The Iron Jaws of the Police State: Trumpâs America Is a Constitution-Free Zone
Please. Somebody give Attorney General Jeff Sessions a copy of the Constitution. And while youâre at it, get a copy to President Trump, too. In fact, you might want to share a copy with the nationâs police officers, as well.
I have my doubts that any of these individualsâall of whom swore to uphold and defend the Constitutionâhave ever read any of the nationâs founding documents.
Candidate Trump: âI Love Wikileaks.â President Trump: âArrest Assange!â
Back then he praised Wikileaks for promoting transparency, but candidate Trump looks less like President Trump every day. The candidate praised whistleblowers and Wikileaks often on the campaign trail. In fact, candidate Trump loved Wikileaks so much he mentioned the organization more than 140 times in the final month of the campaign alone! Now, as President, it seems Trump wants Wikileaks founder Julian Assange sent to prison.

Wegen Syrien-Besuchs: PACE will eigenen Vorsitzenden stĂŒrzen
In Syrien hatte Agramunt betont, er sei privat dorthin gereist, ohne dabei die PACE zu vertreten.
PACE President under fire for Syria trip, meeting Assad
Peter Ford, the former British ambassador to Syria, has said that the current political climate makes it impossible for anyone to approach Assad or the Syrian government as anything other than alleged war criminals.
âIn the present atmosphere of hysteria, it is impossible to get a fair hearing about Syria or to make a fact-finding visit to Syria or to have any contact with Syria at all,â Ford recently told RT. âMinds in government and the Western media are virtually closed and we are in a period of total hysteria.â
âIt is impossible to have a rational discussion of Syria at the moment in many Western countries. There are too many vested interests that want to prevent a rational discussion. Anyone who tries to be objective is immediately, personally attacked.â
Die langen Linien der Weltpolitik
Berlin, das sich um jeden Preis eine weltpolitische FĂŒhrungsrolle sichern will und sich deshalb auf entsprechende EinflusskĂ€mpfe inklusive einer möglichen bewaffneten Eskalation vorbereitet, trifft nun Vorkehrungen fĂŒr solche GegenschlĂ€ge auf eigenes Territorium: Im Zentrum der Neuausrichtung der Bundeswehr stehen, wie Generalleutnant BĂŒhler konstatiert, die „Landes- und BĂŒndnisverteidigung“ sowie die „Bereitschaft zur Abschreckung“. Freilich dĂŒrfe dies die FĂ€higkeit des deutschen MilitĂ€rs, globale Interventionskriege zu fĂŒhren, nicht beeintrĂ€chtigen.

Moskau zu Londons Atomschlag-Warnung: GroĂbritannien riskiert, ausradiert zu werden
Denn dann wĂ€re man gezwungen, die Frage zu beantworten, gegen wen London seine Atomwaffen eigentlich einsetzen wolle. Hier gebe es zwei Möglichkeiten: entweder gegen eine andere Atommacht oder gegen ein Land, das ĂŒber keine Atomwaffen verfĂŒge.
Im ersten Fall werde GroĂbritannien mit einem Gegenschlag âbuchstĂ€blich vom Antlitz der Erde ausgelöschtâ, so Klinzewitsch. Sollte eher die zweite Variante gemeint sein, lasse dies dem Abgeordneten zufolge darauf schlieĂen, dass âdie Lorbeeren der USA, die die Atombomben auf die schutzlosen StĂ€dte Hiroshima und Nagasaki abwarfen, London keine Ruhe lassenâ.

(23.4.2017) âMan muss sich bemĂŒhen, die Grenze zwischen den heutigen Nato-LĂ€ndern und Russland zu demilitarisieren, unsere KrĂ€fte auseinanderzufĂŒhren, sie weiter voneinander entfernt zu halten. Wir dĂŒrfen nicht in einen neuen Kalten Krieg abgleitenâ, sagte Corbyn am Sonntag gegenĂŒber BBC.

(23.4.2017) The Labour leader, who is a life-long anti-nuclear campaigner, was also asked whether a Labour government would scrap Trident if successful in Juneâs election.
He said: âWe would have a strategic defence review immediately which would look at all aspects of defence as most incoming governments do. We would look at the situation at that time. But we would also make sure our Armed Forces are properly funded and are able to play their part in peacekeeping around the world.“
Meanwhile, the Conservatives warned Mr Corbyn would be unable to take the âdifficult decisionsâ needed in the event of a major terrorist attack.
Sigmar Gabriel, Reuven Rivlin
Jerusalem : German Foreign Minister, Sigmar Gabriel, left, shakes hands with Israelâs President, Reuven Rivlin during their meeting at the Presidentâs residence in Jerusalem, Tuesday, April 25, 2017.
Rivlin Uses Holocaust Day to Challenge Netanyahuâs Darkness and Despair
Rivlin took issue with his idol Menachem Beginâs justification for the 1982 war in Lebanon, which was to âprevent another Treblinka.â He said that such an approach consigns the justification for Israelâs very existence to preventing another Holocaust. He described the approach as âdangerous,â one in which âevery threat is existential and every enemy is Hitler.â He decried the division of the world to either ârighteous gentiles or anti-Semitic Nazis,â a separation that transforms any criticism against Israel to an expression of anti-Semitism. Instead, Rivlin offered what he described as âa third wayâ that combines the Israeli vow of never again, accentuates Jewish solidarity throughout the world and adopts the Jewish value of respecting all men and women, regardless of their religion or race.

Malware Hunts And Kills Poorly Secured Internet Of Things Devices Before They Can Be Integrated Into Botnets
The problem (aside from this being illegal and destructive) is that the type of person that‘s likely to go out and purchase a poorly-secured „gee whiz“ IOT device or router without considering security — is the same type of person that‘s not going to understand why that device just stopped working for no coherent reason. As a result, they‘re likely to rush out and buy another, poorly-secured device, bringing the incompetence full circle with a zero net gain.
