(15.Juni 2015) Die Europäische Union ist ihrem Ziel, die Kleinstaaterei im Internet zu überwinden, einen Schritt nähergekommen

(4.November 2012) Deutschland will die nigerianische Armee dabei unterstützen, eine zentrale Fahndungsstelle im Anti-Terrorkampf aufzubauen. Wie die „Financial Times Deutschland“ berichtet, soll ein deutscher Verbindungsmann des Bundeskriminalamts (BKA) in die Hauptstadt Abuja reisen.

(29.Mai 2015) You may recall that last December the Security Council considered a resolution to call for an end to the occupation, and that the motion failed because it only got eight yes votes. Nigeria abstained after it had been expected to support the resolution. Now Nigerian Foreign Minister Aminu Wali has apologized to the Palestinian Authority for abstaining. From Middle East Monitor, citing the newspaperAl Quds:

The statement said that Wali has officially apologised to the Palestinian ambassador, citing huge pressure put on his country pushing it to vote against the Palestinian motion. He said that the pressure amounted to a “national security threat”.

The statement does not say who applied the pressure.

(5.September 2011) PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan may have set up a probe committee primarily of Israeli and the United States of America (USA)-recommended intelligence officers to examine the entire Nigerian security apparatus.

The joint operation known as MOSSAD and the CIA, led by the Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Moshe Ram, is also to oversee the MOSSAD probe of the Nigerian security agencies against the suspected infiltration of sympathisers of Islamic terrorism.

As it transitions to Africa, 3rd Group will focus primarily on northern and western Africa, Wilson said. This could include deployments to countries such as Libya, Djibouti, Kenya, Mauritania and Mali.

(1.Januar 2011) In zwei brutalen Diktaturen, die von den USA und ihren alliierten Staaten wie Deutschland gestützt und finanziert werden, ereignen sich am Neujahrstag obskure Attentate. Die Darstellungen der „Sicherheitsbehörden“ sind absurd, widersprüchlich und wechseln blitzschnell. Die Presse folgt ohne zu fragen. Aus dem Hut gezogen werden wieder einmal die „Islamisten“ und die „Al Kaida“. Betrieben wird nach der alten römischen Strategie „Teile und Herrsche“ die Spaltung der unterdrückten und ausgebeuteten Bevölkerung in sich bekämpfende Christen und Muslime.

(21.6.2013) The Washington Times reports that 400 U.S. troops will go to Egypt’s Sinai to “curb riots,” and report on “violations” to the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. If Israel’s security is threatened, troops will “engage.”

(25.6.2013) The U.S. soldiers, who came from the Army’s 1st Cavalry Division, were ordered to remain in Sinai for at least nine months. On June 19, the troops underwent riot control exercises at Fort Hood, Texas that included mock firebomb attacks.

(25.11.2012) On Facebook, Armed Forces spokesman Colonel Ahmed Ali said the Armed Forces would never accept the presence of foreign troops or bases on Egyptian soil.

The only foreign forces present in Egypt are the Multinational Force and Observers, comprising elements from 13 countries, working since the Israeli withdrawal from Sinai in 1982 to ensure that both sides comply with the peace agreement, Ali said.

(11.September 1975) New London – Thomas C. „Pete“ Walker of New London, national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, says that under no circumstances should the United States place its military forces in the Sinai.
„The Sinai must never become a Middle East variaton of Southeast Asia,“ Walker said in a statement.

Egyptian army’s challenge is not only to destroy ISIS’ forces, but to prevent it from establishing strongholds in Sheikh Zuweid and El Arish, which would allow it to conduct a prolonged war of attrition.

In reality, the United States spends closer to trillion dollars a year on its current and former soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, intel agents and their equipment—and also the paramilitary “homeland security” personnel whose equivalents in many other countries are uniformed troops.

Die USA hätten es nun mit vielen gleichzeitigen Herausforderungen sowohl von anderen Staaten als auch von „überregionalen Netzwerken unterstaatlicher Gruppen“ zu tun, darunter die Terrormiliz Islamischer Staat (IS). Alle würden die technische Entwicklung etwa durch Soziale Medien und Internetangriffe zu ihrem Vorteil nutzen.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff today said the new National Military Strategy takes into account increasing disorder in the world and the erosion of America’s comparative advantage.

WASHINGTON — America’s new military strategy singles out states like China and Russia as aggressive and threatening to US security interests, while placing states such as Iran and North Korea in a list of opponents who pose “serious security concerns” to America and its allies.

It also warned of growing technological challenges and worsening global instability.

The Pentagon has released a new National Military Strategy, the first update to that document since 2011 — one that warns the threat of major war with another nation is „growing.“

The strategy is being updated to reflect the new global security situation, one in which the US is facing near-peer adversaries like Russia and China while simultaneously having to handle diffuse militant groups like the Islamic State.

Sure, Freedom of Information laws are great, but they have their downsides. For one thing, they clearly signal to agencies which records are being sought. It‘s unavoidable. To answer a request, an agency needs to know what it‘s looking for. Once the request is out in the open, efforts can begin in earnest to excise information anyone affected doesn‘t want made public.

I‘m not saying anyone did anything wrong, but it very definitely looks like someone did something deliberately wrong.

Am Freitag, den 22.05.2015 ist Faruk Ereren vom Oberlandesgericht (OLG) Düsseldorf vom Vorwurf des Mordes freigesprochen worden. Faruk sollte – so der Vorwurf – von Deutschland aus 1993 telefonisch einen Anschlag in der Türkei in Auftrag gegeben haben, wofür es aber bis heute keinerlei Beweise gibt. Der einzige Belastungszeuge Genc, der über Dritte von diesem Telefonat gehört haben will, ist während des gesamten Verfahrens nicht vor einem deutschen Gericht erschienen. Nichtsdestotrotz hat sich die deutsche Justiz in diesem Verfahren zu einem willfährigen Handlanger der türkischen Behörden gemacht.

Klar ist nach einem Jahr Ausschuss nur: Irgendwer lügt. Edathys Aussagen vor dem Ausschuss sind in wichtigen Teilen von anderen Zeugen bestätigt worden. Michael Hartmann verweigert inzwischen die Aussage. Und Oppermann? Der sagt nur das Nötigste.
