The evidence Erdoğan was referring to was a video of a press conference by Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and French philosopher and author Bernard-Henri Levy.
A video of the two, dating back to 2011, shows Levy saying: „If the Muslim Brotherhood arrives in Egypt, I will not say democracy wants it, so let democracy progress. Democracy is not only elections, it is also values.“
Turkish PM tells members of his party Ankara has proof Israel behind ouster of Islamist President Morsi
Media reports that suggest the United States has cut off aid to Egypt are not accurate, a White House spokesman said on Tuesday, adding that the Obama administration is still reviewing its options.
Danach muss es laut Verfassung innerhalb von 60 Tagen Neuwahlen geben. Zeman hat sich bereits für den 25. und 26. Oktober ausgesprochen.
That’s another post, the third or fourth of the last two days I want to start with a big sigh and whisper “Oh, dear!”.
“Dear, dearest parliamentarians (yes you are so dear, you have cost me so much) if I’m here today it’s to tell you to fxxk off. Sure, that’s not the kind of language I tend to use, I who am accustomed to elegant dinners, however I am expressing what I think of you from the depth of my heart.“
In an interview with newspaper La Repubblica published Tuesday, former Democratic Party (PD) chair Rosy Bindi called on Berlusconi to resign, which she claimed could open the way to a presidential pardon for his main penalty.
John Yoo, of course, is somewhat infamous for being the author of the so-called „Torture Memos,“ while he was Deputy US Attorney General for President George W. Bush, giving the Bush administration a horrific legal „justification“ for torture. It‘s no surprise, of course, that he‘s been spewing ignorant and ridiculous claims concerning other issues as well.
Hindsight being 217-205 and all that, but one of the reps voting for Justin Amash‘s NSA-defunding amendment has noted that had last Thursday‘s revelation of widespread domestic spying broken a little earlier, the amendment would have sailed through easily.
For all the claims that the nine-hour detention of David Miranda was going to be „looked into,“ the Home Office seems to have already arrived at its conclusion: completely justified.
Buried in a Reuters report about the UK government‘s ridiculous decision to force the Guardian to destroy some hard drives with Snowden-related materials, is the fact that the reporter got a US official to admit that the detention of Glenn Greenwald‘s partner, David Miranda, was all about „sending a message“ to anyone who had the Snowden documents:
Die Entscheidung der britischen Regierung, Glenn Greenwalds Partner David Miranda neun ganze Stunden lang nach dem Terrorismusgesetz festzuhalten, wurde allgemein verurteilt, wobei Glenn Greenwald diese als „misslungenen Versuch der Einschüchterung“ bezeichnete. Diese Entscheidung war dermassen bizarr, dass sie eine signifikante Gegenbewegung hervorrief.
Serious concerns have been raised tonight about the punishing hours endured by interns at City investment banks following the death of a young Bank of America Merrill Lynch employee.
Moritz Erhardt, 21, was nearing the end of a seven-week internship in London when he collapsed at home after working until 6am for three days in a row.
Die sogenannte No-Fly-Liste – auf der Personen stehen, gegen die in den USA Terrorverdacht besteht – und eine Selectee-Liste. Passagiere, die auf Letzterer stehen, sollen auf US-Geheiß besonders durchgecheckt werden. Fluglinien, die gegen die Auflagen verstoßen, müssen mit Geldstrafen rechnen.
125 Jahre nach seiner Errichtung soll der Dom im rheinischen Immerath dem Erdboden gleichgemacht werden. Die Kirche muss dem Braunkohletagebau weichen, so wie der ganze Ort. Nur das Verfassungsgericht könnte die Bagger noch stoppen.
In the ongoing legal battle between craigslist and 3taps, a new court opinion makes clear that people are „authorized“ under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) to access a public website. But what the court gave with one hand it took with the other, as it also ruled that sending a cease-and-desist letter and blocking an IP address is enough to „revoke“ this authorization.
(23.7.2013) „Internet filtering is not the job of governments or service providers,“ she added.
„People must be able to make their own choices about what they and their children can access online and offline.“
Mijatovic said there were better ways for governments to protect children, citing the criminal justice system, Internet literacy training and education as examples.
