ie D Roman Catholic Church is a hierarchical two-class society. All women and all lay people are in a way infantry and have absolutely no authority in matters of faith a say. Them, about 1.2 billion Ratzi-imitators are the pariah of the Vatican. They may do good, "Yes and Amen" to pay membership fees and donations, and what commands to them.
There is also the ruling class of some 400,000 clergy, which is further divided strictly hierarchical. The head of the whole, the Pontifex Maximus, is God's deputy and has absolute power over his camera. It is the government, parliament and supreme judge in one person. Executive, legislative and judicial branches are all the Pope. JR must not worry about his re-election and may therefore want to be free from consideration of his infantry and exercise as he wants.
Like ticks a triple-head, one can well see from his personnel decisions. The current Bishop of Rome, for example, loves pretty radical. His kindness to the Pius sect and each right-wing anti-Semitic people, as Philippe Laguérie this point abundantly clear.
In the RCC, there are many victims Ratzinger. happy Panzer Cardinal as he lowered his thumb and systematically hunted them the moral integrity theologians.
The most famous is certainly Leonardo Boff (born 1938), the calculated in the continent, where the official church massively supported mass murderers, dictators, autocrats and other right-wing, liberation theology developed.
He has the absurd view of the RCC was to defend human rights and help the poor!
How it's not natural. In 1985 he finished Ratzinger with a speech and banned from teaching. He ordered Boff then down the line of the Catholic newspaper Revista Vozes place and to leave his residence in Petropolis.
Like Boff also takes English-born Jesuit Jon Sobrino numerous honorary degrees and prizes were awarded to him for his dedication to the vulnerable and respect human rights. who lives in El Salvador liberation theologian Sobrino was launched in 2007 with a "public notification" of the Vatican to silence.
The famous Belgian Dominican, and participants at the Second Vatican Council, Prof. Dr. Edward Schillebeeckx OP (1914-2009), was also in the 1980s by JR CDF with "Vatican notifications" excessive. Schillebeeckx had ventured among others doubt that the Bible is a logical consequence of the celibacy derived. Joseph R.
obviously wants to prevent by all power, that creep among theologians and clerics sympathetic types who do not want to make the Irdenbürgern heavier.
The infantry of the church is not amused and, interestingly, reached the Vatican with his writing and speaking draconian prohibitions rather the opposite. Such a Komunikationsbann has just improved if the accused subsequently also like Giordano Bruno burned. Since the JR also know it makes it safely across Fuchsig that he now has to leave his victims alive.
Küng, Boff, Gaillot, Drewermann and Co, after the Vatican scolded them, nor more famous and renowned worldwide.
thinks Obviously, the rank and file do not like the head of the Vatican.
There is not asked.
can only vote with their feet and this happens. For example, in the Archdiocese of the youngest cardinal of the Earth, said in view of the thousands of Catholic clergy abuse cases in the TIME interview, should ask themselves "what does Jesus say to us".
abuse, beatings, unfaithfulness: the scandals of last year, the Catholic Church hurt harder than previously thought. Alone, the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising in 2010 registered more than 23 200 outlets - from the previous year, an abrupt increase of 30 percent. [...] The exit numbers has researched the news agency DAPD. In a survey, however, came only six of the seven Bavarian dioceses asking for for information. This information showed that 53 663 Christians returned to the Catholic Church last year's back - a whopping increase of 48.5 percent over the previous year. The diocese of Regensburg refusing to participate, the evaluation for 2010 are not yet fully available, it said. Estimating the number of Regensburg but using the average trend in other dioceses, it is likely to 65 000 outlets across Bavaria have given - that would be just under one percent of the approximately seven million Catholics in the state. (SZ 28.02.2011)
SZ-man Andrew Ross, who laments the exodus of one percent of the Bavarian Catholics a year, obviously surprised to learn about the passivity of the bishops, he writes:
The more it is amazing Bavaria that have no more bishops oppose the loss of 65 000 believers continued as their silence. (SZ 28.02.2011)
Mr. Ross is obviously confused.
he believe, the faithful remained, if the bishops would take more in?
No, the bishops have - from their perspective - finally won a correct conclusion: They are so unpleasant on-the-people-by-speaker, that they deal with any public statement the faithful of the Church.
slow down time with their silence they exit wave on the lowest speed.
If the eminences and Excellencies publicly rip the door, as did Mixa, Müller, Meisner, Marx, and Overbeck, lawn its members only in the numerous local offices and explain to their leaving the church.
bishops are Westerwelle of the church - with every speech they will be unsympathetic. your public acceptance can only be consistent with public abstinence be increased.
In this sense I am glad about every TV appearance of one of those weird old men in red dresses.
to the reports, which shall no longer a man, because they are every year like Christmas around the corner, heard the criminal statistics of extreme right violence. you are growing.
Last year a total of 19 468 right politically motivated crimes in Germany have been recorded by the police. Among them were 959 violent crimes and 13 295 Propaganda, as the Federal Government has notified in its reply (17/1319) to a written question tabled by the Left (17/1115). ( NPD-blog.info )
The only truly effective method that the state governments so far have occurred in order to push the rate a little, is the revolutionary idea of Saxony-Anhalt, Ministry of Interior to withdraw in the far-right scene investigators and in the future rather speeders on the highways flash to let . If the police's looking less accurate, less crimes are registered, ergo was behind the crime rate. right-wing extremist violence is ultimately not a nice thing.
for tourism!
As the hospitality industry suffers.
Well, squeamish people may argue that the victims suffer, but in Germany we have tested a successful culture of ignoring.
Of course, when a Turkish-born youths attacked at a train station a German with white skin, the length and breadth dragged through the news, but the victim belongs to a minority and is also in the province, is often turned the tables.
As in April 2010, a 17-year-old boy coming from a mother in Israel Saxony-Anhalt injured by skinheads difficult to access six non-passers.
As Noam Cohen [last name!] on 16 April with the regional train from Naumburg returns, his life in Germany is still in order. It is 18 clock, he comes from a hairdresser, everything looks like an ordinary evening. Some of his classmates sitting at the bus stop outside the station in Laucha, Saxony-Anhalt. Noam is made to them. Shortly after that comes by Alexander P.. He is 20 and bald with. Without warning, he proposes Noam's face and yells, "Go back where you came from. ! You Jewish pig " ( time 14/06/2010)
as the act turns up in newspapers, will quickly a particular tenor one - Noam was indeed own fault, for why he wanted to play football, even though everyone knew that the football coach in town, "Lutz Battke," is the best known and respected right-wing extremists. that he would bring his followers to "make Jewish pig plate" was in sight. Battke would indeed be a violent Nazi, but also a good football coach, because you could also do not expect the city to have something done about it.
Lutz Battke is chimney sweep and sits as a non-party for the NPD in the city council and county council. The NPD was the last local elections in 2009 in Laucha to 13.5 percent, the best result in all of Saxony-Anhalt. Battke also trained the five-to seven-year-old played in Lauchaer football club BSC 99, and Alexander P. for the club. [...] Everyone in Laucha Battke knows, as a chimney sweep, he comes in every house. Many are connected by the football club with him. Also, the electrician said: "I'm clear with that. Birthday, he calls me. "And his right-wing views? could "From the shit I want to know anything." The attack on Noam can not blame Battke. [...] The President of the BSC 99, Klaus-way will not want to talk about Lutz Battke and then talk about it yet. Ways and Battke know long time. "I see human and sporting no reason to fire him. He has not committed the violence. " ( time 14/06/2010)
Noam The family is extremely tricky way to Germany with" connected ". The story is so outlandish that she was known throughout Israel. In Germany, however, there is no interest, no politician who would have spoken about this.
