Wie die Bundesrepublik jahrelang Doping förderte

Anabolika, Testosteron, Östrogen, Epo: Über Jahrzehnte wurden in der Bundesrepublik leistungssteigernde Mittel erforscht und an Sportler verteilt.

Snowden-Affäre: “Europäische Institutionen müssen die Kontrolle der Dateninfrastruktur übernehmen”

(24.Juni. Nochmal: 24.Juni.) Kurz erklärt: meiner Ansicht nach lässt Big Brother locker, aber trainiert gerade seine kleinen Brüder. Ändern soll sich gar nichts, nicht für uns, auf der niedrigsten Stufe des imperialen Treppchens. Im Gegenteil, ich vermute, der Plan ist alles noch schlimmer zu machen und die bisher unter der A.U.M.F. (und dem Patriot Act) nach U.S.-Recht scheinlegitimierte Spionage nun in der (und durch) die “Europäische Union” “legalisieren” zu lassen. Das wäre nach dem Grundgesetz natürlich weiter illegal. Aber welche Regierungsbehörde, welche Partei, welche Organisation, ja welches Gericht in Deutschland hat sich denn in den letzten Jahren an unsere Verfassung gehalten bzw diese verteidigt? Das kümmert die alle doch einen Dreck. Und jetzt stehen sie wieder da und erzählen Müll. Und diese Pseudo-”Bürgerrechtler” von “Europa”.

Bürgerkrieg?

ES IST jetzt Mode zu sagen: “Die Zweistaatenlösung ist tot”. Oder: “Die Zeit für die Zweistaatenlösung läuft ab.”

Warum tot? Wie tot? Das gehört zu den Dingen, die man nicht zu beweisen braucht. Es genügt, wenn man sie sagt.

Lawmakers seek banning swear words from social networks and blogs

Ruslan Gattarov from the Federation Council upper house of parliament reminds the readers that attempts had already been made to ban foul language in the most popular blog – Live Journal, but it turned out that the Russian language is too mighty, and resists machine verification. It is enough to add a suffix to the radical for the system not to consider this a swear word. That is why foul words are banned in Live Journal only in headlines. One can also add letters to words or omit them, or change their places, replace radicals. This will only make obscenities funnier and fruitier, while the whole control would be for nothing.

NSA controversy gives unfamiliar allies impetus for and against reform

There are very few issues in Congress that unite Tea Party Republicans with the more left-wing Democrats.
