Warum Vorratsdatenspeicherung unsere Freiheit einschränkt
Vorratsdatenspeicherung gefährdet die Arbeit in Berufen, für die Vertraulichkeit notwendig ist – also zum Beispiel Ärzt/innen, Jurist/innen, Seelsorger/innen und Journalist/innen sowie alle Menschen, die mit ihnen zu tun haben.
Gleiches gilt für politisch oder unternehmerisch Aktive, die der Vertraulichkeit bedürfen. Dadurch schadet Vorratsdatenspeicherung der freiheitlichen Gesellschaft.
Vorratsdatenspeicherung verstößt gegen das Menschenrecht auf Privatsphäre und informationelle Selbstbestimmung und widerspricht der europäischen Grundrechte-Charta.

US a Dangerous Ally: Former Australia PM. “The US will eventually bring Australia into a Direct Conflict with China”
Australia has always been strategically dependent on other great powers since gaining independence in 1901. It relied on the United Kingdom until World War II and then transfered that dependence to the United States afterwards. The relationship grew stronger with the signing of the Australia, New Zealand, United States Security Treaty in 1951.

Vom Nutzen des Waffenstillstands
Die jüngste Eskalation in Donezk und Mariupol, für die Berlin umstandslos die ostukrainischen Aufständischen oder gar Moskau verantwortlich macht, folgt auf Mobilmachungs- und Aufrüstungsschritte der Kiewer Regierung, die Beobachtern zufolge auf eine bevorstehende groß angelegte Militäroffensive schließen lassen. Kiew leitet zudem die langfristige Militarisierung des Landes in die Wege: Jugendliche und sogar Kinder sollen in Zukunft nicht nur eine „national-patriotische Erziehung“ durchlaufen, sondern in der Schule auch „den Umgang mit Gewehren und der Kalaschnikow lernen“. Das Europaparlament hat vor wenigen Tagen die Lieferung von „Schutzwaffen“ an die Ukraine ausdrücklich befürwortet; Berlin hat derartige Ausfuhren bereits im vergangenen Jahr genehmigt. Ergänzend zur Ausweitung des militärischen Konflikts bereitet Brüssel nun auch eine umfassende Propagandakampagne vor.

Wir verstärken die Gruppierungen, versorgen sie mit Waffen und Militärtechnik und koordinieren die Kampfhandlungen“, so Poltorak.

Ninetynine by Poordream
From Greek-born composer and sound designer John Valasis aka Poordream, comes his debut LP ‘Ninetynine‘. Recently added to Ninja Tune’s publishing house alongside artists Bonobo, Amon Tobin, and Flying Lotus, Poordream now offers this collection of songs that take the listener on an intense journey, set to explore the contrasts between earthly and urban, fragility and harshness, hope and despair.
«Wem gehört dieser Song?»
(13.1.11.) Der Mythos einer echten, unverfälschten, reinen Kultur wird auf witzige und kurzweilige Weise ad absurdum geführt, denn die Frage, woher dieses Lied ursprünglich stammt, lässt sich längst nicht mehr beantworten. Zu vielfältig sind die gegenseitigen Beeinflussungen der verschiedenen Kulturen. Zwar wird der Besitzanspruch zunehmend heftig verteidigt, aber mit jedem neuen Beispiel wird klar, dass die verschiedenen Kulturen viel mehr Gemeinsamkeiten aufweisen, als ihre Vertreter wahrhaben wollen. Es zeigt sich aber auch, dass eine historisch korrekte Antwort gar keine Rolle spielt, da die ideologischen Positionen stärker sind als alle Fakten.
