Transrapid-Flop: Stoiber surprised - Maget sarcastic - the blather of Stoiber and his ilk and how they complain about the poor industrial location of Germany. As if anything in Germany would depend on a nonsensical project like the magnetic levitation train - apart from the bribes for the politicians, of course.
politik - 26.4.2006 - 27.3.2008
How Hesse's state chief can continue to govern: Koch forever - the people of Hesse just can't vote. A few more votes against Koch and we would finally be rid of the guy. But no ...
Comment: Stasi statement a super-GAU for Die Linke - why the demand of a Left Party deputy of what the Interior Minister is diligently implementing should now be a super-GAU ... (ok, ok, I understand, the Left should distinguish itself argumentatively from the CDU - and whoever believes that there are significant differences between parties, for whom I have a cheap bridge in Brooklyn). The way in which the press is now stirring up this - admittedly stupid - statement, while at the same time a federal minister sworn in on the constitution tramples this constitution underfoot, is already highly embarrassing.
Steueraffäre: Mehr Fahnder und härtere Strafen gefordert - ah, right, it's election campaign. Only the stupid Westerwelle hasn't noticed again and quickly takes the side of the tax evaders. The real joke, however, is the appeal from the Union's mouthpiece Pofalla to the code of conduct and morality of the economy. I'm actually just waiting for an explicitly formulated "Tightening of tax law harms the economic location Germany" from some party blowhard. Preferably something from the allegedly left spectrum, for entertainment purposes.
Federal Fiscal Court: Commuting allowance reduction unconstitutional - the federal legislators are currently collecting unconstitutional things. When will they learn from this and listen to the experts who regularly predict exactly that? And when will Easter fall on Christmas?
CDU Hessen may have used internal school office data for election advertising - well, of course, the lists of explicit interested parties "all parents' and school parents' representatives, teachers, school staff councils, school principals, students, and student representatives" in this completeness are naturally freely available on the Internet. Of course, Mr. Boddenberg, we believe all of this. But if that is the case, then either an authority in Hesse has a massive hole, or someone else has a massive misunderstanding of data protection. Or they are simply just a liar? Wasn't an accusation, just a question ... (just "owled" because this negligence with internal databases is also how the party of the currently ruling - illegally - works, not the first time this happens. Every burglar covers their tracks better.)
Struck refuses to apologize to Koch - the Union's whining about the verbal beating Koch received is cute. Most of the insults from the Union camp towards other politicians are much harsher. It's always the same, those who can dish it out the most can take it the least. It's a shame that Struck, like any good Social Democrat, will surely cave in sooner or later - because the hate preacher from Hesse really doesn't deserve an apology ...
BGH declares control of letters in Hamburg to be unlawful - amusing how a SPD politician justifies the excessive action, contrary to the BGH's argumentation. How prolethicians repeatedly place themselves above the judiciary and the law is quite shocking. That the Social Democrats are right at the forefront of this is, of course, not surprising since Schily.
Bundestag approves agreement on the transfer of passenger data - how the prolethikers pat themselves on the back for the nonsense they spout. Disgusting.
Schäuble steps up software development - Golem.de - because the Interior Minister doesn't need to think about trivial matters like proportionality and constitutional compliance.
Zypries accuses critics of data retention of lacking expertise - reading such statements from the federal incompetence (some insist on calling her the Federal Minister of Justice) is quite amusing. If we talk about lack of expertise here, then this first and foremost applies to our politicians, who are completely ignorant of facts and realities. When she then makes such an accusation, among other things, to the Federal Data Protection Commissioner, it only becomes ridiculous.
US-Election computers cannot guarantee trustworthy elections - this will certainly be completely ignored. Because, it's only about elections.
Zypries intensifies criticism of online raids - hmm. Are there elections coming up somewhere? Or is the ongoing discussion just an expression of the summer doldrums?
Schäuble demands "detention", internet and mobile ban for "potential threats" - I demand detention, internet and speaking ban for crazy politicians. We could just build a wall around the government district ...
Union threatens ARD and ZDF with advertising ban - because the public broadcasting internet offering is so terribly threatening. Or are the private media industry's donation funds just speaking again?
Karlsruhe: Lawmakers must disclose secondary incomes for the first time - well, that's something. Not much, but at least a small step towards transparency.
Kaczynski threatens the federal government over a caricature - the two Kaczynskis are the biggest caricatures themselves ...
German Interior Minister warns of increasing cyber espionage - but forgets to mention that he himself is demanding expanded surveillance permissions for his department. Somehow already hypocritical, right? I mean, when the goat styles itself as the defender of the vegetables in the garden?
Support for globalization critic GeiĂźler joins Attac - always good for surprises, the man.
Schäuble: Germany is "one of the safest countries in the world" - that's why we absolutely need to tighten the laws. What nonsense politicians come up with. And how quickly voters forget that.
Union will den "Schäuble-Katalog" in allen Punkten durchsetzen - allegedly to adjust the legal situation to the threat situation. However, the threat situation has not changed at all, why does something need to be adjusted?
Politicians against Kurnaz's naturalization - the last trash, our politicians. First, they sell a human being, then they don't care what happens to him, and then there are "security concerns" against naturalization. Could someone deport Schönboom and Wiefelspütz? Their reliability and attitude towards the democratic basic order is more than questionable ...
Schäuble: Trojans should also search private diaries - in my opinion, Schäuble's attitude towards the democratic basic order and the constitution is no longer questionable. He has, in my opinion, long since completely left the framework to which he swore an oath of office.
Two programming positions for the "Bundestrojaner" - the absurdity continues. Our government couldn't care less about civil rights or the constitution. Long strides into the police state. 1984 is so yesterday.
