Wer betrügt, fliegt nach Davos
Die Eliten aus Wirtschaft und Politik haben die Krise nicht verstanden, verachten die Demokratie und leben in einer Parallelgesellschaft. Der damalige SPD-Kanzler Gerhard Schröder feierte einst in Davos, dass Deutschland den besten Niedriglohnsektor Europas geschaffen habe. Die Rechnung bezahlen Arbeitnehmer und Steuerzahler mit Niedriglöhnen und Euro-Krise. Und der einstige Bundesbank-Präsident und ehemalige Aufsichtsrat der Hypo Real Estate (HRE), Hans Tietmeyer, verkündete den Staats- und Regierungschefs in Davos, sie alle stünden nun unter der Kontrolle der Finanzmärkte, was diese mit besoffenem Applaus dankten.
Es ist daher nur konsequent, dass Bundesfinanzminister Wolfgang Schäuble am Weltwirtschaftsforum teilnimmt.

Setting the record straight on ‘the cause of pause in global warming’
Last week in my post ‘‘The cause of pause in global warming,” I presented data showing that the lack of global warming was not the ‘biggest mystery in climate science,’ “but, in fact, it really isn’t a mystery at all, it was predicted in 1999 on the basis of consistent, recurring patterns of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and global climate.” This precipitated an avalanche of caustic comments by Bob Tisdale, almost all of which were totally irrelevant to what I said. This post is to set the record straight so there is no misunderstanding of the situation.

MLK, Spying, and the “Urgency of the Moment”
Last week, Martin Luther King, Jr. would have celebrated his 85th birthday in an America that, in myriad ways, is a freer, fairer, and more just nation than the one he knew. Today, we pause to remember the man for daring to dream of equality of personhood and opportunity; for having the courage to transform what he called “the jangling discord of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood”; and — as President Obama put it so lyrically last year — for giving a “mighty voice to the quiet hopes of millions” and offering a “salvation path for oppressed and oppressors alike.”
Dianne Feinstein: NSA Would Never Abuse Its Powers Because It‘s ‚Professional‘
Senator Dianne Feinstein, as we‘ve noted, seems to have this weird blindness to even the very idea that the NSA might abuse its powers, despite a long history of it doing exactly that. The history of the US intelligence community is littered like a junk yard with examples of massive abuses of power by intelligence folks. And yet, Feinstein seems shocked at the idea that anyone questions the NSA‘s ability to abuse the system. Why? Because the NSA is „professional.“ Appearing on Meet the Press this weekend, Feinstein just kept repeating how „professional“ the NSA is as if that was some sort of talisman that wards off any potential of abuse.
