EU-Diktat und digitale ID: Deutschland auf Kurs

Im Koalitionsabkommen zwischen CDU/CSU und SPD heißt es an einer Stelle eindeutig:

„Jeder Bürger und jede Bürgerin erhält verpflichtend ein Bürgerkonto und eine digitale Identität.“

Die digitale Identität bildet die Grundlage für alle dystopischen Möglichkeiten, die die Digitalisierung bieten könnte: von Mobilitätsbeschränkungen (etwa über den Gesundheitsstatus, wie Impfungen) über Formen eines Sozialkreditsystems bis hin zu einem digitalen Zentralbankeuro, der zweckgebunden und mit Ablaufdatum versehen sein könnte.

Aber das sind selbstverständlich nur dystopische Fantasien. Niemand hat die Absicht, diese vorteilhafte Digitalisierung für Überwachung und Kontrolle zu nutzen.

Talks, not headlines will deliver results, Iran FM rejects nuclear deal hype

Araghchi emphasized that progress would not be achieved through “media narratives,” but through “serious negotiations.” He warned against disinformation campaigns aimed at sabotaging diplomacy, directly criticizing Israel for manipulating the Iran issue to target American political opponents. “Using Iran to attack American critics is low, even for Israel,” he wrote. “The path to a deal runs through the negotiating table—not the headlines.”

Iran showed the peaceful nature of its nuclear program to the world by signing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with six world powers in 2015.

The landmark deal was derailed in 2018 by the US, which unilaterally walked out of the accord and launched its so-called campaign of maximum pressure against Iran.

Israel subcontracts new starvation mechanism through US-backed contractors and collaborators

In a move universally condemned by humanitarian organisations, Israel has begun constructing a parallel regime of control and aid distribution in Gaza, outsourcing food supplies to foreign security firms and fringe local collaborators after the UN and established Palestinian institutions refused to legitimise what critics describe as a system of militarised starvation and forced displacement.

A US military contractor, Safe Reach Solutions (SRS), has signed an agreement with a little-known Palestinian company, “Three Brothers”, to run one of four Israeli-approved aid distribution hubs, the Financial Times reported. The scheme — developed under the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) — has been rejected by nearly all major aid groups, with former GHF chief Jake Wood resigning days before launch, citing ethical concerns.

Netanyahu’s Diplomacy With Putin Ensured IDF’s Successful Attack on Iran

(November 10, 2024)

Days later, Netanyahu and Putin — who have a long and, until recently, close friendship — discussed the S-400 sale as well as Russia’s involvement in Syria. The S-400 sale didn’t materialize, neither in 2020 nor to date, despite Iran’s pleadings over the subsequent years and Russia’s dependence on Iran for drones for its war with Ukraine.

Had Iran persuaded Russia to sell it the S-400, the Israel Air Force could have been hard-pressed to achieve mastery over Iran’s skies.

“A fly can’t buzz above Syria without Russian consent nowadays,” an Israeli defense official told the International Crisis Group after Russia installed and manned the S-400 in Syria, a long-standing Russian ally that Russia defends.

Zelenskyy to Turkish FM Fidan: Unfortunately, Russia doing everything to ensure next possible meeting on talks is inefficiant

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.

„We discussed diplomatic efforts – ours and those of our partners. Russia ignores all calls from the world for a ceasefire and continues the killings. In addition, the Russians have not been able to present the so-called ‚memorandum‘ for more than a week, which they promised to prepare immediately after the 1,000-for-1,000 exchange. Ukraine has not received any documents from them. Turkey has not either. In order for the meeting to be not empty, it is necessary to understand its agenda and properly prepare for the negotiations. Unfortunately, Russia is doing everything to ensure that the next possible meeting is inefficient,“ Zelenskyy said in the Telegram channel following the results of the meeting.
