20.Nov.2007 https://de.rian.ru/world/20071119/88703793-print.html Laut Claudio Fava, Berichterstatter der Parlamentskommission, sollen die USA ein Netzwerk aufgebaut haben, um Terrorverdächtige zu entführen. "Die Entführungen von Terrorverdächtigen waren keine Einzelfälle. Das war ein System, das von US-Geheimdiensten im Kampf gegen den Terrorismus genutzt wurde", sagte Fava. Mehrere europäische Regierungen und Sicherheitsdienste sollen mit den USA kooperiert haben. 19.Nov.2007 https://politblog.net/krieg-terrorismus/911-eine-boeing-und-viel-aufregung-im-internet.htm Die Chowdrys, die Azimas und die CIA-Flüge Nachdenklich stimmt auch: Dieser Ronnie Chowdry ist nicht irgendein schmieriger Second Hand-Flugzeughändler, sondern schwerreicher Erbe des Gründers der Atlas Air, Michael A. Chowdry, der 00.000.2001 bei einem Flugzeugabsturz ums Leben kam. Laut Forbes immerhin im Jahr 00.000.2000 einer der reichsten 400 Amerikaner. Und: Eine Schwestergesellschaft der Atlas Air, die Firma Polar Air Cargo wird im Amnesty-Bericht über die Entführungspraxis der CIA (”Below the Radar“) erwähnt. Der frühere Präsident der Polar Air Cargo, Farhood Azima, ist wiederum mit den auch noch heute fleißigen Brüdern Farhad + Farzin Azima verwandt, die in den 00.000.1980 er Jahren im Auftrag der CIA + des exilierten Schahs tonnenweise Raketenteile in den Iran schmuggelten, um die Freilassung der US-Geiseln im Libanon zu erreichen ä um den Iran vor einer zeitweilig drohenden Niederlage im Krieg mit dem Irak zu bewahren. 19.Nov.2007 https://www.schutzkreis.de/?p=24277 9/11 group mulls anti-Giuliani campaign New York firefighters and families who lost relatives on 11.Sep.2001, are considering campaigning against presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani. https://www.globalresearch.ca 19.Nov.2007 CONTEMPORARY LABOR BIBLIOGRAPHY Covert Action Quarterly, No. 67, Spring-Summer: 56-60. ....

Es finde eine Kriminalisierung ohne Kontrolle statt. Auch völlig unbescholtene Bürger seien auf der Liste gelandet. 27.Dez.2001 Die als EU-Verordnung vom-erstmals erlassene "Terrorliste" versteht Brüssel als Umsetzung der UN-Sicherheitsratsresolution 1373 ("Antiterrorresolution"). Ziel sei es, Terroristen die wirtschaftlichen Ressourcen zu entziehen. Die gegenwärtige Fassung zählt 54 Personen und 50 Gruppierungen. Die Farc und die PFLP sind auf dieser Liste enthalten. Eine Begründung gibt es dafür nicht. 19.Nov.2007 https://www.taz.de/1/politik/europa/artikel/1/mit-t-shirts-in-die-terrorfalle/?src=TE&cHash=8eb62e73e3&type=98 Bobby Schultz beruft sich gegenüber der Anklage auf sein Notwehrrecht. Und dieses Widerstandsrecht müsse man vom Begriff des Terrorismus trennen. Israel übe eine völkerrechtswidrige Besatzungspolitik aus. Die kolumbianische Regierung habe in den letzten Jahrzehnten mindestens 20.000 politische Gegner ermorden lassen. "Farc und PFLP sind damit eine Konsequenz aus einem staatlichen Terror gegen die Zivilbevölkerung", meint Schultz. Widerstand gegen eine illegitime Staatsgewalt dürfe das Antiterrorgesetz nicht verhindern. 19.Nov.2007 Amerikanische Zeitungen: Das Internet ist das Medium und die Botschaft 19.Nov.2007 Dollar sorgt für Unruhe 19.Nov.2007 Dax bleibt auf Talfahrt 19.Nov.2007 Japan urged to recall whalers 19.Nov.2007 Polizei in der Kritik: Schüler wollte nicht mehr Amok laufen 19.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/natur/0,1518,druck-518315,00.html Der Nettoverlust in Grönland und der Antarktis beträgt 125 Gigatonnen Eis pro Jahr. 19.Nov.2007 https://blog.fefe.de/ Es sieht ja gelegentlich so aus, als wären die Richter noch auf der Seite der Gesetze und der Grundsätze, der Freiheit und der Gerechtigkeit. Aber weit gefehlt. Verwaltungsgericht Berlin: Bereits Ermittlungen gegen Terrorverdächtige reichen aus, um deren Konten zu sperren. Ob sich der Verdacht erhärtet oder nicht? Nicht so wichtig. Das Gericht schloss sich der Auffassung der BaFin an, dass bereits der Verdacht der Mitgliedschaft als Anlass für eine Kontensperre genüge. Einzelne verdächtige Kontenbewegungen müssten nicht nachgewiesen werden . Nur so könne effektiv verhindert werden, dass das Konto zur Unterstützung terroristischer Aktivitäten benutzt werde. Die BaFin hatte ihre zunächst verhängte Komplettsperre im Lauf des Verfahrens gelockert. Der Student darf über das Konto monatlich 660 Euro verfügen. Ganz großes Kino. Also ich habe ja den Verdacht, dass die Bundesregierung eine terroristische Vereinigung ist. Kann denen mal bitte jemand die Konten sperren? Aus Kulanzgründen würde ich Frau Merkel erlauben, über bis zu 660 Euro monatlich zu verfügen. Aber nur wenn sie sich benimmt und nicht mehr aufmuckt. https://blog.fefe.de/ Ahmedinedschad: "Sie kriegen unser Öl und sie geben uns dafür ein wertloses Stück Papier" (gemeint ist der US-Dollar) :-) Besonders lustig: China unterstützt indes nach Angaben seines Zentralbankchefs einen starken Dollar.

Jacques de Molay, der letzte Großmeister der Tempelritter, und einer seiner Gefährten wurden als angebliche Ketzer langsam auf einem heißen, rauchlosen Feuer gebraten. Bevor er starb, soll der Großmeister den französischen König Philipp IV. und Papst Clemens V. verflucht haben. Dem zeitgenössischen Chronisten Geoffroy de Paris zufolge rief der oberste Templer: "Möge das Unglück bald diejenigen treffen, die uns zu Unrecht verurteilen. Gott wird unseren Tod rächen." Tatsächlich starben binnen eines Jahres König und Papst.

But Narco News has uncovered at least one fact that is certain to deepen the mystery surrounding the crash of the jet whose tail number, N987SA, is now affixed in the lexicon of CIA folklore. That fact revolves around the name Greg Smith, who was identified in a McClatchy Washington Bureau report on the Gulfstream II’s crash as follows: A bill of sale obtained by McClatchy Newspapers indicates that Florida pilot Clyde O’Connor bought the plane on Sept. 16 — eight days before it went down in the Yucatan jungle. Another Florida pilot, identified by his license number and signature as Greg Smith, also signed the document, but his relationship to O’Connor isn’t detailed. 19.Nov.2007 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ This article suggests Greg Smith, the person alleged to have purchased N987SA along with Clyde O'Connor, may have flown over 30 flights to South America for the DEA, FBI, and CIA. # posted by LoganCale 19.Nov.2007 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ That is why the question of whether someone would kill or torture to protect their own loved ones has no relevance to whether they would agree to allot such powers to the government. # posted by starroute 19.Nov.2007 Streit um Büstenverleih: Experten wollen Reisefähigkeit von Nofretete prüfen (Wissenschaft) 19.Nov.2007 Atom- Konflikt: Iran beharrt auf Uran- Anreicherung im eigenen Land 19.Nov.2007 Automatischer Kennzeichen- Scan: Heute schon erfasst? 19.Nov.2007 Anonymer Hinweis: Vorgesetzte finden kistenweise Alkohol in Polizei- Keller (Panorama) 19.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/0,1518,druck-517561,00.html Bisher klären die "Drought Busters" nur auf. 19.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/0,1518,druck-517561,00.html Jeder, der einen Akt der Wasserverschwendung entdeckt, ist aufgerufen, diesen zu melden. 19.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/0,1518,druck-517561,00.html In den ersten sechs Monaten dieses Jahres hatte Los Angeles lediglich 8,15 Zentimeter Niederschlag im Schnitt.

