  • Spotify boycott: Artists leave ‘garbage hole’ platform after CEO invests in AI weapons

    Jump

  • Ukrainians are actually reporting the drones to be vastly overpriced compared to similar Ukrainian drones.

    Otherwise there is quite a few indications of corruption and it wouldn't be surprising if Helsing will become the next Wirecard, as Germany once again follows the fever dream of some billions-worth start-up without following up on what it actually can and cannot do.

    I highly recommend that read. Seems like Helsing's shooting star success is tied to having good contacts with the German defense ministry and Ursula von der Leyen, which both are indicators of corruption.

    Ukrainian soldiers report the drones to be vastly overpriced for what they are and drones costing less than a quarter of the Helsing drones to have similar capabilities.

    This sounds like another Wirecard scandal in the making, where the desperation of Germany to create some billion Euro startup is exploited by corrupt politicans and company owners. Given the context it also wouldn't be surprising if intelligence is involved.

    Ukrainians seem to be better of with domestically produced drones.

  • CDU-Bundestagsabgeordnete: Hat sich Caroline Bosbach Stimmen gekauft?

  • Ne, dafür muss man mindestens einen Millionenskandal haben. Ein paar Tausende, maximal ein paar Zehntausende sind da noch zu dünn.

  • Bundesverfassungsgericht: Brandenburgs Ministerpräsident plädiert für neue Richterkandidaten

    Jump

  • Das Problem ist halt, dass mindestens drei Parteien dabei nicht demokratisch mitspielen werden. AfD, CDU und CSU. Und diese Parteien machen mehr als 50% der Sitze im aktuellen Bundestag aus.

    Ich sehe keinen anderen Ausweg aus der Misere, als dass die SPD ernsthaft damit droht die Koalition platzen zu lassen, die Seeheimer alle rauszuwerfen und einen maximal Sozialpopulistischen und Antifaschistischen Wahlkampf zu machen, sollten die Kandidaten jetzt nicht von der Union getragen werden.

    Ich glaube nicht, dass unsere Demokratie noch ein weiteres Zugeständnis an Rechtsextreme überlebt.

  • Das ist einerseits völlig gegen alle Vernunft im Schach und andererseits eine sehr schlaue Beobachtung.

  • The Philippine Missile Crisis: U.S. Deployed Arms to the Philippines and No One Noticed But China

    Jump

  • And stop calling this escalation, china has been doing that for quite a while now.

    Escalation can be mutual and reciprocal.

    However as the article cautions, the Philippines should be wary of the US changing its mind and abandoning them, as the US has done with many "allies" before, after ramping up escalation.The US wants to contain China inside the islands. They are not interested in your countries, or any countries sovereignty unless it benefits the US. Any mayor power acts like this.

  • Iran drives out 1.5 million Afghans, with some branded spies for Israel

  • The 71 years old intelligence officer has a 40 years old son. And that 40 years old son has a 10 years old son...

    Loyalties to regimes or opposition against them are often inherited inside families.

  • The Philippine Missile Crisis: U.S. Deployed Arms to the Philippines and No One Noticed But China

    Jump

  • When the US stationed missiles in Turkiye and Italy, which could reach the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union returned the friendly gesture with stationing missiles in Cuba.

    Somehow in the west this is know as "Cuba missile crisis" and not as "Turkiye missile crisis" despite the US having started it.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis

    Arguably these were nuclear missiles, which is a level further, but the Typhon launchers are also nuclear capable.I have no doubts that the US would react in a similar fashion if Russia or China were to station comparable systems in Central America again.

  • Times of Israel poll: Narrow majority of Israelis oppose annexation of Gaza territory

    Jump

  • We don't know why the people opposed that.

    Last time Israelis settled in Gaza they gave it up 20 years ago, as the resistance made it too costly to maintain. By now a significant number of Israelis will know some IDF member who was killed or permanently injured when invading Gaza and the prospect of having hundreds of thousands of young men and women permanently lacking in the economy as they patrol Gaza, is not that enticing for many.

    I strongly doubt that humanitarian considerations have played a relevant role for most of the "pure" Israeli respondents. We have seen many polls over the past two years and before, where Palestinians have been completely dehumanized by the Israeli society and the public discourse only has grown more genocidal as the time moved on.

  • Iran drives out 1.5 million Afghans, with some branded spies for Israel

    Jump

  • The US and UK installed dictator, the so called Shah had close ties with Israel. Among other things Mossad trained the interior intelligence of the Shah, which has tortured, killed and disappeared tens of thousands of people. When the revolution ousted the Shah, his cronies held strong resentment and many of them readily do the bidding for Israel and other adversaries.

