Kampf um das Korn von morgen

In bevölkerungsreichen Ländern werden die Anbauflächen für Nahrungsmittel knapp, zudem soll Biosprit künftig den Treibstoffbedarf der Welt zumindest teilweise decken. Deshalb versuchen manche Staaten, Land in Entwicklungsländern zu kaufen oder zu pachten, um dort die gewünschten Pflanzen für den Eigenverbrauch anbauen zu können.

Ärger um Biogasanlage
Kalter Krieg in Ostfriesland

Ein Bauer in Ostfriesland bringt ein ganzes Dorf gegen sich auf - weil er eine Biogasanlage bauen möchte. Kollegen sorgen sich um die Bodenpreise, Nachbarn fürchten Gestank, Naturschützer warnen vor Umweltschäden. Das Problem: Mit Energiepflanzen lässt sich mehr Geld verdienen als mit Milch.

One of the Bush administration’s most pernicious legacies is the never-ending War on Terrorism, a perpetual state of emergency that supposedly authorizes the president to break the law, abridge civil liberties, and ignore due process, all under a cloak of secrecy.

Is Dick Cheney unpatriotic?

Independent Institute
by Ivan Eland

01/06/10

Former Vice President Dick Cheney has been railing against President Barack Obama for being weak-kneed on terrorism and failing to interdict the BVD bomber’s recent attempt to blow up a plane. Cheney seems to want us to put aside his own administration’s abysmal record on the subject — ignoring warnings and failing to prevent the most deadly foreign attack on U.S. soil in American history, failing to prevent the similar shoe bomber’s attempt to bring down an aircraft, and using 9/11 to launch invasions of Muslim countries that led to an increase in terrorist attacks worldwide — and thus tries to make us believe Republicans are better at countering terrorism than Democrats because, well, they’re Republicans...

Center for a Stateless Society
by Kevin Carson

01/06/10

As Matt Yglesias has argued, every Al Qaeda attack via the civil aviation system — even the failed ones — leads to new security measures that impose additional real costs on air travel and the sectors of the American economy dependent on it. Richard Reid tried to smuggle a bomb in his shoe, and everyone now has to take their shoes off before boarding. Someone was rumored to be planning an attack with liquid explosives, so now everyone’s searched for shampoo bottles. If Al Qaeda were really smart, they’d have somebody smuggle a bomb in their rectum; the resulting TSA policy of rectal searches for everybody would shut down the entire airline industry and throw the U.S. the rest of the way into a Great Depression. Every time the U.S. national security state reacts to another terrorist incident, you can almost hear Bin Laden and his cronies giggling in a cave somewhere: ‘Look! They’re doing it! The stupid schmucks are doing it! Hee hee hee!’...

The Weird Factor

AntiWar.Com
by Justin Raimdondo

01/11/10

The Weird Factor seems to intensify whenever there is some significant event in our ongoing ‘war on terrorism,’ or whatever they’re calling it these days. My longtime readers will be familiar with my theory of how this works. Briefly: on Sept. 11, 2001, the impact of those airliners as they hit the Twin Towers sent us careening into an alternative dimension where up is down, right is left, and torture is the American Way — in short we landed in Bizarro World, where we have been trapped ever since. The post-9/11 cognitive shift that heralded our entry into this alternate dimension is amplified around these incidents, and certainly the most recent — the midair antics of the Undie Bomber — underscores the Weird Factor at its absolute weirdest...

The U.S. government is broke. Nevertheless, Washington is currently fighting two wars: one is ebbing while the other is expanding. How to pay for the Afghan build up? Democrats say raise taxes. Republicans say no worries. The best policy would be to scale back America’s international commitments. The United States will spend more than $700 billion on the military in 2010. The administration’s initial defense-budget proposal, minus the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, was $534 billion, almost as much as total military spending by the rest of the world. Even though the Iraq war is winding down, its costs will persist for years as the government cares for thousands of seriously injured veterans...

No exit

The American Conservative
by Andrew J. Bacevich

Since 1945, the United States military has devoted itself to the proposition that, Hiroshima notwithstanding, war still works — that, despite the advent of nuclear weapons, organized violence directed by a professional military elite remains politically purposeful. From the time U.S. forces entered Korea in 1950 to the time they entered Iraq in 2003, the officer corps attempted repeatedly to demonstrate the validity of this hypothesis. The results have been disappointing. Where U.S. forces have satisfied Max Boot’s criteria for winning, the enemy has tended to be, shall we say, less than ten feet tall... (for publication 02/01/10)

Congress recently raised the debt ceiling by $290 billion in order to close out 2009 — but it almost wasn’t enough.

There is ‘just’ $140 billion left until the debt ceiling must be extended yet again...

Hashmi is a U.S. citizen but his government has violated every right guaranteed to him by the Constitution. The U.S. government, in violation of U.S. law, is also subjecting Hashmi to psychological torture known as extreme sensory deprivation. The bogus ‘evidence” against him is classified and denied to him. Like Joseph K. in Kafka’s The Trial, Hashmi is under arrest on secret evidence. As the case against him is unknown or non-existent, defense is impossible. Hashmi’s rights have been abrogated by his government with the allegation that he is a potential terrorist or perhaps just a terrorist sympathizer...

In light of America’s spontaneous discovery of the existence of Yemen on Christmas Day, it may make political sense to argue that Guantanamo detainees repatriated there will turn to terrorism. But it makes no more legal sense than their original incarceration did. The idea that we would hold onto these men based solely on a foiled terror plot connected to their country of origin shows how little factual accuracy matters when it comes to Guantanamo. A reminder: Despite Donald Rumsfeld’s famous assertion that the folks at Guantanamo represented the ‘worst of the worst,’ we know that the majority of the prisoners at the camp were largely just unlucky...
