03.Feb.2006 Brain Scans of Traders Show Link Between Lust for Sex and Money 

Late at night, in a basement laboratory at Stanford University, Brian Knutson made a startling discovery: Our brains lust after money, just like they crave sex.

Research carried out by veterinary scientists at the Royal Veterinary College reveals that deer antler regeneration may use stem cells and involves similar mechanisms to those used in limb development. The research could take us towards a 'holy grail' in human medicine: the ability to restore organs damaged through trauma, disease, cancer or excision.
03.Feb.2006 Fear of Clowns: No Laughing Matter 

Beth Wallace was stopped at a traffic light when a truck pulled up next to her. As she took a sip from her thermos of coffee, Wallace, 32, a San Francisco resident, glanced at the driver, who turned his head and returned the stare.
It was then that she saw the ghostly white face and bulbous red nose.
Wallace shrieked and scrambled to lock her car doors, barely noticing the hot coffee she spilled on herself. The driver was a clown.
Wallace, a teacher, has been petrified of clowns since childhood. "I know it's irrational, but they scare the bejeezus out of me," she said.

.Feb.2006 "Essential actors of our time": Human Rights Defenders ... Women organize to challenge discrimination + ... or not empathizing with victims of crime + .. www.web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGAMR010092003 03.Feb.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/politik/0,1518,druck-398686,00.html
An der Entwicklung einer wirklich funktionierenden Software, mit der sich Überwachung und Zensur umgehen ließen, haben auch die westlichen Regierungen keinerlei echtes Interesse. Sowohl in den Vereingten Staaten als auch in Europa wurden seit dem September 2001 Gesetze und Maßnahmen initiiert, die auf eine immer stärkere Überwachung der Netz-Kommunikation zu Zwecken der Terror-Fahndung und Kriminalitäts-Prävention abzielen.
Als besonders problematisch gilt die Umgehung der Zensur in China, weil die meisten der Schätzungen zufolge 110 Millionen chinesischen Internetnutzer nach wie vor von öffentlichen Terminals ins Netz gehen.

Microsoft-Chef Bill Gates hielt aus der Ferne dagegen, ohne den Kongress-Ausschuss direkt anzusprechen.

Im Rahmen einer Pressekonferenz in Lissabon zog er in Zweifel, dass so etwas wie Zensur im Internet überhaupt möglich sei. Insofern sei es auch sinnlos, Widerstand gegen die Zensurwünsche einer Regierung zu leisten.

"Die Möglichkeit, Informationen wirklich zu unterdrücken, gibt es nicht mehr", sagte Gates.

"Man kann sich eine sehr sichtbare Webseite nehmen und entscheiden, dass irgendwas nicht da sein sollte.

Aber wenn es in einer Bevölkerung ein echtes Verlangen gibt, etwas zu erfahren, dann wird das auch durchdringen."
Solche Beschwörungen der allmächtigen Informationskraft des Internet, das der Legende zufolge Zensur als Netzwerk-Hindernis umgehen und solche Probleme technisch lösen soll, stoßen allerdings auf immer mehr Skepsis.

In Washington äußerte Carolyn Bartholomew, Chefin eines US-Kongressausschusses zu Fragen des Handels mit China, die Befürchtung, dass "China das Internet stärker verändert als das Internet China".

Die dortige Diktatur habe das "fortgeschrittenste Internet-Filtersystem der Welt" geschaffen.

Der Einwurf bringt die Debatte auf den Punkt: Die Unternehmen haben den boomenden chinesischen Internetmarkt - schon jetzt ist der der zweitgrößte der Welt nach den USA - im Blick, während die Kritiker eher moralisch motiviert sind. "Schämen", meinte der Abgeordnete Tom Lantos, sollten sich diese "immens erfolgreichen Hightech-Unternehmen, die sich nicht dazu durchringen konnten, ihre Repräsentanten zu diesem Meeting" zu entsenden. "Die haben sich Pekings Forderungen ergeben um der lieben Profite willen, egal, wie sie selbst es nennen."
Bill Gates: Zensur geht gar nicht

https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/politik/0,1518,druck-398686,00.html
Alle nun öffentlich getadelten Unternehmen geben zu, den Zensurbestimmungen der chinesischen Regierung zu folgen. Google, Yahoo und Microsoft haben Filter implementiert, die innerhalb Chinas die Suche nach regimekritischen Quellen, nach Seiten zu Themen wie "Demokratie" oder "Menschenrechte" unterbindet. Von Yahoo ist bekannt, dass das Unternehmen im letzten Jahr auf Aufforderung der chinesischen Polizeibehörden einen aktiven Beitrag zur Identifikation und Verhaftung eines regimekritischen Journalisten geleistet hat. Alle Unternehmen rechtfertigen ihre Beiträge zur Zensur in China damit, dort nur Geschäfte machen zu können, wenn sie sich den Regeln und Gesetzen des Landes unterwerfen.
Firmen an Regierung: Tu doch selber was!
In Briefen und schriftlichen Statements an den Kongress-Ausschuss erbaten sowohl Microsoft und Yahoo als auch Google Hilfe von der Regierung. Die, so die Botschaft der Schreiben, habe es in der Hand, ein Ende der staatlichen Zensur einzufordern - nicht aber Wirtschaftsunternehmen.
Auf diplomatischem Wege ließe sich etwas bewirken, nicht aber dadurch, dass sich Wirtschaftsunternehmen den Gesetzen eines Landes verweigerten. Nötig sei es, dass die US-Regierung "Zensur als hinderlich für den Handel" kommuniziere und das Thema in Gesprächen mit dem Regime in Peking auf den Tisch bringe. Des Weiteren sollten industrieweite Standards definiert werden, wie mit solcher staatlichen Zensur umzugehen sei.

Open Letter: 'Just Be Fair With Us': My message to the West—to America, to Europe, to everybody—is this: Hamas wants peace. We hate bloodshed and killing. We don't want to fight.

03.Feb.2006 Omar Barghouti : Israeli Apartheid - Time for the South African Treatment : By now, most Palestinians recognize Israel’s entrenched system of colonialism, racism and denial of basic human rights as a form of apartheid. In fact, Palestinians are far from alone in holding this view of Israel

03.Feb.2006 Hamas and America's Erroneous Grasp of Middle East Reality : Policy makers in Washington lack experience for understanding the political changes that have changed the map of the Arab world. The reality is that oppressive American policies that are blindly biased toward Israel, the U.S. occupation of Iraq and its pressure on Syria, are injustices that inflame the people of the region.

03.Feb.2006 Translating the Emperor’s Speech: Although not quite as slickly eloquent as Willy before him, Dubya, like his predecessor, is proficient and experienced in the art of speaking one thing and meaning another.- Below are highlights from his State of the Union speech, translated into clear and candid English.

03.Feb.2006 To spread democracy abroad, respect the law at home : George W. Bush entered the White House 00.000.2001 with an expansive view of the presidential power that Johnson had lost. The most important manifestation of this has now come with his assertion of the power to order warrantless intercepts of the communications of people in the United States suspected of connections with terrorist groups.

03.Feb.2006 Maureen Dowd: Didn't See It Coming, Again : The more the White House tries to force-feed democracy to tempestuous parts of the world, the more it discovers that you may be able to spin and scare voters in the U.S., but the Middle East is not so easy to manipulate.

03.Feb.2006 Political opposites aligned against Bush wiretaps : Despite coming from opposite ends of the political spectrum, they agree on one other major issue: that the Bush administration's program of domestic eavesdropping by the National Security Agency without obtaining court warrants has less to do with the war on terror than with threats to the nation's civil liberties .

03.Feb.2006 Fitzgerald says White House may have destroyed some emails

03.Feb.2006 House Bans Former Colleague-Lobbyists : A rules change that passed 379-50 bars from the House floor or the members' gym ex-representatives who now work as lobbyists. The restriction also applies to former members' spouses who are lobbyists:

03.Feb.2006 Daley: Cameras will make us safer : Mayor Daley on Monday embraced a radical plan to require every licensed Chicago business open more than 12 hours a day to install indoor and outdoor cameras.

03.Feb.2006 In case you missed it: Howard Zinn: War Is the Health of the State: Excerpted from a "People's History of the United States"

03.Feb.2006 Howard Zinn: Empire and the People: Excerpted from a "People's History of the United States". Theodore Roosevelt wrote to a friend in the year 1897: "In strict confidence . . . I should welcome almost any war, for I think this country needs one."

Bush to seek $120 billion for wars, sources say : Money would pay for conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan into next fiscal year

03.Feb.2006 Official to Plead Guilty in Iraq Scheme : A former U.S. occupation official in Iraq has agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to steal more than $2 million in reconstruction money and award contracts to a businessman in exchange for more than $1 million in cash and goods.

