WIE WĂRDEN die US auf eine palĂ€stinensische ErklĂ€rung reagieren, wenn die PalĂ€stinenser keine Verhandlungen mit einer israelischen Regierung fĂŒhren wĂŒrden die faschistoide Parteien einschlieĂt?
Mit grosser Wut, natĂŒrlich.

Kerryâs Propaganda War on Russiaâs RT
By Ray McGovern
May 01, 2014 „ICH“ – „CN“ – When specialists with a good sense of history insist that war with Russia is ânot unthinkableâ precipitated by events in Ukraine, one should take careful note. The ânot unthinkableâ quote is from pre-eminent American historian of Russia, Stephen F. Cohen, who recently appeared with John J. Mearsheimer, historian of U.S. foreign policy, on RTâs Crosstalk.
That Cohen and Mearsheimer are professors should not be held against them. They

China blasts as ‚irresponsible‘ US report on terrorism
Beijing is unhappy at the US State Department‘s 2013 annual country reports on terrorism, published Wednesday, which said China‘s cooperation on fighting terrorism „remained marginal“ and that the Chinese provided scarce evidence to prove terrorist involvement in incidents in Xinjiang.

There are around 320 additional Special Forces personnel operating in West Africa, including three teams in the Niger Delta. The upsurge of Boko Haram violence in Northern Nigeria has attracted more. Others are working, with the Marines, in training exercises across Africa. There are three ĂąâŹËPsychopsĂąâŹâą
groups operating in East Africa, especially in KenyaĂąâŹâąs Northeast Frontier.
This is in addition to scores of private military corporations (like Dyncorp or the several companies formed by retired US brass).
Nigeria says gathering of rich and powerful will not be cowed by bombings

PSNI cabal agenda negative and destructive â McGuinness
Yesterday I said that the timing of the arrest of Gerry Adams was politically motivated.
Todayâs decision by the PSNI to seek an extension confirms me in my view.
The arrest of Gerry Adams at this time is inextricably linked to the Local Government and EU elections that will take place across this island in three weeks.

PelĂč was making reference to Italian Premier Matteo Renzi‘s signature 80-euro-a-month bonus for 10 million low earners, which was part of a tax-cut measure approved earlier this month.

Die Achse des Religiösen
(08.05.2013) Israel, Saudi-Arabien, die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate, Jordanien und die TĂŒrkei wollen einen MilitĂ€rpakt grĂŒnden. Die U.S.A. befördern die Angelegenheit, so israelische âOffizielleâ.
Saudi forces conduct massive military drills
(30.04.) Saudi forces conducted on Tuesday their largest military drills to date, which were carried out in front of foreign officials along the Saudi borders with Iraq and Kuwait.
The drills were described by the Saudi media as the „largest ever“ in the history of the Kingdom.
Saudi missile parade a signal to Iran, Israeli defense expert tells âPostâ
(01.05.2014) Saudi Arabia concluded a large-scale military exercise with a display of its Chinese- made Dongfeng 3 ballistic missiles this week, showcasing the missiles for the first time in a veiled warning to Iran, a defense expert told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.
Saudis parade nuclear missiles for the first time in defiance of US-Iranian nuclear accord
(29.04.2014) Saudi Arabia became the first Middle East nation to publicly exhibit its nuclear-capable missiles. The long-range, liquid propellant DF-3 ballistic missile (NATO designated CSS-2), purchased from China 27 years ago, was displayed for the first time at a Saudi military parade Tuesday,
Saudi Arabia reveals country‘s ballistic missiles
The Kingdom unveils missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads purchased from China; but while Israel used to be Saudi‘s main target, Riyadh and Jerusalem now have a common enemy – Iran.
Von wem bekommt Saudi-Arabien wirklich Atomwaffen-Technologie?
(10.11.2013) Das in jeder Hinsicht skrupellose und archaische Regime von Saudi-Arabien hat in den letzten Tagen die Finanzierung von weiteren Invasionstrupppen zwecks Entsendung in den Syrien-Krieg angekĂŒndigt, samt deren Umetikettierung von âJihadistenâ zu âSalafistenâ, ein Abgrund des Schwachsinns. Dazu in Deutschland, natĂŒrlich: allgemeines Schweigen. Auch zur dreisten Forderung der Saudis nach einem stĂ€ndigen Sitz im Sicherheitsrat der U.N.O.: allgemeines Schweigen.
Ich gehe davon aus, dass die Saudis tatsĂ€chlich die Atombombe wollen. Dieses wĂŒrde nicht zuletzt den Druck von den Israelis nehmen, als bislang einziger Atommacht Vorderasiens.
Europeâs brutal discipline
The European utopia is turning into a system for delivering punishment. As Europeâs regime gets tougher, there is a growing sense that interchangeable elites are taking advantage of each crisis to tighten their austerity policies and impose their federal fantasy (1). This twin objective has the support of boardrooms and newsrooms. But even if you boost their ranks with German rentiers, a few Luxembourgers specialising in tax evasion and most of Franceâs Socialist leaders, popular backing for the present âEuropean projectâ isnât much greater.
Andere LĂ€nder, andere MaĂstĂ€be â Ăgypten und die Lynchjustiz
Stellen Sie sich doch bitte einmal vor, wie groĂ hierzulande die Aufregung wĂ€re, wenn in Russland ein Regierungskritiker â in der hiesigen Sprachregelung âRegimekritikerâ â zum Tode verurteilt worden wĂ€re. Andere LĂ€nder, andere MaĂstĂ€be â in Ăgypten wurden zum Wochenbeginn ganze 683 Regierungskritiker â in der hiesigen Sprachregelung âTerroristenâ â zum Tode verurteilt.
Sozialistische Jugend: Raus aus der groĂen Koalition!

