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 âinternational communityâ 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 HĂ€upl macht mit
Unsere Politiker sind stets am Puls der Zeit
und dĂŒrfen daher im Sinne der nĂ€chsten 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 geÀchtet.

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 âold-time religionâ was developed by an early captain of consumer capitalismâwho 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-âdisengagementâ (2004) attack, and possibly the worst so far. At least 2,215 were killed and 10,000+ wounded, most of them civilians.

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.

BND spionierte fĂŒr NSA Leitungen der Telekom Austria aus
Das belegt eine interne E-Mail der Deutschen Telekom AG, die der grĂŒne Nationalratsabgeordnete Peter Pilz am Freitagvormittag prĂ€sentierte.

Regierung kopiert Internet-Daten an Netzknoten seit 2005, auch âvom und in das Auslandâ
(1.Mai) Diesen Mittwoch nun berichtete Radio Utopie von einer Kleinen Anfrage der Fraktion âDie Linkeâ an die Bundesregierung im April 2012. Diese beinhaltete unter Punkt 16 ausdrĂŒcklich die Frage nach der âĂberwachung von Telekommunikation..ĂŒber den Frankfurter Netzknoten DE-CIXâ durch den Bundesnachrichtendienst.
Stellvertretend fĂŒr die Regierung antwortete Kanzleramtsleiter Ronald Pofalla am 11. Mai 2012 den Abgeordneten ĂŒber das, was diese bereits damals wissen mussten. Pofalla wörtlich:
âGleichwohl wird die Bundesregierung nach grĂŒndlicher AbwĂ€gung dem Informationsrecht des Parlaments unter Wahrung berechtigter Geheimhaltungsinteressen nachkommen. Die Informationen werden als âGeheimâ eingestuft und dem Deutschen Bundestag zur Einsichtnahme ĂŒbermittelt.â
Nach unserem Artikel sprach Fritz Mielert, langjĂ€hriger Aktivist in der BĂŒrgerbewegung gegen Programm âStuttgart 21âł, via Twitter das Mitglied im Geheimdienste-Untersuchungsausschuss Konstantin von Notz (BĂŒndnis 90/Die GrĂŒnen) auf den Inhalt unseres Artikels an (wir berichteten).
Der Rechtsanwalt Dr. Konstantin von Notz dazu:
âZiemlich verquirlter Irrsinn.â
Es melde sich jetzt jeder weitere Ignorant, Contra, oder leidenswillige abendlÀndische Christ, der allen Ernstes behauptet, alle Regierungsmitglieder, alle Abgeordneten und alle Vertreter der Landesregierungen hÀtten seit fast zehn Jahren von all dem nichts gewusst.

Obamaâs Gulf Meeting Protocol: Shake Hands, Smile, Ignore Repression, Repeat
Washington DC is presently the converging point for some of the worldâs most oppressive regimes. On May 13th and 14th, President Obama is hosting a billionaire conglomerate known as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which consists of the Middle Eastern countries of Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and Oman. The cozy US-GCC relationship exemplifies the twisted nature of US foreign policy, especially in regards to one particular monarchy: Saudi Arabia.