Vor dem Anstieg war das damals mehr als einhundert Meter unter dem Niveau der Ozeane liegende Schwarze Meer ein Süßwassersee. Mit dem erhöhten Meerwasserspiegel brach am Bosporus der trennende Damm und das Schwarze Meer wurde in einer riesigen Flutwelle mit Meerwasser gefüllt.

So bemängeln US-Experten besonders, dass sie zu wenig Zugang zu den pakistanischen Laboren haben, in denen Uran angereichert wird. Das galt auch für das Labor für den Vater der pakistanischen Atombombe Abdul Qadir Khan - der schließlich über dunkle Kanäle Atomtechnologie an Nordkorea, Lybien und Iran verkaufte. 18.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-518056,00.html Das US-Geheimprogramm wurde dem Bericht zufolge nach dem 11. September ins Leben gerufen. Der Anschlag schürte die Angst, pakistanische Nuklearwaffen könnten in die Hände von Terroristen fallen. Das Arsenal galt als eines der unsichersten weltweit. US-Atomforscher regten daher an, mit Pakistan eine der kostbarsten Errungenschaften der US-Forschung zu teilen: Die Technologie der "Permissive Action Links", kurz PALS genannt. Dadurch können Waffen nur nach der Eingabe bestimmter komplizierter Codes und Kombinationen gezündet werden. Die Idee, den Pakistanern diese Technologie zugänglich zu machen, wurde jedoch letztlich fallen gelassen. Absurderweise wurde unter anderem der Atomwaffensperrvertrag als Begründung angeführt, der die Kooperation im Bereich der Atomwaffenforschung verbietet. Auch die Pakistaner hatten schwere Bedenken. Die Furcht: Die USA könnten versuchen, über das PALS-System die Bomben unbemerkt mit Mechanismen zu versehen, mit denen sie von außen entschärft werden können. 18.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/0,1518,druck-518072,00.html Das Wasser hatte bei Tekirdag am Marmarameer Dörfer und wichtige Straßen überflutet.

Zweifel an der Zuverlässigkeit der Methode kamen allerdings selbst dem FBI schon 1991. In einer Studie kam es zu dem Ergebnis, dass erstens auch Kugeln aus Packungen, die in 15 Monaten Abstand hergestellt worden waren, die genau selbe Zusammensetzung hatten - und dass zweitens Kugeln aus derselben Packung eine unterschiedliche Komposition aufwiesen. 18.Nov.2007 Forensik: Hunderte US- Häftlinge aufgrund fehlerhafter FBI- Methode verurteilt (Politik) 18.Nov.2007 Iran: Ahmadinedschad erwägt Urananreicherung in neutralem Land 18.Nov.2007 Virenvariante: Tödlicher Schnupfen 18.Nov.2007 Afghanistan: Massive Vorwürfe gegen Bundeswehr (Politik) 18.Nov.2007 Schwere Regenfälle: Land unter in Türkei und Griechenland - eine Tote (Panorama) 18.Nov.2007 Neuer Merrill- Lynch- Chef: Thain kassiert bis zu 170 Millionen Dollar (Wirtschaft) 18.Nov.2007 US- Notfallpläne: Wachsende Sorge um Sicherheit pakistanischer Atomwaffen 18.Nov.2007 Unbefristeter Streik: Stillstand auf Frankreichs Gleisen (Reise 18.Nov.2007 https://www.heise.de/bin/tp/issue/r4/dl-artikel2.cgi?artikelnr=26630&mode=print Injecting a Synthetic Reality?

To help establish the underlying facts and a more accurate telling of the issues involved is the needed role of the press. 18.Nov.2007 https://www.heise.de/tp/r4/artikel/26/26630/1.html Describing the impact of such press reports, Robert Perry of Consortium News explains that such news reports serve to inject "a synthetic reality" into public opinion in the U.S. "that misrepresents recent history, exaggerates external dangers and ridicules the few citizens who object." The impact of such narratives, Parry believes, is "quite practical and immediate." As American politicians along with the media "keep turning up the heat - more and more Americans are awakening to the threat but remain unclear what to do." He calls this a "false narrative." This narrative is part of the "war of ideas" that is part of the arsenal of weapons employed by a group of neoconservatives who have functioned within the U.S. government and in the media and think tanks to create the kind of "false narrative" which Parry proposes supports a specific set of policy objectives but maintains a means of hiding these objectives from the public.

A Bahamian court refused to grant him bail, since he has six Irish passports and one each from Venezuela and the Czech Republic. The Manhattan District Attorney wants to charge him with bribing Azerbaijani officials. Kozeny has spent the past 14 years making a lot of money in a hurry - and, according to his accusers, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from misguided investors. 18.Nov.2007 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Ko%C5%BEen%C3%BD#_note-1 Viktor Kožený From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Viktor Kožený (born June 20, 1963 in Prague) is a Czech-born fugitive financier, an Irish citizen imprisoned in the Bahamas in 00.000.2005 [1] but released 00.000.2007. Efforts to bring him to justice stem from both the Czech Republic and the U.S.A. An international warrant has been issued for Kožený, who in the early '00.000.1990 s ran one of the great scams of the post-Communist era. [1] By the media he is often called "the pirate of Prague". [1] He was imprisoned after a US extradition request but that was thrown out on appeal in 00.Oct.2007 . However the US said they will press the case (there are further two appeals available).

