Kennen Sie eigentlich die ENMOD-Konvention gegen Wetterwaffen aus dem Jahre 1976?
(11.9.2011) Ausdrücklich erwähnt werden:
– Erdbeben oder Veränderungen der Erdkruste
– Tsunamis
– Wetterphänomene wie Zyklone, Tornados, Wolkenbildung, Niederschlag/Regen
– Störung der ökologischen Balance einer Region
– Beeinflussung der Meeresströmungen, usw
Und das war 1976.

Zur Zeit beraten die staatlichen Weltmächte des Planeten über einen neuen Krieg. Der Militärpakt des Nordatlantiks (Nato) sprach sich vorerst gegen die Errichtung einer Flugverbotszone, also gegen Luftangriffe auf Libyen aus.

“There will be no boots on the ground in Iraq”
erklärte der U.S.-Verteidigungsminister am 12.August 2014 vor über zweihundert Marines auf dem U.S.-Militärstützpunkt Camp Pendleton, nachdem er nur einige Stunden zuvor in Sydney die Entscheidung zur weiteren offiziellen Entsendung von einhundertdreissig Elitesoldaten in den Nordirak bekannt gab. Die wirkliche Anzahl an Aufklärern der Fallschirmspringereinheiten und des militärischen Geheimdienst des Pentagons bleibt Militärgeheimnis.
Military Experts Predict More Boots on the Ground in Iraq
“Can we do what we think we need to do to take away the will of the enemy?” he asked during a presentation to Army officers Sept. 10 at the Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, in Fort Benning, Georgia.
“It‘s not about weapon systems, it‘s not about killing. It‘s about removing confidence in the enemy, removing the willingness to do what they think they need to do,” he said. “We‘ve lost our idea of what winning means, he said. The missions for the last 10 years have been to defeat, destroy al-Qaida or the Taliban. Both are still in place, he noted. “In fact they‘ve grown.”
U.S.-Gericht: Mörder-Camp ‘School of the Americas’ muss Namen offenlegen
(30.4.2013) 1996 hatte das Verteidigungsministerium das Trainingshandbuch mit den empfohlenen Verhörmethoden wie Folter, Hinrichtung, Erpressung und die Verhaftung der Angehörigen freigegeben.
Die New York Times schrieb 1996 in School of the Dictators:
“Das neue veröffentlichte Handbuch erinnert an ein Handbuch, das die Central Intelligence Agency an die nicaraguanischen Contras in den frühen 1980er Jahren verteilte, das Entführungen, Morde, Erpressung und die Einstellung von professionellen Kriminellen empfahl. Die Reagan-Administration hat diese Broschüre sogleich verleugnet als ihr Inhalt bekannt wurde. Doch die School of the Americas befürwortet weiterhin ähnliche Methoden für ein weiteres Jahrzehnt. Eine Institution, die so eindeutig ausserhalb der amerikanischen Werte steht und so hartnäckig immun zu reformieren ist, sollte ohne weitere Verzögerung geschlossen werden.”

The land surrounds Fort Benning, an active U.S. Army facility, and will serve as a demonstration site for longleaf pine restoration efforts in addition to providing hunting and recreational access.
The Army Compatible Use Buffer Program requires lands near the facility to meet compatability requirements with the post‘s national security mission.
„The Department of Defense is funding the acquisition of land outside the boundaries of Fort Benning and by buying this land outside of the post, it ensures that the land is not developed in ways that are not compatible with the Army‘s mission,“ Kevin Kramer, Georgia DNR region supervisor for Chattahoochee Fall Line Wildlife Management Area.
Saudi Arabia Cuts Oil Production in Apparent Effort to Keep Price Near $100 a Barrel

