Open Letter on Donald Trump from GOP National Security Leaders
We the undersigned, members of the Republican national security community, represent a broad spectrum of opinion on America’s role in the world and what is necessary to keep us safe and prosperous. We have disagreed with one another on many issues, including the Iraq war and intervention in Syria. But we are united in our opposition to a Donald Trump presidency. Recognizing as we do, the conditions in American politics that have contributed to his popularity, we nonetheless are obligated to state our core objections clearly:
Ex-U.S. Defense Chief: Troops Following Trump‘s Orders Could Face Nuremberg-like Trials
Speaking on CNN Thursday, William Cohen, who was President Bill Clinton’s last defense chief, said, “The notion that we would attack and kill the families of terrorists is something that contravenes everything the United States stands for in this world of now disorder … there’s something called Nuremberg that we have to be concerned about, that you have an order given by the commander in chief which violates every sense of law and order, international law and order, that would make any of those who carried out that dictum as such to be a violation of the international criminal code.”
Merkel plays false & urges Greece to provide shelter for 50,000 refugees
Greece needs to deliver quickly on its promise to provide accommodation for 50,000 refugees and the European Union should help Athens with this task, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in a media interview published on Saturday.

Anti-Russia Sanctions to Cause Major Rift in EU
The US has repeatedly told European allies it would move ahead on new sanctions only in co-ordination with the EU. Daniel Fried, the state department’s chief sanctions co-ordinator, has recently stated, the US-imposed sanctions could be lifted this year.(…)

Warum dieser Mann in den Landtag von Baden-Württemberg muss
Hannes Rockenbauch wird nicht nur die Landtagswahl in Baden-Württemberg entscheiden, sondern auch die Zusammensetzung der nächsten Landesregierung. Dieses wiederum wird sich auf die Mehrheitsverhältnisse im Bundesrat und, so oder so, auf die Bundesregierung auswirken. Und wie die sich auswirkt, darüber flucht nicht nur der halbe Kontinent, sondern morgen die ganze Welt, wenn Sie, liebe Baden-WürttembergerInnen jetzt nicht die Banane aus dem Auge nehmen und mit der größten Macht auf dem Planeten Erde brechen: der Gewohnheit.

Passport Privilege And Black Guilt: Tales Of An African-American Expat
For the first time in my life I no longer feared the police. The Nigerian domestic security forces are brutal in ways that make the relations between their American counterparts and people of color in the United States seem downright cordial. But they are quite nice to my family and me. They even guard my son’s school. A school where he is talked to, not at and told that he can be anything he wants to be in life. When he does well in class, he’s not treated like the chimp that can talk.
Saudi Arabia‘s Navy Arms Up — With American Weapons
For a country concerned primarily with land-bound ISIS terrorists — who lack either a navy or an air force — that‘s a curious mission profile. But for a country concerned with Iran‘s increasing bellicosity in the Persian Gulf, these upgrades are a logical purchase.

India‘s Water War: City Workers Fight Corporate Privatization Efforts
Rivers and other bodies of water in India are sources of the country‘s spiritualism. Activists working for water rights say capturing India‘s waters is akin to capturing the nation‘s soul.

A group of journalists and activists is suing the New York Police Department for civil rights violations over its use of military-grade sound cannons known as Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) during protests against police brutality in 2014.
The lawsuit, filed late Thursday against the city and NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton, charges that police used the LRADs to force the dispersal of peaceful demonstrators who had gathered in midtown Manhattan on December 4, 2014 to protest the non-indictment of NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo in the chokehold death of Eric Garner.

Can Canada do business with Saudi Arabia and still support human rights?
But it’s also been a year since the federal government announced it had helped broker a deal to sell Saudi Arabia $15 billion in armoured vehicles – the biggest arms deal Canada has ever made.
At the time, the Harper government boasted of the 3,000 jobs it would support in southern Ontario over the next 14 years.
The Trudeau government, for its part, has pointed to contractual obligations. It will broker deals differently next time, but cancelling this one could hurt its reputation, it says.
Meanwhile, both Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau have been all but silent in their criticism of the kingdom.

Hillary Clinton and Saudi Arabia
As Hillary Clinton emerges as the front-runner for the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, she is receiving increased scrutiny for her years as Secretary of State. Many are criticizing her hawkish foreign policy, which is the best indication of what President Hillary’s foreign policy would be, with many focusing on her long relationship with Saudi Arabia.
The Clintons and Wall Street: 24 Years of Enriching Each Other
For twenty four years the Clintons have orchestrated a conjugal relationship with Wall Street, to the immense financial benefit of both parties. They have accepted from the New York banks $68.72 million in campaign contributions for their six political races, and $8.85 million more in speaking fees. The banks have earned hundreds of billions of dollars in practices that were once prohibited—until the Clinton Administration legalized them.
The extraordinary ambition displayed in the careers of Bill and Hillary Clinton defies description. They have spent much of their adult lives soliciting money from others for their own benefit. A 2014 story in Time magazine said this:
Hillary Lost My Vote in Honduras
But the Obama administration, led by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, refused to formally recognize that a military coup had taken place and never cut U.S. military aid to Honduras. Clinton’s State Department even lobbied the Organization of American States, which strongly condemned the coup, to readmit Honduras after its suspension from the OAS. In November 2009, the Administration recognized the election of Porfirio Lobo, even though most opposition parties and major international observers boycotted the election. Since the coup, the U.S. has built two new military bases in Honduras and increased its support and funding for the Honduran military and police.
The FBI Has a New Plan to Spy on High School Students Across the Country
The FBI’s justification for such surveillance is based on McCarthy-era theories of radicalization, in which authorities monitor thoughts and behaviors that they claim to lead to acts of violent subversion, even if those people being watched have not committed any wrongdoing. This model has been widely discredited as a violence prevention method, including by the U.S. government, but it is now being imported to schools nationwide as official federal policy.
