Der Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) speichert am Horchposten im bayerischen Bad Aibling den gesamten Datenverkehr der von ihm in Afghanistan, Somalia und dem Nahen Osten angezapften Verbindungen.
Wie aus als „geheim“ eingestuften Papieren der Bundesregierung hervorgeht, die der SPIEGEL einsehen konnte, betrifft dies „jegliche Art von Kommunikation: Telefonie, Internetnutzung, E-Mail, GPS-Datenverarbeitung etc.“. In der Regel werden Informationen sieben Tage lang gespeichert. In dieser Zeit bereiten IT-Spezialisten die Rohdaten für die elektronische Auswertung auf. Da es bei Übertragungen aus Afghanistan nach Bad Aibling wiederholt zu Fehlern kam, richtete der BND zudem vor Ort „Pufferzeiten“ ein.
A SpaceX‘s Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 1 a.m. EDT (0500 GMT) Sunday, carrying the AsiaSat 6 satellite into space for Hong Kong-based firm AsiaSat.
Cash seizures can be made under state or federal civil law. One of the primary ways police departments are able to seize money and share in the proceeds at the federal level is through a long-standing Justice Department civil asset forfeiture program known as Equitable Sharing. Asset forfeiture is an extraordinarily powerful law enforcement tool that allows the government to take cash and property without pressing criminal charges and then requires the owners to prove their possessions were legally acquired.
The practice has been controversial since its inception at the height of the drug war more than three decades ago, and its abuses have been the subject of journalistic exposés and congressional hearings. But unexplored until now is the role of the federal government and the private police trainers in encouraging officers to target cash on the nation’s highways since 9/11.
Unser Auslandsgeheimdienst ist viel tiefer und intensiver im Überwachungs-Netzwerk der Five Eyes um NSA & Co eingebunden als unsere Bundesregierung uns bisher mitteilen wollte. Das ist nicht nur ein Skandal, das dürfte auch verfassungswidrig sein.
„Hinter den Schießereien, von denen ab und zu berichtet wird, stehen sehr wahrscheinlich Gruppen von (Oligarch Igor) Kolomojski, Söldner und Marodeure.“
Nach dem vereinbarten Waffenstillstand stehe der ukrainische Präsident Poroschenko unter starkem Druck vonseiten der Extremisten und Nationalisten, die ihn während der Maidan-Proteste unterstützt haben, so der Parlamentarier weiter.
Während „Standard“-Herausgeber Oscar Bronner bei keinem Bilderberger-Treffen fehlen darf, schreibt seine Chefredakteurin Alexandra Föderl-Schmid Texte wie diesen: „Worte statt Waffen – Das besonnene Vorgehen von Nato und EU schafft auch für Russland Spielraum.“ Sie muss doch etwas anderes damit meinen als den NATO-Gipfel, bei dessen Beginn Generalsekretär Rasmussen weiter auf Aggression und Desinformation setzte?
‚The next phase is now to start going on some offense,‘ Obama said Sunday in a preview of the highly anticipated speech, which will occur a day before the 13th anniversary of 9/11. Obama has repeatedly vowed to take the fight to ISIS in the weeks since the bloodthirsty jihadist group posted gruesome videos of its members beheading U.S. journalists.
An accompanying graphic lists 50-some countries that seek to manipulate US policymaking and public opinion through thinktanks, but Israel is off that list too!
Haim Saban started a center at Brookings that’s all about Israel; he moved to the U.S. from Israel and is an ardent Zionist. This doesn’t count as foreign influence.
Germany believes that delivering Israel a fourth submarine will break the cycle. The submarine will arrive in Israel in the coming days. Chancellor Merkel is stepping up her efforts by agreeing to address a demonstration in Berlin next week against the rising tide of anti-Semitism in Germany. No doubt she hopes that this combination will solve the German/Jewish/Israeli question.
The EU’s border management agency is holding discussions with Israel’s weapons industry about how drones can help Europe hunt down asylum-seekers. A new Israeli drone tested in the Gaza war is of great interest to the Europeans who continue to fight against their colonial subjects showing up on their shores.