Nigeria is looking down on us. From U.K.'s Independent: "An American businessman over here who is given the choice would take anything but the dollar," David Buik of Cantor Index said yesterday. "I would want to be paid in yen, and if not yen then the euro or sterling." The warning was reinforced by a Chinese central bank vice-director, Xu Jian, who said the dollar was "losing its status as the world currency". China has stockpiled £700bn worth of foreign currency, and has only to decide to slow its accumulation of dollars to weaken the currency further. Last month, in a humiliating turn of events, the central bank in Iraq, four years after the United States invaded, stated that it wished to diversify reserves from a reliance on dollars. Korea's central bank has urged shipbuilders to issue invoices in the local currency and take precautions against the weakened dollar, and three of the world's big oil exporters, Iran, Venezuela, and Russia, are demanding payment in euros rather than dollars. Iran insisted that Japan should make all its payments for oil in yen, rather than dollars 18.Nov.2007 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ wonder if this "accident" was like the one we all saw on that episode of The West Wing . Nigerian finance minister Shamsuddeen Usman said that Opec could declare in the communique that: "While underlining our concern for the continued depreciation of the dollar and its adverse impact on our revenues, we instruct our finance ministers to study the issue exhaustively and advise us on ways to safeguard the purchasing power of our revenues, of our members' revenues." 18.Nov.2007 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ More dire news The Saudis and other OPEC members are strongly considering a move away from a dying dollar: In an embarrassing blunder at the meeting in Riyadh, ministers' microphones were not cut off during a key closed meeting, and Prince Al-Faisal was heard saying: "My feeling is that the mere mention that the Opec countries are studying the issue of the dollar is itself going to have an impact that endangers the interests of the countries. "There will be journalists who will seize on this point and we don't want the dollar to collapse instead of doing something good for Opec." After around 40 minutes press officials cut off the feed, which had been accidentally broadcast to the press room. 18.Nov.2007 https://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2007/11/tortured-argument.html If Dershowitz opposes censorship, why doesn't he say anything about that ?) The following comes from The Other Side of Deception : That was where I would come in as a military police officer; my job was to take the prisoners to a holding facility in Nes Ziyyona, a small town south of Tel Aviv. I’d always assumed that it was an interrogation facility for the Shaback. We all knew that a prisoner brought there would probably never get out alive, but the brainwashing we’d gone through in our short lifetimes had convinced us that it was them or us; there was no gray area. – It was Uri who enlightened me regarding the Nes Ziyyona facility. It was, he said, an ABC warfare laboratory–ABC standing for atomic, bacteriological, and chemical. It was where our top epidemiological scientists were developing various doomsday machines. Because we were so vulnerable and would not have a second chance should there be an all-out war in which this type of weapon would be needed, there was no room for error. The Palestinian infiltrators came in handy in this regard. As human guinea pigs, they could make sure the weapons the scientists were developing worked properly and could verify how fast they worked and make them even more efficient. Ostrovsky's motive for lying would be...well, what, exactly? 18.Nov.2007 https://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2007/11/tortured-argument.html If you visit the website of the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel, you'll see a Flash presentation which tells the story in a few grim, compelling images. 18.Nov.2007 https://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2007/11/tortured-argument.html Also see this Countercurrents piece: 00.000.1999 the Israeli High Court “banned” the practice of torture, but despite the “ban”, torture practice continues unabated. Systematic torture, including a policy of hooding and stressing all Palestinian detainees has been routinely used in Israeli prisons for decades. The practices follow a “well-defined set of steps and guidelines … selected to inflict extreme physical pain and mental anguish without causing … traceable physical injury”. Torture and ill-treatment of Palestinians continued to be systematic and state sanctioned. A joint report by the Public Committee against Torture in Israel, the Palestinian rights group Law and the Swiss-based World Organisation against Torture contends that the 00.Sep.1999 High Court ruling has been regularly flouted, particularly since the Intifada (Uprising) began in 00.Sep.2000 . According to B'Tselem, the Israeli human rights NGO, torture of Palestinians at the Gush Etzion police station continued from 00.Oct.2000-00.Jan.2001 . ”Testimonies given to B'Tselem indicate that these are not isolated cases or uncommon conduct by certain police officers, and information received by B'Tselem raises the serious likelihood that torture during interrogations at the Gush Etzion police station continues”[3]. “[T]hey torture almost all the Palestinians they could. It was in the System. The moment you start, you can’t stop”, said one researcher working with B’Tselem. 18.Nov.2007 https://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2007/11/tortured-argument.html Perhaps you think 1998 is ancient history. This is from a Ha'aretz piece from 2007: The report contains the testimonies of nine Palestinians who were arrested by the Israel Defense Forces and Shin between 2004 and 2005, including one that charged police investigators with committing severe sexual abuse. According to A., during questioning a police investigator held his legs in the air, and inserted an object into his rectum. "While the investigator inserted the 'object' into my rectum and removed it, he pulled my genitalia, as if he wanted to rip it out," said A. "He told me that he wanted to cut it off and throw it to the dog - this lasted at least 10 minutes. The whole time I yelled out in pain." A different prisoner, Louay Ashkar, said he sat during questioning on a chair with a bent backrest, with both hands tied behind the chair and each leg tied to chair leg. "The investigator would push my chest backward until my head reached the floor, and then grabbed my bound hands and pull me to him," said Ashkar. "I lost consciousness because of the pain, especially in my back." According to the report, Ashkar's legs are paralyzed due to the damage his spinal chord suffered. 18.Nov.2007 https://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2007/11/tortured-argument.html Now let's look at what a Rabbi has to say. In the 00.Dec.1998 issue of The Progressive, Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb recounted the story of "George," captured without charges, who was kept handcuffed in a chair for 120 days with his head covered by a sack soaked in urine + shit. Between 1,000 and 1,500 Palestinians are arrested every month, and as many as 80 percent of those undergo this form of interrogation, which falls under the category of `torture' by all international definitions. 18.Nov.2007 https://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2007/11/tortured-argument.html Now let's go to the BBC: An official Israeli report has acknowledged for the first time that the Israeli security service tortured detainees during the Palestinian uprising, the Intifada, between 00.000.1988-00.000.1992 . The report, written five years ago but kept secret until now, said the leadership of the security service Shin Bet knew about the torture but did nothing to stop it. The report did not detail the torture methods used, but human rights organisations say some detainees died or were left paralysed. 18.Nov.2007 https://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2007/11/tortured-argument.html Here's a typical account, given by a 1 5-year-old Palestinian, Riad Faraj, who was arrested for throwing stones 00.000.1987 -in late- . "They handcuffed and beat me during the journey to Fara'a [a military prison in Nablus]. Once we arrived, they took me to a 'doctor' for a 'checkup.' I found out later that this 'checkup' is to locate any physical weakness to concentrate on during torture. They paid particular attention to my leg, which was once injured and was still sensitive. Before they began interrogation, they asked me if I was ready to confess. They then hanged me by my wrists, naked, outside in the cold, and gave me hot and cold showers alternatively." 18.Nov.2007 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ But for those of you interested in "mere fact," start here: 18.Nov.2007 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ Tortured argument As you probably know, Alan Dershowitz wrote a piece in which he cited the example of the Nazis in order to argue for the efficacy of torture. Larisa Alexandrovna wrote a scathing response to this argument, titled "Alan Dershowitz: Was He Against Nazi Practices Before He Was for Them?" Dershowitz has now attacked Larisa, who has mounted her own defense. Dershowitz: I am against torture on moral grounds despite the empirical evidence that may sometimes produce life-saving and self-proving information. I also believe that since torture is being used and would be authorized by any president in a real ticking bomb situation, democracy requires accountability rather than deniability. Understandably her blog does not link to my article in the Wall Street Journal, because the last thing she would want anybody to do would be actually to read what I have said. Larisa condemns as a "blatant lie" the allegation that she did not link to the original WSJ article. She goes on to say: The moral argument cannot be qualified by providing support of the workable results for the thing that you find immoral to begin with. In other words, I cannot argue that murder is immoral, but then also state in the same argument that in some cases, the best way to kill someone would be to shoot them. This hits the nail. I encourage readers to take a look at the WSJ piece. Dershowitz does indeed briefly say "Although I am personally opposed to the use of torture..." The effect is a little like Nixon saying "But it would be wrong" when he suddenly remembered the microphones. 18.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-518035,00.html Den Ausnahmezustand, so jedenfalls erschien es am Sonntag, nehmen die USA als unangenehmes Übel auf, mit dem man leben muss. 18.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-518035,00.html Präsident Bush jedenfalls scheint gewillt, mit seinem Freund Musharraf auch schwierige Zeiten durchzustehen. 18.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-518035,00.html Die Köpfe der al-Qaida aber fanden die Behörden nie, obwohl sie alle in Pakistan vermutet werden. 18.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-518035,00.html Begonnen hatte die seltsame Freundschaft kurz nach dem 11.

