Die Idee zur Kaperung des unter britischer Flagge fahrenden Tankers „Stena Impero“ durch die iranischen „Revolutionsgarden“ könnte von U.S.-Kriegslobbyist John Bolton selbst sein. Der Iran spielt mit diesem Akt der Piraterie, wieder einmal, direkt den rechtsextremen Verrückten in der internationalen Kriegslobby in die Hände, vorneweg denen in der U.S.-Regierung und in der in Israel immer noch herrschenden Gang von Benjamin Netanyahu.

Progressive Democratic lawmakers Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Presley talked with „CBS This Morning“ co-host Gayle King in their only joint network interview, speaking about President Trump‘s incendiary tweets about them and the state of their sometimes tense relationship with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
‘You don’t think that having 10,000 officers in a violent, racist group sharing rape memes of members of Congress points to any concern of a dehumanized culture?’ — @AOC pressed DHS Sec. Kevin McAleenan after he denied a dehumanized culture within Border Patrol
AOC to DHS chief: Border agents shared ‚images of my violent rape‘ in secret Facebook group
He was also asked several times about a secret Facebook group of current and former Border Patrol agents that contained more than 10,000 members and included posts mocking migrants and the deaths of children in custody and suggesting harm to Democratic lawmakers. After the group‘s existence was revealed by a ProPublica report, McAleenan announced DHS was investigating the „disturbing“ and „inexcusable“ posts.
‘They Are Human Beings’: Homeland Security Faulted for Treatment of Migrant Children
The hearing came a week after the committee released findings of an analysis of the more than 2,600 migrant children separated from their parents last year under the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy, which has since been suspended. Democrats grilled Mr. McAleenan over the rollout of the policy, as well as over the discovery of a secret Facebook group for Border Patrol agents that included offensive messages, including obscene images of members of Congress.
There’s nothing „extreme“ about raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. What’s extreme is paying workers starvation wages while CEO pay and corporate profits skyrocket. @senatemajldr stop blocking a raise for millions of Americans!
Thanks to all of our supporters who made this possible. Tune in July 31 @cnn! #TULSI2020

Trump Distances Himself From The Racist Chant He Inspired
Stephen breaks out the stopwatch after Donald Trump claims he “quickly“ cut off his MAGA rally‘s“send her back!“ chant.
Trump: Those chanting ‚send her back‘ are ‚people that love our country‘
The remarks come after Trump said earlier in the day that he had attempted to stop the chants at his Wednesday rally by moving on to another topic quickly, though he did not admonish the crowd.
Trump says he disagrees with ‚send her back‘ chant
“I was not happy with it. I disagree with it,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
Asked why he did not stop the chants, Trump responded, “I think I did. I started speaking very quickly.”
Iran says U.S. may have shot down its own drone by mistake
„We have not lost any drone in the Strait of Hormuz nor anywhere else. I am worried that USS Boxer has shot down their own UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) by mistake!,“ Iran‘s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Twitter.
Iran‘s semi-official Tasnim news agency quoted military spokesman Gen. Abolfazl Shekari as saying that „all Iranian drones that are in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, including the one which the U.S. president mentioned, after carrying out scheduled identification and control missions, have returned to their bases.“
Trump verkündet Abschuss iranischer Drohne
Aus dem Pentagon hieß es, der Vorfall habe sich am Donnerstag gegen 10 Uhr (Ortszeit) ereignet. Das US-Marineschiff USS Boxer habe sich in internationalen Gewässern befunden, als sich die Drohne genähert habe. Es befinde sich nun im Persischen Golf. Das US-Verteidigungsministerium wollte sich nicht dazu äußern, wie die Drohne zerstört worden sei.
Trump says the U.S. Navy downed an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz
A U.S. naval ship downed an Iranian drone that flew too close and ignored multiple calls to turn away, President Trump said Thursday, as tensions between the United States and Iran appeared to be rising once again in the Persian Gulf region.
Speaking at the White House, Trump said the drone came within 1,000 yards of the USS Boxer in the Strait of Hormuz before the crew “took defensive action” and “immediately destroyed” it.
Former Trump supporter stands with Dem Squad
This week he told 4 progressive Democratic members of Congress who are Women of Color to go back to their home countries. 3 of them are American born and 1 of them is a legal immigrant. I believe Congresswoman Omar is a person we can look up to us Americans because she lived the American dream. We need to stop being complicit when it comes to racism in our government and start holding some accountability.
Donald Trump Is Deliberately Distorting What Ilhan Omar Says About America
A Fox headline read: “Ilhan Omar on Trump voters: ‘Ignorance really is pervasive in many parts of this country.’” The Blaze announced, “Ilhan Omar insults Republican voters: ‘Ignorance really is pervasive in many parts of this country.’”
But what Omar was actually talking about was the way in which politicians, in this case Republican politicians, manipulate information to achieve political ends.
Just asked Omar about the chants, and she says of Trump: „I believe he is a fascist.“ Responding to Lindsey Graham, who said if she were wearing a MAGA hat Trump wouldn‘t have said ‚go back:‘ „Because I criticized the president, I should be deported?“
Home sweet home!!
„Welcome home, Ilhan!“ Crowd at Minneapolis airport cheers arrival of Rep. Omar following response to President Trump‘s racist tweets.
WELCOME BACK ILHAN: Crowd at MN airport chant support for Omar
A welcome party is gathering at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to celebrate Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar‘s return to the state following recent rhetoric by President Donald Trump.

Iron Sky und die Militarisierung des Weltalls
So ist also das Feld für ein neues Wettrüsten im All bereitet, das sich nach aktuellem Stand auch jeder vertraglichen Rüstungskontrolle weitgehend entziehen würde.
Deutsche Wehrhaftigkeit
In einem soeben erschienenen Buch fordern der ehemalige Abteilungsleiter im Waffensystemkommando der deutschen Luftwaffe, Oberst Richard Drexl, und das langjährige Mitglied im „Beirat Innere Führung“ des Bundesverteidigungsministeriums, Josef Kraus, relevanten Einfluss Berlins auf den Einsatz von Nuklearwaffen. Wolle die BRD „nicht als bloße(r) Befehlsempfänger der US-Amerikaner dastehen“, müsse die Bundesregierung eine „enge Verbindung mit einem zweitschlagsfähigen Atomwaffenstaat“ eingehen, heißt es. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, ist nach Auffassung der Autoren zunächst die Aufstellung einer deutsch-französischen „Interventionstruppe für Kriseneinsätze“ angezeigt, aus der dann eine „europäische Sicherheitsstruktur“ mit einem „breite(n) Instrumentarium“ militärischer Machtmittel erwächst – Nukleararsenal inklusive.[1]
