Kritik an Mexikos Regierung nach Festnahme von Drogenboss „El Chapo“

Andrés Manuel López Obrador, zweimaliger Präsidentschaftskandidat, kritisierte diese Haltung bei einem Auftritt in Puebla. Die Einsatzkräfte der Marine hätten lediglich ihre Arbeit getan. Das Militär zeige sich hingegen seit über einem Jahr unfähig, die verschwundenen 43 Lehramtsstudenten zu finden, so Obrador. Die Studenten der Lehrerfachschule „Raúl Isidro Burgos“ in Ayotzinapa waren am 26. September 2014 von Polizeikräften der Kreisstadt Iguala festgenommen worden.

Madaya: West Engineer Another ‘Humanitarian’ Media Hoax in Syria

On its website, SN4HR, posts a twisted version of events, claiming that the Syrian government is responsible for ‘mass-starvation’. This is another example of made-to-order propaganda, designed to bolster US State Department and British Foreign Office calls for ‘regime change’ in Damascus:

Europäische Werte (II)

Massive Kritik am öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk in Deutschland begleitet die Angriffe Berlins auf die polnische Regierung in puncto Mediengesetz. Während deutsche Politiker wegen der Unterstellung öffentlich-rechtlicher Medien unter die Kontrolle der Regierung Sanktionen gegen Polen fordern, hat ein ehemaliger CDU-Minister, der dem rechtskonservativen Milieu zugerechnet wird, den Vorsitz in einem einflussreichen ARD-Gremium übernommen.

Madaya hunger reports aim to demonize government: Syria

Jaafari said journalists from the Qatari-owned al-Jazeera broadcaster and the Saudi-owned al-Arabiya TV network are “mainly responsible for fabricating these allegations and lies.”
He said false information about starvation deaths in the Syrian town are aimed at “demonizing” Damascus and “torpedoing” peace negotiations due in the Swiss city of Geneva on January 25.

Die Datenbasis liefern hydraulische und Wasserqualitätssensoren im Leitungsnetz, die erfassten Daten werden an ein Leitsystem gesendet.

Hillary Clinton comes out against deportation raids in break with Obama

Clinton‘s rivals, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O‘Malley, had come out strongly against the raids when their planning was first reported last month. At the time, Sanders said he was „very distubed“ by the reports, while O‘Malley called the raids „mindless deportations“ that were „at odds“ with America‘s character.

David Bowie Wasn‘t Just An Incredible Music Visionary, But An Internet & Business Model Visionary Too

All the way back in 1996, he was the first major musician to release music only on the internet, launching the single for „Telling Lies“ as a direct download off of his website, and announcing it in an online chat session. Yes, nearly 20 years ago, Bowie embraced internet distribution for his music.

NSU-Prozess: Erpresst Beate Zschäpe den „Verfassungsschutz“?

Wolf Wetzel: Dass der Geheimdienst mit über 40 V-Leuten im Nahbereich des NSU und seines Netzwerkes agierte, ist inzwischen Gemeingut geworden. Dass diese V-Leute diesen Untergrund maßgeblich mit ausgerüstet haben, ist ebenfalls in Hülle und Fülle belegt. Wie weit dieser Einfluss, das Gewährenlassen, aber reicht, wäre Ermittlungsaufgabe der Strafverfolgungsbehörden, die allerdings nur mit den Achseln zucken und diesen Bereich des NSU-Netzwerkes damit unter Straffreiheit stellen.

PvC – Synaptic Research by Headphone Commute

It’s less than a competition, but rather a carefully crafted enchantment performed with some magic, bewitchment, and a slight of hand. And in case of this maestro of sound and words for his Ambient Blog, it’s even a puzzle, where individual tracks are layered in tiers of two, three, four, even five streams at a time. This is a true craftsmanship of mixing, and I always try to achieve the same.

David Bowie has died. It leaves me and, I suspect, millions around the world, with an instant feeling of loss and emptiness – and yet also a wistful joy, a sense of how creative and inspirational just one of us can be.

With much respect to a genius, a silent moment of reflection: ashes to ashes, dust to stardust. Your brilliance inspired us all. Goodbye Starman.

Bringing the Muisca Language Back from Extinction, One Word at a Time

The Muisca language is officially extinct. The language, part of the Chibcha linguistic family, was previously spoken by the Muisca people, who lived around Colombia‘s central highlands including the area surrounding present-day Bogotá. Much of the language‘s history is found in texts and documents from the 16th and 17th centuries, rescued from archives where they sat dormant. The language‘s path towards extinction was cemented by the ruling of King Charles III of Spain, who banned its use as a way to further control the indigenous population. The law remained until Colombia‘s 1991 Constitution was passed.

The Trouble with the TPP, Day 6: The Price of Entry

An examination of the Trouble with the TPP copyright provisions would not be complete without discussing how Canada reformed its law before entering the negotiations as part of the price of admission to the TPP talks (prior posts include Day 1: US Blocks Balancing Provisions, Day 2: Locking in Digital Locks, Day 3: Copyright Term Extension, Day 4: Copyright Notice and Takedown Rules, Day 5: Rights Holders “Shall” vs. Users “May”). The pre-TPP reforms must surely be considered part of the cost of the agreement even if proponents now argue that the TPP is consistent with (the reformed) Canadian law.
