BKA hört Reporter des Bayerischen Rundfunks ohne plausiblen Verdacht ab

Oliver Bendixen ist Polizeireporter des Bayerischen Rundfunks. Kontakte zu LKA-Beamten brachten ihn in den Fokus von BKA-Ermittlern, die seine Telefonate mit Polizisten mitschnitten. Das wurde bereits im letzten Jahr bekannt, Antworten auf zwei Schriftliche Anfragen des bayerischen Grünenabgeordneten Sepp Dürr bestätigen nun, wie implausibel jeglicher Rechtfertigungsversuch für diese Maßnahmen bleibt.

Die Europäische Union arbeitet heimlich mit der Kernindustrie Israels seit mindestens sechs Jahren zusammen. Ein internes Dokument, das ich vor kurzem erhielt, zeigte, dass 2008 eine Vereinbarung zwischen der EU und Israel unterzeichnet wurde, zum Zwecke „gemeinsamer Kooperationsinitiativen zur friedlichen Nutzung von Kernenergie“. „Dies ist eine „diskrete“ Vereinbarung und soll nicht öffentlich gemacht werden“ sagt der Text weiter.

Israel, the commander said, should impose a no-fly area over the buffer zone and allow the moderate opposition fighters to continue eastward, toward Damascus.

“Israel could down any plane above that area and no one would blame it,” he continued. “Refraining from doing this means collaborating with the Assad gang in our murder.

On August 9, 2014, a Ferguson police officer gunned down 18-year-old Michael Brown, shooting him at least six times. In the wake of his murder the city of Ferguson, Missouri erupted into a mass uprising against police violence sustained for over two weeks, the likes of which the United States has not seen in decades. One month before, on July 8, Israel began its vicious assault on the people trapped in Palestine’s Gaza Strip, slaughtering over 2000 people, around 500 of them children. This wave of terror lasted until August 26, the same day Michael Brown’s body was buried.

Berliner SPD-Chef über Ceta-Abkommen: Investitionsschutz nicht mit der SPD

Sie sagen: Kommt der Wirtschaftsminister mit Ihren Forderungen nicht durch, soll er Ceta stoppen. Die Bundesregierung spricht aber bisher von „übergeordneten politischen Gründen“, die trotzdem für das Abkommen sprechen könnten.

Aus meiner Sicht sind unsere Souveränität und die Freiheit vor Erpressungsversuchen eindeutig ein übergeordnetes Interesse gegenüber privaten Profitinteressen.

Full text of PM Narendra Modi‘s statement after his discussions with Xi Jinping

I raised our serious concern over repeated incidents along the border. We agreed that peace and tranquility in the border region constitutes an essential foundation for mutual trust and confidence and for realizing the full potential of our relationship. This is an important understanding, which should be strictly observed. While our border related agreements and confidence building measures have worked well, I also suggested that clarification of Line of Actual Control would greatly contribute to our efforts to maintain peace and tranquility and requested President Xi to resume the stalled process of clarifying the LAC. We should also seek an early settlement of the boundary question.

Similarly, we discussed India‘s concerns relating to China‘s visa policy and Trans Border Rivers. I am confident that their early resolution would take mutual trust to a new level.

We had a productive discussion on regional and international developments and agreed to strengthen our strategic dialogue on these issues. We both understand that India and China have a shared interest in a peaceful and stable region, including peace, stability and prosperity

Israelis Angry At Court Ruling On Africans

On September 16, 2013, Israel‘s Supreme Court overruled an amendment that the Knesset tacked on to the country‘s Anti-Infiltration Law in January 2012. The amendment authorized the automatic incarceration without trial of all Africans who enter the country asking for asylum. Since the amendment came into effect, about 2,000 Africans have been jailed by Israel. The court now ruled that they must be released. The next day, on September 17, 2013, residents of South Tel Aviv, where about 30,000 African asylum-seekers already live, protested the court‘s decision.

“May you be raped in your grave,” says new darling of Israel’s ruling Likud party

(13. Oktober 2013) Members of the racist mob harassed a small group of Israeli leftists present to ensure that Africans were not attacked.

“Go find somebody to fuck you,” one man taunted a woman. “If you want to have ‘black sex’ I can give it to you.”

Marching around with her megaphone, Golan joined in the abuse. “She wants cock in the face,” Golan cried. “The ‘infiltrators’ [Africans] you help will give you cock in return.”
