A growing number of Americans, or 57 percent, don’t have a favorable opinion about her and say she is not honest and trustworthy, up from 49 percent in March who said the same, the survey shows.
The poll also found that 52 percent of people feel the former secretary of state, senator and first lady does not care about people like them, and 50 percent feel she does not inspire confidence.
FBI spokesman Christopher Allen claimed in a statement that the program is not clandestine. „Specific aircraft and their capabilities are protected for operational security purposes.“
The government claims that aerial surveillance is aimed at conducting criminal, terrorism or intelligence probes, but activists say the program is undermining civil liberties of citizens.
The UAWC in a report showed the consequences of this project, which aims to relocate 12,500 Bedouins from their homes, and isolate them in Al-Ezariyya town south Jerusalem and Izhiman and Nuway’imah in the Jordan valleys, which is considered ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, to expand illegal Israeli settlements.
According to the PNN, the report showed that about half a million dunams of lands will be evacuated, according to the Israeli project which is already being implemented. These areas will be converted into settlements, military training zones, in addition to nature reserves, making it impossible for the Bedouins to return to their homes, in addition to the catastrophe of ripping the occupied West Bank into two halves.
Bashar Qaryouti, Coordinator of Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements in Qaryout village, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, said Israeli extremists bulldozed and uprooted, on Tuesday morning, Palestinian lands in preparation to pave a road linking between two illegal colonies, built on the villager’s lands.
Khalil Tafakji, a Palestinian expert in Maps and the head of the “ and Geographic Information Systems Department“ of the Arab Studies Center in Jerusalem, said the Palestinian Authority intends to submit 160 files to the International Criminal Court (ICC), documenting Israel’s illegal settlement activities.
The SpongeBob Roundpants of the solar system, Saturn‘s moon Hyperion, shows off its weirdly cratered surface in pictures from what‘s likely to be its final photo op for the foreseeable future.
The ceremony included 4,000 people who came from regions all over Gaza. Among the newlyweds were several brides and grooms who had been wounded or disabled in the latest Israeli war last summer. Others have limited incomes and have been unable to finance a wedding independently.
The unexpected death of British parliamentarian Charles Kennedy at the age of 55 on Tuesday led to a national outpouring of grief across the political spectrum and from numerous corners of UK society.
Kennedy, former leader of the Liberal Democrat party and Scottish MP, had been regarded as a hugely likeable politician, but his career had long been marred by a hardly concealed drinking problem, which eventually led to his ouster from the leadership of his party in 2006.
As a strong critic of the government of Tony Blair, he took a strong stance against the introduction of tuition fees, the security state and, perhaps most memorably, UK involvement in the invasion of Iraq.
Nach offiziellen Angaben sind in Kolumbien in den vergangenen zehn Tagen bei Militäroffensiven der Streitkräfte in Zusammenarbeit mit der Polizei 39 Menschen getötet worden. Zwei der Opfer waren demnach Bauern, 37 Angehörige der Revolutionären Streitkräfte Kolumbiens (Farc), unter ihnen ein Delegierter der Guerilla bei den laufenden Friedensgesprächen mit der Regierung. 436 Personen sind vertrieben worden, zwei Menschen haben Morddrohungen erhalten.
Die Offensiven des Militärs finden trotz laufender Verhandlungen in der kubanischen Hauptstadt Havanna statt.
Die Diskussion über Möglichkeiten, russisches Gas zumindest teilweise durch algerisches zu substituieren, ist in Deutschland schon seit Jahren im Gange. Bereits im letzten Jahrzehnt gab es Pläne, denen zufolge ein europäisches Konsortium unter Beteiligung des Kasseler Konzerns Wintershall eine Gaspipeline aus Algerien durch das Mittelmeer nach Italien verlegen sollte. Das Projekt mit dem Namen „Galsi“ wurde allerdings auf Eis gelegt, da es wegen der fallenden Erdgaspreise zu kostspielig erschien. Eine Wiederaufnahme scheint inzwischen möglich, ist aber noch nicht gesichert. Im vergangenen Jahr brachte sich nun Spanien als mögliches Transitland für die Belieferung Zentraleuropas mit algerischem Erdgas ins Gespräch. Spanien deckt derzeit 50 Prozent seines Bedarfs aus Algerien, mit dem es über zwei Pipelines verbunden ist. Auf EU-Ebene wirbt Madrid gegenwärtig für den Bau einer Fortsetzungsröhre aus Spanien nach Frankreich, die algerisches Erdgas in die zentraleuropäischen Gasleitungen weitertransportieren soll. Damit könnten „zumindest zwölf Prozent des Gasimports aus Russland“ ersetzt werden, erklärt eine Sprecherin des Verbandes spanischer Gasunternehmen, Medigas.
