Haiti: The Unforgiven Country Cries Out

The Unforgiven Country Cries Out By Chris Floyd January 13, 2010 --- http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24393.htm Via Mark Crispin Miller, the Center for Constitutional Rights points to some venues for getting help to the people of Haiti: Partners in Health and the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund. You can find several more in this listing from the New York Times. I. The relentlessly maintained, deliberately inflicted political and economic ruin of Haiti has a direct bearing on the amount of death and devastation that the country is suffering today after the earthquake. It will also greatly cripple any recovery from this natural disaster. As detailed below, Washington's rapacious economic policies have destroyed all attempts to build a sustainable economy in Haiti, driving people off the land and from small communities into packed, dangerous, unhealthy shantytowns, to try to eke out a meager existence in the sweatshops owned by Western elites and their local cronies. All attempts at changing a manifestly unjust society have been ruthlessly suppressed by the direct or collateral hand of Western elites. The result? Millions of people -- weakened by hunger, deprivation, malnutrition, disease -- living jammed together in precarious, substandard housing. A lack of the physical, financial and civic infrastructure needed to support a decent life in ordinary times -- and to provide proper assistance, and a strong framework for rebuilding, when disaster strikes. Even a far lesser earthquake than the one that struck this week would have caused an unconscionable amount of unnecessary suffering in a nation that has been as ruthlessly and deliberately throttled as Haiti.

Still I have not found anybody who should have my vote to be major of København. That is why I use my democratic rights and participate in the kommunal election as a candidate for Christiania-Listen.
Politics need new brains the system got stuck in itself. I certainly believe that people can make a difference.
That is why, if you live in København Kommune and you recieved a VALGKORT to participate in the election on the 17th november, your vote should go to CHRISTIANIA-LISTEN

The US War against Iraq The Destruction of a Civilization By James Petras August 21, 2009 "Information Clearing House" -- The US seven-year war and occupation of Iraq is driven by several major political forces and informed by a variety of imperial interests. However these interests do not in themselves explain the depth and scope of the sustained, massive and continuing destruction of an entire society and its reduction to a permanent state of war. The range of political forces contributing to the making of the war and the subsequent US occupation include the following (in order of importance): The most important political force was also the least openly discussed. The Zionist Power Configuration (ZPC), which includes the prominent role of long-time, hard-line unconditional Jewish supporters of the State of Israel appointed to top positions in the Bush Pentagon

And the answer is???

After a lot of common meetings about how to handle the treaty that was presented by the SES Christiania gave the answer. In spite to the hard time of negotiation the parts involved could not find a final agreement to get a clear yes or no. There are to many loose ends to be solved before the Christianians can get a consent positive answer to the treaty.
The published document from Christiania starts with an invitation to continue negotiations about the unsolved problems. This is not in the agenda of the SES, was the comment by the director C. Jarlov. He wants to see the Christiania case in the court now.
Some Christianians are eager to avoid this solution while others really look forward to get the process about the collective right for the Christiania area going.
The wish for a political solution seems to be nothing but a vision as the Minister of Finance interpreted Christianias answer as a plain NO. Some of the parties presented in the Parliament showed an absolute more positive reaction to the answer.
It is not surprising that the daily press reacts with negative comments that tear Christianias answer down. How can someone possibly say no to a so called present of many millions.

Christianias preferred brew

no_email@example.com (Karsten)

The second of June the new label for the organic beer witch is the favourite pilsner beer among Christianians was presented with a little event in front of the local grocery store.
The brew-master and sponsor for the label, Peter Klemensen attended the happening that was entertained by Helga Nova and the Ponticelli band.
To the tunes of their shortly released Cd in the background Peter Klemensen uncovered the reason for the improved taste in this brew to the interested spectators.
Some of the more enthusiastic beer consumers could figure a small difference to the their normal organic Thy pilsner.
But as the brew-master expected people had only positive critics to this minor change of his recipe.
The 450 samples that were distributes to the bypassing and participants did not last that long in the heat of this sunny afternoon in Christiania.

Christianias future - countdown is ticking

no_email@example.com (Karsten)

The future of Christiania is laying in the hands of the inhabitants as it is. Never since the struggle about the Christiania area begun has the situation been that tense in the little village in the center of Copenhagen.
After being offered the possibility to run the Freetown as a fund financed through a donation of the Real Dania fund the former unity got split into yes and no groups. Certainly the purpose is the same, the preservation of Christiania as it is with its own infrastructure and the consent way of decision making. This most certainly does not mean to turn it into a museum for the aging hippie -generation that once created the place.
The original dynamic of Christianias growth and prosperity had been set to halt since part of the law about Christiania were effected and the administration of the area was given to the SES ( the Palaces and Properties Agency, a part of the Ministry of Finance). This governmental department follows the plan they presented some years ago. This means any creative building activity can only happen with their permission.
According to this plan Christiania is divided into three areas. This point alone has already lead to various discussions in the community.
But then how far did the entire process about the future of Christiania moved this far. The anarchistic conservative part of the population still lay their trust into the legal system awaiting the the case coming at the High court by the end of this year. Others started to investigate the possibility of the fund persuaded by the possibilities that this option is giving for the best possible preservation of Christiania.