Vorgesehen ist die Etablierung provisorischer Selbstverwaltungen „in einzelnen Regionen der Gebiete Donezk und Lugansk“, die einen gesetzlichen Sonderstatus bekommen sollen, heißt es in dem Dokument, das von der Organisation für Sicherheit und Zusammenarbeit in Europa (OSZE) veröffentlicht wurde.
The complexities of the new political relations in Latin America require that we breakdown what previously was the unified components of anti-imperialist politics.
The poll showed that 85 percent of those questioned did not want Hollande to run for president again, with 50 percent blaming him for not delivering on his promises.
Sie wurde 1949 in Berlin geboren, als Tochter des 1992 verstorbenen Vorsitzenden des Zentralrats der Juden in Deutschland, Heinz Galinski. 1972 heiratete sie Benjamin Hecht, mit dem sie den Textilvertrieb Hecht-Design gründete. Das Paar lebt inzwischen in Malsburg-Marzell im südlichen Schwarzwald unter dem „Hochblauen“, wo sie von ihrem Mann in ihrer publizistischen Tätigkeit nachhaltig unterstützt wird.
Rechtsstreite, wie beispielsweise der mit dem ehemaligen Spiegel-Kolumnisten Henryk M. Broder, der inzwischen für Springers Welt und Welt am Sonntag schreibt, wegen ihrer Kritik am Staate Israel und ihres Engagements für ein freies Palästina haben sie nie einschüchtern können. Im Gegenteil: Herrn Broder darf Evelyn Hecht-Galinski seit einem gewonnenen Rechtsstreit mit ihm, inzwischen offiziell als „Pornoverfasser“ bezeichnen! Einen Proteststurm in den Medien löste 2009 die Verleihung des Bundesverdienstkreuzes an die jüdische Menschenrechtsanwältin und Israel-Kritikerin Felicia Langer aus, die Evelyn Hecht-Galinski ein paar Monate zuvor für diese Auszeichnung vorgeschlagen hatte.
Beyond the shared “promised land” and “chosen people” rhetoric that has inspired both the Afrikaner and Zionist ideologies of racial, religious, and ethnic supremacy, so has that of land redemption through settler-colonialism and transplanting indigenous populations. The connective tissue between apartheid and Zionism is thick, and not only in that both European colonial ideologies were officially institutionalized and implemented against native peoples as government policy in 1948.
(9. August) Meiner Einschätzung nach läuft zur Zeit eine um den 20. Juli begonnene konzertierte Aktion maßgeblich aus den mit Faschisten, Soziopathen und Verrückten vollgelaufenen deutschen Geheimdiensten / Geheimpolizeien heraus, unter Führung ihrer internationalen Vorgesetzten und “Leitwölfe”, Alliierte im 2001 begonnenen Terrorkrieg und der in hegelianischer Dialektik sich aufbauenden totalen Spionage gegen die Bevölkerung in den kriegführenden Ländern, zur Störung und Sabotage des deutschen Verfassungsgebots, des friedlichen Zusammenlebens der Völker, explizit in der Hauptstadt Berlin, als der von Imperialisten weltweit beneideten und gehassten Heimat aller Religionen und dem neuen Anziehungs- und Fluchtpunkt für Dissidenten, Verfolgte und Bedrohte weltweit.

„IS (Islamic State) is an Islamic Jihadi organization working for the implementation of the Islamic system and creation of the Caliphate,“ Jamat-ul Ahrar‘s leader and a prominent Taliban figure, Ehsanullah Ehsan, told Reuters by telephone.
(15. August) In 2011, then St. Louis County Police Department chief Timothy Fitch attended the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) National Counter-Terrorism Seminar, an annual week-long Israeli training camp where US law enforcement executives “study first hand Israel’s tactics and strategies” directly from “senior commanders in the Israel National Police, experts from Israel’s intelligence and security services, and the Israel Defense Forces,” according to the ADL’s website. (…)
Former St. Louis Police Department police chief Joseph Mokwa is listed as having traveled to Israel as part of a LEEP conference in February 2008.
(4. August 2011) In June, the Law Enforcement Exchange Program brought 14 top level American police chiefs, sheriffs, and senior federal agents to Israel for a week-long program designed to strengthen American law enforcement counterterrorism practices by facilitating dialogue with and studying techniques used by their Israeli counterparts.
