Itâs about creating homeland insecurity, to sell homeland security junk â investigative journalist
An Associated Press report claimed that the FBI foiled plans by Moldovan gangs in Russia to sell nuclear material to Islamic State insurgents. However, inconsistencies within the report have thrown its validity into question. So what exactly happened and why did the US press eat it up? Investigative journalist Greg Palast joins Simone Del Rosario to dissect the controversy.

EFF to ICANN: Privacy Must be PurposefulâNot an Afterthought
The working group at Internet Corporation for Assignment of Names and Number (ICANN) that has been tasked with designing a new domain registration database canât seem to wrap its head around why privacy matters when it comes to domain registration services. ICANNâs Expert Working Group on gTLD Registration Directory Services (EWG) issued a Preliminary Issue Report on Next-Generation gTLD Registration Directory Services to Replace WHOIS in July, and EFF has submitted comments. Our bottom line is this:
Dutch Safety Board MH17 final report (FULL VIDEO)
The Dutch Safety Board publishes MH17 final report after fifteen months of investigation at Gilze-Rijen air force base in the Netherlands. The report covers the cause of the crash, the issue of flying over conflict areas, the question why Dutch surviving relatives of the victims had to wait two to four days before receiving confirmation from the Dutch authorities and the question to what extent the occupants of flight MH17 were conscious of the crash.(…)
Saudis Back Syrian Rebels Despite Risks
(7.Januar 2014) the Saudis are also bent on ousting Syriaâs president, Bashar al-Assad, and his patron, Iran, which they see as a mortal enemy. Their only real means of fighting them is through military and financial support to the Syrian rebels. And the most effective of those rebels are Islamists whose creed â rooted in the puritanical strain of Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia â is often scarcely separable from Al Qaedaâs.
Adding Islamist group to terror list could hurt Syrian rebel‘s efforts
The al-Nusra Front has emerged as one of the most effective groups in the Syrian resistance over the last few months, often drawing on the experience of foreign fighters who have had combat experience in Iraq and elsewhere.
Al-Qaeda in Syria calls for revenge attacks on Russia
The head of al-Qaedaâs offshoot in Syria has called on followers to carry out retaliatory attacks in Russia, raising the specter of blowback on Russian soil over Moscowâs military intervention to aid Syriaâs embattled government.
Just hours after the call from Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the leader of Jabhat al-Nusra, two mortar shells landed in the perimeter of the Russian Embassy in the Syrian capital, Damascus. No casualties were reported.

Der Widerstand des Herrn Onaga
Der Gouverneur von Okinawa, Takeshi Onaga, hat die Bewilligung fĂŒr Vorarbeiten zum Bau des US-StĂŒtzpunkts Henoko widerrufen. Japans Premier Shinzo Abe hatte die Genehmigung dessen VorgĂ€nger abgerungen. Von sofort an sind Bauarbeiten in der Bucht von Henoko illegal. Damit steckt die Verlegung der Marinebasis Futenma nach Henoko erneut fest. Das Vorhaben belastet das VerhĂ€ltnis zwischen Washington und Tokio schon seit zwanzig Jahren.

Fracking-Lobby drÀngelt: Demokratie hÀlt nur auf
Soll das Parlament das letzte Wort zum Thema Schiefergas-Fracking haben? Die Ăl- und Gaslobby stört sich daran â und hĂ€tte gerne, dass eine nicht demokratisch legitimierte Expertenkommission das letzte Wort hat. Warum das eine Entmachtung des Bundestages wĂ€re.
Just About Everything About Twitter Suspending Deadspin And SBNation Accounts Is Ridiculous
Yesterday on Twitter, there was a big discussion over the fact that Twitter had disabled two well-known sports media Twitter feeds, both for supposedly infringing on copyrights by posting GIFs of sports highlights. Almost everything about this story is ridiculous and highlights just how screwed up copyright law is today. Let‘s count the ways:
Mexiko: Rappen gegen den Tod des Zapotekischen
Einst war JuchitĂĄn der Nabel des Zapoteken-Volks, seine Kultur eine der wichtigsten des prĂ€hispanischen Mexiko. Heute spricht kaum einer Zapotekisch. Wie die Burschen von Juchirap ist auch Francisco Ramos in JuchitĂĄn aufgewachsen, doch Zapotekisch spricht er erst seit kurzem. Ramos wollte verstehen, wovon Juchirap in ihren Liedern singen. Also schnappte er sich ein Wörterbuch und begann Texte zu ĂŒbersetzen.

