[LAAMN] Scheer: Obama's Fatal Addiction, A silver lining to the Fukushima disaster?
From: Bill Totten Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2011 1:27 AM Subject: [R-G] [BillTottenWeblog] A silver lining to the Fukushima disaster? By Philip White The Japan Times (March 30 2011) The most remarkable thing about the response so far to the genpatsu shinsai (nuclear-earthquake disaster) that has engulfed Japan is that there are still people who think nuclear power has a future. Should this be attributed more to the dependence of modern industrialized societies on massive inputs of energy, or to a collective lack of imagination? We do not yet know how this unfolding catastrophe will end, but we can be sure that if most of the radioactivity in the Fukushima Number One nuclear power plant remains on site, then the true believers will claim that this is as bad as it gets and that the risk is worth taking. The environmental damage of localized contamination and releases to sea will be discounted and long-term health impacts from exposure to low levels of radiation will be denied. Even those workers who suffer from acute radiation sickness will not find their way into the most commonly quoted statistics, unless they die promptly. The truth is that even in the best-case scenario the environmental and human consequences of this disaster will be enormous. The potential impact of a worst-case scenario is beyond most peoples comprehension. To give an indication of the amount of radioactive material involved, the total capacity of the three reactors that were operating at the time of the earthquake was double that of the Chernobyl Number Four reactors that exploded 25 years ago in the Ukraine. To this you have to add the radioactivity in the spent fuel pools of all six units and of the shared spent fuel pool. All of this is at risk and, due to the long-term heat-generating properties of the fuel, the situation will not be stabilized any time soon. Even if the radioactivity does not travel far, the release of just a fraction would have incalculable consequences for human beings and the environment. Besides the true believers, there are also those who regard nuclear energy as a necessary evil. They dont particularly like it, but they see no alternative. But is it true that there is no alternative? For those who cant see beyond the current centralized, supply-driven electrical power systems and who assume an eternally increasing demand for energy, then perhaps it is difficult to imagine how modern societies could survive without nuclear power. But if you allow the possibility of decentralized systems that reward the efficient provision of energy services, rather than the supply of raw energy, then hitherto unimagined options open up. After last years oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and now the Fukushima Number One genpatsu shinsai, people must realize that business as usual is not an option. To claim that nuclear energy has a future represents a colossal failure of our collective imagination a failure to imagine the risks involved and a failure to imagine how we could do things differently. If future generations are to say that there was a silver lining to the cloud of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, it will be because human beings now looked beyond their recent history and chose to build a society that was not subject to catastrophic risks of human making. _ Philip White is the international liaison officer of the Tokyo-based Citizens Nuclear Information Center. http://search.japantimes.co.jp/rss/eo20110330a2.html?utm_source=feedburner http://search.japantimes.co.jp/rss/eo20110330a2.html?utm_source=feedburner; utm_medium=feedutm_campaign=Feed%3A+japantimes_news+%28The+Japan+Times+Head line+News+-+News+%26+Business%29utm_content=My+Yahoo utm_medium=feedutm_campaign=Feed%3A+japantimes_news+%28The+Japan+Times+Hea dline+News+-+News+%26+Business%29utm_content=My+Yahoo http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/obamas_fatal_addiction_20110329/ Truthdig Radio Hits the Airwaves The Internet can't contain us.

But the fact that General Electric, where Immelt is CEO, didnt pay taxes on its $14.5 billion profit last yearand indeed is asking for a $3.2 billion tax rebatehas not produced a word of criticism from the president, who in January praised Immelt as a business leader who understands what it takes for America to compete in the

