"Der Markt für die Depfa ist tot", heißt es dem Bericht zufolge in Finanzkreisen. Für die Refinanzierung muss nun die Hypo einstehen.

Nach "FTD"-Informationen geht es um einen zweistelligen Milliardenbetrag.

Auch der Chef-Ökonom der BHF-Bank, Uwe Angenendt, begrüßte den Kompromiss. "Dieser Schritt war extrem wichtig, um die Nerven von Anlegern und Bankern zu beruhigen", sagte er dem Blatt.

"Jetzt dürfte es an den Märkten zumindest keine weiteren dramatischen Kursverluste geben." Ob das Paket reiche, die Krise zu beenden, sei dagegen zweifelhaft.

"Auch Europa ist nun stärker von den Problemen betroffen - wie stark, ist aber noch schwer einzuschätzen", sagte Angenendt.

Anselm glaubt. Das ist seine Gewissheit, und es ist die Gewissheit seiner Epoche: dass Gott ist.

Aber sollte es nicht gerade deshalb jedem Gläubigen möglich sein, die Existenz eines ewigen und allmächtigen Wesens selbst zu begreifen – ohne alle Bibelstellen und Predigerworte, nur durch den Gebrauch des eigenen Verstandes?

Mit einem Argument, so einfach und klar, dass es in sich selbst schon göttlich ist?

28.Sep.2008 _[...]Karl Marx wusste, noch bevor das Wort Investmentbanking erfunden war, wie beides zusammenhängt:

"Das Kapital hat einen Horror vor der Abwesenheit von Profit oder sehr kleinem Profit wie die Natur vor der Leere.

Mit entsprechendem Profit wird Kapital wach, zehn % sicher, und man kann es überall anwenden;

20 %, es wird lebhaft;

50 %, positiv waghalsig;

100 %, es stampft alle menschlichen Gesetze unter seinen Fuß;

300 %, und es existiert kein Verbrechen, das es nicht riskiert, selbst auf Gefahr des Galgens."

28.Sep.2008 3. Foreign central banks will reassess their purchasing of U.S. debt.
With the U.S. taking on another $1 trillion in debt, foreign central banks will realize the game's over, and the U.S. is never going to be able to pay back its IOUs.

As a result, many foreign banks will either stop buying U.S. debt, or even start trying to sell off the U.S. debt they already carry.
The result of this is increased costs of borrowing for the U.S. There is a small chance that there could be a panicked sell-off of U.S. debt, but I put this chance at only 10% or so.

However, this is an important article worth considering on this point: https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=anZHfo6tQi60

28.Sep.2008 Poor Sleep and Lack of Sleep Can Cause Elevated Blood Pressure in Adolescents
(NaturalNews) Think that hypertension is a condition which strikes only adults and those more advanced in their years? Think again.
Recent research conducted at the Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, has suggested that lack of sleep as well as poor sleep quality can cause elevated blood pressure levels in healthy adolescents.

These associations could not be explained by being overweight, socioeconomic status, sleep apnea, or known comorbidities.
About Blood Pressure, Hypertension and Prehypertension
Blood pressure is the measurement of the force of blood acting against the walls of our arteries and varies throughout the day.

When blood pressure levels remain elevated over a sustained period of time, one then has "high blood pressure", medically referred to as "hypertension".
So what's the big deal about high blood pressure?

It is potentially dangerous because it causes the heart to overwork, and also contributes to the hardening of one's arteries.

Risks of suffering heart disease and stroke , two of the top killers in the US , are thus increased.

Other health conditions, for example congestive heart failure, kidney disease and blindness, can also result from hypertension.
"Prehypertension", on the other hand, is a term used to describe the state whereby one does not have high blood pressure right now, but is likely to get it in the future.

In other words, your blood pressure is high, but not quite high enough yet to qualify for an official diagnosis of hypertension. Prehypertension in adolescents was what the Case Western study looked at.
28.Sep.2008 Details and Findings of Study
The recent study, the first of its kind in terms of drawing a link between not getting enough sleep and blood pressure levels in healthy adolescents, consisted of a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Cleveland Children's Sleep and Health Study.

In total, the study covered 238 adolescents aged 13 to 16. The participants were not known to have sleep apnea, severe comorbidities or other health conditions.
The study, published in the

00.Aug.2008 issue of Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association , assessed sleep duration and efficiency at the homes of the teenagers for three to seven nights.

The participants maintained a daily sleep log, and also wore a wrist device which measured their movement to determine their sleep and wake patterns.
28.Sep.2008 Burstow also called for immediate police action to halt the practice of sedating elderly patients.
"Inappropriate or abusive prescribing is not just sedating older people, it is killing them. The law makes it clear: Treatment without consent is assault. It is time the police and the courts took abuse of elderly people seriously."
Sources for this story include: www.telegraph.co.uk, www.medicalnewstoday.com and www.dailymail.co.uk.
28.Sep.2008 "The over-prescription of anti-psychotic drugs to people with dementia is a serious abuse of human rights," said Neil Hunt, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Society.

"Anti-psychotics should be used as a last resort."
Burstow's mortality numbers were derived from a study led by Clive Ballard from King's College London.

Ballard and colleagues found that Alzheimer's patients who were treated with anti-psychotics had a significantly higher rate of death than those given a placebo.

After 24 months of treatment, only 54.8 % of the anti-psychotic group was still alive, compared with

78 % of the placebo group.

By 42 months, the survival rates had dropped to 28 % in the anti-psychotic group and 60 % in the placebo group.

Die Finanzmarktkrise habe in den vergangenen Monaten gezeigt, dass eine freiwillige Regulierung als Grundlage des Kontrollprogramms nicht funktioniere, sagte SEC-Chef Christopher Cox am Freitag.

