Sen. Mark Kelly: Trump and Hegseth don‘t ‚understand the Constitution‘

On Monday, the Pentagon announced an investigation into Kelly, a retired U.S. Navy fighter pilot, for possible violations of military law for appearing in the video. The video was published as legal questions swirl around the Trump administration‘s deployment of National Guard troops to U.S. cities.

While the White House has since walked back the president‘s remarks calling the Senators‘ video „seditious behavior, punishable by DEATH,“ Kelly told All Things Considered he thinks President Trump is „declaring that loyalty to the Constitution is punishable by death.“

Daniel Neun – Der Fels

(audio)

lyrics:

Inmitten des Kosmos
am Meer aus Zeit
hier stehe ich am Abhang und
erstreckt sich weit
zum Horizont
ich seh es glühn
Zeit meinen Weg zu gehn
zu tun was ich muss
denn wisset – ich bin Sisyphos.

An der Sonne entlang
hinauf den Hang
tausend Gemälde ohne Vergleich
und aus den Tiefen steigt
der Mond und zeichnet weich
Geometrie ins Firmament

Geometrie
ins Firmament

roll ich den Fels hinauf den Hang
bin schon fast hinüber
tausend Leben lang
war ich Verdammter dieser Erde
dort wo mein Platz ist
dort wo der Fels rollt
Rollt
Mein Platz ist dort wo der Fels rollt
Dort
Dort wo mein Platz ist
dort wo der Fels rollt

Ich wollt Du könntest sehn
Deine Welt sie ist so schön
Mitten im Nichts zu sein

So viele Sterne sind
im Äther ziehn dahin
ich muss nicht mehr wie einer sein
Nicht mehr wie Einer sein

der rollt den Fels hinauf den Hang
bin schon fast hinüber
tausend Leben lang
war ich Verdammter dieser Erde
dort wo mein Platz ist wo der Fels rollt
Rollt
war ich Verdammter dieser Erde
Mein Platz ist dort wo der Fels rollt
Dort
war ich Verdammter dieser Erde
dort wo mein Platz ist wo der Fels rollt

Du willst mich kaufen
Du willst mein Herz
Was bietest Du
nur ein bisschen Erz.
Erdling, was kannst Du mir geben
Ich bin verdammt nochmal
am Leben

Den Kopf in den Sternen hab ich´s geschafft
Dir zum Zeichen werf ich sie
hinab
den Hang
die Erde bebt
sieh wer nun dort oben steht
Erdling, werde was Du bist
weil Du sonst nie am Leben bist
und das ist es doch wert, Mensch
Das ist doch wert, Mensch
Du bist es doch wert, Mensch
Du bist es wert

Mensch.

Und das ist es mir wert, Mensch
Und das ist es mir wert

A single shot: What horrifying videos reveal about killing of Charlie Kirk

(September 10, 2025)

A source familiar with the investigation told The Times that a bullet struck Kirk’s carotid artery.

(,..)

The gunman is believed to have killed Kirk from at least 200 yards away using some type of sniper rifle, law enforcement sources told The Times.

(…)

Witness Seth Teasdale told the Salt Lake Tribune that the gunshot was so loud it echoed across the pavilion where Kirk was speaking.

Brynlee Holms told the Tribune the shot was “super loud,” which added to the panic in the crowd.

“I just heard a clear shot, ‘Boom!’ And that was it,” another witness told KUTV.

Passive Funksender: WLAN fast ohne Strom

(March 3, 2016)

Passive Funksender sind keine neue Idee. Schon 1945 wurde die US-Botschaft mit einem passiven Mikrophonsender abgehört, der keine eigene Stromquelle brauchte. Die Energie für das Signal wird von einem anderen Sender bereitgestellt, der passive Funksender muss dieses vorhandene Signal nur noch so verändern, dass es die gewünschte Information trägt.

The Thing (listening device)

The Thing, also known as the Great Seal bug, was one of the first covert listening devices (or „bugs“) to use passive techniques to transmit an audio signal. It was concealed inside a gift given by the Soviet Union to W. Averell Harriman, the United States Ambassador to the Soviet Union, on August 4, 1945. Because it was passive, needing electromagnetic energy from an outside source to become energized and activate, it is considered a predecessor of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.

The Israel lobby is working overtime right now trying to destroy the anti-war team that Trump has assembled. We‘ve learned that former Israeli Mossad agents are working overtime on both social media and behind the scenes trying to discredit Pete Hegseth. Neo Con Mike Waltz has now hired a dual citizen and former IDF official to work under him. And three anti-war DoD officials were just fired.

Audible enclaves crafted by nonlinear self-bending ultrasonic beams

(March 17, 2025)

Here, we introduce an approach for creating remote audio spots, dubbed audible enclaves, by harnessing the local nonlinear interaction of two self-bending ultrasonic beams with distinct spectra. The self-bending ultrasonic beams created by acoustic metasurfaces, though inaudible, can bypass obstacles such as human heads.

A new technique sends sound to a specific person without the surrounding people hearing it

(today)

Telecommunications engineer Juan Miguel Navarro, from the Catholic University of Murcia in Spain, collaborated with Yun Ling over a decade ago on acoustic simulations for large venues. Navarro notes that sound focusing has been used for over 20 years in security applications, such as long-range acoustic devices, considered non-lethal weapons because they emit painful sounds that incapacitate the enemy.

Digitaler Kolonialismus

Die globalen Machtverhältnisse ähneln dabei denen, die schon vor Hunderten von Jahren gegolten haben. Die Zeiten in denen die Reichen und Mächtigen das Lineal an die Landkarte ansetzen und die Welt unter sich aufteilen ist zwar vorbei. Aber an ihre Stelle sind neue Machthaber getreten. Die reichsten Firmen aus dem Globalen Norden gewinnen Profit und Macht auf Kosten des Globalen Südens – ähnlich wie im Kolonialismus, der nur scheinbar hinter uns liegt. Große Tech-Unternehmen wie Google und Meta kontrollieren sogar die Infrastruktur und den Zugang zum Internet – bauen Unterseekabel rund um den afrikanischen Kontinent.

Human Rights Expert Sounds Alarm Over Israeli Firm‘s ‚Dystopian‘ Video-Altering Tech

(December 27, 2022)

Haaretz continued:

Twenty years on, this is no longer the stuff of movies: Toka‘s tech allows clients to do just that and more—not just diverting a live feed but also altering old feeds and erasing any evidence of a covert op.
Technical documents reviewed by an ethical hacker prove that Toka‘s tech can alter both live and recorded video feeds—all without leaving any forensics or telltale signs of a hack (in contrast to NSO‘s Pegasus spyware, or Intellexa‘s Predator, which leave a digital fingerprint on targeted devices).

Co-founded by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) cyber chief Yaron Rosen, Toka “sells technologies that allow clients to locate security cameras or even webcams within a given perimeter, hack into them, watch their live feed, and even alter it — and past recordings,” Haaretz reported, citing internal documents it obtained and reviewed with a technical expert.

The company, whose activities are overseen by the Israeli Defense Ministry, “was set up in 2018 and has offices in Tel Aviv and Washington,” Haaretz reported.

The message is even more important in the face of the continued violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, the Assembly President continued.

The “horrendous war” has unleashed untold suffering in the country, with fallout across the globe, affecting food security and energy prices, and even raised “the unconscionable threat” of nuclear war.

“We must not relent in working for peace – a just peace in line with the UN Charter and international law. And even while fighting rages, we must pursue every avenue to ease the suffering of civilians in Ukraine and beyond,” he added.
