Lobbyisten, Berater, Türöffner: Die Interessenkonflikte der Abgeordneten (Infografik)
„Wes Brot ich ess, des Lied ich sing“, lautet ein bekanntes Sprichtwort. Zu klären wäre beispielsweise, wessen Lied der CDU-Bundestagsabgeordnete Norbert Schindler singt: Das der Bürgerinnen und Bürger, von denen er monatlich mit einer stattlichen Abgeordnetendiät (8.667 Euro plus steuerfreie Kostenpauschale) ausgestattet wird? Oder das der Bauern- und Biospritlobby, die ihm Monat für Monat jeweils zwischen 3.500 und 7.000 Euro überweist?
Aussetzer beim IT-Gipfel: Spott über Merkels Suche nach dem F-Wort
Stille.
„Was war das dritte, Herr Höttges?“, fragt sie und winkt kurz darauf ab. „Er weiß es wohl selber nicht mehr“. Ungeduldig sucht Merkel weiter nach dem Wort. „Das war was ganz einfaches!“ sagt sie. Dann endlich fällt es ihr ein. „Festnetz!“ ruft sie erleichtert. Im Publikum löst sich Applaus, auch vom Telekom-Chef.
Im Nachhinein dürfte kaum jemand verstehen, warum ausgerechnet „Frequenzen, Förderung, Festnetz“ das Rezept für schnellen Netzausbau sein sollen. Aber wenigstens die Kanzlerin konnte sich über eine Rede freuen, die in Erinnerung bleiben dürfte.
Geheime Liste enthüllt: Private Firmen spionieren in NSA-Auftrag und scheffeln Millionen

Toxic Legacy Of US Assault On Fallujah ‘Worse Than Hiroshima’
Dramatic increases in infant mortality, cancer and leukaemia in the Iraqi city of Fallujah, which was bombarded by US Marines in 2004, exceed those reported by survivors of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, according to a new study.
The hidden documents that reveal the true borders of Israel and Palestine
The failure to ask for compensation arises because the Palestinian leadership believes that Israel has never defined its borders. They believe it because it is one of those things that “everyone knows”, and also because their legal adviser has told them that Israel does not have “determinate borders”. Consequently, they do not understand the legal distinction between Israel’s sovereign territory and the stolen land. The same adviser also told them that UN Security Council Resolution 242 “set forth” the boundaries of the Palestinian State. This is another nonsensical fiction. Resolution 242 says nothing about the position of any borders, nor could it, because the UN has no authority to tell a state where its borders are; that is for states to agree between themselves.
I believe that Palestine can make a strong case that, in terms of justice, international law, and viability, it deserves and needs a transfer of territory from Israeli sovereignty in the southern Negev (that is, south of Beersheba, the city itself being within the stolen land). This would achieve three things: provide territorial contiguity between the West Bank and Gaza; provide space for the returning refugees; and enable the Bedouin, if they so wish, to transfer from Israeli sovereignty to Palestinian sovereignty.

IronNet is a venture created by retired Gen. Keith Alexander, who stepped down as NSA director in March.
Departing GCHQ Boss Insists GCHQ Isn‘t Engaged In Mass Surveillance… If You Define ‚Mass‘ And ‚Surveillance‘ The Way He Does
With the UN declaring mass surveillance a violation of human rights, the proper thing for the world‘s biggest intelligence agencies — who regularly engage in mass surveillance — to do, might be to cut back on the practice and go back to targeted surveillance projects that most people find acceptable. Or, you know, they can do what the outgoing head of the GCHQ (the UK‘s equivalent of the NSA), Sir Iain Lobban, did and just redefine the English language. That‘s easier.

Recognizing Palestine—and political reality
After British MPs moved overwhelmingly to recognise the State of Palestine, the governments of Britain and Israel affected indifference in an attempt to undermine the vote’s significance. These dismissals mask a deep and growing anxiety about the direction of political traffic. “There is indeed reason to worry”, a senior Israeli diplomat acknowledged. “Not because it’s going to be translated into actual government policy, but because it’s a public opinion setter. It does create a trend“.

Gerichtliches Nachspiel für Castor-Transport nach Lubmin
Im Dezember 2010 war ein Atommülltransport vom stillgelegten Atomkraftwerk Rheinsberg in Richtung Lubmin bei Ludwigslust zum Halten gekommen. Demonstranten befanden sich auf und neben den Gleisen. Die Betroffene erinnert sich: Bremer Polizeibeamte, die den Transport begleiteten, sprangen aus dem Zug und kesselten die Schar der Demonstranten auf der Bahnböschung ein. Grund genug für die Staatsjustiz gleich 21 Strafbefehle zu versenden.
Zdebel: Schon ohne Fracking große Probleme bei Erdgasförderung
Zdebel warnt vor einer Irreführung der Bevölkerung durch die Bundesregierung: „Umweltministerin Hendricks und Wirtschaftsminister Gabriel behaupten, dass sie in ihrem geplanten Gesetzesentwurf Fracking verbieten. In Wahrheit wollen sie nur die Förderung von Schiefergas vorläufig verbieten, Fracking in Sandsteinformationen soll erlaubt bleiben.“ Das sogenannte Tight-Gas soll entgegen der sprachlichen Regelung in allen bisherigen Gutachten plötzlich in den Bereich der konventionellen Gasförderung fallen und erlaubt bleiben
Auf dem Weg zum Beijing Consensus? Wie Südafrika von China lernt
Die SOEs sollen nicht mehr privatisiert, wie es den neoliberalen Vorstellungen entsprechen würde, sondern neu strukturiert werden. Diese Neustrukturierung orientiert sich unter anderem an der Rolle von SOEs in China – ein Indikator für die Vorbildfunktion der Volksrepublik. Dies wird durch die Aussage des „Transnet Freight Rail“ (Teil des staatlichen Unternehmens Transnet) CEO Siyabonga Gamga gestützt: “If you want better co-ordination, the Chinese route is not a bad idea to have SOEs under one umbrella. Each one can be given a mandate, for example, to create jobs and new business opportunities and making sure there is technology in rural areas.” (Letsoalo/Molele/Naidoo 2012).

Bankenaufsicht und Geldpolitik: Die EZB zwischen Baum und Borke
Schließlich würden die unkonventionellen Maßnahmen zur Rettung angeschlagener Banken eine Kapitallücke bei der EZB öffnen, für die am Ende die Steuerzahler aufkommen müssen, und zwar die Steuerzahler in den wirtschaftlich gesunden Mitgliedstaaten. Deutschland müsste mindestens 25 Prozent des Ausfalls tragen. Damit verwandelt sich die WWU zunehmend in eine Transferunion – eine Entwicklung, die von der Bankenunion beschleunigt wird.
