Ein Lernprozess

Die russische Regierung äußert seit Jahren, sie erwarte wirtschaftliche Verluste in Milliardenhöhe, sollte das Abkommen wie geplant realisiert werden; sie sehe sich deshalb, sollte es zu keiner gütlichen Einigung kommen, zu wirtschaftlichen Abwehrmaßnahmen gezwungen. Berlin und Brüssel haben Verhandlungen mit Moskau stets brüsk zurückgewiesen – und erklären sich jetzt nur deswegen dazu bereit, weil Kiew vor dem ökonomischen Zusammenbruch steht und bei einer Realisierung der angekündigten russischen Maßnahmen tatsächlich kollabieren könnte.

Saudis acting ‘lapdog role’ for US in 9/11: Former CIA contractor

“We all know that was a massive false flag operation directly benefiting and involving [Israel’s] Mossad,” Kelley told Press TV on Sunday.

“We also know that ISIL is a fabrication, it is a child of the US and Mossad.”

Kelley said, however, that the Saudis were only playing “the lapdog role” and solely blaming them for the September, 11 attacks is an attempt by the US government to “deflect blame.”

HTTPS Everywhere

HTTPS Everywhere is produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site. The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by using a clever technology to rewrite requests to these sites to HTTPS.

«Mein Sound ist gut fortgeschrittene Verwesung»

Diese zierliche, schüchterne und stille Frau stellt sich auf die Bühne und schreit. Und schreit derart massiv und lange und ohne Unterbruch, dass sie einen ganzen Saal dauerhaft in ihren Bann schlägt. Ein kollektives Schaudern sozusagen. Es ist kaum zu fassen, was sie da rausholt und wie sie das rausholt. Nach der Performance ist sie wieder dieselbe stille Person wie vorher. Auch kein wenig heiser.

‚Es gibt ein NATO-Netzwerk in den deutschen Medien‘

Wenn ich nicht will, daß Streitfragen auf friedlichem Wege geklärt werden, bleibt mir nur die militärische Komponente. Auf die setzen die Amerikaner, weltweit. Die Taliban, gegen die unsere Soldaten zwölf Jahre lang in Afghanistan eingesetzt waren, sind eine amerikanische Schöpfung, die von den Saudis finanziert wurden, genau wie IS in Syrien und im Irak. Wir sehen das auch im Fall der Ukraine. Da legen der deutsche Außenminister und seine polnischen und französischen Kollegen Verständigungspapiere vor, alle stimmen zu, und anschließend sabotieren die rechten Kräfte auf dem Maidan im Interesse der USA jede Lösung. Wir müssen uns in Deutschland und in Europa auf die Hinterbeine stellen, um in diesem allgemeinem Trend nicht unterzugehen. Was wir brauchen, ist eine Rückkehr zu bewährten diplomatischen Verständigungsmitteln, die wir mit der ­KSZE bereits hatten, die aber zerstört worden sind.

‚War is madness’: Pope Francis says WWIII is happening already

„War is irrational; its only plan is to bring destruction: it seeks to grow by destroying,“ Francis said while visiting Italy’s largest war memorial Saturday. „Greed, intolerance, the lust for power. These motives underlie the decision to go to war and they are too often…“

„War is madness” which “ruins everything, even the bonds between brothers” the Pope said as he recalled the Genesis story of how Cain killed his brother Abel.
