David Cameron will push for Russia to be stripped of its right to host the 2018 World Cup as part of a sanctions threat against Vladmir Putin‘s deployment of troops in Ukraine.
Alongside various officials from across the EU, the British Prime Minister is working on a list of symbolic policies to isolate the Russian President until he draws an end to the conflict.
Die Extremistenmiliz Islamischer Staat (IS) könnte das Vorgehen als illegitime Einmischung verstehen und Deutschland als Kriegsgegner betrachten. In der Folge drohten Vergeltungsanschläge auch in Deutschland. Das schreibt die „Berliner Morgenpost“ (Sonntag-Ausgabe) unter Berufung auf eine interne Gefährdungsanalyse des BKA.
(17. Mai 2009) In den letzten Minuten nicht geblitzdingst worden? Kein Problem: gucken Sie mal hier. Und hier.
So. Und jetzt nochmal, Du Vollidiot, der Onkel erzählt das immer gern noch zum 1000 Male, wenn Du Blödian mal wieder dumm aus der Wäsche guckst: eine “Sperrung von Kinderpornografie” hiesse, diese Webseiten mit Schwerstkriminalität aus dem Netz zu nehmen. Das passiert aber nicht. Stattdessen wird hier zwar eine missliebige Webseite nach der anderen gesperrt, aber keine mit “Kinderpornografie”. Gleichzeitig werden immer noch ohne gesetzliche Grundlage, nur auf der Basis eines Geheimvertrages der Innenministeriumsbehörden mit einzelnen Providern, mehrere Verfassungsrechte von Millionen Internetnutzern gebrochen.
Wie just heute “Carechild” nachwies, wäre es kein Problem diese Schwerstkriminalität namens “Kinderpornografie” aus dem Netz zu nehmen. Stattdessen lassen die Geheimdienste und Behörden diese aber im Netz und machen das Einzige, was sie können: hetzen, schwätzen, Märchen erzählen. Und ihre Presse-Kumpels immer vorne weg.

(2. April) Am 4.11.11 hätte Uwe Mundlos erst seinen Wohnwagen angezündet, dabei Brandruß eingeatmet, und dann sich selbst erschossen. Für diese Darstellung führte der Chef des Bundeskriminalamtes Jörg Ziercke das Ergebnis der Obduktion an: In Mundlos Lunge hätten sich Rußpartikel befunden, also lebte er als das Feuer ausbrach! Jetzt kommt heraus, dass diese Darstellung gelogen war.
(22. August) Die Behörden haben nicht nur versagt, sie waren nicht nur unfähig. Sie waren offenbar dazu fähig, die Ermittlungen und die Ergreifung der Verbrecher bewusst fahrlässig oder bedingt vorsätzlich zu verhindern. Es gibt, so der Bericht, „den Verdacht gezielter Sabotage“. Es ist dies ein Verdacht, der einen schier verrückt werden lässt.

Human rights advocate and lawyer Julian Burnside has told protesters in Melbourne they can look forward to seeing Tony Abbott in the dock in an international court.
Organisers claim 5000 people took part in Sunday‘s rally but police say no more than 1200 participated in the Brisbane CBD protest.
In the meantime, a giant and grotesque-looking Tony Abbott puppet – complete with smoking pants – parted the startled crowd, eliciting cries of „Liar, liar, pants on fire“.
Outside Parliament House, where the march ended, speakers such as human rights and refugee lawyer Julian Burnside, Jennie Hall from Destroy the Joint, and Greenpeace chief executive David Retter took to the stage to rally against the government.

How do we know that this is a lie? Is it because we have heard nothing but lies about Russia from NATO, from US ambassador to the UN Samantha Power, from assistant secretary of state Victoria Nuland, from Obama and his entire regime of pathological liars, and from the British, German, and French governments along with the BBC and the entirety of the Western media?
“What is going on in Ukraine is a common problem for Russia, Ukraine and Europe as a whole. We couldn’t have even imagined that a hotbed of bloodshed would emerge in Europe after the Second World War,” the official said.
Beginning in 1990, Congress authorized the Pentagon to transfer its surplus property free of charge to federal, state, and local police departments to wage the war on drugs. In 1997, Congress expanded the purpose of the program to include counterterrorism in section 1033 of the defense authorization bill. In one single page of a 450-page law, Congress helped sow the seeds of what have been called „today‘s warrior cops“. The amount of military hardware transferred through the program has grown astronomically over the years. In 1990, the Pentagon gave $1 million worth of equipment to US law enforcement. That number had jumped to nearly $450 million in 2013. Overall, the program has shipped off more than $5.1 billion worth of materiel to state and local law enforcement, according to the DLA and is considered to be the primary contributing factor as to why police now conduct up to 80,000 SWAT raids a year in the U.S., up from only 3,000 a year in the early ‘80s.