The attack on Noam excited for their family history a lot of attention in Israel. The family of [Noam mother] Tzipi Lev's father, Noam grandfather was deported from the Warsaw ghetto to Auschwitz and killed. Only the father was hiding, was the only one on the Second World War and emigrated to Palestine. His daughter he has never said much about his past. wanted to speak as an American TV crew with him about his life, he had a heart attack, with 47th Noam other grandfather was a coach of the Israeli athletes at the Olympic Games in Munich 1972nd He was killed in the hostage taking by Palestinian terrorists. He died because a failed attempt by German police to free the hostages. And now the attack on Noam. "It was a shock," said Tzipi Lev. "I was hysterical. It can not be that the third-generation Jewish after the Holocaust in Germany can not freely roam the streets. " ( time 14/06/2010)
Battke is notorious and still appreciated. No one stops the man
Battke lives in one of the main streets of Laucha be parked in the yard Scooter, a brown swallow, to pin up a heart for children, and a heart for Germany and our soldiers are not criminals. The best band in the world. At the front door on the first floor are shoes, lined up neatly. Battke opens the door, he is great, early 50s with black jogging trousers, a mullet haircut and Hitler mustache. He grins, is quickly very loud and says only that he will not say anything. He still smiles when he appear in a theatrical comedy. What he says about the incident with the Jewish young people? Battke slams the door, making it again, exclaims: "What kind of incident? What just happened in Palestine, which is an incident. When photographing the photographers of the time the soccer field at the BSC 99 will, there just Battke exercises with the children. He refers to the photographers of the place. Previously, he gets help, he calls the incumbent mayor of the town. He is also Vice President of the club. To confirm further extends Battke his cell phone to the photographer. When finished, the call appears on the display as a screen saver: a portrait of Adolf Hitler. " ( time 06/14/2010)
No, the fingers are directed to the family of the victim. From ISRAEL! What come to Germany? Michael Bilstein, the mayor of Leek is annoyed.
"This incident is not good for the city Laucha," he says. The mayor said the attack on Noam. It sounds as if he was worried in particular about the reputation of his city. What Lutz Battke? "Ask times but the people on the street what they think about Battke. The hold it for a chimney sweep, who does his job properly and as a coach not guilty allowed to come. "Bilstein own son plays in the club. Then, the mayor has had enough of the conversation, turns and hurries away. ( time 06/14/2010)
Laucha is everywhere. It reported only a little about it. The theme is unsexy and difficult to research. A laudable exception is - again - the NDR magazine Panorama, which in the last issue of Limbach-Oberfrohna enlightened. is worthwhile and commendable work.
But even that is of interest to anyone and this time will be followed by no consequences. Local politicians do anything to disturb the Nazis.
Somehow they disappeared in recent years, a little out of the public perception: the neo-Nazis. Although the problem right is still highly topical. For example, in the Saxon town of Limbach-Oberfrohna: attacks on young people, arson attacks and NPD events - in the small town of the far right opportunity to connect with numerous fully open. While it was very difficult part of documenting the right-wing neo-Nazis are showing the Nazi salute in front of the camera. The mayor persuaded the problem but rather small: He estimates that the "appearances" claims to "different" as the victims of right-wing violence, which has already been at least two years will continue. Panorama of a small town in Saxony, in the neo-Nazis now belong to the everyday city and a mayor who is not doing enough apparently. ( panorama from February 10, 2011 )

Since then, nothing was done. Greenpeace nuclear expert Tobias Riedl, "The EnBW paper clearly shows that there are serious security flaws for years in Neckarwestheim The minister must now explain. why did it stop improving security and the paper was to disappear in the drawer. "In its letter of 5 September 2007 EnBW had requested immediate enforcement of security measures. ( HH Abendblatt 24/02/2011)

Who exactly the "extreme left-wing spectrum" is assigned, is quite clear:
The Green Party is a gathering point for unteachable inhumane and violent Marxists. reservoir of political scum! [...] The green comrades are largely to blame for the spread of pedophiles crime in Germany. [...] a particularly decadent figure in a green scum is a reservoir of political comrade Volker Beck. He is the first parliamentary secretary of the green fanatics. For years he worked on a Sodomisierung society. The green companions also fight for the equalization of the sexes, which covered up with the English word gender mainstreaming is. It is about an infamous attack on the nature of man.

Mr. Guttenberg is in a comfortable position. For ordinary politicians it's always embarrassing when they are caught in an obvious lie. The CSU has Munchausen, but already the first dozen lies fully - there is really no longer on it, If you encounter any plagiarism.
In 2004, the then Member of Parliament for the CSU Guttenberg source close Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung, a narrow 29-page analysis of the "Relations between Turkey and the EU". The publication has appeared in a series of policy analysis of the foundation under the signature 00/ML 9384 G985 in the university library Bayreuth. ( Armin Himmelrath 25.02.11)
have been identified in 47% of the essay as abgeguttenbergt.
Guttenberg has stolen the intellectual property of others and then use this output as its output? What else is new?
Since Merkel any government ethics official has renounced, it is also now in the fortunate position of not having to be ashamed.
For example, for their vice, who drove to the international pariah Ahmadinejad and the shake-hands was filmed with the Holocausteugner.
For a critique of the Human Rights Commissioner of the Federal Government, Markus Loening, at the approach of the Iranian government against the opposition in his own country, declared the vice-chairman of the SPD parliamentary group Gernot Erler: Mr. Loening is right . The actions of the Iranian authorities against their own citizens and citizens that no more democratic than their do fundamental rights of way is not acceptable. Are unacceptable to the death threats against well-known personalities like Mir Hussein Moussavi and Mehdi Karroubi. From Karrubi there seems no sign of life for days. His criticism would be credibility, however, would not be his own employer, Foreign Westerwelle, last weekend, the main person responsible for the brutal oppression of the Iranian opposition movement, President Ahmadinejad made his personal respects, and it brought out so that the international political isolation. Since then slaughtered the Iranian government to visit Wester Welles as a major diplomatic success and feels reinforced in their approach. [...] should lead Perhaps if Mr Westerwelle before his visit to Tehran, a conversation with his human rights commissioner. He probably would not recommend that Ahmadinejad to shake the hands of the cameras. ( SPD-PM 220, 02/25/2011 )
It is precisely this Westerwelle, in the current political barometer of the ZDF achieved the highest popularity increase.
In assessing of the ten most important leaders for sympathy and performance on a scale from +5 to -5 Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, however, heavy losses this week is, with an average of 1.4 (Feb. I: 2.0) but slightly more at the top of the Top Ten. In second place comes on points and with differences only in the hundredths of a field, Chancellor Angela Merkel at 1.4 (Feb. I: 1,1), in third place Frank-Walter Steinmeier in unmodified 1.1. Then follow Ursula von der Leyen 0.8 (Feb. I: 0.7), Wolfgang Schäuble also with 0.8 (Feb. I: 0.5), Sigmar Gabriel at 0.4 (Feb. I: 0; 2), Horst Seehofer 0.4 (Feb. I: 0.2) and Renate Künast with unchanged 0.1 (Feb. I: 0.1). In the negative range of the scale Gregor Gysi stay with minus 0.8 (Feb. I: minus 1.0) and Guido Westerwelle, with minus 1.0 (Feb. I: minus 1.6) rose significantly and to its best value comes almost a year. ( ZDF.de )
In general, the FDP, the party that represented by its own description "the Rule of Law Party." When asked whether Guttenberg is to remain in office even though he has plagiarized dozens of times a hundred times and lied and deceived the public, it is the FDP supporters who vote with 95% (sic) for the sanction-free cheating as a minister.
Legal, illegal? Liberal shit!
Mrs Merkel, who is now back on top of the charts, has a convinced Christian any more problems with the fact that it is their government that equips the worst dictators with weapons and logistics - to torture that their people still effktiver and can kill.
