Die neuen Verträge sind in der jetzigen Form für die Lehrer unzumutbar und müssen umgehend überarbeitet und nachgebessert werden. (…)
Insgesamt bedeuten die Folgen, die sich aus den neuen Verträgen ergeben, eine deutliche Verschlechterung der wirtschaftlichen Situation der Lehrer und u.a. durch den erhöhten bürokratischen Aufwand eine Verschlechterung der allgemeinen Arbeitsbedingungen.

Adaledge – Lionest
from Daniel Lofredo Rota
all intruders welcome
to where rules are boundless
and there is no end to it.
The world of ideas, the world of abstraction, emotion and feeling– dreams within dreams within dreams; humans are so physical, yet so ephemeral. time is a broken record, and everything that will ever happen, is happening right now.
in a world so pluridimensional, truth is a white rabbit–elusive, vanishing from your fingers when you thought you had gripped it whole.
This video and all the clips within were made for Adaledge By Daniel Lofredo Rota.

Friedensutopien
jedes Mal, wo bürgerliche Politiker die Idee des Europäertums, des Zusammenschlusses europäischer Staaten auf den Schild erhoben, da war es mit einer offenen oder stillschweigenden Spitze gegen die „gelbe Gefahr“, gegen den „schwarzen Weltteil“, gegen die „minderwertigen Rassen“, kurz, es war stets eine imperialistische Mißgeburt. ..
Ebenso wie wir stets den Pangermanismus, den Panslawismus, den Panamerikanismus als reaktionäre Ideen bekämpfen, ebenso haben wir mit der Idee des Paneuropäertums nicht das geringste zu schaffen.

Brendan Simms: Can Angela Merkel forge a United States of Europe?
In June 1900, the British commander of the international expeditionary force against the Chinese Boxers, Admiral Seymour, found himself in a bit of a fix. He exhorted the Kaiser’s contingent to come to his aid with the immortal words “The Germans to the front”, words that went around the world.
A “United States of Europe” to save the Eurozone?
Although this is a longstanding idea, Victor Hugo’s tree of wishes may still have to grow a bit before the “United States of Europe” (USE) becomes a real project in the mind of the EU. While President of the European Commission (EC) José Manuel Barroso is encouraging a union of this type, others like the French and German governments are more reluctant.

The profits of the scientific enterprise can be measured not only in gains in knowledge, but also in the currency of capitalism.
The Roadmap to the Destruction of Syria
by PEPE ESCOBAR
The question is why did it take so long. The destruction of Syria – as conceptualized by Sheikh Nasrallah – with the West once more collaborating with jihadi gangs, has been in the cards for years. See how Seymour Hersh outlined it in 2007. And see how badly the bipartisan Washington establishment craves regime change.

FBI Didn‘t Even Inform Fusion Center About Tamerlan Tsarnaev
Last year we noted that a Congressional investigation revealed that Homeland Security‘s „anti-terrorism fusion centers“ were a complete joke. They created no useful intelligence, even though they cost a ton of taxpayer money, and they regularly violated American‘s civil liberties. In the wake of the Boston bombings, then, it might be useful to wonder how much the local fusion centers were involved in the process — especially since the FBI had been aware of Tamerlan Tsarnaev and had interviewed him. Well… it turns out that the FBI didn‘t bother to share that with the fusion center.
This Is My Pencil. This Is My Pencil Pretending To Be A Gun. One Is For Writing. One Is For Mandatory Suspensions.
A majority of human beings would look at two 7-year-old boys pretending their pencils are guns and say something about „boys being boys“ or „someone‘s going to poke their eye out“ and leave it at that. Those who craft and enforce zero tolerance policies see something more sinister.

Court Ruling Gives FBI Too Much Leeway on Surveillance Technology
The ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed an amicus brief arguing that when the government wants to use invasive surveillance technology, it has an obligation to explain to the court basic information about the technology, such as its impact on innocent third parties. This is necessary to ensure that courts can perform their constitutional function of ensuring that the search does not violate the Fourth Amendment. Unfortunately, today’s decision trivializes the intrusive nature of electronic searches and potentially opens the door to troubling government misuse of new technology.
