EU jumpstarts measures to protect companies investing in Iran
The Commission is also encouraging Member States to explore the possibility of one-off bank transfers to the Central Bank of Iran. This could help the Iranian authorities to receive their oil-related revenues, writes the Commission.
The Commission did not lose any time and dispatched its energy commissioner, Miguel Canete, to Teheran already during the weekend in a show of confidence building. Unusually for EU-Iran meetings, this time the meeting ended with a joint press statement on nuclear safety cooperation and âthe strengthening of ties at all levelsâ.

AnkĂŒndigung des US-PrĂ€sidenten: Trump lĂ€sst „FBI-Unterwanderung“ prĂŒfen
Schon lange hat US-PrĂ€sident Trump das FBI wegen der Ermittlungen in der Russland-AffĂ€re im Visier. Jetzt prĂŒft das Justizministerium, ob die Bundespolizei sein Wahlkampfteam ausspionierte.
DOJ seeks probe of FBI conduct in 2016 campaign after Trump ‚spy‘ claim
„If anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action,“ Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said.
I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes – and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!
Could the FBI and MI6 Have Planted a British Mole in Trump Campaign?
The entire allegation of collusion with Russia may have been dreamed up by MI6. Consider (reprinted from „Rogue Spooks“):
1: It was Government Communications Headquarters â Britain‘s NSA â that first warned the U.S. that the Russians had hacked the Democratic Party‘s computers. Back in September 2015, long before the FBI and CIA knew anything about it or showed any interest in it, GCHQ was waving warning flags about Russian hacking. For a long time, the U.S. did nothing about it.
2: During the campaign and even after, both MI6 and GCHQ routinely passed along classified intelligence information to the U.S. intelligence community about Trump‘s associates.
3: It was Christopher Steele, an ex-MI6 spy, who says he wrote the dossier that contained all the unsubstantiated and unreliable but nevertheless explosive material about Donald Trump. Was Steele only a former MI6 agent? Bear in mind what the Russian embassy said: „MI6 officers are never ex.“
Trump vermutet FBI-Informant in seinem Team
Trump legt seit Tagen nahe, dass es sich um eine von der Regierung seines VorgĂ€ngers Barack Obama platzierte Quelle in seinem Wahlkampfteam gehandelt haben könnte. «Wenn das der Fall ist, ist es grösser als Watergate», twitterte Trump am Donnerstag in Anspielung auf die gleichnamige AffĂ€re, in deren Verlauf der damalige PrĂ€sident Richard Nixon 1974 wegen des Skandals um einen Lauschangriff auf die Demokraten zurĂŒckgetreten war.
Rise of the Police: Gesetzentwurf fĂŒr das neue Polizeigesetz Niedersachsens kryptisch und unlesbar, Innenministerium verweigert weitere AufklĂ€rung â wir veröffentlichen zusammen mit Digitalcourage Braunschweig eine ĂŒbersichtliche GegenĂŒberstellung der alten und der geplanten neuen Regelungen
Wie verhindert man Kritik und Protest an einem neuen Gesetz? Indem man den Gesetzentwurf so verfasst, dass ihn so gut wie niemand verstehen und interpretieren kann.
Nach diesem Schema scheint die in Niedersachsen seit letztem Jahr von SPD und CDU gefĂŒhrte Landesregierung zu verfahren, um ein neues NiedersĂ€chsisches Polizeigesetz (NPOG) erfolgreich verabschieden zu können.
Face Off: The lawless growth of facial recognition in UK policing recognition in UK
Facial recognition has long been feared as a feature of a future authoritarian society, with its potential to turn CCTV cameras into identity checkpoints, creating a world where citizens are intensively watched and tracked. However, facial recognition is now a reality in the UK â despite the lack of any legal basis or parliamentary scrutiny, and despite the significant
concerns raised by rights and race equality groups.
De-Briefing Academics: Unpaid Intelligence Informants
Over the past half-century, I have been engaged in research, lectured and worked with social movements and leftist governments in Latin America. I interviewed US officials and think tanks in Washington and New York. I have written scores of books, hundreds of professional articles and presented numerous papers at professional meetings.
In the course, of my activity I have discovered that many academics are frequently engage in what government officials dub âde-briefingâ! Academics meet and discuss their field-work, data collection, research finding, observations and personal contacts over lunch at the Embassy with US government officials or in Washington with State Department officials.
US government officials look forward to these âdebriefingsâ; the academic provided useful access to information which they otherwise could not obtain from paid, intelligence agents or local collaborators.
Not all academic informants are very well placed or competent investigators. However, many provide useful insights and information especially on leftist movements, parties and leaders who are real or potential anti-imperialist adversaries.