Die SEC hatte die fünf größten Wall-Street-Banken - Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley und Bear Stearns - überprüft.

Das Programm sei von Anfang an fehlerhaft gewesen, sagte Cox. Ursache für die Schwäche sei das Fehlen konkreter gesetzlicher Kompetenzen der SEC oder anderer Behörden, um als Regulator zu wirken.

27.Sep.2008 KKK plans to show up at tonight’s debate. - Ali
The Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan plan to appear at the University of Mississippi for tonight’s debate, the university’s student newspaper reports. The emperor confirmed to the Daily Mississippian that KKK members and officers would be on site, but would not demonstrate publicly:

26.Sep.2008 -on- The Mississippi White Knights will have officers + Klansmen on hand for the presidential debate.

Our people will be in Oxford and on the campus ‘invisible.’ That means our people won’t be in regalia or demonstrating. So, I guess you’ll just have to guess which of the people present are Klansmen.

The author of the article, a senior at Ole Miss, told the Wall Street Journal, “Everybody thinks it’s pretty chilling.”
27.Sep.2008 Poll: Majority of Americans want bailout to help Main Street, not just Wall Street. - Amanda
A new USA Today poll finds that 78 % of Americans agree that Congress should pass a plan to rescue America’s financial markets, with 56 % saying the plan should be different from the original one proposed by the Bush administration last week. Sixty three % support limits on CEO compensation for corporations who participate in the bailout and 80 % say provisions to help homeowners unable to afford their mortgages are “important.”
27.Sep.2008 White House Threatens Veto Of Second Stimulus Over Food Stamps And Unemployment Benefits - Ali
Today, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a statement of administrative policy today recommending Bush veto a proposed second stimulus package. The $56.2 billion package, announced yesterday, would extend unemployment benefits for seven weeks, increase food stamp benefits by 10 %, and provide $50 million for food banks, among other proposals. This afternoon, Senate conservatives successfully blocked the bill, as the motion to proceed won 52 votes, eight shy of the necessary 60.

In the press briefing today, just an hour before the Senate vote, Dana Perino said the White House opposed the measure, specifically citing its extension of unemployment and food stamp benefits as explanation:

PERINO: There’s some elements of the package that have been put forward by Democrats that we do not think would be stimulative to the economy, such as unemployment insurance. The food stamps, we believe we have met the need. Watch it:
In fact, the tanking economy has left more Americans in need of food assistance than ever, with 28 million Americans expected to receive food stamps this year, “the highest level since the aid program began in the 1960s.” At the same time, the purchasing power of food stamps has declined dramatically.

Alongside unemployment benefits and food stamps, the OMB also objected to a provision increasing infrastructure spending, arguing, “Infrastructure spending is never an effective means to create rapid stimulus.” However, a Center for American Progress study found that two million jobs could be created within two years through robust investment in green energy and infrastructure.
27.Sep.2008 Democratic leadership ‘effectively shelves’ Iran resolution. - Ryan
The Democratic leadership in the House “effectively shelved” a proposed non-binding resolution that “critics say would amount to a naval blockade of Iran because of concerns that it could provoke another war, officials on Capitol Hill said.” The Washington Times reports:

Even though the document would not be a law but a “statement of policy” aimed at preventing Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, the Democratic leadership is worried that it could be viewed by the Bush administration as a green light to use military force against Iran, officials said. […]

The draft “demands that the president initiate an international effort” that would impose “stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains and cargo entering or departing Iran.”
26.Sep.2008 - Think Progress
Pakistan warned U.S. troops not to intrude on its territory, “after the two anti-terror allies traded fire along the volatile border with Afghanistan.” The clash was “the first serious exchange with Pakistani forces acknowledged by the U.S.” Pakistan’s president said that only “flares” were fired at the U.S. troops.

“ If money isn’t loosened up, this sucker could go down ,” said President Bush at a White House meeting yesterday “as he watched the $700 billion bailout package fall apart before his eyes.” In a statement outside the White House this morning, Bush attempted to project confidence in an eventual deal, saying, “There is no disagreement that something substantial must be done.”

Yesterday, the federal government seized troubled lender Washington Mutual and then “brokered an emergency sale” of the bank to JPMorgan Chase for $1.9 billion. Washington Mutual’s collapse represented the “largest bank failure in American history,” and “JPMorgan Chase will absorb at least $31 billion in losses that would normally have fallen to the F.D.I.C.”
26.Sep.2008 Bailout Deal Appears To Fall Apart After McCain And House GOP Push Surprise Alternate Proposal - Matt
Earlier today, Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress announced that they had reached a “fundamental agreement” on a government bailout of the nation’s financial system. But following a meeting at the White House this afternoon, which included Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Barack Obama (D-IL), there are “fears the Wall Street bailout deal is falling apart.”

In an interview with this evening, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-CT) said the meeting became “contentious” when “all of a sudden there was some new core agreement floating around, which no one had heard of before, until we sort of got to the White House.” Asked who introduced it, Dodd said it was McCain and the House Republicans:

BLITZER: Who introduced that?

DODD: Well, it, we’re told it came out of the Republican House. We were even told at one point that this was, maybe, John McCain was floating the idea. That Hank Paulson was considering it. And of course Barney Frank and I, along with Republicans from the House and the Senate, of course, had spent three hours this morning working on a different core. We were told for the last seven days this was the core issue that would give the secretary the authority to move, to deal with the crisis.