EU Parliament votes for liberalization of television advertising - well, this will make television even more uninteresting than it already is. If I want advertising, I look at the junk mail in the mailbox, which is at least local. What can you do, I hardly ever turn on the TV anyway - besides the internet, this simple ad-infested broadcast medium makes a rather pitiful impression ...
Online searches of PCs by law enforcement and intelligence agencies - no statements from the proponents on how they technically envision this nonsense - Trojans forcibly installed on all systems? What about different operating systems - will the use of exotic systems like BeOS soon be an obstruction of authorities and punishable? The demand alone is absurd: that the authorities have too much work with actual on-site operations and therefore want online access. Is that my problem if they have too much work? The demands of the interior ministers have always been stupid and anti-constitutional, but meanwhile they are completely out of their minds.
Search for Hamburg's former Senator Schill - oh yes, there's also Schill.
Cabinet decides on retirement at 67 - "Where are the jobs supposed to come from when millions of older and even younger people are already out of work," asked DGB executive board member Annelie Buntenbach on ARD.
E-Voting - the PTB in a state of explanation. The PTB director comes across as quite helpless in that interview.
Freie Wähler feel blackmailed: Koch dismisses allegations as "absurd" - something new from our strangest "democrat" from Hesse ...
Merkel advocates for more surveillance despite high security - they can't get enough. Meanwhile, they don't even bother to come up with lies anymore ...
Bill Gates warns of digital divide in Germany - "Their goal is to make four million people fit for dealing with information technology in professional life by 2010." - well, "to indoctrinate for Microsoft products" probably describes the goals of an MS campaign better. And our politicians obediently hold the ladder.
Kündigungsschutz: Glos' Pläne in der Kritik - cute, how our proletarians, through their blinkers, only see exactly the small part they want to see. Because the guaranteed support for the unemployed over a period of up to 4 years with 80% of the last income (which means that the benefits in Denmark are higher than they have ever been here!), this is simply ignored. They are just proletarians, not politicians ... (but that the media does not clearly point this out, that is an absolute disgrace)
Apartments to be removed from REIT law - the real competitive disadvantage for Germany are just the lobby-controlled politicians ...
Bundestag Petition against voting computers - I just signed it. Would it be something for you? Don't be surprised about the address - if you go through the Bundestag pages, you also end up on this .uk server for the e-petitions. Actually a poor performance that they apparently cannot be operated in Germany ...
Innen-Staatssekretär: Internet wichtiges Mittel für Islamisten - oh yes, the evil Internet and the bad users who download things there. By the way, this Hanning guy is with the SPD, just in case someone might think that he is from the right-wing camp because of his outbursts. He is. The SPD was never really left-wing, but nowadays it has also left the center to the right ...
Union sees BenQ-Mobile insolvency as a "dirty trick" - cute, how the prolethicians are now spinning up and think they have to be harnessed in front of the cart. Where was RĂĽttgers' protest during the sale? That the sale was a rigged deal to get rid of the employees was already noticeable back then - the shareholder structure and liability situation as well as the distribution of values among the three companies has not been like this only since yesterday.
Pottery will phase out nuclear power and criticizes industrialized nations - strange. Somehow I remember his speeches from his active time in federal politics quite differently ...
Government wants to "close the last gaps" in computer criminal law - surely there will be plenty of gaps again, through which our freedoms will be further restricted. For example, what hacker tools are - farewell to practical helpers like nmap and co? With the "craftsmanship" quality of the Berlin bunglers (some call them government), I don't expect anything useful anyway ...
Seehofer annoys farmers and GMO critics - and once again, the citizen is being screwed. Public opinion doesn't matter to politicians, because a) voters forget about it anyway and b) corporations pay better ...
SPD debating cutting the widow's pension - to improve women's earnings situation. Because, instead of forcing the economy to implement quota regulations (and thus ensuring that women in underrepresented professions are promoted more strongly), it is of course a good idea to blackmail the women themselves. Either go to work or perish. Women are just too lazy to work because of the widow's pension and the splitting of spouses. Is there actually any stupid idea that a German politician hasn't had?
A naive idea - not even that naive. Probably too obvious for politicians. Well, one thing is clear: our politicians hate our freedom far more than the attackers - because our politicians constantly attack our freedom. Again and again. At all levels.
The Ugly Truth: Our President is an Imbecile - Russia is big and so is China.
Another opinion - on the crisis in and around Israel. I'm still missing the hint that politicians in Europe and the USA (and the former USSR) now see this crisis as a welcome opportunity for their image care ... (and everyone is busily selling more weapons to both sides)
Grand coalition agrees on tightening anti-terrorism laws - well, that was obvious. All the surveillance measures so far have not brought any significant success, so they cheer each other on in Berlin and expand them right away. Fits the picture of Berlin's intellectual poverty.
Hartz-IV fraud: 'Our image of man was too positive' - well, my image of Struck was probably too positive. So he is just as much of a fool as the other proletarians in Berlin ...
Rolling Stone : Was the 2004 Election Stolen? - Evidence that the 2004 election in the USA was anything but clean.
Off to the Welfare State?
ZAF does not recognize the FRG at all - and I also have my difficulties finding what I once understood as a youngster under the FRG. That I once took an oath to a constitution in a Trachtenverein, which was so undermined and shattered by the proletarians in Berlin, is somehow absurd. Ok, the whole Trachtenverein is absurd, but the oath to the constitution is completely ridiculed if it is so easy for politics to throw the basic values overboard.
WASG-Bundesvorstandsmitglied switches to NPD - because there's no difference between left and right in Germany anyway ...
