“Hier in Stuttgart stehen wir vor einem Verrat an den Interessen des Gemeinwohls”
„Das Vertrauen der Menschen in das Handeln ihrer gewählten Vertreter und der Regierenden ist eine wesentliche Grundlage des Zusammenlebens in jedem gesellschaftlichen System, das ohne Repressionen auskommen will. Hier in Stuttgart stehen wir – angesichts des S21-Projektes – vor einem Verrat an den Interessen des Gemeinwohls und dem daraus entstandenen Verlust unseres Vertrauens in die Politik.“
Pläne Kiews zum Einsatz von Armee in Sewastopol sickern durch (Zusammenfassung 22.55)
„Die neuen Behörden in Kiew sind über diese Stimmung derart erzürnt, dass sie bereit sind, die Armee gegen das eigene Volk einzusetzen. Aber das wird die Stadt nicht zur Ruhe bringen“, fuhr der Gesprächspartner fort. In Sewastopol gebe es viele Armeeangehörige im Ruhestand, während Kiew gegen sie unerfahrene Wehrpflichtige habe schicken wollen.
Ukrainische Kommunisten gehen in Opposition zur neuen Macht
„Das Präsidium des Zentralkomitees der KP der Ukraine äußert große Besorgnis über das Aufblasen einer antikommunistischen Psychose im Land sowie über Fakten eines Höhlenvandalismus und von Räuberei – die Zerstörung von Denkmälern für Lenin sowie für Verteidiger des Vaterlandes im Großen Vaterländischen Krieg, Banditenüberfälle auf die Räumlichkeiten von Komitees unserer Partei sowie den moralischen und physischen Terror gegen die Kommunisten.“
Die neue Macht habe diese Handlungen nicht verurteilt. Angesichts dessen „sind die Neonazis außer Rand und Band geraten“.

U.S. Trade Rep on the Charm Offensive—Slight Tweaks to Secret TPP Process is Far From Enough
The U.S. Trade Rep announced last week that it will create a new “Public Interest Trade Advisory Committee,” in an attempt to allow public interest groups to provide more input into U.S. proposals in trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). That aim is important, and underserved by many USTR policies, but this proposal is an inadequate remedy to fix the gross imbalance of influence from corporate interests.
Chicago Police “Heat List” Renews Old Fears About Government Flagging and Tagging
The Verge had a story last week (expanding on an August report from the Chicago Tribune that I’d missed) that the Chicago police have created a list of the “400 most dangerous people in Chicago.” The Trib reported on one fellow, who had no criminal arrests, expressing surprise over having received a visit from the police and being told he was on this list. A 17-year-old girl was also shocked when told she was on the list.

Egypt Pro-Democracy National Alliance: Government Resignation Does Not Absolve Collaborators of Guilt
Resignation of those who oversaw the impoverishment and the killing of Egyptians and sold the homeland to foreign powers will not absolve them of responsibility. They think their resignation paves the way for the general who lusts after the country‘s top post, the patron of the republic of repression, terror and corruption. But that is not going to happen. All those who participated in this government will soon stand before the revolutionary People‘s Court to be held accountable for their crimes and massacres.

Handliches kleines Wallpaper in Zeiten der totgeschwiegenen Spionage durch elektromagnetische Abstrahlung
(02.03.2013) Es liegt in der Natur der Sache, dass ich diesen – mit meiner supertollen Software schickitrickistudenti so aufwändig hergestellten – hochkreativen Content nicht im Artikel bildlich darstellen und bewerben kann. Am Ende fühlt sich noch der eine oder andere Leser angesprochen.
Writing The Snowden Files: ‚The paragraph began to self-delete‘
Over the next few weeks these incidents of remote deletion happened several times. There was no fixed pattern but it tended to occur when I wrote disparagingly of the NSA. All authors expect criticism. But criticism before publication by an anonymous, divine third party is something novel. I began to leave notes for my secret reader. I tried to be polite, but irritation crept in. Once I wrote: „Good morning. I don‘t mind you reading my manuscript – you‘re doing so already – but I‘d be grateful if you don‘t delete it. Thank you.“ There was no reply.

Die Angst schreibt mit: Weniger Vielfalt, mehr versteckte Werbung
Den Einsparungen in Redaktionen stehen PR-Agenturen gegenüber, die ihre Inhalte gezielt in den Medien unterzubringen versuchen. In den Regionalzeitungen etwa steigt der Anteil der Texte, die gebrauchsfertig von Agenturen oder Pressestellen geliefert werden. Oft werden kommerzielle Inhalte dabei bewusst nicht als Werbung gekennzeichnet.

„Trottel“, Skandalvermeider – oder überarbeitete Beamte?
Der Name „Edathy“ fiel Ziercke zufolge angeblich nicht auf, weil er „von keiner Beamtin bzw. Beamten mit einem deutschen Bundestagsabgeordneten in Verbindung gebracht“ wurde, was ihm alle „Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter in einer dienstlichen Erklärung am 24.02.2014 versichert“ hätten. Das ist insofern bemerkenswert, als der Name Edathy in Deutschland extrem selten ist. Außerhalb der Verwandtschaft des Ex-Abgeordneten kommt er nicht vor, weil er durch eine Abkürzung des Namens seines indischen Vaters Mathew Edathiparambil entstand.

There is surprisingly little written on this issue.
Another Area Where TPP Will Cause Problems: Internet Domain Names
In other words, the horse-trading that typically goes on during these negotiations may see a country‘s autonomy in the key field of domain names sacrificed in the hope of boosting some local industry.
Apple Decides That Dead Silence Is The Best Way To Address Major Encryption Flaw On OS X
Apple on Friday issued an update that fixed a rather severe vulnerability in their SSL/TLS implementation in iOS. In short, the flaw allowed any hacker the ability to intercept data during supposedly secure and encrypted transfers when using an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch on a public network. Estimates suggest that the vulnerability was introduced in iOS 6.0 back in September 2012 (Apple was added as a PRISM partner in October 2012, utterly circumstantial but just sayin‘). After some reverse engineering of the patch, people discovered it overhauled some fairly major portions of iOS.
The businessman who’s been ruined

Something that could happen to everyone.
Enzo Prosperi
Something that could happen to everyone. And I want to sound a warning to tell everyone to be watchful that it doesn’t happen to them, and meanwhile, I want to show people what has happened to the political scene, the bad political scene in Italy! I believe that it’s going beyond the logic of politics to think that a thousand companies are closing down each day! Because they’re not managing to survive, because the contributions, the duties, the direct and indirect taxes and so on and so forth, amount to more than 82%.
Renzi takes dig at M5S leader Beppe Grillo