In Saudi Arabia " rights activists are arbitrarily detained, tortured prisoners systematically. There are no due process . "( wdr.de / tv / monitor ) women may almost anything, gays and adulterers to be stoned in public and who is reading a Bible, which is hand chopped off.
is very excited the Arab People not from their own regime. But the regime has been upgraded. Thanks Merkel and Westerwelle. "Germany gave Saudi Arabia arms worth several hundred million euros and there currently is building a complete factory for German assault rifles ..." ( wdr.de / tv / monitor )
Today I had finally put a different subject to law. I can even the Causa Guttenberg no longer heard. On one of the comments on my post yesterday - " harm he has only himself" - but I could , Read that I have not written too much about the CSU-Star, but obviously not enough if still not become evident where the problem really lies.
is consensus: Guttenberg has plagiarized, lied and surreptitiously a title. In the meantime he was stripped of the title and the University of convicted thief of intellectual property has apologized for "mistakes".
to think that the issue had done so, who would not after all the Guttenberg track, but it is a fallacy.
the following reasons:
1)
Each convicted thief has to fear sanctions beyond the course of the return of the (mental or physical) property. If I steal my neighbor's Mercedes, three years driving around with it, will eventually get caught, then deny the first Mercedes to have stolen and only upon presentation of vehicle registration admit my neighbor "to have made a mistake," not the issue done so that I give him the car back finally. And certainly not the return of a generous deed by me. Thus also in Guttenberg, who had not decide whether he retains the title or not.
2)
Guttenberg has a lot of people hurt in practice. First of all the authors to whom he stole the findings and has issued as his.
3)
Guttenberg has harmed the taxpayers, because he has been illegally at the expense of parliament six opinions in the academic service commission and abused for his personal use. "This number has called Bundestag President Norbert Lammert (CDU) on Thursday of the Elders of the Parliament, told participants. In any case, a permit had been submitted to the federal administration for publication. This is According to the regulations actually required. Lammert, the adoption of the texts in the dissertation as "depressingly clear," have called. Guttenberg was on Wednesday declared before the Bundestag, there were "four drafts" of the Research Service of the Federal Parliament "as a primary source incorporated in the work". ( Spon 24/02/2011)
4)
Guttenberg has his old university and in particular his supervisor, Peter Häberle massively harmed by it has damaged their reputation seriously - the supreme good of a university at all.
5)
Guttenberg has harmed the research in Germany. back but do not remain just a little scorched Minister, but a devastated academic landscape. This is not just the fact that now have to ask hundreds of thousands of examiners, which standards of independence and originality, they have to apply to the work of their candidates. It is even less because the gap between a "summa cum laude and a doctorate degree but knew a considerable degree of arbitrariness in dealing with theses on the part of the university disclosed. The main reason is that clear in this affair was what the ruling actually staff the University thinks. there were other problems as footnotes in Germany, "said Volker Bouffier, the Hessian Minister President (as if plagiarism would like footnotes). And Merkel said they have a defense minister and no academic staff appointed (as if a deceiver and blenders would be the same as an assistant). The two know agree with much of the population, the academic fraud in the operation apparently a venial sin holds - as opposed to fraud in the sport, on doping, which is ruthlessly punished in the eyes of the same people. ( Thomas Steinfeld 02/24/2011 )
6)
Guttenberg has harmed the peace in the Parliament and hardened the battle lines between government and opposition extreme.
CDU and CSU are dependent on Guttenberg's popularity. So he must be rescued - at any price. And that is: poison and bitterness in Parliament. Guttenberg was detrimental to peace in the Parliament and hardened the battle lines between government and opposition extreme. Barbara Hendricks almost crying with rage. Half an hour is Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, especially in the Bundestag asked about his thesis was. Now the SPD treasurer stands in the foyer of the Reichstag and hears with to, as the CSU representative Hans Michelbach sneers at the opposition. Faint idea was that mocks Michael Bach, "it's just the way that MPs can not ask." Hendricks cook even more. A word of honor, the student has signed statement to Guttenberg with his old university at that time that he had acted properly. And now, excuse me, and that's it? "You probably take the tacitly accepted in that bourgeois culture is in breach," Hendricks calls. Suddenly, Volker Kauder in front. "At home they say: Stay chremig," says the Union party leader. It will probably seem soothing. Hendricks explodes: "... and you continue to lubricate your Liars and hypocrites! "If it has come so far in the Reichstag, it's come a long way. ( Robert Birnbaum 24/02/2011)
7)
Guttenberg, finally, by his conduct of democracy as a whole seriously damaged, because now officially the worst prejudice against our form of government is confirmed: It is not ". equal rights for all"
until 2010 was an almost identical case - the CDU local politicians Andreas Kasper had just as Google Mountain his Dr. title by plagiarism erschummelt -. handled differently, the young, aspiring politician must Unions To defend for weeks now. A scientist has become aware that the man has plagiarized. The university investigated, it starts a fight. "To the best knowledge and belief," he had made the promotion, defended the Union leaders. But it is not enough. In the end, Andreas Kasper go. He loses his doctorate, he loses his job, he loses his existence. Paragraphs, he had copied from texts, without quoting the sources correctly. Kasper feels the Criminal Law: In January 2010, the prosecutor an order of punishment imposed with 90 daily rates of 100 € for breach of copyright. Kasper is charged. ( Gordon Repinsk 02/23/2011 ) course, Mr. Kasper loses his job, his office and his role in the party.

Guttenberg disavowed the armed forces, as he now takes out a special law, the armed forces at the two universities in Hamburg and Munich, which are under the supervision of the top would be unthinkable. There counterfeiters are severely punished.
Sometimes there were fines, said a spokesman for the university. According to a report of the Central German newspaper "has been degraded at the University of Munich two years ago, a Bundeswehr officer, because he filed a partially written-exam work have. The Bundeswehr University in Hamburg stressed crack down deceiver. ( FTD.de )
9)
Guttenberg with the overall moral to his grave, the Chancellor, permitted under criminal behavior without consequences.
"And Merkel is facing two crystal clear alternatives: either they immediately fired Guttenberg and finished his increasingly grotesque attempts to stylize himself a victim of a campaign. Or she stops him, the impostor set. And that is, faking, cheating and plagiarism in the future fall plus subsequent spin from the "not bad". An error, nothing more. Who is popular, may this really what all this talk of that righteousness, which claims the Union so much for itself, mockery. ( Stefan Reinecke 23/02/2011)

Guttenberg, the faculty total harm, as they may be laughed at in the future if they insist on compliance with scientific standards. Accordingly, they are also acidic. 70 Bayer professors have written an open letter of complaint to the Ministry of Science.
In the open letter reads: "Unfortunately some politicians represented by the position it had at the behavior of the PhD is a minor offense such as illegal parking act that everywhere in the scientific enterprise is unusual, so that this particular case was ever revealed only to lead a 'smear campaign' or even a 'politically motivated attack from the far left outside' against a government politician . A fatal impression find the signatories of the letter. you want, they write, "will continue to be able, with great severity the standards of scientific work" to teach the students. But this could not, "if the impression common is plagiarism in academia are quite common and would only exceptionally by Radical left uncovered. Wolfgang Heubisch, Bavarian FDP Minister of Science, has now responded to the public call the Munich professors. "Plagiarism in academic work is no trifle," said Heubisch. The indispensable basis of all scientific work with strict honesty counted in terms on the contributions of partners, competitors and predecessors, including the obligation to produce evidence of quotations. ( Spon 24/02/2011)

Guttenberg just not under fire because it 2007 at the Submission of the work Dr. lied in the sworn statement, but because he lied to ever since and now is lying. He is a notorious liar, who has coiffed to x places his resume he lied obviously in dealing with Wiechert and Schneider cock and he lied in the past week almost every day, saying only that it was "absurd" his doctoral thesis to criticize, then noted that the work is not plagiarism, and even yesterday in front of parliament said NOT to have been deceived.
12th)
The issue is not to be recognized that the university has conceded the Dr. title.
