Venezuela‘s Maduro To Be Sworn at Top Court for 2nd Term

On Jan. 10, Maduro will assume his mandate as president for the 2019-2025 constitutional term, swearing his oath of office before the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), after his election on May 20, 2018.

In normal times, the oath of office is taken before the National Assembly (NA), but since that body remains in judicial contempt since 2016, it has no legal ability to perform its normal duties, explained president of the National Constituent Assembly (ANC) Diosdado Cabello.

Chile Carabineros Raid Mapuche Homes, Arrest 6

Some 70 Carabineros and federal police investigators raided several homes in Ercilla located in Chile’s southern region of Araucania early Monday morning arresting six unnamed residents.

Local media says mayor Jose Vilugron, a member of President Piñera’s right-wing National Renovation party, gave the go-ahead for the arrests of the Mapuche community members, as well as permission to militarize the zone.

Indigenous Mapuche leaders have been blocking major highways in Arauncia since late December demanding justice for the Carabinero murder of Indigenous 24-year-old Camilo Catrillanca on Nov. 14. Demonstrators in the region are calling for Carabineros to leave the now militarized region, a promise that President Sebastian Piñera made in December but has yet to keep.

Bernie Sanders Asked Not to Run in 2020 by Vermont Newspaper, ‚You Need to Know When to Step Out of the Way‘

„We fear a Sanders run risks dividing the well-fractured Democratic Party, and could lead to another split in the 2020 presidential vote. There is too much at stake to take that gamble. If we are going to maintain a two-party system, the mandate needs to be a clear one.“

Elizabeth Warren Moves Left—On Foreign Policy

Sanders and his allies view foreign affairs as a leading area for improvement on his 2016 run for president as foreign policy. The thinking is that had he assailed Hillary Clinton on a problematic record on Syria, Libya, Iraq as well as the Obama administration war in Yemen, he might well have captured the Democratic nomination.

Should the Left Unite Behind Elizabeth Warren?

n 2016, Bernie Sanders didn’t launch his bid for the presidency until Elizabeth Warren nipped hers in the bud. And, by most accounts, that wasn’t a coincidence.

‚The Labour leadership now needs to fully embrace with heart and hand a Brexit that enables the United Kingdom to be free from the shackles of Brussels and which allows our country to walk onto the platform of World Trade.‘ #NoDealNoProblem

Great to see @labourleave & @GlobalBritain teaming up to provide some balance, dispel myths & present a rational argument in favour of WTO Deal thanks to @LilleyPeter & @BrendanChilton

07.01.2019 - 20:18 [ Spiked ]

Why we should leave the EU on WTO terms – Labour must now make the case for a clean Brexit.

Innovation and opportunity would be the prizes awarded to a future Labour government operating on World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules.

Prime minister Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement is a shabby and unpalatable settlement that Labour is right to oppose. WTO terms are far more preferable to Labour voters and to the country as a whole.

There is no majority in Parliament to support no deal. Why won‘t the Government face up to this truth and stop wasting our time and our money?

Noch nÀher an den Konflikten

Mit der AnkĂŒndigung neuer weltpolitischer VorstĂ¶ĂŸe und dem Aufruf, vor „schwierigen Entscheidungen“ im Kontext globaler Konflikte nicht zurĂŒckzuschrecken, ist die Bundesregierung ins neue Jahr gestartet. Berlin mĂŒsse „Verantwortung“ ĂŒbernehmen und „globale Lösungen“ anstreben, erklĂ€rt Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel. Außenminister Heiko Maas sieht Deutschland durch seine zweijĂ€hrige Mitgliedschaft im UN-Sicherheitsrat, die am 1. Januar begonnen hat, „noch nĂ€her an die Krisen und Konflikte“ der Gegenwart heranrĂŒcken. Berlin sucht seine PrĂ€senz in dem Gremium zu nutzen, um die Formierung der EU-Außenpolitik zu forcieren und Paris zur Unterordnung unter gemeinsame, als „europĂ€isch“ bezeichnete AktivitĂ€ten zu veranlassen. Aus der evangelischen Kirche werden einstweilen Rufe nach einer Ausweitung der BundeswehreinsĂ€tze laut.

Give Up the Ghost: A Backdoor by Another Name

(4.1.2018) Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ,) the UK’s counterpart to the National Security Agency (NSA), has fired the latest shot in the crypto wars. In a post to Lawfare titled Principles for a More Informed Exceptional Access Debate, two of Britain’s top spooks introduced what they’re framing as a kinder, gentler approach to compromising the encryption that keeps us safe online. This new proposal from GCHQ—which we’ve heard rumors of for nearly a year—eschews one discredited method for breaking encryption (key escrow) and instead adopts a novel approach referred to as the “ghost.”

Top British Intelligence Agency, GCHQ, Recognizes EC-Council’s Certified Ethical Hacker and Certified Security Analyst Training Programs

(21.8.2018) In a showcase of trust and confidence, GCHQ provided the GCT (GCHQ Certified Training) accreditation to EC-Council’s globally renowned Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) and Certified Security Analyst (ECSA) programs. This recognition is a feather in the cap for EC-Council’s much sought-after credentials, which are among the most comprehensive programs in the field of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing.

Many intelligence agencies including the Pentagon, FBI, the US Army, and most Fortune 500 companies prefer the C|EH program to enhance the knowledge and skills of their security personnel. Over the years, more than 200,000 cyber professionals were trained and certified with what has become the standard norm for hiring authorities as well as security champions.