Ultrarechte setzt auf Terror: Die Rechte Opposition in Venezuela auf der StraĂe
GegenwĂ€rtig ist die Opposition in Venezuela tief gespalten. FĂŒhrende Köpfe des radikaleren Teils sind Leopoldo LĂłpez und MarĂa Corina Machado. LĂłpez, Chef der rechten Partei âVoluntad Popularâ, stellte sich nach den ersten Tagen der aktuellen Auseinandersetzungen den Behörden, die ihn wegen seiner Verwicklungen in diese per Haftbefehl gesucht hatten.
Beide fordern unverhĂŒllt den Sturz der Regierung. Mit ihren radikalen Losungen versuchen sie nicht zuletzt, sich innerhalb des BĂŒndnisses MUD als kĂŒnftige Kandidaten bei Wahlen zu etablieren und damit die Vormachtstellung des ehemaligen PrĂ€sidentschaftskandidaten Henrique Capriles anzugreifen. Diese geriet bereits durch das schlechte Wahlergebnis des BĂŒndnisses bei den Kommunalwahlen im Dezember ins Wanken, als die Opposition fast zehn Prozent weniger als die UnterstĂŒtzer der Bolivarischen Revolution auf sich vereinigen konnte.
TISA â nach ACTA und TTIP der nĂ€chste Anschlag auf die Bevölkerung, mit verheerenden Folgen
Das âTrade in Services Agreementâ (TISA) ist ein von den USA, der EU und 21 kleineren LĂ€ndern verhandelter Vertrag mit dem Ziel, sogenannte âHandelshemmnisseâ im öffentlichen Dienstleistungssektor zu beseitigen und dadurch neue Marktchancen (fĂŒr Konzerne) zu öffnen. Die GesprĂ€che wurden, wie man jetzt erfuhr, bereits vor einem Jahr aufgenommen, begleitet von der bereits von ACTA und TTIP bekannten und allseits heftig kritisierten âGeheimhaltungâ (man könnte hier auch von einer Verschwörung sprechen).
Die (orwellische) Sprache in den bisher geleakten Dokumenten Ă€hnelt der bisheriger âFreihandelsabkommenâ verdĂ€chtig, nur die unmittelbare Zielrichtung unterscheidet sich. Standen bislang die Verhinderung von Handel mit gefĂ€lschten Produkten oder der allgemeine Abbau von Handelshindernissen im Vordergrund, so zielt TISA zunĂ€chst auf den öffentlichen Sektor. Also die in Europa sehr kontrovers diskutierte Privatisierung von Wasserversorgung, Nahverkehr, Gesundheitseinrichtungen, BildungsstĂ€tten und anderen Angeboten, die auf dem alten Kontinent traditionell von Betrieben in öffentlichem Besitz bereitgestellt werden.

Tech Companies Increasingly Telling Users When Law Enforcement Comes Asking For Data
In the past, we‘ve noted that Twitter, alone among major tech companies, had made it a corporate policy to not just roll over when law enforcement came asking for user data, even alerting users that law enforcement was seeking their data, and giving them the chance to try to block the requests. Apparently, now a bunch of other big tech companies have started doing the same thing:

DOJ Morality Police May Be Behind Chase Closing Bank Accounts Of Adult Film Actors
The Techdirt comments section is to thank for this one. After we just talked about Chase Bank appearing to close the personal bank accounts of a bunch of employees in the adult performing business, a few of you pointed us to reports that this may just be Chase Bank dancing to a federal piper. That report has expanded upon Teagan Presley, a former porn star, and her comments upon finding out she was suddenly no longer a Chase customer.