03.Feb.2006 Administration backs off Bush's vow to reduce Mideast oil imports: One day after President Bush vowed to reduce America's dependence on Middle East oil by cutting imports from there 75 % by 2025, his energy secretary and national economic adviser said Wednesday that the president didn't mean it literally

03.Feb.2006 Shell posts $23bn record profit : The Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell today announced record profits for a British company of $22.9bn ( £12.9bn) on the back of soaring oil prices.

03.Feb.2006 Robert Newman: It's capitalism or a habitable planet - you can't have both : Our economic system is unsustainable by its very nature. The only response to climate chaos and peak oil is major social change

03.Feb.2006 U.S. Intel Chief Doubts Iran Has Nukes: N ational Intelligence Director John Negroponte told Congress on Thursday that Iran probably does not yet have nuclear weapons, nor has it obtained the material central to producing them.

03.Feb.2006 Nuclear chief tells Iran: you have a month to co-operate: Dr ElBaradei said today that the current timetable of action still allowed Iran time to co-operate: "There is a window of opportunity," he said. "We still have a month... I hope that Iran will continue to co-operate. I have been told it is willing."

03.Feb.2006 Iran's message to the west: back off or we retaliate : The escalating crisis could further destabilise the Middle East by intensifying US and British difficulties in Iraq and Afghanistan + could spell an end to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, which seeks to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.

03.Feb.2006 Text of IAEA's draft resolution on Iran : The text of the draft resolution on Iran submitted to the 35-nation board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency on Wednesday, the eve of a key meeting on the nuclear standoff with Tehran:

03.Feb.2006 Bush ‘calling for Iran regime change’: A direct appeal by President George W. Bush to the Iranian people to “win your own freedom” was a barely disguised call for regime change in Iran, raising the question of whether the US will turn to covert action to support internal opposition, analysts said on Wednesday.

03.Feb.2006 Iran’s real crime?: If Iran starts its own euro-denominated oil bourse and it takes off, the US dollar — already an ailing currency due to huge deficits in the US economy — will be marginalised as the global currency.
03.Feb.2006 
The Pestilent Presidency  By Manuel Valenzuela
George W. Bush is a corporatist without intelligence, an unknowing, incurious, detached and ignorant human beings, a puppet to much brighter individuals, a tool for the corporate world. He does not care for the unenlightened souls that see him as Dear Leader, nor the soldiers he sends to either die or sacrifice mental health .

Hellfire and Damnation: The Washington Consensus for Murder :   By Chris Flody
 Last month, President George W. Bush murdered four children. This is not a controversial statement. There is no dispute about the facts. Indeed, Bush's own minions fully acknowledge – even celebrate – the deed. Nor has the political opposition or the national media offered the slightest objection to the principle of presidential murder.

C hannel 4 News tonight reveals extraordinary details of George Bush and Tony Blair's pre-war meeting in January 2003 at which they discussed plans to begin military action on March 10th 2003, irrespective of whether the United Nations had passed a new resolution authorising the use of force.

Pennsylvania: A group called Butler County Democrats for Change is
suing to keep voting machines out of PA. One of the heartening aspects of this suit is that it targets ES&S machines. The public keeps hearing about Diebold + I fear that many will come under the impression that the fault rests with a bad company, not a bad technology.
In Allegheny County, the Board of Elections is
still deliberating the issue:
"Obviously we've read a lot of the allegations that people are talking about," she said, referring partly to criticisms that some Diebold officials were too close to Republicans. "Obviously we cannot base our decision on hearsay or what's on the Internet."

A couple of vote fraud notes... Arizona: According to
this Arizona Republic article (clued into which I became via good old Brad Blog), the FBI has seized ballots in a close Republican primary for the office of state representative in Arizona's District 20. There have been lingering suspicions over this battle for quite a while now.
Here's what's really odd: The County refused an order from a State Senate committee to cough up the actual ballots for inspection. But now they say they are quite happy -- "elated" even -- to comply with the Federal order. What's going on?

The US has become a rogue nation.
Gentle reader, if you prefer comforting lies to harsh truths, don't read this column.-By Paul Craig Roberts
The state of the union is disastrous. By its naked aggression, bullying, illegal spying on Americans + illegal torture and detentions, the Bush administration has demonstrated American contempt for the Geneva Convention, for human life and dignity + for the civil liberties of its own citizens. Increasingly, the US is isolated in the world, having to resort to bribery and threats to impose its diktats. No country any longer looks to America for moral leadership. The US has become a rogue nation.

The Spanish-American War was an intentional device by which the United States acquired an empire. -By Michael Klare
The war against Iraq was intended to provide the United States with a dominant position in the Persian Gulf region + to serve as a springboard for further conquests and assertion of power in the region. It was aimed as much, if not more, at China, Russia + Europe as at Syria or Iran. It is part of a larger process of asserting dominant U.S. power in south-central Eurasia, in the very heartland of this mega-continent.

Eine "Pflicht, mit Aufrichtigkeit zu sprechen", Mr. President? Wir alle können das nur unterstützen und hoffen, dass die Rede zur Lage der Nation eines Tages von jemandem gehalten wird, der sich um die Bedeutung dieser Worte kümmert.

Und Bush erwähnte auch nicht, dass seine Regierung mit ihrem Abhörprogramm wohl einen Rechtsbruch begangen hat, weil sie den Kongress darüber nicht informiert hat. Oder auch, dass sein Justizminister nicht nur den Kongress im Unklaren ließ, sondern auch den Senat bewusst in die Irre geführt hat.

Wieder und wieder versuchte Bush in seiner Rede, harte Wahrheiten zu vernebeln. Er sprach über die hohe Bedeutung des Bildungssektors und verschwieg dabei, dass es gerade seine Regierung war, die zum ersten Mal seit zehn Jahren die öffentlichen Ausgaben für die Bildung gekürzt hat.
Er redete über finanzielle Beschränkungen und die Notwendigkeit, ein guter "Verwalter" der Steuereinnahmen zu sein. Auch dabei verheimlichte er, dass die Ausgaben seiner Regierung explodiert sind und dass er nicht ein einziges Mal sein Veto eingelegt hat, um diese Entwicklung zu stoppen.
Er führte aus, dass es einen Bedarf gebe, die Nation aus der Abhängigkeit vom ausländischen Öl herauszuführen und ignorierte den Umstand, dass sich diese Abhängigkeit in seiner Regierungszeit noch erhöht hat. Weil er sich gegen strengere Standards in der Ölwirtschaft gesträubt hat, weil er die Programme für alternative Energien gekürzt und den Naturschutz als ein "Zeichen persönlicher Tugendhaftigkeit" abgetan hat.
Bush sagte, dass man als gewählter Mandatsträger niemals das Gelöbnis vergessen dürfe, "der öffentlichen Verantwortung gerecht zu werden". Selbstverständlich versäumte er es zu erwähnen, dass seine Regierung die amerikanische Öffentlichkeit im Fall Valerie Plame belogen hat und immer noch gegen Nachforschungen von Kongress und Presse zum Skandal um Jack Abramoff mauert.

Bushs Gerede von Aufrichtigkeit
George W. Bush beschwor in seiner Rede zur Lage der Nation eine neue Ehrlichkeit von Politikern. Leider war bei ihm selbst davon nicht viel zu spüren. Unangenehme Fragen ließ der Präsident lieber unerwähnt, moniert der amerikanische Autor Tim Grieve .

"Wenn so viel auf dem Spiel steht, haben wir als Mandatsträger die Pflicht, mit Aufrichtigkeit zu sprechen." Diese Worte standen im Zentrum von George W. Bushs Rede zur Lage der Nation + dem kann man wohl nur schwerlich widersprechen. Man wünschte sich nur, dass der Präsident diese Maxime auch leben würde.

Die Pharma- und Nahrungsmittelindustrie hat indes ein ganz eigenes Interesse an der Erforschung unseres Sinns für Bitteres. Sie will das Wissen dazu nutzen, mit neu entwickelten Substanzen unangenehme Geschmacksnoten auszublenden. Während heute etwa Unmengen von Zucker das Koffein in Cola-Getränken überspielen oder der großzügige Einsatz von Salz bei Kartoffelchips geschmacklich nachhilft, könnte ein Bitterblocker gleich von vornherein ausschalten, was der Konsument nicht schmecken soll. Die Produkte ließen sich zudem als kalorien- oder salzarm vermarkten.
Die US-Biotechnologiefirma Linguagen in Cranbury, New Jersey, hat bereits einen solchen Hemmstoff ins Rennen geschickt. Forscher des Unternehmens haben verschiedene Substanzen auf ihre Antibitterwirkung untersucht und dabei herausgefunden, dass Adenosinmonophosphat (AMP) - ein so genanntes Nucleotid, das auch natürlicherweise im Körper vorkommt - in der Lage ist, den unangenehmen Geschmack zu unterdrücken. Nach Angaben des Unternehmens ohne jegliche Nebenwirkung.
Die amerikanische Food and Drug Administration hat im September 2004 AMP zugelassen. Doch ob Linguagens Bitterblocker in der Praxis hält, was er im Labor verspricht, muss sich erst noch zeigen. Während mancher Geschmacksforscher jenseits des großen Teichs AMP schon als den "heiligen Gral" feiern will, zeigt man sich hier zu Lande etwas vorsichtiger.
Der Hemmstoff besitzt einen Eigengeschmack, wie der Münsteraner Lebensmittelchemiker Thomas Hoffmann herausgefunden hat: AMP schmeckt nach Umami, also nach Fleischbrühe. Ob es sich damit wirklich als Zutat für Süßspeisen oder Limonade eignet?