Indonesia: 50 Years After the Coup and the CIA Sponsored Terrorist Massacre. The Ruin of Indonesian Society
After the 1965 coup backed by the US, Australia and Europe, some 2-3 million Indonesians died, in fact were slaughtered mercilessly in an unbridled orgy of terror: teachers, intellectuals, artists, unionists, and Communists vanished. The US Embassy in Jakarta provided a detailed list of those who were supposed to be liquidated. The army, which was generously paid by the West and backed by the countless brainwashed religious cadres of all faiths, showed unprecedented zeal, killing and imprisoning almost everyone capable of thinking. Books were burned and film studios and theatres closed down.
Women from the left-wing organizations, after being savagely raped, had their breasts amputated. They were labeled as witches, atheists, sexual maniacs and perverts.
Mozilla holt sich VerstÀrkung aus dem Medienbetrieb
Die GeschĂ€ftsfĂŒhrerin von Spiegel Online, Katharina Borchert, wechselt zu Mozilla und soll dort die Innovationen vorantreiben. Diese Wahl passt zum Firefox-Hersteller, der sich fĂŒr bestimmte Werbung im Netz sowie gegen einige Adblock-Anbieter ausspricht – und damit der Presse entgegenkommen will.
Bild.de sperrt Nutzer von Werbeblockern aus
Betroffen sind neben Werbeblockern wie Adblock Plus und Ublock auch die Mozilla-Erweiterung Noscript… Damit zieht der Verlag eine drastische Konsequenz aus der juristischen Niederlage, die er im September 2015 vor dem Landgericht Köln gegen den Werbeblocker Adblock Plus erlitten hatte. Nach Verfahren in MĂŒnchen und Hamburg hatten auch die Kölner Richter festgestellt, dass der Adblocker und das damit verbundene GeschĂ€ftsmodell der Kölner Eyeo GmbH legal sei. Axel Springer hĂ€lt sowohl das UnterdrĂŒcken von Werbung als auch das Angebot des Whitelisting, bei dem sich groĂe Verlage von der Werbeblockade freikaufen können, fĂŒr rechtswidrig.

Ganz groĂes Kino â nur live: Warum es sich lohnt, den NSA-Untersuchungsausschuss vor Ort mitzuerleben
NSA-Untersuchungsausschuss. Das heiĂt zum Teil 13-Stunden-Sitzungen, RĂŒckenschmerzen, Zeugen mit GedĂ€chtnisschwund und Aussagen, bei denen es schonmal schwerfallen kann, ruhig zu bleiben. Das heiĂt auch, mal an einem Tag fast 90 âNormseitenâ Live-Blog produzieren und danach die letzte Bahn verpassen, weil man noch bis um halb zwei mit den groĂartigen Kollegen von Technische AufklĂ€rung podcastet. Und so kam es nach einem der Podcasts, dass mir in grenzerschöpftem Affekt der Satz entrutschte: âWarum tun wir uns das eigentlich an?â

AuĂenminister Sergej Lawrow hat die USA fĂŒr ihre WaffenabwĂŒrfe ĂŒber syrischem Territorium kritisiert und hinterfragt, wie die US-Administration sicherstellen will, dass diese Waffen nur an âgemĂ€Ăigte Rebellenâ gelangen. Dabei verwies er auf die legendĂ€ren Toyota-Trucks, die auf dem Bestellzettel der âFreien Syrischen Armeeâ standen und mittlerweile von IS-KĂ€mpfern gefahren werden.

Syrian civil war morphs into proxy war between U.S., Russia
The Syrian civil war is now a proxy war between Russia and the United States, with each side fueling the conflict with more firepower.
In the latest maneuver, the U.S. sent 50 tons of ammunition to rebels trying to topple President Bashar al-Assad and four decades of his family‘s rule.
That came after Russia went to the aid of Assad, saying it‘s targeting ISIS but launching airstrikes on rebel-controlled areas.