Aggravated from having “spent seven straight days at this,” Dodd said that the surprise proposal at the meeting “looked like…a rescue plan for John McCain for two hours.” “It took us away from the work we were trying to do today,” said Dodd. Watch it:

Noting that “it was McCain who urged President Bush to call the White House meeting,” Politico’s David Rogers writes that “the whole sequence of events confirmed Treasury’s fears about inserting presidential politics into what were already difficult negotiations.” One of the chief negotiators in the House, Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), described it more bluntly:

House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., told Democratic colleagues that McCain’s involvement has destroyed chance of an agreement, sources told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

Frank compared McCain’s involvement to: “Richard Nixon blowing up the Vietnam peace talks in 1968.”

Marc Ambinder reports that McCain and his staff are sounding out “moderate Democrats and conservative Republicans to see whether they support the conservative Republican Study Committee’s alternative bailout bill.” McCain spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker denies McCain is “pushing any specific proposal.”

ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos reports that when Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson told a room full of Democrats, “Please don’t blow this up,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, “We’re not the ones trying to blow this up; it’s the House Republicans.” “I know, I know,” Paulson replied.

26.Sep.2008 Sept. 25, 1878: Yes, Smoking Is a Health Hazard - Tony Long
00.000.1878 Eighty-six years before the U.S. surgeon general issues a report confirming the dangers of smoking tobacco, a letter from English physician Charles R. Drysdale condemning its use appears in The Times of London.

Drysdale, the senior physician to the Metropolitan Free Hospital in London, had already published a book on the subject, Tobacco and the Diseases It Produces, when he wrote the letter that described smoking as "the most evident of all the retrograde influences of our time."

00.000.1864 Drysdale had been on an anti-smoking crusade since at least, the year he published a study documenting the effects on young men of consuming ¾ ounce of tobacco daily.

That study reported cases of jaundice, and at least one subject having "most distressing palpitations of the heart."

Drysdale's book pinpointed nicotine as the dangerous agent and reported its ill effects on the lungs, circulation system, even the skin.

Havana-cut tobacco contained roughly 2 % nicotine, while Virginia tobacco was a more toxic 7 %, Drysdale pointed out.

(Tobacco was a product of the New World and had to be imported to Europe.)

He also warned against exposure to second-hand smoke: "Women who wait in public bar-rooms and smoking-saloons, though not themselves smoking, cannot avoid the poisoning caused by inhaling smoke continually.

Surely gallantry, if not common honesty, should suggest the practical inference from this fact."

The prolific Drysdale wrote on a variety of other related subjects as well, including medicine as a profession for women and issues related to population control.

Despite Drysdale's warnings, and despite the establishment of numerous anti-smoking movements, little was done to curb smoking anywhere in the world.

Though physicians and scientists understood there were numerous health hazards associated with the practice, the number of smokers increased dramatically in the first half of the 20th century.

Thank you, Madison Avenue. Thank you, Hollywood.

00.000.1957 The turning point probably came in - when then-Surgeon General Leroy Burney reported a causal link between smoking and lung cancer.

It was left to Burney's successor, Luther Terry, to lower the boom. Under Terry's direction, a special committee produced Smoking and Health: Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General. This

The agency had $45.2 billion in its coffers as of June 30, far short of the $200 billion Whalen says it will need to pay claims by the end of next year.

Trotz aller Klimaschutzbemühungen sei der CO2-Ausstoß damit seit dem Jahr

00.000.2000 vier Mal schneller gestiegen als im Jahrzehnt davor. Die Zuwachsrate liege noch über dem schlimmsten Szenario des Weltklimarats IPCC.
26.Sep.2008 _[...]Die GCP-Studie " Carbon Budget 2007" wurde von acht Wissenschaftlern verfasst. Sie basiert auf Daten der Uno und des Energiekonzerns BP sowie statistischen Modellen und Erkenntnissen der Klimaforschung.
26.Sep.2008 _[...]Den Zustand natürlicher C02-Speicher bezeichneten die Autoren der Studie als besorgniserregend. Derzeit nähmen Ozeane, Wälder und andere Landflächen mehr als die Hälfte des ausgestoßenen C02 auf und milderten damit den Treibhauseffekt. Ihre Effizienz sei jedoch um fünf % gesunken und werde in den kommenden 50 Jahren weiter zurückgehen. Durch das Abholzen von Wäldern in tropischen Ländern wurden 1,5 Milliarden Tonnen mehr CO2 in die Atmosphäre abgegeben, als neu gepflanzte Bäume absorbieren konnten.

"Diese neue Kohlenstoffbilanz zeigt, dass die Beschleunigung des Ausstoßes von CO2 und seiner Anreicherung in der Atmosphäre beispiellos und höchst überraschend sind", sagte Josep Canadell, Direktor des Global Carbon Projects.

Retter in letzter Not:
26.Sep.2008 _[...]JP-Morgan-Chef Jamie Dimon erreicht mit dem Zukauf das langgehegte Ziel, seine Bank im Westen der USA zu einer starken Kraft im breiten Privatkundengeschäft zu machen.

Vor vier Monaten hatte JP Morgan bereits die ebenfalls durch die Finanzkrise zu Fall gebrachte US-Investmentbank Bear Stearns zu einem Schnäppchenpreis geschluckt.

00.00.2010 -bis Ende- JP Morgan will nun nach eigenen Angaben die Integration der Unternehmen und die Umbenennung abschließen.

Durch die Übernahme entstehe die größte US-Sparkasse mit Kundeneinlagen von mehr als 900 Milliarden Dollar, erklärte die FDIC. Außerdem entstehe dadurch ein Filialnetz, das 42 % der US-Bevölkerung erreiche. Die Bank wird damit ihre Präsenz an der US-Westküste verstärken und die Zahl ihrer Filialen auf 5400 erhöhen können.
26.Sep.2008 _[...]Die Sparkasse habe sich daher in einem unsicheren und unsoliden Zustand bezüglich ihrer Geschäftstransaktionen befunden, erklärte das Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). Seit Wochen hatte die Washington Mutual verzweifelt einen Investor gesucht.
26.Sep.2008 _[...]Es ist der größte Zusammenbruch einer Bank in der US-Geschichte.

