The US needs to stop using our military for regime change & stop intervening in Venezuela’s military. Throughout history, US-led regime change has been waged in the name of humanitarianism, but has resulted in more suffering, destruction & lives lost. #HandsOffVenezuela

Westliche Medien im Schulterschluss für billigen Trump/Rubio PR-Stunt gegen Venezuela
Die jetzt völlig offenkundigen Bemühungen der Trump-Administration, den venezolanischen Präsidenten Nicolás Maduro zu stürzen, hatten diese Woche Erfolg mit ihrer Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, da die großen westlichen Medien einheitlich ihre vereinfachte, vorgefertigte Behauptung widerhallen ließen, dass die venezolanische Regierung herzlos ausländische Hilfe zurückhält:
Western Media Fall in Lockstep for Cheap Trump/Rubio Venezuela Aid PR Stunt
The Trump administration’s now completely overt effort to overthrow Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro had a very successful public relations effort this week, as major Western media outlets uniformly echoed its simplistic, pre-packaged claim that the Venezuelan government was heartlessly withholding foreign aid:
Vor den Wahlen hat die #spd alles im Angebot. Gerechtigkeit, soziales Gewissen usw.. Fehlt nur noch Freibier für alle. Glaubt dieser #spd kein Wort!
Anerkennung von Venezuelas Gegenpräsidenten durch deutsche Bundesregierung rechtswidrig?
In der laufenden Debatte um den venezolanischen Gegenpräsidenten Juan Guaidó hat der Wissenschaftliche Dienst des Bundestages die Anerkennung des Oppositionspolitikers durch die Bundesregierung und weitere westliche Staaten in Frage gestellt. Es gebe „starke Gründe“ für die Annahme, dass es sich bei der Anerkennung Guaidós um eine „Einmischung in innere Angelegenheiten“ handelt, heißt es in einer zehnseitigen Ausarbeitung der Bundestagsjuristen, über die heute zuerst die Nachrichtenagentur dpa berichtete und die auch amerika21 vorliegt.
I gave the US trucks and ammunition to Al Qaeda‘: The chaotic US effort to arm Syrian rebels
(15.5.2018) A second Obama administration program, „Timber Sycamore,“ was started by the CIA in late 2012 with the similar aim of arming rebels. This particular operation was active along the Turkish border to Syria‘s north, and a Jordanian crossing in the south, referred to as the “Southern Front.”
But Syrian opposition figures say this program was also compromised, with arms falling into the hands of ISIS or Al Nusra.
The program initially supplied light weapons. But as the Syrian civil war intensified, the U.S. strengthened its commitment by providing selected rebels with American “tune-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided” antitank missiles, better known as BGM-71 TOWs.
Sold to an ally, lost to an enemy
(6.2.2019) The US shipped weapons and secrets to the Saudis and Emiratis. Now, some are in the hands of fighters linked to al Qaeda and Iran.
THE C.I.A. AND LUMUMBA
(2. Aug 1981) Others, including the C.I.A.‘s critics, warn that if these restraints are loosened, the United States may well find itself slipping back to the situation that prevailed in the 1960‘s, when the agency was virtually unbridled, when assassination of inconvenient foreign political figures was an acceptable technique, and when top officials cultivated a deliberate fuzziness that obscured the line of command from the President to the Director of Central Intelligence and on down to the operatives in the field. These critics fear that if the C.I.A. is given too much leeway in the means it employs, it may once again be tempted to interpret a President‘s wishes in a way that will damage the good name and long-range interests of the United States.
President John F. Kennedy hears of Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba‘s murder from UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson.
Perhaps no photo from the Kennedy presidency summarises who Kennedy was, and how he differed from what preceded him and what came after him, than this picture.
President ‚ordered murder‘ of Congo leader
(10. Aug 2000) The evidence comes in a previously unpublished 1975 interview with the minute-taker at an August 1960 White House meeting of Eisenhower and his national security advisers on the Congo crisis.
The minute-taker, Robert Johnson, said in the interview that he vividly recalled the president turning to Allen Dulles, director of the CIA, „in the full hearing of all those in attendance, and saying something to the effect that Lumumba should be eliminated“.
Mr Johnson recalled: „There was stunned silence for about 15 seconds and the meeting continued.“
CIA and MI5 linked to Hammarskjöld death
(28. Aug 1998) The documents, found by a truth commission researcher investigating an apparently unrelated matter, implicate then CIA chief Allen Dulles in Operation Celeste. They also claim that the explosives used for the bomb that downed the aircraft were supplied by a Belgian mining conglomerate, Union Miniere. The company had extensive interests in copper-rich Katanga, and is known to have backed to Tshombe‘s use of mercenaries, including the group led by South Africa‘s Colonel „Mad Mike“ Hoare.
The most damning report refers to a meeting between MI5, Special Operations Executive, the CIA and the SAIMR at which it was recorded that Dulles „agrees … Dag is becoming troublesome and … should be removed“.

