Weißes Haus: Doch keine neuen Vorbedingungen für Treffen Trump-Kim

Nachdem vorgestern „MSNBC“-Reporterin Hallie Jackson durch die Blume gefragt hatte, ob es denn möglich sei dieses verdammte Treffen ganz loszuwerden und endlich wieder in Ruhe abschlachten und Krieg führen zu können, ohne von irgendeinem Frieden irgendwo belästigt zu werden, war es heute „ABC News“-Reporter Jonathan Karl, der den Staffel-Stab der Kriegslobby in den Medien übernahm.

Und obwohl auch der Vize-Sprecher des Weißen Hauses Raj Shah so ziemlich das Gegenteil von dem repräsentierte, was im Allgemeinen als Granit bezeichnet wird, so folgte Mr. Shah mutmaßlich diesmal genauen Befehlen, was er als einfache bezahlte Quatschdrohne und Garderobenständer verdammt noch mal nicht zu versauen habe.

DIW-Studie : Vermögen ungleicher verteilt als gedacht

(3.9.2015) Bezieht man die Topvermögensbesitzer in die Verteilungsforschung ein, so steigt der Anteil des obersten Prozents der Bevölkerung am Gesamtvermögen erheblich. Rein nach den Daten der Befragungen hält das reichste Prozent in Deutschland rund 24 Prozent am Gesamtreichtum von knapp 9 Billionen Euro. Berücksichtigt man die Superreichen, steigt der Anteil auf rund 32 Prozent. Betrachtet man nur das oberste Promille der Bevölkerung, ist der Effekt noch größer: Nach den lückenhaften Daten der ursprünglichen EZB-Studie kommt das oberste Tausendstel auf rund 4 Prozent des Gesamtvermögens, nach der DIW-Studie sind es etwas über 17 Prozent.

Informed sources: Using napalm and phosphor, a new chapter of lies by terrorist organizations against Syrian Army

Informed sources stressed that before holding a new session of the Security Council, the terrorism-backing media fabricated a new chapter of lies on the use of phosphor and napalm along with the lie of using chemical weapons which is exploited by the terrorist organizations and their Western backers against the Syrian Arab Army.

The sources clarified on Sunday that whenever the Syrian Arab Army tightens the noose around the terrorist organizations in Eastern Ghouta, the terrorists’ supporters order them to use false accusations against the Syrian army.

The continued victories achieved by the Syrian Arab Army against terrorists in Ghouta have moved the conspiring countries to repeat the false accusations on using chemical weapons against Syria, the sources added.

Was ist denn da los mit unserem Geheimdienst?

Ist es eine sich anbahnende Staatsaffäre, wie die Opposition vermutet, oder handelt es sich lediglich um „lupenreine Ermittlungen in einem brisanten Fall“, wie der Innenminister betont?

The Russian Federation is a partner of bloodshed with the Turkish state in Afrin

(7.3.2018) For more than 47 days, the Turkish state and its terrorist factions of ISIS and AL-Nusra front have launched an aggression and open warfare on Afrin enclave, using various types of weapon and troops.

As everyone knows, Afrin‘s sky was protected by the Russian Federation air forces, and if it hadn‘t been the Russian approval, the Turkish air forces would not be able to penetrate the Syrian space and carry out their airstrikes and aggression.

It is clear now that the Russian Federation complicit with the Turkish state by opening her airspace for the Turkish state allowing her to commit massacre against the civilians in Afrin. The Russian complicity came after many failure attempts by the Russian to extort People‘s Protection Units and the political administration in Afrin, and impose Russian private agendas which have no benefits for the Syrian people.

Geek Squad‘s Relationship with FBI Is Cozier Than We Thought

Although these documents provide new details about the FBI’s connection to Geek Squad and its Kentucky repair facility, the FBI has withheld a number of other documents in response to our FOIA suit. Worse, the FBI has refused to confirm or deny to EFF whether it has similar relationships with other computer repair facilities or businesses, despite our FOIA specifically requesting those records. The FBI has also failed to produce documents that would show whether the agency has any internal procedures or training materials that govern when agents seek to cultivate informants at computer repair facilities.

The CIA Democrats: Introduction and Part one

The military-intelligence candidates are disproportionately favored by the party apparatus, encouraged to run in districts that are the most likely takeover targets. Military-intelligence candidates account for 10 of the 22 districts selected for the most high-profile attention as part of the “red-to-blue” program, or nearly half. In some cases, military-intelligence candidates have amassed huge campaign war chests that effectively shut out any potential rivals, an indication that the financial backers of the Democratic Party have lined up behind them.
