Warum Videoüberwachung kein wirksames Mittel bei der Terrorbekämpfung ist

Von Studien wissen wir, dass Videoüberwachung keine abschreckende Wirkung hat. Unbestritten ist dies auch die herrschende Meinung der Fachwissenschaft. Es ist eine Mär konservativer Politik, dass Videoüberwachung oder härtere Strafen abschrecken und Täter davon abhalten würden, Straftaten zu begehen. Mit dieser Argumentation müsste man davon ausgehen, dass die finale Strafe, die Todesstrafe, dazu führt, dass keine Tötungsdelikte mehr begangen werden. Das Beispiel USA lehrt uns etwas anderes.

Warum also schreien konservative Politiker reflexhaft nach mehr Überwachung und Repression? Weil sie genau das wollen!

Debatte um Sicherheit in Berlin Geisel wagt sich vor

(6.1.2016) So findet sich in dem Bündel von Präventions- und Sicherheitsmaßnahmen etwa der Vorschlag, Videoüberwachung künftig auch „anlassbezogen und temporär sowie an ausgewählten kriminalitätsbelasteten Orten“ einzusetzen. Bislang hatte sich die neue Koalition trotz großen öffentlichen Drucks immer noch geschlossen gegen mehr Videoüberwachung positioniert.

Native Americans Inspired by Standing Rock Fight Texas Pipeline

One of these movements is in the middle of a Texas desert, led by the Two Rivers tribe, who — just like protesters at Standing Rock — have set up a camp in resistance against the Trans-Pecos pipeline, a 148-mile project that would transport fracked natural gas from Texas‘ Big Bend region to Mexico. The corporation behind the project is the same one leading DAPL: Energy Transfer Partners.

Neue „Bundeseinheitliche Presseausweise“: Journalisten unter staatlicher Kontrolle?!

Der Presserat, das freiwillige Selbstkontrollorgan der deutschen Presse, verkauft eine grundgesetzlich verankerte freiheitliche Selbstverwaltung für ein Linsengericht. Wie will er garantieren, dass der Staat nicht im Rahmen der Ausweisangelegenheit nunmehr Einblick in die Belange der Mitglieder bekommt, die beruflichen Schutz suchen, ja sogar im ungünstigen Fall über den Entzug des Ausweises mitentscheidet? Die Medienverbände bringen sich damit in eine unnötige und fatale Unterwerfungsposition.

Unterhalb von „denen mache ich jetzt ihren Lebensunterhalt kaputt, die sollen obdachlos in der Gosse verrecken“ gibt es bei den Linken anscheinend keinen politischen Diskurs mehr.

Aktuell: „Wir machen jetzt Xing platt“. Begründung: Roland Tichy arbeitet bei Xing News.

Und wie sich rausstellt: arbeitete, denn nach Morddrohungen hat er seinen Mitherausgeber-Posten niedergelegt.

Ihr widert mich so dermaßen an, das glaubt ihr gar nicht. Ich kann mich nicht mit einem Mob gemein machen, der Morddrohungen und Existenzvernichtung für ein Mittel des politischen Diskurses hält.

ISIS Attack Theory Suits Netanyahu Well, but Jerusalem Is Not Berlin

The theory that the Armon Hanatziv terrorist, Fadi al-Qanbar, was more influenced by ISIS than by Palestinian organizations is strengthened by the fact that, according to his family, Qanbar had never been arrested, never belonged to any organization and was not politically active. His neighbors also claimed that he wasn’t particularly religious, but the beard in photos of him seem to indicate that he‘d become more involved with Islam.

Hätte doch bloß Meryl Streep die Golden Globes moderiert

„Dieser Auftritt hat seine Haken in mein Herz geschlagen. Nicht, weil er gut war – daran war nichts Gutes. Aber er war effektiv und hat seinen Zweck erfüllt: Er brachte das gewünschte Publikum zum Lachen (…). Es war jener Moment, als die Person, die darum bittet, das am meisten respektierte Amt in unserem Land bekleiden zu dürfen, einen behinderten Journalisten nachgeäfft hat. Jemanden, dem diese Person überlegen war: an Privilegien, an Macht und an Möglichkeiten, sich zu wehren. Es hat mein Herz gebrochen, als ich das sah, weil es nicht in einem Film war – es passierte im wahren Leben.“

DNC Packs Itself With Former Clinton Insiders Before Leadership Vote

The DNC has decided to create a new “War Room” whose purpose is to dig up and publicize horrible things about Donald Trump. Not a bad idea, but the only problem is that they are packing this War Room with former Clinton campaign staffers and their goal is actually to research the DNC hack that they believe cost Hillary the election. More corporate Democrats, less honesty – that’s what the DNC has to offer these days. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this

Censored 2016: The Most Important Stories That You Never Heard About
