German magazine accidentally report Waterford Whispers story about a riot at Lidl as real news
As with everything they publish, it was intended to be funny, but German website focus.de took it at face value and published a story about the scenes of panic in the shop. Although they later recognised their error and changed their headline to reflect that it was satire, they originally ran with a headline that suggested it was the real deal.

‚We Are the World‘…. order? Social media slams NATOâs charity song performance

SOPA, anyone? Entertainment Lobby Uses Hearing on Domain Names to Revive Awful Censorship Idea
For many years, major U.S. entertainment companies have been trying to gain the power to make websites disappear from the Internet at their say-so. The Internet blacklist bills SOPA and PIPA were part of that strategy, along with the Department of Homeland Securityâs project of seizing websites that someone accused of copyright infringement. Hollywoodâs quest for more censorship power was on display again today at a House of Representatives committee hearing that was supposed to be discussing reforms at ICANN, the nonprofit organization that oversees the Internetâs domain name system

Libyen-Krieg: Bericht ĂŒber Treffen MilitĂ€rs arabischer Staaten am 18. Mai in Kairo fĂŒr Interventions-Absprachen, Frankreich und Italien involviert
Laut einer anonymen Quelle gegenĂŒber dem U.S.-Portal âDefense Newsâ treffen sich am 18. Mai in Kairo âGeneralstabschefsâ bzw âhochrangige MilitĂ€rsâ aus Saudi-Arabien, Ăgypten, Kuwait, Jordanien, Bahrain, Sudan, den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten und Libyen, um âInterventionsplĂ€neâ fĂŒr KriegfĂŒhrung auf libyischem Territorum abzusprechen. Im Zuge âlaufender GesprĂ€cheâ mit den Regierungen Hollande (Frankreich) und Renzi (Italien) seien Frankreich um Bodentruppen in Form von âSpezialeinheitenâ und Italien um ein Eingreifen mit MarinestreitkrĂ€ften ersucht worden. Eine Teilnahme der Regierungen Hollande und Renzi beim Treffen am 18. Mai in Kairo steht im Raum.
Gemeinsames Seemanöver mit China: Russischer Raketenkreuzer zum Mittelmeer unterwegs
Der Raketenkreuzer âMoskwaâ der russischen Schwarzmeerflotte hat den Hafen Sewastopol in Richtung Mittelmeer verlassen, um dort an gemeinsamen Ăbungen mit den chinesischen SeestreitkrĂ€ften teilzunehmen, wie der Sprecher der Schwarzmeerflotte, KapitĂ€n zur See Wjatscheslaw Truchatschow, am Donnerstag Journalisten sagte.
BG, mit dem das Bundesgesetz ĂŒber die Organisation, Aufgaben und Befugnisse des polizeilichen Staatsschutzes (Polizeiliches Staatsschutzgesetz – PStSG) erlassen und das Sicherheitspolizeigesetz geĂ€ndert wird – Stellungnahme:
Bei Verwirklichung dieses Gesetzesvorhabens besteht die Gefahr der VerselbstĂ€ndigung des sogenannten âStaatsschutzesâ in der Schaffung eines Systems, eines âinner circleâ, wobei die politische und verfassungsrechtliche Kontrolle völlig ausgeschaltet wird, da der Staatsschutz nach dem Entwurf völlig
geheim und abgehoben arbeiten kann. Die Schaffung von neun LandesĂ€mtern des Verfassungsschutzes als Organisationseinheiten der Landespolizeidirektion ist schon aus KostengrĂŒnden, aber auch aus ErwĂ€gungen der dadurch zusĂ€tzlich erschwerten Kontrolle
abzulehnen.
Betreffend die wirkungsorientierte Folgen abschÀtzung ist festzuhalten, dass nur einige, jedoch weitaus nicht alle Folgen abgeschÀtzt werden können.
Richter und AnwÀlte warnen lautstark vor Staatsschutzgesetz
Zu noch schĂ€rferen Worten greift der Rechtsanwaltskammertag. „Bei Verwirklichung dieses Gesetzesvorhabens besteht die Gefahr der VerselbststĂ€ndigung des sogenannten ‚Staatsschutzes‘ in der Schaffung eines Systems, eines ‚inner circle‘, wobei die politische und verfassungsrechtliche Kontrolle völlig ausgeschaltet wird, da der Staatsschutz nach dem Entwurf völlig geheim und abgehoben arbeiten kann.“

Yemen: Economically repressed country
Britain ruled Yemen for decades, followed by a dictator, ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh, backed by the US and Saudi Arabia, who ruled Yemen until his ouster in 2011 through a revolution. This only meant that Yemenis did not get a fair share of their countries wealth.

