Angra Arab schildert Saudi/VAR Besonderheiten: I have never seen a climate of fear and intimidation in Arab media and social media like this
Saudi and UAE regimes are going nuts. Their media are a festival of crude and vulgar propaganda. But what you will never see in the English language version of UAE/Saudi propaganda is that they attack Qatar for being close to Israel. And in English, they attack Qatar for being close to Hamas.
In den arabischsprachigen Regime-Medien greifen sie offenbar Katar an "nahe bei Israel" zu stehen, auf Englisch greifen sie Katar dafür an, Hamas-nahe zu sein.
Tröstlich: Es gibt gewichtigere Kreise, die meine Einstellung zu dem "Problem Facebook" teilen, dort DARING FIREBALL (englisch)
" .. It's .. killing the web"
Sag ich doch.
via https://blog.fdik.org/2017-06/s1496342079 - mit Zitatübersetzung, gut:
«Behandelt Facebook wie das Privatgrundstück hinter einer Mauer, das es auch ist. Falls Ihr etwas veröffentlicht wissen wollt, macht das auf einem echten Blog auf irgend einer Plattform im echten Web, dem freien.»
It is quite telling about the restrictive political atmosphere of the US that Noam Chomsky is a frequent guest more in foreign mainstream media than in US mainstream media. mal wieder Angry Arab - simple Beobachtung, überwiegend treffend, ..
- nur, die "foreign Media" mit Chomsky sind nach meinem Eindruck auch nicht unbedingt "Mainstream" ..
Aber immerhin, hierzulande hat bei zumindest interessierten Kreisen Chomsky einen guten Namen (siehe z.B. actvism)
via angry arab - es gibt offensichtlich Leute, die ihr das übel nehmen.
wörtlich als Text:"In case you didn't know, the United States funds and arms terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS when it needs them to disrupt a country."
"Falls sie es nicht wußten, die USA finanzierten und bewaffneten teroristische Gruppen wie Al Qaeda und ISIS wenn sie es nötig fanden ein Land zu zerstören.
Angry Arab, wieder mal, er zitiert eine arabische Bloggerin dankenswerterweise auf Englisch1, wohl wissend dass er keine der widersprüchlichen Angaben prüfen kann:
Physicians without Borders said three days ago that there are only "four out of eight" hospitals functioning in East Aleppo and that they were bombed. Aljazeera claimed that there are six hospitals functioning. The Guardian said that there are three hospitals left in East Aleppo, and that one of the three was bombed by Russian and Syrian regime. This number clashes with the number of Physicians without Borders. CNN, on the other hand, said that there is one hospital left in East Aleppo still functioning out of four and mentioned a 3rd hospital bombed. The hospital mentioned by CNN is not listed by Physicians without Borders. Huffington Post listed five hospitals in East Aleppo which are still functioning which also clash with other counts. But a month prior, Huffington Post has mentioned three hospitals in East Aleppo. But the local committees of the Syrian rebels said TWO MONTHS ago that that there are no hospitals left anymore in East Aleppo, but the same committee later said that two functioning hospitals were bombed. And those same committees were the major source of "news" from East Aleppo for Western media. As for the notorious Liz Sly (who basically takes the propaganda of Syrian rebels and produces it in English) of the Washington Post, she wrote on Sep. 28 that there are six remaining hospitals in East Aleppo. But six days later, Liz Sly mentioned eight remaining hospitals (the number of Physicians without Borders). And that is how the truth is disseminated about the news from Syria in Western media.
1. ... dankenswerterweise ...: statt auf Arabisch, falls das jemand mißversteht.
es sollen über 5 FB-Gruppen gewesen sein. Anonyme Denunziation funktioniert dort.
Update, andere Baustelle, passt gerade: http://www.heise.de/tp/artikel/48/48105/
"Da es von Facebook keine Listen gibt, aus denen hervorgeht, was genau verboten ist und was nicht, sind Fotodokumentationen zu türkeikritischen Demonstrationen in Deutschland auf Facebook unmöglich geworden," resümiert er. Das ist schließlich auch das Ziel der türkischen Justiz und der Regierung.