The report is not easy to find on the IPCC website but the Yorkshire Ranter has managed to track down the link. A pdf copy is also available via the BBC. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.tomgriffin.org/the_green_ribbon/2005/05/green_ribbon_ma.html Spitz himself, has admitted on film that he has shipped weapons to Islamic fundamentalists. 00.000.2004 these findings were corroborated even further, when Hamid Mir (one of Pakistan’s top journalists and a recognised Taliban expert) reported that, Dr al-Zawhari had come to NZ during the 1990’s to set up fronts for arms deals for the Brotherhood. Mr Mir claims such businesses are part of a network of fronts set up in London, Moscow and Geneva. Al Zawahri’s use of NZ for such an arms pipeline is not unique. 00.000.2000, agents from India’s intelligence service, the CBI, came to NZ to follow up on leads concerning Kumaran Pathmanathan (KP), chief of arms procurement for the terrorist organisation LTTE (see photo). KP is reported as visiting NZ, also with the aim of setting up a series of businesses, as part of a network of fronts that, according to the CBI, wind throughout Switzerland, Sri Lanka, Australia, Holland, Norway, South Africa, England, Russia and NZ. At least one of KP’s arms trafficking ships, the Amazon, flys under a NZ flag. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.tomgriffin.org/the_green_ribbon/2005/05/green_ribbon_ma.html A DEADLINE Special ReportA Report:Aotearoa Arms Incorpoarted -By- Ben C Vidgen “Belgium and the Netherlands are…trafficking centres, where numerous illegal arms dealers have had their headquarters”. - 00.Dec.2002 A Study Prepared by the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress, under an Inter-agency Agreement with the United States Government. For two years, DEADLINE has reported how arms smugglers regularly use NZ. We reported how NZ provided arms to the Muslim Brotherhood, led by Osama Bin Laden’s lieutenant, Dr Ayman al-Zawahri. Our report was published well beforenews broke last year, that Dr al-Zawah ri had visited NZ to set up fronts for arms purchases. We maintained that this network was centred in Belgium and the Netherlands. Again, our claims were made in advance of reports identifying NZ as the transit point for US arms parts passing from the Netherlands into Iran. DEADLINE reported that Pakistan did not steal nuclear technology from the Netherlands, but was assisted at the highest levels of government. This claim is now accepted as true by the Netherlands’ own investigators. DEADLINE lays out all the information we have gathered to date, which we believe shows Aotearoa is involved in an arms scandal, which could well dwarf the Iran Contra scandal of the eighties. DEADLINE investigates and invites the reader to judge for themselves. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/0,1518,druck-518010,00.html Die Lage in Bangladesch ist katastrophal, nachdem der Wirbelsturm "Sidr" am Donnerstag über das Land hinwegfegte. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-518004,00.html In diesem Jahr, meldet die amerikanische "Army Times", habe die Zahl der Deserteure einen neuen Höhepunkt erklommen. Der höchste Stand seit 2001 sei erreicht, 4698 Soldaten flüchteten im zurückliegenden Jahr. Um 80 Prozent sei die Zahl der Deserteure seit 2003 gestiegen, und sie klettere immer noch, immer schneller. Rechnet dann auf, dass die Höchststände aus Vietnam-Zeiten noch weit, weit entfernt lägen. Und klingt zerknirscht, wenn in Nebensätzen der Hinweis folgt, dass bei Navy und Luftwaffe zeitgleich die Zahl der Deserteure immer weiter falle. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-517999,00.html Auch das übrigens ein Punkt, den der IPCC in seinem neuen Weltreport nur flüchtig erwähnt: Nach aktuellen Studien wird ein gewisser Teil der anthropogenen Treibhausgase für Jahrtausende in der Erdatmosphäre verbleiben - und das Klima eine halbe Ewigkeit lang prägen. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-517999,00.html Die NSIDC-Forscher gehen nunmehr davon aus, dass die Arktis schon 2030 im Sommer eisfrei sein könnte - Jahrzehnte früher als nach den Klimaprojektionen, die im neuen IPCC-Report erwähnt werden. Dort ist "vom späteren Teil des 21. Jahrhunderts" die Rede. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-517999,00.html "Die Vorstellung, dass uns die Biosphäre schon irgendwie retten wird, ist falsch!", folgert Kevin Gurney, Klimaforscher an der Purdue University in West Lafayette in den USA: "So viel zusätzliches CO2 können Bäume gar nicht aufnehmen." 17.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-517999,00.html Jetzt, in der spanischen Universitätsstadt Valencia, gab es den Nachschlag, "Synthese- Report" genannt. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-517999,00.html "Furchterregend wie ein Science-Fiction-Film" - so bewertet Uno-Generalsekretär Ban Ki Moon den neuen Weltklimabericht.

Auf Festplatten könnten Fahnder intime Details über die ausgespähten Verdächtigen, aber auch über gänzlich unbeteiligte Dritte entdecken - vor Jahren aufgenommene Nacktfotos aus einer früheren Beziehung zum Beispiel. Wie solche Daten bei der Online-Durchsuchung ausgeklammert werden könnten, ist unklar. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/0,1518,druck-517832,00.html Geheimdienste wie Verfassungsschutz, Bundesnachrichtendienst und Militärischer Abschirmdienst müssen generell keinen Richter fragen, um die gespeicherten Daten auszuwerten. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-517923,00.html Bericht der Internationalen Atomenergiebehörde (IAEA) zum Stand des iranischen Nuklearprogramms, der in der Nacht auf Freitag publik wurde. "Dieser Bericht macht es viel schwieriger für Bush, eine Koalition für härtere Uno-Sanktionen gegen Iran zu bilden", sagt Qamar al-Huda, Iran-Experte beim Washingtoner US Institute of Peace, im Gespräch mit SPIEGEL ONLINE. "Das Weiße Haus hat gehofft, mit dem Bericht den Weg zu bereiten für eine neue Resolution des Weltsicherheitsrats. Aber weil die Schlussfolgerungen der IAEA viel Raum für Interpretationen lassen, kann man gerade regelrecht zusehen, wie diese Koalition zerbröckelt."

Wenn der Engpass innerhalb eines Jahres auflaufe, könnte die Folge eine "ernste Rezession" sein. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/natur/0,1518,druck-517113,00.html Um die letzten Bestände zu retten und trotzdem am Geschäft teilzuhaben, wird zum Beispiel im malaysischen Ort Parit Keroma versucht, Aquilaria-Bäume auf Plantagen zu züchten und gezielt mit Schmarotzern zu infizieren. Die Regierung in Kuala Lumpur unterstützt mit Forschungsgeldern solche Initiativen, um das letzte wilde Adlerholz zu retten. 150 Milliarden Dollar Umsatz macht die internationale Holzindustrie im Jahr. Jede dritte der rund 21.000 Holzarten ist gefährdet.

Denn die Bürger der größten Volkswirtschaft der Welt sehen sich mittlerweile der verhängnisvollen Kombination aus hohen Energiekosten, sinkenden Immobilienpreisen, abnehmenden Arbeitsplatzzahlen und zugeknöpften Banken bei der Kreditvergabe gegenüber. Das gab es zuletzt 1991. Und wie damals schlägt sich das zuerst in den besonders sensiblen Teilindizes der amerikanischen Börse nieder. 16.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,druck-517827,00.html ergänzt Karsten Stroh, Leiter des Aktienteams von J.

"140 Staaten haben diese Resultate anerkannt", sagte sie. Die Frage sei nun, ob und welche Reduktionsziele sich die Staaten bei der am 3. Dezember auf Bali beginnenden Klimakonferenz auf dieser Grundlage setzten. Ausreden lasse die IPCC-Zusammenfassung nicht mehr zu. 16.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/natur/0,1518,druck-517922,00.html Die Delegierten des Uno-Klimarats verabschiedeten den Entwurf des Dokuments heute in Valencia. Morgen soll der Report von Uno-Generalsekretär Ban Ki Moon und IPCC-Chef Rajendra Pachauri präsentiert werden - die ersten Inhalte sind allerdings schon vorab bekannt geworden. Hitzewelle, Verschwinden des arktischen Eises Laut BBC beträgt der wahrscheinliche Temperaturanstieg bis zum Jahr 2100 je nach Szenario zwischen 1,8 und 4 Grad Celsius, möglicherweise aber auch bis zu 6,4 Grad. Sehr wahrscheinlich sei ein Anstieg des Meeresspiegels um 28 bis 43 Zentimeter. In der zweiten Hälfte des Jahrhunderts werde im Sommer das Eis in der Arktis verschwunden sein. Hitzewellen werden demnach wahrscheinlich in Zukunft häufiger auftreten, genauso werden tropische Stürme häufiger Verwüstungen anrichten. Umweltschützer hoffen auf eine starke Wirkung des Berichts. Der Mensch sollte dem von ihm verursachten Klimawandel entschieden entgegentreten und den Ausstoß von Treibhausgasen so schnell und so weit wie möglich verringern, forderten Teilnehmer der Sitzung des Uno-Klimarates. "Kein Politiker wird jetzt mehr sagen können, er wisse nicht, was los sei", sagte der Klimaexperte Han Verolme von der WWF. Die Beratungen in Valencia seien ein Meilenstein und würden den Kurs der Politik auf Jahrzehnte beeinflussen. "Eine starke Wortwahl des IPCC macht entschlossenes Handeln der Regierungen erforderlich. Der Ball liegt jetzt im Feld der Politik", sagte Verolme.

The thought that they needed a "catastrophic and catalysing event" was not just motivated by the personal financial benefits several of them get from the war industries. It was also a sign of panic of a nation facing drying up oil wells and preparing itself to conquer foreign oil wells until the last drip is gone. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 If the hijackers were to support some Arabic or Islamic cause, they would probably be in a stronger position if they had returned to airports with four planes and hundreds of US citizens in their might. They could have negotiated the release of political prisoners. They could have demanded a retreat of US forces from Saudi Arabia. They could have pleaded any cause they were after. Did the hijackers really have in mind to strike the WTC and the Pentagon or were they overruled by the organization that had "contracted" them? 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 Keeping the things in their context, it makes more sense to look at them as facts, and not as coincidences. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 00.Sep.1999 Bush still said "perhaps".

