Funk nennt ein Beispiel: „Jemand geht im achten Bezirk spazieren und zieht den Schal weit übers Gesicht, weil es kalt ist“ – in einem solchen Fall ließe sich bereits streiten, ob es sich um eine Vermummung handle. Laut Verordnung wäre das dann eine Verwaltungsübertretung, eine Geldstrafe von bis zu 500 Euro ist möglich.

NATO set for constructive partnership with Russia in 2014 – military official
Dispute over missile defense
Although Russia and NATO cooperate in many areas, both sides have been in a long dispute over US missile shield plans in Europe, which the United States said was aimed to defend its allies from possible missile threats emerging from Iran and North Korea.
Russia viewed the deployment of the missile shield near its borders as a threat to its national security and in 2011 then-President Dmitry Medvedev announced a set of measures to counter the US-proposed missile defense system in Europe. The measures particularly included the construction of new air-defense radar systems and deployment of Iskander missiles in Russia’s Kaliningrad Region, which borders on Europe

Harold Pinter on ‚The Tapestry of Lies‘ and “Totalitarian Dungeons” which Surround Us
“There comes a time when silence is betrayal” – Martin Luther King, Jr
British playwright Harold Pinter won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2005. For me, his acceptance speech, delivered three years before he died in 2008, was an important glimpse into – and sort of a summary of — the innumerable documentable US war crimes that were facilitated by the multinational corporations, national security apparatus and military leaders that shaped American foreign policy since World War II. True patriots, if they really love their nations, must be honest about the dishonorable, dark side of their nation that the rest of the world, especially Pinter, sees so clearly.

NSA Helped Destroy Trust In US Internet Firms, But Would Going Overseas Be Any Better?
Even Eric Schmidt has said that Google explored the option of moving its servers out of the US, if it would protect them more from the NSA. But the company eventually chose otherwise, and the more you think about it, the more you realize that the really messed up thing in all of this is that even with all of the revelations, it‘s still probably safer to keep the data inside the US than out of it.
