Geheimdienstreform als Teil eines »autoritären Staatsumbaus«

Auch um August Hanning ging es am Donnerstagabend, denn der ehemalige BND-Präsident war Anfang Oktober verhaftet worden. Denn er steht unter dem Verdacht, als Pensionär einen schwunghaften Handel mit internen Daten der Behörde betrieben zu haben, die ihm sein ehemaliger Büroleiter beschafft haben soll. Dass von Ehemaligen wie ihm eine große Gefahr für die Arbeitsfähigkeit der Dienste ausgeht, war im Bundestag am Freitag kein Thema.

Fabian Kunow von der Hellen Panke verwies auf ehemalige führende Beamte von BfV und BND, die sich nach ihrem Ausscheiden aus dem Amt im rechten politischen Spektrum tummeln. Dazu gehören neben dem ehemaligen BfV-Präsidenten Hans Georg Maaßen der ehemalige Leiter des Thüringischen Verfassungsschutzes, Helmut Röwer, und der Vizepräsident des BfV, Klaus-Dieter Fritsche. Letzterer war später Berater des kurzzeitigen österreichischen Innenministers Herbert Kickl von der extrem rechten FPÖ.

Lula wins reelection in historic runoff, setting up tense political battle

Brazil’s incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won a historic fourth term Sunday, denying U.S. President Donald Trump greater sway over Latin America’s largest economy.

With over 99% of ballots counted, Lula, a left-wing stalwart, defied expectations with 51.76% of the vote. His rival, right-wing Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, trailed behind with 48.24% despite winning in a first round of voting earlier this month.

Two small Arab parties may decide Israel’s election

There are about 2.1 million Arab-Israelis, making up roughly 21% of the country’s population. Their interests tend to be represented by Ra’am and the Joint List, both of which have played a more prominent role in Israeli politics in recent years.

In the aftermath of the 2021 election, the Ra‘am party leader, Mansour Abbas, joined with opposition leaders from across the political spectrum to unseat Netanyahu. This made Ra’am the first independent Arab party to join an Israeli coalition.

Naftali Bennett’s government collapsed after one year, opening the door for Netanyahu to return.

Brazil vote set for runoff as Flavio Bolsonaro sees surprise lead

Brazil‘s presidential race is heading to a runoff after right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro outperformed polls to finish ahead of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the first round. Both candidates now have three weeks to convince voters before a second-round showdown later this month. Reuters‘ Lisandra Paraguassu reports from Sao Paulo.

Europas Rechte leckt Trump die Stiefel

Es zeigt sich: Immer wieder haben sich gerade jene Parteien, die behaupten, die Nation an die erste Stelle setzen zu wollen, als die eifrigsten Verräter der Interessen ihres eigenen Volkes erwiesen. Sich mit Trump und Netanjahu gut zu stellen, scheint schlichtweg wichtiger.

In diesem Sinne kuschelt sich die radikale Rechte auch eng an das liberal-konservative Establishment in den europäischen Institutionen. Tatsächlich hat sich die einstige Kluft zwischen diesen beiden Fraktionen seit Jahren stetig verringert. Die jüngsten Kriegshandlungen in Nahost machen diese Annäherung noch deutlicher sichtbar. Beide Seiten sind nur allzu gerne bereit, ihre Rolle als Untergebene in der globalen Hierarchie zu spielen.

Flávio Bolsonaro inherited his father’s right-wing movement. Can he win Brazil’s presidency?

Flávio played recordings of the former president, promised to continue his legacy and said he had “humbly” accepted the mission his father had entrusted to him.

Convicted of more than 27 years in prison for plotting a coup after his 2022 electoral defeat, Jair Bolsonaro has entrusted Flávio with continuing his legacy, while maintaining his innocence and hoping that his son’s path to the presidential palace could also lead to his own freedom.

Friedrich Merz will lose Sunday’s regional election — whatever the result

An outright win for the far right in Saxony-Anhalt will hurt Merz. But things will also be messy if his party has to form coalitions with left-wingers to box out the AfD.

What’s at stake for the AfD and Merz in Germany’s three September elections

(September 1, 2026)

WASHINGTON—State elections this month in Germany will almost certainly weaken Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s federal coalition and raise new obstacles to his promised reforms. Merz’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and his coalition partner, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) are facing significant losses in the three state elections. Meanwhile, the most consequential state election comes first: in Sachsen-Anhalt, the right-wing nativist Alternative for Germany (AfD) is within reach of a parliamentary majority.

Russia and Israel reject Sánchez’s accusations of alleged involvement in the Ceuta migration crisis

The European Commission, in fact, avoided commenting on the substance of the matter on Tuesday and referred to the work of the European External Action Service (EEAS) on foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI).

EU spokesperson Paula Pinho explained that the issue falls under the purview of the EEAS and stated that the Commission has no information of its own on this matter.

Spain‘s leader says Russia and Israel fueled Ceuta migrant crisis „disinformation“

He said research by the European External Action Service (EEAS), the European Union‘s diplomatic service, indicated links with Israeli and Russian networks, but he gave no further details.

„It is evident that if Russia gets involved in spreading disinformation on this issue, or Israel also spreads disinformation on this issue, criticizing the Spanish government, it will not be because they are concerned about migration in Spain or Europe, but precisely because of the political positions we are taking — courageous ones, I believe — regarding the genocide in Gaza or Putin‘s invasion of Ukraine,“ Sánchez said.

The EEAS did not immediately respond to a CBS News request for comment on the research cited by Sánchez.