[69] 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 Osama had few options. On 18.May 1996 he left Sudan and returned to Afghanistan. [67] Years afterward, many people were still wondering why he had not been arrested at that occasion. 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 Osama There is a terrible lot of information available about bin Laden's son, Osama. However, almost all of it comes from sources that cannot be verified, like comments by unknown people who would have known him or met him. Other stories are based on allegations by people who have big business interests in the "war on terrorism", like the Bush. One step further, you find the comments by officials "convinced" that everything that has been said about Osama is true. On the other extremity, there is the image Osama draws of himself in an interview by reporter Peter Arnett 00.000.1997 . According to this interview he is, first of all, a faithful, who understands people who fight against the US soldiers who came to steal the oil and who attacked the Islamic religion. He denies having organized any attacks against the US himself. [63] (Many people will remember a videotape with “Osama's confession”, that he knew about the attacks of 9/11 in advance, which turned out to be a fake. [64]) Osama would become Bush's key excuse to invade Afghanistan. On 17.Sep.2001 Bush would declare Osama bin Laden was wanted "dead or alive". [65] 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 00.000.1993 -Since- in India, Enron had invested $ 2.9 billion for a power plant near Bombay. Originally it had counted on cheap supply of gas from Turkmenistan via the planned pipeline through Afghanistan. The power plant project had turned into a nightmare. Enron had faced severe criticism over their contemptuous way of doing business. They had experienced severe opposition from the local population after hiring police officers to beat down protests of opponents. Charges had been filed against the company for human right violations. [39] 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 00.000.1997 the Securities and Exchange Commission had exempted Enron from the Investment Company Act of 1940 that prohibits US companies from leaving debt from overseas projects off the books. [47] At the same time Andy Fastow, Enron's senior vice president of finance, had started his "creative" financing. [50] 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 00.000.2000, the Turkmen president had blamed the US for the delay in the trans-Caspian pipeline and had resumed gas deliveries to Russia. [45] That May, president Putin had even come to Turkmenistan to offer extended deals for several years. [9] Meanwhile, in Kazakhstan, the oil from the Tengiz field (world's sixth largest oil field) was going to be pumped via Russia to the Black Sea. [46] 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 Meanwhile, in 00.Feb.1996 Turkmenistan had showed it did not want to depend exclusively on the delayed Afghan pipeline project and had signed a contract with Turkey to supply Turkmen gas via a pipeline to be constructed along the North coast of Iran. If necessary, Turkey would be able to absorb all the Turkmen gas. [34] Iranian-Libyan Sanctions act With these two Iranian pipelines the Afghan pipelines would become more or less useless. To prevent the construction of the Iranian pipelines the US Congress passed the Iranian-Libyan Sanctions act, [35] threatening anyone who would help Iran constructing them, and forbidding transactions with Iran of $ 4 million or higher. That was on June 18, 1996. Nevertheless on 30.Aug.1996 Turkey signed a 20-year deal to buy gas from Iran. [34] & [36] The Turkish president would be punished for his Islamic solidarity by a military coup forcing him to resign. That was on 18.Jun.1997 . [37] 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 This is how Bush won the elections. [29] Dictator A few days later, on December 18, speaking at the Capitol, Bush joked about his starting relationship with the four congressional leaders: "If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier....just so long as I'm the dictator." [30] Just a slip of the tongue? Not really. In 00.Jul.1998 about governing Texas, he said already: "A dictatorship would be a lot easier." [31] And on 26.July.2001, speaking once again about his struggles with Congress he repeated: "a dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier." [32] 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 And, linking 9/11 to Pearl Harbor, he said, "September 11th, 2001 - three months and a long time ago - set another dividing line in our lives and in the life of our nation." [27] 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 Curious No-Fly list 21.Apr.2000 something remarkable happened. As an antiterrorist measure, the US Congress announced a single unified terrorist watch list, the TID (or Terrorist Identities Database), into which all international terrorist related data available to the US government - mainly the TIPOFF no-fly list - would be stored in a single repository. In airports, this list is used to prevent suspected people from going on board and from entering the US. [22] However, the same day that Congress announces the unified TID list, the FAA created a new and separate domestic no-fly list and put only six names on it. 9/11 -Two weeks before- the list was expanded with six other names, making it a total list of 12 names. Thanks to this separate list the hijackers of 9/11, using domestic flights, and not listed among the 12 names, could board the planes without difficulties. On 23.Aug.2001 two names, later published as being two of the hijackers, had been added to the official TID-list, which counted 60,000 suspects, but was discarded for domestic flights. [23] 2: Frustrations and solutions 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 23.Sep.1999 presidential candidate George W. Bush exposed his views on the US military. He complained that since the end of the Cold War the Defence budget had fallen 40 percent and that the army had never been in such a bad shape since Pearl Harbor. "As president, I will order an immediate review of our overseas deployments - in dozens of countries. ... My second goal is to build America's defences on the troubled frontiers of technology and terror." Among his views of arms: "In the air, we must be able to strike from across the world with pinpoint accuracy - with long-range aircraft and perhaps with unmanned systems." [19] 15.Oct.1999 things were getting more serious for the Taliban. UN resolution 1267 against the Taliban threatened an aircraft ban and funded freezing, if Osama Bin Laden was not handed over before 14 November 1999. [20] & [2] 11.Nov.1999 in a press conference, the Taliban minister of Foreign Affairs said Osama bin Laden and the Taliban were unable to organize attacks like those on the embassies in Africa. He condemned these actions. 00.000.2000 the US had presidential elections. It was time to postpone delicate decisions. 02.Apr.2000 Richard Clarke, who had been appointed counter-terrorist coordinator a few months before the attacks against the embassies in Africa (on May 22), predicted: "They will come after our weakness, our Achilles heel, which is largely here in the United States." [21] 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 04.Jul.1999 President Clinton issued an executive order prohibiting commercial transactions with the Taliban. [18] 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 28.Aug.1998 UNSC resolution 1193 blamed the Taliban for the problems in Afghanistan. [13] 05.Nov.1998 a US Grand Jury indicted Osama Bin Laden. (Not for the bombings of the embassies in Africa, but essentially for considering the US as his enemy.) [14] & [15] 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 00.Nov.1996 BRIDAS signed an agreement with the Taliban and Gen. Dostum to build the pipeline. Unfortunately, except from Pakistan and Saudi-Arabia, the Taliban government didn't get international recognition. 00.Apr.1997 -as work on the pipeline had still not started, the Taliban announced it would award the contract to whomever starts first. UNOCAL claimed there must be peace first. 00.Jul.1997 Turkmenistan and Pakistan accepted a new delay and signed a new contract with UNOCAL, saying it had to start the work within a year and a half. 00.Dec.1997 UNOCAL tried to become good friends with the Taliban and invited a delegation to their head office in Sugarland, Texas, where they received a VIP treatment and stayed in the best hotels. [8] 17.Nov.2007 https://www.the-movement.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=27 Contracts for pipelines are not just multi-billion dollar projects to build them. The main contractor generally also buys and sells the oil or gas going through them. With contracts he disposes of it, determines how much the supplier gets for it, and how much fee is paid to crossed countries. He determines who gets it, how much, when, to which price and in which currency it has to be paid. In fact, he determines a lot in the economical developments of both the selling and the buying countries. With Turkmenistan eager to sell its gas, Pakistan eager to buy it and Enron in India hoping to see it arrive as soon as possible, the pipelines through Afghanistan are of high interest.However, in 00.000.2001 work in Afghanistan had not started yet. 00.000.1989-Since the withdrawal of the Soviets- there was still unrest in the country. The Taliban: From ally to terrorist The unrest in Afghanistan that blocked the business is worth mentioning. 00.000.1992 the pro-Russian president Mohammad Najibullah was ousted. 00.000.1993 Burhanuddin Rabbani became president, supported by the Tajik minority of the population. 00.000.1994 the Pashtun, forming half of the population, challenged Rabbani. Because the pipelines have to cross mainly Pashtun territory, their movement, the Taliban, had support from the US and Pakistan. 00.Mar.1995 two companies, BRIDAS from Argentina and UNOCAL from the US, both claimed to have obtained the contracts from the seller of the gas (Turkmenistan) and the buyer (Pakistan). At that moment no deal had yet been signed with the Afghan authorities. 00.Oct.1995 President Niyazov of Turkmenistan signed an official agreement with UNOCAL, but in 00.Feb.1996 president Rabbani of Afghanistan signed an agreement with BRIDAS for the main section of 875 miles through Afghanistan. [7] UNOCAL's chances seemed compromised. Fortunately for UNOCAL, the Taliban wanted to oust president Rabbani. In 00.Sep.1996 they took Jalabad, Kandahar, and then Kabul. President Rabbani fleed to join the Northern Alliance. UNOCAL sighed with relief. It expressed support for the Taliban takeover, saying it makes the pipeline project easier. Unocal later said it was misquoted. 17.Nov.2007 Printed Electronics Asia 2007: 00.000.2006 H.C. Starck was sold to an investors consortium formed by Advent International and The Carlyle Group . H.C.