Für Bufe und seine Kollegen steht eine Menge Arbeit an. "Dank des Human-genomprojekts wissen wir mittlerweile, dass das menschliche Erbgut 25 Gene für Bitterrezeptoren beherbergt", erläutert Bufe. "Und die derzeitige Datenlage lässt darauf schließen, dass tatsächlich alle für funktionstüchtige Rezeptoren codieren und in den Geschmackspapillen unserer Zunge zum Einsatz kommen."

Unser Sinn für Bitteres ist also ausgefeilt und zudem höchst individuell, wie Bufe zu berichten weiß. "Von allen 25 bekannten Bittergenen gibt es Varianten, so dass wir bislang 104 verschiedene Spielarten von Bitterrezeptoren kennen." Mehr noch: Heterozygote Menschen, in deren Zellkernen die Erbinformation für zwei verschiedene Rezeptorversionen liegt, unterscheiden sich ebenfalls in ihrer Sensibilität gegenüber bestimmten Stoffen von Personen, die nur eine Genvariante tragen.

Über einen Zeitraum von 400 Jahren wurden Schätzungen zufolge bis zu zwölf Millionen Menschen aus Afrika verschleppt und gezwungen, unter unmenschlichen Bedingungen in den Minen und auf den Plantagen der Europäer in Amerika zu arbeiten. Dass Sklaven schon unmittelbar nach der Ankunft der ersten Europäer in der Gegend ankamen, deutet laut Price darauf hin, dass die Sklaverei schon kurz nach der spanischen Unterwerfung Mexikos ein zentraler Bestandteil der dortigen Wirtschaft war.
Die Spanier zwangen zwar auch die Indios zur Sklavenarbeit. Doch als die Eingeborenen massenhaft an ansteckenden Krankheiten aus Europa starben, mussten die Eroberer nach neuen Arbeitskräften Ausschau halten - was als Geburtsstunde des afrikanischen Sklavenhandels gilt.

Verräterische Spuren im Zahnschmelz
Menschen nehmen die verräterischen Signaturen in jungen Jahren durch Strontium-Isotope in ihren Zahnschmelz auf: Nährstoffe gelangen vom gewachsenen Fels über die Erde, das Wasser, die Pflanzen und die Tiere in die Nahrung. Der Isotopenmix im Zahnschmelz gilt deshalb als unauslöschliches Indiz des Geburtsorts, da er mit dem Felsgrund einer bestimmten Region in Verbindung gebracht werden kann.
Die Isotopen-Verhältnisse bei den vier Toten von Campeche unterscheiden sich deutlich von allem, was von Ureinwohnern Mittelamerikas bekannt ist, schreiben Burton und Price in einem Artikel, der demnächst im Fachblatt "American Journal of Physical Anthropology" erscheinen soll. Die Isotopen deuteten auf Westafrika hin, das auf einer massiven Schicht uralten Felsgesteins ruhe und geologisch wesentlich älter sei als Mexiko und Mittelamerika.
Zusammen mit den Verstümmelungen der Zähne sei dies ein deutlicher Hinweis, dass "diese Menschen in Afrika geboren und in die Neue Welt gebracht wurden", erklärt Price. "Beeindruckend finde ich vor allem, dass dies schon so früh geschehen ist."

https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,252331,00.html Erst vergangene Woche ließ der Regierungschef seinen Minister für parlamentarische Angelegenheiten, John Reid, einen forschen Angriff auf die Kritiker der Regierung reiten. Reid warf "schurkischen Elementen" ("rogue elements") aus den Geheimdiensten vor, mit gezielt lancierter, auf Falschinformationen beruhender Kritik gegen Downing Street zu arbeiten. Die so gescholtenen schlugen mit britischem Sarkasmus zurück. "Was die Massenvernichtungswaffen betrifft, könnte tatsächlich ein 'rauchender Colt' existieren - allerdings keiner, den die Regierung sich wünscht", zitiert die Tageszeitung "The Independent" einen hochrangigen Geheimdienstler. Die Schlapphüte hätten die Anweisungen der Regierung vor dem Irak-Krieg derart befremdlich gefunden, dass sie umfangreiche Protokolle angefertigt hätten. "Die aufgezeichneten Details werden genau zeigen, was da vor sich ging", sagte der Geheimdienstler der Zeitung. "Wegen der Regelmäßigkeit und der manchmal ungewöhnlichen Art der Forderungen haben die Leute die Vorgänge archiviert, nicht zuletzt, um sich selbst zu schützen." Ein Teil der Aufzeichnungen bezieht sich dem Bericht zufolge auf Gespräche mit Beteiligung des Joint Intelligence Committee (JID). Das Gremium besteht aus Blairs Chefsprecher Alistair Campbell, seinem Stabschef Jonathan Powell und David Omand, dem Sicherheits- und Geheimdienstkoordinator der Regierung. "Operation Rockingham" sollte Bagdad diskreditieren Von einer völlig neuen Dimension der Geheimdienst-Mauschelei berichtet der "Sunday Herald". Dem Blatt zufolge wurde bereits 1991 eine "Operation Rockingham" vom britischen Verteidigungsministerium ins Leben gerufen. Die primäre Aufgabe des Teams aus Geheimdienstlern sei es gewesen, die irakische Regierung belastendes Spionage-Material zu sammeln und gegenteilige Erkenntnisse zu unterdrücken, um einen Krieg zu rechtfertigen.

https://alfatomega.com/148_151_Doppelstaat_Fraenkel_Ernst_USA1940.html
01.Feb.2006 - man muß ein Gefühl für die Nuancen der deutschen Sprache haben, um die Ungeheuerlichkeit dieser Entscheidung zu ermessen.

Wenn das höchste deutsche Gericht ohne zu zögern über 600 000 Menschen zum »bürgerlichen Tod« verdammt und sich dann mit ein paar Phrasen aus der Kanzlistensprache rechtfertigt, erübrigt sich jeglicher Kommentar.

00.000.1920 forderten die Nationalsozialisten in ihrem Parteiprogramm, daß die Juden unter Fremdenrecht gestellt werden sollten.

00.000.1938 -Seit- stehen die Juden nicht mehr unter Fremdenrecht, sie stehen außerhalb jeden Rechts, hors la loi.

Die Rechtsstellung der Juden in Deutschland ist nicht auf das Parteiprogramm zurückzuführen, sie Ist nur aus dem Wesen des Maßnahmenstaates heraus zu begreifen-

Nicht das Parteiprogramm, sondern der Belagerungszustand ist dieVerfassung des Dritten Reiches .
01.Feb.2006 Der wichtigste Versuch der privaten Wirtschaft, sich dem Zugriff der Polizeibehörden zu entziehen, ist das Ständewesen.
01.Feb.2006 Der ewige Belagerungszustand hat die Beeinträchtigung der Rechtsstellung ganzer Bevölkerungsgruppen ermöglicht und eine Minderheit der elementarsten Rechte beraubt.

Diese »unbedenkliche« Anwendung des ewigen Belagerungszustandes dürfte in Zukunft aber auch verhängnisvolle Wirkungen auf die Mehrheit haben.

Dieses Recht ohne jegliche Ethik wird schließlich alle an den Rand des menschlichen Abgrunds bringen.

Goethes Worte aus »Der Gott und die Bajadere«;

»Soll er strafen, oder schonen,

Muß er Menschen menschlich sehen.«

finden im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland keinen Widerhall

5. Die Stände als Organe des Normenstaates

a. Die wirtschaftliche Selbstverwaltung

In Angelegenheiten, die Juden betreffen, haben die Gerichte dem Druck des Maßnahmenstaates nachgegeben.

Da die Wirtschartskreise befürchten, die Gerichte könnten auch auf anderen Gebieten unter politischen Druck gesetzt werden, unterstützten sie alle Bestrebungen,

die Regelung der internen wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen dem Zugriff der politischen Instanzen zu entziehen und - soweit wie möglich - eine autonome Verwaltung aufzubauen.

Dies tritt besonders klar im Kartellrecht zutage.

"He reported that he saw three individuals on foot inside the (secure area) and when he approached in his vehicle they ran into the woods," he said.

Lindamood said the guard was between 70 and 165 feet away at the time and the area was brightly lit. The guard won't face any disciplinary measures.

"In fact, he was commended for the promptness of his report, for the detail contained in his report + for his diligence in following up until his backup arrived," Lindamood said.

``We do know that the weapons are safely stored and accounted for,'' Avery said.