... wobei, doch, hierzulande gibt sich "jung & naiv" redlich Mühe mit solchen Fragen - und der klassischen Antwortwiederholung eines Regierungssprechers: "Ich habe dem nichts hinzuzufügen" (Link zu y**tube ;() ...
Currently, the governments of 15 countries are bombing Syria. They include seven allied NATO countries: US, UK, France, Turkey, Canada, Belgium, and Netherlands. They also include non-NATO allies of the United States: Israel, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, and Australia; and most recently, Russia.
As Trade Commissioner, Cecilia Malmström occupies a powerful position in the apparatus of the EU.
.... when I asked the trade commissioner how she could continue her persistent promotion of the deal in the face of such massive public opposition, her response came back icy cold: “I do not take my mandate from the European people.”
Angry Arab mal wieder, hier als Zeitungskommentar. Leider nur englisch, Übersetzung wäre wohl lohnend.
Yet, Western political hypocrisy was too visible to ignore. Western governments championed, armed, and defended tooth and nail the tyrannical polygamist dynasties of the Gulf and in the regimes of Jordan and Morocco. But the US was quite vigilant in pressing for free elections in countries where the governments are not clients of the US. The US pushed for elections in Iran, but not in Saudi Arabia, in Syria but not in Jordan, etc..
The elections in Algeria in 1991 made the intentions of the West clear. Western governments support free elections only if the results are consistent with Western political and economic interests. When the Algerian military junta cancelled the results of the elections, Western governments rushed to reward the anti-democratic rulers with weapons and financial assistance. And in 2006, after several years of redundant rhetoric by Bush officials about the desirability of free elections for the Palestinians (and the elections were not free as money from the US, UK, and Gulf regimes were pumped into the coffers of Fatah) the Bush administration lobbied the world to disregard the results of the elections, and even engineered (just as in 1953 in Iran) a coup by Mohammed Dahlan to take over power by force (Hamas was smarter, and preempted the coup). ..
Übrigens .. die Ukraine geht analog: Wenn eine demokratisch gewählte Regierung nicht passt, ist das schnell mal viele Milliarden wert, die für den Umsturz ins Land gebracht werden ...
Jeb Bush yesterday strongly suggested he was running for President in 2016. If he wins the GOP nomination, it is highly likely that his opponent for the presidency would be Hillary Clinton.
Having someone who is the brother of one former president and the son of another run against the wife of still another former president would be sweetly illustrative of all sorts of degraded and illusory aspects of American life, from meritocracy to class mobility. That one of those two families exploited its vast wealth to obtain political power, while the other exploited its political power to obtain vast wealth, makes it more illustrative still: of the virtually complete merger between political and economic power, of the fundamentally oligarchical framework that drives American political life. ..
Dieser Artikel fiel mir vor allem durch seinen Titel auf, der plötzlich so einleuchtend klingt: Washington plays Russian roulette von Pepe Escopar in der Asian Times.
P. Escopar zitiert auch "...The propaganda attack against Putin equating him with Hitler is so extreme that you have to think that the Russians cannot believe their ears and cannot trust the United States anymore under any circumstances.
I cannot believe how we could have gotten ourselves into this situation to protect the looters in the Ukraine that Putin would have rid the Ukraine of, and even had the gall to place in a leadership role one of the worst of the thieves. ..."
und ... - but it's a perfectly logical extension, further on down the road, of what the Russian president intimated in his already legendary interview with Germany's ARD in Vladivostok last week: the West is provoking Russia into a new Cold War. ... .. Weiterlesen!
hier erst mal Anlaß für eine 20 Jahre alte Aufnahme (kein Trost für die traurige Geschichte, aber für mich sehens/hörenswert)
Bei GreenleftWeekly gibt es mehr dazu
Washington's role in the fascist putsch against an elected government in Ukraine will surprise only those who watch the news and ignore the historical record. Since 1945, dozens of governments, many of them democracies, have met a similar fate, usually with bloodshed. ...