Facebook‘s ‚real name‘ policy is wrong, discriminatory, and potentially dangerous
There is now a petition underway to try to help Facebook see the error of its ways. Whether it pays off is anyone‘s guess, but Sister Roma‘s frustrating situation publicizes an important issue. It is often people in the public eye who choose to use a pseudonym. While this is done out of preference, it has the happy side effect of offering a degree of privacy and protection to family members. Ultimately Facebook needs to remember that it is a website — nothing more. Its approach to privacy over the years has annoyed, irritated and driven away many people, but now is the time for the network to stop throwing its weight around. If I want to be called Rebecca the One-Legged Unicorn on Facebook, why should I not be able to?
Of course, Facebook can impose whatever rules it wants to, but it should also expect to be asked to justify its policies.
Allow performers to use their stage names on their Facebook accounts!
Recently, Facebook has been locking many performers out of their accounts until they change their names to their „legal identity.“ According to Facebook, this is to help build „authentic“ community, but in fact it undermines the online communities we have built over the past several years using our stage names. Our chosen names are an important part of our identities and how we interact with our peers and audiences.

Springtime for Russophobia: Putin the “New Hitler” and Anti-Russian Propaganda
When the banksters who run America set their sights on the newest designated enemy of democracy, without fail the assault is preceded by information operations to convince a clueless public of the target state’s burning hatred for “freedom.”
Will NATO Liberate Jihadistan?
In thesis, everything would be settled. The Caliph becomes a contractor to NATO (well, he’s been on to it, sort of). The Caliph beheads Putin. The Caliph liberates Chechnya – fast; not the usual, deeply embarrassing NATO quagmire in Afghanistan. The Caliph, on a roll, attacks the BRICS – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The Caliph becomes NATO’s shadow secretary-general. And Obama finally stops complaining that his calls to Putin always end up on voicemail.
“Going After” the Islamic State. Guess Who is Behind the Caliphate Project?
The Islamic State (IS) militia, which is currently the alleged target of a US-NATO bombing campaign under a “counter-terrorism: mandate, was and continues to be supported covertly by the United States and its allies.

Israel jailed influential Palestinian writer „to remove him from society“
Prominent Palestinian professor and writer Ahmad Qatamesh spent a total of eight and a half years in Israeli prison without being charged or brought to trial.
During two separate stints in Israeli lockup, Qatamesh was held in administrative detention, a draconian practice in which Israel imprisons Palestinians for infinitely renewable six-month terms without charge or trial, using “secret evidence” against them.

The intolerable ease of being nasty on social media
Alongside the addiction to news broadcasts and finding reinforced areas on the street in case of a rocket strike, the increase in defamatory speech on social networks was a characteristic of Operation Protective Edge. Calls for the destruction of Gaza with its inhabitants, together with wishes that left-wing activists would die in a rocket strike or from cancer, became a matter of daily routine.

On the use of provocative analogies (Nazism, fascism)
Soon after Israel’s sweeping victory in the 1967 war with Egypt and Syria, it became clear that rather than returning the territory it conquered, Israel intended to occupy the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza, and much of the Golan Heights. Foreseeing where occupation might lead, Yeshayahu Leibowitz, one of Israel’s most prominent and acclaimed public intellectuals, philosophers, and scientists—and an Orthodox Jew—warned that if the occupation and the repression that enforced it continued, Israel would be in danger of succumbing to “Judeo-Nazism.”

‘Any Palestinian is exposed to monitoring by the Israeli Big Brother’
Our daily service dulls everyone’s sensitivity and this is reflected, for example, in running jokes about very personal things that come up in our intelligence material. Or, for instance, in the expression “blood on the headset”, or X’s marked on our headsets after assassinations.
Israel surveils and blackmails gay Palestinians to make them informants
Israel has sold itself internationally as a gay Mecca. (Here, here, and here, for instance.) This freedom is regularly cited by advocates for Israel in the west, making stark comparisons to Muslim societies that repress gays. Well here’s a new spin on that claim: reports that Israeli intelligence pried into Palestinians’ phone calls and internet activity so as to identify and blackmail Palestinian gays and turn them into informants against other Palestinians.
