French candidate Fillon takes populist tone in campaign to fight back
Tens of thousands of people turned out in the rain to rally around him on Sunday. But his handling of the allegations against him, and the media attention surrounding them, have also marked a sharp change in tone for France‘s most establishment presidential candidate, with new tactics borrowed from the populist playbook.
Sunday‘s rally was initially described by Mr Fillon as a protest against political interference in the judiciary. He has complained of an „institutional coup d‘etat“, suggesting that the Socialist government is behind the allegations currently being investigated.
Fillon‘s hopes boosted as Republicans party pledges ‚unanimous‘ support
With just seven weeks to go before the country goes to the polls in a two-stage vote, Fillon said: „We have lost too much time with vain debates, leaving the way open for the far right and candidates on the left who are rubbing their hands over our disunity.“
Francois Fillon tells supporters to „ignore“ fresh media attacks
Once the front-runner Fillon has less than two months to play catch-up against far-right leader Marine Le Pen and independent centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron.
Is the BBC still lying over Syria footage?
Robert Stuart, a tenacious blogger, has been picking away at a scab the BBC would rather leave firmly in place.
His forensic research concerns an edition of the BBC’s flagship investigative current affairs show Panorama called Saving Syria’s Children. It was broadcast more than three years ago, as many in the media were trying to push the British government into intervening in Syria with bombing raids against the Syrian government – in a move that would effectively have bolstered ISIS and al-Qaeda affiliates in Syria.
This former British lawmaker is at the heart of the Trump wiretap allegations
Mensch, who is based in New York, said her sources contacted her because of her outspoken backing for the intelligence community. She has, for instance, called Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked classified documents, “a loathsome traitor.” “They gave me one of the most closely guarded secrets in intelligence,” she said, referring to her sources.

US-Demokraten wählen mit Perez Establishment
(27.2.2017) Auch Trump gratulierte Perez zum Sieg, baute dabei jedoch eine Spitze ein. Er könne nicht glücklicher sein, schrieb der Präsident auf Twitter, „weder für Perez noch für die Republikaner“.
Zum Glück gibt es das Establishment
(16.11.2016) Populisten wie Donald Trump schimpfen über die politischen Eliten. Dabei ist das Establishment unverzichtbar – wie das Beispiel Frank-Walter Steinmeier zeigt.
Der lange Kampf gegen das Establishment
(3.12.2016) Heute haben Wahlen und Referenden immer mehr Ähnlichkeit mit Strafaktionen. Wenn es gegen die „korrupten“, „verkommenen“ Eliten geht, ist sich das Trump-, Brexit- und FPÖ-Lager einig. Früher kam der Protest von links.

German Judge Fines Father Because He Didn‘t Tell His Kid Not To Engage In Piracy
Time for German parents to have „The Talk“ with their kids. Unprotected sexual activity is probably fine. But casual seeding? That‘s a problem.
TorrentFreak reports that a German court has decided to hold a parent responsible for his child‘s infringing activity. This doesn‘t have much to do with the rightsholder being unable to extract fines from a minor, but rather a perceived parenting failure.
Greece’s economy in recession: Growth in 2016 was 0.0%, says ELSTAT

Italy‘s dying elite is dragging the Eurozone ever closer towards the abyss
If the radical populist Five Star movement of comedian Beppe Grillo were to win the next election (which must be called by February 2018 at the latest), that arch euro-sceptic has vowed to hold a referendum on euro membership itself. Present opinion polls place such a pivotal vote as too close to call.
Orlando says will quit as minister

Multi-speed EU not plot agst Italy

On International Women‘s Day, March 8th, women and our allies will act together for equity, justice and the human rights of women and all gender-oppressed people, through a one-day demonstration of economic solidarity. Are You In?
In the same spirit of love and liberation that inspired the Women‘s March, we join together in making March 8th A Day Without a Woman, recognizing the enormous value that women of all backgrounds add to our socio-economic system–while receiving lower wages and experiencing greater inequities, vulnerability to discrimination, sexual harassment, and job insecurity. We recognize that trans and gender nonconforming people face heightened levels of discrimination, social oppression and political targeting. We believe in gender justice.

MAD wollte Uwe Mundlos als Informanten anwerben

Internes Papier des Innenministeriums: Verfassungsschutz darf direkt an Asylanhörungen teilnehmen (Update: Statements)
(12.12.2016) Das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz nimmt seit zwei Monaten teilweise direkt an Asylanhörungen teil. Und das soll geheim bleiben, zeigt ein internes Papier des Bundesinnenministeriums. Damit geht der Verfassungsschutz noch weiter als zuvor der BND, der jahrelang unter Tarnung Nachbefragungen durchführte und dafür Kritik erntete.
Flüchtlinge als Informanten: Asyl vom BND
(1.4.2016) Die HBW kooperierte dazu mit dem Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge (Bamf) und horchte die Menschen verdeckt aus. Bei vielen Gesprächen waren auch amerikanische Geheimdienstmitarbeiter anwesend, ohne dass dies den Befragten klar war.

(30.1.2016) Der Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) und das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz sind von 2000 bis 2013 an 850 Asylbewerber herangetreten, um von ihnen nachrichtendienstliche Informationen abzuschöpfen. Dies geht aus der Antwort der Bundesregierung auf eine Kleine Anfrage der Linken-Fraktion im Parlament hervor, die dem SPIEGEL vorliegt.