She said arsenal operations continued as usual Wednesday except for the enhanced security. She would not describe the additional measures taken, but guards checked every vehicle leaving the area.

The arsenal is located a half-hour south of Little Rock. In March, crews began destroying its chemical weapons stockpile in compliance with international treaties that call for disposal by 2012.

Kathy Hedrick, spokeswoman for the state Department of Emergency Management, said her office had been notified of the intrusion but was given no indication how serious the incident might be.

The investigation was handled by the Defense Department's security staff at the arsenal.

The name Area 51 has become well known within UFO folklore.
This is what wikipedia says:
Area 51 is a remote tract of land in southern Nevada, owned by the government of the United States, containing an air field apparently used for the secret development and testing of new military aircraft. It has been known as Watertown, Dreamland, Paradise Ranch, The Farm, The Box, Groom Lake, The Unnamed Facility at Groom Lake, Nevada Proving Ground and The Directorate for Development Plans Area. It is famed as the subject of many UFO conspiracy theories.

The Army's chemical-weapons arsenal in Arkansas was invaded by "three individuals on foot," but an intense manhunt found nothing on the base -- no people, no footprints, nothing.

https://www.sploid.com/news/2006/01/us_chemical_wea.php

The World War II-era arsenal stores tons of deadly chemical weapons made by the United States. It also houses the only known factory where the Pentagon manufactures its controversial white-phosphorus weapons.

While the Arkansas media seems anxious to dismiss the intruders as "wildlife," other theories have emerged.

Scheich Osama al-Jedaan, der Führer des al-Karabila-Stammes in Qa'im an der Grenze zu Syrien, sagt, dass die Stammesversammlung in der Provinz Anbar beschlossen hatte, eine Militäraktion gegen die Terroristen zu starten. Speziell will ihre "eigene Regierung", damit meint er die der Sunniten in Ramadi, Ausländer, Eindringlinge und "Störenfriede" aus anderen Staaten der Region bekämpfen. Sechs bewaffnete Gruppen die dem "Irakischen Widerstand" unterstehen, hätten Sarkawis Terrororganisation den Krieg erklärt, schreibt "al-Hayat".
"Das Ermorden von Sunniten wird nicht länger hingenommen"
Ein sunnitischer Religionsführer sagte "Al-Hayat", dass die Gruppen, die die sunnitischen Provinzen zerstörten, Terroristen und Takfiris seien. Takfiri ist die Bezeichnung für die islamischen Fundamentalisten, die andere Muslime zu Ungläubigen erklären.
"Das alles hat nichts damit zu tun, dass der irakische Widerstand die amerikanischen Besatzer aus dem Land jagen möchte. Aber das Ermorden von Sunniten und Polizeirekruten wird nicht länger hingenommen", sagt der Scheich. Außerdem akzeptiere die Stammesversammlung nicht, dass Iraker von den Terroristen getötet werden, nur weil sie Schiiten sind. Al-Sarkawi hatte in seinen Botschaften immer betont, dass er die Schiiten bekämpfen will und ein Bürgerkrieg im Irak sein Ziel sei.
Ein Scheich des sunnitischen al-Dulaimi-Stammes in Ramadi erklärte, dass viele Bewohner der Stadt lange Zeit die arabischen Kämpfer aus dem Ausland logistisch unterstützt hätten und sie beherbergten, ohne ihre wirklichen Ziele zu verstehen, dass diese nämlich nicht nur gegen die verhassten Amerikaner kämpfen, sondern auch einen Religionskrieg zwischen den Sunniten und den Schiiten im Irak provozieren wollen. Das wird in der Widerstandshochburg Ramadi offensichtlich nicht mehr akzeptiert. Wenn diese Äußerungen ernst gemeint sind, wäre das wirklich eine Wende im Irak - und der aufkommende Bürgerkrieg ließe vielleicht doch noch stoppen.
Unterstützung bekommen die Clan-Chefs aus der Stadt Samara, die ebenfalls im sunnitischen Dreieck liegt. Der führende al-Bubaz-Stamm sagt, die Stadt sei viel ruhiger geworden, seit sie die ausländischen Terroristen hinausgeworfen hätten. Dies hätten die führenden sieben Stämme der Region vor einigen Wochen beschlossen. Sie würden Ramadi jede Unterstützung geben, sich von den Ausländern zu befreien. Tatsache aber ist, dass die Zahl der Angriffe gegen die US-Streitkräfte in Samara und Tikrit nicht abgenommen hat. Die Zahl der Opfer unter den Irakern soll dagegen zurückgegangen sein.
Im dem Zusammenhang sagte Issam al-Rawi, Mitglied der sunnitischen Vereinigung der muslimischen Gelehrten, dass man jetzt an zwei Fronten kämpfe: Die eine sei die Vertreibung der ausländischen Besatzer ihres Landes und deren Unterstützer in Bagdad, die andere die Bekämpfung der "terroristischen Banden", die irakisches Blut vergießen.
Ein Führer der bekannten Widerstandsgruppe "Brigade der Revolution von 1920" argumentiert ähnlich: Die größte Fraktion des patriotischen Widerstandes im Irak sei gegen die Methoden des Qaida-Statthalters: "In der letzen Zeit hat sich das Verhältnis des patriotischen Widerstandes zu den Terroristen Sarkawis zusehends verschlechtert. Aber als er die sunnitischen Polizeirekruten tötete, hat er den Bogen überspannt. Wir hatten zuvor vereinbart, gerade dies nicht zu tun, weil wir eigene Polizisten in Ramadi haben wollten", so der Widerstandsführer.
Sollte es im irakischen Widerstand tatsächlich einen Sinneswandel gegeben haben, kann man davon ausgehen, dass die beiden deutschen Geiseln nicht in den Händen Sarkawis sind, sondern von sunnitischen radikalen Islamisten festgehalten werden. Die Stadt Beidschi, in der die beiden verschleppt wurden, liegt im Einflussgebiet der Stämme, die sich von dem Top-Terroristen abgewandt haben. Im Gegensatz zu Sarkawi gibt es bei denen immerhin eine Chance zu verhandeln.
Diese Aussagen überraschen insofern, als die Zeitung "al-Hayat" von Saudi-Arabien finanziert wird. Und al-Sarkawi bekommt seine größte finanzielle Unterstützung aus diesem Land.
Wenn die Stammesversammlung in der Provinz Anbar den Sarkawi-Beschluss umsetzt, ist dies auch eine Fortsetzung der Vereinbarung, die sie offensichtlich mit Premierminister Ibrahim Dschaafari, dem US-Botschafter Zalmay Khalilzad und General George Casey vereinbart hatten. Zug um Zug werden sich demnach die US-Streitkräfte und die regulären irakischen Truppen aus der Provinz zurückziehen. Die Staatsgewalt soll an Soldaten und Polizisten übertragen werden, die ausschließlich aus der Gegend kommen. Das Kommando soll auch überwiegend in der Region bleiben, die Provinz eine gewisse Autonomie erhalten.
Ein Staat im Staat
Damit entsteht zwar de facto ein Staat im Staat, aber Experten sehen darin die erste Stufe der amerikanischen Exit-Strategie, der Reduzierung der Truppen im Irak. Und die Messlatte wird das sunnitische Dreieck sein. Vor wenigen Tagen wurden von den USA die Sicherheitsaufgaben in der Provinz Ninive mit der Stadt Mossul, die auch einer der sunnitischen Widerstandsbrennpunkte ist, an die Iraker übergeben. Die Amerikaner wollen ihre Präsenz langfristig auf ein paar gut ausgebaute Militärbasen in der Nähe der größten Städte reduzieren.
Ein weiterer Grund für die vorsichtige Annäherung der USA an die Sunniten im Irak ist auch der anschwellende Konflikt mit dem Nachbarn Iran. Sollte der Mullah-Staat angegriffen werden, haben dessen schiitische Herrscher unmissverständlich durchblicken lassen, dann werde es zum Aufstand der rund zwölf Millionen Schiiten im Süd-Irak kommen.
Wie die Übergabe der Sicherheitshoheit von den Amerikanern an die irakische Armee vonstatten geht, zeigt das Beispiel Tikrit: Die US-Streitkräfte hatten Saddam Husseins großen Palast in seiner Heimatstadt nach dem Krieg zur Kommandozentrale umgebaut. Nachdem der moderne, große Stützpunkt vor wenigen Wochen feierlich in Anwesenheit des US-Botschafters an die Iraker übergeben wurde, plünderten die neuen Hausherren erst einmal drei Tage lang die gesamte Anlage und nahmen alles mit, was nicht niet- und nagelfest war. Die modernen Generatoren, Klimaanlagen und Küchen stehen jetzt in den Privathäusern bei den Offizieren der neuen irakischen Armee.

