RA.554 Craig Richards

We‘ve wanted to host a mix from Richards since the RA podcast began back in 2006, but we can say with certainty that it‘s been worth the wait. Like pretty much all of his DJ sets since fabric opened, RA.554 epitomises the philosophy that you don‘t need pyrotechnics to make your mark. This is three hours of deep, groovy and nuanced dance music from a master of the form.

Turkey’s real intentions on Cyprus: No troops withdrawal, “guarantor powers” remain, EU cannot…

Commander of DC National guard to step down during inauguration

The commanding general of Washington, D.C.’s national guard will step down from his post and retire next Friday, a few hours in to the inauguration ceremonies he spent months helping to plan. In an interview with the Washington Post, Major General Errol Schwartz seemed to suggest he’d been pushed out of the job, to which he was first appointed to by George W. Bush in 2008, by the incoming administration.

Spaltung des Westens: BND wirft Russland gezielte Stimmungsmache vor

Russland torpediert nach Auffassung des Bundesnachrichtendienstes (BND) und des Bundesamtes für Verfassungsschutz systematisch die enge Bindung Europas an die USA. Das geht nach SPIEGEL-Informationen aus einem Bericht des gemeinsamen Arbeitskreises „PsyOps“ (Psychologische Operationen) an die Bundesregierung hervor, der vor Kurzem fertiggestellt wurde.

Raus aus EU, rein in Demokratie – Wahlbetrug um EU-Parlamentspräsident aufgeflogen

Manfred Weber ist eine Blüte der Eurokratie. Er ist der Vertreter einer „christlich-konservativen und liberalen Erneuerung“ und sagt deshalb: “Wir müssen zurück zu Glaubwürdigkeit und Verlässlichkeit finden“. Christlich heißt für ihn offenkundig, dass Bescheißen unter das Beichtgeheimnis mit eingebauter Absolution fällt. Aber Weber hat tolle Gründe für den Pakt gegen das EU-Parlament und teilt den Wählern mit, das Geheimpapier sei: „Eine Partnerschaft gegen den Extremismus in diesem Haus, gegen die Anti-Europäer.“ Es könnte doch sein, dass jemand falsch wählt, das müssen die verlässlichen Eurokraten aber schleunigst korrigieren. So geht glaubwürdig.

Rudy Giuliani To Head Up Trump‘s Cybersecurity Team As The Internet Laughs At Giuliani‘s Security Bona Fides

So we‘re off to a great start. Instead of bringing in someone with actual knowledge and experience in cybersecurity, the President Elect has instead put a cybersecurity cosplayer in charge. And not even a particularly good impersonator of a cybersecurity expert, it seems, as the internet has already begun poking fun at the security measures, or lack thereof, Giuliani Consulting has deployed for its own website.

„Geheimhaltung war oberstes Gebot“ – Wie US-Strategen Boris Jelzin zum Wahlsieg verhalfen

Immer noch ist in Westmedien von „russischen Hackern“ die Rede, die im Auftrag Putins die US-Wahlen zugunsten Donald Trumps manipuliert haben sollen. Beweis gibt es dafür keinen – anders als für die US-Einflussnahme auf die russischen Präsidentenwahlen 1996.

Distrust Authority by 100blumen

on ‚distrust authority‘ 100blumen assimilate a wide range of influences from oldschool hardcore and noise rock to electro breaks and even dubstep. the result is a dense, highly explosive barrage of acoustic and electronic sound attacks – dirty, mean, massive and emotional. if you compare the original versions of ‚klimaveränderung‘ and ‚unbreakable‘ from the ‚down with the system…‘ album with the reworked tracks on this album,(…)

Journalists‘ Syndicate head: Egyptian press facing crisis with the state

Qalash: The ruling came as a shock to everyone. No crime was initially committed for us to receive such a harsh sentence. These things happened because we are defending our syndicate and its members. The imprisonment sentence is a cheap price to pay for defending the syndicate and preventing the storming in the future.

Why Saudi Arabia and Egypt are competing for influence in Africa

Djibouti, Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia in the Horn of Africa are strategically important for Cairo’s national security, allowing it to secure its interests in the Red Sea and headwaters of the Nile River areas, and to ensure access to its annual share of the Nile waters. Yet Saudi policies to promote the kingdom’s presence in these countries have become a source of concern for Cairo.

Trump Team’s Queries About Africa Point to Skepticism About Aid

“We’ve been hunting Kony for years, is it worth the effort?” poses another series of questions related to Joseph Kony, the warlord head of Uganda’s violent guerrilla group the Lord’s Resistance Army, who has eluded the authorities for three decades. “The LRA has never attacked U.S. interests, why do we care? Is it worth the huge cash outlays? I hear that even the Ugandans are looking to stop searching for him, since they no longer view him as a threat, so why do we?”

Kopfkino by KANT KINO

With their debut album “we are Kant Kino – you are not” released in 2010, the Norwegian duo took everyone by surprise and got elected to be the best EBM discovery of the year by many. Three years later, their “father worked in industry” CD reinforced their position with an even more matured production style brilliantly mixing stomping beats and melodic synths. Don’t we say that “all good things come in threes”?