It's about the law relevant to the charge of "deliberate deception", the Bayreuth has yet investigated, although at this point is as good as clear that Guttenberg - again - is lying when he says they were "the error "only come across by accident. New however is the boldness with which the accused attempted to reinterpret the affair as a continuation of their own heroic story. Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, it contrived to present themselves in the Bundestag as a model. His claim: would handle all the scientists so self-critical of himself as he did, the academic world would be better. The man, who glued his university, his supervisor and the science says no such leaders before. He has stolen from vanity and careerism other authors. The issue a special permit had to write a PhD at the earliest possible date in the letter head can and then fraudulently award was for many years. That is breathtaking. ( Lutz Kinkel 02/24/2011)
Guttenberg Finally, of course, has seriously damaged the Chancellor, who now stands before the entire press as amoral and future hardly anyone can enter the world of respect for ethical values. know Chancellor Merkel to the popularity Guttenberg, and they also know that they would set their own popularity on the line, when Guttenberg had forced to resign. So she let him give. The damage that it will grow from medium to long term is to not judge, but its outlines are already visible. If a fraud is allowed to stay Ministers can with conservative values such as honor, honesty and decency no longer promote credible. And if a fraud is allowed to stay ministers will also ask other a soft sentence, if they have a scandal at his heels. For those of Merkel often touted educational Republic is the case Guttenberg a catastrophe and every pirate product in China will be laughing up his sleeve. And not to forget: If Guttenberg to such actions such as cobbling together a thesis is capable of what he has hired - and what will he do? Merkel has embarked on a player. ( Lutz Kinkel 02/24/2011)
Finally, I will, however, also recognize a "mistake" which I did. Not here, but was in a comment on another site I assumed Guttenberg avarice. If you already would get a mediocre Ghost Writer for 10,000 €, it was very stingy in that Guttenberg no tidy sum for a much better ghost writer and instead wanted to spend even access to the free version of it in the Scientific Service of the Bundestag.
This is wrong!
Guttenberg was not so stingy, but has for his "summa cum laude" a three-quarter of a million euros to the University of Bayreuth "donation."
EUR 750 000 for the University of Bayreuth. While working on his dissertation, has operated the CSU politician Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg at the University of Bayreuth about his family as a sponsor. Between 1999 and 2006 were for a new chair at the Law and Economics Faculty the University of Bayreuth total of 747 € 764.36 was paid, confirmed the Rhon-Klinikum AG, the Tagesspiegel. Guttenberg sat from 1996 to 2002 Board of Rhön-Klinikum AG, his family was there until 2002, a big block of shares. The CSU politicians studied from 1992 to 1999 in Bayreuth Law and received his doctorate in 2007 with the top grade "summa cum laude. ( Rainer Woratschka 02/24/2011)
The € 750,000 are obviously well spent, because the goodwill of the University of Guttenberg still urgently needs to not end up as criminals guilty of deliberate deception have) since.
Since Guttenberg had asked himself to the deprivation of his doctor's title, had to choose the University of the fast process, "said University President Bormann - and had caused so much misunderstanding. The Bremer law professor and discoverer of the shortcomings of the thesis of Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, Andreas Fischer-Lescano, complained in the "Tagesspiegel", the Promotion Committee of the University of Bayreuth had "dodged the rating of deception" in the denial of the doctorate . And SPD interior expert Dieter Wiefelspütz criticized in the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger: "The University of Bayreuth pinches, because they decided not to examine whether there is a deliberate deception -. and despite the most massive evidence " ( Tagesschau.de 24/02/2011)
The University of Bayreuth, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, who removed his doctorate . . Minister but he remains, at least until further notice, he was "disappointed not aware," he says, who has always read in his dissertation, will think he does not -. in more than a hundred, not even hundreds of reported transfers from works of other authors, many of which are also slightly different from the originals. ( Thomas Steinfeld 24/02/2011 )
Oppermann Guttenberg compared with a petty criminal. Also caught a shoplifter can not be the excuse: "That was my alter ego, has just bought sloppy," said Oppenheimer. The Social Democrat was referring to statements from Guttenberg, had the "technical mistakes" allowed when writing his work. "When would Guttenberg can remain in the Cabinet as a liar, then change the democratic system in Germany" , said Oppenheimer. Every pupil, student or soldier would have in similar Incidents with serious consequences to be expected. "There should be no special rights for ministers in Germany." (SZ 23/02/2011)
Since it is believed to have seen it all and to no surprise to be and then there is the same as a double. First, there is
the Facebook message from my dear cousin, U.S., who has at least noticed, that I - ALTHOUGH I AM AMERICAN - still do not worship George Bush. He hands me now in a sense the hand as he writes with great approval of his FB friends:
"XY": No matter what you think about GW Bush, he has had the most impact , And is the reason for this unrest and the fall Dictatorships that we are witnessing. With his leadership, he showed that oppression can be overcome in Iraq and Afghanistan, a fire was started ... Our soldiers are the best of us. Enjoy filling your tank, unrest is expensive ....
The second surprise I had when I turned on the TV to the parliamentary "topical" Causa to Dr. Guttenberg 'to listen.
The mimicry-Minister-acted well, that's finally what makes him so popular He has the ability to complete the group speaks to which he adapted. not surprising, is its malleability not impaired by a bulky backbone or conscience.
That was a lesson in "mimicry," ie in art, to adapt to its environment. On the Monday before his Hessian CDU fans still polarized on brash attack, doctor said retired from Guttenberg to the Bundestag, the highest level of his humility program. He acknowledged bad signals to the world of science, apologized to his teachers for an obviously miserable thesis. And he was contrite about it, proud to have tried to square the circle, to be out but failed because of excessive demand, as a young family man, politician and scientist. And he had every provocation his political opponents just walk into the void. Ernst and controlled, confident, and self-complacency. But the malleable clay in Guttenberg, was so hard he was on the merits. The strategy had been given on Monday by the Chancellor: Here, the human, fallible because graduate student, as the blameless, as responsible Minister. In short: The dual Guttenberg. Or: Who lost in the study as a sloppy track and academics may remain member of the Merkel government and try to continue to feats such as the planned reform. This man does not think of retreat. ( About Stephen Bach, SWR, 02/23/2011 )
The really impressive in the debate, however, was undercut how dynamic the speaker of the coalition in any recent low point of German culture of debate. The culprits in the affair Guttenberg made from the bullies CSU General Secretary Dobrindt and CSU party head Hans-Peter Friedrich in the ranks of the SPD. How would they do the oh-so-popular minister to criticize? The was deeply indecent by the opposition. Guttenberg just show decency in which he admit to mistakes! The Bayern-General Dobrindt it takes no longer to complete sentences and fires only one gene Schimpfwortkanonade Links ". Contender" "self-exposure of the opposition", "unworthy", "shabby"
This is again the Argumentation of my cousins, who realized that George Bush peace and democracy in the Arab world has brought. Such convolutions have to obviously have to realize that with Guttenberg came the decency in politics!
Colleagues sister party the rest of downright indignation of the opposition and called for apologies.
SPD chief Sigmar Gabriel has recently Guttenberg compared indirectly with Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi. "Infamous" is that, and "grossly" violated all parliamentary rules, railed Union Group Vice Andreas Schockenhoff. Finally, Berlusconi an "old man who has sex with minors" have. Gabriel had to apologize to the defense minister calls Schockenhoff. ( Spon 23/02/2011)
The FDP-Stephen little Thomae and Burkhard Müller-Sönksen made fun of the opposition, which had nothing else to do than talking about a few years old footnotes. An outright lie and this because, of course, is not the then-thesis of the "Baron's lies," the theme of the question hour, but that he lied NOW and within the last week and over again.
The question is whether someone who so blatantly contrary to his own standards and has lost all credibility, may be a defense minister. Like any Defense will come Guttenberg still often in difficult political situations, but you will never believe him again without reservation. This damage to goutieren draws, of course, the entire federal government in the morass of dishonesty. What can we believe Mrs Merkel even if they actively and demonstratively a notorious liar in their ranks for an "excellent minister" last? What is the Federal Government, the Republic of education and science in Germany worth? Apparently nothing. Finally, Merkel and Co. have lost all authority in dealing with stolen intellectual property! They protect not the authors and researchers who Guttenberg has robbed, but flock to the thief. aware that in order to ridicule for all eternity if they go against international Patentklau, illegal downloading and economic espionage. At best, this has
expressed Prof. Dr. Dr. Karl Lauterbach.
issue in the debate about the credibility of the policy, said Karl Lauterbach. The apology of the Minister would be fine if Guttenberg now resign. For it is true "A liar is, is not believed." Guttenberg continue lying to stay in office. Regardless of whether judges Teacher or a manager in a company, all would have received for this misconduct dismissal. "Only in the Merkel cabinet to keep his job at fraud," said Lauterbach. The shame and the German science and research. Research Schavan He accused that it had not offered himself protectively in front of the science.
opera Thomas Mann recalled that Guttenberg dismissed just over a week the first plagiarism accusations as absurd. The Verteidigungsmnister had asserted that his thesis is his own performance. Today we know so Oppermann, that 100 pages were written off in the work of scientists, politicians, journalists and students without this feature. Every day new reports of Academic Services would be aware that Guttenberg had taken without permission and without any identification in his work, now there are six.