Polen hat um der politischen Interessen der Europäischen Union willen das historische Gedächtnis seines Volkes verraten. Ist Dänemark zu was Ähnlichem bereit und zwar auf das Nationalvermögen zu verzichten?
Sen. Rand Paul is out the gate and already looking like the man to beat in three swing states.
Vor allem McConnells Parteikollege Rand Paul, den er zuvor noch in seinen Ambitionen auf das Präsidentenamt unterstützt hatte, hatte sich vor dem Senat gegen eine Verlängerung auch nur einzelner Aspekte des Gesetzes starkgemacht und diese damit fast im Alleingang verhindert. Stück für Stück, warnte der libertäre Republikaner aus Kentucky, hätte Washington es zugelassen, die Freiheit des Landes im Namen des Anti-Terror-Kampfes zu opfern.
Each June, our nation celebrates the immeasurable contributions of our nation’s LGBT community and recommits itself to the ongoing fight for full equality.
In recent years, we have made major strides towards greater equality. Marriage equality is now a reality in 37 states and Washington, D.C. and more people than ever are recognizing that love is love.
However, much work still remains.

Late Sunday the National Security Agency (NSA) shut down its bulk data collection program as the PATRIOT Act expired thanks to Paul’s efforts. He tells Breitbart News exclusively that “we’re excited by the fact that the battle has been won.”
“The president has been told in no uncertain terms—and by the end of the week this will be in writing—that he can no longer illegally collect all of Americans’ phone records and keep them in Utah,” Paul said.
„I don‘t know if he feels comfortable being with all those leftists…But he has a right to do what he‘s doing.“
Even Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a fellow Kentuckian who has endorsed Paul‘s presidential bid, expressed frustration about the procedural roadblock. Without naming Paul specifically, McConnell torched the „campaign of demagoguery and disinformation“ being waged by opponents of the NSA‘s surveillance programs during a fiery floor speech.
„To allow Obama officials to go around the country saying ‚You‘re going to die at the hands of ISIS and al Qaeda if we can‘t spy on you,‘ without noting that all the evidence negates it, that is irresponsible. It‘s stenography journalism.“
A military source in Aleppo affirmed to SANA in a statement that the operations inflicted heavy losses among terrorists’ ranks in Bustan Basha, Ansari, Marja, Shaar, Helwania, Beni Zeid, inzarat and Bab al-Nassr neighborhoods.
A number of terrorists were killed and injured in the army operations while their mortar launchers were destroyed.
Meanwhile, another army unit killed a number of terrorists and destroyed their vehicles including weapons and ammo in al-Mansoura village at the western countryside of Aleppo.
(25.Mai) The Obama Administration’s decision to arm the Syrian rebels – at one point even bypassing a US law against arming terrorists – did not alter the composition of the Syrian rebels and the weapons sent by the US into Syria ended up being captured by Al Qaeda and other Islamist militants.
But as the Pentagon document shows, the problem with the Obama Administration’s policy was deeper than its arms program. The US “allies” in the region such as Saudi Arabia and Turkey specifically wanted a Sunni-based Islamic State in order to undermine Assad and check Iranian influence in the region.
The United States has accused the Syrian military of carrying out air strikes to help Islamic State fighters advance around the northern city of Aleppo, messages posted on the U.S. Embassy Syria official Twitter feed said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said there was no new reset in relations with the United States, but that both sides engaged in a pragmatic and realistic dialogue, RIA news agency reported on Tuesday.
The international community has to explain „why so many terrorists are from Saudi Arabia, why so many from the Gulf, why so many from Egypt, why so many from Syria, and Turkey and from European countries?“
(17.Februar) Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi called for a United Nations resolution mandating an international coalition to intervene in Libya after its jets bombed ISIS targets there.
Asked if it would recommence its own action: „We need to do it again, and all of us together.“
Russland visiert neue Rüstungsdeals mit Ägypten an. Das nordafrikanische Land zeigt Kaufinteresse an Waffen für Luftwaffe, Landstreitkräfte und Flugabwehr, wie der russische Industrieminister Denis Manturow nach Gesprächen mit dem ägyptischen Präsidenten Abdel Fattah al-Sisi mitteilte.
Egyptian security services arrested two Muslim Brotherhood leaders late on Monday, security sources said, a day before a court is expected to give a final ruling on a death sentence recommendation against Mohamed Mursi, Egypt‘s former Islamist president.
