Warum Daniel Hale Dankbarkeit verdient, nicht Gefängnis
„Freiheit für Daniel Hale!“
Diese Worte hingen an einem Samstagabend in der Luft, projiziert auf mehrere Gebäude in Washington, D.C., über dem Gesicht eines mutigen Whistleblowers, dem zehn Jahre Gefängnis drohen.
Die Künstler wollten die US-Öffentlichkeit über Daniel E. Hale informieren, einen ehemaligen Analysten der Air Force, der die Folgen des Drohnenkriegs an die Öffentlichkeit brachte. Hale wird am 27. Juli zur Urteilsverkündung vor Richter Liam O‘Grady erscheinen.
Neu entdeckte Eis-Eigenschaften zeigen, wie im Weltraum organische Moleküle entstehen könnten
In einer Reihe von Experimenten präparierten die Forscher zunächst einen mehrschichtigen Wassereis-„Kern“ und legten dann, bei einer Temperatur von 6 Kelvin, unterschiedlich dicke Kohlenmonoxid-Eisschichten darauf. Anschließend erwärmten sie die Probe auf 20 Kelvin und beobachteten die ganze Zeit sorgfältig die Infrarotspektren.
I ran as a Justice Democrat. Now I’m joining the People’s Party.
My name is Lisa Ring and I’m a two-time former candidate for Congress endorsed by Justice Democrats and Our Revolution. Today I’m thrilled to announce that I’m joining the People’s Party as our new development manager.
Like so many of you, I’m fed up with the two-party system and I’m here to do something about it. I believe in the power of the people to transform this country. That’s what led me to activism in my 20s, inspired me to organize the Coast of Georgia for the past seven years, and drove me to run for Congress in GA-01 against a multi-millionaire Republican incumbent. We knocked on more than 50,000 doors and won my primary in 2018. I want to bring what I’ve learned to the People’s Party.
An Ugly War Among Leftist YouTubers Shows Two Common, Toxic Pathologies Plaguing U.S. Politics
While I used my social media platforms to denounce the false accusations voiced by Uygur and Kasparian against Maté, none of this would merit an article or stand-alone commentary if not for the fact that the two weapons they chose — false accusations that someone is a paid Russian agent and exploited sexual harassment accusations — have become extremely commonplace in Democratic Party politics, liberal circles and U.S. politics more broadly. It is long past time — way past time — that these tactics be rejected and scorned by everyone regardless of ideology or personality preferences.
Nach dem Ende des Einsatzes: Streit über Zeremonie für Afghanistan-Soldaten
Die Diskussion darüber, wie still oder geräuschvoll, an welchem Ort und in welchem Rahmen die Politik den Einsatz in Afghanistan würdigen sollte, wird weitergehen.
Seventh-Century BC Artifacts Found in Lesvos Archaeological Dig
This excavation find is of special significance as it confirms the historical continuity from the Late Bronze Age of Greece (1600-1100 BC) to the so called Dark Ages (11th-9th century BC) which mark the movements of tribes such the Aeolians to the island of Lesvos.
Telephone conversation with US President Joseph Biden
(09.07.2021)
In the context of recent reports on a series of cyberattacks ostensibly made from Russian territory, Vladimir Putin noted that despite Russia’s willingness to curb criminal manifestations in the information space through a concerted effort, no inquiries on these issues have been received from US agencies in the last month. At the same time, considering the scale and seriousness of the challenges in this area, Russia and the US must maintain permanent, professional and non-politicised cooperation. This must be conducted through specialised information exchange channels between the authorised government agencies, through bilateral judicial mechanisms and while observing the provisions of international law.
Readout of President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia
(09.07.2021)
President Biden also spoke with President Putin about the ongoing ransomware attacks by criminals based in Russia that have impacted the United States and other countries around the world. President Biden underscored the need for Russia to take action to disrupt ransomware groups operating in Russia and emphasized that he is committed to continued engagement on the broader threat posed by ransomware.