26.Sep.2008 Bush’s former Treasury Secretary: ‘I don’t think Bush understands’ the financial crisis. - Faiz
Former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill said President Bush is “in a panic” over the financial crisis and isn’t well-equipped to deal with it. “I don’t think he understands or knows much about any of this and it shows,” O’Neill told ABC News. In his 2004 book, The Price of Loyalty, O’Neill revealed that Dick Cheney argued in a White House meeting that “deficits don’t matter.” O’Neill also said that he was disturbed that Bush was so disengaged on domestic issues.
26.Sep.2008 Echoes Of Iraq War: White House Claims Bailout Will Pay For Itself - Ali
To justify the exorbitant cost of the bailout for the financial industry, Bush administration officials have been repeating the dubious claim that American taxpayers should expect to recover much, if not all, of the proposed $700 billion:

PAULSON: This is not an expenditure. … Money will come back in.

BERNANKE: What’s clear is that the $700 billion is not an expenditure. There’s going to be a substantial amount of recovery.

BUSH: Money will flow back to the Treasury as these assets are sold, and we expect that much, if not all, of the tax dollars we invest will be paid back.

White House spokesmen Ed Gillespie and Tony Fratto appeared on Fox News, repeating that “a lot of that money, and maybe all of it, will come back.” Watch a compilation:

As Paul Krugman writes, “The premise of the Paulson plan — though never stated bluntly — is that these assets are hugely underpriced, so that Uncle Sam can buy them at prices that help the financial industry a lot, without big losses for taxpayers. Are you prepared to bet $700 billion on that premise?”

The White House’s assurances that the bailout will pay for itself is eerily reminiscent of the assurances the Bush team made that the Iraq war would be similarly inexpensive — if not profitable — for America.

Take a look at some of those promises:

[7/11/02] RICHARD PERLE, Chair of Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board:

“Iraq is a very wealthy country. Enormous oil reserves. They can finance, largely finance the reconstruction of their own country. And I have no doubt that they will. ”

[3/27/03] PAUL WOLFOWITZ, Deputy Defense Secretary:

“There is a lot of money to pay for this that doesn’t have to be US taxpayer money, and it starts with the assets of the Iraqi people.

We are talking about a country that can really finance its own reconstruction and relatively soon. ”

[2/18/03]ARI FLEISCHER, White House press secretary:

“Iraq has tremendous resources that belong to the Iraqi people. And so there are a variety of means that Iraq has to be able to shoulder much of the burden for their own reconstruction. ”

[9/16/02] LAWRENCE LINDSEY, White House economic adviser:

“The likely economic effects [of a war in Iraq] would be relatively small…. Under every plausible scenario, the negative effect will be quite small relative to the economic benefits. ”

Krugman concludes, “The whole premise of the bailout push has been ‘We’re the grownups, we know what we’re doing, just trust us.’ Sorry, but that’s how Colin Powell sold the Iraq war.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice … you shouldn’t get fooled.”
26.Sep.2008 War in Afghanistan is now ‘15 times more’ deadly than Iraq. - Ryan
Brandon Friedman at VetVoice writes today that “one year ago — last September — the hostile fire death rates in Iraq and Afghanistan were roughly equal. But now, in terms of hostile fire death rates, what was once seen as the ’safer’ theater, Afghanistan has now exploded to the point that it’s nearly 15 times more dangerous for American troops than Iraq.” Using causality figures from the last 30 days, Friedman finds:

Hostile fire death rate in Iraq: 7 deaths per 146,000 troops (.005 %)
Hostile fire death rate in Afghanistan: 7 deaths per 10,000 troops (.07 %)
26.Sep.2008 Treasury explains how it came up with $700 billion: We just wanted ‘a really large number.’ - Amanda
Forbes writes on part of the reason that the American public is so skeptical of the Bush administration’s bailout proposal:

In fact, some of the most basic details, including the $700 billion figure Treasury would use to buy up bad debt, are fuzzy.

“It’s not based on any particular data point,” a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. “ We just wanted to choose a really large number. ”

Um »das amerikanische Volk« umzustimmen, schürte Bush mit seiner Mittwoch-Rede Angst.

Bei Ablehnung oder Verzögerung des Rettungsplans sei eine »lange und schmerzhafte Rezession« zu erwarten, denn wenn die Banken zusammenbrechen und die Aktienkurse weiter sinken würden,

»würden auch die Hauspreise weiter fallen, Unternehmen würden pleite gehen und Millionen Amerikaner ihre Arbeit verlieren«.
26.Sep.2008 ^[...]Besondere Kritik galt jedoch der Passage des Plans, die vom Parlament fordert, Paulson einen Blankoscheck über die gigantische Summe von vorerst 700 Milliarden US-Dollar auszustellen.

Er soll über die Summe auf diktatorische Art und Weise verfügen, ohne Kontrolle durch den Kongreß, ohne für Fehler oder Mißwirtschaft je juristisch verantwortlich gemacht werden zu können.

Die Unverfrorenheit, mit der die Staatskasse als Selbstbedienungsladen benutzt werden soll, hat allerdings die Volksseele in den USA zum Kochen gebracht.
26.Sep.2008 ^[...]US-Finanzmedien berichten, daß die führenden Vertreter der Wall-Street-Finanzinstitute bei den nächtelangen Sitzungen mit Paulson tonangebend waren.