Der Bürochef des Abgeordneten Marty Meehan beispielsweise, Matt Vogel, gab gegenüber der Zeitung offen zu, er habe einen Praktikanten dafür abgestellt, die Wikipedia-Biografie seines Vorgesetzten zu bearbeiten. "Es erscheint mir sinnvoll, dass die Biographie, die wir einreichen, auch die ist, die wir schreiben", sagte Vogel dem Blatt. Nur, dass in dieser offiziellen Version für Meehan Unangenehmes schlicht weggelassen wurde.
Zum Beispiel, dass der Abgeordnete einst verkündet hatte, Politiker sollten nicht an ihren Stühlen kleben + er selbst werde deshalb nach acht Jahren im Amt aus dem Kongress ausscheiden. Das war 1992, Meehan sitzt noch heute im Repräsentantenhaus. Der Wortbruch sollte aber nicht in seiner Wikipedia-Biografie erscheinen. Ein anderes wegredigiertes Faktum betraf Meehans immenses Wahlkampfbudget. Die Wikipedia-Nutzer sollten offenbar lieber nicht lesen, dass er 4,8 Millionen Dollar für seine Kampagne zur Verfügung hatte - das laut "Lowell Sun" größte Budget aller Kongressabgeordneten.
Den Einträgen "mehr Tiefe" geben
Vogel sagt, man habe dem Eintrag "mehr Tiefe" verleihen wollen, bei der Wikipedia dagegen spricht man von "Vandalismus". Zu den Grundregeln der Enzyklopädie gehört es, dass man korrekte Fakten nicht entfernt. Die Zensoren aus dem Kongressgebäude hätten schließlich "ihre Sicht der Dinge hinzufügen" können, kommentierte Wikipedia-Gründer Jimmy Wales.
Von der gleichen IP-Adresse aus, von der Meehans Eintrag verändert wurde, kamen auch Hunderte andere Korrekturen, manche gerechtfertigt, manche tendenziös, manche schlicht beleidigend. Die Wikipedianer haben inzwischen weitere IP-Adressen des US-Senats ausgemacht, von denen aus ebenfalls fleißig editiert wurde.
Nicht nur an den Biographien von Politikern wurde von den Kongressrechnern aus herumgeschraubt, auch Historisches wollten die Senatsschreiber gern anders darstellen. Beispielsweise wurde der Eintrag zum Einmarsch im Irak 2003 manipuliert. Hinterher stand da, Präsident George W. Bush habe zwischen den Attentaten des 11. September 2001 und dem Irak "nie eine Verbindung suggeriert" + es sei stattdessen "als zwingend angesehen" worden, "dass eine solche Verbindung bestanden habe".
Die wütenden Wikipedianer wehren sich
Inzwischen wehrt sich die zornentbrannte Wikipedia-Gemeinde heftig. Beanstandete Beiträge wurden rückeditiert. Die IP-Adresse, von der die meisten Änderungen kamen, wurde kurzzeitig blockiert, dann wieder freigeschaltet, weil sie nicht nur von einem sondern von vielen Kongressrechnern benutzt wird + man harmlose Beitragende nicht diskriminieren will, nur weil sie zufällig beim Kongress angestellt sind. Eigens eingerichtete Seiten fassen die Ereignisse und Diskussionen zusammen, unterteilen die Einmischungen von Kongress-Adressen in "Vandalismus", "Böse Absichten" und "legitim".
Der Wikipedia-Selbstreinigungsmechanismus ist nach wie vor intakt und läuft nun auf Hochtouren - und gleichzeitig zeigt der Fall einmal mehr, wie verletzlich das für alle offene System ist. Es scheint nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis sich nicht nur übereifrige Kongressangestellte sondern professionelle Informationsmanipulierer an der Online-Enzyklopädie zu schaffen machen.
Ein Wikipedia-Nutzer schrieb auf der entsprechenden Diskussionsseite: "Wenn wir das nicht bestrafen, wird das weitere in der Öffentlichkeit stehende Personen dazu anstacheln, PR-Firmen zu engagieren, die in der Wikipedia ihre Standpunkte durchdrücken sollen." Ein anderer fügte hinzu: "Ich hoffe, dass es nicht zu einem Prozess 'Wikimedia Foundation gegen die Vereinigten Staaten' kommt."

US-Kongressangestellte manipulierten Wikipedia -Von Christian Stöcker

In Hunderten von Fällen sind von Rechnern des US-Kongresses aus Einträge der Internet-Enzyklopädie Wikipedia verändert worden. Fleißige Helfer verschönerten die Biographien ihrer Abgeordneten, der politische Gegner wurde diffamiert und beleidigt - und die Geschichte umgeschrieben.

"2005 wurde Senator C. von seinen Kollegen im Kongress zum lästigsten aller Senatoren gewählt. Dies geschah, weil Senator C. ein riesiges Weichei ist." Dies ist eine von über 1000 Änderungen, die in der englischsprachigen Ausgabe der Internet-Enzyklopädie Wikipedia vorgenommen wurden - von Kongress-Rechnern aus. Viele der Änderungen betrafen die Einträge über Abgeordnete. Wie die US-Tageszeitung "Lowell Sun" berichtete, wurden dabei teilweise vollständige Biographien ausgetauscht - oder aber kindische und bösartige Kommentare in die Einträge über den politischen Gegner eingefügt.

https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ I knew it would end this way, but the bitter taste remains inescapable.

The question now is:

Do we take out our fury by refusing any further support for the Democrats who betrayed us?

Or do we hold to the proposition that changing the make-up of both houses of Congress trumps all other considerations?
And what about Joke Lieberman? No surprise there. He's being challenged by a guy named Ned Lamont, who -- word has it -- is the real deal. If you're in CT, do what you can to retire Joke during the primaries.

Alito - It's the Constitution That's At Stake
The vote this week about Samuel Alito is not a vote about Republicans versus Democrats. It's a vote about the future of democracy in the United States of America.
By Thom Hartmann
As our legislators vote, we must carefully note their positions on this issue. Their oath of office is not to the President or even to "protect the people," but to the Constitution. And it is the Constitution - and the future of our democratic republic - that is at stake here.

31.Jan.2006 Rank Ignorance Reigns : By Paul Craig Roberts
Just as there was no evidence that Iraq was developing nuclear weapons, there is no evidence that Iran is developing nuclear weapons. There is nothing but unproven assertions, assertions, moreover, that are contradicted by the evidence that does exist. Americans, it would appear, are so anxious for wars that they welcome being fooled into them.

Interview With William R. Clark, Author "Petrodollar Warfare: Oil, Iraq and the Future of the Dollar"
The notion that Iraq was invaded to prevent the development of weapons of mass destruction, or to combat terrorism, has long been discredited. But a growing consensus believes that Iraq's oil was surely a prime reason for US actions. However, author William Clark argues convincingly in Petrodollar Warfare that the rationale for intervening was not just for control of the oil fields, but also for control of the means by which oil is traded in global markets.

"I've asked why nobody saw it coming," Ms. Rice said, speaking of her own staff. "It does say something about us not having a good enough pulse."
Immediately after the election, Bush administration officials said the results reflected a Palestinian desire for change and not necessarily an embrace of Hamas, which the United States, Israel and the European Union consider a terrorist organization sworn to Israel's destruction. But Ms. Rice's comments seemed to reflect a certain second-guessing over how the administration had failed to foresee, or factor into its thinking, the possibility of a Hamas victory.
Indeed, Hamas's victory has set off a debate whether the administration was so wedded to its belief in democracy that it could not see the dangers of holding elections in regions where Islamist groups were strong and democratic institutions weak.
"There is a lot of blame to go around," said Martin Indyk, a top Middle East negotiator in the Clinton administration, referring to Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president + his Fatah party.

"But on the American side, the conceptual failure that contributed to disaster was the president's belief that democracy and elections solve everything."
Ms. Rice pointed out that the election results surprised just about everyone. "I don't know anyone who wasn't caught off guard by Hamas's strong showing," she said on her way to London for meetings on the Middle East, Iran and other matters. "Some say that Hamas itself was caught off guard by its strong showing."