Wie Hauptseite / Zeitung und Nachrichtenagentur von Radio Utopie bereits auf Twitter gemeldet haben, gab es nach der Aktivierung vom neuen SSL/TLS Zertifikat für sichere Verbindung (https) Kompatibilitätsprobleme bei unseren Seiten und Feeds. Hintergrund war, dass wir nur das aktuellste Verschlüsselungsprotokoll TLS 1.2 aktiviert hatten, nicht jedoch TLS 1.0 und TLS 1.1. Das führte zu Schwierigkeiten mit diversen Systemen im 1993 vom CERN der Welt geschenkten World Wide Web, im Allgemeinen mit dem Internet identifiziert. U.a. wurden unsere Feeds nicht mehr angenommmen. Auch unsere Android App NARU war außer Funktion. Wir haben die entsprechenden Protokolle mittlerweile aktiviert und die Kompatibilitätsprobleme behoben. Falls Euch noch etwas auffallen sollte, könnt Ihr das in den Foren unter User-Feedback melden.

(21.Mai) Some 24 ministers — including German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier — will also travel to Paris, as well as representatives from top international organizations, diplomatic sources said.
Foreign fighters joining ISIL militant network have been infiltrating into Syria through its border with Turkey, US Deputy Special Presidential Envoy Brett McGurk stated on Monday.
“Almost all of them [ISIL foreign fighters] are coming in from Turkey. We know that,” McGurk said.
More than 4,100 airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition have failed to stem gains by Islamic State radicals. France and the U.S. have pushed al-Abadi‘s government to open to Sunnis.
No sharp change in strategy is expected to be announced.
2020 interessieren sich womöglich nur noch Journalismus-Studenten dafür, dass es noch Zeitungen wie die Süddeutsche Zeitung oder die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung gibt. Viele journalistische Institutionen haben sich selbst den Boden unter den Füßen weggerissen, noch bevor es Facebook gab. Nun sind sie dem Unternehmen ausgeliefert.
This seems to happen all too often, but a local judge has forgotten about the whole 1st Amendment thing. Last week, Bergen County Superior Court Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca ordered the Bergen Dispatch to take down a news article. The article was about a specific family court case, involving custody of a child. It‘s not surprising that there might be some concern over privacy rights in such cases, but even so, that does not allow a judge to flat out order a newspaper to take down an article — even more so when the order came out of a closed hearing where no one from the newspaper was even present. In response, the Bergen Dispatch posted a fairly snarky article that reiterates some of the details from the case, and concludes with this wonderful paragraph:
Dr. Rand Paul is running for President to restore liberty, defeat the Washington machine, and unleash the American Dream for ourselves and for future generations.
(17.Juni 2004) “Not only is it inspiring and educating, but it’s proof that people can make a difference, that we can make a difference,” she said. “So, Michael, I know you’re out there tonight, and I just wanted to publicly thank you for sticking your neck out, for going against the establishment, for giving us the hope.”

“I think terrorist elements have watched very carefully what has happened here in the United States. Whether or not it’s disclosures of classified information, or whether it‘s changes in the law and policies, they’re looking for the seams to operate within,“ Brennan said on CBS‘s Face the Nation.
(1993) Whenever I talk to a band who are about to sign with a major label, I always end up thinking of them in a particular context. I imagine a trench, about four feet wide and five feet deep, maybe sixty yards long, filled with runny, decaying shit. I imagine these people, some of them good friends, some of them barely acquaintances, at one end of this trench. I also imagine a faceless industry lackey at the other end, holding a fountain pen and a contract waiting to be signed…
The internet (read: file sharing) has been public enemy #1 for the recording industry (and now the motion picture industry), despite offering a host of benefits to artists and labels. Those at the top see its decentralized distribution as a threat, with any accompanying gains in marketing power and reach deemed a net loss after totalling up the „lost sales.“
Albini — similarly affected by these same „negatives“ — doesn‘t see it this way.
Today in a news article, the New York Times described Palestinian refugees as posing a “demographic death warrant” to Israel. The article is about Israel’s response to the boycott movement, which supports the right of return of refugees:

BactoFil® B 10 – soil ameliorating microbial preparation for dicotyledons (e.g. sunflower, rapeseed). It considerably reduces – or even substitutes – the use of artificial N, P, and K fertilization, improves the soil microflora, and thus reduces the costs of tilling, and improves production parameters. It is suitable to be used in organic farming.
Components: bacterial strains (Azospirillum lipoferum, Azobacter vinelandii, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus circulans, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Micrococcus roseus), macro- and micro elements, vitamins.