Daß der Minister dabei ein besonders offenes Ohr für sie hatte, ist nicht überraschend, schließlich war er, bevor er von Bush im

00.Mai 2006 in die Administration berufen wurde, selbst jahrelang Chef der Investmentbank Goldman Sachs gewesen, einer der größten »Heuschrecken« an der Wall Street.

Die von US-Regierungsbeamten eingebrachten Vorschläge, nicht nur den Banken, sondern auch den Millionen Hypothekenschuldnern zu helfen, z. B. durch die Reduzierung ihrer Hypothekenschulden,

wurden von diesem Kreis ausnahmslos als unannehmbar zurückgewiesen.

Wir müssen einfach die Insassen von McCains Wahlkampfbus befragen, denn da fahren alle Schuldigen mit. Last week, Republican presidential candidate John McCain called for a commission to "find out what went wrong" on Wall Street. It was an excellent suggestion: Public inquiries into Wall Street practices served the country well in the 1930s.

And Mr. McCain has a special advantage to bring to any such investigation -- many of the relevant witnesses are friends or colleagues of his. In fact, he can probably get to the bottom of the whole mess just by cross-examining the people riding on his campaign bus. Harharhar.

The Fed chairman said he favors buying the assets based on their "hold-to-maturity" value, which would require an estimate to be made of what each security will eventually be worth as payments come in over the years.

"If the Treasury bids for and then buys assets at a price close to the hold-to-maturity price, there will be substantial benefits," Bernanke told the Senate Banking Committee. "First, banks will have a basis for valuing those assets and will not have to use fire-sale prices. Their capital will not be unreasonably marked down."

Speaking of hysteria, the whistleblowing website Wikileaks released a non-public "for official use only" document by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Titled "Fear of Terrorist Attack Could Trigger Mass Psychogenic Illness," the

00.000.2006 report by the Homeland Infrastructure Threat and Risk Analysis Center (HITRAC) cautions that terrorism-fear-created illnesses are "an additional factor to consider in the response to terrorist attacks, particularly those involving chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) weapons.

The number of those suffering psychogenic illness could far exceed the number of actual casualties in a CBR event."
That's rich coming from a government office that specializes in whipping-up endless terror frenzies amongst the American public!

The HITRAC "private sector note" provides DHS's "perspective on the potential for mass psychogenic illness occurring as a result of anxiety over terrorism ." (emphasis added)
Proving once again, as Lilly Tomlin wisely said: "No matter how cynical I get, I can't keep up"!
25.Sep.2008 ^[...]12:00 PM

11.Sep.2001 -Since- the United States Government has launched systematic assaults against the constitutional rights of American citizens and legal residents.

As the illegal aggression against the people of Iraq has revealed in all its ghastly horror, the "war on terror" is a war of terror against anyone who would challenge U.S. imperialism's claim to be undisputed "masters of the universe."
From warrantless wiretapping to torture, from preemptive wars of aggression and conquest to the plunder of the environment on behalf of corporate "friends," and from indefinite detention of "enemy combatants" to secretive plans for martial law, the Bush administration and their congressional enablers in both capitalist political parties demonstrate on a daily basis that the greatest threat to the American people comes, not from foreign terrorists or Islamic jihadists, but from neofascist fundamentalists here at home . ^[...]
25.Sep.2008-00.000.1803 U.S. constitutional tradition has recognized that the courts wield what Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall called "judicial supremacy," that is, the court is the final arbiter of what is and what is not the law .

Bushist ideologues stand this principle on its head and transform a society based on law into a "managed democracy" predicated on the whims of corporations and the men who wield executive power in their "unitary" interests.
^[...]Indeed, Nixon's blatant and illegal surveillance of his political opponents was included in Article 2 of the impeachment articles against him.
^[...]The Fourth Amendment states in plain and simple language:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
But in a perverse interpretation of the constitutional separation of powers, Bushist minions such as torture-enabler John C. Yoo, formerly an attorney with the DoJ's Office of Legal Counsel and currently a tenured professor at the University of California's Boalt Hall Law School, stated publicly that the President, in his role as "Commander-in-Chief," has the authority to bypass, indeed subvert, laws passed by Congress.
^[...]As Antifascist Calling has previously reported on many occasions, the telecommunications giant had constructed a secret room (SG3 Secure Room, room number 641A) for the exclusive use of the National Security Agency's spying operations at AT&T's Folsom St. office.
On Saturday, EFF reported that the government "started the formal process for retroactive immunity for the telecommunications companies sued by EFF and others for their involvement in the warrantless surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans."

02.Dec.2008 -That hearing is set for in San Francisco.
The state filed a secret "certification" by U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey with the court along with a public submission of its claim of limitless executive power "during a time of war."
However in a bold, preemptive move on Thursday, EFF filed a new lawsuit against the government. That suit, Jewel v. NSA , targets the National Security Agency, President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Cheney's sinister chief of staff, David Addington, and former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Filed "on behalf of AT&T customers," the civil rights organization has opened a new front against the government and their corporate partners. EFF declared:
The lawsuit, Jewel v. NSA , is aimed at ending the NSA's dragnet surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans and holding accountable the government officials who illegally authorized it.
25.Sep.2008 ^[...]Without another major terrorist attack like those of 9/11, Homeland Security Research, the industry tracker,

expects the market for security goods + services to increase to $178 billion 00.000.2015, or triple its current value.
But

00.000.2015 a major attack in the United States, Europe or Japan could increase the global market to $730 billion, more than a twelvefold increase, the company says.
Most of the growth this decade will come from building what Homeland Security Research calls "a homeland defense infrastructure."

