Kuba: US-Blockade ist zum Finanzkrieg geworden
Nach Angaben des stellvertretenden kubanischen Außenministers Abelardo Moreno richtet die Blockade der USA gegen Kuba immer größere Schäden an. Sie sei zu einem „Finanzkrieg“ geworden, sagte Moreno, als er der Presse den Bericht über die Resolution 68/8 an die UNO-Generalversammlung vorlegte, in der ein Ende der US-Strafmaßnahmen gefordert wird.
Cuba Provides Health Care to Everyone Instead of Spending Trillions on War
But in Cuba, it’s different. In Cuba, people are more important than profits. Instead of investing in bombs, Cuba invests in: 1) education, including medical training; and 2) decent housing and food for all Cubans: although Cuba is a poor country, no one is starving and no one is homeless.
Comcast Denies Allegations of Tor Crackdown: Users Should Continue to Report any Non-Neutral Activity
The Tor Project offers a web browser that allows anyone to use the Internet while obfuscating the location of the user, and keeping traffic encrypted and secure en route, thus enabling a level of anonymity. Tor is highly popular in countries with pervasive Internet censorship and surveillance, allowing users to circumvent government firewalls while hiding the origin of their traffic.
What’s more, the browser is a staple for journalists, activists, people in witness protection programs, and everyday users who are safer and more confident online with the level of anonymity Tor provides. In fact, at EFF we encourage the use of Tor and hope that people continue to set up relays to help make the network more robust.

Snowden & Greenwald Reveal PM John Key Lied About Kiwi Mass Surveillance; Key Hits Back By Calling Greenwald ‚A Loser‘
Over the weekend, Glenn Greenwald made it clear that he was going to reveal evidence of domestic mass surveillance on New Zealanders by the GCSB (the Kiwi version of the NSA). The plan was to reveal it at a political event organized by Kim Dotcom. Before Greenwald even had the chance, New Zealand Prime Minister John Key tried to preempt the story by claiming that the country had considered such options, but never actually went through with it. He also used the opportunity to toss out random ad hominem insults at Greenwald, because that‘s always convincing.

CIA‘s John Brennan Refuses To Tell Senate Who Okayed Spying On The Senate
As you may recall, over the past few months, there‘s been a rather big story brewing, concerning how the CIA spied on Senate staffers. Specifically, after having explicitly promised not to do so, the CIA snooped on a private network of Senate staffers who were putting together the giant $40 million report on the CIA‘s torture program. The CIA tried to spin the story, claiming that they only spied on that network after realizing that those staffers had a document that the CIA thought it had not handed over to the staffers (they had), believing that perhaps there had been a security breach. However, when read carefully, the CIA‘s spin actually confirmed the original story: the CIA, against basically all of its mandates and the basic concept of the Constitutional separation of powers, had spied on the Senate. While both the Senate and the CIA asked the DOJ to investigate, eventually the DOJ said the matter was closed and there would be no prosecutions.
Rand Paul: Obama‘s request to arm rebels in ISIS fight „a mistake“
„They‘re the weakest fighting force there,“ Paul said of the moderate Syrian rebels, pointing to a non-aggression pact with ISIS they reached last week. „Most of the arms we‘ve given to the so-called moderate rebels have wound up in the hands of ISIS because ISIS simply takes it from them, or is given them, or we mistakenly actually give it to some of the radicals. So the intervention in Syria has created a safe haven for ISIS and has made our problem much more difficult.“