More than 175 law enforcement executives have participated in 12 NCTS sessions since 2004, taking the lessons they learned in Israel back to the United States.
(2. Dezember 2011) The Israelification of America’s security apparatus, recently unleashed in full force against the Occupy Wall Street Movement, has taken place at every level of law enforcement, and in areas that have yet to be exposed. The phenomenon has been documented in bits and pieces, through occasional news reports that typically highlight Israel’s national security prowess without examining the problematic nature of working with a country accused of grave human rights abuses. But it has never been the subject of a national discussion. And collaboration between American and Israeli cops is just the tip of the iceberg.
(15. August) Barghouti also pointed out on Twitter that the same Pennsylvania-based company, Combined Tactical Systems, whose tear gas and other crowd control products are used in the West Bank (most recently at a demonstration near the military prison known as Ofer), are now being used in Ferguson. (…)
The Guardian’s Jon Swaine tweeted a photo of an undetonated “mini bang” tactical grenade found in Ferguson, which was made by Combined Tactical Systems:
On July 2, three Israeli settlers kidnapped and murdered 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir from the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Shuafat. Yosef Chaim Ben David, 29, a shopkeeper from the settlement of Adam masterminded the plot. According to a published indictment, Ben David, along with two minors whose identities are protected by a gag order, forced Mohammed Abu Khdeir into a car and beat him with a wrench before forcing him to swallow gasoline. Autopsies found soot in Abu Khdeir’s lungs, indicating that he was burned alive.
Unmittelbar nach einem Interview im August im Z.D.F. mit Gerd Müller, in dem der Bundesentwicklungshilfeminister Katar im Zusammenhang mit der Finanzierung diverser Söldnertruppen nannte, schrillten in Berlin die Beschwerdeglocken mit heftigem Dementi aus dem Emirat.
Sofort kroch die Berliner Regierung dem katarischen Mammon zu Kreuze und das Aussenamt entschuldigte sich für diese “kindische” Aussage eines ihrer Kabinettgenossen im Öffentlich-Rechtlichen. Dieser hätte nur Medienberichte nachgeplappert, hiess es von der Sprecherin des Bundesentwicklungshilfeministeriums.
Das wird dem Untersekretär für Terrorismus und Finanzaktionen der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, David Cohen, sicher sehr missfallen, bemüht er sich doch gerade intensiv darum, eben diese Wege der Finanzierung von “Terroristen” plausibel nachzuzeichnen und am 6. September in der Washington Post in dem Artikel “Wie unsere Verbündeten in Kuwait und Katar den Islamischen Staat finanziell unterstützen” der geneigten Leserschar kundzutun.
Die Linkspartei fordert von Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) rasche Aufklärung über die Beteiligung Deutschlands an einer internationalen Zehner-Koalition gegen die Terrormiliz IS. Sie müsse umgehend Auskunft darüber geben, welche Zusagen sie beim NATO-Gipfel in Wales gemacht habe. »Teil einer Koalition werden, ist ein weitreichender Schritt«, kritisierte Parteichefin Katja Kipping bei »Handelsblatt Online«.
Zweieinhalb Jahre nach dem Sturz Gaddafis sind Libyens staatliche Strukturen dem Zerfall nahe. Am Montag haben Rebellen auf eigene Rechnung Öl verschifft. Der Premier soll abgesetzt worden sein.
The border security project includes 3,397 trainees, 60 trainers to supervise operations, eight command and control centers, 32 interrogation centers, three rapid response units as well as 38 back and front gates with surveillance cameras.
The forces will come from the Special Operations Regiment. No specifics were available on what type of work they‘d be doing, but Harper has said the Canadian Forces deployed to Iraq won‘t be involved in combat.
Before meeting with Obama, Erdogan underlined that a comprehensive strategy should be developed against terrorist organizations which have been exploiting the environment of chaos as a result of inaction against „the atrocities of the Syrian regime.“

Nachdem wir schon in Bezug auf 09/11 einen völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffskrieg hatten, der mit gefälschten Satellitenfotos der US- amerikanischen Bush- Administration, auf denen angebliche Fabriken im Irak, in denen chemische Waffen gelagert und hergestellt worden sein sollen, begann, haben wir aktuell den 2. großen Krieg, der mit einer offenbar bewussten Lüge begann.