U.S. companies in Cuba tied to top-secret
workhttp://cubamoneyproject.org/?p=1427
Filed under News http://cubamoneyproject.org/?category_name=news {no
comments http://cubamoneyproject.org/?p=1427#commentlist}
At least 37 U.S. companies that worked in Cuba from 2000 to 2009 are
involved in top-secret taxpayer-financed endeavors somewhere in the world,
Washington Post and FedSpending http://www.fedspending.org/ records show.
In July 2010, the Washington Post identified 1,931 companies that do
top-secret work on behalf of the U.S. government (See the Posts Top Secret
America http://projects.washingtonpost.com/top-secret-america/ database).
FedSpending records show that at least 37 of those firms also have been
contracted for jobs though not necessarily secret work in Cuba.
Records do not show precisely where all of the classified work was carried
out, but it appears that most or all took place as part of
multimillion-dollar upgrades to the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, or GITMO,
after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
In June 2010, the Post
reportedhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/06/AR2010060604093.htmlthat
U.S. officials had spent at least $500 million to transform what was
once a sun-beaten and forgotten Caribbean base into one of the most secure
military and prison installations in the world.
The Post said spending included:
- $249,000 for an abandoned volleyball court
- $296,000 for an unused go-kart track and
- $3.5 million for 27 playgrounds that are often vacant.
The total spent at Guantanamo could be nearly $2 billion, the Post reported.
The Cuba Money Project reported on March 14 that U.S. companies had
gotten nearly
$1 billion http://cubamoneyproject.org/?p=960 in U.S. contracts for work
in Cuba and detailed some of the costs.
The 37 companies involved in both Cuba and top-secret work somewhere in the
world include some familiar and not-so-familiar names:
1. CH2M Hill Companies
2. CACI International Inc.
3. Torres Advanced Enterprise Solutions Incorporated
4. Carahsoft Technology Corp.
5. Endeca Technologies Incorporated
6. Lockheed Martin Corp.
7. Dell Computer Corporation
8. dck Worldwide LLC
9. Xerox Corp.
10. Apptis
11. URS Corp.
12. IBM Corp.
13. Motorola, Inc.
14. Symantec Corporation
15. Integrated Security Technologies
16. BAE Systems, Inc.
17. GTSI
18. immixGroup
19. Transperfect
20. CALNET, Inc.
21. General Dynamics
22. Trusted Computer Solutions
23. L-3 Communications
24. Global Technology Resources Inc.
25. Blue Tech
26. Microsoft Corporation
27. Siemens
28. Quantum
29. Zel Technologies LL
30. Harris Corporation
31. Verizon
32. AINS, Inc.
33. Dataline Inc.
34. QinetiQ
35. Parsons Corporation
36. Aecom
37. Thales
Dana Priest and William M. Arkin led the team that carried out the Posts
two-year investigation. They said U.S. government agencies and private
contractors doing top-secret work amounted to a fourth-branch of
government that operated with little oversight. They wrote:
The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive
that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how
many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.

[LAAMN] Juan Cole: The Sleeping Giants of Tiny Bahrain, THE Spring Booksale, this Saturday at SCL
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/the_sleeping_giants_of_tiny_bahrain_2011 0328/ The Sleeping Giants of Tiny Bahrain By http://www.truthdig.com/juan_cole Juan Cole Truthdig: March 31, 2011 Risking the radicalization of Bahrain's Shiite community may be a very bad idea. Worries on that score are what led http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5i2k0XI6UcgoMVaWUG_RfqG9s jalw?docId=CNG.82fce0d1e069b2865b114176f57c0264.291 Vice President Joe Biden to ask again in a phone call Sunday to the king of the island nation for a negotiated settlement between the Sunni monarchy and his repressed Shiite majority. Meanwhile, as Iraqi Shiites demonstrated in favor of their coreligionists in Bahrain, Iraqi Prime Minister http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jlXpaOIsr71EoP2gugUf1aas W1Ew?docId=CNG.414d9a63a3c6d33db74e0e1648606e7d.141 Nouri al-Maliki warned somewhat apocalyptically this weekend that Saudi intervention against Bahrain's Shiites could ignite a sectarian war in the Persian Gulf region. Bahrain's protest movement, inspired by events in Tunisia and Egypt, began Feb. 14. The Bahraini crowds demanded the resignation of the prime minister, whom they accused of ordering severe and persistent human rights abuses. Khalifa Al Khalifa, the uncle of the king, has held the post since Bahrain became independent of Britain in 1971. The largely Shiite protesters, led by the Wifaq Party, also insisted that the constitution be altered to give more power to the Shiite majority, and that the country become a constitutional monarchy. Three small parties (including al-Haq, which had split from Wifaq), http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/08/us-bahrain-republic-idUSTRE7273FG 20110308 began calling in early March for an outright republic, and of course they frightened the Sunni monarchy and its Saudi backers most of all. After a month of rallies and protests at the Pearl Roundabout in downtown Manama, the beleaguered Bahraini monarchy brought in a thousand Saudi troops to disperse the protesters on March 14. The action drew a sharp rebuke from Iran, where Speaker of Parliament Ali Larijani warned that the Saudi invasion would not pass without a reaction from Tehran. The next day, emergency laws were imposed in Bahrain, including a ban on further large public rallies and a curfew. Manama, the capital, has gradually returned to a semblance of normality, but http://articles.latimes.com/2011/mar/25/world/la-fg-bahrain-protests-201103 26 Shiites in 12 small towns near the capital defied the state of emergency to stage protests last Friday. They were met with a harsh reaction from security police. Among the Middle East protest movements, that in tiny Bahrain is one of the more momentous. Manama hosts the headquarters of the U.S. 5th Fleet, which provides security to a region that has nearly two-thirds of the world's proven petroleum reserves. Bahrain has a citizen population of nearly 600,000 and about two-thirds of those are Shiite Muslims. The monarchy, which is close to being an absolute monarchy, is Sunni and has traditionally given the Shiites little respect. There are another 600,000 or so guest workers in Bahrain, probably a majority of them Sunni Muslims from India and Pakistan, though there are also substantial Hindu and Christian populations. Expatriate Sunnis are employed as police and in the army and security forces, and are sometimes given citizenship in a bid to offset the demographic weight of the Shiites. The current king, Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, came to power as emir in 1999 and declared himself monarch in 2002. He promulgated a constitution that created a toothless legislature. He appoints the 40 members of the upper house, while the 40 seats in the lower house are filled on the basis of elections. Electoral districts are gerrymandered, however, to prevent the Shiites from gaining their rightful majority there. In the current lower house, the Shiite Wifaq Party held 18 seats before its members resigned en masse after the crackdown in early March. The lower house can be overruled by the upper house, and the legislation of both can be struck down at will by the king, so the Shiite majority remains effectively powerless. Many of the http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/mar/03/bahrain-sunnis-shia-div ided-society discontents of Bahraini Shiites have to do with employment discrimination. They maintain that they are underrepresented in government jobs because of a regime preference for Sunnis. Many Shiites are from rural villages, and they find it difficult to compete for private-sector jobs with expatriate Sunnis, who often have skills and a knowledge of English that give them an edge with corporations. Most Shiite clerics in Bahrain reject the Iranian doctrine that clerics should rule, as a http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wikileaks-files/bahrain-wikileaks-cables/83 34568/THE-SHIA-CLERICAL-HIERARCHY-IN-BAHRAIN.html 2008 State Department cable released by WikiLeaks