    As shown by some rather spectacular assassinations of Iranian military leaders, but also civilian scientists, or last year the assassination of the Hamas political chief in Tehran, it is evident that Mossad has quite a foothold in Iran.

    In regards to Afghanis, who had to flee with the Taliban retaking power, many of them are in a vulnerable position, and some of them had developed quite close ties to the US and other NATO countries during the occupation, so attempting to recruit Afghani refugees in Iran should also yield some success.

    All of this does not mean, that the regime in Iran isn't using the situation to scapegoat Afghanis and as a pretext to expel them. Both are true. There is Iranians and probably some Afghanis spying for Israel, and the Afghani refugees are facing unjustified persecution by the Iranian regime.

  • Far-right extremists using games platforms to radicalise teenagers, report warns

    Jump

  • I think i have seen articles like this also 15 years ago. I also remember tv "documentaries" about "killer games" in Germany from almost 20 years ago, where they tried to paint everyone playing FPS games as Nazis too. One argument was that there is call of duty mods that allow to show the original graphics, where WW2 Nazis have swastikas on their uniform, which have been censored in the German version.

    Extremists trying to recruit teenagers has been an issue since forever. As the "space" where teenagers spend their time moved online, so did the recruiting efforts.

    The problem is real, but it should not be tied to games, or to rock music or to sports or to any particular hobby. It is a problem encompassing all of society. Parents need to talk with their children and know what is going on in their lives.

  • Actually the reason is government repression and concerted media efforts. People have been protesting peacefully for decades to demand human and international rights to be upheld for the Palestinian people. People have been seeking nonviolent means such as boycott and divestment, only to be met with campaigns accusing that of being "antisemitic".

  • Israel is bombing Gaza with American bombs dropped from American Jets using American surveillance.

    Israel is blowing up houses with American anti-tank mines and bulldozing others with American bulldozers.

    Israel is protected from UN security council decisions thanks to American vetos.

    Israel is financed significantly by rich Americans and encourages Americans to help in ethnic cleansing and land stealing in Palestine, with about a third of the settlers in the Westbank being American citizens.

    Israeli lobby groups are telling American politicans what to do and what not to do, being a tolerated form of direct foreign influence and Israeli intelligence is likely involved in American elites raping American children around Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, to blackmail said elites to do the bidding of Israel.

  • Zukunft der Grünen - Özdemir warnt vor Linksruck - "bei unserem Kern bleiben"

    Jump

  • Die Grünen haben fast eine Million Wähler an die Linkspartei verloren. Zu Behaupten, dass die Grünen ihre Themen "mit linker Ideologie" vermischen würden, ist ein Schlag ins Gesicht für die Leute, die die Partei aufgebaut haben, und derer, die die Partei durch ihre Arbeit an der Basis überwiegend tragen.

    Ohne Menschen wie Hans-Christian Ströbele, der über drei Legislaturen das einzige Direktmandat der Partei im Bundestag hielt, wäre die Partei schon viel früher zu dem neoliberalen Zombie geworden, den sich Leute wie Özdemir wünschen. Wählbar sind die Grünen damit höchstens als Bio-FDP.

    Was Baerbock, Habeck, Özdemir, Künast & co. angerichtet haben, hat die Partei bei der BTW 2025 zu spüren bekommen, nachdem im September schon große Teile der Grünen Jugend weggebrochen sind.

  • Hungernde Kinder: Wie Gaza-Bilder instrumentalisiert werden - Zeigt ein Bild aus Gaza ein chronisch krankes Kind oder Opfer einer Hungersnot? ... Dabei schließt sich beides nicht aus.

    Jump

  • Ich weiß, dass Sachen zu Gaza eigentlich nicht hier hin sollen. Aus meiner Sicht geht es jedoch deutlich weiter, und betrifft den Zustand der deutschen Medien und Gesellschaft insgesamt.

    Der deutsche Journalisten-Verband verbreitet offenbar gemeinsam mit Bild und Nius Falschinformationen, und fordert darunter dann noch zynisch dazu auf, mehr Fact-Checking zu betreiben.

    Inwieweit sich der Journalisten-Verband hier selber aktiv beteiligt, um eine Kampagne zu betreiben, oder ob er sich nur von Axel-Springer und Julian Reichelt zum nützlichen Idioten machen lässt, ist unklar. Es wird jedoch deutlich, dass es unter eiunigen deutschen Journalisten noch immer den Wunsch gibt, an alten Glaubenssätzen über die Welt festzuhalten, anstatt diese kritisch und faktenbasiert zu hinterfragen.
