Τι είναι και τι φέρνει η CETA

Μέρος 5ο - Κλίμα: Η συμφωνία θα λειτουργήσει ως επιταχυντής της υπερθέρμανσης του πλανήτη;

«Ισχυρίζεστε ότι ομιλείτε εξ ονόματος των Ευρωπαίων πολιτών, τι θα τους λέγατε όμως, κύριε Γιουνκέρ [Juncker, πρόεδρος της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής], όταν η Επιτροπή θα επιτελέσει τελικά το έργο της για τους ενδοκρινικούς διαταράκτες και τότε η Bayer και η Monsanto θα επιτύχουν την καταδίκη της Ευρώπης για τα ληφθέντα μέτρα; Τι θα λέγατε κύριε Τουσκ [Tusk, πρόεδρος του Ευρωπαϊκού Συμβουλίου], στους Ευρωπαίους πολίτες, όταν η Ευρώπη θα επιτελέσει εκ νέου το καθήκον της ως ηγέτιδα δύναμη για το κλίμα και τότε θα είναι οι καναδικές εταιρείες ασφαλτούχου άμμου, πετρελαίου και σχιστολιθικού αερίου που θα προσβάλλουν δικαστικά την Ευρώπη;» Σε μία παρέμβαση, που προκάλεσε αίσθηση στις 27 Οκτωβρίου στο Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο, ο ευρωβουλευτής των Πρασίνων και υποψήφιος για την προεδρία της Γαλλίας, Yannick Jadot, εξέφρασε τους φόβους των οικολόγων και των υπερασπιζόμενων το περιβάλλον.

Η CETA θα επιτρέψει πράγματι σε πολυεθνικές, μέσω του μηχανισμού επίλυσης διαφορών, να προσβάλλουν δικαστικά ένα κράτος, όταν θα αισθάνονται αδικημένες από κανονιστικές διατάξεις που θα αποφασίζονται, επί παραδείγματι, για το περιβάλλον.

Η Σουηδική Vattenfall που εκμεταλλεύεται δύο εργοστάσια πυρηνικής ενέργειας στη Γερμανία, διεκδικεί ενώπιον διεθνούς δικαστηρίου διαιτησίας στην Ουάσιγκτον, 4,7 δισεκατομμύρια ευρώ από το κράτος, το οποίο ξεκίνησε διαδικασίες απαγκίστρωσης από την πυρηνική ενέργεια έπειτα από την καταστροφή της Φουκουσίμα το 2011.

Ομοίως στην Αργεντινή, που χρειάστηκε να αποζημιώσει με το ποσό των 600 εκατομμυρίων δολλαρίων (567.000.000 ευρώ) αρκετές πολυεθνικές εταιρείες, διότι είχε προβεί σε καθορισμό μεγίστης τιμής πρόσβασης στο νερό και στην ενέργεια.

Οι οργανώσεις προστασίας του περιβάλλοντος ανησυχούν επίσης, ότι η εν λόγω Συνθήκη συμβάλλει «στην υπονόμευση του στόχου » να συγκρατηθεί η αύξηση της θερμοκρασίας του πλανήτη σε επίπεδα κάτω των 2 βαθμών και ει δυνατόν στον 1,5, όπως ορίστηκε με την Συμφωνία των Παρισίων για το κλίμα, η οποία τέθηκε σε ισχύ τον Νοέμβριο 2016. «Κι όπως παραδέχεται η μελέτη επιπτώσεων της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής, η CΕΤΑ θα οδηγήσει σε αύξηση των εκπομπών αερίων του θερμοκηπίου», εκφράζει την ανησυχία της η AITEC.

Μια πρόσφατη έκθεση, «Η CΕΤΑ και το κλίμα», που εκπονήθηκε από τη Γενική Επιτροπή για τη Βιώσιμη Ανάπτυξη και το Οικονομικό Συμβούλιο κάνει αρκετές συστάσεις, ώστε η εφαρμογή της CΕΤΑ να «γίνει κατά τρόπον που να σέβεται όσο το δυνατόν περισσότερο το περιβάλλον».

Netanyahu Is Getting His War Between The U.S. & Iran!

