Während die IT-„Experten“ seit 20 Jahren Luftmaus spielen, gebt Ihr Euch jetzt mal sichere Passwörter

Wem es bisher nicht aufgefallen ist: unter den Stichwörtern „Meltdown“ und „Spectre“ hat sich heraus gestellt, dass sämtliche „Experten“ dieser Welt faktisch seit der Erfindung des World Wide Web die simple Frage „Was ist eigentlich ein Prozessor, wie viele sind da wirklich in diesen Computern und was machen die den ganzen Tag?“ weder jemals öffentlich gestellt, noch öffentlich beantwortet haben.

Jede „Hardware“ die Ihr benutzt, ist ein Scheunentor. Und keiner kann irgendwas, oder er / sie belügt euch. Davon muss ausgegangen werden, bis zum Beweis des Gegenteils.

Was mich und uns angeht, soll hier – wieder mal – ein solcher Beweis angetreten werden. Es geht um Eure Passwörter.

EU Commission Asks Public To Weigh In On Survey About Just How Much They Want The Internet To Be Censored

A few years ago, when the EU Commission was first considering some really bad copyright policies designed to attack fundamental principles of how the internet worked, we pointed out the many, many problems with the EU Commission‘s online survey (including the fact that their survey tool was literally broken, which eventually resulted in them expanding the time that the survey could be answered). It appears that one thing the EU Commission is good at doing is pushing silly one-sided online surveys that seem uniquely designed to get people to answer in a manner that blesses whatever awful policy the EU Commission has already decided to adopt.

‚Trump‘s going to be forced to resign‘: Stormy Daniels‘ lawyer predicts a fall

“Ultimately, he is going to be forced to resign,” said Michael Avenatti, the attorney for the adult film actor who says she had an affair with Donald Trump and was paid by Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, to keep it quiet.

“I don’t know how he will ultimately spin his departure, but I firmly believe there is going to be too much evidence of wrongdoing by him and those around him for him to be able to survive the balance of his term.”

Anwalt von Stormy Daniels: „Trump wird zum Rücktritt gezwungen sein“

Die Affäre um das an die Porno-Darstellerin Stormy Daniels gezahlte Schweigegeld weitet sich immer mehr zu einer medialen Schlacht zwischen Juristen aus. Und dabei hat das Lager von US-Präsident Donald Trump, repräsentiert durch Rudolph Giuliani, zurzeit die schlechteren Karten.

Giuliani doesn‘t rule out that Trump could take Fifth Amendment in Mueller probe

Giuliani: It is possible Michael Cohen paid off other women for Trump

When asked during an interview on ABC News’s “This Week” whether Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal attorney, had made payments to other women, Giuliani said he did not know of any but acknowledged that this could have happened.

“I have no knowledge of that,” Giuliani said. “But I would think if it was necessary, yes.”

06.05.2018 - 19:01 [ Michelle Goldberg / New York Times ]

Does Giuliani Have a Plan, or Is This Just a Freakout?

Were they trying to get out ahead of a coming revelation? To set off a metaphorical smoke bomb that would distract from some other scandalous development? Or were they really as blundering and incompetent as they appeared?

I suspect the answer is a combination of the three.

Once the Syrian war is over, Qatar could become an empire once more

(3.Mai) Not that Qatar would ever own Syria – far from it, Syrians would fight to stop that – but it would have, as we say in the Middle East, “considerable influence”. It would have power. And a power – with a Mediterranean coastline – that even Saudi Arabia doesn’t have.(…)

Karl Marx wouldn’t agree that worker power has been killed by the 21st century

(3.Mai) I would argue that the lasting legacy of Marx 200 years after his birth comes from the conclusion he and Friedrich Engels drew in their 1848 publication The Communist Manfesto:

„The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workers of all countries unite.“