Dosage: 1 litre / hectare (10.000 square meters)
Directions for use: The necessary amount of Bactofil® B10 is to be mixed with 50-400 litres of water (according to the type of spraying machine) and sprayed out before or at the time of sowing, immediately followed by ploughing for thorough penetration.
(1.Mai 12) Schließlich schafften sie es. 1991, als die Sowjetunion zusammenbrach, gab die Regierung Andalusiens nach, kaufte dem Duque das Land ab und übergab es der Bevölkerung von Marinaleda. Wenn die Alten davon erzählen, spiegelt sich Stolz in ihren Gesichtern. Das Gemälde vom Marsch auf „El Humoso“ ragt jetzt wie ein Symbol alter Kraft hinter dem Bürgermeister hervor. Jetzt, als er wieder um ihre Stimmen kämpft. Es ist derselbe Kampf wie damals. Auch die Feinde sind dieselben geblieben: „Sie werden uns Terroristen nennen, weil wir nicht für die Schulden der Banken bezahlen wollen! Die Sozialdemokraten spielen dieses Spiel mit, weil auch sie Kapitalisten sind! Deswegen dürfen wir keine Regierung mit ihnen bilden. Und deswegen will ich jetzt eure Meinung hören: Die Leute, die glauben, dass die Vereinigte Linke nicht mit den Sozialdemokraten regieren darf, heben jetzt die Hand!“ Unter den gemalten Arbeitern von „El Humoso“ erhebt sich ein Meer aus Händen. „Gegenstimmen?“ Keine.
Reducing working hours is more than a path to full employment. It could help millions live more fulfilling lives.(…)

The submarine will be operating in the Baltic under operational control of Commander Submarine Forces NATO (COMSUBNATO), Rear Admiral Matt Zirkle (USA N), who travelled to Tallinn to meet with the submarine and its crew. U34, commanded by Commander (j.g.) Stephan Pfeiffer (DEU N) will conduct operations in support of SNMG2 in the Baltic Sea.
In addition to meeting with U34’s crew, Rear Admiral Zirkle also met with Estonian Navy officials and the U.S. Ambassador to Estonia during the visit.
As the film points out, nothing less than systemic change is needed. The garment brands have created an unsustainable sourcing model that enables them to maximize their profits at the expense of workers. They created it and they have the power to change it.
(27.Mai) Demonstrations almost always help strengthen and focus a movement and keep an issue in the public eye. But they have also helped launch campaigns and revolutions, win the vote, overturn hated laws and bring down regimes.
Marches are always part of a wider process of organising and resisting, but as this (by no means definitive) list shows, they can be a catalyst for strikes, occupations and all sorts of civil disobedience. They are an indispensible method of bringing activists together with the much wider social base necessary for real change.

(31.Mai) Russland ist nicht das einzige Land, das sich mit Einreisesperren schützt. Die USA [6] führen ebenfalls eine Einreiseverbotsliste, die sie nach den islamistischen Anschlägen vom 11. September 2001 deutlich erweiterten. Diese US-Liste wird nicht offengelegt und es ist nicht möglich, dagegen zu klagen. Deshalb gab es in den letzten Jahren immer wieder Einreisewillige, die erst vor Ort erfuhren, dass gegen sie ein Einreiseverbot in die USA besteht.
Beide Gerichte vertreten die Auffassung, dass Jung nicht klageberechtigt ist. Im Mittelpunkt der juristischen Auseinandersetzung steht die Frage, ob Jung überhaupt ein Betroffener ist, der klagen darf. Außerdem ist es umstritten, ob das Grundgesetz es erlaubt, dass Einzelpersonen Völkerrecht einklagen – oder, ob das eben nur Staaten dürfen. Neben dem Artikel 26 stützt Jung sich bei seiner Klage auf den Artikel 25 des Grundgesetzes. Dort heißt es, dass die allgemeinen Grundsätze des Völkerrechts Bundesrecht sind. Der Kaiserslauterer argumentiert, dass hierzu das Gewaltverbot der UN-Charta gehöre. Die Drohneneinsätze verstoßen aus Jungs Sicht dagegen, weil dabei nicht nur Kombattanten, also militärische Streitkräfte, im Sinne des Kriegsvölkerrechts getötet werden können, sondern auch Zivilisten. Das verstoße gegen das Völker- und somit auch gegen Bundesrecht. Das Urteil des Oberverwaltungsgerichtes Münster lässt Revision beim Bundesverwaltungsgericht in Leipzig zu.