Guttenberg has deceived, cheated and lied with the truth Guttenberg skidding out only "when the overwhelming burden of proof" was. Those who copy about 100 pages, who replacements six scientific reports do not make mistakes or negligence quote. With operators deliberately and systematically taking over strange thought. This work was not in much of Guttenberg's performance. "They were wrong. They have cheated. They have lied, "threw Oppermann before the Defence Minister. He asked how Guttenberg still respect and authority figure for 10 thousands of young soldiers could be caused by not cheating, but want to do their duty. "Every soldier would have been dismissed. Each student would have fallen through the baccalaureate and each student would be flown from the university. And because this is so, it must be in Germany, no special rights for ministers, "said Oppenheimer. Satirist would scoff already: If Gutenberg wanted to get out excuse that he had only cited sloppy, would in future those who were convicted of Ladendiebstahlts excuses, "she had bought just sloppy." Fundamental values of a civil society should also apply for the bourgeois coalition's decision to the chancellor, that "academic fraud and a liar" is allowed to be members of the Cabinet, Oppermann described as intolerable. But even worse was the answer, the Chancellor had set no scientific assistants, but a defense minister. Guttenberg man is not divisible into an "academic imposter and into a veritable Defense Minister ". The sincerity, honesty, veracity, but are not divisible. "Truthfulness, protection of property, including respect for intellectual property - for other services - they're not interchangeable values. These are fundamental values of a civil society and they should also be a civic coalition, "made it clear Oppermann. Guttenberg remain in the Cabinet harm science in Germany, he did not know whether the Federal Chancellor and Minister of Science was aware of the huge crop damage they had done in the training of young scientists. "Northern Germany you do to form Republic claim. With cheating and cheating will destroy the scientific culture and destroy the basis for intellectual honesty in this country, "said Oppenheimer. A doctoral thesis by deception is a pathetic role model.
Hans-Peter Bartels made it clear that the Bundeswehr needed a minister, whose words mean something. Guttenberg while talking in front of the Federal Armed Forces University of "truth and clarity". But his sworn statement was to his thesis is not true. The Minister speaks of 'Leading by example "- but a thesis by deception is a pathetic role model. Otherwise see again and again the word of Guttenberg does not apply. Whether the abolition of conscription, in the Kunduz affair to the events on the Gorch Fock, or in the army reform.
By the way, what Guttenberg as a "mistake" but not called deliberate deception, even the baronophile CSU's University of Bayreuth shocked.
Prof Häberle, the supervisor, who had carved out the "summa cum laude" seems if his advanced age, he is 76 years, to have been chosen specifically by Guttenberg.
you know that professors who reach out to 80, usually not familiar with online research and plagiarism search programs. The university has a total but now fear for their reputations and attacked by maintains it.
But the university also had an interest in the case Guttenberg quickly to get out the headlines. Also, the horror of many professors about the plagiarism scandal was so great that the bodies hastily set to work to examine the legal dissertation defense minister. And so, the University announced already on Wednesday night for its decision: Guttenberg must return his doctoral degree. His doctorate was for the university no longer sustainable. More than 20 locations in Guttenberg's work had examined in detail the university scientists. The result was clearly failed: Guttenberg had "significant" violation of the citation. It was not a mere petty cases, "said the Ombudsman of the university, Diethelm Klippel. ( Tanjev Schultz 02/23/2011)
One must admit the government is: Do the parliamentary streamlined operation. After re-election of Gerhard Schröder in the year 2002, the then opposition, the so-called of lies committee used, since the Registrar had deliberately withheld her opinion before the federal election 2002, data on economic development. An obvious theater, because that after 11 September 2001 and the subsequent wars, the world economy would be affected, it can hardly be called surprising. What the opposition wanted to achieve concrete with the so-called lies of the Bundestag committee of inquiry remained unclear. was obviously only to blacken so by all means SPD and the Greens.
The chairman of the CDU in the committee, Peter Altmaier, demanded that Schroeder would have to ensure To apologize for lying to the public before the election. Schroeder said he had to apologize for anything. "We have acted correctly." The establishment of the committee was "at least doubtful. Before beginning the committee session Schroeder had spoken of a continuation of the campaign by other means. The Chancellor appeared before the Committee stressed on loose and Altmaier interrupted several times with mocking comments. The CDU chairman, he urged, among other things, to improve his interview technique. Altmaier concerned are no neutral, his questions already included convictions. (Handelsblatt 03.07.2003)
Such committees of inquiry are now officially obsolete.
The blacks are in fact now blackened general.
lies and fraud are now officially the brand essence of the so-called bourgeois parties.
Some lies of Guttenberg:
I have made my work to the best of my knowledge. (15/02/2011)
The charge that my dissertation is a plagiarism is abstruse. (02/16/2011)
I am willing to examine whether isolated at more than 1,200 footnotes and 475 pages footnotes or not should be set correctly. (02/16/2011)
I wrote my dissertation is not plagiarism, and the accusation as I most emphatically from me. She is over about seven years in addition to my professional activity as a young family man deputies were in the most arduous and painstaking work it undoubtedly contains errors. (02/18/2011)
I have also noticed how right it was that I have (...) said that I will not hold the doctor title. I say this quite deliberately, because I find (...) was that I had made serious mistakes. (22/02/2011)
I am also on the nonsense that I wrote. (22/02/2011)
who is old enough to remember what a shabby way to 1982 the world-renowned intellectuals and "artist" by Helmut Schmidt Helmut Kohl was replaced by the spineless Genscher his election promise ("second vote for the FDP, it remains Chancellor Schmidt") broke out, will still feel gag reflex.
was funny but that the incarnation of a moral start in provincial politics promised. time sounded a bit daring, and today we know that Kohl had promised too much. Starting in 1982 actually was a new morality. convicted tax evaders were ministers, even stuffed cabbage behind the scenes, the pockets with dirty money from Flick, the Civic Association and more Von Brauchitsch again full. The Hessian CDU colleagues dragged the suitcase donations million illegal way to Liechtenstein and what Helmut Kohl held by Catholic family values, is by the suicide of his wife and the rupture of contacts with his sons, of whom at least one well thought of suicide, also obvious.
(Who could blame them;. When my father Helmut Kohl would be, I also thought about suicide)
With Merkel took office in 2005, we again experienced a moral reform politics. Mammon and intolerance are the new practice with the Chancellor. you turned away from the peace-oriented axis Paris-Berlin-Moscow and put on the obvious war criminals George W. Bush. The weapons exports from Germany increased to unprecedented heights and 2009 as troublesome Rudimentary-Socialists were expelled from the Cabinet, the minister's daughter bowed deeply before pharmaceutical lobby, banks and hotels. environmental protection and safety of their own people had been used as decision criteria. And the man who not only public but even from the pulpit of the German Bundestag in, log - was made the Finance Minister - namely Schäuble. A CDU-size so that took a suitcase containing 100,000 marks of dirty money from a criminal arms dealer in itself and to the direct question Christian Ströbele if it is "too times adopted a suitcase full of money ", had said" no ", became the master of Germany made cash.
Yesterday, on 21 February 2011, a date that you have to remember, made the chancellor, prime minister and owner of the policy guidelines publicly clear that for them, morality is not a criterion anymore. If it is used to maintain power, may be also lied, cheated and manipulated. This is now official - with the blessing of the Federal Chancellor.
The curse of the evil deed that Guttenberg does not confess, has led rapidly to a low point of moral Verlotterung. They have not called him as a research assistant, says Angela Merkel. Ah, who would have thought? ( Tissy Bruhns 22/02/2011)
Germany in 2011 has reached a new level of spiritual and moral change.