EZB-Revolution Zinsen dürften länger niedrig bleiben
Für alle, die einen Kredit haben oder aufnehmen, ist das eine gute Nachricht. Für jene, die Geld angespart haben, freilich nicht. Zumindest klassisches Sparen und Veranlagen – Sparbuch oder Staatsanleihen – bleiben damit unattraktiv. Für die Staaten der Euro-Zone bleibt die Refinanzierung über Staatsanleihen dafür günstig – ein wichtiger Punkt angesichts der hohen Staatshilfen, die während der Pandemie bisher bereits flossen.
Covid-19: Wie Massenhysterie in Wohlfahrtsstaaten entsteht
Hinsichtlich der Covid-19-Krise gibt es mehrere Studien, welche die negativen psychologischen Auswirkungen von staatlich verordneten Lockdowns untersuchen (1) (2) (3) (4). Es gibt auch Studien, die den Beitrag digitaler Medien und des Internets zu Angst (5) (6), emotionaler Ansteckung (7) (8), Angstübertragungen (9) (10) und Nocebo-Effekten (11) (12) untersuchen. Nach unserem Wissen gibt es jedoch keine Studie, die analysiert, wie verschiedene politische Institutionen und der Staat die Entstehung und Ausbreitung von Massenhysterien beeinflussen. Das Zusammenspiel von Medien, Wissenschaft, Politik und Öffentlichkeit ist eine wesentliche Forschungslücke (13). Aufbauend auf der Psychologie im Zusammenhang mit dem Phänomen der kollektiven Panik entwickeln wir eine politische Ökonomie der Massenhysterie.
25 under-18s in England died from the CV19 between 3/20 and 2/21, or 1 in 481,000. In the same period, 124 children died from suicide and 268 died from trauma due to pandemic response. Lockdown “may prove a greater risk than… SARS-CoV-2 itself”

If Covid hadn‘t been politicised, lockdown would be over, says JUDY FINNIGAN
If the scientists are so unsure that double-jabbed bodies are protected from the worst effects of Covid, ie ICU and death, then what the hell was all the fuss about when they were invented late last year?
Covid is no longer a matter of public health. It’s been politicised. Reputations have been staked. Pompous men are using you and me as pawns. It’s like Brexit. We just want to get on with our lives but the scientists and politicians don’t seem to care about that.
Coronavirus latest news: Vaccine passport plan ‚will be fourth lockdown‘ for pubs
“You would be putting door control on every pub, bar, restaurant, coffee shop, hotel, nightclub and music venue in the country [to check certificates] and that’s simply not happening at the moment,“ she told Sky News.
“You would see high levels of business failure, high levels of business closure unless there was substantive Government support.”

Covid passports ‚WILL be compulsory in pubs‘: Ministers ‚plan to force bars, clubs and restaurants to demand proof of two jabs or negative test from autumn‘ to help tackle fourth wave of the virus
The government had decided not to enforce Covid passports now because it would discriminate against younger people who have not been able to receive their second vaccination yet, The Times reported.
There are also fears it could damage the economy with people being turned away from the struggling hospitality industry.
But ministers believe that all over 18s will have been offered both doses by September and therefore vaccine passports can be enforced in venues where social distancing is not possible.
Wieder Aus für das Nachtleben in Niederlanden
Bisher führte die Zunahme der Infektionen zwar nicht zu mehr Patienten und Patientinnen in Krankenhäusern. Die Regierung ist jedoch äußerst besorgt, dass das Land erneut den Status eines Risikogebiets bekommt und Urlaubsreisen nicht mehr möglich sind.
Hands Off Haiti!
Nonetheless, the American political and media establishments seem to blithely assume that Haiti’s internal affairs are very much America’s business. State Department spokesman Ned Price says “It is still the view of the United States that elections this year should proceed.” An “electoral timetable” proposed by Moïse was “backed by the Biden administration, though it rejected plans to hold a constitutional referendum.”
