The following video that I just found on the net is the worst oil spill the documentation that I saw so far:
I have no words ...
BP is supposed to remove such videos.
The following documentation also contributed to that report.
A British journalist speaks with local survivors of the oil rig disaster. These people had been virtually no presence in the media, and if you listen to what they tell us about the topic, you know why ... (more ...)
In principle, we probably all know the importance of honey bees. But the numbers are always impressive nonetheless:
More than 80,000 beekeepers are still in Germany, but they have, and that is worrisome, with an average age of 65. There is a lack of young beekeepers and the inside.
1952, there were only 182 000 beekeepers in Western Germany with 2.1 million bee colonies.
In 1972 there were 87 100 beekeepers with more than one million people.
The last census of the German Beekeepers' Association, based in Wachtberg near Bonn in 2009 revealed a number of 81 500 members with about 614 000 people.
A worrying trend in total! (more ...)
Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (Source: NASA)
Yesterday I was online zeitgeist quite sober with the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is concerned , today I'll do it at this point very emotional - and ask myself some questions, which can probably be answered in the least.
Who, like me, has read almost every book as a child of Karl May Winnetou's death and shed hot tears, of course, knows that the white man speaks with forked tongue, and often does evil, the noble red man, however, is often.
Nearly every morning I go the same route along the river, my dog a few yards in front of me or behind me. Almost always, I feel already the place where he sits on the riverbank, watching his dog. He is an extremely short stature, compact South American Indian, under his red baseball cap that appears to be growing as a head, the back falls out a deep black braid. The man was a musician and is now available for anyone guardian dogs, a small tuber impressive energy with a rolling "R".
"One Mother Earth has shot in the abdomen," he says shortly and grimly, "now she is bleeding to death."
Well, we can see that well. But how do you get this just to stop bleeding?
"The earth is their blood and water voluntarily. Anything that keeps them still hidden deep down is not good for man brings evil, "he says still. (more ...)
3.2.2010 was published online on WORLD-infamous call to the WORLD-author Daniel Pipes, "Obama should bomb Iran." A particularly blatant and disgusting case of incitement to war in a German media. WORLD-author Pipes recommended the bombing specifically to improve the poor approval ratings of American presidents.
At this point I had in the WORLD article, and then also my complaint letter to the German Press Council 4.2.2010.
In this I pointed out that the WORLD is to call a war of aggression by the Basic Law does not yet covered by existing press code.
And:
"As a German, it fills me with particular shame that 65 years after the end of the 2nd World war from German soil, that is, by a German newspaper [THE WORLD-line], may be again called for a war of aggression. Resist the beginnings! "
Today I received mail from the German Press Council now that the Board of 4.2.2010 had been answered at last on 06/24/2010. Here is the text of the letter: (more ...)
Tiger cubs
A sad truth, previously repressed, came through the initiative of the "Federal Association of People for Animal Rights" in the headlines: Surplus, unused animals in zoos are often killed simply for reasons of space only (population management by killing).
The animal rights organization had stood on his hind legs after the Magdeburg Zoo was euthanized in May 2008, three viable tiger cubs, because her father was not a purebred Siberian tiger, but a genetic test some blood of the Sumatran Tigers had surrendered. (more ...)
Norman Finkelstein: contentious, controversial (Source: Ben Heine, Tlaxcala)
In the television channel "Russia Today" recently, a heated debate on the topic was "Gaza - who's to blame?" Broadcast:
Here we let loose between Professor Norman Finkelstein , a political scientist and son of Holocaust survivors, author of "The Holocaust Industry. As the suffering of the Jews is being exploited " and "Beyond Chutzpah: Israel, America and the abuse of history" and (his latest book) "A Farewell to Israel: The coming break-up of American Zionism" (German: "A Farewell to Israel: The coming break-up of American Zionism, "not yet translated) and Daniel Pollak, co-director of the Zionist Organization of America for governmental relations.
Here are some key points of the two contracting parties:
Finkelstein (F): "Israel has been guilty of serious Verbechen. The Gaza blockade is a flagrant violation of international law. "
Pollak (P): "The embargo and the inspection of goods to target Gaza are completely legal." Israel has a legal right to defend itself, since the Hamas rule in Gaza and has called for the killing of Jews.
Known to be an aid convoy with 10,000 tons of relief supplies and about 800 human rights activists had been boarded in international waters on board of special forces. It came from an Israeli perspective to provocations against the Israeli military, which ended with the deaths of nine activists. The movement "Free Gaza" had repeatedly stressed that it is completely illegal to lay siege to 1.5 million people to starve and be subjected to collective punishment. (more ...)
Earlier this month, the popular media (here an example of the trade paper) against the background of the "euro crisis," Iran plans to rebuild its foreign reserves. Just will the Iranian Central Bank (CBI) to redeploy € massively in favor of the dollar and gold. Because of the continued weakness of the euro plan is to sell about 45 billion euros, the share of the euro on the foreign exchange reserve should be reduced from 55% to 15-20%.
A somewhat strange message that, without question, of course, fits to the current "Euromiesmacherei". As bad as it is also about the Euro, you might think, even if the U.S. nemesis Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants to invest again in U.S. dollars! Cui bono? Certainly not the Europeans, because although introduced undemocratic and dictatorial, the euro is currently nunmal the currency in which our accounts are held ... (more ...)
Wolfgang Schorlau: The Munich conspiracy
I had been completely overlooked, that in Germany there is a political thriller-writer who just published his fifth book ( "The Munich conspiracy. Dengler's fifth case" , Kiepenheuer & Petrovich, 2009) and has invented to an investigator called George Dengler, The comparisons with other successful investigators of the crime scene does not need to fear.