The Chancellor is to Guttenberg and does not call into question his fitness. His continued lies is irrelevant for them. Dr. retired and from Abkupferberg has not only lied his dissertation. He lies habitually apparently, how the press on Friday (no plagiarism), as on Wednesday ("absurd allegations"), such as Kunduz front of the committee of inquiry, such as with respect to its activities in the family-owned company and as ever in his resume . Pinocchio is no objection.
Merkel stripped but not only the moral, like an annoying have become too narrow skin, no, it occurs also throughout the academic world from the shin:
"Therefore that Mrs Merkel point while confidently that it would be so damn instead of an academic to know only a lazy academics in the Cabinet ranks. But that they - in this case - an apparently unconscious deceiver of Defense has, does not even like her publicly. Apart from the fact that they choose their clientele so yes, indirectly, says: How stupid are you anyway, you bent down to Academy Bay, where there is really only to - say - the inner values or charisma or character's that are not already taught in schools. This brings us finally to the point but when the action against doctor who likes to wear, too populist AC / DC shirts in public, in common with its least power. Because he does now from all the unconscious as nonsense and deception. What in fact is an insult, not chutzpah. " ( Bernd Graff 02/22/2011)
As the saying about fit, I will do the same now Dr. copy and paste and quote a few voices.
Unlike Guttenberg, who did not make it in seven years work, the quotations as such a feature, I found the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + large + k "and may be representative of italics, which sentences do not come from me.
"The lie has become ministrabel " Spon-author Stefan Kuzmany complained to Law and notes that constitute Guttenberg's current multiple lies the main problem:
To plagiarized doctoral it's not long ago. It is a turning point in the political culture of the Federal Republic: The lie has become ministrabel. Let us only once before, would have resigned to Guttenberg. Angela Merkel would have had to reorganize her Cabinet feasible for them to unfavorable time. The year began with the furious lost Hamburg-election bad enough start for the Union, the loss of the most popular man would have heralded another defeat for the Christian Democrats, the CSU would have equal standing there completely without perspective. That should not happen - that must be supported at all costs Guttenberg and held. But there is a high price paid by the Chancellor for the maintenance of power of their camp. It leaves a man in office who claims a day, which were brought against him of plagiarism allegations "absurd", then, as the evidence of his dishonesty can not be wiped away as easily, grinning before the cameras and provides no any admission of guilt expressed a willingness to temporarily abandon the stolen title, but finally, when the evidence is overwhelming on its own stores a doctorate, and thus avoid any further critical demand basis investigated. ( Spon 02/22/2011)
Merkel provides power-political expediency over political decency and morality. If that is the question, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg still in office when he first Guttenberg would not, but for example, Jung? And he was still in office today if not the 23 February would be, but the 28th March? Both can, though not with certainty, but with a certain probability to be answered in the negative. On 27 March is elected in Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Wuerttemberg. Never before in the south of the Union from power in the state parliament was so close. Currently, nothing should jeopardize this election, it will pay every price. So far, so simple. ( Brigitte Fehrle 23/02/2011)
After a prominent speech against the Chancellor of the academic subject, it would actually be time for the responsible Minister Schavan to have your say too. But, as always sleeps, the devout theologian from Sydney.
was only a lie, then uncovering the lies and insults now the unfair methods of Guttenberg in the preparation of his doctoral work trivialized. For the CDU, unfair methods are trivialized as a kind of emergency measure taken by a congested Members. thousands of young doctoral students have to difficult family, professional and financial conditions of their work and create many have to give up her plan even. But in Guttenberg's case, these circumstances justify improper means. It is high time that science Schavan protectively in front of the science and is no longer going to dive station. Schavan must make clear that unfair methods in scientific work is no trivial matter and can not remain without consequences. The trivialization mocks the efforts of all high school teachers who are struggling at home, diploma and master's theses for plagiarism and deceptions. It can not be that because of an alleged Personalnot at CSU significant collateral damage to the detriment of science are taken implicitly into account. (Krista Sager for the Green Parliamentary Group 02.22.2011)

[...] may The voice of the Federal Minister [...] absent any further, but must support the highest self-expectation of science and protection from unreasonable demands of a "courtesy culture".

How CDU general policy is not valued education and the universities in the rain.
at universities most professors are appalled by the course of the discussion. Many do not speak in public so as not incurring the accusation of prejudice. Behind closed doors, but they all say if this promotion is not withdrawn, the science in Germany suffer irreparable damage. Finally, then anyone could ever so brazen plagiarist, the teachers come to his tricks, refer to Guttenberg's work. And all doctoral students who actually do what Guttenberg has claimed for years that is struggling with her work would come before verschaukelt. [...] Ensure the meantime, the German professors across disciplines about the consequences of plagiarism affair. So the Germanistik Professor Robert Stockhammer of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, wrote in an open letter to the Bavarian Minister Wolfgang Heubisch science, is seen in public 'increasingly produced the impression that this is a partisan political debate. Unfortunately represented some politicians by the position, there had been at the behavior of the PhD is a minor offense such as illegal parking, which everywhere in the scientific enterprise is unusual, it should be that the particular case was only revealed to a "smear campaign" or even a politically to lead motivated attack from far left "against a government politician." (SZ, 22/02/2011)
Guttenberg wanted to anticipate his statement with only the decision of the University of Bayreuth, "because he expects most of the withdrawal of the doctorate," the political scientist Jürgen W. Falter said of Mainz University of Passau Neue Presse. "You can not entpromovieren," he said. The Union, by Norbert Lammert apart are those details matter - she is pleased to share in the election year on the popular minister to the people. The Baden-Württemberg Minister President Stefan Mappus announced immediately in the state elections undergo "a series of appearances with Guttenberg to do. He was convinced that the thesis in the election battle "Do not play a decisive role" will. ( SZ, 02/22/2011 )
missed With the resignation of Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, with the backing of the Chancellor for their much-needed light form it is now official: When a politician speaks of values and responsibility , then these are only a simulation. concepts such as decency and honor are only concerned because they want to hear the audience happy. But they mean nothing. This is not good for democracy. ( Spon 02/22/2011)
Democracy in Germany is apparently already so damaged that The electorate no longer bothered by a notorious liar. On the contrary, Ms Merkel's logic, that there were up to his "character" and not about his honesty, they cheer Guttenberg attacks against the evil journalists who dare criticize him.
Since it back, his favorite word: Absurd .* "If there is occasionally a bit absurd, it keeps things from," Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg calls. An Upper Franconia Weather fir haue such a storm by far. Resign? "Where's coming soon!" When he is finished, they jump up: 900 CDU euphoric supporters in the town hall Kelkheimer. Jubilant roar. Absurd this is that evening together copied his thesis, for which he apologizes. Guttenberg is absurd for the conduct of the journalists who have reported great about it. "We must be careful that we keep things more in balance," the defense minister lectured from the stage. And asks with compressed voice: "Is this justifiable?" He has the crowd under control as only a few speakers. He calls angry sentences - the hall snorts. He speaks softly and imploringly - nods to the room. He praises the very disjointed "gifted author Thilo Sarrazin - the hall clapping vigorously. In between, he makes fun of the "lower lip quivering indignation" of his critics. The hall laughs.

KING OLAF "Today, the headline of the Hamburger Morgenpost and undermines this account immediately in Frank Niggemeier Conductor comment. Mopo The editor in chief while attesting to the future mayor to "get it right" have found, but again the fabulous Chain failures of the CDU, which had submitted a completely unsolicited and an amateur Ahlhaus *. The CDU had pretty much messed up everything, which you can versemmeln. Even today, mom Merkel threw her former favorite MP before Beust, to take the blame for the debacle on the Elbe and Alster. Since it would have been needed extreme SPD error, just to NOT win.
