French journalists Thomas Dandois and Valentine Bourrat face trial by the Indonesian authorities in West Papua on October 20, 2014, on charges of “abusive use of entry visas”, after being arrested while making a documentary film in August.
Dandois and Bourrat were arrested after meeting with Areki Wanimbo, the head of the Lani Besar Tribal Council in the Papuan highlands, who has also been detained.
Ezili Dantò ist preisgekrönte Stückeschreiberin, Poetin und Menschenrechtsanwältin. Von ihr erfahrt ihr die Wahrheit über das ‚ARME‘ Haiti, das mit Gold und wertvollen Metallen und vielem mehr gesegnet ist, was aber den US-MULTIS die Milliarden einbringt, die Haiti dringend nötig hätte. Und obendrein tun die Amis, was sie außer Bomben werfen am liebsten tun: dem unterdrückten Land eine neue Verfassung schreiben. Wie für Deutschland und Japan, wie für Afghanistan und den Irak und für Haiti und viele der ‚Bananenrepubliken‘. Lest selbst um ihren Kampf gegen die Regierung der USA und gegen die UNO.
NM: Foreign intervention has to get out of the Balkans. What has made the situation worse is definitely the NATO intervention and the breaking up of Yugoslavia. And that made things catastrophic. And if you take a look at the elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina last Sunday … it is not democracy, because half of people didn’t go to vote and the others all voted for nationalistic parties. People are not getting along and the military presence and the bombings, and the war which was created by NATO and the NATO forces have made things worse.
„We have seen no evidence at this time to corroborate claims of civilian casualties. I can assure you that before any mission, every precaution is taken to ensure civilians are not harmed,“ US Central Command spokesman Colonel Patrick Ryder said.
Journalists grill Chuck Hagel‘s recent claims that Russia is on the doorstep of NATO during the daily State Department briefing.
US State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki and Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby have been challenged over the Department of Defense‘s claims that the US must “deal” with “modern and capable” Russian armed forces on NATO‘s doorstep.
What could a national resistance party in Gaza, an international jihadist organization in the northern Levant, and the state of Iran have in common? The Prime Minister would have you believe they all adhere to the same doctrine of militant Islam that is forever at war with the rational, liberal, ever-philanthropic West. Yet, with an accusation as inaccurate as George W. arguing that Iran and Iraq had anything in common other than a border, Netanyahu could only hope that the West heard “Muslim, Muslim, Muslim,” and jumped on its Crusading bandwagon.
Islam isn‘t just at the heart of the terror threat posed by the Islamic State. The religion is also contributing to the other major crisis plaguing the globe: the spread of Ebola.
(14. Oktober) Donovan told Reuters that the request, which would come on top of more than $1 billion in federal funds currently available, would be made in the coming weeks as Congress reconvenes in November to consider a massive spending bill for the 2015 fiscal year.
„Our expectation is that we will be talking to Congress about additional needs,“ Donovan said at the Reuters Global Climate Change Summit in Washington.
(13. Oktober) Speaking at the World Bank’s annual meeting with the International Monetary Fund, Kim said that the Bank’s work on climate change was informing its response to the deadly disease, which has killed over 4,000 people mainly in West Africa.
“Ebola and climate change have a few things in common. Most importantly, we are running out of time to find solutions to both,” he said.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, „There is no epidemiologic evidence of Ebola virus transmission via either the environment or fomites that could become contaminated during patient care (e.g., bed rails, door knobs, laundry). However, given the apparent low infectious dose, potential of high virus titers in the blood of ill patients, and disease severity, higher levels of precaution are warranted to reduce the potential risk posed by contaminated surfaces in the patient care environment.“

In Zeiten der Kirchenskandale und steigender Kirchenaustritte bedarf es einer neuen Religion. Denn nur allzu gerne möchten Menschen die Halt und Leitlinien in ihren Leben suchen glauben, dass die Menschheit Sünde auf sich geladen hat, der Weltuntergang vor der Tür steht und dieser nur abgewendet werden kann, wenn man seine Sünden bereut, die Menschheit zu einem Besseren bekehrt und aktiv dabei mitwirkt. Man erkauft sich Ablass von seiner Schuld und rette die Welt vor dem drohenden Untergang. Was kommt da passender als der drohende Weltuntergang durch den menschengemachten Klimawandel?

