Vielmehr werden ein paar Sachverhalte und subjektive Einschätzungen aufgezählt, die der aktive Teilnehmer der Öffentlichen Meinung in der Republik im eigenen Interesse nicht aus dem Blick verlieren sollte.

DEA Boss Joins FBI In Declaring ‚Ferguson Effect‘ To Be A Real Thing; Offers Up ‚Stuff I Heard‘ As Evidence
anecdotal evidence works best when actual evidence is lacking. The same can be said for the „War on Cops,“ which has been cobbled together using a regression to the mean following a historic low (2014) and a random smattering of social media posts about „putting wings on pigs,“ etc.

Remarks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
SECRETARY KERRY: We talked, first of all, about the events in Paris, which follow on events in Beirut and events in Iraq. And we are in absolute and total agreement that these kinds of attacks are the most vile, horrendous, outrageous, unacceptable acts on the planet; that under any category – we don’t know who did it, but they are acts of terror. So we are witnessing a kind of medieval and modern fascism at the same time, which has no regard for life, which seeks to destroy and create chaos and disorder and fear.
And the one thing we can say to those people is that what they do in this is stiffen our resolve – all of us – to fight back, to hold people accountable, and to stand up for rule of law, which is exactly what we are here to do. And if they’ve done anything, they have encouraged us today to do even harder work to make progress and to help resolve the crises that we face.

Studie „Don’t Bank on the Bomb“
Zehn deutsche Banken und Versicherungen investieren mehr als zehn Milliarden US-Dollar (fast neun Milliarden EUR) in Firmen, die die verheerendsten Massenvernichtungswaffen und deren Trägersysteme herstellen. Diese Unternehmen profitieren von Milliardenverträgen für die „nukleare Aufrüstung“, die die Atomwaffenstaaten vorantreiben. Mehr als 25 Millionen US-Dollar investieren deutsche Banken und Versicherungen beispielsweise in die Firma Boeing, die seit Jahrzehnten verantwortlich für die Entwicklung und Produktion von US-Langstreckenraketen ist. Boeing baut das Heckteil für die neue B61-12-Atombombe, deren Stationierung in Deutschland voraussichtlich ab 2020 geplant ist.