Das Prinzip ist simpel: Die einzelnen Termiten verändern durch ihre Bautätigkeit im Laufe der Zeit ihre Umgebung. Der äußere Reiz der veränderten Umgebung führt wiederum dazu, dass die Termiten von einer Verhaltensweise zu einer anderen "umschalten": Zu Beginn des Nestbaus nehmen Termiten beispielsweise Erde auf, vermischen sie mit Speichel und drehen sie zu einem Pellet. Mit diesem Pellet laufen sie herum, und lassen es mit einer geringen Wahrscheinlichkeit irgendwo fallen. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit wird jedoch sehr viel größer, wenn an diesem Ort bereits Pellets liegen. 16.Nov.2007 https://www.heise.de/tr/artikel/print/99055 Im Schwarm aber scheinen die Tierchen eine eigene Art von Intelligenz zu besitzen, die sich auf geheimnisvollem Wege aus dem Nichts manifestiert, aber nicht zentral gesteuert wird. 16.Nov.2007 https://www.heise.de/tr/artikel/print/99055 Obwohl in der Minderheit, konnten die Roboter die große Masse der Schaben in der Regel dazu bewegen, ihnen zu folgen.

Als erster Kapitalmarktexperte im deutschsprachigen Raum hat sich Markus Stadlmann von der Liechtensteinischen VP -Bank an eine Zehnjahresprognose gewagt.

Angefangen bei dem heute schon fast vergessenen Umstand, daß die erstmalige Zustimmung des Bundestags am 16. November 2001 mit 336 Ja-Stimmen gegen 326 Nein-Stimmen denkbar knapp ausfiel. CDU/CSU und FDP hatten, gemeinsam mit der PDS, gegen den Antrag der Bundesregierung gestimmt. Hintergrund der seltsamen, historisch vielleicht einmaligen Konstellation: Dem damaligen Bundeskanzler Gerhard Schröder war es extrem wichtig, SPD und Grüne so geschlossen wie möglich in den beginnenden weltweiten »Krieg gegen den Terror« einzubinden und beide Parteien damit auch für die Zukunft zu verpflichten. Schröder verknüpfte deshalb, ohne wirkliche Notwendigkeit, die Abstimmung über die OEF-Teilnahme mit der Vertrauensfrage. Als Bestandteil der Politposse durften nach interner Verabredung genau vier Grüne ihrem Gewissen folgen und mit Nein stimmen. 15.Nov.2007 https://www.jungewelt.de/2007/11-16/020.php?print=1 Das Kalkül der US-Hardliner hat die FAZ im September 2007 ganz gut erkannt: »Jedenfalls ist die Zukunft des Kosovo ein Keil, der (einen Teil der) Europäer und Amerikaner auseinandertreibt, denn Washington steht im Verdacht, die Kosovo-Albaner in deren Unabhängigkeitsfuror noch anzufeuern. Und dieser Keil fährt zwischen die Europäer mit einer Wucht, die es, was die Außenpolitik betrifft, seit dem inneren Zerwürfnis wegen der amerikanischen Irak-Politik nicht mehr gegeben hat.« 15.Nov.2007 https://www.jungewelt.de/2007/11-16/020.php?print=1 Würde aus der Provinz Kosovo ein selbständiger Staat, so könnten auch Regionen wie Transnistrien (in Moldawien), Abchasien (in Georgien), Tschetschenien (in Rußland), aber auch das Baskenland (in Spanien) sowie die ungarischen Regionen in der Südslowakei und in Westrumänien dasselbe verlangen. 15.Nov.2007 https://www.jungewelt.de/2007/11-16/020.php?print=1 Seit 2005 jagte ein tendenziöser Expertenbericht den nächsten. Den Anfang machte im Januar eine Studie der International Crisis Group (ICG), wonach es zu einer Eigenstaatlichkeit des Kosovos »keine akzeptable Alternative« gebe. Die ICG wird unter anderem vom US-amereikanischen Multimilliardär George Soros finanziert. 15.Nov.2007 https://www.jungewelt.de/2007/11-16/020.php?print=1 Terroristen wie Xhezair haben nach dem Abzug der jugoslawischen und serbischen Sicherheitskräfte am 10. Juni 1999 das Kosovo in eine Todeszone für alle Nicht-Albaner verwandelt. 15.Nov.2007 https://www.jungewelt.de/2007/11-16/020.php?print=1 UCK, CIA und BND Im März 2004 war Xhezair zurück im Kosovo und führte ein antiserbischen Pogrom an. Drei Tage lang brandschatzte ein Mob von 50000 Aufrührern die Wohnstätten und religiösen Heiligtümer der serbischen Minderheit. Xhezair hatte nach eigenen Angaben die Leitung im Gebiet um Prizren und Urosevac inne. NATO-Dokumente bezeichnen ihn als Koordinator eines geheimen Netzes, das Angehörige der formell aufgelösten UCK geknüpft haben, die heute im Kosovo-Schutzkorps und in der Kosovo-Polizei ihren Dienst verrichten – in Formationen also, die von der UN-Verwaltung UNMIK und dem NATO-Besatzungskorps KFOR legalisiert worden sind. Daneben verdächtigt die NATO den Mann guter Kontakte zu Al Qaida und zur Hisbollah. Das hingegen dürfte eher eine Schutzbehauptung sein: Gegenüber dem heute-journal des ZDF brüstete sich der UCK-Kommandant nämlich im November 2004 damit, »auf der Gehaltsliste des BND, der CIA und eines österreichischen Geheimdienstes« zu stehen. Der BND gab den Sachverhalt zu, betonte jedoch, man habe Xhezair einige Wochen vor den Pogromen als Informanten »abgeschaltet«. 15.Nov.2007 https://www.jungewelt.de/2007/11-16/020.php?print=1 Vielleicht läßt sich die jüngste Geschichte des Kosovo ganz gut mit dem Werdegang eines wichtigen UCK-Kommandeurs illustrieren. Dieser Xhezair Shaqiri, bekannter unter seinem Kriegsnamen Kommandeur Hoxha, kämpfte 00.000.1999 in der 171. UCK-Brigade zunächst gegen die Serben. Nachdem dieser Krieg mit Hilfe der NATO gewonnen war, wechselte Xhezair über die Grenze und nahm im Frühjahr 2001 in der 112. Brigade am UCK-Aufstand in Mazedonien teil. Dort war er Kommandant einer Einheit aus teilweise ausländischen Gotteskriegern im Raum Tetovo. Als diese Formation im Juni 2001 von der mazedonischen Armee bei Aracinovo eingekesselt war, wurde sie von der US-Armee ausgeflogen. Neben Xhezair und seinen Mudschahedin befanden sich auch 17 US-Militärberater des Pentagon unter den Geretteten. 15.Nov.2007 Alarmierender Report: Immer mehr arme Kinder 15.Nov.2007 Fass ohne Boden: IKB braucht neues Geld 15.Nov.2007 US-Kabelanbieter Comcast wegen Filesharing-Blockade verklagt 15.Nov.2007 Die Parade der größten Klimasünder 15.Nov.2007 Die Weltuntergangsuhr tickt weiter 15.Nov.2007 UNO mit klarer Mehrheit für Stopp aller Hinrichtungen 15.Nov.2007 Sorgen um Kreditkrise drücken US-Börsen ins Minus 15.Nov.2007 Tepco underestimated nuke plant faults 15.Nov.2007 Libre circulation des personnes : l'Union européenne rappelle les Etats à l'ordre 15.Nov.2007 Deutscher General bestätigt Foltervorwürfe 15.Nov.2007 "Spiegel"-Chef Stefan Aust geschasst: "Freude auf den Fluren" 15.Nov.2007 https://blog.fefe.de/ Ziercke: die "Terroristen" von Oberschledorn hatten 2,3 Terabyte Daten dabei, die die Polizei jetzt auswerten muß.

