About one result of the election the Germans and the world should be concerned...
The fascist National Democratic, harrharr..., Party of Germany, NPD, was in the East of Germany able to stabilize the number of their permanent voters. For example in the Southeast federal state of Saxonia, Sachsen, they got all together around 5 percent of the votes, in some regions more than 10 percent. Last year in the state, province, parliament there it was nearly the same. But even in Berlin, in several voting districts in the Eastern part, behind the Left party, Linke, Social Democrats, SPD, and the Christian, once again I have nothing to do with them, Democratic party, CDU, they were elected as the 4th strongest party. And in at least two districts in East Berlin, in Marzahn.Hellersdorf and Treptow.Koepenick behind SPD and Linke they got the 3rd place. Fascists like NPD and the with them connected so-called Free Brotherhoods, Freie Kameradschaften, want to reconstruct a national-socialist society, dictatorship. They want to drive out all migrants from German soil... Fascists like them are responsible for at least 134 murdered migrants, foreigners, disabled, homeless or just people were wearing punk or just alternative fashion since the fall of the Berlin Wall, 15 years ago. The only consequence should be after this result: Rebuilding the wall, at least 5 meters high, and putting billions of tons of concrete in!! And this would create at least thousands of work places in the West, at least for some years!!Opportunism persists opportunism
One very famous so-called left group, actually the most of the activists dislike them, LINKSRUCK, engl. Left yank, was calling the entire time before the election for voting boycott, even many of their members, especially in West Germany, are members in the Left party. But just three days before the election they begun a campaign to call to vote for the Left party. In the 90s the groups who founded later LINKSRUCK did the same. At first they called for boycott of the election and in the last minutes before the elections they called for voting for the Social Democrats. Later we made a research and we found out that they got money from the SPD. LINKSRUCK is, or must be a sister organization of a well-known Trotskyist organisation here, aeh... I mean at home... Still I am in exile...! They are organized in the same intl. org. and they have the same theoretical background. Even the pickets are looking the same... And the behavior, such as bringing dozens or hundreds of pickets to demonstrations and giving them to other people who have nothing to do with them, is the same. Guess which org. at home I mean... Yo, just a strange world it is! PS: When I said, some days ago, voting boycott I dont mean just staying away. At least here in Germany it is possible to make a so-called active boycott. It means that you go to vote, but you are voting null, invalid. You can just cross the ballot paper, or write on it whatever you think about this b.. sh.., or you just tear it and put it in the ballot box. And so it becomes an invalid vote and no party can use it anymore. Thats it!A GREAT ENTERTAINMENT...
...but just for the audience on the TV in the election night, and of course... WITHOUT ANY POSITIVE RESULTS FOR THE EXPLOITED AND OPPRESSED! All political partys, no matter if the lost or won the parliamentarian, general elections yesterday, are saying now IT IS A VOTE FOR US! Mrs. Merkel, the chancellor candidate of the Christian Democratic Union, CDU, in the early evening after the polling, and not really happy: What is important now is to form a stable government, and we... quite clearly have the mandate to do that. At that time the CDU got 35.3 per cent. A short while later the present chancellor G. Schroeder from the Social Democrat party, SPD: I feel myself vindicated. I have a mandate to ensure that in the next 4 years there will be a stable government... under my leadership. At that time the SPD got 34.2 per cent. Later in the following TV discussion between the party chiefs of the SPD, the Greens and the Left party on the one side, and the CDU, the Christian, I have nothing to do with them, please believe me!!!, Social Union and the Free Democratic Party on the other side, Schroeder, SPD, became complete crazy. He said: I am the chancellor and I will be the next chancellor and I will form the next government, of course under my leadership. Perhaps he took before LSD, Cocaine or speed, no one knows... And Mrs Merkel, the CDU candidate was behaving like a beaten dog, even her party was at that time the winner... The Left party got 8.6 per cent. But what is now the meaning of this result... First of all the most of the so-called ordinary people were not able to choose between pestilence and cholera! Ha, what a surprise...! CDU will increase the social, aeh... anti-social, looting and the SPD already started it at least on the end of last year. And what is with the Left party... A left German daily, Junge Welt, wrote last Saturday: After 50 years there is the possibility that a left party comes in the parliament based on a strong non-parliamentarian movement. But they are cheating themselves, because there is no such a movement. Except you call the every Monday demonstrations against social cuts with about 150 people a movement... So finally on the end in some weeks or months SPD and CDU will form a so-called Grand Coalition, GC. But this kind of coalition is even not in the interest of the capitalist class. The president of the Federal Union of the German Industry: From the point of view of the German industry and economy I have to say we are bitter disappointed. Another so-called leading German capitalist: Now we just need a government what will start reforms ... and please not a GC! The majority of the capitalist class: A GC means stagnation for Germany. But what we need is a tax reform, reform of the social systems... and a flexible labor market! You can call it IRREGULAR WORK! But of course a GC, if it comes to the reality, will do it best. Lower taxes for the capitalists, more cuts in the social systems and more irregular jobs... this the CDU will do. And the SPD will keep calm the workers, the exploited and the people, no one needs anymore... But even this there will be not really capitalist development anymore, not really. And so the political, economic and social system will die slowly and painful, especially for the ordinary, the poor people, without any alternative for our future... ...IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DREATE A SELF-ORGANIZED, REALLY PROGRESSIVE; NEW ALTERNATIVE TO THIS SYSTEM OF EXLPOITATION AND OPPRESSION. It will be continued....So, yesterday I was on the rally in Berlin for to show solidarity with the victims of the nature and political catastrophe in the Southeast of the U.S. Only few people joined the rally which was held in the near of the U.S. embassy. But actually it was not the fault of the organizers – they just had 3 days time to inform the people.
