Ergebnis der Parlamentswahlen Januar 2015 in Griechenland
Wie die Ergebnisse der Parlamentswahlen am 25 Januar 2015 in Griechenland zeigen, hat die SYRIZA einen klaren Wahlsieg errungen, während die in einer Größenordnung von reichlich 10% zurückliegende Nea Dimokratia (ND) ungefähr das selbe Ergebnis wie bei den Wahlen im Juni 2012 erreicht, das damals zu der Koalitionsregierung ND – PASOK – DIMAR führte.
Call for protests against the NATO Securityconference 2015
In 2014, German President Gauck used the SiKo as a platform for promoting greater German participation in these wars. Germany needed to involve itself militarily „sooner, more decisively, and more substantially“, he said. German Foreign Minister Steinmeier and Minister of „Defence“ von der Leyen pushed the same line. For our ruling power elite, the supposed „military restraint“ is nothing but a relict of the past. Germany‘s new great-power politics – camouflaged as „global political responsibility“ – has become a component of a propaganda offensive by government-lining politicians and media, and the guideline of German foreign policy. Even support for the regime in Kiev, with its fascist participation, is accepted.

The Many Problems with the DEA‘s Bulk Phone Records Collection Program
Think mass surveillance is just the wheelhouse of agencies like the NSA? Think again. One of the biggest concerns to come from the revelations about the NSA’s bulk collection of the phone records of millions of innocent Americans was that law enforcement agencies might be doing the same thing. It turns out this concern was valid, as last week the government let slip for the first time that the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) had also been collecting the phone records of Americans in bulk since the 1990s.

Britons: You Have 72 Hours to Stop The Snooper‘s Charter
Directly after the Charlie Hebdo massacre, we cautioned the public and politicians to be „wary of any attempt to rush through new surveillance and law enforcement powers.“ With depressing predictability, we‘ve already seen that happen across the continent. Nowhere, however, has the attempt to bypass democratic debate been more blatant than in the United Kingdom, where a handful of unelected peers has taken the language of an old and discredited Internet surveillance proposal, and attempted to slam it, at outrageously short notice, into the wording of a near-complete counter-terrorism bill.