10.Sep.2006 Growth areas are likely to include technology for surveillance + for detection of nuclear + other weapons of mass destruction. (Gary Stoller, "Homeland security generates multibillion business," USA Today)
^[...]And do they ever coordinate!
Members include corporate heavy-hitters such as Bechtel, Fluor Corp., Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Textron and Washington Group International. Mid-sized firms such as E.J. Krause & Associates, Intelsat Government Solutions, Galileo International, Shaw Group, and Worldwide Security Associates. Additionally, smaller firms and universities include AR Challenges, Georgetown University, Intelliorg, the John Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, and QED are saddled-up in HSIA's stable.
00.000.2006 As USA Today reported back in -
^[...]All our work is unattributable.
To sweeten the pot, James told Skilling,
We also have an association with Kissinger/McLarty Associates for although our work is very different the services we both provide can be complementary.

Our US client base is increasing well but at the same time we wish to remain small and discreet. (Confidential email from Christopher James to Jeffrey Skilling, posted by Enron Explorer, 08.Jul.2001 )

Die aktuellen Vorwürfe lassen sämtliche Verfahren in Guantanamo in neuem Licht erscheinen: In fast allen Fällen legt einzig die Militär-Anklage die Beweise vor, und das unter strenger Geheimhaltung und oft mit zeitlicher Verzögerung. Die Verteidiger haben meist kaum eine Chance, die von Militärs und Geheimdiensten vorgelegten Informationen zu überprüfen.
25.Sep.2008 _[...]Dennoch: Der Fall kann zu einem für die US-Regierung peinlichen Beispiel für die fragwürdige Praxis der Militärtribunale werden. Seit langem steht das Prozedere in der Kritik, dass sowohl die Anklage, Verteidigung und die Richter vom Militär gestellt werden. Erst kürzlich - und erst nach einem juristischen Marathon - hatte die Regierung auch zivile Anwälte zugelassen.

Der Rücktritt kommt für die Verantwortlichen in Guantanamo zur Unzeit. Erst vergangene Woche wurde ein hochrangiger Militärberater spontan von seinem Posten versetzt, offiziell ein weiteres Mal "Routine". Beobachter hingegen berichteten, der ranghohe Militär habe massiv versucht, die Tribunale zu beeinflussen. Sein angebliches Ziel: schnelle Urteile um jeden Preis.

25.Sep.2008 GOP rises up ‘en masse’ against White House bailout package. - Satyam
Today, Vice President Cheney and White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten spent the day in Congress trying to convince conservatives to accept the administration’s bailout package. Politico reports, however, that “House Republicans rose up en masse against their vice president.” ThinkProgress has compiled a list of conservatives who have declared opposition to the administration’s $700 billion bailout:

Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY)
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC)
Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ)
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA)
Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO)
Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN)
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA)
Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL)

“They were in worse shape when they left than when they came in,” said one lawmaker who was in the caucus meeting with Cheney and Bolten. “These were the wrong guys…The problem is that they’ve used up a lot of good will.” Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called the administration’s bailout “just wrong.”

It is not one of unremitting hostility and even amongst hardliners has in the past proven to be tempered by pragmatic considerations and calculated self-interest. Mashaei’s distinction between the Israel government and the Israeli people attests to the factional nuances that are so often overlooked by those beating the drum for military conflict. Continue

24.Sep.2008 In Case You Missed It - The Zionist Plan for the Middle East - Translated and edited by - Israel Shahak
The plan operates on two essential premises. To survive, Israel must 1) become an imperial regional power, and 2) must effect the division of the whole area into small states by the dissolution of all existing Arab states. Small here will depend on the ethnic or sectarian composition of each state. Consequently, the Zionist hope is that sectarian-based states become Israel's satellites and, ironically, its source of moral legitimation. Continue

A new Ipsos/McClatchy online poll finds that “a solid majority of 57 % thinking that the country can win the war on terrorism but a similar majority of 54 % saying that the country is NOT winning it.

… If Americans are turning more pessimistic about the so-called war on terrorism, it could present a challenge for McCain.”

23.Sep.2008 Conflict Of Interest? Report Says Goldman Sachs ‘Among Biggest Beneficiaries’ Of Paulson’s Bailout - Satyam
In making his push to administer the largest federal bailout of Wall Street in history, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is seeking unfettered authority.

McClatchy poses the question today, “can you trust a Wall Street veteran with a Wall Street bailout?,” referring to Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs:

But the conflicts are also visible. Paulson has surrounded himself with former Goldman executives as he tries to navigate the domino-like collapse of several parts of the global financial market .

And others have gone off to lead companies that could be among those that receive a bailout.

00.Jul.2008 -In late- Paulson tapped Ken Wilson, one of Goldman’s most senior executives, to join him as an adviser on what to about problems in the U.S. and global banking sector.

00.Jul.2008 Paulson’s former assistant secretary, Robert Steel, left to become head of Wachovia, the Charlotte-based bank that has hundreds of millions of troubled mortgage loans on its books.

00.000.2005 Goldman Sachs cashed in under Paulson, with earnings of $5.6 billion; Paulson made more than $38 million that year. A

00.000.2005 annual report shows that “Goldman was still a significant player” in issuing mortgage bonds.

The conflict of interest is increasingly clear today, as Bloomberg reports that “Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley may be among the biggest beneficiaries” of Paulson’s bailout plan:

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley may be among the biggest beneficiaries of the $700 billion U.S. plan to buy assets from financial companies while many banks see limited aid, according to Bank of America Corp.

“ Its benefits, in its current form, will be largely limited to investment banks + other banks that have aggressively written down the value of their holdings + have already recognized the attendant capital impairment,” Jeffrey Rosenberg, Bank of America’s head of credit strategy research, wrote in a report today, without identifying particular investment banks.”

The conflict of interest provides all the more reason for the bailout legislation in Congress to have more stringent oversight that the administration opposes.

