Why Ship to Gaza is Sailing Again

Consequently, the catastrophe on the Mediterranean and the catastrophic blockade of Gaza are related. Both are caused by misanthropic policies, despotic regimes, crumbling states. Both are caused by an ‘international community’ that prefers to look the other way rather than take its responsibility. In this situation, humanitarian organisations like Ship to Gaza and Doctors Without Borders are forced to act by sending boats to Tripoli and Gaza City to advance human dignity.

Die vegane Lebensweise boomt und Michael Häupl macht mit

Unsere Politiker sind stets am Puls der Zeit
und dürfen daher im Sinne der nächsten Wahlen auch keinen Trend verpassen.

Derzeit gibt es einen unglaublich hohen Trend
hin zur veganen Lebensweise.
Die Vegetarier werden gerade noch akzeptiert
und wer noch immer zu den armseligen Fleischfressern gehören sollte,
wird von den Veganern sowieso geächtet.

Michael Häupl hat zwar keine gesündere

The Secret History of American Religion: Christian Fundamentalism Started As a Capitalist Ad Campaign

Christian fundamentalism was invented in an advertising campaign, according to a new book by historian Timothy Gloege, Guaranteed Pure: The Moody Bible Institute, Business, and the Making of Modern Evangelicalism. The all-American brand of “old-time religion” was developed by an early captain of consumer capitalism—who wanted to sell pure Christianity like he sold breakfast.

Amnesty International: Whitewashing Another Massacre

Basic Background: July 2014 marked the onset of the Israeli massacre in Gaza (I will dispense with the Israeli sugar-coated operation names). The Israeli army trained for this attack for several months before finding a pretext to attack Gaza, shattering an existing ceasefire; this was the third such post-“disengagement” (2004) attack, and possibly the worst so far. At least 2,215 were killed and 10,000+ wounded, most of them civilians.

Nochmal langsam lesen: … keine Kartellabsprache IM EIGENTLICHTEN SINNE… Wie bitte? Zurecht wird das in einigen Medien als eine Art Eingeständnis interpretiert, dass es in der Sache damals nicht so ganz mit rechten Dingen vorgegangen ist:

Briefing note – 15 May 2015: Civilians Facing Abduction and Torture in Libya

UNSMIL’s reporting is based on documentation including testimonies and official documents such as forensic reports, but often specific sources are not indicated for fear for their safety. In some cases identifiable details of the victims themselves are not disclosed for the same reason. The cases mentioned in this document are only some of those known to UNSMIL, and are illustrated here to show the spread and gravity of the ongoing abuses.

Tribesmen ban popular drug in southern Yemen

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and allied tribesmen overran the city of Mukalla — capital of the vast Hadramawt province — last month, in part because of heavy fighting elsewhere between Shiite rebels known as Houthis and loyalists of Yemen‘s internationally recognized president, backed by Saudi-led airstrikes.
The tribesmen, who refer to themselves as „Sons of Hadramawt,“ on Thursday distributed pamphlets saying qat chewing is banned and that violators „will be held fully responsible under Shariah law,“ without elaborating.

FBI now claims its stingray NDA means the opposite of what it says

Not only can stingrays, or cell-site simulators, be used to determine location by spoofing a cell tower, but they can also be used to intercept calls and text messages. Once deployed, the devices intercept data from a target phone as well as information from other phones within the vicinity. For years, federal and local law enforcement have tried to keep their existence a secret while simultaneously upgrading their capabilities.

Regierung kopiert Internet-Daten an Netzknoten seit 2005, auch “vom und in das Ausland”

(1.Mai) Diesen Mittwoch nun berichtete Radio Utopie von einer Kleinen Anfrage der Fraktion “Die Linke” an die Bundesregierung im April 2012. Diese beinhaltete unter Punkt 16 ausdrücklich die Frage nach der “Überwachung von Telekommunikation..über den Frankfurter Netzknoten DE-CIX” durch den Bundesnachrichtendienst.

Stellvertretend für die Regierung antwortete Kanzleramtsleiter Ronald Pofalla am 11. Mai 2012 den Abgeordneten über das, was diese bereits damals wissen mussten. Pofalla wörtlich:

“Gleichwohl wird die Bundesregierung nach gründlicher Abwägung dem Informationsrecht des Parlaments unter Wahrung berechtigter Geheimhaltungsinteressen nachkommen. Die Informationen werden als „Geheim“ eingestuft und dem Deutschen Bundestag zur Einsichtnahme übermittelt.”

Nach unserem Artikel sprach Fritz Mielert, langjähriger Aktivist in der Bürgerbewegung gegen Programm “Stuttgart 21″, via Twitter das Mitglied im Geheimdienste-Untersuchungsausschuss Konstantin von Notz (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen) auf den Inhalt unseres Artikels an (wir berichteten).

Der Rechtsanwalt Dr. Konstantin von Notz dazu:

“Ziemlich verquirlter Irrsinn.”

Es melde sich jetzt jeder weitere Ignorant, Contra, oder leidenswillige abendländische Christ, der allen Ernstes behauptet, alle Regierungsmitglieder, alle Abgeordneten und alle Vertreter der Landesregierungen hätten seit fast zehn Jahren von all dem nichts gewusst.