„Mich beunruhigt diese Situation. Ich habe gestern meine Gefühle in einem Brief an die britischen Behörden geäußert. (…) Menschen, die sich mit Journalismus befassen, müssen frei und ungehindert arbeiten können. Darin besteht die Meinungsfreiheit“, so Mijatović. Der Kampf gegen den Terrorismus sei wichtig, dürfe jedoch weder die Arbeit der Medien behindern noch Kritik unterdrücken. Laut Mijatović müssen Guardian-Journalisten die ihnen vorliegenden Enthüllungen über US-Spähaktionen weiter veröffentlichen.
Phyllis Schneck will take the position of Deputy Under Secretary for Cybersecurity for the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD), which has four divisions that oversee physical and cybersecurity for U.S. infrastructure. She will be the Department of Homeland Security‘s chief cybersecurity policy official, occupying a position created in 2011.
Amid a wave of constant cyberattacks, the U.S. government has stepped up its efforts to protect its own networks as well as encourage private companies such as utilities to ensure their systems are not vulnerable to remote attacks.
Israel‘s Shin Bet security service has created a unit to focus on what it said was the growing terrorist threat from Egypt‘s Sinai desert.
Wir haben Annie Machon getroffen—Whistleblowerin und Ex-Agentin des britischen Inlandsgeheimdienstes MI5. Sie hat uns erklärt, weshalb wir NSA und BND nicht vertrauen sollten, wie es sich anfühlt, vor Geheimdiensten und Behörden auf der Flucht zu sein, und warum es falsch wäre, nicht mehr über die Machenschaften von NSA und BND zu sprechen. Stattdessen fordert sie eine öffentliche Grundsatzdebatte über den Sinn von Geheimdiensten und ihren Befugnissen.
Natürlich hat man beim britischen Geheimdienst schon mal was von Sicherungskopien gehört. Aber die offensichtliche Unsinnigkeit solcher Aktionen macht das Verhalten der Behörden noch abstoßender. Offenbar geht es ihnen schlicht um Einschüchterung. Solche Ereignisse verortet man sonst eher in Russland.
Wir Deutschen können da natürlich erst mal nur zusehen. Aber diese passive Rolle wäre verfehlt. Hier handeln unsere geschätzten und zuverlässigen Partner. Jedenfalls sind sie dies aus Sicht der Bundesregierung.
The Social Democrats would not invite the Communists, who oppose NATO membership, to enter a coalition government with them, Sobotka said.
„We are proponents of European integration and we are proponents of our membership in the NATO.“
“We found a priest, let’s bury five to six.” That’s a Greek expression pointing to chances that shouldn’t be missed. Like in case of idiots, who are willing to take one bailout after the other.
Odom described the most severe injury as a gunshot to the face that „appears to have entered through the left side inside of his mouth and exited the left face, lower face.“
„He has multiple gunshot wounds, the most severe of which appears to have entered through the left side inside of his mouth and exited the left face, lower face. This was a high-powered injury that has resulted in skull-base fracture,“ Dr Stephen Ray Odom of Beth Israel Medical Center testified on 22 April, according to court papers unsealed late Monday.
wie gruselig, der Telegraph hat was, und zwar ein „der Guardian soll sich mal nicht so haben“. Damit ist die Super-Injunction als Option vom Tisch und ich muss annehmen, dass die BBC das in der Tat für nicht wichtig genug hält, um darüber zu berichten. WTF!? Das erschüttert doch die Grundfesten der Arbeit als Journalist! Wie kann das sein, dass die Journalisten in England nicht alle auf den Barrikaden sind?!
Die Schikanen gegen die NSA-Enthüller beim „Guardian“ sind der Beweis, dass die britische Regierung im Kampf gegen den Terror jedes Maß verloren hat. Widerstand ist nicht zu erwarten – die Zeitung steht weitgehend allein.
It was a red line that even the Mubarak regime would not cross – the arrest of the General Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood. The organisation itself was outlawed and tens of thousands of Muslim Brotherhood members were imprisoned in the Mubarak years – but the detention of the General Guide himself was apparently never contemplated as it was regarded as too incendiary an act.
Former vice president accused of „betraying national trust“ because of resignation after crackdown on Morsi supporters.

