„We do not have a formal imaging science team on Juno, so we have turned to the public to help us out,“ says Candice Hansen-Koharcheck, Juno co-investigator responsible for JunoCam.
The amateur astronomy community assists with planning, she explains, determining when JunoCam should photograph the planet and where. Once images are sent back to Earth, the public has access to raw data, which, with a little photo editing know-how, have been processed into some of the most stunning images yet seen of Jupiter.

Rivals worry Sanders building ‚insurmountable‘ Super Tuesday lead
Over the past week, Sanders drew about 50,000 people to rallies in North Carolina, Texas, Colorado, California and Washington, punctuated by a massive event in Tacoma, Wash., which drew 17,000 people.
Sanders has opened up polling leads in California and Texas, the two biggest states to vote on March 3, and his small-dollar fundraising apparatus is steamrolling the competition.

Venezuela: Internationale Unterstützung von Guaidó scheint zu bröckeln
Trump hatte vor wenigen Wochen noch Guaidó zu seiner Rede zur Lage der Nation vor dem Kongress eingeladen und dabei weitere Unterstützung für ihn zugesagt. Es stellt sich aber seit Längerem schon die Frage, wie viel davon in der Realität noch übrig ist, nachdem es Guaidó nach nun bereits mehr als einem Jahr nicht vermocht hat, tatsächliche Macht an sich zu ziehen.
Leaked Reports Show EU Police Are Planning a Pan-European Network of Facial Recognition Databases
According to leaked internal European Union documents, the EU could soon be creating a network of national police facial recognition databases. A report drawn up by the national police forces of 10 EU member states, led by Austria, calls for the introduction of EU legislation to introduce and interconnect such databases in every member state. The report, which The Intercept obtained from a European official who is concerned about the network’s development, was circulated among EU and national officials in November 2019. If previous data-sharing arrangements are a guide, the new facial recognition network will likely be connected to similar databases in the U.S., creating what privacy researchers are calling a massive transatlantic consolidation of biometric data.
Turkey, US protect Al Qaeda in Idlib and worsen Syria’s suffering
Idlib is facing a humanitarian disaster as hundreds of thousands flee a Syrian and Russian military campaign to retake the province from militant rule. Overlooked in Western coverage of the crisis is that Idlib is mostly controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a rebranded affiliate of Al-Qaeda — and that Turkey, with U.S. backing, has intervened to keep the extremist group in place.
Guest: Scott Ritter, former UN Weapons Inspector and Marine Corps Intelligence Officer.

The Myth Of The Moderate Democrat: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix
There is no such thing as a moderate mainstream centrist. There is nothing moderate about an ideology of endless mass military slaughter abroad and ever-tightening authoritarianism and economic exploitation at home. These people are violent extremists. They’re ISIS with nukes.

Krystal Ball explains how Democrats have abandoned democratic ideals.
Nevada Democratic Party asks caucus volunteers to sign confidentiality agreements
„The wording of that agreement is very broad,“ Morrison told CNN, noting that the confidential information covered a lengthy list of business methods, practices and other information. „If I were to quote disparage the party or talk to the media without their permission, they could sue me for everything I own.“
Morrison feels the media needs to know what is happening.
As predicted, they are now using Russiagate to sink Bernie, which is why it was always horrible strategy for Bernie to validate it instead of debunking it. Even in this clip he props up bogus CIA talking points WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING that they are weaponizing it against him. WTF?!?
As I said in 2017 when few would listen, Russiagate would ultimately be used as a weapon against the left. This phony story spun out by the intelligence services proves my point. The tragedy is that Bernie has echoed Russia hysteria in a futile bid to mollify malign IC forces.
Apparent US Intel Meddling in US Election With ‘Report’ Russia is Aiding Sanders

Hauptmann: Erkenne meine CDU nicht wieder
MDR-Ticker 22.2.2020
„Ich erkenne meine CDU Thüringen derzeit nicht wieder“, twitterte der Politiker. Er werde auf keinen Fall akzeptieren, dass sich Kollegen im Landtag über einen Parteitagsbeschluss der CDU hinwegsetzen, um aus Eigeninteresse die DNA, die Glaubwürdigkeit und die Reputation der CDU infrage zu stellen.
The myth that „nobody likes“ Senator Sanders—and that America is afraid of his Democratic socialist agenda—has got to stop. Voters are not „nobody.“ The only Dems who believe this myth are pols & pundits afraid of losing their place in the power hierarchy of the status quo.
The people who are actually Interfering In Our Elections is the US intelligence community – the CIA and friends – strategically leaking bullshit on the eve of critical elections to sway the vote against the candidates they hate. That’s illegal. And dangerously anti-democratic:
10 ways the Democratic primary has been rigged from the start
(30.03.2016)
It’s not over. Far from it. The economic and political establishment, which includes the Democratic National Committee, its Wall Street and corporate backers and the major media—most of it now owned by a half dozen big corporations—have worked feverishly to turn the Democratic primary process into a coronation for Hillary Clinton.

The Memo: Chaos deepens among Democrats after Bloomberg‘s misfire
The party’s moderate vote is splintered among several candidates while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a democratic socialist, advances toward the nomination.
Bloomberg’s misfire means that dynamic won’t change anytime soon.
The centrists contend Sanders is too risky a candidate to run against President Trump in November — an assertion that is, of course, vigorously disputed by his supporters.
German Voters Get First Chance to Weigh In on Political Chaos
Germany’s political establishment was rocked earlier this month after the CDU’s chapter in Thuringia cast its lot in with the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany, or AfD, to install the eastern state’s premier. The fallout sent shockwaves across the nation and was the main catalyst for Kramp-Karrenbauer’s resignation.
To add to the sense of chaos, tensions around extremist activity in Germany intensified late Wednesday, when an assailant killed 11 people, including himself, in the city of Hanau near Frankfurt.