Anyway, one speech of a Afro-american citizen from Detroit was very impressive. He life in Germany since long time, before this, in the 60s he was serving the U.S. Army in Germany and after that he was sent to Vietnam. Now he’s active in the anti-war and social movement in Germany.
I recorded and typed the speech. And here it comes (everything in parenthesis comes from me):
Dear Friends
I’m personally effected by this tragedy. My 93 year old cousin, Mrs. Odille Kenner Williams, was just recently rescued from a nursing home there. I have a multitude of relatives in New Orleans and neighboring communities.
My entire family comes from Louisiana. My father and mother came North during the Second World War to seek work in Detroit and escape the vicious system of racism which was everyday experience of Black people living there (in the Southeast) as direct descendants of slaves. My grandmother was a slave. That may come as a shock to some of you, but I’m that close to the history of institutional slavery in America. Millions of Black during and after WW II migrated to other parts of the U.S. with the one thing in the mind: freedom. Yes, while people were fighting against the Axis Powers (the German, Italian and Japanese fascists, militarists) here in Europe and elsewhere Black people in America were fighting for the right to Human dignity and real freedom (– and they’re still fighting for it).
My mother often told my brother and me that she didn’t want us to grow up in that environment of intimidation, racism and lynch justice. There were no more than refugees, strangers in their own country of birth. So she left her family and started a new life in Detroit, 1700 Kilometers away from the place called home. Torn from family and friends.
What we see happening in Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia is symptomatic of what’s wrong with America. When the authorities ordered the population to evacuate New Orleans they made no preparations to evacuate those who could not respond to the call. The poor, the sick, the imprisoned, the less fortunate.
Many of there victims living below the poverty level, whatever that means. The overwhelming majority of there people in this situation are Black. They were deserted, left to fend for themselves. Lied to by the people who were supposed to assist them in times of danger and emergency.
The U.S. has a history of oppression and disregard for people’s human rights and up until now they’ve been able to maneuver and more less hide their treachery. Abu Ghraeeb (the infamous prison in Iraq) is not unique.
These pictures of people’s suffering don’t lie! They lay bare the hypocrisy of the system built on exploitation of the world and ist own citizens. They have no shame! The U.S. is the UNITED STATES OF SHAME!
People here (in Germany) ask, “What we can do?”. Donate... Find out what’s really goes on! DEMAND YOUT GOVERNMENT STOP SUPPERTING THE CRIMINAL UNDERTAKINGS OF THE BUSH REGIME! Stop this insane war on the Iraqi people!
[Right now people are preparing to vote (in Germany), thinking that will somehow changes their lives. The real issues are being ignored. The Chancellor likes to pass himself and his party off as the peace party that couldn’t further from the truth. They speak with a forked tongue! They have blood on their hands too, they support the war by giving the USA back door support. The U.S. conducts many of its military adventures from German soil.]
...
Some may ask what do that have to do with the present situation in America and the people’s suffering. A great deal. Billions of Dollars and valuable resources have been wasted on this terrible war (on Iraq), money and resources that could have helped those people in need right now. The government is already crying about not having any idea about how they’re going to pay for all this.
When you wage war you don t worry about the costs because you count yourself as the winner, and “to the victor goes the spoils”.
They ve miscalculated at every turn and we, all of us have to suffer.
Freedom, we re only free to follow their orders and plans (or not!). Nothing more nothing less!
United States of Shame
by Maureen Dowd, 2005, Sept. 3, NYT
Stuff happens.
And when you combine limited government with incompetent government, lethal stuff happens.
America is once more plunged into a snake pit of anarchy, death, looting, raping, marauding thugs, suffering innocents, a shattered infrastructure, a gutted police force, insufficient troop levels and criminally negligent government planning. But this time it's happening in America.
W. drove his budget-cutting Chevy to the levee, and it wasn't dry. Bye, bye, American lives. "I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees," he told Diane Sawyer.