Polen regt beispielsweise Forschungen zur elektronischen Überwachung mit Richtmikrofonen an. Die Tschechische Republik will automatische Systeme zur Nummernschilderkennung von Fahrzeugen EU-weit vereinheitlichen und die phonetische Suche in Polizeidatenbanken verbessern. Zu den Wünschen aus Prag gehört auch die Auswertung der Videoüberwachung zur Suche nach Personen in Echtzeit, wie es etwa im EU-Forschungsprojekt INDECT beforscht wird. Begründet wird der Bedarf mit dem “Verfolgen vermisster Kinder”. Großbritannien setzt sich für mehr Technologien zum ferngesteuerten Kontrollieren von Fahrzeugen ein, wie sie auch im “Leitfaden zum Datenzugriff” der Generalstaatsanwaltschaft München beschrieben werden. Schweden möchte mehr polizeiliche Drohnen einsetzen.

Es ist ein bisschen wie in Ben Hur. Nur tragen wir keine Armbanduhren.
(10.Juli 2013)Talks between China and the United States on cyber security, overshadowed by revelations of U.S. electronic surveillance by former spy agency contractor Edward Snowden, have gone well, state media said on Wednesday, with both sides pledging to improve cooperation.
Anyway, one resource was excerpts from a book by Janna Malamud Smith,“Private Matters: In Defense of the Personal Life“, and I encourage you to read it. I encourage the President and the NSA to read it too. I know. They aren‘t listening to me. Not that way, anyhow. But it‘s important, because the point of the book is that privacy is vital to being human, which is why one of the worst punishments there is is total surveillance
Wegen der Vollüberwachung durch Geheimdienste macht die Gründerin Pamela Jones den Blog jetzt dicht. In einem lesenswerten, emotionalen Blog-Beitrag schreibt sie:
Two of Egypt’s leading lights in technology and entrepreneurship were extinguished by the constructed chaos engulfing Egypt in the past week and I am close to despair.
Silminds cofounder Assem El-Gamal and MiMV’s managing director Amr Abd El-Rahman were both shot at the Rabaa protest. The first is dead and the latter is in critical condition with his chances of a full recovery slim at best, as he was shot in the head.
A security source at Cairo International Airport told Anadolu Agency that Feltman was expected to arrive in Cairo on Tuesday from Amman on a Jordanian airline.
A member of the Brotherhood’s political party insisted Tuesday that the group — which renounced violence decades ago — would not resort to arms to confront the government’s aggressive campaign to destroy it.
“I have asked the Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Jeff Feltman, to hold wide-ranging discussions in Cairo starting from tomorrow with a focus on how the United Nations can best support initiatives to restore peace and forge reconciliation in Egypt,” he said in New York.
UN office seeks green light from Egyptian authorities to allow human-rights observers on the ground to probe violence.
A spokesman for Sen. Patrick Leahy, David Carle, confirmed to CNN Monday that his office has been told the aid has been halted. Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, is chairman of the Appropriations State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee.
The activist said that, in addition to the police, axemen and soldiers opened fire on them while even helicopters dropped some tear gas. Police burned the police station in order to accuse the protesters for it.
His lawyers at the London firm Bindmans are seeking an official undertaking that there will be „no inspection, copying, disclosure, transfer, distribution or interference, in any way with our client‘s data“.
But they say if there has already been an inspection of his laptop and other equipment it should not be disclosed to any third party, domestic or foreign and should be kept secure pending the outcome of the legal action.

(14.06.2012) Alexis Tsipras, Chef des griechischen Linksbündnisses Syriza, will bei einem Wahlsieg am Sonntag Griechenland in der Währungsunion halten. Das machte der Politiker in einem Gastbeitrag in der der „Financial Times Deutschland“ (FTD – Donnerstagausgabe) klar: „Um sämtliche Zweifel aus der Welt zu schaffen: Meine Partei, Syriza, tritt dafür ein, dass Griechenland in der Euro-Zone bleibt.“
And also without surrendering to blackmail over the common currency, a government led by Syriza will not take Greece out of the euro zone
Die Arbeitsgruppe Alternative Wirtschaftspolitik (Memorandumgruppe kritischer ÖkonomInnen, der ich seit langem angehöre) wollte immer den politischen Euro. Auch die PDS hat seinerzeit mit der Parole „Euro – so nicht!“ gegen den unpolitischen Euro gestimmt. Er lässt sich – nach nunmehr fünfzehn Jahren – aber eben nicht mehr naiv rückabwickeln. Deshalb muss die Euro-Zone und die EU zu einem wirklichen Integrationsprojekt weiterentwickelt werden.
In short, the left is not against an organized, functioning state. It wants a healthy economy and contributes to the strengthening of democratic principles. Wherever the left has failed to live up to what it is essentially about, things have gone horribly wrong. Isn’t that right?
