Conflicting reports over shooting near military research center in Crimean capital
The Kryminform news agency, citing an unnamed local police source, reports shooting came from a house under construction opposite the center and targeted Crimean self-defense units as well the military center itself.
“Earlier today self-defense units were informed that a group of armed men had been discovered in a partially inhabited building,” a source from the ministry said. “As they were taking measures to check, self-defense units came under fire.

I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way.
We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves.
She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me.
I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received.
I will never forget her,
Mick

Verfassungsbeschwerden und Organstreitverfahren gegen Europäischen Stabilitätsmechanismus und Fiskalpakt erfolglos
a) Das durch Art. 38 Abs. 1 GG geschützte Wahlrecht gewährleistet als grundrechtsgleiches Recht die politische Selbstbestimmung der Bürger und garantiert die freie und gleiche Teilhabe an der in Deutschland ausgeübten Staatsgewalt. Sein Gewährleistungsgehalt umfasst die Grundsätze des Demokratiegebots im Sinne von Art. 20 Abs. 1 und Abs. 2 GG,
die Art. 79 Abs. 3 GG als Identität der Verfassung auch vor dem Zugriff des verfassungsändernden Gesetzgebers schützt. Vor diesem Hintergrund muss der Gesetzgeber ausreichende Vorkehrungen treffen, um seine Integrationsverantwortung dauerhaft erfüllen zu können. Er darf sich namentlich seines Budgetrechts nicht begeben, auch nicht in einem System
intergouvernementalen Regierens.
Für die Einhaltung des Demokratiegebots kommt es entscheidend darauf an, dass der Bundestag der Ort bleibt, an dem eigenverantwortlich über Einnahmen und Ausgaben entschieden wird, auch im Hinblick auf internationale und europäische Verbindlichkeiten.

„Hätten die örtlichen Selbstverteidigungskräfte der Krim die Situation zur rechten Zeit nicht unter ihre Kontrolle gebracht, hätte es auch dort Opfer gegeben“, betonte Putin.
„Auf der Krim gab es keine einzige bewaffnete Auseinandersetzung und keine Menschenopfer. Was denken Sie, warum? Die Antwort ist ganz einfach: Weil es schwer oder praktisch unmöglich ist, gegen das Volk und seinen Willen zu kämpfen“, sagte Putin weiter.

Serbien nach der Wahl vor harten Zeiten
Der bisherige Vizepremier und Chef der Serbischen Fortschrittspartei (SNS), Aleksandar Vučić, der die Neuwahlen ausgelöst hatte und von Anfang an als Hauptfavorit für das Amt des Ministerpräsidenten galt, versuchte in der Wahlkampagne Aufbruchstimmung zu verbreiten.

Microsoft Enlisting Clueless States Attorneys General To Shake Down Foreign Companies For ‚Piracy‘
Almost exactly three years ago, we wrote about an effort by Microsoft to try to get various states to pass laws that would make it illegal to buy from a foreign company that uses unauthorized software. The goal was, basically, an incredibly cynical way for Microsoft to abuse overeager, grandstanding Attorneys General who want to pretend they‘re „helping local businesses“ by blocking every other company from doing business with whoever might be the best supplier… unless they suddenly became licensed Microsoft customers. There were all sorts of problems with that idea, but over the past three years, Microsoft has apparently continued to push forward with variations on that concept — and are now successfully getting states Attorneys‘ General (who have no authority over copyright issues) to shake down foreign companies with claims that they‘re „pirates.“
The DHS May Have (Publicly) Dumped Its License Plate Database Plans But It Still Has Access To Millions Of Records

Victory on the front lines of the war against surveillance
“With liber—ty and just—ice for all,” said the girl at the microphone. She accentuated the ends of her words, almost as if she were performing slam poetry, so the members of the city council had more time to contemplate their meaning and gravity. After a short pause, she recalled how she had recited the Pledge of Allegiance every morning in school during her childhood.
If Spying on Senate is So Bad, Why is it OK For Them To Spy On Us?
by Ron Paul
When CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou exposed the CIA’s role in torturing prisoners he was sent to prison for nearly three years. But Senator Feinstein and her colleagues didn’t lift a finger to support him. So again you have the double standards and hypocrisy.
Address by President of the Russian Federation
Federation Council members, State Duma deputies, good afternoon. Representatives of the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol are here among us, citizens of Russia, residents of Crimea and Sevastopol! (Applause)
Dear friends, we have gathered here today in connection with an issue that is of vital, historic significance to all of us. A referendum was held in Crimea on March 16 in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms.
More than 82 percent of the electorate took part in the vote. Over 96 percent of them spoke out in favour of reuniting with Russia. These numbers speak for themselves.
To understand the reason behind such a choice it is enough to know the history of Crimea and what Russia and Crimea have always meant for each other.