Weltinternetkonferenz: China schlÀgt weltweite Internet-Kontrolle vor

„Eine neue Dimension erhĂ€lt die Bedrohung unseres demokratischen Systems durch das Internet als Massen-Kommunikationsmittel, womit die GefĂŒhle von Menschen weitgehend ungefiltert und unkontrolliert manipuliert werden können.“

Militarismus und Faschismus im deutschen Bundestag
WĂ€hrend ihrer RegierungserklĂ€rung tat Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel zwar so, als ob Weidel und die AfD gar nicht existierten, aber sie formulierte ein militaristisches Programm, dass der Arbeiterklasse wie 1933 nur durch die Errichtung einer Diktatur aufgezwungen werden kann. âAufgrund der Ereignisse im Jahre 2014 und aufgrund dessen, was vor unserer HaustĂŒr passiertâ, mĂŒsse sich Deutschland wieder rĂŒsten und auf Krieg vorbereiten, lautete die Botschaft Kanzlerin.
In schroffem Ton wies sie ihren eigenen Finanzminister darauf hin, dass die bislang fĂŒr den Wehrhaushalt veranschlagten zusĂ€tzlichen Milliarden dafĂŒr bei weitem nicht ausreichen. Deutschland fĂŒhle sich den Zielen âvon Wales bzw. der NATO [âŠ] verpflichtet. Das haben wir auch im Koalitionsvertrag niedergelegtâ, betonte sie. Konkret bedeutet dies, dass die Verteidigungsausgaben bis 2024 auf zwei Prozent des Bruttoinlandsprodukts (oder in Zahlen von derzeit 37 auf etwa 75 Milliarden Euro) anwachsen sollen, was Deutschland zur mit Abstand stĂ€rksten MilitĂ€rmacht in Europa machen wĂŒrde.
Malta court rejects bid to stop FBI testimony in journalist murder case
Maurizio Cordina, a lawyer representing Maltaâs Attorney General, said the case was âa desperate maneuver by Mr Degiorgio to delay, if not blockâ the trial, adding that Bajada had simply gathered evidence and had not worked with the FBI.
The case against Degiorgio is built mostly around intercepts of mobile phone data compiled by the FBI and Bajada.
An Empire Built on Fear at Home and Abroad. War Fever is Everywhere
Political leaders and the mass media deluge the public with a constant stream of frightening incidents caused by the enemy-of-the-week: nerve gas killing dozens of little babies in Syria, Russian-directed poison assassination attempts in England and terror incidents throughout Europe, requiring an increase in domestic police state surveillance and spying. Extensively monitored bank records, intrusive workplace controls, and all personal and, especially, political communications, are in the hands of state security officials or corporate security contractors.
Hundreds of prosecuting attorneys look forward to career-enhancing investigations in perpetuity, tracking the complex networks of extended personal and family links, including long forgotten acquaintances and the contents of casual conversations. Everyone may be subject to interrogations without warrant or explanation. And the âmediaâ cheers on the process.
Political trials and convictions in court and the media are rampant. Social, work-place and academic self censorship and blacklisting of dissident voices have become pervasive and accepted.
Elections and appointments are rigged by corporate and special interests to favor the most bellicose ideologues who manufacture the pretexts for war.
Political intimidation, trade wars and sanctions run amok .
Ein Imperium, das im In- und Ausland Angst verbreitet und vom Kriegsfieber befallen ist
FĂŒhrende Politiker ĂŒberschwemmen die Ăffentlichkeit mit Hilfe der Massenmedien stĂ€ndig mit einer Flut von Berichten ĂŒber furchterregende Vorkommnisse â verursacht vom „Feind der Woche“: In Syrien sollen Dutzende Kleinkinder an Giftgas erstickt sein, in England soll es Mordversuche mit russischem Nervengas gegeben haben, und die vielen behaupteten TerroranschlĂ€ge ĂŒberall in Europa schreien förmlich nach noch mehr Polizeistaat und noch schĂ€rferer Ăberwachung. Die privaten Bankkonten, das Verhalten
am Arbeitsplatz, die persönliche Kommunikation und alle politischen MeinungsĂ€uĂerungen werden stĂ€ndig von staatlichen Behörden und privaten Sicherheitsfirmen kontrolliert.
Hunderte karrieregeiler StaatsanwĂ€lte lassen die Familie und den Bekanntenkreis „missliebiger BĂŒrger“ durchleuchten â auch lĂ€ngst erloschene Bekanntschaften und zufĂ€llige GesprĂ€chspartner. Jeder kann ohne BegrĂŒndung und ohne Rechtsgrundlage Verhören unterzogen werden, und die „Medien“ spenden bei solchen Ăbergriffen auch noch Beifall.
Politische Prozesse und politisch begrĂŒndete Urteile werden von den Medien gelobt. Selbstzensur im sozialen Umfeld, am Arbeitsplatz und an UniversitĂ€ten sind zur Regel geworden, und ĂŒber die weit verbreitete Erfassung von Menschen mit abweichenden Meinungen in schwarzen Listen regt sich niemand mehr auf.
Wahlen und Ernennungen werden zum Vorteil von Konzernen so manipuliert, dass sich nur Kriegstreiber durchsetzen, die bereit sind, VorwĂ€nde fĂŒr Kriege zu liefern.
Politische EinschĂŒchterung, Handelskriege und Sanktionen haben Hochkonjunktur.
Caipirinha ist die Politparole der Zeit
Trunken vor GlĂŒck, vielleicht auch nur glĂŒcklich betrunken tanzt das Volk hinter den wummernden Beats. Es ist ein Fest. Und wenn man tanzen kann, hat das immer auch ein wenig was von Revolution. Caipirinha!, lautet der Slogan der Masse. Er ist â unbeabsichtigt vielleicht, aber treffend â die politischste Parole der Zeit.
