Exclusive: US Gives Uzbekistan Military Equipment Boost
The United States is giving Uzbekistan hundreds of military vehicles, says a top U.S. diplomat in an exclusive interview with VOA Uzbek. It is one of the largest equipment transfers by the United States to a Central Asian nation and a move likely to renew concerns over Uzbekistan‘s human rights record.
Daniel Rosenblum, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Central Asia, said Uzbekistan needs the vehicles for counter-terrorism and counter-narcotic efforts.
US to always support territorial integrity of Central Asian countries – State Department
The US will always support the territorial integrity and independence of each country in Central Asia, said the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Central Asia Daniel Rosenblum during a telephone press conference Feb.10.
“We will support the independence, as well as sovereignty and territorial integrity of each Central Asian country as before,” said Rosenblum.
He said that the US plans to expand cooperation with the countries of the region in security sphere.
“We do not want to see the countries of Central Asia as a haven for terrorists,” said a spokesman for the US State Department. “We are for the expansion of our cooperation in security, as well as confronting such transnational threats as terrorism, drug trafficking and “Islamic state.”
Earth‘s Inner Core Found To Have A Core Of Its Own
“For example, over the history of the earth, the inner core might have had a very dramatic change in its deformation regime. It might hold the key to how the planet has evolved. We are right in the center — literally, the center of the Earth.”

Saarbrücker Cybersicherheits-Studenten entdecken bis zu 40.000 ungesicherte Datenbanken im Internet
Am meisten erschreckte die Studenten die Kundendatenbank eines französischen börsennotierten Internetdienstanbieters und Mobiltelefoniebetreibers, die Adressen und Telefonnummern von rund acht Millionen Franzosen enthielt. Laut Aussage der Studenten befanden sich darunter auch eine halbe Million deutscher Adressen. Die Datenbank eines deutschen Online-Händlers inklusive Zahlungsinformationen hätten sie ebenfalls ungesichert vorgefunden. „Die darin gespeicherten Daten reichen aus, um Identitätsdiebstähle durchzuführen. Selbst wenn diese bekannt werden, plagen sich die betroffenen Personen noch Jahre danach mit Problemen wie beispielsweise Verträgen, die Betrüger in ihrem Namen abgeschlossen haben“, sagt Backes.

The death of the Israeli left
The Israeli left, if it has ever existed at all, is dead. The Israeli Peace Camp, the preferred way to designate the left in the Israeli context, breathed its last breath about 15 years ago and has never been resurrected.
Obama To Germans Worried About NSA Surveillance: ‚Hey, Trust Us!‘
It‘s often been said that trust is something that you earn — or that you completely destroy in irredeemable ways. So it‘s a little bizarre to see President Obama trying to restore German trust in the US (and specifically over NSA surveillance) with a bogus „hey, trust us“ line, when his own government has spent the past few years doing everything possible to undermine any residual trust. Yet here he is, in a joint appearance with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, asking for „the benefit of the doubt.“
Obama, Merkel press conference: “Oh… Greece! I forgot, yes!”
“Oh… Greece! I forgot, yes!” German chancellor Angela Merkel was talking like a waterfall about the Ukraine crisis, about policies and politicians… and Ops! She forgot Greece, the issue that is currently shaking the European Union, the Eurozone and the markets.
Guest post: Why IMF’s Greek program cannot work: wrong fiscal multipliers and wrong forecasts
Why is the Greek austerity program wrong and the bailout conditions totally wrong? Because the IMF “Multiplier” was wrong! Remember the International Monetary Fund report from June 2013 admitting that the IMF failed to realize the damage caused by the austerity and that IMF applied wrong fiscal multipliers? “Hence the Troika and the bailout conditions for Greece are wrong and the Greek govt is perfectly within its rights to ask for new one, that is not based on errors” notes our economist friend Cheshire Cat, who sent us an article explaining the madness.
United Arab Emirates Resume Airstrikes Against ISIS
The United Arab Emirates on Tuesday launched a series of airstrikes in Syria, returning to combat missions against the Islamic State for the first time since December.
U.S.: Key Arab ally no longer flying ISIS airstrikes over Syria
The United Arab Emirates, an important part of the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), stopped flying combat missions over Syria late last year after a Jordanian pilot was captured, two U.S. officials said Wednesday.

French Government Declares Independence From Free Speech: Broad Internet Take-Down Powers Now In Place
As its plan to completely shatter the support it received recently by attacking the very same concept of free speech its enemies declared war upon with terrorist attacks on a parody magazine not so many weeks back, the French government‘s ability to be laughable and simultaneously dangerous never ceases to amaze.
7 Fascist Regimes Enthusiastically Supported by America
President Barack Obama inspired a great deal of debate when, in December, he asserted that it was time for the United States to begin to normalize relations with Cuba and start loosening the embargo that has been in effect since the early 1960s.
Lügen und Drohungen
Demgegenüber erklärte der Präsident des BND, Gerhard Schindler, er gehe mit einem „guten Gefühl“ in die „Diskussion“ über die Kooperation mit den US-Geheimdiensten. Dass diese die von seinem Spionageapparat erhobenen Daten für Drohnenangriffe und illegale Hinrichtungen nutzen, problematisierte er nicht.
Aufruf der Studenten von der Krim an die Studenten der Ukraine
Seid gegrüßt, Studenten der Ukraine! Die Krim, über die Ihr so viel in Eurem Videoaufruf gesprochen habt ist meine Heimat! Hier bin ich geboren und ging zur Schule. Hier bin ich aufgewachsen. Ihr sagtet, dass das Referendum unter vorgehaltenen Waffen stattfand? Wart Ihr etwa hier vor Ort? Ihr nicht die Freudentränen der Krimeinwohner gesehen. Ihr habt auch nicht gehört, wie sie sich gegenseitig zu
Labor leader attacks Netanyahu for going easy on Gaza
Remember that 95 percent of Jewish Israelis supported the Gaza slaughter of last summer. The Gaza onslaught killed more than 2100 Palestinians, including about 500 children. More than 70 Israelis died, almost all soldiers. This is a rightwing polity.
New Labor ad: Netanyahu didn‘t hit Gaza strongly enough, early enough. #IsraeliLeft #Peacecamp

Muslims are Nazis, ‘USA Today’ jokes
Above is a cartoon, by Cameron Cardow of the Ottawa Citizen, that USA Today selected as its daily editorial cartoon for February 2. It’s not a terribly hard cartoon to parse: Islam is the modern equivalent of Nazism, and threatens a new Holocaust.