(27.08.2013) Was nach einer unvorstellbaren Prognose klingt, ist nichts anderes als der vom U.S. Geological Survey kühl errechnete Endpunkt dessen, was offenbar unabänderlich abläuft: der Meeresanstieg als Folge des Verbrauchs aller fossilen Brennstoffe durch sieben, bald sogar neun Milliarden Menschen.
On September 22, 2014, the amount of sea ice surrounding the continent of Antarctic reached its maximum for the year, which also turned out to be the highest extent we have ever recorded there, even in decades of monitoring.
(21. Oktober 2013) Wie die US-Weltraumbehörde Nasa mitteilt, hat sich das Meereis in der Antarktis Ende September über eine Fläche von 19,47 Millionen Quadratmeter erstreckt. Das sei der höchste Wert seit Beginn der Messungen.
Das Ergebnis basiert auf Daten des Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) an Bord des japanischen Satelliten „GCOM-W1“.
(30. September 2012) Sollte Ihnen diese Meldung irgendwie seltsam vorkommen,so hat das einen guten Grund. Über die Eisausdehnung in der Antarktis wird in unseren Medien nämlich so gut wie gar nicht berichtet. Dort gibt es nämlich aus der momentanen Sicht der Propheten eines nahenden Hitzetods nicht nützliches zu vermelden.

“We’ve seen Russian aggression in Eastern Europe, we’ve seen ISIS, we’ve seen some increased instability in other places,” the general told a military conference. “So I now have a concern whether even going below 490,000 [troops] is the right thing to do.” Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced in February that the Army would shrink to about…
(6 September 2013) The flow of interstellar gas and dust through the solar system was thought to be unvarying, but Frisch et al. (p. 1080) show that there has been a significant variation of the direction of the flow of interstellar helium through the solar system over the past 40 years. The data, collected by 10 different spacecraft over much of the space age, hint of changes rather than constancy in the solar system‘s galactic environment.
(14. Februar 2014) „What is really missing here is our understanding of the physics,“ Schwadron said
(5. Oktober 2008) Magnetische Felder sind eine komplizierte Angelegenheit, wenn es darum geht, sie in einem Modell zusammenzufassen, daher werden sie bei kosmologischen Simulationen üblicherweise nicht berücksichtigt.

These 10 new tracks are heavy and haunting, while lyrically poignant and continuing the story of a working class family living in post-WWII America. ‚Letters Home‘ revolves around the father of two brothers that listeners were introduced to in two of Defeater‘s prior releases (2008‘s ‚Travels‘ and, most recently, 2011‘s ‚Empty Days & Sleepless Nights‘), giving a background to the character and seeing some of the events from those past albums through his eyes.
The entire sun‘s magnetic polarity, flips approximately every 11 years — though sometimes it takes quite a bit longer — and defines what‘s known as the solar cycle. The visualization shows how in 1997, the sun shows the positive polarity on the top, and the negative polarity on the bottom. Over the next 12 years, each set of lines is seen to creep toward the opposite pole eventually showing a complete flip. By the end of the movie, each set of lines are working their way back to show a positive polarity on the top to complete the full 22 year magnetic solar cycle.
(2. Okt. 2013) Seit 1979 hat die Stärke des Erdmagnetfelds nach Satellitenmessungen weltweit um 1,7 Prozent abgenommen – zehn Mal stärker als erwartet. Diese Beobachtungen stützen sich unter anderem auf Daten des deutschen Forschungssatelliten „Champ“. Die Veränderung finde zudem nicht gleichmäßig statt: Über dem Südatlantik sei die Feldstärke sogar um zehn Prozent gesunken. Auch über der Karibik ist das Feld deutlich schwächer geworden. Wer nach Südamerika über den Atlantik fliegt, belastet seine Gesundheit durch die stärkere kosmische Strahlung etwa so stark wie auf 1000 Flügen in den Fernen Osten.
(07. Oktober 2008) Dass das Erdmagnetfeld Klima und Temperaturen auf der Erde beeinflusst, wird schon lange vermutet. Wie dies geschieht, war jedoch unklar. Jetzt haben Forscher…
Patrick Dowd continues to work as a senior NSA official while also working part time for Alexander’s IronNet Cybersecurity, a firm reported to charge up to $1m a month for advising banks on protecting their data from hackers. It is exceedingly rare for a US official to be allowed to work for a private, for-profit company in a field intimately related to his or her public function.
The Orthodox Christian Valaam Monastery, located on a lake island in the northwestern part of the country, has embraced cheese-making on its farm. It bought new equipment and sent its agricultural manager, Father Agapiy, to Italy to learn the trade first-hand.
As the great unwinding of the more extreme climate alarmist positions gathers momentum, “The Conversation” provides us with a hilarious new excuse for some of the wild claims made by climate scientists over the years. Apparently they weren’t lying or exaggerating, they were “oversimplifying”.