The Wonk Room notes six months ago, Paulson claimed, “our banks and investment banks, are strong.”

The court “rejected the government’s claim that releasing the photos would endanger the lives or physical safety of U.S. troops and civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. A lower court judge had already ordered that identifying facial features be removed from the pictures before they are released.”
23.Sep.2008 Biden: National Guard head deserves ’seat at the table’ with Joint Chiefs. - Ali
Today, Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) spoke to the National Guard Association Conference. Noting that more than half of the veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have been National Guard members or reservists, Biden declared, “Your voice needs to be heard.” He said that Lt. Gen. Craig McKinley, slated to be the first four-star general to head the Guard, should have a seat at the table with the Joint Chiefs:

It’s time for a change. Change begins with giving the Guard a seat at the table. That table in the Pentagon where the Joint Chiefs sit. General McKinley, I not only want to see your fourth star — I want to see you sitting there with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mullen. Your men and women are serving and dying. Your voice needs to be heard.

00.000.2006 A similar proposal was made, but it was rejected by Donald Rumsfeld and Peter Pace, then-Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, respectively.
23.Sep.2008 Dodd: Financial crisis is not a ‘natural disaster like the Gustav hurricane.’ - Amanda
Today in an interview with NPR, Senate Banking Committee chairman Chris Dodd (D-CT) sharply criticized the Bush administration for demanding $700 billion with no accountability, noting that no accountability largely led to this financial crisis in the first place:

I spent quite a bit of time last night with my colleague from Alabama, Sen. Shelby, who is the ranking Republican on the banking committee. I ran into Mel Martinez of Florida, the Republican senator from that start. I’ve talked to others here. This isn’t just Democrats. This isn’t a natural disaster like the Gustav hurricane. This is a man-made, avoidable, preventable problem — and a lack of oversight and accountability was one of the problems.

Dodd’s comments were a swipe against President Bush, who last week cited the financial crisis in the same breath as terrorist attacks and natural disasters.
23.Sep.2008 Bush Backs Unlimited Compensation For Disgraced CEOs: Now Is Not The Time For ‘Punitive Measures’ - Amanda
Today, the White House released a statement criticizing Congress’s potential plan to limit CEO compensation at the companies the federal government is bailing out, firmly standing against any “punitive measures”:

We certainly understand and are sympathetic to the sentiment regarding the pay of CEOs and senior management of these firms, but we have to focus on the problem, and the problem is that we need these firms to participate in the program and sell us this debt. Having punitive measures would provide a disincentive for firms to participate, and that would make the program much less likely to succeed.

CEO compensation and corporate governance in public companies are very important issues — especially when receiving taxpayer support — but we need to be focused on fixing this problem in our markets right now. We can and should return to those issues once we get this legislation passed.

President Bush also released another statement earlier today warning Congress against inserting any “Bush_warns_Congress_against_unrelated_provisions” unrelated provisions” — such as help for struggling homeowners — in the $700 billion Wall Street bailout.

The Bush administration’s position is unjustifiable. As ABC News reported:

00.000.2007, Wall Street’s five biggest firms — Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley — paid a record $39 billion in bonuses to themselves.

That’s $10 billion more than the $29 billion loan taxpayers are making to J.P. Morgan to save Bear Stearns. Those

00.000.2007 bonuses were paid even though the shareholders in those firms last year collectively lost about $74 billion in stock declines — their worst year since 00.000.2002.

In short, the Bush administration wants zero punishment for these wreckless CEOs who lost shareholder money and are now costing each person in the United States $2,000.

In return for $700 billion, the White House has yet to name any ways that it will hold these corporations accountable or institute safeguards to ensure that this irresponsible lending and borrowing won’t happen again.

Furthermore, the White House is demanding that Congress give up its oversight powers for this deal and “place no restrictions on the administration other than requiring semiannual reports to Congress, granting the Treasury secretary unprecedented power to buy and resell mortgage debt.”
23.Sep.2008 New poll: Zero % of Americans think national economy is improving. - Ali
A new American Research Group poll shows that “[n]o Americans say that the national economy is getting better,” while 82 % say it is getting much worse.

Only 17 % approve of President Bush’s handling of the economy, with 78 % disapproving. Even among Republicans, more disapprove of his economic performance than approve:

Among Republicans, 46% approve of the way Bush is handling the economy and 48% disapprove. Among Democrats, 97% disapprove of the way Bush is handling the economy and 2% approve.

Among independents, 8% approve and 87% disapprove of the way Bush is handling the economy.

Bush’s overall approval rating fell to 19 %, from 30 % last month, with 76 % disapproving.

That’s $10 billion more than the $29 billion loan taxpayers are making to J.P. Morgan to save Bear Stearns.

Those 2007 bonuses were paid even though the shareholders in those firms last year collectively lost about $74 billion in stock declines — their worst year since 2002.

These company executives are still fiercely fighting to protect their pay. Politico notes that the Bush Treasury Department is “resisting efforts” by House Democrats “to impose pay limits on Wall Street executives and bankers.”
23.Sep.2008 McCain: I’m glad I deregulated Wall Street. - Satyam
In the wake of last week’s financial meltdown, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has been calling for more regulation and criticizing lax oversight of Wall Street, despite the fact that he and former senator Phil Gramm passed much of the deregulatory reforms that led to the current crisis. Interviewed on CBS today, however, McCain said he does not “regret” championing the deregulation of Wall Street:

Q: In

00.000.1999, you were one of the senators who helped pass deregulation of Wall Street. Do you regret that now?

McCAIN: No. I think the deregulation was probably helpful to the growth of our economy .

