Zeitung: Deutsches BKA warnt vor IS-Terror in Deutschland

Die Extremistenmiliz Islamischer Staat (IS) könnte das Vorgehen als illegitime Einmischung verstehen und Deutschland als Kriegsgegner betrachten. In der Folge drohten VergeltungsanschlĂ€ge auch in Deutschland. Das schreibt die „Berliner Morgenpost“ (Sonntag-Ausgabe) unter Berufung auf eine interne GefĂ€hrdungsanalyse des BKA.

92% Vollidioten fĂŒr Kinderpornografie-Sperrung ohne Sperrung, aber Internetzensur

(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 erzĂ€hlt das immer gern noch zum 1000 Male, wenn Du Blödian mal wieder dumm aus der WĂ€sche guckst: eine “Sperrung von Kinderpornografie” hiesse, diese Webseiten mit SchwerstkriminalitĂ€t 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, wĂ€re es kein Problem diese SchwerstkriminalitĂ€t 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, schwĂ€tzen, MĂ€rchen erzĂ€hlen. Und ihre Presse-Kumpels immer vorne weg.

NSU: Kein Brandruß in Mundlos Lunge, BKA-Chef Jörg Ziercke log!

(2. April) Am 4.11.11 hĂ€tte Uwe Mundlos erst seinen Wohnwagen angezĂŒndet, dabei Brandruß eingeatmet, und dann sich selbst erschossen. FĂŒr diese Darstellung fĂŒhrte der Chef des Bundeskriminalamtes Jörg Ziercke das Ergebnis der Obduktion an: In Mundlos Lunge hĂ€tten sich Rußpartikel befunden, also lebte er als das Feuer ausbrach! Jetzt kommt heraus, dass diese Darstellung gelogen war.

NSU-Bericht: Die schlimmste Entdeckung in der Geschichte der Republik

(22. August) Die Behörden haben nicht nur versagt, sie waren nicht nur unfĂ€hig. Sie waren offenbar dazu fĂ€hig, die Ermittlungen und die Ergreifung der Verbrecher bewusst fahrlĂ€ssig oder bedingt vorsĂ€tzlich zu verhindern. Es gibt, so der Bericht, „den Verdacht gezielter Sabotage“. Es ist dies ein Verdacht, der einen schier verrĂŒckt werden lĂ€sst.

Protesters maintain their rage in Melbourne anti-budget 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.

Washington Piles Lie Upon Lie. Accuses Russia of Having “Invaded Ukraine”

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 the 1033 Program ?

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.

E.on will Frankreichs Wald verbrennen

E.on bedroht die WĂ€lder SĂŒdfrankreichs. Der Stromkonzern will dort ein altes Kohlekraftwerk in ein riesiges Biomassekraftwerk umbauen. Darin wĂŒrden pro Jahr eine Million Tonnen Holz verbrannt. Mit klimafreundlicher Energie hat das nichts zu tun.

America’s Tech Guru Steps Down—But He’s Not Done Rebooting the Government

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.

Pentagon report investigated lasers that put voices in your head

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.

Police State: US Government-Funded Database Created to Track “Subversive Propaganda” Online

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.”
