Kommentar des Departements fĂŒr Information und Presse des AuĂenministeriums Russlands zu den Aussagen des Vorsitzenden der MĂŒnchner Sicherheitskonferenz, Wolfgang Ischinger
In letzter Zeit gab es keinen Mangel an so genannten analytischen Materialien zur Ukrainethematik mit offen tendenziösem und provokativem antirussischen Charakter. Wir vermerken mit Bedauern, dass sich der Vorsitzende der MĂŒnchner Sicherheitskonferenz, Wolfgang Ischinger, in die Phalanx derjenigen eingereiht hat, die nicht vor der Verwendung von âdoppelten Standardsâ und der Erhebung von erdachten Anschuldigen haltmachen.
Telephone conversation with Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande and Petro Poroshenko
Mr Putin said that Russia hopes to see the establishment of a substantive, lasting dialogue between the central government authorities in Ukraine and representatives of Donetsk and Lugansk, as this would unquestionably contribute to generally stabilising the situation.

Everything Is Broken
the biggest of all the cultural problems still lies with the one group I havenât taken to task yetâââthe normal people living their lives under all this insanity.
The problem with the normals and tech is the same as the problem with the normals and politics, or society in general. People believe they are powerless and alone, but the only thing that keeps people powerless and alone is that same belief. People, working together, are immensely and terrifyingly powerful.
There is certainly a limit to what an organized movement of people who share a mutual dream can do, but we havenât found it yet.
Kanadischer Sicherheitsexperte: N.A.T.O. grosse Bedrohung fĂŒr ihre Mitglieder und den Rest der Welt
âDie N.A.T.O. lebt in einer einigermassen seltsamen Fantasiewelt. Es erinnert mich an den Warschauer Pakt. Auf einer bestimmten Ebene, mĂŒssen Sie wissen, ist jedes Wort, das sie sagen eine LĂŒge und doch wird es gesagt. Ich weiss ehrlich nicht, was los ist. Ich unterstĂŒtzte die N.A.T.O. in den Tagen des Kalten Krieges. Aber im Moment ist es gerade diese Vernichtung wie ein Moloch â dieses riesige Fahrzeug rollt zum Zermahlmen, Zerschlagung und Zerstörung auf.â
West making big mistake in fighting ISIS, says senior Israeli officer
A senior Northern Command officer said Thursday that the Western coalition is making a big mistake in fighting against ISIS.
The coalition forces‘ attacks against the Islamic State support the „radical Shi‘ite axis,“ the unnamed officer said. „A strange situation has been created in which the United States, Canada and France are on the same side as Hezbollah, Iran and Assad. That doesn‘t make sense,“ he said.

FBI Holds Secret Meeting To Scare Congress Into Backdooring Phone Encryption
In September, both Apple and Google announced plans to encrypt information on iOS and Android devices by default. Almost immediately, there was a collective freakout by law enforcement types. But, try as they might, these law enforcement folks couldn‘t paint any realistic scenario of where this would be a serious problem. Sure, they conjured up scenarios, but upon inspection they pretty much all fell apart. Instead, what was clear was that encryption could protect users from people copying information off of phones without permission, and, in fact, the FBI itself recommends you encrypt the data on your phone.
The Inside Story Of Matt Taibbiâs Departure From First Look Media
Taibbi and other journalists who came to First Look believed they were joining a free-wheeling, autonomous, and unstructured institution. What they found instead was a confounding array of rules, structures, and systems imposed by Omidyar and other First Look managers on matters both trivialâwhich computer program to use to internally communicate, mandatory regular company-wide meetings, mandated use of a âresponsibility assignment matrixâ called a âRASCI,â popular in business-school circles for managing projectsâas well as more substantive issues.

New Zealand‘s Trade Minister Admits They Keep TPP Documents Secret To Avoid ‚Public Debate‘
A couple years ago, then US Trade Representative Ron Kirk explained why the negotiating text of trade agreements like the TPP needed to be kept secret: because if the public debated it, the agreement probably wouldn‘t be approved. He used, as an example, a failed trade agreement where the text had been public. Beyond the „small sample size“ problem of this explanation, the much more troubling aspect is the obvious question of recognizing that if public debate would kill the agreement, perhaps it‘s the agreement that‘s the problem and not the public.

FBI‘s Use Of ‚Sneak And Peek‘ Warrants Still Steadily Increasing, Still Has Nearly Nothing To Do With Fighting Terrorism
Another tool supposedly „crucial“ to the War on Terror is just another lowly footsoldier in the War on Drugs. Some long-delayed reports on Section 213 „sneak and peek“ warrants have finally been released by the US government, providing more detail on the constantly-expanding use of delayed-notification warrants by the FBI.
While Section 213 didn‘t originate with the regrettable PATRIOT Act, it did coattail ride the government-expanding legislation into legitimacy. Robert Mueller, director of the FBI at the time, made this statement in 2005 defending the ongoing use of these warrants.
