Germany before the elections of the 18 September for a new government.

An end of the red-green government is to be foreseen. But which alternatives are there?. Since establishment of the Federal Republic, Germany was governed by the two largest parties, the CDU and SPD. Both are also responsible for the blown up welfare state. The situation shows that the pensions are not safe and the state is over debited. Although all parties know that it is time for acting to make Germany competitive for the Globalisation. Nobody likes to say the truth. This is not honest (CDU) and the way of savings (SPD) one does not honour. Now is the time for a mental-moral turn. The simplest solution is a large coalition. So no party must fear the alone responsibility of previous governments. Germany was occupied the last 15 years too much with its unit and lost the international competition. The consequence is an army of 5 million unemployed person. The election and above all the way after promise high voltage.

Remission of debts for poorest countries: historical success without future prospect?

The G8 states agreed on the decree of the debts of the 18 poorest countries. First this appears as a historical success. The intention of the decree is connected with good government guidance (democracy, fight against corruption). Thus a large clearance remains open for the declaration of intent. Likewise this explanation must be still confirmed by the respective heads of the governments of the G8 states. But does a remission of debts alone helps to prevent against the obligation of new debt admission of the appropriate countries?. Aren't these countries forced to make new debts to improve their export possibilities to receive capital again for necessary new investments? Does the remission really improves the situation of the people?

No to the Condition of the European Union

France and Holland rejected the European Union Condition. The Union is now in the crisis. Does the European thought get ahead? First of all there will not be a common voice in the foreign policy. That is in the age of the globalization bad for the united voice and power in world politics for Europe. The citizens feared the loss of national independence and the globalization of Europe. A large influence however played also the discontent with the own governments. In addition, the crisis can be understood as a chance. The increasing politic annoyance requires to strengthen the European participation of each person by the European governments. It requires to make Europe from tomorrow more transparent for the particular. It must been taken also the fear who is created by the increasing globalization. A large Europe in a world of changes does not have to increase the disadvantages of the globalization at the same time.

What comes after the mourning for the Pope?

The world is once again united. After the tide disaster in Asia it is this time the death of the Pope. A Pope who tried to reconcile people and religions. A Pope who helped to overcome the end of the cold war and the end of the communist regime. Now many humans questions itself: who comes after this Pope?. Johannes Paul II was occupied again and again with the human dignity, the globalisation, the materialistic civilization and the increasing social unfairness and poverty. He became a first not Italian Pope after 455 years. Comes now again a not Italian Pope?. Will we have a Pope from the so-called third world, a world with increasing members of the church?. That world who Johannes Paul II gave again and again his attention?. Doesn't have to make the church unusual decisions now in the age of increasing social contrasts also in industrial nations?

Gravel explotation in Meissenheim -The infinite history part 2-

Now the decision is made. It will not come to an agreed solution in the question gravel quarrying or no. In a long chain of decisions errors were committed by many participants. Missing strategic visions, legal unknown, missing public-friendliness as well as wrongly understood freedom of the press with wrong practice of information and capital power hardened the positions. Decisions will be made by the courts, the pay by the citizens. The height of the payment of damages will be another. It served for the "deterrence" of a free opinion identification of the local council. Once more it shows that the financial power and interests of few people can be a misfortune for a small community.

Europe journey of the American president

Europe journey of the American president

Once more recruits president Bush on its European journey for his view of a democratic and free world. But straight in Europe, which faces its world-political intentions critically, one can see also the weakness of the Bush administration. The policy of power has its limits. The president knows about his situation. The Afghanistan and Iraq war demands ever more funds. The household indebtedness continues to increase. The power abilities of the USA are more limited. The vote in the Iraq has another expected winner. Peace in the Near East is not reached. North Korea explains nuclear weapon possession. A reason to go toward Europe again. Is this happening now an assistance call or an obtainment of support to continue against further “evil” states?

Riedmatten Meissenheim - infinite history part 1

Into a new round are going the negotiations of the planned gravel area. Recognizable are now however already retreat strategies of the operator company and the municipality parliament. An appropriate local council resolution against the gravel quarrying was not changed. Nevertheless the extent of the damage does not appear to be applicable. One moves now toward a questioning and a vote of the citizens over the project. At this point was already the citizen desiring of the citizens initiative “save the Riedmatten” before 2 years by its collection of signatures. At that time the questioning was rejected by the local council. As it would be seen by law at this point a new implicit basis of contracts for operators and municipality was thereby seen developed. Costs transacted from this period are not able to be valid

Sea-quake in Asia

The sea-quake in Asia let move the world together. Where above all was always spoken about the world-wide change and the consequences in the age of the globalisation changed now a disaster the relations of humans to each other. Apart from the enormous donations world-wide the policy seized, how importantly it would be to create a common humanitarian strike force in a “world home policy”. Also the disaster gives a new chance to the UN after the authority loss by the Iraq war. Geologically also a connection exists. Thus the Black Forest raised itself by quake 1 cm and it shifted themselves 2 cm.

Increasing damage by disasters

The year 2004 was already for the insurance economy with 29 billion Euro before the sea-quake in Asia the most expensive natural catastrophe year so far. 25 billion went on the account of hurricanes in the Caribbean Sea, the USA and Japan. In the year 2003 there was only damage of 15 billion Euro. The Sea-quake in Asia will reach the two digit billion-range damage clearly.