Hamburg had enough. Of a Senate, promised the lighthouse and then craft policies governed by bungling of the citizens. From the office far too long weary Mayor von Beust, who resigned and his successor unmotivated not regulated. Chris Ahlhaus' amateurish administration. Yes, even down in history. As mayor, with the shortest term in office and responsible for by far the worst election results for the CDU. In his few months at City Hall Ahlhaus did everything wrong. He appointed a senator lies Baron to economic and picked up a figure of fun on the cultural executive chair. He thought it a good idea, with his wife dressed up in a luxurious backdrop for photos of posing and extend left his villa with millions of tax Protz Fortress. As had the political pro knows every trick Scholz do not really much, except, make my own mistakes. He succeeded brilliantly. With its sober and pragmatic way, he hit the nerve of the hamburger. ( MoPo 21/02/2011)
fasting pragmatic nerves is also urgently need the new Senate, because in addition to all the accumulated embarrassments in the almost ten years CDU's rule, King Olaf inherits a budget that was ruined by the Union sustainable. All silverware is squandered and the debts are at record high.
Granted - this is not Urhamburgisches phenomenon.
Since Merkel and Schäuble in the Federal Government to plan the finances of all public budgets are placed somewhere between ruin and beggary. And during the "boom XXL" (Brüderle).
The financial crisis left its traces in the government: Never before has such a strong rise in debt has been measured as last year. New record high on debt in Germany: The public finances were in debt last year after the first provisional results of the Federal Statistical Office in Wiesbaden with a total of 998.8 billion euros. Two trillion euros - the equivalent calculation in debt of 24 450 euros per head. Compared with 31 December 2009 has increased the debt by 18 percent or 304.4 billion euros. "This was the highest absolute increase in debt in one year since the foundation of statistics", ie it in a press release of the Wiesbaden authority. ( DW 02/21/2011)
debt. us for private individuals, debt from the perspective of a debtor's just crap. Economically, there are some other perspectives. The 2000 billions that have federal, state and local zusammengeschnorrt, also includes anyone. Someone with tons of lending money these sums and gets plenty of interest. America such as the money gets mainly from Asia and must be transferred properly interest to Beijing and Tokyo. In Germany, this is something different, because many such households to have the high edge, 400 - 600 million but the family Guttenberg, they lend themselves to the state the money. Interest flow not from abroad, but remain the country receive.
course it is redistributed cheerful - the rich who can give the money (for example, by buying government bonds or bank holding shares) receive the interest from the general taxation. move All taxpayers billions along the top.
Another aspect of government Schuldenmacherei is spending the public purse.
The billions that has lent throws Schäuble, it is not directly in the fireplace, as you might think, but he does it for buying it. example, he bought the goodwill of the various lobbies makes good weather for the CDU at hoteliers, Energieoligopolisten and pharmaceutical giants. Or he cuts the money, specifically, "purchases" out.
are particularly expensive toys from the field of armaments. Euro Fighter, Leopard tanks and military transport there is not the "greed is good" rate.
But that does not matter - for weapons is always enough money left in this world that makes every day a myriad children die of hunger, because Dirk Niebel and his colleagues, unfortunately, they do not want to save one or the other lives.
more tanks and more drones: The 100 largest arms companies in the world increase their sales to a record high of more than $ 400 billion. Some German companies are represented in the list. In 2009, almost all sectors by the weak economy and the impact of the financial crisis have suffered. The weapons manufacturers in the world but managed to increase their sales. The Stockholm Peace Research Institute, according to the 100 largest arms companies have implemented in 2009 about 401 billion U.S. dollars, eight percent more than last year. [....] Largest German defense companies, Rheinmetall, which is number 32 of the rankings. Next Rear follow Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (50th place), Thyssen-Krupp (53), Diehl (63) and MTU Aero Engines (82). Germany, Italy, France and Britain within Europe, the most important sites in the industry. [...] sold the weapons systems, especially armored vehicles and unmanned drones well. "These systems are used inter alia in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq," [Susan T. Jackson, Sipris expert for the defense industry.] Explained ( Gunnar Herrmann 21/02/2011)
Such drones from American and European production can also be very good against unruly protesters That use dare such a thing as deviant to demand democracy.
After all the ulcers, the fancy hair, chewed fingernails, to be scratched arms and legs, the stress pimples, stomach aches, the Peinlichkeitsattacken, the horror, the shame about the CDU in Hamburg since 2001, governments must I am now at a election night in my hometown finally not cry on my pillow to sleep.
It was worth it, that I've driven a decade SPD sticker on the rear of my car a walk.
but then I am amazed how much people make at the top. For Christoph Ahlhaus Finally only three months mayor. It is difficult to him only the debacle of the CDU write. In Ole von Beust, the whole Murx started, which I have described hundreds of times in this blog - all the bankruptcies, the mega-projects including cost explosion, dozens of embarrassing resignations debakulierender senators billion collapse at HSH Nordbank, the sell off of the Hamburg silverware, etc, pp.
want from me for some reason the Hamburg but "their Ole", while his successor, Christopher Heidelberger Ahlhaus is extremely unpopular - but I can well understand. According ZDF poll Ahlhaus reached on the popularity scale of +5 to-5 "-0.6" the worst value ever measured for an incumbent was. The second worst value was a "0.0", Roland Koch in Hesse.
interesting in this context, the force of popular draft horses.
While Olaf Scholz on large campaign arenas waived and only so-called "citizens' meetings" attended by a small group, had Ahlhaus a brilliant performance with the most popular politician in Germany, Dr. aD Karl Theodor Freiherr von and zu Guttenberg at the sold CCH (2000 seats). Since the CDU felt a tailwind and the lies Baron rocked the hall.
of Defense but is considered as THE election campaign magnet, m can single-handedly fill the halls. That's right, even the hamburgers he lay at her feet and filled the CCH. But - what does it do? The CDU has lost 21 percentage points and the SPD has gained 15 percentage points.
Conclusion: A special inner icing it seems to me that probably the Greens with measly 11% well below the national trend, although they are traditionally stronger than in Hamburg in a bunch. They are obviously does not belong to the next government and to get their just punishment for the anti-environmental policy. The GAL it was finally the Ahlhaus has made it to the mayor. Shame on you. Opposition is the just punishment.
A nice prelude to the election year 2011: In a five-party parliament manages the SPD an absolute majority.
"Red-Red-Green" is represented by almost 70% in the citizenship!
Monika Griefahn, 56, SPD, unfortunately, no longer member of parliament since 2009, has recently been a very solid and I think, sympathetic politician, who proved to the Culture Committee had. In 2011, one can almost not imagine what caused an eddy Griefahn wife in 1990. The new prime minister of Hanover, Gerhard Schröder, namely, they appointed environment minister. For the majority of Germans at the time was a little scandal. Was allowed to take "such a" such a dignified office? In their past? Thus, a Wilde who was actually even criminal? It felt shocked the CDU-LER was voted out of the dads of Ursula von der Leyen, MP Albrecht. Griefahn Vita at that time was in fact quite unusual: it had constructed since 1980, the Greenpeace office in Hamburg, led it from 1981, said the campaigns against the Dünnsäureverklappungen in the North Sea to life and was a member of the 1984 international Greenpeace Executive Board - to Schroeder, they appointed as Minister. After the extremely friendly nuclear policy Albrechts, blew in Lower Saxony is now quite a different wind. The dreaded black it before the two women in Schroeder's side. meant was his then-wife "Hillu" which is still a committed campaigner against nuclear power and in particular their commitment to "the children of Chernobyl" concentrated. The images of the contaminated children with cancer and had no joy for the energy companies. The second wife of the anti-nuclear front was Schroeder's environment minister, who did everything to stop the nuclear madness.
Ultimately, they failed time and again to the superior competence of the Federal Environment Ministry, in which sat since 1994, a glowing nuclear girlfriend called Angela Merkel.
That Greenpeacler were considered to be criminals and semi-spinner, is now largely forgotten. public dare not even the nuclear power supporters of the CDU and FDP Greenpeace criticized by even if certain kinds fists clenched in the pockets in the face of massive protests, carried out by the environmental group against the life extension at the expense of safety. But Greenpeace is popular today. The organization has 2.7 million Supporting members (I am one of them) and is supported well into bourgeois circles. come a long way in the march through the institutions is the best known environmental organization in the world in the 40 years of its existence.
