Verfassungsbeschwerde gegen Polizeigesetz NRW: Grundsatzurteil zu TKÜ möglich; PK am 30.10.2019, 11 Uhr
Weitreichende präventive Überwachung von Kommunikation
Die Verschärfung des NRW-Polizeigesetzes ermöglicht weitreichende Telekommunikationsüberwachung sowie Quellen- Telekommunikationsüberwachung mit Staatstrojanern. Gleichzeitig wird die Polizeiarbeit weit ins Vorfeld einer konkreten Gefahr gerückt. Nach Einschätzung von Digitalcourage ist die Regelung zu unbestimmt – für Bürgerinnen und Bürger ebenso wie für die Polizei, die das Recht in der Praxis anwenden soll. Laut Digitalcourage schränkt der präventive Einsatz invasiver Überwachungsmaßnahmen die Grundrechte der Menschen in NRW unverhältnismäßig ein:

“This charge is a 100 percent false, fabricated, bogus, untrue, and malicious lie,” Blumenthal declared. “It is clearly part of a campaign of political persecution designed to silence me and the The Grayzone for our factual journalism exposing the deceptions, corruption and violence of the far-right Venezuelan opposition.”
The arrest warrant was five months old. According to an individual familiar with the case, the warrant for Blumenthal’s arrest was initially rejected. Strangely, this false charge was revived months later without the defendant’s knowledge.

The absurdity of Labour’s enthusiasm for the European project
Instead of growing the economy by state backing and export-led growth as competitors have done, we’re left behind clinging to a protectionist bloc designed to protect French agriculture and German manufacturing at our expense.
We want to stay in the Single Market but ignore the fact that we’re running a £100 billion trade deficit in goods with it. That means the export of jobs, money and economic demand primarily to Germany.
