(5/2013) Die Verzweiflung über die weggeschwommenen Sieges-Felle muss unerträglich gross sein. Der Senator ist dafür bekannt, dass er – umringt von falschen Freunden – sich zwanghaft stets auf die Verliererseite der Geschichte stellt.

Meyssan’s claim that McCain is intimately involved with CIA-organized overthrows makes lot more sense than the fiction that nobody knows who Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is or how this violent Iraqi al-Qaeda leader ended up meeting of ‘Syrian rebels’ with the senator inside of Syria. The inescapable conclusion is that all of the men at the meeting, including al-Baghdadi are CIA assets, and that IS is a CIA creation.

Die Linke lässt weiterhin eine Klage von Völkerrechtlern prüfen. Die Entscheidung wird im Januar fallen.

Today, 16 percent of federal prisoners and roughly 6 percent of state prisoners are housed in private correctional facilities, including the ones run by CCA and Geo Group. Because they profit from filling beds, private prisons try to incarcerate as many people as possible, even for minor, low-level offenses. The two companies rake in a combined $3.3 billion every year, and spend millions lobbying the government.

An army unit destroyed two terrorist organizations’ vehicles , one equipped with heavy machine-gun in the village of Tal Msaibeen in the northern countryside of Aleppo province in parallel with targeting terrorists’ supply routes
in the towns of Haritan and Anadan.

“Yes, the city of Ramadi has been liberated. The Iraqi counter terrorism forces have raised the Iraqi flag over the government complex in Anbar”, joint operations spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Rasool said in a statement broadcast on state television.

Again, this is hardly surprising, but with all of these politicians demanding backdoors, or other surveillance techniques, have any of them stopped to consider the message being sent to other governments around the globe?

Last week we noted that India had shut down Facebook‘s Free Basics program, arguing the company‘s plan for zero rating Facebook-approved content and services is effectively glorified collusion; an attempt to eventually corner global ad markets under the banner of altruism. The country has been trying to craft net neutrality rules, and has slowly realized that whatever neutrality looks like, Facebook deciding what content Indians get access to isn‘t it.

(17.12.2015) „If you are going to kill the families of terrorists,“ Paul said, „Realize that there‘s something called the Geneva Convention we‘re going to have to pull out of. It would defy every norm that is America.“

We wondered whether Paul was right about the Geneva Convention, so we asked a range of experts in international law.

They said Paul was correct and pointed to two key pieces of international agreements.

Als die UN-Flüchtlingskonvention 1951 angenommen wurde, war Dänemark das erste Land, das sie unterzeichnet hat. Nun sei der Ministerpräsident der Auffassung, die von der Konvention auferlegten Verpflichtungen seien eine untragbare Bürde für Dänemark, schreibt die schwedische Zeitung Svenska Dagbladet.

Denmark was the first country to sign the 1951 U.N. convention – the legal foundation for the protection of refugees worldwide – but, like other European Union member states faced with an unprecedented inflow of asylum seekers this year, has set about tightening border checks and some immigration rules.

Former U.S. airman Bruce Gagnon described how during the Vietnam War, seeing the anti-war demonstrations around the U.S. bases, he was gradually drawn to the peace movement. Gagnon said that when people protest against war outside the base fences, their message will undoubtedly get through [to the soldiers inside the base].

Other speakers at the symposium included former U.S. airman Dud Hendrick; Suzuyo Takazato, who has participated in delegations to the U.S. to petition against the bases; and former schoolteacher Eiko Ginoza. When the VFP members chanted, “No More Base,” attendees to the symposium joined them.

In einem Interview mit der „Deutschen Presseagentur“ folgt Sahra Wagenknecht weiter der Logik des Terrorkrieges und spielt, wie sie und ihre Partei in den gesamten 14 Kriegsjahren, strategisch der Kriegslobby, dem geheimdienstlichen Komplex und dessen aktuell um Operation Asyl aufgebauten Attentats-Szenario in Deutschland in die Hände.

„Natürlich ist es kein geringeres Verbrechen, unschuldige Zivilisten in Syrien mit Bomben zu ermorden, als in Pariser Restaurants und Konzerthäusern um sich zu schießen“, sagte sie in einem Interview mit der Deutschen Presse-Agentur. „Das eine ist individueller, das andere staatlich verantworteter Terror.“
