Despite the worldwide objection to Israel's apalling militarist actions, American Jews, according to a newly released report by the Anti-Defamation League, American Jews, not unlike Israeli Jews, have not joined the international community in this concern. Rather, they cheer the excesses of their military in a chilling replay of what is often called the "Good Germans" of WWII.

Every year, dogs die in the Iditarod—Alaska’s grueling 1,150-mile dog-sled race—and this year has proven to be no exception. The race’s participants, almost none of whom are indigenous Alaskans, are motivated by only one thing, the cash prize, and they will do almost anything to attain it.

Obama Budget Makes Clean Break with Bush Trickle-Down Ideology
Interview with Robert Borosage, co-director of Campaign for America's Future, conducted by Scott Harris
In unveiling his first proposed budget for fiscal year 2010, President Barack Obama has staked out new priorities for the nation, making a clean break with his predecessor's trickle down, "government is the enemy" philosophy. In justifying its change in direction, the White House attached a narrative to the budget titled, "Growing Imbalance: Accumulating Wealth and Closing Doors to the Middle Class," which presented a set of statistics illustrating growing wealth inequality and making the case that a change in the tax code was necessary to redress the imbalance that for 8 years has harmed America's middle class.
The 3.6 trillion dollar budget proposes an increase in taxes on couples earning more than $250,000 a year, by raising the top two marginal income tax rates to 39.6 percent and 36 percent, limiting itemized tax deductions and increasing taxes on capital gains to 20 percent from the current 15 percent. Taxes on Wall Street Financiers would also be raised. On the spending side, Obama wants to make major investments in energy independence, the environment, education and health care reform.
The president's budget will undoubtedly be challenged by Republicans, many of whom have a fierce loyalty to policies favoring corporations and the wealthy, an ideology championed by Ronald Reagan. But, conservative Congressional Democrats maybe the most formidable obstacle in winning passage of Obama's key priorities. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Robert Borosage, co-director of Campaign for America's Future, who explains how Obama's budget moves the nation in a more progressive direction and the important political battles that lie ahead.

Reiterar sobre un tema que reviste suma importancia, dado que no solamente fue el epicentro de los sucesos que dieron al traste con la Revolución Bolivariana por pocas horas en abril del 2002 y con ellos el secuestro del presidente Chávez, sino que lo es también para el resto de países de la región que le han dicho basta al imperio y han resuelto, soberanamente, escoger su propio esquema político de desarrollo con justicia social y, sobre todo, en paz y con respeto absoluto a los lineamientos de una democracia participativa y protagónica.

Societally-sponsered child-abuse via the family unit structure is rampant in today's society. never before in history has child abuse been so rampant. In general, leftists and so-called revolutionaries actually SUPPORT the mass abuse of children via the family unit structure. They protest the conditions that expose thier feelings of inferiority. But thier protests are not commonly extended to the root cause of child abuse.

This article demonstrates that the current global quest for alternative energy sources such as nuclear power is poisoning the land of communities deemed lucky enough to have such lucrative resources at hand. The article provides an exposé of the negative impacts of uranium mining in Namibia’s Topnaar Nama communities.
Depuis des mois, les syndicats USAP-CGT, FO, CFTC, SUD SANTE, CFE-CGC avec les personnels de l’AP-HP combattent contre le démantèlement de l’AP-HP, pour le maintien du Siège, des 38 hôpitaux et de toutes leurs structures, pour le retrait de la loi Bachelot.
C’est dans ce cadre que nous avons été reçus en intersyndicale le vendredi 6 mars par Mme Bachelot, Ministre de la Santé, suite à l’adoption de l’amendement n° 868 présenté au cours de la discussion de la loi HPST qui place l’AP-HP sous la tutelle de l’Agence Régionale de santé (ARS).

Sie haben das Recht zu schweigen - Wolle mer se reilasse? ... Wer unbequeme Dinge ausspricht oder gar publiziert, mit kritischen Menschen verkehrt oder öffentlich eine konträre Meinung äußert, der gilt heute ja schon nicht mehr nur als Querulant, sondern fast als Terrorist oder Staatsfeind. Da bestimmte Kreise diese kritischen Menschen nicht einfach gewähren lassen wollen, werden bisweilen zweifelhafte Maßnahmen ergriffen, um diese “Freigeister” einzuschränken. Beispielsweise mit Hausdurchsuchungen. Was hierbei rechtens ist und wie Sie sich dagegen wehren können, erklärt Udo Vetter in seinem Vortrag.
Internationally, police officers who mutilate or kill people on duty usually get off scot-free, often without the cases even making the news. The Swiss internet site PigBrother.info exposes such cases and the police weapons involved. Though often labelled "less lethal" and portrayed as "harmless", many have proved to be fatal; others have been banned for use in war by e.g. the Geneva Convention yet still frequently used by policeforces worldwide.
Contemporary terrorism differs in nature and approach from the nineteenth century terrorism because earlier it was linked only with national struggles for independence and social justice and they used to do best to avoid civil causalities, whereas, recent form of terrorism made almost no difference between particular regime and ordinary citizens.

Law is meant to regulate the conduct of citizens of a nation. In the modern information and communication technology (ICT) era it becomes very important to have good ICT laws and regulations. In India we have Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act, 2000) as the sole cyber law of India. The same has recently been weakened further by the proposed Information Technology (Amendment) Bill, 2008. This article is analysing the same from a critical perspective.
We human animals fancy ourselves to be the master species, “unique” in our “superior” cognitive and communicative capacities. Yet our most noticeable characteristic is our ability to create global havoc, devastation, and misery.

"There are 56,000 NATO troops (including 18,000 Americans), and 19,000 other U.S. troops in Afghanistan. They were supposed to stabilize Afghanistan. But their presence has led to more Afghans being killed, not fewer. It's unlikely that another 17,000 pairs of boots escalating the war, still without a strategy, will somehow succeed.
Instead of more troops, what's needed is a negotiated, diplomatic settlement bringing together all parties in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the region – yes, including the Taliban."

Schon länger habe ich den Verdacht, eher noch die Befürchtung, dass Al Gore und seine weltweite Gefolgschaft der CO2-Sekte nicht dabei zusehen werden, dass die “Klimakatastrophe” offensichtlich ausfallen muss, weil das Klima nämlich keine Lust auf Erwärmung und zugehörige Lügen hat. Was werden sie tun? Vielleicht wird einfach das Zweifeln an der weltweiten - durch menschengemachtes CO2 verursachten - Klimaerwärmung unter Strafe gestellt? ...
