John V. Walsh – Kann China Amerika in Schach halten?
„Kann Amerika China in Schach halten?” wird oft im Westen gefragt. Ausgehend von Amerikas endlosen Kriegen und Angriffen gegen die Entwicklungsländer der Welt sollte die Frage jedoch lauten: „Kann China Amerika in Schach halten?“ Oder zumindest: kann China die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika zurückhalten, mehr Schaden in Ostasien und vielleicht auch anderswo in der Dritten Welt anzurichten?

Schäuble, Platter: faschistischer Polizeistaat auch in Österreich und Schweiz geplant?
(4. September 2007) Troja, vor einigen Tausend Jahren.
Der griechische Seher Kalchas vor Troja zu den griechischen Soldaten: “Unterziehet euch nicht ferner den Mühseligkeiten eines gewaltsamen Kampfes, denn auf diesem Wege kommt ihr nicht zum Ziele: besinnet euch vielmehr auf irgendeinen ANSCHLAG, der euren Schiffen und euch selber zum Heile gereichen mag.”
“Ihr Elenden, sehet ihr nicht, daß wir die Straße zum Hades hinunterwandeln? Daß wir am Rande des Verderbens stehen?
Ich schaue die Stadt mit Feuer und Blut erfüllt, ich sehe es aus dem Bauche des Rosses hervorwallen, das ihr mit Jauchzen auf unsere Burg hinaufgeführt habt. Doch ihr glaubet mir nicht, und wenn ich unzählige Worte spräche.”(Kassandra von Troja, nicht zu dem Pferd, sondern zu den Trojanern)
“..Bist du ganz irre geworden in deinem Geiste, daß du dich öffentlich auf den Straßen herumtreiben magst und nicht siehest, wie die Menschen dich verachten, törichte Schwätzerin? Kehre zurück in dein Haus, daß dich nicht Schlimmes treffe!” (Die Trottel von Troja, auch Trojaner genannt, die nicht mal den Unterschied zwischen sich und dem Trojanischen Pferd begriffen)
aus Gustav Schwab, Die klassischen Sagen des Altertums, Der Untergang von Troja.
Chaos Computer Club Zürich: «Das NDB-Gesetz ist eine Gefahr für die Schweiz»
„Das NDG verstösst gegen die Verfassung (etwa den Schutz der Privatsphäre) – es besteht keine Verfassungsgrundlage für präventive Überwachung. Kommt es durch, hat der Geheimdienst praktisch unlimitierte Überwachungskompetenzen in Telefon- und Internet – ohne jegliche Transparenz, ohne Kontrollinstanz, die irgendjemandem öffentlich Rechenschaft schuldig wäre.“

Hamas Official: Abbas is Thwarting Reconciliation
“Whenever reconciliation moves a step forward, he takes several steps backward,” Mousa told Ma’an.
He urged Abbas to “leave” because “he isn’t part of the solution anymore, but rather a problem to the Palestinian national liberation project, and poses a huge threat to the Palestinian plight and to the unity of the Palestinian people.”
Netanyahu’s intifada
Palestinians across East Jerusalem say that the violence that is shaking Jerusalem is not an intifada– yet. It is an unorganized Palestinian response to Israeli aggressive actions, including the visits by religious Jews to the Haram al Sharif or Temple Mount in the Old City. But it is not an uprising all over Palestine, as a third intifada would be.
That could begin in the blink of an eye.
