Fluchtursache Krieg beenden
Kriege und Terror treiben die Menschen zu Hunderttausenden nach Europa. Die politische InstabilitĂ€t im Irak, Afghanistan, Libyen und Syrien ist in erster Linie auf die MilitĂ€rinterventionen der USA und ihrer VerbĂŒndeten zurĂŒckzufĂŒhren, die einen Regimewechsel in diesen LĂ€ndern herbeifĂŒhren wollen.
Machtkampf in Nahost
Berlin gibt sich scheinneutral, positioniert sich letztlich aber klar im Rahmen des westlichen Pakts. AuĂenminister Frank-Walter Steinmeier hat Russland, Frankreich und GroĂbritannien vor neuen militĂ€rischen Operationen in Syrien gewarnt. „Es kann nicht sein, dass jetzt wichtige Partner, die wir brauchen, auf die militĂ€rische Karte setzen“, erklĂ€rte Steinmeier am Mittwoch, um seine Kritik sogleich auf Moskau zu fokussieren. Sie richte sich nicht gegen „EU-Partner“ oder das BĂŒndnis, das gegen den IS kĂ€mpfe, erklĂ€rte Steinmeier: „Vor allem“ bestĂŒrzt sei er ĂŒber Berichte, dass Russland die Lieferung von MilitĂ€rgerĂ€t ausweite – „zu welchem Zweck auch immer“.

Kurds gain ground against Islamic State in northern Iraq

The Non-Existence of Norway – Slavoj ĆœiĆŸek on the refugee crisis
The new slavery is not confined to the suburbs of Shanghai, or Dubai, or Qatar. It is in our midst; we just donât see it, or pretend not to see it. Sweated labour is a structural necessity of todayâs global capitalism. Many of the refugees entering Europe will become part of its growing precarious workforce, in many cases at the expense of local workers, who react to the threat by joining the latest wave of anti-immigrant populism.(…)
There is something enigmatically utopian in this demand: as if it were the duty of Europe to realise their dreams â dreams which, incidentally, are out of reach of most Europeans (surely a good number of Southern and Eastern Europeans would prefer to live in Norway too?). It is precisely when people find themselves in poverty, distress and danger â when weâd expect them to settle for a minimum of safety and wellbeing â that their utopianism becomes most intransigent. But the hard truth to be faced by the refugees is that âthere is no Norway,â even in Norway.(…)
The only way to break this deadlock is to move beyond mere tolerance: we should offer others not just our respect, but the prospect of joining them in a common struggle, since our problems today are problems we share.(…)
Humankind should get ready to live in a more âplasticâ and nomadic way. One thing is clear: national sovereignty will have to be radically redefined and new methods of global co-operation and decision-making devised.
Citi shared central bank info with clients – ex trader

Visas for Al-Qaeda, Part 3: Backstabbing
âThis tale is a sordid sketch of backstabbing, disloyalty, double crosses, faithlessness, falsity, perfidy, sellouts, treachery, and betrayal. All of this is in addition to the stupidity and incompetence normally manifested by the State Department and the intelligence services.â

The Great Reformer
Today, Swedish social democracy has largely lost its position as an international beacon for the socialist left. Many point to the late 1980s as the time when things started to change, when the gains of the last half-century began to be reversed. So did the Swedish model die with Olof Palme?
UK: Vom Individualismus zur Individualitis, und wieder zurĂŒck? â Teil 3: New old Labour und der Unradikale in radikalen Zeiten
Der hierdurch verstĂ€rkte Fokus auf die individuelle IdentitĂ€t gegenĂŒber der kollektiven wurde dann von den Konservativen rund um Margret Thatcher und Ronald Reagan in ihrem politischen Ansatz aufgegriffen, um neue WĂ€hlergruppen durch einen negativen Freiheitsbegriff anzusprechen und die Wahlen fĂŒr sich zu entscheiden. In der Folgezeit wurden sowohl in UK, als auch in den USA wirtschaftspolitische MaĂnahmen eingeleitet, die heute als neoliberaler Putsch gelesen werden können, indem sie nicht nur zentrale gesellschaftliche Organisationen (v.a. Gewerkschaften) nachhaltig entmachteten, sondern auch die Mehrheit derjenigen, die direkt oder indirekt von Löhnen und GehĂ€ltern abhĂ€ngig waren, indem sie diese durch Massenarbeitslosigkeit, Deindustrialisierung, Sozialabbau, Deregulierung etc. schlechter stellten. Es setzte sich also die Kapitalseite gegenĂŒber den Arbeitnehmerinteressen durch, indem ökonomische Tatsachen geschaffen wurden, die jedoch nach auĂen als Prozess der âModernisierungâ und âBefreiungâ des Individuums von der âBevormundungâ durch den Staat1 dargestellt wurden.
South Korean man gets 12 years for slashing US ambassador
During earlier police questioning, Kim also said South Korea is a semi-colony of the U.S. and that North Korea has an independent, self-reliant government, according to Seoul police. Shortly after his arrest, Kim shouted that the U.S.-South Korea war games were an obstacle against a Korean unification.
The Korean Peninsula remains in a technical state of war since the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. About 28,500 American soldiers are deployed in South Korea(…)

9/11 terror attacks were not plotted in Afghanistan by al-Qaeda, claims Karzai
Hamid Karzai, the former Afghan president, has called al-Qaeda a âmythâ and described any link between Afghanistan and the 9/11 terror attacks a western conspiracy.(…)
Asked whether he believed the attacks had been planned from the country he would go on to rule, he said: „That is what I have heard from our Western friends. That‘s what the Western media says. There is no doubt that an operation, a terrorist operation was conducted in New York and in Washington.“

Linke benennen Fluchtursachen
(7.September) Die designierten Vorsitzenden der Linksfraktion im Bundestag, Sahra Wagenknecht und Dietmar Bartsch, nennen in einem Zehn-Punkte-Plan Ross und Reiter. »Westliche Staaten unter der FĂŒhrung der USA haben ganze Regionen destabilisiert, indem sie unter anderem Terrororganisationen möglich gemacht und instrumentalisiert haben«, heiĂt es in einem Positionspapier der beiden, das am Wochenende auszugweise bekannt wurde. »Mörderbanden, wie der Islamische Staat (IS), wurden indirekt unterstĂŒtzt und auch von mit Deutschland verbĂŒndeten LĂ€ndern ungehindert mit Geld und Waffen beliefert. Millionen Menschen wurden so brutalen Kriegen und BĂŒrgerkriegen ausgesetzt.«

US Counterterrorism Official Says US Is ‚The Angel Of Death‘ And Should Be Target Killing ISIS Tweeters
A few weeks ago there was a fair bit of controversy after a US drone-strike killed an ISIS „hacker“ who was, among other things, popular on Twitter. While US officials tried to paint him as a much bigger deal behind the scenes, some are now admitting that he was just noisy online. ABC News is reporting on the supposed internal debate among US counterterrorism officials concerning how to best deal with ISIS Twitter users. Some are arguing that these guys are small time annoyances, while others are arguing that we should just straight up kill ISIS tweeters. This next quote is fairly incredible.
âWe are the angel of death. This war is a propaganda war too. Why only limit it to military leaders?“
