*Bundesregierung und Bundeswehr sind auch in diesem Jahr wieder die tragenden Säulen der sogenannten Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz, die am Freitag beginnt. Auf Anfrage der Linksfraktion teilte die Bundesregierung mit, das Presse- und Informationsamt sponsere die Veranstaltung mit 350000 Euro. Das ist ein Drittel der mit 1,15 Millionen Euro veranschlagten Gesamtkosten des Treffens, das in diesem Jahr zum 50. Mal stattfindet. Nicht in dieser Rechnung enthalten ist die Unterstützung durch 330 Soldaten der Bundeswehr. Jeweils 120 Soldaten kommen bei der Organisation und bei den Fahrdiensten zum Einsatz, weitere assistieren bei der Presse- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit und beim Dolmetschen. 50 Feldjäger übernehmen den Personen- und Begleitschutz. Für Personal- und Sachkosten veranschlagt die Bundesregierung 626000 Euro, zu übernehmen vom Steuerzahler?"

Republicans creating their worst nightmare

The American Prospect
by Jamelle Bouie

01/15/13

Two years ago, when S&P downgraded the credit rating of the United States, they didn t cite our debt or our spending. Instead, they knocked our political system, and in particular, the dysfunction and institutional creakiness that made a debt-ceiling stand-off possible: 'The downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenge,' said the company in a statement released that summer.

Mali and the Scramble for Africa: A New Wave of Barbarism