Starmer under pressure, as Labour suffers heavy elections losses

The results in England, Scotland and Wales have piled pressure on Sir Keir, with some Labour MPs calling for him to set a timetable for his departure, although his cabinet allies have backed him for now.

Labour has lost power in Wales, ending its 27 year-long rule, while the SNP appears likely to remain the largest party in Scotland.

Reform UK has been the big winner in England, picking up more than 1,400 seats and taking control of councils in areas where Labour and the Conservatives have been historically dominant.

The Explicit Manifesto of Digital Fascism: Palantir and the Alliance of Monopoly Capital with the Far Right

(April 22, 2026)

The manifesto published by Palantir Technologies is neither a technical document nor an economic vision. It is an explicit political document announcing a new phase in the trajectory of digital capitalism, a phase in which it has abandoned its claim to neutrality and decided to unmask itself, revealing its full ideological face. Palantir is not an isolated case in the global technological landscape. It is one of several major technology companies that sell their technologies to systems of repression and human rights violations, and has been condemned by international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, for its role in enabling forced deportations, mass surveillance, and the persecution of dissidents.

Most damning of all, documented reports have revealed a direct partnership between this company, alongside other Western technology companies such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, and the Israeli military, providing data and targeting systems that were used in military operations on Gaza, making it an actual partner in documented war crimes against Palestinian civilians.

Rep. Angie Craig‘s Campaign Is Quietly Distancing the Minnesota Senate Hopeful From AIPAC

As the Minnesota Democratic primary to succeed the retiring Sen. Tina Smith in the United States Senate heats up, Rep. Angie Craig is privately distancing herself from AIPAC. While courting the crucial endorsement of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party, Craig’s campaign staffers have told DFL delegates that the pro-Israel lobby is not funding her candidacy, according to messages obtained by Drop Site News. AIPAC has held at least a dozen fundraisers for Craig, however, over the course of the past year.

Craig’s behind-the-scenes communications are an indication of AIPAC’s growing toxicity in primary races as it advocates blanket U.S. support for a state committing an unpopular and brutal genocide in Gaza. In two recent races, AIPAC’s millions in support, once firmly understood as a moniker of credibility with the DC political class and financial protection from grassroots-funded challengers, has proven it can do more harm than good.

In Dead of Night, Johnson Tries—But Fails—to Ram Through Domestic Spying Bill for Trump

In the 228-197 final vote, a total of four Democrats—Reps. Jared Golden of Maine, Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, and Thomas R. Suozzi of New York—joined with all but 25 Republicans who voted to pass a 10-day extension. Twenty GOP members voted against it, while five did not vote.

Ahead of the votes—including on separate versions asking for a 5-year and then 18-month extensions of Section 702—opponents of any clean extension, including Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), said anyone opposed to warrantless spying on Americans must vote no.

The Infiltrator and the Movement

(April 23, 2014)

Modern political policing began in Britain in the 1880s, with the establishment of the Metropolitan Police’s Special Branch, the cocoon from which sprung the undercover policing operations decades later. The Branch originally aimed to combat Irish Fenians — armed fighters seeking independence from Britain — but soon expanded to keep tabs on foreign anarchists, suffragettes, and anticolonial Indians.

At the end of the 1800s, an undercover Branch officer infiltrated the Legitimation League — which campaigned to de-stigmatize bastard children — and orchestrated the League’s collapse. This operation set the tone for what was to come: intense, deeply personal infiltration of any political group that challenged the status quo.

(…)

From British Fascisti to the English Defence League, the UK’s security services have routinely refused to consider far-right groups subversive. Indeed, there is evidence, both here, in Europe, and across the Atlantic, of longstanding collaboration between elements of the security services and the far right.

Nigel Farage denies Gaza genocide and backs weapons exports to Israel

(June 2, 2025)

The Reform UK leader has previously spoken in favour of US president Donald Trump’s plans for the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip, which Israel’s government is looking to move forward.

Writing for GB News last year after Labour suspended around 10% of the UK’s weapon export licences to Israel amid fears the nation was breaching international law, Farage said: “I feel all over the world that Israel is running out of friends. And I wonder right now, is Israel still really an ally of this country?”

Diet elects Sanae Takaichi as Japan‘s first female prime minister

The LDP‘s alliance with the Osaka-based rightwing Japan Innovation Party, or Ishin no Kai, ensured her premiership because the opposition is not united. Takaichi‘s untested alliance is still short of a majority in both houses of parliament and will need to court other opposition groups to pass any legislation — a risk that could make her government unstable and short-lived.

The two parties signed a coalition agreement on policies underscoring Takaichi’s hawkish and nationalistic views.

US and UK ‚immensely let down‘ families of detained Gaza flotilla activists

The families of British and American Global Sumud Flotilla activists illegally detained by Israel have told Middle East Eye that the US and UK governments have failed to properly represent their citizens.

Clare Azzougarh, the daughter of Malcolm Ducker, a 72-year-old British air force veteran who captained a boat on the flotilla and is being held in Ketziot prison, said her family feels “immensely let down by the British government in so many ways”.

Laura Adler, the sister of David Adler, a Jewish-American member of the flotilla and co-general coordinator of the Progressive International, told MEE the response of the US government had made her realise that “not everyone is deemed to be equally American”.

“I didn’t realise how non-responsive and passive the US government would be,” Laura Adler said.

The illusion of democracy would remain. In reality, Blue and White would be ratifying Netanyahu’s moves in the midst of the pandemic panic.
