Der Kongress ist Trumps Mitverschwörer gegen die Freiheit
Das vielleicht abscheulichste Beispiel für die Heuchelei der Kongressgegner Trumps ist, wie viele von denen, die sich über die Sicherheit des Ukrainegate-„Whistleblowers“ sorgen, über die Mitschuld der Trump-Administration an der unmenschlichen Behandlung des WikiLeaks-Gründers Julian Assange schweigen oder diese unterstützen. Sie schweigen auch, wenn die US-Regierung Chelsea Manning wieder ins Gefängnis wirft, weil sie sich weigert, der Verfolgung von Herrn Assange durch die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika zu helfen.
‚Thank You For Rescuing Me‘: Watch Once-Suicidal Veteran Offer Sanders His Flight Jacket During Heartfelt Exchange
Naval Air Force veteran John Weigel, who considered suicide because of $139,000 in medical debt, offered Sen. Bernie Sanders his brown leather flight jacket on Monday to thank the Democratic presidential candidate for his help regaining health insurance and raising funds to cover medical bills.
„Thank you for rescuing me,“ Weigel, a 58-year-old who lives with Huntington‘s disease, told Sanders (I-Vt.) at a campaign rally in Carson City, Nevada.
When I met John, a veteran, a few months ago, he had $139,000 in medical debt. Thankfully today he is doing much better. We must eliminate all medical debt—and when our veterans come home, they must receive the best quality health care this country can provide them.

General Election 2019: Jeremy Corbyn victory would bring ‚Hamas-backing, IRA-supporting‘ prime minister, says Boris Johnson

US-Folterprogramm: „Die CIA wusste, dass er nichts weiß“
ARD: Sie versuchen, ihn frei zu bekommen. Worauf hoffen Sie?
Denbeaux: Deutschland.
ARD: Deutschland hat noch nicht mal einen eigenen Mann freiwillig zurückgenommen.
Denbeaux: Ich weiß, aber ihr könnt besser werden. Er wird nie rauskommen, wenn nicht alle besser werden. Es ist die Schuld der Vereinigten Staaten, denn sie halten wissentlich einen Menschen gefangen, der nie ein Verbrechen begangen hat. Sie wussten immer, dass er kein Verbrechen begangen hat und haben ihn trotzdem gefoltert. Sie wussten immer, dass er nichts weiß.
Gefoltert, eingesperrt, fast vergessen
Abu Zabayda wurde niemals vor Gericht gestellt, es gibt keine Anklage gegen ihn.
Das Justizministerium und das Weiße Haus genehmigten die Folter. Darauf hatte die CIA beharrt, um Straffreiheit für ihre eigenen Leute zu erzielen. Man ließ sich sogar schriftlich bestätigen, dass Abu Zabaydah niemals freigelassen wird. Im Falle seines Todes sollte er verbrannt und „heimlich entsorgt“ werden.
The Afghanistan Papers – A secret history of the war: Stranded without a strategy
By March 2007, the number of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan had climbed to 50,000. Despite the increase, McNeill said nobody in charge was able to articulate a clear mission and strategy.
“I tried to get someone to define for me what winning meant, even before I went over, and nobody could. Nobody would give me a good definition of what it meant,” he told government interviewers.
Poll: Joint List Would Remain 3rd Largest Faction in the 23rd Knesset
According to the poll, if elections were held today, Blue & White would lead the field winning 34 seats in the 120 Knesset, with the Likud just behind it with 33 seats.

Arab party reconsiders support of Gantz over Jordan Valley annexation
Jabareen added that if that is the case, Gantz and his faction will not be able to count on the support of the Joint List — an option seriously discussed following the September elections. “There was talk all along the way of our external support to enable the formation of a different kind of government, but this will not happen given the annexation intention and masquerading as Likud II,” Jabareen said.
He reminded us that the Joint List — the Knesset’s third-largest faction — wields significant power both in the domestic political arena and in the international one.
Legal advisers said to warn PM annexation would lead to ICC investigation
Officials in attorney general’s office reportedly say that if Netanyahu extends sovereignty over Jordan Valley, settler leaders and IDF officers could be probed
Blue & White chief: Netanyahu is all talk about annexation, but we‘ll do it
In his remarks made at a conference in Jerusalem, Gantz said that Netanyahu turned the annexation of the West Bank — a highly contentious issue — into a talking point, but did little for the people living there.
Blue and White, he said, would be just the opposite – the plans for annexing the Jordan Valley, set to be Israel‘s ‚eastern wall‘, are ready, and standing at the helm the party will implement them.
Gantz Took Netanyahu‘s Favorite Trick — and Used It Against Him
When the Kahol Lavan leader presented wavering immunity to Netanyahu as a condition to forming a unity government, he hit the accused from Balfour Street in his soft underbelly

Watchdog report finds FBI not motivated by political bias in Trump probe
The report, however, sharply criticizes the FBI over its handling of applications to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, providing fodder for Trump and his Republican allies while at the same time undercutting a key GOP talking point that agents driven by bias improperly targeted then-candidate Trump.
The findings released by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz set the stage for a partisan showdown on Capitol Hill, where he is slated to testify publicly Wednesday to answer questions from a Senate panel about the inquiry into the FBI’s Russia probe.
