Brave new continent
the chasm between European elites and the public has never been as wide in the postwar period as it is today. The average voter in southern Europe does not feel represented by Eurocrats like Jose Manuel Barroso and Olli Rehn, German Foreign Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble or other Eurogroup officials. He has never voted for them, they have never spoken to him, he does not share their ask-no-questions mentality. The distance between elites and ordinary people was made evident by recent elections in Italy.

Change is happening now, but the political class hasn’t yet understood that we’re not just another party of destruction seeking to replace the old ones. The Movement is a shift in mentality, culture and society.

Falsche Wahrheiten über Zypern
Die Entscheidung der politischen und ökonomischen Elite der Republik Zypern, das Land in ein regionales Finanz- und Wirtschaftszentrum zu verwandeln, wurde bereits in den 1980er Jahren getroffen. Diese wirtschaftspolitische Neuorientierung zielte schon deswegen nicht auf das russische Kapital, weil es so etwas gar nicht gab. Schließlich existierte damals noch die Sowjetunion.

SPD-Parteitag in Augsburg: Bittere Wahrheiten für die Sozialdemokraten
Bei den schlechten Umfragewerten weiß man am Rande des Augsburger Parteitags gar nicht, wer hier eigentlich wen unterstützen muss. Die Bundes-SPD die eher unstarke Bayern-SPD? Oder sogar andersherum?
Umfragetief: SPD verliert vor Parteitag weiter an Boden
Die Partei sei „durchaus überzeugt, dass man Wahlen gewinnen kann, wenn man mobilisiert und läuft und kämpft“. Dies habe sie zuletzt in Niedersachsen und bei der Oberbürgermeisterwahl in Wiesbaden bewiesen:
Grundgesetz: “Wahlen und Abstimmungen”. S.P.D.: Verfassungsänderung “notwendig”.
Die “Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands” fordert in ihrem Wahlkampf-Programm für die Bundestagswahl 2013 (“Das Wir entscheidet”) eine angeblich “notwendige Grundgesetzänderung”, um “Volksinitiativen, Volksbegehren und Volksentscheide” in der Republik “einzuführen”. Den Begriff Volksabstimmung vermeidet die Verräterpartei peinlichst. So ein Zufall.
Man nennt es Enteignung

Detention
While the government has the right, under the laws of war, to detain prisoners captured on the battlefield until the end of hostilities, no president should have the power to declare the entire globe a war zone and then seize and detain civilian terrorism suspects anywhere in the world — including within the United States — and to hold them forever without charge or trial.

The Fort Bragg murders: is Jeffrey MacDonald innocent?
The killings that took place in the early hours of that morning and their protracted aftermath have cast an ever-lengthening shadow over not just America‘s criminal justice system – it is the longest-running criminal case in US history – but also its national media.
