Wann kommt die neue USPD?
(13.01.2011) Alle selbsterklärten linken, sozialistischen und kommunistischen Gruppen, die sich vor kurzem auf der Rosa Luxemburg Konferenz der Parteizeitung “Junge Welt” einfanden (die ohne die Werbeanzeigen der Partei-Linken einfach nicht leben kann) beziehen sich auf eine politische Kämpferin des letzten und vorletzten Jahrhunderts, die vor ihnen ausspucken würde, wenn es sie vor Entsetzen über diese Verräter und Versager nach neun Jahren Attentaten und Krieg, Sozialraub und Ausverkauf an die Banken, nach Nichtstuerei und Heuchelei im Angesicht von Polizeistaat und Kapitalismus aus ihrem Grab reissen würde, an dem die Parteibonzen, Gewerkschaftsfunktionäre, Anwälte und gelernten Mehrheitspolitiker Gregor Gysi, Klaus Ernst, Gesine Lötzsch und Oskar Lafontaine jedes Jahr ihre Kränze niederlegen.

The M5S is cutting their own salaries, perhaps the PD will too: #BersaniFalliFirmare
The parliamentary income of the citizen spokesperson of the MoVimento 5 Stelle {5 Star MoVement} will be 5 thousand euro gross a month, instead of 11,283 euro gross received by all the other parliamentarians. The rest of the money will be left with the State together with the solidarity cheque (or the one for the end of the term of office). That’s not news. The M5S has already done this in the regions where it is participating, like in Sicily. Thanks to the M5S, the saving for the State coffers will be more than 12 million a year.

Berlusconi’s uveitis and the Italians’ orchitis
Berlusconi is afraid of ending up like Bottino Craxi, but really he would be lucky to do so. Fleeing to the beaches of Tunisia full of people like Ruby without having the daily killjoys of his hangers-on. Without Ghedini, Alfano, Gelmini, without Biondi, Gasparri, Cicchitto, Brunetta and above all D’Alema. A paradise on earth. Let him get himself convicted as soon as possible without any mitigating circumstances and, before he’s arrested, go into hiding.
Details Come Out On US Attorneys Withholding Evidence In Aaron Swartz Case
Last week, we wrote about Aaron Swartz‘s girlfriend, Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman, releasing a statement accusing the DOJ of a variety of things that hadn‘t really been covered before, including lying, seizing evidence without a warrant and withholding exculpatory evidence. That resulted in an interesting discussion in the comments, in which a few DOJ defenders suggested that since there were no details, we were probably making this up (as if we don‘t have better things to do). Now, however, the details have come out. In a letter that was sent at the end of January (but just now leaked to the press), Swartz‘s lawyers highlight how Assistant US Attorney Steve Heymann was responsible for the charges above.
An identity crisis for Blair: Former PM describes Jerusalem as ‚home‘
(12.04.2009) Indeed, The Mail on Sunday can disclose that he faces growing criticism from senior figures at the United Nations for not spending enough time on his role as head of the Quartet, the foursome of the US, Russia, the EU and the UN tasked with building peace in the Middle East.
They say they are unhappy about the time Mr Blair devotes to the lucrative international lecture circuit and to lobbying to become the first permanent president of the EU.

Enraged protesters battle cops in Brooklyn streets during third night of rioting after it‘s revealed that 16-year-old Kimani Gray was shot in the back
Many in the community contest police allegations that Gray pointed a gun at cops when he was shot during a confrontation with two plainclothes officers on E. 52nd St. Saturday night. Those suspicions on the street intensified Wednesday when an autopsy report revealed Gray was hit by seven bullets — three to the back.

Director Of National Intelligence Admits That There‘s Little Risk Of A ‚Cyber Pearl Harbor‘
We‘ve been pointing out for years that all the talk about „cyberattacks“ and „cybersecurity“ appear to be FUD, mostly designed to scare up money for „defense“ contractors looking for a new digital angle. And yet, we keep seeing fear-mongering report after fear mongering report insisting that we‘re facing imminent threats of such a dire nature that multiple people keep referring to this ridiculous concept of the „cyber Pearl Harbor“ which is going to happen any day now if we don‘t pass vaguely worded bills that will surely ramp up huge contracts.
Manning: US Army like ‘child torturing ants with a magnifying glass’ (FULL LEAKED TESTIMONY)
Manning justifies his actions with a firm belief that what he identifies as US government wrongdoings need to be exposed in order to “spark a domestic debate on the role of the military and our foreign policy in general as it related to Iraq and Afghanistan.”
In the recording he goes on to accuse the army of “not valu[ing] human life,“ comparing servicemen „to a child torturing ants with a magnifying glass.“
‘Manning testimony recording could be a direct leak from the government’
He chose cables and videos that had no national security concerns and he released them so we could have this conversation. And I think it is a disgrace every day that he is in jail. It is a disgrace to our military. It is a disgrace to the promises that Obama made in 2008.