Check the schedule!* The world is undergoing a new stage of class struggle. All the press we have followed the developments in dozens of countries from North Africa and the Middle East than from the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, has provoked popular uprisings that have overthrown governments and filled with hope the hearts of the toiling masses in all corners the world. Furthermore, we saw last year as European workers have risen in several countries with general strikes and mass demonstrations in the streets, fighting measures that lead workers to pay for the crisis. This year European workers remain mobilized: the Greeks have made more than a general strike and massive demonstrations took place in Portugal and England. As if this were not enough, the U.S. itself, more precisely the state of Wisconsin, Madison in the capital, workers rose up against the governor who wants to impose anti-union laws. Thousands take to the streets and occupy the Legislative Assembly of Wisconsin compared the governor to former Egyptian dictator Mubarak. To discuss and better understand the situation, the *Publisher and Bookstore Marxist* http://www.livrariamarxista.com.br/ invited the writer and Marxist theoretician Alan Woods, who will travel to Brazil specifically to conference with the theme: *The Revolution of the Arab Peoples and the World Capitalist Crisis* . The tour of Alan in Brazil will have a meeting at the factory occupied Flaskô in Sumaré-SP (Campinas) and a conference in Sao Paulo called by the CUT-SP, SP Chemical Workers Union and Union of glassware SP. In the Rio de Janeiro, the activity will be at the Union of Oil of RJ. In addition, Alan will speak at universities such as USP, UFSC and UFPE. At the end of last year, Alan was in Havana where he spoke about the global capitalist crisis in a seminar organized by the Cuban Communist Party. Now he is on a tour of Latin America by exposing their analysis in public conferences. Last week, Bolivia, over 800 people attended (over 500 people in Sucre and about 300 people in Santa Cruz de la Sierra). At the time of this writing Alan is doing the same in Argentina. Alan Woods has over 50 years of communist militancy in Europe, has published numerous books in over 10 languages, is editor of In Defense of Marxism (In Defense of Marxism - *www.marxist.com* http://www.marxist.com/ ) that has the higher content of political analysis on the Internet on the crisis of capital that began in 2007/2008 and the revolution of the Arab people that started this year.

Throughout his life, César inspired millions of people – from the fields and in the cities-- to commit themselves to the fight for social, economic, and civil rights. When he was once asked by a union member how he wanted to be remembered, Chávez replied, “If you want to remember me, organize!” César knew as you and I do--there is still much to be done. The struggle for a contract with Giumarra (one of the largest producers of table grapes ), injustice in the wrongful death of farm worker Maria Isavel Vasquez Jimenez, and the continuing legislative attacks on immigrants, unions and the poor remind us of the challenges we face this very moment. So today, we’re remembering César the way he wished us to--organizing everyone we know. Will you join us by donating your Facebook status in honor of César today? It’s easy. Click here to ‘donate’ your Facebook status to César in honor of his March 31st birthday. Today, ten states will officially observe César Chávez’ birthday but by the end of the day, our goal is to spread César’s message to millions of people around the world through Facebook. Sound impossible? “Sí Se Puede!” Just imagine if all of us donated our Facebook status, and we each had 10 friends (though, I suspect you all have many more than that!) and just one of our friends chose to join in… Together we can make sure millions continue to be inspired by César’s fight for the rights and dignity of all people. But it starts with you – can we count you in? Honor César’s legacy today. Share his fight for the fair treatment for farm workers, fair labor contracts, and respect in their communities.
