NEIN!! Ausgerechnet dank einer EU-Verordnung (!!) kriegt jetzt Großbritannien eine Parodie-Ausnahme in ihre Copyrightgesetze,

und nicht nur das, es ist von „fair use“ die Rede. Das ist der Term, den die USA fĂŒr ihre (noch wesentlich weitergehenden) Copyright-Ausnahmen verwenden.

Die „Computerbild“ hat ĂŒber das Iphone berichtet, 20 Seiten mit FĂŒlltext gefĂŒllt,

Ja, nee, so lÀuft das nicht. Da waren noch Spuren von Fakten in dem Artikel nachweisbar. Dass man DAS bei Axel Springer noch erklÀren muss, dass das ein Problem ist!1!!

Israel Exploring Ways to “Lower Birthrate” of Palestinian Bedouins

“We have to take all the Bedouin and get them out of the desert a bit and bring them closer to a normal state from the perspective of legislation, life expectancy, education and livelihood,” Shamir said, as reported by the Israeli daily Haaretz. “Perhaps we could even deal with the phenomenon of multiple wives to reduce the birthrate and raise the standard of living.”

Ernst Wolff: Weltmacht IWF – Chronik eines Raubzugs

Ernst Wolff widmet sein Buch „den Menschen, die es nicht lesen können, weil der IWF ihnen den Besuch einer Schule verwehrt hat“. Bereits auf den ersten Seiten weist er nach, dass die GrĂŒndung des IWF nicht etwa, wie von vielen behauptet, der Errichtung und StĂ€rkung eines gesunden globalen WĂ€hrungssystems diente. Vielmehr stand dieser ganz im Zeichen der Neuordnung der Welt nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg. Hauptziel seiner Errichtung war es, die Dominanz der neuen Weltmacht USA zu zementieren.

Why Won‘t The Press Admit That CIA Director John Brennan Lied?

We‘ve been writing a bit about CIA director John Brennan and his continuing to misrepresent the truth and outright lie. As you probably know, back in March, Senator Dianne Feinstein revealed that the CIA had spied on the computer network being used by the Senate Intelligence Committee to investigate the CIA‘s torture program. As Feinstein revealed, while the computers had been set up by the CIA (for security reasons), there was a written agreement that everything on them would be considered the Senate‘s, and that the CIA was not to look at them. The CIA violated this agreement, after realizing (upon being questioned in a Senate hearing) that the Senate had in its hands a draft of the so-called „Panetta Report“ — an internal review of all the documents the CIA had given to the Senate staffers, which more or less confirmed all their findings about the CIA torture program. Apparently, the CIA never intended to turn over that report to the Senate staffers, but did. Rather than realize its mistake, the CIA then snooped on the network and more, including Senate staff emails.

Lutheran activists fear new church leadership will stifle criticism of Israeli occupation

According to retired church personnel of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America the new presiding bishop, The Rev. Elizabeth Eaton, is seeking to retrench the church’s position on Israel/Palestine. And they fear a witch-hunt against those church workers who demand substantive action on Israel-Palestine.

Dissenters in the church want the interfaith ecumenical dialogue trip-wire crossed. They want Jews of Conscience as their new dialogue partners and a Jewish-Christian solidarity based on justice for Palestinians.