The White House confirmed today the rumors that Todd Park, the nation’s Chief Technology Officer and the spiritual leader of its effort to reform the way the government uses technology, is leaving his post. Largely for family reasons—a long delayed promise to his wife to raise their family in California—he’s moving back to the Bay Area he left when he began working for President Barack Obama in 2009.

A recently unclassified report from the Pentagon from 1998 has revealed an investigation into using laser beams for a few intriguing potential methods of non-lethal torture. Some of the applications the report investigated include putting voices in people‘s heads, using lasers to trigger uncontrolled neuron firing, and slowly heating the human body to a point of feverish confusion – all from hundreds of meters away.
A US citizen requested access to the document, entitled „Bioeffects of Selected Non-Lethal Weapons,“ under the Freedom of Information Act a little over a year ago. There is no evidence that any of the technologies mentioned in the 10-year-old report have been developed since the time it was written.
The Pakistan Awami Tehrik (PAT) chief Tahir ul Qadri, the co- organizer of the protest, claimed that his party‘s seven workers were killed and 75 others injured, while another co-organizer the chairman of the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) said his one worker was killed and scores of others injured in clashes.
However, the federal defense minister Khawja Asif rejected the claims by the opposition leaders and said no one was killed in the clashes.
It was announced on June 9 that Iran plans to distribute gasoline conforming to Euro-4 standard in 8 major cities by December.

Truthy is a system to analyze and visualize the diffusion of information on Twitter. The Truthy system evaluates thousands of tweets an hour to identify new and emerging bursts of activity around memes of various flavors. The data and statistics provided by Truthy are designed to aid in the study of social epidemics: How do memes propagate through the Twittersphere? What causes a burst of popularity?
The creation of the Truthy database by Indiana University researchers has drawn sharp criticism from free-speech advocates and others concerned over government censorship of political expression.
According to the award abstract accompanying the funding provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Truthy project aims to demonstrate “why some ideas cause viral explosions while others are quickly forgotten.” In order to answer this and other questions, the resulting database will actively “[collect] and [analyze] massive streams of public microblogging data.”
“We demand the immediate release of the embassy staff members and prevention of any future violations of international conventions on diplomatic immunity,” the ministry said.

As the plane safely returned to Moscow, Russia called Poland‘s actions “a gross violation of the norms and ethics of communication” and in the context of the celebrations of Slovakia‘s triumph over Nazism, a “blasphemous trick against the historical memory and the merits of those who saved Europe from fascism.”
After Poland banned entrance into its airspace for the Tu-154 plane, it had to take a U-turn and landed in Bratislava an hour later.
Dem Konzern wird die Verstrickung in massive Menschenrechtsverletzungen in Kolumbien vorgeworfen – einer der wichtigsten Förderregionen der Welt. Die Vorwürfe reichen bis hin zur Beteiligung an einem Mord an Gewerkschaftern. Die Botschaft von RWE: Gewissen zählt mehr als Kohle.
Doch inzwischen sieht man die Sache in der RWE-Zentrale offenkundig wieder ein wenig anders. Denn nach Informationen der Süddeutschen Zeitung arbeitet der Konzern an einem Kurswechsel. Der Energieversorger will die Lieferungen von Drummond in den nächsten Monaten wieder aufnehmen – ohne, dass die Affäre aufgearbeitet wäre. Entsprechende Schritte seien intern eingeleitet worden, heißt es in Konzernkreisen.
„Der KAS gefiel die neue Regelung offensichtlich nicht“, schätzte der Außenminister ein. Er gehe davon aus, dass die Stiftung auch deshalb Ecuador verlasse, weil ihr christdemokratischer Kooperationspartner nicht mehr existiert: Die Partei löste sich 2013 auf.
This review is a follow-up to three previous OIG reports concerning the FBI’s use of national security letter authorities. In our first and second NSL reports, issued in March 2007 and March 2008, the OIG found repeated instances of the FBI’s misuse of NSL authorities during 2003 through 2006. During our first NSL review we also discovered the FBI’s practice of issuing exigent letters and using other informal methods to obtain telephone records, instead of using NSLs or other legal process. We addressed these practices in a separate report issued in January 2010.

Diese Forderung nach einem Einreiseverbot unterstützt nach Informationen der APA auch das ukrainische Außenministerium. Überdies sollen Sanktionen über die betreffende Personengruppe verhängt werden.

„Mir scheint, dass dies eine sehr gute Lehre für uns alle dafür ist, diese Tragödie schnellstmöglich zu beenden. Dabei friedlich und durch Verhandlungen. Darüber sprachen wir mit Pjotr Poroschenko sowie darüber, dass niemand jemals solche Fehler wiederholt, die in der Ukraine bei der bewaffneten Machtergreifung begangen worden waren. Denn das ist die Grundursache dessen, was heute geschieht“, sagte Putin.

Disable program 1033, which donates unused military equipment to police department across the United States. Also, confiscate every piece of donated equipment given to ALL police departments since 1996, since the police departments have forgotten that their role is to protect and serve, not shoot to kill unarmed citizens.
