Bereits vor Jahrzehnten entwickelte das Militär der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika den Plan ein eigenes ziviles Passagierflugzeug in der Luft gegen eine unbemannte “Drone” auszutauschen, um es dann selbst abzuschießen. Ebenso wurde der Plan einer “Terrorkampagne” in der eigenen Hauptstadt Washington, sowie die Versenkung eines US-Kriegsschiffes autorisiert. Ziel war es, diese Vorfälle einer feindlichen Macht zu unterstellen, vor der Weltöffentlichkeit das Opfer zu spielen und nachfolgend eine Invasion starten zu können.
Jahr der Entwicklung des Plans: 1962. Zielobjekt: Kuba.

Joshua Keating bringt es auf den Punkt: „The U.S. Will Not Ratify Any Treaty Unless It Has to Do With Fish.”
Solange sich also an den Machtverhältnissen im Senat nichts grundlegend ändert, bleiben die Aussichten für die Ratifikation des Umfassenden Teststopps düster. Schon jetzt sind die Demokraten meilenweit entfernt von einer Zweidrittelmehrheit (zur Erinnerung: 67 Stimmen): Sie stellen 53 Senatoren, die Republikaner 45; dazu kommen noch zwei Unabhängige.
Beyond the invisibility cloak, the work could have applications for military, industry.
The prototype developed by the researchers works in black and white, with shades of gray, but Yu said it could be designed to work in the full color spectrum. Similarly, he said while the prototype is less than one-inch square, it can be easily scaled up for manufacturing.
The flexible skin of the device is comprised of ultrathin layers, combining semiconductor actuators, switching components and light sensors with inorganic reflectors and organic color-changing materials in such a way to allow autonomous matching to background coloration.

Die Aufrüstung der irakisch-kurdischen Streitkräfte durch die Bundesrepublik, die die deutschen Militärs in Erbil begleiten, hat mittlerweile begonnen. Sie soll überwiegend über den Flughafen Leipzig/Halle abgewickelt werden, über den bereits US-Truppen in den Irak-Krieg geflogen wurden.[7] Die Transporte werden auch mit Hilfe des ukrainisch-russischen Joint Ventures „Ruslan Salis“ abgewickelt, das seit 2006 militärische Transportflüge für die EU und die NATO durchführt; seine Tätigkeit wird durch den Konflikt mit Russland nicht eingeschränkt.[8] Das Volumen der Rüstungsausfuhr (german-foreign-policy.com dokumentiert die Lieferpläne hier) veranlasst Berliner Regierungsberater inzwischen, eine ausführliche Debatte über die Mittelostpolitik zu fordern. Die deutschen Waffen würden absehbar dazu beitragen, „das Machtgefüge in der Region zu verändern“ – und „darüber müsste zumindest diskutiert werden“, erklärt Markus Kaim von der „Forschungsgruppe Sicherheitspolitik“ der „Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik“ (SWP): Man müsse umgehend klären, „was unsere politische Ordnungsvorstellung für diese Region ist“.[9]

„There is an idea that serving in the intelligence corps does not include moral dilemmas, and only contributes to the lessening of violence and harm to innocents,“ wrote the insubordinate soldiers in their letter. „But during our military service we learned that the intelligence corps is an inseparable part of the military control of the territories“

Dozens of reserve soldiers from Israel‘s top electronic surveillance unit say they will no longer spy on Palestinians living under occupation, an unprecedented rebuke to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s security policies.
In the H2 section of Hebron movement is restricted, street by street, for tens of thousands of Palestinians as settlers slowly take over more land.
Stuck between an urban settlement and various streets that Palestinians are banned from walking on is a family home. There a deaf mother lives with her son who was born with one arm.
A group of, mostly Israeli, volunteers spent the day helping to clean up the yard, which is their only pathway home.

The NYPD has a message for Muslims who even consider asserting their rights by filing suit against the department‘s religiously-motivated, unconstitutional spying: If you sue us to demand your rights, we will try to undermine them even further.