"Atemberaubende" Umweltverstöße
Damit nicht genug: Die "Times" und Global Witness beschuldigen Freeport außerdem "atemberaubender" Umweltverstöße. Bisher hätten die Schürfarbeiten rund eine Milliarde Tonnen an Industriemüll produziert, die großteils in Flüsse gekippt worden seien, in denen wiederum längst alles Leben erloschen sei. Das US-Unternehmen bestätigt die Zahl, besteht aber darauf, dass seine Entsorgungsmethoden von der Provinzregierung abgesegnet worden seien. "Beim Betrieb einer großen Mine sind Umweltfolgen unvermeidlich", so Atkeson.
Am anderen Ende der Welt erhöht Bill Thompson derweil den Druck. Der Comptroller hat den New Yorkern in seiner Antrittsrede ja geschworen, die städtischen Gelder nur in glasklar ethische Konzerne zu investieren. Und so kann es gut sein, dass sie demnächst auch in West Papua wissen, was ein Comptroller ist.
31.Jan.2006 
https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,druck-398093,00.html
Alles schön und gut, findet Thompson. Doch leider gehe es bei Freeports indonesischer Dependance seiner Meinung nach nicht mit rechten Dingen zu. Brisant dabei: 37 Millionen Dollar aus den Pensionsfonds stecken in dem Konzern. In Schreiben an die Börsenaufsicht SEC und US-Justizminister Alberto Gonzalez erhebt der Comptroller jetzt schwere Vorwürfe: Es bestehe der Verdacht, dass Freeport indonesische Regierungsbeamte und Militärs besticht, also gegen den Foreign Corrupt Practices Act verstößt. Außerdem habe der Konzern getürkte Aktionärsinformationen bei der SEC eingereicht sowie "falsche oder irreführende" Aussagen über seine Geschäftspraktiken gemacht.
Ähnliche Vorwürfe gegen Freeport hat auch die Londoner Menschenrechtsorganisation Global Witness bereits publiziert. Der US-Konzern mache sich schuldig, ein Militär zu unterstützen, das "eine lange Geschichte aus Gräueltaten an Zivilisten" habe, hieß es in einem Bericht der Gruppe.
Die Tragödie des Goldes
Die Rolle westlicher Minenunternehmen in Indonesien ist seit langem umstritten. Doch jetzt heizt sich die Debatte durch Thompsons Intervention auf. Der Pensionsmanager hat die zuständigen Ämter in Washington aufgefordert, Ermittlungen gegen Freeport einzuleiten. Voruntersuchungen gibt es bereits: Das Unternehmen selbst bestätigte in einer Mitteilung an die SEC, dass es erste "informelle Anfragen von Regierungsbehörden hinsichtlich der Unterstützung für indonesische Sicherheitsinstitutionen" erhalten habe und dabei "auf ganzer Linie" kooperiere.
Hinter all diesen Formschreiben verbirgt sich die Tragödie, die der Goldabbau in einer Krisenregion im tiefsten Urwald Südostasiens hat und die jetzt wie ein fernes Echo aus der Wildnis auch die Wall Street erreicht. An der NYSE verzeichnete die Freeport-Aktie, die sich seit Mai 2005 auf 63 Dollar mehr als verdoppelt hat, letzte Woche einen scharfen Einbruch.
Freeports Grasberg-Mine liegt nämlich mitten in einem politischen Krisenherd - in der indonesischen Regenwald-Provinz West Papua, die seit Jahrzehnten um Unabhängigkeit von Jakarta kämpft. Wegen des hohen Goldpreises profitiert von der Mine nicht nur Freeport in New Orleans, sondern auch die indonesische Zentralregierung, die von dem amerikanischen Konzern alle00.000.2005 rund eine Milliarde Dollar an Steuern kassierte.
"Ganz normale Geschäftsaktivitäten"
Freeport gibt offen zu, außer den regulären 18.000 Arbeitskräften nebenher auch die einheimischen "Sicherheitsbehörden" pauschal für die in dieser Krisenregion notwendige "Bewachung" der Mine zu entlohnen. "Es gibt keine Alternative, als sich auf das indonesischen Militär und die Polizei zu verlassen", erklärte das Unternehmen. Dies seien "ganz normale Geschäftsaktivitäten".

Schwere Vorwürfe gegen den Gold-Giganten
Mit seiner aktuellen Kampagne wagt sich Thompson an einen schweren Brocken aus der boomenden Goldbranche. Es geht um Freeport-McMoRan. Der in New Orleans beheimatete, an der New York Stock Exchange notierte US-Konzern ist einer der weltgrößten Förderer von Gold und Kupfer. Seine Grasberg-Mine in Indonesien - ihrerseits mit 10.000 Hektar die größte der Welt - birgt mehr Goldreserven als sonst ein Ort und produzierte voriges Jahr eine Rekordmenge von 2,8 Millionen Unzen.
Freeport profitiert vom steigenden Goldpreis, erst vor zwei Wochen markierte die Goldunze ein 25-Jahreshoch bei 567,6 Dollar. Der Boom bildet sich auch in den Freeport-Zahlen ab. 2005 vermeldete die Gesellschaft einen Nettogewinn von 934,6 Millionen Dollar - sechsmal so viel wie im Vorjahr.

Schneider falsely equated Bush's widespread unpopularity with...
On CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, senior political analyst Bill Schneider falsely equated President Bush 's current widespread unpopularity -- and that of President Reagan during the Iran-Contra scandal -- with President Clinton's standing with the public during the Monica Lewinsky matter. Noting that, despite his poor overall poll numbers, Bush still enjoys support from Republicans, Schneider said, Sooner or later, every leader gets in trouble. President Reagan had Iran-Contra. President Clinton had Monica Lewinsky. Like Bush, they had a base that helped them get through it. But Schneider's suggestion that all three presidents had to rely on the support of their base during times of general public unhappiness with their performance is mistaken: While Reagan did see his approval ratings plummet to the low 40s during the Iran-Contra matter, Clinton saw no similar erosion of public support during the Lewinsky matter. Unlike Schneider, the public apparently saw little similarity between, on the one hand Reagan, whose administration illegally sold arms to Iran in hopes of appeasing terrorists + Bush, whose administration took the nation into a war based on false pretenses and badly bungled preparation for + response to, Hurricane Katrina, and, on the other, Clinton, who had an inappropriate personal relationship. Clinton's approval ratings were very high all through 1998 as the Lewinsky matter played out -- typically in the 60s, occasionally (such as when the Republican-controlled House of Representatives impeached him) breaking 70 %. As an Associated Press summary of polls conducted

00.000.1998 by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press + by CNN/USA Today/Gallup shows, Clinton's approval ratings were high when news of the Lewinsky matter surfaced + remained high when former White House volunteer Kathleen Willey made further widely publicized allegations against him; when he admitted a relationship with Lewinsky; when Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr released his report; and when House Republicans voted to impeach him. As Schneider himself reported on the December 30, 1998, edition of CNN's Inside Politics : SCHNEIDER: President Clinton's job ratings have been in the 60s for most of the year -- the highest ratings for any president on record in his sixth year . Clinton's ratings spiked three times this year: after the State of the Union speech in January and again in August just after his speech in which he confessed his, misleading the American public for the past seven months. The president got his biggest bounce of all, a phenomenal 73 %, after he got impeached in December. A few more setbacks like that and he'll go into the stratosphere . By contrast, Reagan's approval ratings plummeted during the Iran-Contra scandal. In early December 1986 -- shortly after revelations that the Reagan administration sold arms to Iran and used the profits to support Contra rebels in Nicaragua were made public -- a New York Times poll showed Reagan's approval down 21 %age points in just a month, to 46 %. By late February 1987, his approval was only 42 % -- George W. Bush 's current territory + 20 or more points lower than Clinton's was during most of 1998. From the September 15 edition of Lou Dobbs Tonight : SCHNEIDER: President Bush has one thing going for him as he tries to regain the initiative: He has kept his base. Every leader needs a base. Your base are the people who are with you when you're wrong. This president's base is not abandoning him. Eighty-five % of Republicans stand behind President Bush . His allies defend him. [...] Sooner or later, every leader gets in trouble. President Reagan had Iran-Contra. President Clinton had Monica Lewinsky. Like Bush, they had a base that helped them get through it.

Der "Human Rights Caucus" des US-Kongresses lud daraufhin Vertreter von Industrie und Menschenrechtsorganisationen zum Meinungsaustausch und zur Information des Kongresses ein. Während die Vertreter von Amnesty International, Reporter ohne Grenzen, von Human Rights Watch und Experten der Universitäten Toronto und Harvard der Einladung Folge leisten werden, halten sich die US-Firmen bedeckt. Von Seiten Microsofts und von Cisco gab es offene Absagen, berichtete Ausschuss-Sprecherin Lynne Weil der Nachrichtenagentur AFP, Yahoo und Google äußerten sich dagegen gar nicht.
"Es ist eine Schande", sagte T. Kumar von Amnesty International Asien, "dass amerikanische Internetfirmen sich weigern, dem Kongress Rede und Antwort zu stehen + zur gleichen Zeit Hand in Hand mit den chinesischen Behörden zusammenarbeiten." Seine Organisation fordert den US-Kongress auf, ein Gesetz zu schaffen, das es US-Firmen verbieten solle, an staatlichen Maßnahmen teilzunehmen, die auf die Einschränkung von Menschenrechten abzielen. Paradox sei doch, dass US-Firmen aufgrund von Sanktionen wegen des Verstoßes gegen Menschenrechte beispielsweise mit Myanmar keinen Handel treiben dürften, in China aber der dortigen Regierung bei der Verletzung von Menschenrechten zur Hand gingen.
Wirtschaftsunternehmen wie Microsoft, Yahoo und Google argumentieren dagegen, dass sie den Gesetzen des jeweiligen Landes unterworfen seien, in dem sie sich geschäftlich engagieren. Google verwies in der letzten Woche darauf, dass es in China keinen verbindlichen Katalog zu zensierender Inhalte gebe, das Unternehmen vielmehr vorhabe, sich seine Restriktionen und Freiräume schrittweise zu ertasten.

