Ihr solltet wirklich mehr unsere Nachrichtenagentur lesen
Denn nicht vergessen: Wissen ist Macht.
Wer es immer noch nicht weiß:
– Die Nachrichtenagentur Radio Utopie startete im November 2010. Ihr datiertes und durchsuchbares Archiv ist mittlerweile auf über 182.000 per Hand eingestellte Einträge angewachsen.
Neues aus dem Fernsehrat (37): Wir müssen endlich über Archive reden
Es war schon immer falsch, die Bedeutung von Archiven für Medien und demokratische Öffentlichkeit zu unterschätzen, aber im digitalen Zeitalter ist es fatal. Denn online sind fast alle Inhalte Archivinhalte. Ein Plädoyer für mehr Investitionen in Archive und deren Öffnung.
Die Verlegerverleger: Google, Apple und Facebook wollen die Paywall kapern
Google hat einen entscheidenden Vorteil: Der Datenkonzern hat die besseren Beziehungen zu Verlagen, die zugleich seine Klienten und Konkurrenten sind. Seit 2015 finanziert Google journalistische Innovationsprojekte mit Millionenbeträgen und bietet den Verlagen nützliche Dienste – von Google Analytics bis zum AMP-Standard, der schnelleres Laden von Inhalten ermöglicht. Der Konzern hat die großen Presseverlage dadurch zu Partnern erzogen.
Der Einstieg von Google, Apple und Facebook ins Abo-Geschäft wird das Machtgefälle zwischen Digitalkonzernen und Nachrichtenmedien ohne Frage verstärken.

The logic of Bernie Sanders’s continuing war against Clintonworld
Over the weekend, Sanders sent the Center of American Progress — a powerful Democratic think tank that’s closely aligned with the Clintons — a scathing letter, hitting several negative articles and videos published by the group’s media arm, ThinkProgress, that he says will make it easier for President Trump to win in 2020.
“I and other Democratic candidates are running campaigns based on principles and ideas and not engaging in mudslinging or personal attacks on each other,” Sanders wrote in the letter, first obtained by the New York Times.

CIA Declassified Info: Europe Wanted Own „Operation Condor“
Declassified information from the United States government shows that European governments during the 1970s wanted to learn how to conduct their own ‘Operation Condor’ from South American dictators who were systematically torturing and killing dissidents in the region.
In the documents opened to the public April 12, official statements from the United Kingdom, France, and then West Germany were looking for advice from South American dictators in mainly Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, and Chile to combat the “dangerous level (of) subversion“ from the left.

Kuba gibt Vermarktung von Lebensmitteln in drei Provinzen frei
Im Jahr 2013 begann in Havanna, Artemisa und Mayabeque ein bisher einzigartiges Experiment in der kubanischen Landwirtschftspolitik, bei dem die meisten Erzeugnisse nach Erfüllung der staatlichen Abgabequote frei gehandelt werden durften. Damit sollte die Produktion von Lebensmitteln angekurbelt werden. In den darauffolgenden Jahren nahmen Angebot und Qualität auf den Bauernmärkten spürbar zu, gleichzeitig wurde jedoch auch mehr gehortet. Horrende Preise zwangen die Regierung im Januar 2016 schließlich dazu, die Notbremse zu ziehen und das Experiment abzubrechen.
Massenhafte Reiseüberwachung: 500 neue Stellen für deutsches Fluggastdatensystem

Why Isn’t Oil-Rich Russia Helping Its Syrian “Ally” Survive The Fuel Crisis?
It’s seemingly inexplicable that one of the world’s top oil exporters and most masterful perception management practitioners wouldn’t gift its “ally” emergency fuel shipments as a humanitarian gesture or at least sell it what it needs under a deferred payment plan, especially when considering that it’s owned all of the country’s oil and gas infrastructure since last year and regularly ships large amounts of oil to the country in order to meet the huge demands of its fuel-hungry Aerospace Forces there. On top of that, Russia even sells gas to its American adversary in spite of the sanctions that its customer imposed on this industry,

Wirtschaftskrieg gegen Damaskus: Kein Öl für Syrien
Vor wenigen Tagen machte der Regierungschef zudem die USA und Ägypten dafür verantwortlich, dass die Öllieferungen aus dem Iran an Syrien seit sechs Monaten blockiert würden. Iranische Tanker mit dem Ziel Syrien seien im Suezkanal gestoppt worden.
Ägypten weist das zurück. Der Durchgang sei für jedes Schiff frei und könne nur blockiert werden, wenn die UNO eine Warnung ausspreche oder das Schiff sich falsch verhalten habe, erklärte die Suezkanalbehörde.

Is the American Psychological Association Addicted to Militarism and War?
With large segments of the American public so readily and regularly enticed by the bipartisan glorification of war and all things military, the world’s largest association of psychologists could play an important moderating and cautionary role. Unfortunately, the APA instead often acts like the “impaired professional” who is unable (or unwilling) to intervene because they too suffer from the same addiction. Here are several examples.

Entgegen der heutigen Wahrnehmung rauschte die Regierung der USA Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts keineswegs unvorbereitet in die Attentate des 11. Septembers. Im Gegenteil waren über Jahrzehnte umfangreichste, weit verzweigte „Sicherheits“-Strukturen aufgebaut worden, bereits damals in enger Symbiose mit dem „privaten“, also internationalen kommerziellen Sektor.
