    1. BP, Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil et TotalEnergies werden an ihre Aktionäre für das Jahr 2023 mehr als 100 Milliarden Dollar Dividenden auszahlen und damit den Rekord des Vorjahres noch übertreffen. Ursachen für die Rekordprofite sind der Krieg in der Ukraine und die Umwälzungen auf den Weltenergiemärkten. Die Konzerne gehen weiterhin von der Profitabilität ihres Geschäfts aus. Weltweit leiden ärmere Haushalte unter den gestiegenen Energiekosten. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/climat/industries-fossiles-les-petroliers-arrosent-leurs-actionnaires-de-dividendes-records-20240102_KETOFCVOT5ANLNWCBWMGNYOE7I/

Der Deal soll einen auch symbolisch wichtigen Konflikt beenden, bei dem konservative und reaktionäre politische Kräfte die Bauern unterstützt hatten, die illegal Wasser für Erdbeer- und Himbeer-Anbau verwendet haben. Die spanische Umweltministerin Teresa Ribeira erklärt ausführlich Prinzipien einer Green transition, die so durchgeführt wird, dass die Lebensbedingungen in einer Region verbessert werden und die Bevölkerung sie unterstützt. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/27/spain-environment-minister-hails-andalucia-wetlands-deal-green-transition

    1. West is by far the most unequivocal in his denunciation of the Democratic and Republican parties as dominated by big money and corporate wealth. He is no less emphatic in his condemnation of Israeli occupation and domination of Palestinians, and in his condemnation of the militarization of American foreign policy.
