The Power of „Nyet“
… the Americans have been continuously demanding that Russia go along with their plan to overthrow Bashar Assad. The unchanging Russian response has been: “Nyet, the Syrians get to decide on their leadership, not Russia, and not the US.” Each time they hear it, the Americans scratch their heads and… try again. John Kerry was just recently in Moscow, holding a marathon “negotiating session” with Putin and Lavrov. Above is a photo of Kerry talking to Putin and Lavrov in Moscow a week or so ago and their facial expressions are hard to misread. There’s Kerry, with his back to the camera, babbling away as per usual. Lavrov’s face says: “I can’t believe I have to sit here and listen to this nonsense again.” Putin’s face says: “Oh the poor idiot, he can’t bring himself to understand that we’re just going to say ‘nyet’ again.” Kerry flew home with yet another “nyet.”
Eier- und Geflügelindustrie: Dieses Video macht einen fassungslos
Ob Kükenschreddern, Käfighaltung oder maßlose Ausbeutung der Legehennen – die kommerzielle Eier- und Geflügelindustrie schreckt vor nichts zurück. Was für ein grausames System hinter dieser Industrie steckt – und warum so viele Tiere ihr Leben lassen müssen, zeigt diese Dokumentation. Aber Achtung – nichts für schwache Nerven.
El Salvador – Perversion des Menschenrechtsdiskurses
„Die Magistraten erweisen sich als politische Operateure mächtiger Wirtschaftssektoren, die nie akzeptiert haben, dass sie seit 2009 die Kontrolle über die Exekutive und das Parlament verloren haben. Wir prangern die destabilisierende Absicht einer Gruppe von Richtern an, sich zu einer parallelen Regierung entwickeln zu wollen, einer Regierung der Richter, die sich verfassungswidrig über den Rest der Staatsgewalten erheben will. Wir anerkennen wie stets in der Vergangenheit das Recht der Opfer auf Wahrheit, Gerechtigkeit und Wiedergutmachung als Weg zur Aussöhnung, wie er sich in den Abkommen von 1992 niederschlägt.“

Hulusi Akar will meet on Aug. 1 at the Turkish military headquarters in Ankara after the U.S. commander’s visit to İncirlik Air Base in the southern province of Adana on late July 31. Dunford was expected to meet U.S. troops stationed at the base fighting against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Decree by Turkey‘s Erdogan Brings Military More Under Govt
The decree, the third issued under a three-month state of emergency declared after the attempted coup, gives the president and prime minister the authority to issue direct orders to the commanders of the army, air force and navy.
It also announces the discharge of 1,389 military personnel, including Erdogan‘s chief military adviser, who had been arrested days after the attempted coup, the Chief of General Staff‘s charge d‘affaires and the defense minister‘s chief secretary.
Turkey lashes out at Germany over ban on Erdoğan’s videoconference
Erdoğan wanted to address the participants via video but was rejected by the local authorities and the German Constitutional Court due to security concerns. Kalın however, said Turkey was expecting to hear the “real reason” behind the ban. “It’s not acceptable for the authorities, who have been silent about the activities of the terrorist organization in the past, to try to hinder a rally on democracy on the grounds violence can spark.
Ankara mayor: Top officials at risk of assassinations
Gökçek, one of the most outspoken senior figures in the AKP who regularly updates 3.4 million followers on Twitter with his views, said there would no longer be a risk of coups in Turkey but rather of assassinations.
“Politicians will be at risk of assassinations… of course I have increased my security,” he said.
The mayor was quick to take to Twitter on the night of the coup attempt, describing it as a Gülen-backed coup minutes after the first reports emerged and then calling all supporters out into the streets.
Ich kann der #HDP nur dringend empfehlen, sich von der #PKK und diesem Öcalan-Kult endgültig zu verabschieden.

Anarchist Critique of PKK
So, in order to avoid any legal or political blowback, U.S. officials now insist that they are not at all working with the-organization-that-must-not-be-named, but rather with the SDF, where the YPG is only one member among many. And the United States has avoided adding the YPG to any blacklists, even though any American official could (but won’t) tell you that it’s a PKK front.”
I do not think supporters of the PKK can simply dismiss arguments that the PKK is benefiting from US imperialism so easily as they think they can or would like to. I think they have to study the US’s role in the situation rather then just writing off the involvement of the world’s foremost imperial power as a side effect of “real politik”.
Four soldiers killed in two separate PKK attacks
PKK militants opened fire on soldiers from a forested area in Ordu as troops were conducting operational searches near the Topçam Gendarmerie Station in the Mesudiye district after receiving a warning.
According to initial reports, three soldiers were killed and two others were wounded in the attack.

Apex by Merrin Karras
Inspired by the sounds of artists like Klaus Schulze, Biosphere and Abul Mogard, and finding renewed focus in creating without external pressures or deadlines, Gregoriy’s ambient experimentation emerged, fully-formed, as Merrin Karras. His debut album under this moniker.
Written and recorded in two Berlin winters, it’s a record driven by a widescreen contrast between celestial beauty and engulfing black hole intent. Flawlessly produced, Vangelis panorama and vintage sci-fi exist in a space where drums and rhythmic elements have been willfully stripped out — and where the synths can truly breathe.
Facing defeat, US threatens to balkanise Syria
Well, the party is clearly over and the foreign-backed terror machine seems to be a doomed project. This is the historical moment we are in… Those who backed ISIL and many other terror outfits are just going to have to own up to what Syria and Iraq have become… On the other hand, the trend lines on the War on Terror, refugee crisis, anti-Islam and anti-Muslim propaganda, failure of Western democracy and the vast militarised police and security system all point toward deep trouble in Europe as well. On refugee and humanitarian issues alone the crisis will deepen and most likely in a dramatic way. Recent terror attacks in France and Germany suggest they are woefully unprepared for what lies ahead.

So who’s going to bail out the banks?
A most unusual thing happened in Europe this week. In a rare climb down, Angela Merkel’s government decided not to push the European Commission to impose a punitive fine on Portugal and Spain for their persistent failure to comply with their budget deficit targets, leading one Eurogroup minister to declare that the euro zone’s Stability Pact is “dead.”
Uber hired CIA-linked research firm to investigate Seattle union politics

Turkey: Top ministers to join Supreme Military Council
A number of military officers will no longer sit on the council, including some generals and admirals.
Under other reforms, the gendarmerie is now answerable to the Interior Ministry, so the gendarmerie commander will also no longer sit on the council.
Also under the changes announced, the defense minister replaces the deputy chief of General Staff as the council’s secretary general.

Ebenso werden Bußgeldvorschriften für Dritte ausgeweitet. Heißt: Einem Vermieter oder Nachbarn, der dem Jobcenter auf Anfrage eine falsche oder keine Auskunft über den Bezieher gibt, droht eine Strafe von bis zu 5.000 Euro.

This Is How Washington Learned Of The Attempted Turkey Coup
It came from the number of his Turkish counterpart, Gen. Hulusi Akar, the leader of Turkey’s military and a critical ally in the fight against ISIS. But when Dunford’s office staff answered, it wasn’t Akar’s voice on the other end of the line — it was his kidnappers’, who, hours before, had started waging a bloody coup in the streets of Turkey. With Turkey’s top general and presidential confidante held hostage, they needed Dunford’s support.