Diesmal geht es um den letzten vom zionistischen Regime Israels geführten Krieg gegen die 1,8 Millionen Menschen im Gazastreifen.
Obama said the Washington would hunt down and dismantle the organization, which has seized swathes of Iraq and Syria, in the same way it had tackled al Qaeda since the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States and was doing to al-Shabaab in Somalia.
President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko had a phone conversation with President of Russia Vladimir Putin on the signature of the peace protocol following consultations of Trilateral contact group held on September 5 in Minsk.
The Heads of State stated that the ceasefire regime was generally observed. Petro Poroshenko and Vladimir Putin discussed steps to ensure sustainability of ceasefire.
The exchange of views also covered the consultations on the consequences for the Customs Union member-states of the entry into force of Ukraine’s Association Agreement with the EU.
Vladimir Putin and Petro Poroshenko agreed to continue their dialogue.

Now even the Shin Bet, Israel’s secret police, admits in court documents that the group behind the kidnapping and murder of the three Israeli youths in the West Bank in June was a rogue cell, comprising only four individuals. Further, the man named as the mastermind behind the plot was “lukewarm” about it.
At first, I thought this had to be a joke in the style of “The Onion”. Sadly, no. I have video of this dolt saying this on C-Span. I don’t know who’s more dangerous to humanity, Kerry or ISIS.
There are many more problems with the piece, starting with the idea that anyone can even measure whether someone has „peaked“ or not. But the whole thing has no facts in it, but just appears to be Politico‘s wishful thinking that this pesky outsider might just fade away.
Email exchanges between CIA public affairs officers and Ken Dilanian, now an Associated Press intelligence reporter who previously covered the CIA for the Times, show that Dilanian enjoyed a closely collaborative relationship with the agency, explicitly promising positive news coverage and sometimes sending the press office entire story drafts for review prior to publication. In at least one instance, the CIA’s reaction appears to have led to significant changes in the story that was eventually published in the Times.
Two weeks ago, the DOJ Inspector General released a report on the FBI‘s use of National Security Letters (NSLs)—the controversial (and unconstitutional) surveillance instruments used to gather personal information of Americans without any prior oversight from a judge. In a little-noticed passage buried in the report, the IG describes how NSLs have been used on journalists in the past, and indicates that the FBI can currently circumvent the Justice Department‘s media guidelines to do so in the future.
When and precisely how can they do so? Well, apparently that‘s classified.

I am proud to support the workers striking today for a living wage and the ability to unionize. I will continue to fight to ensure families receive fair wage for a fair day’s work.
(4. September) Die Arbeitnehmer streiken seit heute Morgen um 7 Uhr Ortszeit in 150 US-Städten. Sie fordern 15 $ / Stunde und das Recht, einer Gewerkschaft beitreten zu dürfen. Folgende Fast-Food-Ketten sind von dem Streik betroffen: McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s und KFC, die zum Konzern Yum Brands gehören.
(4. September) Fast food workers walked off the job nationwide on Thursday, as police arrested dozens who engaged in civil disobedience.
Organizers said workers in an estimated 150 cities were expected to take part in the strike, which they said marked an intensification of their two-year campaign to raise hourly pay in the industry to $15 and to win workers’ right to form a union. Organizers said dozens of workers had been arrested in cities including Kansas City, Detroit, and New York.
The leader of the Democratic congressional campaign committee, Rep. Steve Israel of Long Island, has published a journal of his visit to Israel August 3-9. You’d think the congressman has more important things to do than write up his breathless meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu amid “a cauldron of pressure,” but the congressman is a major fundraiser for his party. So the journal-keeping is time well-spent.
„NATO has always meant security, and there is a strong need for security right now,“ the premier added at the close of a two-day NATO summit in Wales after alliance leaders agreed to set up a multinational task force to fight ISIS in Iraq.
Never a dull moment. The Chicago Tribune reports on the news that broke Wednesday – that Rabbi Brant Rosen is out as Rabbi of the Jewish Reconstructionist Congregation in Evanston, Illinois. The Tribune cites tensions within the congregation over Rosen’s increasingly outspoken views on Israeli aggression against Palestinians. The war in Gaza it seems was the congregational last straw.
