Time for the mind

Recently published the 1977 reasoned initiative Nachrichtenaufklärung modeled on the US-American "Project Censored" a list of the ten top issues that did not learn enough consideration in media coverage over the past year.

They are:

1. Emergency in the hospital: let alone long-term care
2. Psychiatry: Federal Government bends cope UN Convention
3. War reporting distracts from civilian peace strategies
4. Unlawful use of police violence
5. Gaps in financial supervision in churches
6. Inadequate declaration of addition of iodine in food
7. Patents on human genes and gene sequences
8. Schools for the deaf not teach sign language
9. Lack of control German arms exports
10. Hazardous waste during construction and renovation

More information on these topics can be found on www.nachrichtenaufklaerung.de .

Has brought the hit list based on proposals that could be submitted on the above page. Of the nominated proposals are then adopted 20 shortlisted before then identities of the final ten topics.

What I miss urgent in the lineup:

• Attempts at censorship: Internet censorship under the guise of protection against child pornography
• Monitoring: data retention, wiretaps, cameras in cities etc.
• Lobbying: unhealthy mercantile adhesions between business, science and politics
• Lisbon Treaty: democracy decline by increased power of the EU
• Basic security: basic income instead of Hartz IV
• Bankers & Co .: uncovering the truth about the financial crisis
• Use of uranium munitions in Afghanistan and other war zones: Radioactive damage to the heritage of generations
• Swine Flu: waste of taxpayer money through hasty bulk purchase of vaccines by the Federal Government
• ...

Other additions are welcome as comments.
