Subventionen für Atomkraftwerke? Nein!
Die Europäische Kommission will der Atomindustrie wieder auf die Beine helfen und möchte über die Leitlinien für die Umweltbeihilfen 2014 bis 2020 Subventionen für den Bau neuer Atomkraftwerke ermöglichen. Für die Atomlobby geht es jetzt ums Ganze: Die derzeit geplanten Atomkraftwerke wie z.B. Temelin 3+4 sind in der EU ohne diese neuen Subventionen nicht realisierbar, weil sich keine Investoren finden. Eine europaweite Petition fordert: Keine Subventionen für Atomkraftwerke!

The Cowboy of the NSA

Spionage in Deutschland: Verfassungsschutz beliefert NSA
Mitarbeiter schicken Hunderte Datensätze in die USA, man trifft sich wöchentlich in Berlin. Ein vertrauliches Papier zeigt, dass das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz eng mit Amerikas Spionen kooperiert. Es liegt nahe, dass der Dienst Informationen über in Deutschland ausgespähte Menschen weitergibt.
Hey, psst, als der Pofalla neulich sagte, es seien nur zwei Datensätze an die NSA weitergegeben worden, da meinte er eigentlich:
Alleine das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz hat im letzten Jahr 864 Datensätze übermittelt.