The Jimmy Dore Show   Little progress is being made in negotiations between the United States and Iran over the latter’s nuclear program, and that may be by design. The U.S. is demanding a complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, which is a non-starter for the Iranians. Meanwhile, the U.S. appears to have reneged on a promise to get a ceasefire and humanitarian aid into Gaza in exchange for the release of the last American hostage, so Hamas — and by extension Iran — feel the U.S. cannot be trusted in negotiations. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Israel appears to be orchestrating a U.S. attack on Iran that few Americans have any interest in.    Related: Trump makes key move to beat Biden in their race to start a war with Iran

Trump's attempt to divide Russia & China is failing, badly

Geopolitical Economy Report   Donald Trump claimed he would "un-unite" Russia and China, but the US divide-and-conquer strategy is failing. In a meeting in Moscow celebrating the 80th anniversary of their nations' victory in World War Two, Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin reaffirmed that "China-Russia relations have reached the highest level in history" and will "jointly resist any attempts to interfere with and disrupt the traditional friendship and deep mutual trust between China and Russia". Ben Norton explains.     Related:   Why China supports Russia

Inside Iran's Savak torture museum

The Grayzone   Caution: This report contains depictions of simulated violence that may upset some viewers. Max Blumenthal tours one of the most disturbing museums on the planet. Set in Tehran's former Ebrat Prison run by the anti-sabotage unit of Shah Reza Pahlavi's Savak intelligence services, the museum is filled with shockingly graphic exhibits featuring lifelike mannequins recreating the hideous torture tactics deployed to repress dissidents rebelling against Iran's monarchy. Many mannequins on display represent notorious torturers who either fled or were executed after the Islamic revolution in 1979, while others are modeled after famous prisoners locked away in Ebrat like the current Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamanei.

"Kidnapped in Int'l Waters": Israel Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Ship, Detains Greta Thunberg & Others

Democracy Now!   Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza.    The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.

14,000 babies could die if aid doesn’t enter Gaza in 48 hours, UN warns

Some 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in 48 hours if aid does not reach them in time, the UN’s humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, told the BBC today. Though Israel said it would allow “basic aid” into Gaza, only five trucks entered the enclave yesterday, two carrying shrouds to help bury Palestinians killed in Israel’s bombs. Others were in Gaza, but were being held by occupation forces and had not reached Palestinians. This was the first delivery of aid since 2 March, when Israel completely sealed the enclave. This, Fletcher explained, is a “drop in the ocean” and totally inadequate for a population of over 2.3 million, and for which no aid has been allowed to enter for 80 days.    “Tonnes of food is blocked at the [Gaza] border” by Israel, Director General of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said yesterday. This comes just weeks after the UN agency of Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) warned that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians eat only one mea...

Never, Ever Let Anyone Forget What They Did To Gaza

by Caitlin Johnstone   I will never forget the Gaza holocaust. I will never let anyone else forget about the Gaza holocaust. No matter what happens or how this thing turns out, I will never let anyone my voice touches forget that our rulers did the most evil things imaginable right in front of us and lied to us about it the entire time. I will never stop doing everything I can with my own small platform to help ensure that the perpetrators of this mass atrocity are brought to justice. I will never stop doing everything I can to help bring down the western empire and to help free Palestine from the Zionist entity. I will never forget those shaking children. Those tiny shredded bodies. Those starved, skeletal forms. The explosions followed by screams. The atrocities followed by western media silence.   I will never forget, and I will never forgive. I will never forgive our leaders. I will never forgive the western press. I will never forgive Israel. I will never forgive the main...

They Will Starve You In A Killing Cage Too

by Nate Bear   Starvation is taking hold in Gaza. Twenty-nine people have starved to death in the last few days.  Death by starvation is horrific, the body feeding on itself, first consuming carbohydrates and fats, and then moving on to the protein parts of tissue. Once these are used up, vital organs and tissues start to fail as they aren’t being nourished by essential nutrients. The heart, lungs, muscles, ovaries, testes and brain physically shrink and shrivel. The kidneys start to fail. Eventually the body begins scavenging muscle, including the heart muscle. When this starts to happen, death is hours away, preceded by hallucinations, severe mental disturbances and convulsions. With less stored fat and higher metabolic needs, children die first. Starving parents hold their dying children, at this point nothing but skin and bone, in their arms. Adults can survive anywhere between twenty and forty days without food. Those already weak, chronically ill or immuno-compromised di...
