Lokführer-Streik: Einen Orden für den GDL-Chef!
Das Streikrecht ist ein Grundrecht. Es steht Arbeitnehmern und Gewerkschaften zu, ganz egal, für welche Tarifziele sie fechten. Nur politische Streiks sind in Deutschland verboten. Es spielt daher keine Rolle, dass es der GDL bloß am Rande um eine satte Tariferhöhung für die Lokführer geht, in erster Linie jedoch um ihren Anspruch, auch andere Bahnmitarbeiter zu vertreten: Streiks sind immer Machtkämpfe.
“Man kann nicht schlichten über das Grundgesetz”: Die Pressekonferenz der Gewerkschaft Deutscher Lokomotivführer
Weselsky erläuterte ausführlich, wie die Deutsche Bahn AG immer wieder, mit allen Mitteln, versuchte, der Gewerkschaft die von der Bundesregierung aus C.D.U., C.S.U. und S.P.D. geplante Beseitigung des Streikrechts in Form eines verfassungswidrigen Gesetzes zur Tarifeinheit in das Tarifangebot hinein zu mogeln.

XKEYSCORE und der CAST IRON Club: Die Total Beobachteten
Das vom U.S.-Militärgeheimdienst “National Security Agency” (N.S.A.) angeführte “Netzwerk globaler anlassloser Massenüberwachung”, dessen Ableger in der Republik laut der Parlamentsfraktion Bündnis 90/Die Grünen offenbar auch der Bundesnachrichtendienst (B.N.D.) ist, spioniert gezielt gegen Personen von Interesse und speichert dabei u.a. deren gesamte über Telekommunikationssysteme wie Internet oder Telefon eingegebenen Daten, Gespräche, etc, auf unbestimmte Zeit. Bezeichnung für diese Selektion bzw Kategorisierung dieser Individuen: CAST IRON.
Obwohl bereits vor den “Snowden-Enthüllungen” bekannt, wird dies bis heute praktisch nicht thematisiert.

Police misuse of Ripa powers to spy on journalists is systemic, MPs told
The National Union of Journalists has told parliament that police misuse of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act to snoop on journalists and their sources is “systemic and institutionalised” and is doing “irreparable damage” to the industry.
Michelle Stanistreet, the NUJ’s general secretary, told the home affairs select committee that police were routinely bypassing the need for judicial scrutiny to discover journalistic sources by using Ripa to go through phone records and other data.
Eine Runde Mitleid für … die armen Diskriminierungsopfer der Axel Springer SE. Denen ist der Suchtraffic weggebrochen.
Völlig überraschend und unvorhergesehen. *träneverwisch*
Former NSA Lawyer Says Reason Blackberry Failed Was ‚Too Much Encryption‘ Warns Google/Apple Not To Make Same Mistake
There are times that I wonder if former NSA General Counsel Stewart Baker is just trolling with his various comments, because they‘re so frequently out of touch with reality, even though he‘s clearly an intelligent guy. His latest is to join in with the misguided attacks on Apple and Google making mobile encryption the default on iOS and Android devices, with an especially bizarre argument: protecting the privacy of your users is bad for business. Oh really? Specifically, Baker engages in some hysterically wrong historical revisionism concerning the rise and fall of RIM/Blackberry:
Das kommt ja immer wieder vor, dass Banken böse Dinge tun. Auch durchaus unprofitable Dinge
„Hintergrund (in ganz kurz) ist, dass der damalige Chef der Wasserwerke mit der UBS Verträge über riskante Finanzgeschäfte geschlossen hat, und zwar ohne das Wissen des restlichen Vorstandes sowie gegen Zahlung einer nicht geringen Summe. Die UBS wollte die Verluste (knapp 500 Millionen €) dann von der Stadt Leipzig erstattet haben, die sich aber zu Recht dagegen gewehrt hat.“

Obama Syria Strategy Challenged by Allies for Sparing Assad

GRU-Veteran: Westen könnte Islamisten gegen Russland nutzen
„Die Extremisten nutzen den Islam für die politische Destabilisierung einiger Staaten und das wird kein gutes Ende nehmen“, sagte Puschkarjow in einem Interview für RIA Novosti. Der Ex-GRU-Offizier schließt nicht aus, dass die Spitzen der islamistischen Terrorbewegungen „unter dem Einfluss von Nato-Agenten“ stehen könnten. „Es gibt Grund zu der Annahme, dass amerikanische und britische Geheimdienste die islamischen Extremisten unterstützen könnten, um die territoriale Einheit Russlands zu gefährden.“

The billionaire’s super PAC and other green groups saw the vast majority of their favored candidates in the battleground states go down to defeat, despite spending an unprecedented amount of money to help climate-friendly Democrats in the midterm elections.
