Ein Transmissionsriemen deutscher Dominanz

Vor der heute erwarteten Entscheidung der EU-Kommission über Italiens Staatshaushalt erhöhen deutsche Politiker und Medien den Druck auf Rom. Die italienische Regierung werde ihren Etatentwurf „korrigieren“ müssen, hatte der deutsche EU-Haushaltskommissar Günther Oettinger mit Blick auf das italienische Defizit bereits vergangene Woche erklärt. In Medienberichten ist von einer „schwarzen Woche“ für Rom die Rede; negative Berichterstattung ist – wie auch die Herabstufung der italienischen Kreditwürdigkeit durch Ratingagenturen – geeignet, zur Destabilisierung der Finanz- und Anleihemärkte Italiens beizutragen.

Informationen zum Thema „Zukunft der Personenbeförderung“: Änderung des Personenbeförderungsgesetzes aufhalten und neu überdenken!

Diese Seite richtet sich an Jeden:

KundInnen, solche, die es werden könnten, TaxifahrerInnen und -unternehmerInnen, MitarbeiterInnen aus Hotels und Gastronmie, BetreiberInnen und MitarbeiterInnen von Clubs und Veranstaltungen, MitarbeiterInnen aus Taxifunkzentralen und Taxiverbänden, an JournalistInnen, PolitikerInnen und ganz besonders auch an die sogenannten „EntscheidungsträgerInnen“ in der Politik.

Eine Änderung des Personenbeförderungsgesetztes (PBefG) steht uns bevor: Doch wer hat eigentlich ein Interesse daran dieses Bundesgesetz auf eine Art zu ändern, die wissenschaftliche Beiräte, AK ÖPV und Lobbyisten vorgeschlagen haben? Und was würden solche Änderungen für jeden Einzelnen bedeuten?
Schaut man genau hin, sieht man, dass die Vorschläge zu Änderungen, die durch die Zuarbeit verschiedener Gremien an das Verkehrsministerium entstanden sind, einzig darauf abzielen Geschäftsmodelle wie „UberX“ gesellschaftsfähig zu machen.

Album of the Day: Yoko Ono, “Warzone”

Warzone could have easily been a “greatest hits” collection, but instead, it’s much more. It’s a beacon to move toward, and a rallying cry. Yoko Ono has provided revolutionary mantras and anthems for almost half a century; she’s 85 now, and she’s shown no signs of giving up—on music, on art, on social justice. It’s a challenge for us to do the same.

NS-Atomwaffenpläne vereitelt: 99-jähriger Widerstandskämpfer tot

Ronneberg vereitelte im Zweiten Weltkrieg die Atomwaffenpläne der Nationalsozialisten.

Im Jahr 1943, schreibt die BBC, leitete er den Angriff auf ein Wasserkraftwerk in der Region Telemark in Norwegen. Dieses galt als eine der wenigen Quellen für Schweres Wasser (Deuteriumoxid), das für die Nazis für den Bau von Atomwaffen benötigt wurde.

This is the second undocumented mode in Intel ME that PT has found in recent years.

Apple left Intel processor management and testing tools unlocked for years

(5.10.2018) The Intel Management Engine (ME) is a subsystem used to handle tasks during the booting process and in the background, and has been in use since 2008. The Register reports the investigation by security firm Positive Technologies looked into how the subsystem could be abused, as a „side-channel threat“ to the processor.

Researchers Maxim Goryachy and Mark Ermolov, who previously were involved in the finding of a related Intel ME firmware flaw one year ago, posted on Tuesday about their latest discovery.

Some companies may misrepresent things, or try to play down stories, but outright fabrication is not at all common (and the consequences of a company doing it would be severe). And here, both Amazon and Apple‘s denials were so clear, so specific and so adamant that it raised serious questions about the reporting.

Vietnam Expands Decades Long Effort To Crack Down On Any Dissent Online By Demanding Data Be Kept In The Country

It‘s no secret that the Vietnamese government is no fan of the open internet. All the way back in 2002 we wrote about the government requiring people to register just to create a website. That same year we were writing about people being arrested for posting criticism of the government. In 2008, we wrote about the Vietnamese government banning „subversive“ blogs as well. With the rise of social media, Vietnam has shifted its focus there. In 2013, it banned news reporting on social media, saying it should be for personal use only. In 2014, we wrote about how the government was abusing Facebook‘s own reporting tools to shut down dissenters from using the site. And at the beginning of this year, we wrote about how the government now employed around 10,000 people whose only job was to monitor the internet for dissent.

And now it‘s going to get even worse — to a degree that might even lead some of the big internet companies to leave Vietnam entirely. And we have the NSA (partially) to blame.

China-India cooperation can be global yardstick

China-India cooperation is also in line with each nation‘s international strategy. The change in the international landscape has motivated developing countries to engage in multilateral cooperation and seek more say when it comes to protecting their own interests. China and India are both in favor of free trade. Down the road, they will need better coordination and more support from each other on issues such as the multilateral trade system and WTO reform.

Revived Beijing-Tokyo currency swap could be key to ending US dollar’s domination

A currency swap line between China and Japan, which may be agreed on during Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe‘s visit to Beijing later this week, would be a much-needed move to ensure that trade between Asia‘s two biggest economies remains intact despite the US‘ xenophobic approach to trade policy.

It‘s also clearly a significant step toward eroding the US dollar‘s status in the global financial system.

John Kelly and John Bolton Have Shouting Match Over Immigration

(18.10.2018) The three people said Mr. Kelly and Mr. Bolton were sparring over an issue that has frequently angered the president and has often prompted him to lash out at Kirstjen Nielsen, who succeeded Mr. Kelly as the secretary of homeland security after serving as his deputy chief of staff in the White House. Mr. Bolton was siding with the president, who has angrily blamed Ms. Nielsen for failing to stanch the flow of migrants across the border, while Mr. Kelly, who is fiercely protective of his protégé, defended her, the people said.

For this to happen, 48 Conservative MPs must submit letters to the Party‘s chairman.

And it could happen sooner rather than later amid reports that 46 have already been submitted.

May zu EU-Austritt: „Brexit-Abkommen zu 95 Prozent fertig“

May beharrt aber zugleich auf ihrer harten Haltung in der Frage der künftigen Grenze zwischen Irland und Nordirland. Die von der EU angestrebte Auffanglösung (backstop) sei nicht akzeptabel, da sie zu einer Zollgrenze in der Irischen See führen und die Einheit Großbritanniens zerstören würde, heißt es in Mays Redetext. „Ich denke nicht, dass irgendein britischer Premierminister das jemals akzeptieren könnte. Und ich werde es sicherlich nicht tun.“
