Madang, Papua New Guinea's Mighty Ramu River Rainforests, Carbon and Peoples Threatened by Timber Mafia & Government Corruption

By Ecological Internet's Rainforest Portal with Rainforest Rescue

August 2, 2009

TAKE ACTION HERE NOW:
https://www.climateark.org/shared/alerts/send.aspx?id=png_redd_logging

Let the Papua New Guinea (PNG) government know it must follow its people's wishes and end industrial rainforest destruction once and for all. Support local landowners in Madang Province and nationwide working bravely to end primary forest logging and pursue REDD carbon monies and other means to benefit from standing rainforests. The government cannot corruptly pursue both continued industrial logging and oil palm, and still expect to receive carbon market REDD payments for intact rainforest protection.

Michael Winship, Truthout: "This week, the Center for Responsive Politics reported that in the second quarter of this year alone, the pharmaceuticals and health product industries spent $67,959,095 on lobbying, and the insurance industry $39,760,477. Another $25,552,088 was spent by lobbyists for hospitals and nursing homes. That's a total of $133,271,660 in just three months, and that's not even counting the lobbying money spent to fight health care reform by professional associations like the US Chamber of Commerce."

789.000 ALG II Leistungskürzungen im Jahre 2008

Laut einer kleinen Anfrage im Deutschen Bundestag durch die Fraktion "Die Linke" wurden im vergangenen Jahr rund 789.000 Leistungskürzungen bei Empfängern des Arbeitslosengeldes II vorgenommen. In etwa ein Viertel der Sanktionen (256.000 Fälle) waren die Betroffene unter 25 Jahre alt. In 533.000 waren die Betroffenen über 25 Jahre alt. In etwas mehr als der Hälfte der Leistungskürzungen (61 Prozent bei U25 und 51,6 Prozent bei Älteren) waren sogenannte "Meldeversäumnisse" dafür verantwortlich, dass die ALG II Leistungen gekürzt wurden.

An announced recovery

Ayn R. Key
by Ayn R. Key

07/31/09

The economy continues to decay, but people in various media and government outlets were cheering the fact that the economy only shrank by one percent in the prior quarter, unlike the over six percent shrinkage in previous quarters. That the economy continued to get worse is considered good news because it got less worse instead of more worse. Some, such as Bernanke, conclude that the economy will recover by the end of the year. Bernanke was saying the same thing back at the beginning of the year though, so the only real strong point he has is consistency. While unable to foresee the recession he sees that it will soon be over. Naturally anyone familiar with Austrian Economics can poke holes in the pronouncements of recovery...

The indispensable Amy Goodman has the scoop: The Seattle Port Militarization Resistance (SPMR) group Washington state thought that their listserv coordinator, who went by the name ‘John Jacob,’ was one of them: a dedicated antiwar activist and self-described anarchist. They trusted him, they put him in a key position, they befriended him — and then they found out that he was a government informant. His real name: John Towery …. He claimed to be a civilian employee at Washington state’s Ft. Lewis: in reality, he was and is a functionary of the force protection unit, i.e. military personnel. His job: spying on the antiwar movement...

Independent [UK]

07/30/09

Britain’s national security and the lives of its citizens will be put at risk if the High Court publishes its findings on what happened to former terror detainee Binyam Mohamed at the hands of the CIA. That was the effect of letters from the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and CIA officials, two judges were told in London yesterday. The letters warned that the US, even under the new Obama administration, will review its intelligence-sharing agreement with the UK if the court releases seven brief paragraphs about Mr Mohamed’s treatment into the public domain. They are central to the former Guantanamo Bay detainee’s claim that he was subjected to torture with the consent of UK authorities...
