bau von Kernkraftwerken regt.

Solar in, Atom out

Was sich in vergangenen Wochen in der Energiewirtschaft abzeichnete, ist ein deutlicher Fingerzeig, so es ihn denn noch gebraucht hat: Die Atomwirtschaft ist auf dem Rückzug, während die solare Energieerzeugung ihren weltweiten Vormarsch fortsetzt, den Problemen der Solarfirmen zum Trotz. Beispiel ist eine spezielle neue Solaranlage. Solarmedia auf energiepolitischer Erkundungstour. Ein Bericht von Guntram Rehsche
