Syriens Außenminister und U.S.-Administration Seit an Seit gegen Russlands richtiges Friedenskonzept
Die russische Regierung bzw der Kreml haben kürzlich, wie immer Jahre zu spät, den einzigen richtigen Vorschlag zur Beendigung des Syrien-Krieges und dem Sieg gegen die Invasoren aus der N.A.T.O und der U.S.-Hegemonie gemacht. Und natürlich protestierte das U-Boot der Invasoren in Damaskus, Außenminister Walid al-Muallem, am lautesten dagegen. Die U.S.-Regierung äußerte sich ähnlich wie al Muallem zum Friedenskonzept, eher wutschnaubend in sich hinein murmelnd. Die ganze Situation ist geprägt von der übliche extremen Heuchelei, von allen Seiten außer – und das sind gute Nachrichten – seitens der Russischen Föderation.

New FOIA Documents Confirm FBI Used Dirtboxes on Planes Without Any Policies or Legal Guidance
EFF recently received records in response to our Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Department of Justice for information on how the US Marshals—and perhaps other agencies—have been flying small, fixed-wing Cessna planes equipped with „dirtboxes”: IMSI catchers that imitate cell towers and are able to capture the locational data of tens of thousands of cell phones during a single flight. The records we received confirm the agencies were using these invasive surveillance tools with little oversight or legal guidance.
The Wall Street Journal revealed that the Marshals have been flying planes using DRT’s Stingray-like technology since 2007.

Apple VP: The FBI wants to roll back safeguards that keep us a step ahead of criminals
To get around Apple’s safeguards, the FBI wants us to create a backdoor in the form of special software that bypasses passcode protections, intentionally creating a vulnerability that would let the government force its way into an iPhone. Once created, this software — which law enforcement has conceded it wants to apply to many iPhones — would become a weakness that hackers and criminals could use to wreak havoc on the privacy and personal safety of us all.
President Obama Is Wrong On Encryption; Claims The Realist View Is ‚Absolutist‘
If you watch that, the President is basically doing the same thing as all the Presidential candidates, stating that there‘s some sort of equivalency on both sides of the debate and that we need to find some sort of „balanced“ solution short of strong encryption that will somehow let in law enforcement in some cases.
This is wrong. This is ignorant.

Sogar S.P.D.-Ministerpräsidentinnen wittern zweite Operation Asyl der Regierung nach 1992-93
(23.8.2015) Sowohl die Ministerpräsidentin von Rheinland-Pfalz, Malu Dreyer, als auch die Ministerpräsidentin von Nordrhein-Westfalen, Hannelore Kraft, haben den zuständigen Bundesinnenminister Thomas de Maiziere aufgefordert die verfassungsmäßig vorgeschriebenen Verfahren nach Anträgen auf Asyl von Flüchtlingen zu beschleunigen. Damit geraten die S.P.D.-Ministerpräsidentinnen, mutmaßlich ohne es zu begreifen, der von der Regierung von oben nach unten in die Gesellschaft hinein organisierten neuen Kampagne zur Schürung von Konflikten, Spaltungsbewegungen, bis hin zur Kreation von Spannungsfällen in die Quere, die einerseits den „Sicherheits“-Apparat, als auch die „Europäische Union“ begünstigen, die Republik destabilisieren und dadurch die herrschende Machtarchitektur stabilisieren sollen.

Deep State Deutschland: Wie unsere Plutokratie funktioniert
28.Februar) Der “tiefe Staat” zeigt sich heute in Deutschland als eine Struktur jenseits des demokratischen Systems, ohne demokratische Legitimation und ohne parlamentarische Kontrolle. Teile von Geheimdiensten und privaten Sicherheitsunternehmen sind eng vernetzt mit multinationalen Konzernen und Banken, so Jürgen Roth. Roth beschreibt einen plutokratischen Staat im korrupten Staate, dessen demokratisches Antlitz nur noch ein potemkinsches Dorf ist, das immer mühsamer von seinen privaten wie staatlichen Medien maskiert werden muss.