Shirt-sleeves rolled up, W. finally landed in Hell yesterday and chuckled about his wild boozing days in "the great city" of N'Awlins. He was clearly moved. "You know, I'm going to fly out of here in a minute," he said on the runway at the New Orleans International Airport, "but I want you to know that I'm not going to forget what I've seen." Out of the cameras' range, and avoided by W., was a convoy of thousands of sick and dying people, some sprawled on the floor or dumped on baggage carousels at a makeshift M*A*S*H unit inside the terminal.
Why does this self-styled "can do" president always lapse into such lame "who could have known?" excuses.
Who on earth could have known that Osama bin Laden wanted to attack us by flying planes into buildings? Any official who bothered to read the trellis of pre-9/11 intelligence briefs.
Who on earth could have known that an American invasion of Iraq would spawn a brutal insurgency, terrorist recruiting boom and possible civil war? Any official who bothered to read the C.I.A.'s prewar reports.
Who on earth could have known that New Orleans's sinking levees were at risk from a strong hurricane? Anybody who bothered to read the endless warnings over the years about the Big Easy's uneasy fishbowl.
In June 2004, Walter Maestri, emergency management chief for Jefferson Parish, fretted to The Times-Picayune in New Orleans: "It appears that the money has been moved in the president's budget to handle homeland security and the war in Iraq, and I suppose that's the price we pay. Nobody locally is happy that the levees can't be finished, and we are doing everything we can to make the case that this is a security issue for us."
Not only was the money depleted by the Bush folly in Iraq; 30 percent of the National Guard and about half its equipment are in Iraq.
Ron Fournier of The Associated Press reported that the Army Corps of Engineers asked for $105 million for hurricane and flood programs in New Orleans last year. The White House carved it to about $40 million. But President Bush and Congress agreed to a $286.4 billion pork-filled highway bill with 6,000 pet projects, including a $231 million bridge for a small, uninhabited Alaskan island.
Just last year, Federal Emergency Management Agency officials practiced how they would respond to a fake hurricane that caused floods and stranded New Orleans residents. Imagine the feeble FEMA's response to Katrina if they had not prepared.
Michael Brown, the blithering idiot in charge of FEMA - a job he trained for by running something called the International Arabian Horse Association - admitted he didn't know until Thursday that there were 15,000 desperate, dehydrated, hungry, angry, dying victims of Katrina in the New Orleans Convention Center.
Was he sacked instantly? No, our tone-deaf president hailed him in Mobile, Ala., yesterday: "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."
It would be one thing if President Bush and his inner circle - Dick Cheney was vacationing in Wyoming; Condi Rice was shoe shopping at Ferragamo's on Fifth Avenue and attended "Spamalot" before bloggers chased her back to Washington; and Andy Card was off in Maine - lacked empathy but could get the job done. But it is a chilling lack of empathy combined with a stunning lack of efficiency that could make this administration implode.
When the president and vice president rashly shook off our allies and our respect for international law to pursue a war built on lies, when they sanctioned torture, they shook the faith of the world in American ideals.
When they were deaf for so long to the horrific misery and cries for help of the victims in New Orleans - most of them poor and black, like those stuck at the back of the evacuation line yesterday while 700 guests and employees of the Hyatt Hotel were bused out first - they shook the faith of all Americans in American ideals. And made us ashamed.
Who are we if we can't take care of our own?
Today G. W. (Double U - what the U’s are standing for? Uneducated? Underexposed?) Bush is visiting Germany after the “world ruler” held court in Brussels (NATO headquarter/EU center). Everyone who wanted to meet him, like the French president, had to come to there. Tomorrow after the short visit in Germany he will fly to Bratislava/Slovakia, where he will meet the Russian president Putin. By the way, it’s just a humiliation for Putin. In the German city Mainz, not far away from Frankfurt/Main, the chancellor Schroeder at the time is meeting with his American guest. Since the early morning hours nothing is going anymore in the region between the cities Frankfurt, Wiesbaden and Mainz, one of the main busy areas in the western part of Germany. Nearly all highways (Autobahnen) are closed. The river Rhine is closed for the ship traffic. In Frankfurt there is the main airport in Germany and the second large in Europe many flights (estimated more than 100 flights) are cancelled. The train traffic is also massive affected. The Opel’s (GM) main car factory in Ruesselsheim, like many other factories in the region, must close today, because the workers can’t reach their work places. In Mainz itself, the entire inner city is closed area. Nearly all shops and department stores are closed, schools too. The people who are living there are not allowed to open the windows, to use their balconies and “of course” all traffic private and public is banned. And also (of course) all demonstrations against the Bush’s policy are banned from the inner city. And who will pay the enormous costs for that? Of course neither Bush nor Schroeder will pay from their own pockets the German ordinary tax payers have to pay for this massive intervention in their “freedom”. This is just DEMOCRACY IN ACTION! Thanx a lot for this lesson! We will know to learn from it! Last news: in Mainz right now about 15.000 people are protesting against Bush (according to indymedia Germany, 02.23, 6:23pm, MET).