"Für die nahe Zukunft prognostizieren wir die Ansiedlung von mindestens einer fremden Spinnenart pro Jahr in Europa", erklärte Nentwig. Darunter könnten auch vermehrt giftige Arten zu finden sein. Für den Menschen sei das insofern gefährlich, als fast drei Viertel der eingeschleppten Spinnen in urbanen Gebieten und in Gebäuden lebten. Die Einflüsse, die der neue Artenreichtum auf Ökosysteme hat, sind nach Angaben der Forscher noch weitgehend unbekannt. 15.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/0,1518,druck-517590,00.html Deutschland nehme wegen seiner Familien- und Bildungsverarmung im Kreis der Industrienationen eine negative Spitzenstellung ein. Nach Ansicht des Kinderhilfswerks wurzelt die Familienmisere vor allem im deutschen Steuer- und Sozialsystem. Familien werde ein Übermaß an öffentlichen Abgaben abverlangt. 15.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/0,1518,druck-517590,00.html Besonders dramatisch haben sich laut Kinderhilfswerk die Hartz- IV-Gesetze vor knapp drei Jahren auf die Situation der Kinder ausgewirkt: 15.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/0,1518,druck-517590,00.html Berlin - Die Wirtschaft boomt, die Arbeitslosigkeit geht zurück - aber immer mehr Kinder in Deutschland leben in Armut: Der Kinderreport Deutschland 2007, den das Kinderhilfswerk heute vorstellte, untersucht die Kinderarmut seit 1965. Ergebnis: Vor 42 Jahren war demnach nur jedes 75. Kind unter sieben Jahren zeitweise oder dauerhaft auf Sozialhilfe angewiesen, 2006 war es jedes sechste Kind. Das bedeutet, dass sich die materielle Armut von Kindern etwa alle zehn Jahre verdoppelt habe. Besonders betroffen sind demnach Kinder aus Einwandererfamilien. 15.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/reise/aktuell/0,1518,druck-517653,00.html Von den aufgeführten 28 Fluglinien stand sie bei der Pünktlichkeit an 26.

Mehr als 150 Todesfälle weltweit hat die Bürgerrechtsorganisation Amnesty International seit 2001 gezählt. 15.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/0,1518,druck-517699,00.html Ungeklärt bleibt, weshalb Dziekanski während seines zehnstündigen Verbleibs auf dem Flughafen niemand half. Kein Angestellter des Flughafens kümmerte sich um den Mann: "Er suchte Hilfe, er hatte Angst, er hat diese Hilfe nicht bekommen", sagte Anwalt Walter Kosteckyj laut BBC. 15.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/0,1518,druck-517699,00.html Schließlich eilen vier Polizisten herbei. Dziekanski dreht ihnen den Rücken zu - schon 25 Sekunden nach ihrem Eintreffen ist der erste krachende Schuss einer Taser-Pistole zu hören. Dziekanski stolpert, schreit laut und wälzt sich unter offenbar starken Schmerzen auf dem Boden. Ein weiterer Schuss fällt. Drei der Beamten halten Dziekanski nieder, der immer noch gequälte Schreie von sich gibt. Sie versuchen, ihm Handschellen anzulegen. "Schieß noch mal, schieß noch mal", sagt einer der Polizisten zu einem Kollegen. Zu viert knien die Beamten dann auf dem Mann am Boden, der schließlich verstummt und reglos daliegt. Wenig später sagt eine Stimme "Code Red", womit ein medizinischer Notfall bezeichnet wird. Kurz darauf ist Robert Dziekanski tot. Offiziell steht Dziekanskis Todesursache bis heute nicht fest. Eine Autopsie ergab keinen Hinweis auf Blutalkohol oder Drogen. 15.Nov.2007 Tödlicher Taser- Einsatz: "Schieß noch mal, schieß noch mal" 15.Nov.2007 PKK- Konflikt: Türkei bereitet Einsatz im Nord- Irak vor (Politik) 15.Nov.2007 Kraftwerks- Ranking: Wo die größten Dreckschleudern der Welt stehen 15.Nov.2007 Atomstreit: IAEA sieht verbesserte Zusammenarbeit mit Iran 15.Nov.2007 Kriegsfolgen: US- Armee beklagt mehr Veteranen- Selbstmorde als Gefallene im Irak 15.Nov.2007 Ungewöhnlicher Dinosaurier: Nigersaurus - der Rasenmäher aus der Kreidezeit 15.Nov.2007 Abwehr: Militärbischof Mixa für Abschuss von Terror- Jets 15.Nov.2007 Muslim- Mapping in Los Angeles: Die kartografierte Pseudo- Gefahr 15.Nov.2007 Negativrekord: Kinderarmut steigt dramatisch an 15.Nov.2007 Folge der Globalisierung: Exotische Spinnen erobern Europa 15.Nov.2007 Deutschland- Start: YouTube- Filter schlampt bei Nazi- Filmen 15.Nov.2007 'Sub-prime black hole is getting scarier' : Blackstone's president warned that the sub-prime crisis on Wall Street was getting "deeper, darker and scarier" yesterday as the US private equity firm posted a loss for the third quarter, hit by a fall in real-estate revenues and charges related to its initial public offering. yAnother Money Market Fund Bailout: This Time Bank of America : Yesterday, we reported on a money market fund bailout by Wachovia.

Der Japanische Verteidigungsminister sieht das offenbar ähnlich. THE DEFENCE MINISTER of Japan announced today that he fully supports tracking senior defence officials 24/7. The idea was sparked after it was realised that a top defence ministry bloke had accepted a ton of gifts, including about 200 golf trips from an arms dealer. Monitoring other officials will be carried out via satellite, checking where GPS phone-kitted officials are at all times. Sehr schöne Initiative.

Doch andere Untersuchungen bei Tieren und Menschen zeigen, dass auch Umweltbedingungen einen starken Einfluss auf die endgültige Ausprägung des Gehirns haben. Wird ein Kind von seiner Mutter oder einer anderen Person stark unterstützt, sinkt das Risiko für Gewalttätigkeiten auch bei Menschen, die entsprechende Anlagen haben. Stress und Misshandlung erhöhen es jedoch. Frank hofft, dass seine Erkenntnisse künftig dabei helfen können, aggressive Jugendliche zu behandeln. Bildgebende Verfahren zur Überwachung des Gehirns sollten aber immer nur in Ergänzung mit einer Therapie durchgeführt werden. "Ich glaube sehr daran, dass wir Biologie und Verhalten verändern können", meint Frank, der auch Psychotherapeut ist.

