Fisk on Torturers

Why do torturers really like to film their misdeeds?

"And we must forget, of course, that other American pictures from Abu Ghraib, which Obama the Good has decided we must not see, show the rape of Iraqi women and boys."

"Help Solve an Open Murder Case"

It's certainly a good idea to ask the public for help if specialists (in this case cryptologists) can't get on with a solution to a problem.

On June 30, 1999, Ricky McCormick was found dead. He had been murdered and dumped in a field in Missouri. The only clues regarding this incident were two encrypted notes found with the victim. The FBI is asking the public for help (click here).

Also in science it is not unusual to ask for help: see Foldit - Solve Puzzles for Science. Only in the realm of politics it is still kind of "against the rules" to ask the public for help ...

1963: Dönitz spricht vor Schülern

Hitlers Nachfolger, Großadmiral Karl Dönitz, verherrlichte die deutsche Wehrmacht vor Schülern eines Gymnasiums nahe Hamburg: "Wie konnte es sein, dass ein in Nürnberg zu zehn Jahren Haft verurteilter Kriegsverbrecher Schülern ungefiltert seine Sicht der Dinge präsentieren durfte? Wussten die Schüler, dass sie die rechte Hand Hitlers vor sich sitzen hatten, der nach dessen Selbstmord die Regierungsgeschäfte des "Dritten Reichs" übernommen hatte? Waren sie ausreichend auf die Fragestunde vorbereitet worden?"
Basierend auf dem preisgekrönten Beitrag "Die Dönitz-Affäre - Der Großadmiral und die kleine Stadt" für den Geschichtswettbewerb des Bundespräsidenten "Aufsehen, Empörung, Ärgernis: Skandale" 2010/2011 von Schülern des Otto-Hahn-Gymnasiums Geesthacht

Fox News: Poor Trickery on the Poor

Before you read this, you should watch the video in order to find out how you would have reacted to the Fox News trickery with numbers.

15% of the American population living below the poverty line;
16% of the entire federal budget being spent on the poor;
9% of Americans have some kind of substance dependence, most of them cannot earn a living.
------------------------
Implicitly suggested conclusion: The American state spends overwhelmingly much on the poor, most of which are addicts and therefor unable to work for their own living.

These "facts" leave more questions open than Mr. O'Reilly dreams of: 1) What is it exactly which is spent on the poor (and not to the wealthy)? 2) Which substances are meant, medicinal substances, coffee, nicotine, alcohol, illegal drugs? How many upper class people are addicts? 3) How much does addiction contribute to low income and how many people had low income BEFORE they've got lost in some kind of addiction?

This is what Fox honestly calls "journalism" but what is in fact nothing more than the inventing and nursing of prejudices.

The Party is Over for Wall Street Protesters

"New York City police began removing the Occupy Wall Street protesters about 1 a.m. Tuesday, saying any demonstrators who did not leave would be arrested."

Still in the eighties of the last century you could find lots of beggars in Manhattan, if you remember; then they were gone, they were banned. Salesmen and shop owners had been complaining about these subjects disturbing their businesses. It's not essentially different to banning now the protesters from Zuccotti Park, because the current financial and economic system just does not need these subjects, they're just annoying ... all those "leftists eating sushi and smoking nargilas" as they were called in Israel, if you can't get a job, why don't you move to Mumbai as suggested by British Rail minister Theresa Villiers? Of yourse, they may go on protesting and guitar playing in the beautiful woods of Oregon ...

Surprising Silence on "Netanyahu the Liar"?

Not much mentioning in Israeli news of Sarkozy calling Netanyahu a liar. Could be sticking to ethical guidelines of journalism, could be something else? In a Jewish Week blog though, there were mentioned additional skeptics towards the current prime minister: Angela Merkel recently and much earlier Bill Clinton as recalled by top US Mideast negotiator Dennis Ross:

Ross described a meeting in Washington with Netanyahu shortly after he became prime minister the first time in 1996. "In the meeting with President Clinton, Netanyahu was nearly insufferable, lecturing and telling us how to deal with the Arabs." Ross recounts that afterwards a frustrated President Clinton remarked, "He thinks he is the superpower and we are here to do whatever he requires."  Ross added, "No one on our side disagreed with that assessment."

update 2011-11-14
first mention in Haaretz: Why should anyone believe Netanyahu?

"During the course of a condolence visit to one of the Jewish settlements at the end of the 1990s, Netanyahu bragged that he had succeeded in deceiving the Clinton administration during his first term as prime minister, in order to destroy the Oslo Accords. Believing the microphones and cameras had been turned off, Netanyahu related how he had extorted from the Clinton administration, in exchange for the Hebron agreement, a promise that Israel would be the sole entity entitled to define what the "military sites" are that will remain under its control. With a sly smile spread across his face, Bibi added: "I said that as far as I am concerned the entire Jordan Valley is a defined military site," and explained: "Why is this important? Because from that moment I stopped the Oslo Accords.""

Whom Can You Have Toying With WMD?

So what's the exact difference between Ayatollahs, Pakistani, Indians, Israelis and Americans playing with nuclear WMD? Some of them have already used them against civilians? Some of them secretly possess them without permisssion? Some of them want to obtain them, too?

 Netanyahu: "You Can't Have Ayatollahs Toying With Atom Bombs"

Btw "Netanyahu", here's yesterday's distich, world-famous today:

English:
Sarkozy:  "I can't stand him. He's a liar."
Obama: "You are sick of him, but I have to work with him every day."


Deutsch
Sarkozy: "Ich kann ihn nicht mehr sehen, er ist ein Lügner"
Obama: "Du bist ihn leid, aber ich habe jeden Tag mit ihm zu tun!"

Rücktritt Berlusconis hing in der Luft

Nachdem der tschechische Außenminister Karl Schwarzenberg die monetäre Krise der südeuropäischen Staaten,  mit besonderer Berücksichtigung Italiens unter Berlusconi folgendermaßen kommentiert hatte: 

"Leider hat Berlusconi die Zeit durchgevögelt, statt sie für Reformen zu nutzen"

war klar, daß die Zeit Berlusconis abgelaufen war. Kein Diplomat würde sich so äußern, wenn er nicht sicher wäre, daß ihm keine Konsequenzen mehr drohen.  Gestern trat der Cavaliere dann zurück.

German: Ein Mann "kauft" einen US-Bundesstaat

Gene Sharp & Otpor

Krude Verschwörungsstheorie, infantile Reinterpretation der Geschichte der Revolutionen, einschließliche des Arabischen Frühlings? In diesem Video wird behauptet, die USA hätten so gut wie alle gewaltfreien Widerstände und Revolutionen der letzten Zeit finanziell und moralisch gesteuert - mit Hilfe der Theorie des gewaltfreien Widerstands von Gene Sharp und Gruppen wie der serbischen Otpor. Seltsam, wenn man daran denkt, daß Mubarak einer der besten Gefolgsleute der USA waren ... warum hätten sie irgendeinen Grund haben sollen, ihn zu entfernen?
