Zuerst mal hört sich "Bürgerarbeit" ganz gut an, zumindest deutlich besser als Workfare oder "Nur wer arbeitet, soll auch essen." - genau darauf läuft es aber hinaus, wie im Weiteren klar erkennbar wird. Zunächst mal wird der Bürgerarbeiter auch aus Steuergeldern bezahlt, ist per Definition unserer Regierungsparteien also noch immer ein Sozialschmarotzer - und das nicht nur mit 690 Millionen Euro von deutschen Steuerzahlern (damit kurioserweise auch von ALG II-Beziehern und späteren Bürgerarbeitern selbst, denn auch diese zahlen Steuern), sondern auch den Steuergeldern anderer EU-Staaten, denn dieses Projekt von Frau von der Leyen, das im Juli startete, wird mit 600 Millionen Euro von der EU bezuschusst, "gefördert" heißt das im Amtsdeutsch. Im Ergebnis sinken die Aufwendungen für ALG II um genau diesen Zuschuss. Eigentlich eine Politposse: Deutschland holt sich so einen Teil seiner EU-Mitgliedsbeiträge zurück. Lesen Sie weiter:

BP Hires Prison Labor to Clean Up Spill While Coastal Residents Struggle

By Abe Louise Young

Hiring prison labor is more than a way for BP to save money while cleaning up the biggest oil spill in history. By tapping into the inmate workforce, the company and its subcontractors get workers who are not only cheap but easily silenced-and they get lucrative tax write-offs in the process.

BP fails to put money in promised escrow account

Ken Feinberg, who was appointed to administer oil spill claims out of the escrow fund, has said he "hasn't been able to start writing claims checks" because BP PLC has failed to deposit any money into the $20 billion fund it promised to create.

Researchers Confirm Subsea Gulf Oil Plumes Are From BP Well

Sara Kennedy, McClatchy Newspapers: "Through a chemical fingerprinting process, University of South Florida researchers have definitively linked clouds of underwater oil in the northern Gulf of Mexico to BP's runaway Deepwater Horizon well - the first direct scientific link between the subsurface oil clouds commonly known as 'plumes' and the BP oil spill, USF officials said Friday."

Disabled Oil Rig Alarm Points to Human Failures in Gulf Oil Spill

Patrik Jonsson, The Christian Science Monitor: "As investigators probe the Deepwater Horizon oil rig accident, it's becoming clearer that human decisions regarding key safety equipment were part of the nation's largest oil spill. A disabled fire alarm and critical gas venting systems set to 'bypass' likely became part of a complex web of human errors that contributed to the Deepwater Horizon accident at the heart of the nation's worst oil spill."

Financial system instability is no accident. It's Central Bank policy. As financial institutions discover they can no longer count on organic growth in the real economy to increase profits, (because consumers are too strapped to spend freely) they will rely more heavily on dodgy accounting, bogus ratings, opaque debt-instruments, high-frequency trading and lax lending standards.

Federal Report Faults Banks on Huge Bonuses

By ERIC DASH

With the financial system on the verge of collapse in late 2008, a group of troubled banks doled out more than $2 billion in bonuses and other payments to their highest earners. Now, the federal authority on banker pay says that nearly 80 percent of that sum was unmerited.

Feinberg: Unfair to Ask Firms to Return Payouts

U.S. "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg on Friday declined to request 17 financial firms that doled out $1.6 billion in "ill advised" executive compensation to return the excessive payouts, saying to do so would be unfair to the companies and could trigger private lawsuits and additional Congressional investigation.

URGENT ALERT: WAL-MART TO BEGIN ITEM-LEVEL TAGGING CLOTHING WITH RFID YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! PLEASE JOIN US IN OPPOSING WAL-MART'S RFID PLANS

Today the Wall Street Journal broke an enormous story: Wal-Mart, the nation's largest retailer, has declared war on our privacy. The giant retailer has announced it will begin placing item-level RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tracking tags on clothing sold in its stores.

THIS IS HUGE NEWS. It is the first step to the planned roll-out of the Internet of Things, where global corporations like IBM, Procter & Gamble, and Wal-Mart's technology partner NCR plan to equip every product with a tracking device and use a network of RFID readers to monitor and observe YOU everywhere you go. It is the frightening world detailed in our book "Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Move with RFID," and it is finally coming to pass.

Unless we stop it, Wal-Mart's roll-out is scheduled to begin next month.

Here is the Wall Street Journal article: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704421304575383213061198090.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_LEFTTopStories

And here is a WSJ poll where you can make your views known (today only): http://online.wsj.com/community/groups/question-day-229/topics/do-you-have-privacy-concerns

As you know, RFID is a powerful tracking technology that raises unprecedented privacy concerns. Wal-Mart's plan does more than just threaten our privacy -- it is poised to become a direct threat to our freedom and civil liberties, as I will describe in future emails.

It is imperative that we immediately act to oppose Wal-Mart's RFID rollout. I have placed calls and given Wal-Mart an opportunity to respond, but as of this afternoon, Wal-Mart corporate executives and media representatives have not returned my calls.

In the meantime, we are formulating a response to Wal-Mart's plans that will protect consumers. I will keep you posted on this breaking story.

Wal-Mart plan to use smart tags raises privacy concerns

USA Today

07/29/10

Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) is putting electronic identification tags on men’s clothing like jeans starting Aug. 1 as the world’s largest retailer tries to gain more control of its inventory. But the move is raising eyebrows among privacy experts. The tags work by reflecting a weak radio signal to identify the product. They have long spurred privacy fears as well as visions of stores being able to scan an entire shopping cart of items at one time...