Nabbed in the raid was Pedro Alfonso Alatorre Damy, identified by authorities as the major money launderer for Mexico’s Pacific Cartel, sometimes called the Sinaloa Cartel, as well as the New Federation, run by fugitive Mexican kingpin Juan “Shorty” Guzman. Both the DC9 airliner (N900SA) busted with 5.5 tons of cocaine 18 months ago and the Gulfstream II (N987SA) business jet which crash-landed with 4 tons of cocaine had been purchased by Alatorre with laundered drug money from his “Cambio de Pueblo” currency exchanges, said a statement Friday from Mexico’s Attorney General Office. 13.Nov.2007 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ This story says that Alatorre was nabbed while attempting to carry out a transaction with a Chicago bank for $2.7 million. In addition to that business, says Hopsicker, "23 accounts at the Wachovia Bank of Miami containing $11 million were frozen by U. S. authorities." Representing Casa de Cambio in Miami, for example, is famed “white powder” attorney Frank Rubino, a former Secret Service agent who once protected Richard M. Nixon in Key Biscayne, Fl., then later the lawyer for Medellin kingpin Carlos Lehder. Most recently he has been the chief lawyer for Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega. "At least $ 11 million of Noriega's fortune came from U.S. intelligence agencies," Rubino stated during the trial. “He dealt directly with the CIA, the NSA (National Security Agency) and various military intelligence.” 19.Feb.2006 https://theprogressivemind.info/2006/02/another-day-in-empire-saddam-tapes.html Another Day in the Empire Saddam Tapes Tainted by Cherney Foundation 13.Nov.2007 https://theprogressivemind.info/2006/02/another-day-in-empire-saddam-tapes.html See original ... 13.Nov.2007 https://theprogressivemind.info/2006/02/another-day-in-empire-saddam-tapes.html As a “Russian oligarch,” Cherney, also known as Mikhail Chernoy, “along with several other oligarchs, cornered the Russian aluminum industry under Yeltsin in the 1990’s through bribery and murder. As he is under indictment for these crimes in Russia, he has taken refuge in Israel. Recently Cherney was indicted in Israel for money-laundering and fraudulent receiving evidence for his part in the purchase of a 20% stake in state-run phone company Bezeq. Mr. Cherney has been associated with a number of international fraudsters, including Marc Rich of the New York Bank scandal. The Cherney Foundation is seen by Israeli investigators as a public relations ruse,” according to a Colorado Congressman Bob Beauprez Q&A. Is it possible the Saddam tapes are a “public relations ruse” as well? It is curious, however, to watch Straussian neocons, infested with the lice of war crimes, run away from the likes of a scumbag such as Mikhail Chernoy, obviously a bird of a feather. 13.Nov.2007 https://theprogressivemind.info/2006/02/another-day-in-empire-saddam-tapes.html But instead of worrying about Israel and its bulging weapons of mass destruction arsenal—and its apparent desire to use nukes against its enemies, who are considered little more than cockroaches and beasts walking on two legs—we are distracted by a questionable Saddam videotape and a few comments, taken out of context and hysterically blown all out of proportion, by the anti-Zionist president of Iran. 13.Nov.2007 https://theprogressivemind.info/2006/02/another-day-in-empire-saddam-tapes.html “The Israeli government is preparing to use nuclear weapons in its next war with the Islamic world. Here where I live, people often talk of the Holocaust. But each and every nuclear bomb is a Holocaust in itself. It can kill, devastate cities, destroy entire peoples,” Mordechai Vanunu stated in a December, 2005, interview. 13.Nov.2007 https://theprogressivemind.info/2006/02/another-day-in-empire-saddam-tapes.html Meanwhile, a new propaganda campaign directed against the next target is going famously. “The World Jewish Congress has launched a campaign against Iran following the nuclear crisis and the anti-Semitic statements of Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,” Haaretz reported on February 10. “In its biannual gathering in Jerusalem on Thursday the WJC called on Jewish communities throughout the world to pressure their governments to act against the Iranian nuclear program and urge economic and political sanctions against Iran,” in other words attack Iran for nukes it does not have and will not have for a decade or more, according to experts not on the Israeli-Straussian neocon payroll. Rabbi Israel Singer, chairman of the WJC’s Policy Council, “said Jewish communities around the world must make it clear to their governments that the Iranian regime threatens not only the Jews with its utterances and nuclear activity, but all the countries in the world.” 13.Nov.2007 https://theprogressivemind.info/2006/02/another-day-in-empire-saddam-tapes.html None of this matters because it is all beyond the intellectual capacity of the average American, unable to break out of the Borg hive mentality of corporate media as it hucksters Straussian neocon and Jabotinsky Israeli propaganda. 13.Nov.2007 https://theprogressivemind.info/2006/02/another-day-in-empire-saddam-tapes.html 00.000.1998 he was barred from Bulgaria for an alleged plot to assassinate the son of a Cabinet minister. The information originally was passed on by Israeli law enforcement authorities, who later rescinded the claim.” In short, the alleged Saddam tapes, supposedly revealing how Hussein attempted to hide his desire to kick start a weapons of mass destruction program (+ thus lending credence to the war crimes of the Straussian neocons), are tainted by the criminal background of “one of the summit’s biggest donors, Michael Cherney,” obviously an Israeli agent proffering dubious goods even hang tough Straussian neocons back away from, smelling a rat. 13.Nov.2007 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ For a real mind-blower, read the post below this one -- and then read this.) 13.Nov.2007 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ In closing: Here's a little nugget from Hopsicker about the Skyway jet -- something I may not have mentioned before: The DC9 airliner was also used, without reimbursement, during the first-time Senatorial campaign of Florida Republican Senator Mel Martinez, who until recently was President George W Bush’s handpicked chairman of the national Republican Party.

"Wir werden solche Dinge auch in Zukunft produzieren." 13.Nov.2007 Planetenerforschung: Mars- Fähre soll Hightech- Monstrum abseilen 13.Nov.2007 Somalia: Massen- Exodus aus Mogadischu (Politik) 13.Nov.2007 Forschung in islamischen Ländern: Wissenschaft im Namen Allahs 13.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/natur/0,1518,druck-516942,00.html Eine gestern in Rom vorgestellte Studie des Weltenergierates WEC zeigt, wie schwer der Kampf gegen die Erderwärmung noch werden dürfte. Denn der Energiebedarf der Menschheit steigt und steigt - und könnte sich bis 2050 verdoppeln. Der WEC-Prognose zufolge wird sich die globale Nachfrage nach Strom, Öl, Gas und Kohle um 70 bis 100 Prozent erhöhen. 13.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/natur/0,1518,druck-516942,00.html Der Weltenergierat prognostiziert einen Nachfrageanstieg um 70 bis 100 Prozent bis zum Jahr 2050. Die Folgen: Öl-, Gas- und Strompreise werden weiter steigen - genauso wie der CO2-Ausstoß. 13.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/0,1518,druck-517019,00.html Gestern hat der australische Diplomat Mike Smith sein neues Amt als Direktor des UNO-Ausschusses zur Terrorismusbekämpfung angetreten, heute erklärt er, warum das Netz stärker kontrolliert werden muss: "Früher mussten Extremisten Grenzen überqueren, um Anschläge zu planen", sagte Smith der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters. 13.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/0,1518,druck-517019,00.html Von konkreten Überwachungsmaßnahmen sprach Smith nicht: "Das Internet ist eine echte Sorge und ich denke, wir haben die Antwort noch nicht gefunden." Smith sprach nur vage von "einer Reihe von Strategien". 13.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-516929,00.html Menschen falsche Erinnerungen einzupflanzen ist ganz einfach. 13.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-516929,00.html "Die neuralen Korrelate von richtigen und falschen Erinnerungen sind klar unterschiedlich", schreiben die Psychologen im "Journal of Neuroscience" (Bd. 27, S. 12190). Möglicherweise sei die frontoparietale Region stärker mit einem Gefühl der Vertrautheit verknüpft, während die medialen Temporallappen (MTL) mehr mit tatsächlichem Wiedererkennen zu tun hätten. Schon im vergangenen Jahr hatte Cabeza mit anderen Kollegen im gleichen Journal einen Artikel veröffentlicht, das zu einem ähnlichen Schluss kam: "MTL kann objektive Unterschiede zwischen alten und neuen Inhalten entdeckten, die dem Bewusstsein nicht zugänglich sind." 13.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-516929,00.html "Die bloße Tatsache", schrieben Roediger und McDermott der Menschheit ins Stammbuch, "dass Menschen sagen, dass sie sich genau an Details erinnern, die mit einem Ereignis zusammenhängen, kann für sich genommen nicht als überzeugender Beleg dafür gelten, dass dieses Ereignis tatsächlich stattgefunden hat". 13.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-516929,00.html Zudem waren sich die Versuchspersonen bei diesen völlig falschen Urteilen oft ausgesprochen sicher. Von einer "verblüffenden Gedächtnisillusion" sprachen die beiden Forscher damals. 13.Nov.2007 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-516929,00.html Ein moderner Klassiker: Verschollen im Kaufhaus "False Memories", falsche Erinnerungen, heißt seitdem ein ganzes Forschungsgebiet - das Juristen ebenso interessiert wie Psychologen. Kathleen McDermott und Henry Roediger, zwei Forscher, die Mitte der neunziger Jahre an der Rice University im texanischen Houston forschten, haben eine simple Standardmethode zum Erzeugen solcher falscher Erinnerungen entwickelt, oder besser wiederentdeckt. Schon im Jahr 1959 hatte der US-Psychologe James Deese eine erstaunliche Entdeckung gemacht. Deese gab seinen Versuchspersonen Wortlisten zum Auswendiglernen. Auf den Listen standen beispielsweise Begriffe wie "Stechen, Spitze, Spritze, Heuhaufen, Faden, Injektion". Ein mit all den Begriffen verknüpftes Wort fehlte jedoch - im vorliegenden Beispiel "Nadel". Bat Deese seine Probanden anschließend, die Listen wiederzugeben, nannten sie viele korrekte Begriffe - und sehr oft auch das Wort "Nadel", obwohl es gar nicht auf der Liste gestanden hatte.
