The Mother of the Saudi Arabian Protester Awaiting Crucifixion Has a Message for the World
As of this writing, neither President Obama nor any prominent US official has opposed the Saudi government’s death sentence. When the State Department’s spokesman was asked about Ali’s case, he claimed he hadn’t heard of it—despite the broad international coverage the case has received. US Uncut contacted the State Department for clarification of the US position on the issue, but received no response.
The US and Saudi Arabia have a very close relationship: just weeks ago Saudi Arabia’s King Salman enjoyed a meeting with Obama at the White House.
Stop talking about a Third Intifada – Israel’s occupation must end
To consider what is happening just as a „new wave of violence“ mainly overlooks the point that Palestinians have been under a belligerent occupation for decades, that Israel continues with its Apartheid policies and to build illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land, and that Israel has been aiming to change Palestine‘s identity; particularly occupied East Jerusalem. Israeli attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, incited by members of Netanyahu‘s government, are just one example of the daily Israeli incitement not only against Palestinian rights as a whole, but against the very existence of an independent State of Palestine as a sovereign nation.
Putin im Interview: Keine Entsendung von Bodentruppen und Militärhilfe für Syrien soll Weg für politische Kompromisse bahnen
Offen räumte Putin den Umstand ein, dass der in den letzten Monaten durch türkische, saudische und katarische Stellvertreter in Nordsyrien geschwächte Präsident nur dann politische Kompromisse erwarten könne, wenn die syrische Armee ihre Kampfbereitschaft beweist.
Mit Blick auf den Marschflugkörper-Angriff vom Kaspischen Meer auf Stellungen des selbsternannten „Islamischen Staates“ sagte Putin, dass der Einsatz eine absolute Überraschung für die US-Geheimdienste gewesen wäre. Er betonte, dass es jedoch nicht die Zeit dafür sei, mit Steinen auf die US-Geheimdienstlandschaft zu werfen:

Putin and the Press: The Demonology School of Journalism
The corollary is that ‘Western powers’, despite their peace-loving propensities and fraternal attempts to bring Russia into the democratic ‘fold’, have been ‘forced’ to now surround Russia with NATO military bases and missiles; to finance a violent coup in the Ukraine (on Russia’s frontier) and arm the Ukrainian putsch government and neo-fascist militias to ‘restore democracy’ and violently suppress ethnic Russian ‘separatists’ in Eastern Ukraine. We are told that US and EU sanctions against Russia were carefully crafted ‘diplomatic’ measures designed to punish the Moscow ‘aggressor’.
In reality, the Western media has relentlessly demonized Vladimir Putin in a campaign to further NATO military expansion and undermine the Russian economy and its national security.

Call to the International Community
Regarding this chain of massacres, we have a number of expectations and clear demands from the international community and from political leaders. In making this call, we wish to underscore that the Ankara massacre and the aforementioned previous attacks are international in scope, and to make clear that we see the potential for such events to open the way to regional insecurity.AKP’s policy of relying on radical groups as proxies, which began with President Erdogan’s support of, and even channeling through the intelligence organization MIT, the activities of such groups as ISIS, Al-Nusra, andAhrar Al-Sham—used particularly against Kurds in Rojava—is at the heart of today’s tragedy.

Es ist evident, dass wir weder ausländisches Territorium benötigen noch natürliche Ressourcen. Wir sind ein autarker Staat.“
TTIP: Lügen haben dicke Backen – Gut 250.000 Menschen haben Gabriel geantwortet
Die dickste und unverschämteste Lüge aber lässt der Mann in seiner Anzeige ab, wenn er behauptet, ein Zwang zur Privatisierung sei nicht vorgesehen. Munter verhandeln seit 2012 von ihm beauftragte Leute mit den USA über das „Trade in Services Agreement“ (TiSA). Natürlich wieder mal geheim. Über ein US-Handelsdiktat, das „Handelshemmnisse im Sektor Dienstleistungen beseitigen“ soll. Handelshemmnisse wie „Öffentliche Dienstleistungen zur Gesundheits-, Wasser- und Energieversorgung, bei der Bildung, im Finanzsektor“. Und natürlich soll TiSA die „Rückübernahme von privatisierten Energie- und Wasserunternehmen (Rekommunalisierung)“ unbedingt ausschließen.
Gabriel, der kleine Kläffer an der kurzen Leine der USA, will ja nicht mal deutschen Abgeordneten den Zugang zu TTIP-Akten verschaffen, die in der US-Botschaft liegen.

Verschwörungspraxis
»Wer etwas anderes als die offizielle Version für das Wahrscheinliche, für das immer Wahrscheinlichere hält, ist nicht mit den Fakten vertraut, sondern irregeleitet«, gibt er die staatstragende Haltung wieder. »›Verschwörungstheorie‹ wird dann geraunt, von jenen am lautesten, die die Praxis dazu sehr gut beherrschen.«
Sicher, manchmal trifft die Killerphrase zufällig die Richtigen – gibt es doch zu dieser Thematik jede Menge Wortmeldungen von Bloggern oder Publizisten, die im harmlosesten Fall wirr und abgeschmackt, wenn nicht interessengeleitet wirken.
15.10.2015 – Buchvorstellung: „Der Rechtsstaat im Untergrund“ in Berlin
Wolf Wetzel befasst sich mit drei zusammenhängenden Strängen untergründiger Staatsaktivitäten. Der erste handelt von den Auswirkungen des permanenten Kriegszustands, begründet mit dem 11. September 2001. Der zweite Strang ist die totale Erfassung und Überwachung der eigenen Bevölkerung, Der dritte Strang staatlichen Untergrunds verfolgt die Spur des NSU. Dreizehn Jahre lang konnten nach offizieller Version Neonazis unerkannt morden. Nun verbrennen Akten und sterben Zeugen. Was ist von dem konstatierten Behördenversagen zu halten, wenn keiner, der daran maßgeblich beteiligt war, zur Rechenschaft gezogen wird?

Experts: Likely Russia-PYD cooperation will not repel ISIS
Claiming that Russia would want to use the opportunity to cooperate with the PYD, Professor Ferhat Pirinççi from Uludağ University’s Department of International Relations said even in the event of such cooperation, “advancements of ISIS might be stopped, but cannot be rebuffed.”
“The YPG’s war power is weak. Moreover, the population structure in YPG-led areas and ISIS-led areas are not the same. Namely, it is hard to say that there will be an impact on the field.”
INTERVIEW: Kurdish autonomy should be a model to end Syrian conflict
Russian airstrikes are a step forward in the war against terrorism, says Sihanouk Dibo, political advisor to the Democratic Union Party (PYD), a leading Syrian Kurdish opposition party and member of the Syrian opposition group in Cairo.
Dibo believes that negotiations with the Bashar Al-Assad regime are inevitable if a solution to the Syrian conflict is to be reached.
„We welcome any intervention that would help fighting terrorism,“ says Dibo, who refutes the claim that Russia has mostly attacked rebels fighting the Syrian government, not the Islamic State (IS) group.
Rand Paul wins ‘liberty voter’ straw poll, Ted Cruz claims otherwise
„Liberty unites people, and I am honored to win the Republican Liberty Caucus straw poll,“ Paul said in a statement. „I will continue to represent the Liberty wing of the Republican Party.“
Ted Cruz sets sights on Rand Paul’s libertarian base

For Cruz, it’s the latest effort to encroach on Paul’s turf, a move that follows the roll-out of a libertarian-stacked team that includes people who backed Ron Paul in 2012.