Nicht anfreunden kann sich der Finanzminister dagegen mit dem Vorschlag, dass die Vorstandsgehälter und Abfindungen von Banken, die von dem Rettungsplan profitieren, begrenzt werden sollen.

Das könne sie von einer Teilnahme an dem Programm abhalten. Doch dieses Thema ist sowohl demokratischen als auch republikanischen Wahlkämpfern ein Herzensanliegen.
23.Sep.2008 "Es geht darum, eine neue Große Depression zu verhindern", erklärt der Wirtschaftshistoriker Irwin Collier aus Berlin. "Die Weltuntergangsszenarien, die Bernanke gezeichnet hat, waren erschütternd."
23.Sep.2008 Paulson selbst weiß offenbar am besten, wie das gehen soll.
23.Sep.2008 "Ich fordere Sie auf, so rasch wie möglich zu handeln", rief er das Parlament auf.

Keine leichte Entscheidung für die Abgeordneten. Denn der am Wochenende bekannt gewordene Gesetzentwurf gibt Paulson - oder seinem Nachfolger - einen Freibrief für zwei Jahre, über bis zu 700 Milliarden Dollar zu verfügen.

"Der Finanzminister", heißt es dort, "ist ermächtigt, mit Kreditforderungen verbundene Wertpapiere von jedem in den Vereinigten Staaten tätigen Finanzinstitut aufzukaufen". Und zwar "zu Bedingungen, die der Finanzminister festlegt".

23.Sep.2008 _{https://www.spiegel.de/}wirtschaft/0,1518,druck-580043,00.html
Bundesfinanzminister Peer Steinbrück (SPD) betonte am Dienstag, für ein Rettungspaket bestehe in Deutschland nicht die Notwendigkeit.
23.Sep.2008 Das geplante US-Paket sei eine noch nie erlebte "Sozialisierung von Verlusten".
23.Sep.2008 "Deutschland darf auch deutschen Banken keine faulen Kredite abkaufen", sagte CSU-Landesgruppenchef Peter Ramsauer.
23.Sep.2008 "Ich bedauere, dass die deutsche Politik sagt, die USA sollen sehen, wie sie zurechtkommen. Das ist ein falscher Ansatz", sagte Linkspartei-Chef Oskar Lafontaine.
23.Sep.2008 "Wir brauchen starke Maßnahmen."
23.Sep.2008 "Wir brauchen ein Reformprogramm."
23.Sep.2008 "Auch ich bin frustriert. Der Steuerzahler ist bereits am Haken", sagte er.
23.Sep.2008 Der Demokrat Barney Frank aus den Repräsentantenhaus erklärte, was Paulson und Bernanke vertreten, sei, dass "manche CEOs ihre Fähigkeiten künftig darauf konzentrieren werden, uneingeschränkte Kompensationen zu erhalten - einschließlich Belohnungen für eigenes Versagen". Er fügte hinzu: "Wenn das wahr ist, sind wir in einer schlechteren Verfassung als wir denken."
23.Sep.2008 "Was mir besondere Sorge macht, ist die Tatsache, dass wir keinerlei Gewissheit haben, dass der Plan funktioniert", sagte er.
23.Sep.2008 Außerdem bestrafe der Plan nicht die für die Krise verantwortlichen Manager.
23.Sep.2008 Zugleich werde dem Finanzminister "zu viel Macht" gegeben.
23.Sep.2008 Das geplante Hilfsprogramm sei "finanzieller Sozialismus und unamerikanisch", sagte der republikanische Senator Jim Bunning.
23.Sep.2008 Zugleich wollen die Abgeordneten den Plan der scheidenden Regierung von Bush nicht einfach durchwinken, weil sich viele von ihnen am 4. November ebenfalls zur Wahl stellen müssen.
23.Sep.2008 Die Sitzungsperiode des Kongresses endet an diesem Freitag.
23.Sep.2008 Präsident Georg W. Bush äußerte sich zuversichtlich,
23.Sep.2008 "Der Kongress muss dringend handeln, um die Situation zu stabilisieren und die andernfalls sehr ernsten Folgen für unsere Finanzmärkte und unsere Wirtschaft zu verhindern",

machte Bernanke in einer Stellungnahme vor dem Bankenausschuss des Senats deutlich. "Die Märkte sind in einer sehr zerbrechlichen Verfassung", sagte er.

Wenn nichts geschehe, würde es für Unternehmer immer schwieriger, Bankenkredite zu erhalten.

Außerdem würden Arbeitsplätze gefährdet.

Finanzminister Paulson mahnte, die Pläne für das Rettungspaket möglichst rasch in Gesetzesform zu gießen.
23.Sep.2008 Doch sogar Republikaner stellen sich quer - sie finden das 700-Milliarden-Dollar-Paket "unamerikanisch".

25.Ok.1929 "Börsenkrise vorbei", lautete die trügerische Schlagzeile: Ein Banken-Konsortium habe den Kurssturz gestoppt.

"An der ganzen Wall Street herrschte extreme Erleichterung, und die Vorhersage aus aller Munde lautete: Das Schlimmste ist vorbei."
23.Sep.2008 "Die Leute sehnen sich nach der kleinsten Entspannung."
23.Sep.2008 "Da draußen herrscht ungeheurer Stress", sagte Todd Walter, der Chef der Spa-Gruppe Red Door, dem "Wall Street Journal".
23.Sep.2008 Die Wall-Street-Krise sickert allerdings bis in die unteren Einkommensbranchen durch - und die wird es, mangels toller Abfindungen und "goldener Fallschirme", am härtesten treffen.

Schuhputzer, Chauffeure, Laufburschen, Schneiderinnen, Blumenhändler: Alle lebten bisher von der Spendierfreude der obersten Zehntausend.
