Pressefreiheit in Brasilien bedroht – Greenwald unter Druck
Ausführlich schildert der mutmaßliche Hacker, wen er wann anzapfte und, wie er Kontakt mit Greenwald aufgenommen habe. Bolsonaros Attacke hat auch die Interamerikanische Menschenrechtskommission auf den Plan gerufen. „Leider scheint der brasilianische Präsident die Verfassung seines Landes und die internationalen Verträge über die Meinungsfreiheit, die Brasilien unterzeichnet hat, vergessen zu haben“, kommentierte dessen Sonderberichterstatter für Meinungsfreiheit, Edson Lanza. Man werde die Entwicklung weiter beobachten, so der Sonderberichterstatter der zur Organisation Amerikanischer Staaten (OAS) gehörigen Kommission.
Bundeswehrstandorte: Noch Bedarf vorhanden
In einer Pressemitteilung mit dem treffenden Titel »Eine wachsende Bundeswehr braucht Platz« kündigte die Bundeswehr an, acht Munitions- und Materiallager wieder in Betrieb zu nehmen. Nun folgen – nur etwas mehr als ein halbes Jahr später – weitere elf Liegenschaften, die sich die Bundeswehr erneut aneignet. Das ist für viele betroffene Gemeinden ein ziemlicher Schlag, da sie zum Teil bereits konkrete Pläne für eine Konversion, also eine zivile Umnutzung, der Areale hatten.

How ‘the Squad’ learned to handle Trump’s attacks
Amid the Squad mania over the past few weeks, aides said they had rejected pitches for photo shoots from two fashion magazines.

DKP zur Kündigung des INF-Vertrages
Was nun passiert, ist eine neue Qualität der Kriegstreiberei durch die USA mit Unterstützung der NATO-Staaten, darunter auch der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Es droht die Entwicklung und Stationierung von Mittelstreckenraketen in Europa, gerichtet gegen Russland, dies beinhaltet die Gefahr das Europa zum atomaren Schlachtfeld wird. Es droht der Versuch der USA, landgestützte atomare Mittelstreckenraketen gegen China in Stellung zu bringen. Es droht die Zerstörung weiterer Verträge, die in der Vergangenheit ungezügelte Hochrüstung eindämmten. Dieser Vorgang beweist ein weiteres Mal, wer die Kriegsgefahr befeuert, es sind die USA und ihre NATO-Verbündeten.

US-Demokraten mit Klage gegen Julian Assange gescheitert: Medien schweigen zum Gerichtsurteil gegen DNC
Richter John Koeltl vom US Bezirksgericht New York-Süd wies die Verleumdung, der WikiLeaks-Gründer habe mit Russland „konspiriert“, ausdrücklich zurück. Diese Entscheidung stellt Assanges Ruf als Journalisten und Herausgeber wieder her und widerlegt die Behauptung, die Veröffentlichung von durchgesickerten E-Mails der DNC durch WikiLeaks im Jahr 2016 sei ein illegaler Akt gewesen.
Trotz der Bedeutung dieses Urteils und seiner klaren Aussagekraft hat die gesamte Medienwelt in den USA und weltweit die Entscheidung fast vollkommen ausgeblendet.
Das allgemeine Schweigen über die Gerichtsentscheidung reicht von der New York Times (die gerade mal sechs Absätze auf Seite 25 darüber brachte), der Washington Post und den Abendnachrichtensendungen im Fernsehen bis hin zu den „alternativen“ Websites wie „Intercept“ und den Veröffentlichungen der Pseudolinken.

Likud Plans to Spend $570,000 to Spy Again on Arab Polling Stations
Now, according to a report broadcast by Channel 13 news, the Likud plans to double its budget for a repeat campaign, spending two million shekels (approximately $570,000) to install cameras in Arab polling stations. The campaign will once again be headed up by Kaizler Inbar, and will be accompanied by increased police presence to monitor Arab voters.
Israel’s Central Election Committee – which oversees the state’s election process – will reportedly meet later this week to discuss the Likud’s program. The Channel 13 news report told how the Likud party plans to ask Supreme Court Judge Hanan Melcer, head of the elections committee, to “detail in writing what their poll watchers can and cannot do with the surveillance cameras”.
Likud doubles budget for program placing hidden cameras in Arab polling stations
The operation is set to be run again by the Kaizler-Inbar communications firm, the source said.

U.S. Ends Cold War Missile Treaty, With Aim of Countering China
But the new missiles are unlikely to be deployed to counter the treaty’s other nuclear power, Russia, which the United States has said for years was in violation of the accord. Instead, the first deployments are likely to be intended to counter China, which has amassed an imposing missile arsenal and is now seen as a much more formidable long-term strategic rival than Russia.

‘Regime change begins at home’ – Max Blumenthal speaks in Venezuelan presidential palace
I am representing, alongside my colleagues Anya Parampil and Ben Norton, an independent media organization with no formal relationship to this government or any other government.
We are here because our government, and a corporate media which acts as an arm of its foreign policy, is pursuing a dangerous and catastrophic policy of siege and regime change.
We have seen the catastrophes that this same policy has caused for Central America, for Iraq, for Libya, for Syria, and for so many people across the world, in Korea, and elsewhere. And we are here to renounce this policy.
We are here as citizens and also as journalists, to break the blockade that our government has put not only on this government, but on relations between the American people and the Venezuelan people seeking to build a new society through the Bolivarian Revolution.
