Ein Generalstreik legte am Mittwoch das öffentliche Leben in Griechenland weitgehend lahm. Der Protest gegen den neuen Haushaltsplan der Regierung unter Alexis Tsipras zeigt, dass sich die Lage der Griechen seit dem in Brüssel mit falschem Optimismus verkündeten Ausstieg aus dem sogenannten Hilfsprogramm der EU-Kommission nicht einen Deut gebessert hat.

Dede Korkut
Die Geschichten stammen aus mündlicher Tradition und basieren auf den Erinnerungen der Ogusen an ihre zentralasiatische Heimat.
Die Figur des Dede Korkut (Großvater Korkut) erinnert stark an Dichter und Magier der schamanistischen Ära. Als epischer Sänger begleitet er sich mit der Streichlaute kobys, die er selbst erfunden hat. Dede Korkut verkörpert die Erfahrung und die Vernunft der Ahnen. Er ist immer neutral und wird von Freund und Feind respektiert.

Amri war nicht allein
Amris Weg in Deutschland war mit Agenten, Spitzeln und »V-Leuten« flankiert. Dass die Identität des Attentäters als tunesischer Flüchtling ausgerechnet vom Dresdner Pegida-Boss Lutz Bachmann auf Twitter öffentlich gemacht worden war, rundet das Bild ab: Alle wussten hier offenbar alles. Nur verhindern wollte niemand etwas. Auf die Frage, warum dies so ist, folgt stets eine weitere: Wem nutzt es?

Boris: Brexit debate must include Brexiteer
And the public agree: 63% of Brits are in favour of a debate that includes someone who considers a No Deal, World Trade Brexit a serious option. Which Boris has repeatedly reiterated that he does.
May replicating Cameron’s Remain defeat all over again: – EU knew she wouldn’t walk away – Left with bad deal – Rely on big business to sell – Throw out doomsday Treasury forecasts We defeated Project Fear once, we’ll do it again.
Theresa May accused of ‚rehashing Project Fear‘ as Treasury says UK will be £150bn worse off under no deal
A cross-Government analysis is expected to show that under the Chequers agreement, which forms the basis of her deal, the UK‘s GDP will be between 1 and 2 per cent lower over 15 years than if it had stayed in the EU.
However, in a move that will prompt a backlash from Tory Eurosceptics, the ministers are expected to argue that the UK will still be significantly better off than it would if it left without a deal.

Guardian quietly edits itself away from completely fabricated blockbuster „Manafort visited Assange at embassy“ story. Expect more changes.
U.K. and Ecuador Conspire to Deliver Julian Assange to U.S. Authorities
Behind the revelation of those secret charges for supposedly threatening U.S. national security is a murky story of a political ploy by the Ecuadorian and British governments to create a phony rationale for ousting Assange from the embassy. The two regimes agreed to base their plan on the claim that Assange was conspiring to flee to Russia.

Growing calls for Guardian editor-in-chief to resign after the paper publishes massive ‘fake news’ story
There are growing calls for the Guardian‘s editor-in-chief to resign as the paper faces accusations of publishing a major “fake news” story about WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on 27 November. Citing anonymous sources, the Guardian article accused Assange of holding “secret talks” with Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort. The allegation could strengthen efforts to extradite Assange to the US, where he may face the death penalty.
It is possible Manafort visited Assange, but because The Guardian presents no evidence, relying on an anonymous source and a bizarrely vague „intelligence document“ it did not publish, „no rational person would assume this story to be true“
The Guardian reporter who published the story in question is Luke Harding.
Assange Never Met Manafort. Luke Harding and the Guardian Publish Still More Blatant MI6 Lies
I am not a fan of Donald Trump. But to see the partisans of the defeated candidate (and a particularly obnoxious defeated candidate) manipulate the security services and the media to create an entirely false public perception, in order to attempt to overturn the result of the US Presidential election, is the most astonishing thing I have witnessed in my lifetime.
