„Haben Sie einen Knick in der Optik?“
Rechtsanwalt Eisenberg gibt sich gar nicht erst die Mühe, seinen Unmut zu verhehlen. „Sie sind vielleicht ein Zeuge“, blafft er den Polizeibeamten an. „Haben Sie einen Knick in der Optik?“ Eisenberg fordert die Vereidigung des Zeugen, doch der Vorsitzende Richter Stein lehnt ab. „Sie werden noch von mir hören“, wendet sich Eisenberg an den Polizisten. „Vor Gericht muss man nämlich die Wahrheit sagen. Gerade als Bundespolizist hat man eine Vorbildfunktion.“

”Der Kern der kommunalen Selbstverwaltung ist die Daseinsvorsorge und -fürsorge für die Bürger. Die Kommune hat sich darum zu kümmern, das Bürger mit Wohnraum, Energie, Wasser oder auch einer vernünftigen Infrastruktur versorgt werden. Die Stadtverwaltung existiert nur, damit dieses Gemeinwesen zum Wohle der Bürger in einer Stadt funktioniert.” So äußert sich der Jenaer Rechtsanwalt für Sozialrecht in Jena Kai-Uwe Haase im Gespräch mit Jenapolis.
Wenn der Bürger zum Bittsteller bei der Verwaltung wird, läuft einfach was schief.

Pressemitteilung des Bundesgerichtshofs vom 28.05.13
„Das Landgericht hat seine Entscheidung dabei auf mehrere Indiztatsachen gestützt. So sei das Risikomanagement der Fonds mehrfach interner oder externer Überprüfung unterzogen worden, wobei keiner der Prüfer auf eine Existenzbedrohung der IBG hingewiesen hätte. Ebenso habe das Bankkonsortium zweimal eine Kapitalerhöhung durchgeführt und sich ab 1998 intensiv bemüht, das Risikocontrolling der Fonds weiter zu verbessern. Aus diesen Umständen konnte das Landgericht ohne Rechtsverstoß den Schluss ziehen, dass die Angeklagten nicht vorsätzlich gehandelt haben, weil sie weder die Dimension der Vermögensgefährdung erkannt noch einen möglichen Schadenseintritt billigend in Kauf genommen haben“.

Music isn’t the only room LFD houses. Its official website is devised into three separate sections: Music. Art. Skate. In speaking exclusively with Collver, he diverged into what inspired him into branching out from what his imprint is most known for and working through different mediums.
The founders hatched the idea for Infragram after shooting images of the damage caused to Texan wetlands and coastlines by BP‘s Deepwater Horizon oil spill in July 2010. The principle relies on the fact that red light is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis but infrared is not – so healthy plant life should reflect a lot of near infrared light. But if pollution has caused a die back, that won‘t be the case.

Als die Südkontinente auseinander drifteten, brach die tasmanische Landbrücke auseinander. Mit weit reichenden Folgen: Bis dahin war der Austausch von Wassermassen zwischen südwestlichem Pazifik und dem Indischem Ozean unterbunden gewesen. Jetzt hatten die Meeresströmungen, zumindest im obersten Ozeanstockwerk freie Bahn. Der antarktische Zirkumpolarstrom war geboren, der noch heute den sechsten Kontinent in einem breiten Strömungsband umschließt.

(1. Januar 2011) Die Währungen der westafrikanischen Staaten sollen nach glänzendem Vorbild des Euro zum “Eco” verschmolzen werden. Der schon 1993 durch die Ecowas gefällte Beschluss – ein Jahr nach der Gründung der EU in Europa – wurde 2004 auf unbestimmte Zeit verschoben. Nigeria ist allerdings bereit Mitglied im Vorläufer der geplanten Eco-Zone Westafrika: der “Westafrikanischen Währungszone” (WAMZ).

THE Senate has warned that the eventual drying up of the Lake Chad will displace over 30 million people in four countries sharing border, including Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon.
It also warned that such an occurence, if not prevented, would plunge the West African sub-region into unprecedented ecological and humanitarian crises, with far-reaching global consequences.
The lake is also envisaged to recede to less than 1, 000 square kilometres and be a colossal ecological disaster by 2025.With such frighteningly figures the recent Baga incident is actually well beyond a security challenge gone awry. It is rather a deeply socio-economic crisis situation finding an outlet as religious extremism affecting 30 million people across multiple borders of people from the same main ethnic stock all formerly integral of the Kanem-Borno empire which no multi-national joint security force no matter how well trained or equipped can contain but rather will continue to compound in a cyclic phenomenon of endless reprisals and counter reprisals.

In reality the coup d’état already took place many, many years ago when the political parties, which are essentially private associations, occupied everything, namely the institutions, the government, the State Presidency, the Regional administrations, the municipalities, the municipal companies, the parastatals the RAI and to a certain extent even the newspapers, the spas, the conservatories and the theatres.

The latest grand projet of the French rational mind, the EU, is now coming apart at the seams.

Im Mai 1974 wurden acht Teilnehmer einer antifaschistischen Demonstration in Brescia durch einen Anschlag mit Handgranaten umgebracht. Am 4. August 1974 kamen im Bahnhof San Benedetto Sambro-Castiglione Pepoli bei einem Bombenanschlag auf den Italicus Express, den Nachtschnellzug Rom–München, 12 Menschen ums Leben, 48 wurden darüber hinaus verletzt.
Die Anschläge wurden von den ermittelnden Behörden stets fälschlicherweise linksextremen Terroristen (vor allem den Roten Brigaden) zugeordnet, erst in den 90er Jahren wurden die wahren Attentäter überführt und vor Gericht gestellt. Ausgehend von einem Prozess gegen Vinciguerra wegen der Peteano-Morde stellte sich in mehreren Gerichtsverfahren und parlamentarischen Untersuchungen heraus, dass die treibenden Kräfte hinter den Attentaten Teile der Geheimdienstorganisation Gladio sowie die Geheimloge Propaganda Due waren.