Auch die übrigen Zahlen der Exxon-Jahresbilanz lesen sich wie das Guiness Buch der Rekorde: Der Jahresumsatz legte von 298 Milliarden Dollar im Vorjahr auf 371 Milliarden Dollar zu - das ist mehr als das Bruttoinlandsprodukt der Schweiz oder das von Schweden. Allein im Schlussquartal konnte der Konzern den Gewinn von 8,4 Milliarden Dollar im Vorjahreszeitraum auf 10,71 Milliarden Dollar steigern. Den Umsatz für das vierte Quartal bezifferte der Konzern auf 99,66 Milliarden Dollar, nach 83,4 Milliarden Dollar im Vorjahr. Das bedeutet einen Gewinn von 1,71 Dollar je Aktie - Analysten hatten lediglich mit 1,44 Dollar gerechnet. Die Börse reagierte mit Kursgewinnen auf die Quartalszahlen. Am New Yorker Aktienmarkt kletterten die Papiere des Ölkonzerns im frühen Handel um 1,35 Prozent 63,22 Dollar.
Der Weltmarktführer profitierte nach Ansicht von Analysten vor allem vom massiven Anstieg der Rohöl- und Gaspreise. Allein die Ölpreise sind im vergangenen Jahr um 40 Prozent nach oben geschnellt und hatten mit 70,85 Dollar je Barrel neues Rekordniveau erreicht. Hintergrund für die ständige Verteuerung waren vor allem die starke Nachfrage in China, Indien und den USA, aber auch Produktionsausfälle etwa nach den Hurrikans in den USA.

Der weltgrößte Ölkonzern ExxonMobil hat 2005 den bislang höchsten Gewinn eines US-Unternehmens überhaupt erzielt. Hintergrund sind die extrem gestiegenen Preise für Rohöl und Gas.

Irving - 36,1 Milliarden Dollar verdiente der Ölmulti im letzten Jahr - fast elf Milliarden Dollar mehr als im Vorjahr und soviel wie kein anderes US-Unternehmen je zuvor. Damit haben die vier führenden US-Mineralölkonzerne ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips und Marathon Oil 2005 einen beispiellosen Gesamtgewinn von 66,7 Milliarden Dollar erzielt und ihr Vorjahresergebnis mehr als verdoppelt.

Die Europäische Union hat sich als Klimaziel gesetzt, die globalen Temperaturen um nicht mehr als zwei Grad Celsius ansteigen zu lassen. Ein Anstieg um zwei Grad werde aber bereits katastrophale Auswirkungen haben, schließen die britischen Wissenschaftler.
Zu den Folgen könnten geringere Ernteerträge in Industrie- und Entwicklungsländern ebenso gehören wie die Ausbreitung der Wüsten und damit einhergehende Migrationsbewegungen in Nordafrika, Wasserknappheit für bis zu 2,8 Milliarden Menschen, Verlust von 97 Prozent der Korallenriffe, Aussterben von Eisbären und Walrossen aufgrund der Eisschmelze in der Arktis und die Ausbreitung von Malaria in Afrika und Nordamerika. Auch das Grönlandeis könnte bei einem solchen Anstieg um zwei Grad Celsius bereits schmelzen, warnen die Forscher.
Noch der letzte große Klimareport des Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) der Uno aus dem Jahr 2001 war beispielsweise davon ausgegangen, dass das Eis der Antarktis stabil sei. Nun sagte Chris Rapley, Vorsitzender der British Antartic Survey der Tageszeitung "The Independent": "Der letzte Bericht des IPCC beschrieb die Antarktis hinsichtlich des Klimawandels als schlafenden Riesen - ich würde sagen, jetzt ist sie ein erwachter Riese. Das ist wirklich bedenklich." Der Eispanzer der Westantarktis beginne womöglich bereits sich aufzulösen. Und sollte auch das Festlandeis Grönlands schmelzen, könnten die Meeresspiegel weltweit um bis zu sieben Meter ansteigen - innerhalb der nächsten tausend Jahre.
Die marine Nahrungskette droht zu reißen
Ein weiterer Bereich, in dem die britischen Wissenschaftler schlimmere Entwicklungen fürchten, ist die Übersäuerung der Weltmeere. Schon seit einiger Zeit häufen sich Forschungsberichte, die zeigen, dass im Meerwasser gelöstes Kohlendioxid die Lebensgrundlage vieler Tiere in Gefahr bringt. Beispielsweise zerstört der dadurch in Gang gebrachte Prozess die Schale von Kleinstlebewesen oder verhindert deren Entwicklung. Weil diese Veränderungen das untere Ende der Nahrungskette angreifen, werden sie sich nach und nach fortpflanzen und schließlich vermutlich auch dem Menschen als Nahrung dienende Fische betreffen. Organismen wie Korallen leiden mancherorts bereits jetzt massiv unter der Verschiebung des pH-Wertes der Ozeane.
Der Bericht kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die aktuellen Erkenntnisse, verglichen mit denen des IPCC aus dem Jahr 2001, sich durch "größere Klarheit und reduzierte Unsicherheit hinsichtlich der Auswirkungen des Klimawandels" auszeichnen. "In vielen Fällen sind die Risiken größer als bislang angenommen."
Weiterhin heißt es in der Zusammenfassung: "Eine Reihe von kritischen Temperaturen und Veränderungsgeschwindigkeiten im Vergleich zu vorindustriellen Zeiten wurden festgestellt." Zum Beispiel könnten lokale Temperaturzunahmen von 2,7 Grad Celsius "eine Schwelle sein, die Grönlands Eiskappe zum Schmelzen bringt". Schon eine Zunahme der globalen Durchschnittstemperatur um ein Grad Celsius würde wahrscheinlich zu "extensivem Korallensterben" führen.
Angst um Europas Warmwasserheizung
Zudem werde es mit einem weiteren Temperaturanstieg immer wahrscheinlicher, dass der nördliche Arm des Golfstromes seinen Dienst einstellt. Eine andere Studie hatte erst vor kurzem gezeigt, dass sich diese für das gemäßigte Klima in Mitteleuropa verantwortliche Meeresströmung tatsächlich bereits abschwächt.
Die britische Umweltministerin Margaret Beckett sagte der BBC, der Bericht werde viele Menschen vermutlich schockieren: "Was der Öffentlichkeit vielleicht noch nicht so bekannt ist, ist der Gedanke, dass wir an einen Wendepunkt kommen könnten, an dem die Veränderung unumkehrbar wird."

Apocalypse Now: Israel's Hamasteria: Only the arrival of the Anti-Christ would have received more “shock and awe” publicity throughout the world media, but especially in the United States, than the free democratic election of Hamas, a legitimate Palestinian resistance movement to free their people from the bloody boot of Israel.

Beating Around the Bush By the Bourse -By Ingmar Lee
Only the uninformed believed Bush when he said it was WMD's that made him attack, invade, occupy and massacre Iraq. Most of us thought it was to steal Iraq's oil, but we were only partly right. What totally terrorized the tyrranical Texan tycoon was when Saddam played the oil bourse card in November, 2000. When Saddam started selling Iraqi oil in euro's, he jeopardized the U.S. dollar's hegemony as the world's supreme foreign exchange transaction currency. - The oil grab is a sideshow. The main feature is the oil bourse.

Petrodollar Warfare Interview With William R. Clark, Author "Petrodollar Warfare: Oil, Iraq and the Future of the Dollar"
The notion that Iraq was invaded to prevent the development of weapons of mass destruction, or to combat terrorism, has long been discredited. But a growing consensus believes that Iraq's oil was surely a prime reason for US actions. However, author William Clark argues convincingly in Petrodollar Warfare that the rationale for intervening was not just for control of the oil fields, but also for control of the means by which oil is traded in global markets.

Rank Ignorance Reigns : By Paul Craig Roberts
Just as there was no evidence that Iraq was developing nuclear weapons, there is no evidence that Iran is developing nuclear weapons. There is nothing but unproven assertions, assertions, moreover, that are contradicted by the evidence that does exist.

Fetzer, a philosopher of science, observed that the government's "official account" is not even physically possible, because it violates laws of nature.