I find good and right, so Greenpeace also support financially.
And now comes the "but" : Perhaps the peaceful, proper and constitutional approach of the large organization is sometimes not as effective as it could be. one of the founding members, Paul Watson, member number 007, joined in 1972, Greenpeace. He was the first who selflessly used his life by himself in an inflatable whale and harpoon between Soviet Walschlächtern presented. was in fact the rescue of marine mammals not. A few years later, Watson split from Greenpeace and founded his own radical marine conservation organization Sea Shepherd Conservation Society .
This is much harder today to the point.
Watson is intended to ensure that no lives are endangered, but it can sometimes also ram whalers, or make their catch with utterly useless foul-smelling butyric acid. Japanese Walmetzger suggested his methods so that they shoot him in 2008 even left.
The Walschützer from the U.S. are the ones making the headlines with spectacular actions. They regularly throw stink bombs at whaling ships to catch the propeller with a snare or drive their boats into the firing line of the harpoons. Worldwide, announced the support of Hollywood stars like Sean Penn and Pierce Brosnan organization was a year ago after the collision of their speedboat "Ady Gil" with a whaler. ( star 02/18/2011)
The Japanese have every reason to be angry, because this year it was Watson and Co, the Japanese factory ships from the Antarctic to sell.
you put them to such an extent that they gave up after about 170 killed minke whales, although it was to slaughter originally planned 850 animals - of course all just. "For research purposes"
The time feud between international Walschützern and Japanese whalers in the Southern Ocean is over - maybe forever. The Japanese Fisheries Minister Michihiko Kano, said this year's fishing season in the Southern Ocean for early termination. Given the constant attacks by animal rights would ensure the safety of crews and ships. The harpoon was last on the 9th February shot down, now has The government officially surrendered. ( Martin Fritz 18/02/2011 ) Who wants to take a picture, a lot of videos HERE.
What a disgrace for the Japanese government, which has yet to make matters worse, by assume that the SeaShepherd activists are now only very motivated and also block other whaling ships in Japan. Watson presented this organization absolutely clear:
VSO-Day Victory Day in the Southern Ocean for whales. It's official - the Japanese whaling fleet has announced plans to leave the Southern Ocean, at least for this season. And if she comes back next season, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society will be ready to thwart the illegal Japanese whaling operations and paralyze. "The Nisshin Maru immediately after the Japanese government had made public that the whaling fleet was called back, made a significant change course," said Captain Alex Cornelissen of the Bob Barker. "It looks like she was going home!" The Sea Shepherd ship Bob Barker, the Japanese factory ship Nisshin Maru had since 9 February pursued the whalers and prevented from continuing their illegal whaling operation. "I have a crew of 88 very happy people from 23 different nations, including Japan, and they are thrilled that the whalers return home and the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary is now a real sanctuary, "said Captain Paul Watson. The Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin, Bob Barker and Gojira will remain in the Southern Ocean to escort the Japanese ships to the north. "We will not leave the whale sanctuary, has not disappeared before the last whaling ship," said the captain of Gojira, Locky MacLean. "This is a great victory for the whales," said Captain Paul Watson, "but we have not achieved alone. Without the support the people of Australia and New Zealand, we would not have been able to carry more than seven seasons away the trips from Australia and New Zealand ports. We thank Senator Bob Brown and the Australian Greens Party. We are very grateful to Mr. Bob Barker, that he gave us the ship, which sell in our commitment to the Japanese fleet in those waters, the tide was turned. We thank all our staff and volunteers on land, the members who have supported us and ship crews. We thank the Chilean Navy and the French government for its support. It is a very happy day for all people around the world that the whales and to love our oceans. " It's official - the slaughter of whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary is over for this season and the whalers have not even reached 10% of their quota. Sea Shepherd estimates that were saved over 900 whales this year. made possible the success has, ultimately, the growing budget Walschützer.
From the time the boats have they significantly "upgraded"
The Walschützer were so well equipped as never before: two each over 50 meters long ocean-going vessels, a 35-meter very fast and agile and Trimaran A helicopter made possible the effective obstacle to the whale hunt. After the sinking of a Schneellboots last year in a collision with a whaling ship, the organization had received enough donations for this massive upgrade. ( Martin Fritz 18/02/2011 )
Japan's fishing fleet is sitting on a mountain on the other hand calculations. In addition to over 4000 tons of frozen whale meat lying around for sale, as developed in Japan, an environmental consciousness.
you can trust but not, as in the exploitation of the seas massive financial interests negotiable. help other hand, only a little more violent strategy, the oracle " New Germany "
This makes this victory also demonstrates how little has been achieved in the fight for the rights of animals by peaceful means, by demonstrations and vigils, petitions, and by appeals to morality and reason. The whalers in Japan care a little about it as well as the beneficiaries of factory farms in Germany and Europe. And with signs of radicalization, the state intervenes, as at present in Austria, where 13 animal rights activists is using a dubious clause terrorism for months on trial.
particularly in the Southern Ocean, there are many other ecological disasters. now be The rich krill stocks fished industrially - that is whales, extracted from the crab-eating seals and penguins, of course, the basis for life.
extremes injury also sent to the base-trawlers, which drag her up to two kilometers of nets along the ocean floor and destroying the entire ecosystem completely. Up to 90% of animals killed "by-catch" of any case can not be recycled and disposed of will.
Although many fish stocks are already close to collapse, high-tech industrial fishing fleets continue to scour the oceans. With increasingly effective fishing methods, the last food fish to be collected. But the techniques are costly: More than 30 million tons of bycatch, including juvenile fish, birds, whales and sharks die each year in the nets. [...] The networks have a cone-like shape, and will end up with a bag to collect the fish in the closed. You will be towed by one or more vessels. For locating fish targets a sonar is used. The network is now next to the pelagic trawl gear in the main deep-sea fishing. The opening of the network with up to 23,000 square feet as big as five football fields, so that up to 12 jumbo jets fit into the opening. A Net charge can be up to 600 tons of fish - as well as huge amounts of by-catch. ( Greenpeace 2004)
of Sylt and Amrum Greenpeace in 2008, hundreds "menhirs" sunk , ie natural stones, corals can settle on which, thrown into the sea. This is a very local indeed limited but effective method is to avoid trawl fisheries, as tons and tons of boulders would destroy the nets.
The Southern Ocean is but a little further away and is also a bit larger. great to get it to prime with menhirs.
Another perverse threat life in the Southern Ocean is the long-line fishing, which eradicates the very valuable hake. addition to the decimation of this "valuable" food fish kills this method of fishing alone in the Southern Ocean around 300,000 large sea birds every year. in longline fisheries are equipped around 100 km (sic) long lines every few feet with a bait, and pulled behind a boat through the sea. That's up to 30,000 baited hooks on a leash. bait who want to pick not only the "big black hake," but albatrosses, seals and penguins like. This is achieved so far but apparently only the very cautious Orcas, the birds swallow the hook and be drowned.
The long line is horizontal spread between sea and land. It is spread out with different weights and buoys in the water. The hook for the various fishing lines are provided with bait. In the industrial longline fishing are spread over 100 kilometers long and up to 30,000 hooks. Long-line fleets lay about 1.4 billion a year worldwide hook for tuna fishing in - 4 million hooks each day. So in a few years, many stocks of tuna and Patagonian toothfish have been overfished. Even turtles, sharks and sea birds eat the bait and so are also long-line fishing victim. Common by-catch of sea turtles are victims: 250,000 Real turtles and 60,000 leatherbacks die each year as bycatch. The Great Leatherback turtles could be due to the long-line fisheries headed for extinction. Six of the seven marine turtle species are threatened with extinction. ( Greenpeache.at )
a good impression in the line fisheries in the Antarctic, provides the NDR documentary from 2006 "Titans of the Deep Sea Here Part 4 & 5.
but I think no more of the educational effect. one can know all that long ago and yet people are buying like crazy deep sea. Here is more of a Paul Watson asked Method: Unyielding activists who drive the industry offshore fishermen to the south pole behind and cut the damn lines and nets.
