35 year sentence proves US will aggressively prosecute those who expose war crimes, and diligently protect those who commit them – Published on Common Dreams (also on Zcom), by Jon Queally, August 21, 2013.

Denise Lind on Wednesday was met with swift condemnation in the U.S. and across the globe with progressives and supporters of the army whistleblower calling the sentence a clear miscarriage of justice.   Continue Reading…

Go read No Banker Left Behind at the NYTimes. Let us recap, shall we?

The bankers, who had all of their bonuses protected and bailed out with our federal tax dollars when they blew up the world because people like Larry Summers argued that it was unfair to violate their compensation contracts, are bearing down on Detroit to pay outrageous sums of money on ill-advised derivatives transactions that will result in innocent Detroit municipal employees forfeiting up to 90% of their pensions.   Continue Reading…

Why Eliot Spitzer Is Wall Street’s Worst Nightmare – Published on Dissident Voice, by Ellen Hodgson Brown, August 19, 2013.

Before Eliot Spitzer’s infamous resignation as governor of New York in March 2008, he was one of our fiercest champions against Wall Street corruption, in a state that had some of the toughest legislation for controlling the banks. It may not be a coincidence that the revelation of his indiscretions with a high-priced call girl came less than a month after he published a bold editorial in the Washington Post titled “Predatory Lenders’ Partner in Crime: How the Bush Administration Stopped the States from Stepping in to Help Consumers.”   Continue Reading…

a new blog, to replace my Heidi-Barathieu-Brun Blog witch got a virus alert (same stuff with Mein privater Garten), but both alerts are only detected by AVAST Premier-Antivirus. All other antiviruses do not give any alert. I was suggested that the alert is included into/given by AVAST itself (they would make their own politics in this way, protesting against/not agreeing with my HBB-blog), as I got it the day I put this post:
2013-07-09: Let Your Life Be a Friction to Stop the Machine (originally on Dissident Voice, or also on YouTube, 22.52 min, uploaded by ClassWarFilms). The infection: HTML:Iframe-inf.

Any correspondence with AVAST ends up in a FAQ-sheet to find myself the solution (5x), but this damned sheet DOES NOT writes about my problem.

My website provider (Infomaniak) detects NO virus, same do all friends having another antivirus than AVAST.

The provider tells me to disable my antivirus as the only way to stop any alert.

Now, I decide to let it activated, to permit me to know which of my blogs is attacked (by avast).

So, you can look at my Heidi Barathieu-Brun Blog and at Mein privater Garten Blog without danger, as long as you do not run the AVAST Antivirus program.
