Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,
soeben erghalten wir als Gewerkschafter/Innen-Arbeitskreis (AK) eine aktuelles Info-Potpourri des Kollegen Wolfgang Erbe (http://www.ak-gewerkschafter.de/?s=wolfgang+erbe).
Darin ist der Jahresbericht des Wehrbeauftragten der Bundeswehr enthalten. Dieser beinhaltet, dass die Sexuelle Belästigung bei der Bundeswehr deutlich zunimmt. Ferner bringt Wolfgang darin die Vermutung zur Kenntnis, dass US Truppen auf dem Weg nach Venezuela seien?
Wir haben das komplette Info-Potpourri nachstehend zu Eurer gefgälligen Kenntnisnahme auf unsere Homepage gepostet.
Für den AK Manni ngelhardt -Koordinator-
„Meldepflichtige Ereignisse“ im Bereich Sexismus steigen um 23 Prozent. Auch sonst zeichnet der Wehrbeauftragte Bartels ein katastrophales Bild der Bundeswehr.

Fuck You, Dying American Empire:
Reflections of an Aging Anti-Imperialist
by Jonah Raskin
Last year at Jamia Millia Islamia Central University in New Delhi, India I met students and teachers who thought that it was cool that I’d written an anti-imperialist book and that it was still in print nearly fifty years after it was first published. It was easy to be an anti-imperialist at Jamia Millia. After all, the students and the teachers were anti-imperialists and all worked-up about U.S. drones, U.S. air strikes and about the Syrians on the ground who had been battered and bombed.
It was also relatively easy to be an anti-imperialist in the late 1960s and early 1970s when anti-imperialism was a red badge of courage in SDS, the Venceremos Brigade, in anti-war circles and even among the Yippies, who were far more internationalist in their outlook than many on the Left assumed.
In the 1890s, German immigrant Carl Schurz worried that a pernicious element in American national mythology — military expansionism — was regaining traction. A member of the Anti-Imperialist League, Schurz rallied against the powerful lobby clamoring to make Cuba and the Philippines part of the United States.Like many anti-imperialists then and now, he objected to the actions of US elites abroad on moral and ethical grounds. But as someone who lived through the political upheaval of the American Civil War, Schurz had a unique perspective on imperialism’s revival: it was also a betrayal of the Union cause.
He saw the militaristic foreign policy of the 1890s as a return to the politics of “Slave Power,” which he had fought so hard against forty years earlier.
Schurz was a Forty-Eighter, seasoned from the revolutionary upheavals in the German states. During the brutal counterrevolution that followed, he singled out the United States as a vital ally to democratic movements around the world
