Parenting with a Taser … the police way

Tasing a disobedient 10-year-old must be a welcomed relief from dealing with real criminals — you know the violent adults who rape and rob and might be actually dangerous. Bradshaw claims the child, inresisting arrest, kicked him in the groin and, so, presumably was a threat to him. (Yet I note he got permission to tase the girl before he tried to haul her off to jail.) With greater PR savvy, the police chief stated that tasing the girl was for her own good to keep her ‘from hurting herself.’ Yep … being jolted with a blast electricity that has caused heart attacks in adults, being arrested and thrown into juvie detention while facing court charges are all in a young child’s best interests. If she didn’t have psychological problems before, she certainly will have them now. Of course, if the mother herself had tased the girl, she would be in jail on child endangerment or abuse charges … and properly so...

„Eine Studie der Commerzbank versucht das schier Unfassbare mit einer Zahl greifbar zu machen: Die Kosten der weltweiten Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise taxiert das Institut auf 10,5 Billionen Dollar (7,3 Billionen Euro) bis Ende des Jahres. Das wären 1 500 Euro pro Erdenbürger. Auch für Deutschland errechneten die Volkswirte die Verluste durch die Finanzkrise�“ Artikel im Handelsblatt vom 29.08.2009 https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/nachrichten/finanzkrise-kostet-ueber-10-billionen-dollar;2450612



Der Süden zahlt die Zeche. Die Finanzkrise trifft die armen Länder mit voller Wucht

„Bei Prognosen über den Verlauf der globalen Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise ist Vorsicht angesagt. Doch eines ist zweifelsfrei: Die Armen in den Ländern des Südens werden die hauptsächlichen VerliererInnen sein. Kein soziales Sicherungsnetz wird die Folgen für den Einzelnen abfedern, kein Konjunkturprogramm die Wirtschaft ankurbeln…“ Artikel von Martin Ling in ak - analyse & kritik - zeitung für linke Debatte und Praxis vom 21.8.2009 https://www.akweb.de/ak_s/ak541/24.htm

If anyone ever tells you that they don’t understand what is meant by ’stenography journalism’ — or ever insists that America is plagued by a Liberal Media — you can show them this article from today’s Washington Post and, by itself, it should clear up everything. The article’s headline is ‘How a Detainee Became An Asset — Sept. 11 Plotter Cooperated After Waterboarding’ — though an equally appropriate headline would be: ‘The Joys and Virtues of Torture — how Dick Cheney Kept Us Safe.’ I defy anyone to identify a single way the article would be different if The Post had let Dick Cheney write it himself. The next time someone laments the economic collapse of the modern American newspaper, one might point out that an industry which pays three separate reporters (Peter Finn, Joby Warrick and Julie Tate) and numerous editors to churn out mindless, inane tripe like this has brought about its own demise...

Jeremy Scahill, The Nation: "Blackwater, the private mercenary company owned by Erik Prince, has been thrust back into the spotlight by a series of stunning revelations about its role in covert US programs. Since at least 2002, Blackwater has worked for the CIA in Afghanistan and Pakistan on 'black' contracts. On August 19, The New York Times revealed that the company was, in fact, a central part of a secret CIA assassination program that Dick Cheney allegedly ordered concealed from Congress."

Change.... What Change? Bush's Search Policy For Travelers Is Kept

The Obama administration will largely preserve Bush-era procedures allowing the government to search -- without suspicion of wrongdoing -- the contents of a traveler's laptop computer, cellphone or other electronic device, although officials said new policies would expand oversight of such inspections.