Because I like the 5th Book of Dengler series started, I had to quickly give an account of how little I actually knew about the Oktoberfest bombing of 1980, which soon 30 Time marks.
This early German "9/11" now seems to have disappeared almost completely from public consciousness, even though it really is not so much from human as well as from most current reasons, it should be.
The terrible bombing on 26.09.1980, leaving the entrance of the Oktoberfest like a battlefield, 13 people died and over 200 were injured, 68 of them seriously people, they have since been defaced or continue to live with missing limbs. Nevertheless, the event looks to his victims as a "black hole" sink.
Wolfgang Schorlau so is the crime novelist, writes close to the wind, ie very close to the facts, would not that affect the plot somehow constructed. However, he also kept manageable. Just the idea that facts are just not fiction, but part of our past, but yesterday what has been handed to me already as a stress factor. Since it did not matter to me that the crime the characters presented designed just psychological. Or that in some places Schorlaus left background rather cliché comes along.
Of course, I was wondering how Schorlau came to his detailed knowledge of the facts and background. This question is answered at the very end of the book by him as follows: (more ...)
Honestly, I was looking forward on the deal: Since 1.6. By 2010 there Kopp Verlag online once a day news : read by Eva Hermann - one could get really nostalgic. And the first few days I was also pleased - actually messages that are otherwise not easy to find. This is sorely needed in Germany, are the most ill-informed country in the Western Hemisphere, where opinion is confused with a permanent message, the official news snippets from disparate information and anyone who wants information, consult the foreign media have anyway.
But on the fourth day of "bereavement" Eva Hermann announced the Gaza flotilla was led by a Turkish ship of a "terrorist organization", the "IHH". This was "confirmed Dutch secret service." The "eminent Danish Institute for International Studies" and the
I looked again to see where this "message" came and came across as Kopp-author Udo Ulfkotte, who is known for being happy and often etched against Islam, but also opponents must always admit that his statements usually well documented are.
First, it is surprising that Ulfkotte has no word of sympathy for the oppressed people of the blockaded Gaza Strip. The humanitarian situation there is intolerable, the illegal Israeli blockade, it is also an international full agreement. Forget it!
So now lay before actually yet another self-defense situation, so the fleet stopped and a few passengers - sorry, sorry - had to be shot (more ...)
Margot Kaessmann For President! (Source: wikimedia commons)
Horst Koehler has resigned. That was a coward, because Germany is in heavy waters, and a captain is not the first on board (even though he has not the main control in the hand).
Instead of reporting on important matters of world affairs, the press torments us now with a long page and post Politgemauschel Schacher narrowness of the parties, which for political retirees will now end up in the cemetery called "Schloss Bellevue".
How interesting! Actually, the President was directly elected by the people long ago!
***
When it comes to Kohler are the things (as so often) ambivalent. Yesterday I was talking a conversation with someone who knows some of Kohler's advisor and have frequent contacts with them. According to Koehler to have been months behind the scenes with the FDP and Merkel "gezofft" and more and more isolated feel. For the FDP, it was alleged by the tax cuts that Köhler was impracticable. With Merkel's CDU, the reduction of social charges and extended savings, whereas Köhler said to have announced his concerns. Lately, he should have used increasingly for the "turbine control", ie the taxation of financial transactions that Germany € 12 billion per. Could take years. Whether the information is correct, I can (still) do not check the source, however, seemed reputable. It is perhaps in hindsight can still hear something on the subject.
One thing is certain: Kohler had repeatedly campaigned for more direct democracy. About this issue I have with zeitgeist-an online article posted: "More direct democracy: a way out of growing political apathy and declining voter turnout?"
Koehler told the WORLD about direct election of the President by the people: "I think it is an expression of anxiety or uncertainty, when this issue immediately recalls Hindenburg."
In fact, the established time and again choke off votes, campaigning for the direct election of the President with the word "Hindenburg". What does it mean? I quote from the above mentioned article: (more ...)
Free Gaza flotilla: the "Mavi Marmara" (source: AP)
A flotilla of six ships with about 700 people from 32 different countries, including such well-known public figures such as the Irish Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire, the Swedish author Henning Mankell, European parliamentarians, including 3 German: the Left MPs Inge Hoeger and Annette Groth and former deputy Norman Paech and a Holocaust survivor ... a civilian enterprise in favor of the continued siege and still war-torn Gaza and its 1.5 million pent, the Israeli authorities on the content and composition of transportation notified in advance exactly medical supplies ..., building materials, wheel chairs, toys and much more is in international waters by 4 clock in the morning by special forces of the Israeli army attacked , from helicopters to abseil down fighters come from the sea armed, there exist only shaky video of the disaster:
freedomflotilla (Source: Free-Gaza.com)
Result: Previously called the figure of 20 dead and 50 to 80 injured. Accurate is not yet known.
Attacks on aid shipments to Gaza, it had previously been given, but without any media coverage, thankfully without casualties. What is different this time?
Is Israel simply by rotating it? "As allies are tyrants," or is there something else behind it: True to the motto?
Allow me to gather the following arguments in favor of the fact that this incredible violation of international law, a deliberate provocation was and is, at least have set off another Middle East war, when the chances of this happening after the Brazil-Turkey nuclear agreement with Iran A few days ago realized more and more are on the wane, the action threatens to close the window to be so.
The state of violence against a group of international human rights activists is now the culmination of a chain of Unliebsamkeiten and increasing deterioration of relations between Israel and Turkey.
In parallel, the first time Israel has suffered some deterioration in its relations with the United States suddenly found itself of its previous status as sankrosante Middle East power that stands above international law, their seemingly never-ending special status', bereft.
"Our relationship [with Israel] will never be the same again," citing the Turkish daily Hüriyet a spokesman of the ruling party AKP. (more ...)