The members of this new non-partisan association,

"Scholars for 9/11 Truth" (S9/11T), are convinced their research proves the current administration has been dishonest with the nation about events in New York + Washington, D.C.
These experts contend that books and articles by members and associates have established that the World Trade Center was almost certainly brought down by controlled demolitions and that the available relevant evidence casts grave doubt on the official story about the attack on the Pentagon. They believe that the government not only permitted 9/11 to occur but may even have orchestrated these events to facilitate its political agenda.
The society includes U.S. and international faculty and students of history, science, military affairs, psychology + even philosophy. According to its spokesmen, S9/11T represents a concerted effort to uphold the standards of truth and justice and to strengthen democracy in this nation, which has taken a terrible hit in the aftermath of 9/11, when "everything changed." Its function is to bring scientific rigor to the study of 9/11 phenomena.
The members of this group are dedicated to exposing falsehoods and to revealing truths behind 9/11, "letting the chips fall where they may." The evidence has become sufficiently strong that they are speaking out. They are actively devoting themselves to reporting the results of their research to the public by means of lectures, articles + other venues.
The society includes numerous notable professors and scholars, including:

29.Jan.2006 For a dumb guy, W just made one smart move If you can't toss an obstruction to the side, raise it up. That's just what George W. Bush did today when he nominated
Noel Hillman to a federal judgeship. Hillman is the prosecutor in charge of the Abramoff investigation.
This clever ploy clears the way for Bush to put someone more malleable into that position. And Jack Abramoff isn't the only reason for the Hillman elevation.
Hillman also spearheaded the probe into the claim that a businessman named Peter Paul illegally gave Hillary Clinton a personal contribution disguised as a donation from his company, Stan Lee media. (Yes, we're talking about Stan the Man, True Believers. They were once partners. )

This falling out stems from a

00.000.2000 fundraising event.

the New York Times offers a good summary here.

00.000.2004 The allegation made some headlines, as Paul pled guilty to an unrelated charge of manipulating company stock.

The right tried their damnedest to use this controversy as a cudgel against Hillary, although nothing really stuck:
00.Mar.2005 Paul had a falling out with his advocates at Judicial Watch.

He accused them of using his name to raise more than $15 million from people who disliked the Clintons, while doing little to advance his case.

He has threatened to sue them for $1 million + announced his plan to replace them with a "dream team" of Republican lawyers...
For their part, Judicial Watch has filed papers seeking to formally sever all ties with Paul...

Auch sei die mögliche Rolle "eines größeren Netzwerks" weiter ungeklärt. Der Bericht stamme zwar aus dem Oktober, schrieb die Zeitung. Gewährsleute hätten jedoch erklärt, seitdem habe sich die Situation kaum verändert.

Berichten der Zeitung "News of the World" und des Fernsehsenders Skynews zufolge haben Ermittlungen jetzt ergeben, dass einige beteiligte Einsatzkräfte ihre mögliche Mitverantwortung vertuschen wollten. So habe eine Abteilung der Polizei zunächst im Protokoll vermerkt, die Einsatzkräfte vor Ort seien informiert worden, dass es sich bei dem betreffenden Mann um den Terrorverdächtigen Hussein Osman handele. Später sei dieses Protokoll abgeändert worden: Dann habe es geheißen, an die Einsatzkräfte sei die Information gegeben worden, dass nicht bekannt sei, um wen es sich bei dem Verfolgten handele. Durch die Manipulation habe die Einsatzleitung offenbar dem Beamten, der den 27-jährigen Menezes schließlich erschoss, die Schuld in die Schuhe schieben wollen.
Eine Stellungnahme der Polizei zu den Vorwürfen gibt es bislang nicht. Die Familie des Erschossenen fühlt sich einem Bericht des "Independent" zufolge in ihrer Sicht der Dinge bestätigt. Ein Sprecher der Hinterbliebenen forderte eine umgehende öffentliche Untersuchung des Falls.
Auch die Geheimdienstermittlungen zu den Anschlägen in London sind mehr als ein halbes Jahr nach den Attentaten noch nicht wirklich vorangekommen. Der Inlandsgeheimdienst MI5 habe nur unzureichende Informationen über die Planung der Anschläge oder über eine mögliche Verstrickung des Terrornetzwerks al-Qaida gewonnen, berichtet die "Sunday Times" heute unter Berufung auf einen vertraulichen Bericht der Ermittler an Ministerpräsident Tony Blair und weitere Minister.

Hansen widersprach deutlich: Solche Maßnahmen hätten schon zuvor verhindert, dass die Öffentlichkeit in vollem Ausmaß die Risiken des aktuellen Klimawandels erfassen könnte. "Kommunikation mit der Öffentlichkeit ist wesentlich", sagte der Wissenschaftler dem Blatt. "Die öffentliche Besorgnis ist vielleicht das einzige, was die Durchsetzung von Einzelinteressen in dieser Sache verhindern kann."
Hansen ist unter anderem für Computersimulationen des globalen Klimas zuständig. Seit 1988 warnte er der Zeitung zufolge wiederholt öffentlich vor den Gefahren von Ausstößen, die zur Erderwärmung beitragen. Der Druck auf ihn habe nach einem Vortrag vor der Amerikanischen Union für Geophysik begonnen, in dem er erklärte, eine deutliche Verringerung der Emissionsmengen könnte mit bereits vorhandener Technik erreicht werden.
Nach Anrufen aus dem Nasa-Hauptquartier hätten ihn Vertreter der Abteilung für Öffentliche Angelegenheiten Konsequenzen angedroht, sollte er solche Aussagen wiederholen. Zu den Restriktionen, von denen Hansen der "New York Times" berichtete und die in einem der Zeitung zugänglichen Papier vorliegen, gehöre die Möglichkeit, den Wissenschaftler bei öffentlichen Auftritten zu ersetzen.

Gestern hat Hansen, der als Direktor des Goodard Instituts für Weltraumstudien bei der Nasa fungiert, in der "New York Times" die Bush-Regierung scharf angegriffen. Er sei von der Abteilung für öffentliche Angelegenheiten unter Druck gesetzt worden. Das Nasa-Hauptquartier habe angeordnet, sowohl seine geplanten Veröffentlichungen und Vorlesungen als auch Einträge auf der Goddard-Website zu begutachten. Auch Interviewanfragen von Journalisten müssten abgesegnet werden. "Sie halten es für ihre Aufgabe, die an die Öffentlichkeit gehenden Informationen zu zensieren", erklärte Hansen in der "New York Times".
Dean Acosta, ein Koordinator des Öffentlichkeitsbüros der Nasa, widersprach umgehend. Es gebe keinerlei Bestrebungen, Hansen mundtot zu machen. Allerdings sollten politische Statements Politikern und ihren Sprechern überlassen werden. Letztlich gehe es aber nicht um Einzelthemen wie Erderwärmung, sondern um "Koordination" von Informationen.

In Lüneburg und Dortmund demonstrierten tausende Menschen friedlich gegen genehmigte Kundgebungen von Neonazis. Die Aufmärsche der Rechten hatte das Bundesverfassungsgericht erst am Freitagabend genehmigt. Das Oberverwaltungsgericht des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen hatte die Dortmunder Neonazi-Demonstration zunächst verboten, wie zuvor bereits das zuständige Verwaltungsgericht in Gelsenkirchen.
Die Gerichte begründeten dies mit dem Zeitpunkt der Kundgebung - nur einen Tag nach dem Holocaust-Gedenktag - und dem Motto - Abschaffung des Tatbestands der Volksverhetzung. Die Richter sahen darin eine Provokation und eine Gefährdung der öffentlichen Ordnung. Am Freitagabend hatte das Bundesverfassungsgericht diese Entscheidung dann aufgehoben. Es fehle an konkreten Verdachtsmomenten, aus der Demonstration heraus könnten Straftaten verübt werden, befanden die obersten Richter.

I thought I would bring you one more thought from Stephen Roach, who was heard speaking in Davos, Switzerland, on the Global Imbalances... "We never know what will cause a break, but we know that it can't go on indefinitely."
28.Jan.2006 
https://www.kitcocasey.com/displayArticlePrint.php?id=511
economist Stephen Roach, wrote this in his 1/20/06 newsletter on Morgan Stanley's website...
"According to Federal Reserve estimates, equity extraction by U.S. households topped $600 billion 00.000.2005 -- more than enough to compensate for the shortfall of earned labor income. Comforted by this asset-based injection of purchasing power, s had little compunction in stretching traditional income-based constraints to the max. The personal saving rate fell deeper into negative territory than at any point since 1933 + outstanding household sector indebtedness -- as well as debt service burdens -- hit new record highs."
He said.... $600 billion had been taken out of houses last year! And someone chastised me once last year when I said that people were using their houses like ATM's...
Oh... And fueling all of this were the low bond yields... With the 10-year Treasury trading around 4.45% yesterday, it was still 40 BPS below the level it traded before the Fed began its rate hike parade 18 months ago! Of course, it will be interesting to see what happens in the next couple of months, as $169 billion in debt is issued this quarter, 17% more than was issued in the first quarter of 2005. Of that $169 billion, $85-88 billion will be in the 10-year Treasury... So... I look for this yield to finally crack and go higher...
Oh... And don't forget that your friendly neighborhood Gov't administration is still telling you that the Budget Deficit is going to be cut in half... Of course they probably forgot the Medicare spending bill they passed last year + the decision to assist in the redevelopment of the Gulf Region... By the way... The 2006 budget is projected to be larger than 2005's!