Es sieht gerade fast so aus, als scheitere Obama im Inland an seinen Parteigenossen in Sachen TPP. TPP ist fĂŒr den Pazifik, was TTIP fĂŒr den Atlantik ist.
Es steht zu vermuten, dass wenn Obama mit dem Pazifik nicht durchkommt, dass dann auch TTIP tot ist.
US Says ‚No‘ To Corporate Sovereignty Reform; Hungary Says ‚No‘ To Corporate Sovereignty
Last week we wrote about an attempt by the EU‘s Trade Commissioner, Cecilia Malmström, to „save“ the corporate sovereignty chapter in TAFTA/TTIP as more people wake up to its dangers, and resist its inclusion. Along with tinkering at the edges, her proposal for reform did have one more substantive idea: to create „a permanent multilateral investment court.“
âNYTâ plays shameless propagandist for Israelâs threats to kill Lebanese civilians
Israel is preparing for another war that kills masses of civiliansâ and itâs preparing its propaganda campaign early with the New York Times happy to help.
Todayâs Times has a long piece titled, âIsrael Says Hezbollah Positions Put Lebanese at Risk,â by Isabel Kershner, containing numerous warnings from Israel that it will strike Lebanese villages and kill civilians in order to get at Hezbollah forces. Some excerpts:
Rubioâs biggest backer says U.S. must be âglobal military powerâ so that we can sustain Israel
Over the weekend, we noted that both the NY Times and MSNBC covered Marco Rubioâs big money guy, Norman Braman, 82, a Florida businessman who is said to have committed at least $10 million to the campaign, with scant reference to his Israel agenda.
In âBillionaire Lifts Marco Rubio, Politically and Personally,â the New York Times said that Braman has âan ardent commitment to Israel and a seemingly limitless bank account,â but left it at that.

UK Plans To Do Away With Free Speech… In The Name Of Free Speech
Last fall, we noted that UK Home Secretary Theresa May had made it clear that if her Conservative Party were re-elected, one of the first orders of business would be a new „Extremist Disruption Orders“ plan that would outlaw any speech or events that the government declared „extremist.“ She wasn‘t kidding around. Following last week‘s election in the UK, David Cameron appears to be announcing just such a plan to basically wipe out anything resembling free expression in the UK (and, yes, I know, the UK doesn‘t view free expression in the same way as the US does, and there‘s nothing like the First Amendment there — you don‘t have to point that out in the comments). The broad-reaching plans seem absolutely insane:
Globaler Krieg: Grossbritannien und Deutschland sollen zu faschistischen Polizeistaaten transformiert werden
(2.Juli 2007) Berlin, London: Kurz und knapp â die VorfĂ€lle in London und Glasgow sind von der neuen Brown-Regierung inszenierte false-flag-Attentate in einer ganzen Reihe von Ereignissen auch an diesem Wochenende, um im âGlobalen Kriegâ die Transformierung der konstitutionellen Monarchie Grossbritannien und der Republik Deutschland in faschistische Polizeistaaten zu forcieren.âSicherheitsgesetzeâ in Berlin und London werden in diesen entscheidenden Stunden des 21.Jahrhunderts in den Tempeln der Exekutiven beschworen. Kollaborateure des Faschismus und des Krieges drohen mehr oder weniger offen mit verdeckten militĂ€rischen (âterroristischenâ) Operationen im Inland, wenn sich die Ăffentlichkeit und die gelĂ€hmten Legislativen nicht beugen.
Cameron schafft dann mal den total Polizeistaat inklusive Presse-Vorzensur ein.
Ich krieg hier gerade meinen Unterkiefer gar nicht vom Boden gestemmt. Gut, das ist England, die sind noch nie durch Menschenrechte oder Achtung der MenschenwĂŒrde aufgefallen. Aber das hier ist krass.
Medizinischer Durchbruch in England! Lord Janner konnte trotz seiner Demenz noch 203 Mal im House of Lord abstimmen!
Wie schlimm war die Demenz denn? Na so schlimm, dass sie ihn deshalb nicht wegen der KindesmissbrauchsvorwĂŒrfe anklagen konnten!
UK‘s Cameron to set out new laws to tackle radicalism
British Prime Minister David Cameron will on Wednesday set out new laws intended to curb organizations and individuals who promote militant ideologies at home and recruit young people to radical islamist groups abroad.
DHS is using state police to set up a national domestic drone spying program
The Illinois State Police announced that the FAA has authorized what it calls its ‚Unmanned Aircraft System Program‘. It‘s a F***ING surveillance drone program, for god‘s sake! DHS/Police are trying to mask what it really is by calling it an ‚Unmanned Aircraft System Program‘.
College Student Tells Jeb Bush: âYour Brother Created ISISâ
Jeb Bush has been having a hard time this week after justifying his brotherâs 2003 invasion of Iraq. But the heaviest criticism did not come from his political opponent Hillary Clinton, who has been silent. It came from a 19-year-old college student, Ivy Ziedrich. After a meeting in Reno, Nev., on Wednesday, Ziedrich, a member of the local Young Democrats chapter, challenged Bush on his assertion that the Islamic State terrorist group was a consequence of the Obama administrationâs withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
Psychiatric drugs kill 500k+ Western adults annually, few positive benefits â leading scientist
Commenting on the negative side effects of such pharmaceutical drugs, GĂžtzsche argued the âshort-term reliefâ appears to be replaced by âlong term harm.â
âAnimal studies strongly suggest that these drugs can produce brain damage, which is probably the case for all psychotropic drugs,â he said.
Looks Like CIA‘s ‚Torture Revealed Osama‘s Courier‘ Story Now Even More False Than Previously Believed
In Hersh‘s version, the plan had been to kill bin Laden, and later (perhaps weeks later) come up with a story saying bin Laden had been killed by a drone strike. A few things went wrong — including one of the US helicopters famously crashing, and there was enough buzz that the US rushed to publicly announce the killing, including Obama‘s famous speech that, apparently, created havoc since it messed up a bunch of previously agreed to things about how the killing would be presented, and was done without first clearing it with the intelligence community. This resulted in the CIA being rushed in to concoct some cover stories, and some CIA officials quickly realized that this would be a fantastic way to pretend that torture had been useful:
