Deutschland sollte Mexikos PrÀsidenten zur Rechenschaft ziehen
Enrique Peña Nieto, Mexikos PrĂ€sident, ist nicht derjenige, als der er sich prĂ€sentiert. Er ist kein demokratischer Politiker, der eine sich abkĂ€mpfende Nation reprĂ€sentiert, sondern ein autoritĂ€rer FĂŒhrer, der bei seinem Volk zunehmend auf Ablehnung stöĂt. Anstatt Peña Nieto an diesem Montag, 11. April, mit offenen Armen in Berlin zu empfangen, sollte er gemieden und ĂŒber seine zunehmend autoritĂ€re, korrupte und repressive Regierung zur Rede gestellt werden.
Kritik an Deutschlandbesuch des mexikanischen PrÀsidenten
Kanzlerin Angela Merkel und BundesprĂ€sident Joachim Gauck werden aufgefordert, in den GesprĂ€chen mit Peña Nieto nicht nur die Situation in Mexiko zu thematisieren, sondern „konkrete Schritte hin zu einer Verbesserung der Menschenrechtslage in Mexiko einzufordern“.
Auch Amnesty International (AI) rief zu Protestaktionen anlĂ€sslich des Staatsbesuches von Peña Nieto auf, um politischen Druck auf den PrĂ€sidenten und seine Regierung aufzubauen. DafĂŒr startete AI eine Twitter-Aktion, um sowohl den PrĂ€sidenten ĂŒber den internationalen Protest, als auch die mexikanische Bevölkerung ĂŒber die SolidaritĂ€t zu informieren.

Here are 79 California Surveillance Tech Policies. But Where Are the Other 90?
That‘s why last weekend more than 30 citizen watchdogs joined EFF‘s team to hold California law enforcement and public safety agencies accountable. Together, we combed through nearly 170 California government websites to identify privacy and usage policies for surveillance technology that must now be posted online under state law… EFF‘s team located approximately 79 policies through extensive browsing and site searching. In most cases, the policies were relatively easy to locate (for example, they were linked on the front page of the agency‘s website). However, several agencies (e.g. the cities of Fullerton, Imperial, Oxnard, Palo Alto, and Riverside) required participants to search through policy manuals hundreds of pages long to find the necessary disclosures. Our volunteers could not locate policies for at least 90 agencies, which we believe could be using the technology based on public records.
U.S. troops preparing Iraqi forces for ‚much, much harder‘ fight in Mosul

Mosul siege stalled as Iraqi army once again flees when bullets fly, say sources
(7.4.2016) âThe Iraqi Army commenced an assault on ISIS strongholds around Mosul, but when ISIS fired back, the Iraqi Army ran away and the assaults ended,â a western, Iraq-based security and defense specialist told FoxNews.com of last weekâs failed offensive. âSo now they are regrouping and rethinking their next options.â

JÄ°TEM
JÄ°TEM (Jandarma Ä°stihbarat ve Terörle MĂŒcadele, zu deutsch etwa Geheimdienst und Terrorabwehr der Gendarmerie) ist die Bezeichnung fĂŒr einen informellen Geheimdienst der tĂŒrkischen Gendarmerie, dessen Existenz vom tĂŒrkischen Staat stets geleugnet wurde. JÄ°TEM wird in der TĂŒrkei dem âtiefen Staatâ zugerechnet und fĂŒr eine Reihe von Morden an meist kurdischen Menschen im SĂŒdosten der TĂŒrkei verantwortlich gemacht. Ebenfalls gebrĂ€uchlich ist die AbkĂŒrzung JÄ°T Jandarma Ä°stihbarat TeĆkilatı, Geheimdienst-Organisation der Gendarmerie. Als GrĂŒnder der Organisation wird Brigadegeneral a. D. Veli KĂŒĂ§ĂŒk angegeben. Im Zuge der Ergenekon-Prozesse ist die Existenz der JÄ°TEM von der tĂŒrkischen Justiz bestĂ€tigt worden, auch wenn Struktur und AktivitĂ€tszeitrĂ€ume der Organisation noch nicht abschlieĂend aufgeklĂ€rt sind.

Thousands Will Sit-in at Congress Today to Demand Government Of, By, and For the People
Several hundred marchers with Democracy Spring arrived in Washington, D.C. on Sunday night, finishing up a 140-mile, 9-day trek from Philadelphia to the U.S. Capitol. Today and every day this week, theyâll be joined by thousands who have pledged to risk arrest in mass civil disobedience at the U.S. Capitol.
Their demand, deeply resonant in this fractious election year, is that Congress take immediate action on four key solutions to reduce the influence of money in politics, expand and protect voting rights, and ensure we all have an equal voice in our democracy.
Kundgebungen bei Nacht: Das Protestlager der Bewegung âNuit deboutâ in Paris
Auf der Pariser ‚Place de la RĂ©publique‘ versammelt sich seit zwei Wochen die Bewegung âNuit deboutâ. Der Name bedeutet etwa âDie Nacht hindurch auf den Beinenâ. Die Protestler wĂ€hlen eine neue Form ohne Parteien und Gewerkschaften. Obwohl das Lager spontan entstanden ist, verfĂŒgt es bereits ĂŒber einen eigenen Fernsehkanal. Die Demonstrationen gegen die geplante Arbeitsmarktreform haben sich zu einer Massenbewegung ausgewachsen.

Assoziierungsvertrag mit der Ukraine: âDas hollĂ€ndische Nein ist kein Sieg Moskausâ
Was ist denn unser europÀisches Sicherheitskonzept?
Wichtig wĂ€re, kritikwĂŒrdiges endlich deutlich auszusprechen. Die Ukraine liegt schlieĂlich nicht auf dem amerikanischen Kontinent. Wir mĂŒssen nachdenken, was auf uns zukommen könnte, wenn wir weiter tatenlos zuschauen, wie die Ukraine eine ihrer wirtschaftlichen Lebensadern, die Beziehungen mit Russland, dauerhaft zerschneidet. Und schlieĂlich: haben wir eine klare Vorstellung von den kĂŒnftigen Beziehungen EU-Russland? Unversöhnliche Feindschaft oder nicht? Vor dem Referendum wurde in den Niederlanden versichert, die Ukrainer kĂ€men nicht in die NATO. Was ist denn unser europĂ€isches Sicherheitskonzept?
ITF: Panama a Tax Haven as FOC Flag Country
(8.April) Revelations of tax avoidance and related activities, mentioned in the leaked Panama Papers this week, could lead to a change in the current climate of tacit approval for this kind of âsocially damaging behaviourâ, the International Transport Workersâ Federation (ITF) said.
An example of such tax evasions is flag of convenience (FOC) shipping, which states that a vessel owned in one country can be flagged in another, and according to ITF General Secretary, Stephen Cotton, âas an FOC flag â the largest in the world â Panama is essentially a tax haven like many of the UK territories that have been mentioned in these papers.â
Anachronistischer Feudalstaat
Es ist daher verdienstvoll, dass der Laika Verlag ein Buch ĂŒber den Stand der (spĂ€ten) Aufarbeitung des »Kambodscha-Dramas« veröffentlicht hat.
Der Autor Alexander Goeb schildert im Schnelldurchlauf die Geschichte Kambodschas bis zum 17. April 1975, als die GuerillaverbĂ€nde der »Roten Khmer« siegreich in Phnom Penh einrĂŒckten und das von den USA ausgehaltene MilitĂ€rregime des Putschgenerals Lon Nol zerschlugen. Den Schwerpunkt des Buches macht dann die Schilderung nachfolgender Greueltaten aus, denen der GroĂteil der stĂ€dtischen Bevölkerung und der nationalen Minderheiten Kambodschas zum Opfer fiel. Es kommen zahlreiche Zeugen zu Wort, die den damaligen Völkermord belegen.

A CEO agenda for the (r)evolution of the automotive ecosystem
(2.MĂ€rz) In a milestone decision that paves the way toward fully autonomous driving, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently recognized the computer as a new type of vehicle operator. After more than a century of people behind the wheel, machines could be about to replace them on U.S. roads.
Industry players all agree they face a fundamental shift in consumer attitudes toward the automobile. At the moment, though, there are more questions than answers â who will earn money selling what exact products or services?

New LA Law: Homeless People Can Only Own A Trashcanâs Worth Of Belongings
(9.April) As though homeless people donât already own so few possessions, the city of Los Angeles just passed a law saying that the amount of things a homeless person can own must fit inside of a trashcan. They even have size dimensions for the trashcan, noting that the items must fit in a 60-gallon trashcan and the lid must close over it.
Peru â The Story of a (military) Coup dâĂtat Foretold?
For the last weeks and months Peru was and is in a frenzy about who may win todayâs â 10 April 2016 â Presidential elections. Of lesser importance seem to be the 130 Parliamentarians, belonging to a myriad of parties and new and old alliances and cross-alliances, a political amalgam for hardly anybody understandable. It is unclear whether the chaos is by design or simply part of the Peruvian electorate system which reoccurs every five years; with the same type of candidates (in one case even the same candidate since 1985!), with the same empty promises and lies, with the same accusations towards one another â and all of them with an honest-to-god face proclaiming they would eliminate corruption â spoken by the same people about whom the electorate knows are all corrupt. The common question goes: Who is the least corrupt to vote for?

Desperate to keep staff, Alibabaâs Ma offers cash to SCMP journalists
(8.April) But SCMP hasnât exactly been part of the western media. For 113 years, the paper has served as the voice of the people of Hong Kong. And in since British rule ended, itâs tended to carry far less of the politically correct information published by papers in Mainland China.(…)
In light of that dozens of journalists and editorial employees have left since the deal was announced last December, and there are currently about 30 positions open at the paper, according to Quartz.