Der Fall Hammarskjöld (1/3)
(8.2.2019) Am letzten Januarwochenende hatte beim Sundance Film Festival der Dokumentarfilm “Cold Case Hammarskjöld” von Mads Brügger und Andreas Rocksen Premiere. Die beiden Filmemacher recherchierten über den mysteriösen Flugzeugabsturz, bei dem der UN-Generalsekretär Dag Hammarskjöld 1961 in Afrika ums Leben kam. Dabei stießen sie auf sensationelle Informationen, bei denen die geheime Miliz SAIMR eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Ihre Blutspur zieht sich durch den ganzen afrikanischen Kontinent. Der britische Guardian berichtet in mehreren Artikeln darüber, die wir hier in deutscher Übersetzung von Josefa Zimmermann wiedergeben.
Cold Case Hammarskjöld – Official Trailer (HD)
In 1961, United Nations‘ secretary-general Dag Hammarskjöld’s plane mysteriously crashed, killing Hammarskjöld and most of the crew. It’s understood that because Hammarskjöld was, at the time, advocating for Congo’s independence (against the wishes of European mining companies and other powerful entities), the “crash” was an assassination. With the case still unsolved 50-plus years later, Danish journalist, filmmaker, and provocateur Mads Brügger (The Red Chapel, The Ambassador) leads us down an investigative rabbit hole to unearth the truth. He, his Swedish private-investigator sidekick, and a host of co-conspirators tirelessly pursue a winding trail of clues, but they turn up more mysteries than revelations. Scores of false starts, dead ends, and elusive interviews later, they begin to sniff out something more monumental than anything they’d initially imagined.
Dear Remainers, We voted to leave. We did not vote to be members of the Single Market, EEA or the Customs Union. The Brexit vote was not a “Right Wing” vote. It was a vote against the devil take the hindmost economic system that the EU keeps us locked in. Cheers, 52% #Lexit

DOWN TO THE WIRE: Theresa May plans to clinch Brexit deal just 72 hours before March 29 with a `tight landing zone` for vote to avoid No Deal
Former government chief whip Mark Harper said: “The most likely date for a meaningful vote on a revised withdrawal agreement could well be as late as Tuesday March 26 – just three days before we are formally scheduled to leave the EU.
“To give the Prime Minister a fighting chance to secure the necessary changes to the withdrawal agreement to get Parliament’s approval, MPs will have to hold their nerve right up to the wire.”
Theresa May to urge MPs to give her more time to seek Brexit concessions
This week the Prime Minister is expected to pledge to MPs that she will return to the Commons later this month to update MPs on her plans and give them an opportunity to vote on what should happen next.
The move is intended to buy time to continue negotiating with EU leaders, who have so far refused to make any changes to the Withdrawal Agreement, after it was rejected by the Commons in its current form.

Könnten Datenbrillen das Smartphone ersetzen?
Wo die Daten landen und wer Nutzen daraus zieht, ist unkontrollierbar. Die entscheidende Frage laut Husinsky: „Werden die Leute das hinnehmen?“ Wobei er der Meinung ist, „dass die Bereitschaft, für solche Features seine Intimsphäre aufzugeben, steigen wird“. So wie es in der Vergangenheit bei den sozialen Medien der Fall war.
Many popular iPhone apps secretly record your screen without asking
Every tap, button push and keyboard entry is recorded — effectively screenshotted — and sent back to the app developers.
Or, as Glassbox said in a recent tweet: “Imagine if your website or mobile app could see exactly what your customers do in real time, and why they did it?”

Es sind etwa die Apps der Modekette Abercrombie & Fitch, Hotels.com oder verschiedener Airlines, die eine Funktion namens „Session Replay“ mitbringen.

US Blockade on Venezuela Has Cost US$350 Billion: Report
The U.S. government led by Donald Trump is arguing in favor of military intervention in Venezuela, to allegedly end a so-called „humanitarian crisis,“ but the „alleged humanitarian crisis and the migration of hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans have their origin in the economic boycott of the United States and its allies.“
According to the researchers, the U.S. generated a crisis that would serve as an excuse for military intervention in Venezuela. „The US government justifies an eventual intervention, based in the alleged humanitarian catastrophe and in the massive emigration that its blockade, precisely, would have created.“