"Die", nämlich USA und Partner, wissen was sie tun: Ihre kontinuierlichen Angriffe sorgen für Nachschub und Verstärkung antiamerikanischer Haltungen und gewährleisten ebenso die Rekrutierung entsprechender kampfbereiter Kräfte:
"At this point, it’s more rational to say they do all of this not despite triggering those outcomes, but because of it. Continuously creating and strengthening enemies is a feature, not a bug. It is what justifies the ongoing greasing of the profitable and power-vesting machine of Endless War."
Die Fortsetzung der Gewalt ist kein "Fehler", es ist beabsichtigt.
Und weil ich schon dabei bin, die ebenso starke Analyse:
" ..There are many reasons the U.S. shouldn’t go to war with the Islamic State — and the best one may be because that is exactly what they want us to do."
"In other words, the more jihadis Obama kills, the more Sunnis that Obama recruits to their ranks. Not a winning strategy."
Ein Smartphone als politisches Statement? Scheint etwas übertrieben, aber exklusiv erscheint es mir doch: Das Fairpone gibt es nur in Europa, bisher nur auf Vorbestellung (= Vorauszahlung vor der Fertigungsaufnahme!), und noch mehr snobistische ;-) Eigenheiten (rooted!), natürlich mit eigenem Tagging: #WeAreFairphone
Jedenfalls: Ab jetzt gibt es das Teil ab Lager Niederlande zur kurzfristigen Lieferung , fast nur noch die Zahlungsabwicklung als Zeitfaktor1.
Meins bekam ich vor kurzem - läuft bestens und sieht auch so aus - Empfehlung!
Mehr Erfahrungsbericht sobald ich Zeit finde.
Übrigens, netter Effekt:
Die letzten drei Monate war der Bestelleingang ziemlich konstant bei grob 80/Tag (Europaweit!) - auf der Shopseite wird laufend die aktuell bestellte Zahl angezeigt.
Kaum daß die Vorbestellungen "abgearbeitet" waren, haben sich die "Bestellungen pro Tag" verdoppelt - meine persönliche "Hochrechnung" wie lange die Teile noch lieferbar sind hat sich so drastisch verkürzt.
1.Aus dem Forum: "Whoaa, that's super-impressive (specially compared to my earlier delivery): I paid the day before yesterday, and today I receive the tracking number for the parcel!"
They call us now.
Before they drop the bombs.
The phone rings
and someone who knows my first name
calls and says in perfect Arabic
“This is David.”
And in my stupor of sonic booms and glass shattering symphonies
still smashing around in my head
I think “Do I know any Davids in Gaza?”
They call us now to say
Run.
You have 58 seconds from the end of this message.
Your house is next.
They think of it as some kind of
war time courtesy.
It doesn’t matter that
there is nowhere to run to.
It means nothing that the borders are closed
and your papers are worthless
and mark you only for a life sentence
in this prison by the sea
and the alleyways are narrow
and there are more human lives
packed one against the other
more than any other place on earth
Just run.
We aren’t trying to kill you.
It doesn’t matter that
you can’t call us back to tell us
the people we claim to want aren’t in your house
that there’s no one here
except you and your children
who were cheering for Argentina
sharing the last loaf of bread for this week
counting candles left in case the power goes out.
It doesn’t matter that you have children.
You live in the wrong place
and now is your chance to run
to nowhere.
It doesn’t matter
that 58 seconds isn’t long enough
to find your wedding album
or your son’s favorite blanket
or your daughter’s almost completed college application
or your shoes
or to gather everyone in the house.
It doesn’t matter what you had planned.
It doesn’t matter who you are
Prove you’re human.
Prove you stand on two legs.
Run.
ist ja nur ein englischer Songtext, aber auch ein praktischer Slogan ...
Keep your eyes on the prize, ignore the boss’s lies, and agitate, educate, and organize.
Through thick and thin you’ve gotta have tough skin to agitate, educate, and organize.
Ohhh there ain’t no other way, raise hell without delay, and agitate, educate, and organize.
It’s class struggle to the end, it’s up to me and you friends to agitate, educate, and organize!
