Zitat von Llarian im Beitrag #146[...] Die Presse kann schreiben was sie will, aber die politischen Hampelmänner sind wirklich dämlicher als die Polizei erlaubt. Wer wird wohl eher in Zukunft etwas bei Donald Trump für die Interessen seines Volkes erreichen, Boris Johnson oder Frank "Hassprediger" Steinmeier?
Gestatten Sie mir hierzu eine kleine Randbemerkung:
Sachliche Kommentare, die Steinmeiers "Hassprediger"-Attributierung kritisch erwähnen, werden von WELT und FAZ nicht freigeschaltet (jedenfalls nicht, wenn sie von mir stammen ^^).
Zudem verstehe ich seit bald 10 Jahren ohnehin nicht, wieso diese - mit Verlaub - Flachpfeife von den Medien derartig vergöttert wird.
Basteln die nicht gerade Große Intiativen gegen #NetzHetze? und: Ist das Nebenthema No.1 (mal ab von der Dschungelkampa) bei denen nicht: wie Rußland mit seinen Medien ganz-üble Zersetzung betreibt? Wer hat noch gesagt: "Folgen Sie denen nicht, in deren herzen zu oft Kälte, ja Haß sind?"

[Later] Lisa: As you know, we've inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump. How bad is it, Secretary Van Houten? Milhouse: [shows a chart] We're broke. Lisa: The country is broke? How can that be? Milhouse: Well, remember when the last administration decided to invest in our nation's children? Big mistake.

Zitat von Reuters, Jan 23, 2017The number of rigs drilling for oil and gas in the United States has recorded the largest one-week increase for over five years, confirming a rapid upturn is now underway. The number of active oil and gas rigs jumped by 35 to 694 last week, according to oilfield services company Baker Hughes (tmsnrt.rs/2jSM39f).
The total number of rigs drilling for oil and gas has risen by 290, or more than 70 percent, from its cyclical low point at the end of May 2016 (tmsnrt.rs/2jSHfk0). The number of rigs targeting oil-bearing formations has rise by 235, or nearly 75 percent, from the cycle low at end-May. Rigs targeting primarily gas-bearing formations have also rebounded by 61, or 75 percent, from a own low in late August. The number of rigs drilling for oil has risen year-on-year for the first time since January 2015, while the number of gas rigs is up year-on-year for the first time since February 2011 (tmsnrt.rs/2k7y6RQ).

Statement Regarding Recent Executive Order Concerning Extreme Vetting
“America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and border. America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave.
We will keep it free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses to say. My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months. The seven countries named in the Executive Order are the same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as sources of terror. To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting.
This is not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order. We will again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days.
I have tremendous feeling for the people involved in this horrific humanitarian crisis in Syria. My first priority will always be to protect and serve our country, but as President I will find ways to help all those who are suffering.”
Zitat Readout of the President's Call with King Salman Bin Abd Al-Aziz Saud of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ... The President requested and the King agreed to support safe zones in Syria and Yemen, as well as supporting offorts to fight the spread of radical Islamic terrorism and also on the importance of working jointly to adress challenges to regional peace and security, including the conflicts in Syria and Yemen. The President requested and the King agreed to support safe zones in Syria and Ymen, as well as supporting other ideas to help the many refugees who are displaced by the ongoing conflicts. ...

"OBAMA’S ADMINISTRATION MADE THE “MUSLIM BAN” POSSIBLE AND THE MEDIA WON’T TELL YOU"
Zitat von Seth J. Frantzman, Terra Incognita, Jan 28, 2017So I was outraged, and then I read the executive order. There are many full texts of the order online, such as at CNN, the NYT, the WSJ or Independent. According to most reports Trump was banning “nationals of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for at least the next 90 days.” This bars people from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. US Senator Elizabeth Warren said “Let’s be clear: A Muslim ban by any other name is still a Muslim ban,” and Senator Chris Murphy claimed “Trump has now handed ISIS a path to rebirth.” Media, such as Vox and the Independent, compared the ban to banning Jews from entry during the Holocaust and bashed Trump for singing the order on Holocaust memorial day. World leaders are “condemning Trump’s Muslim ban,” according to headlines.
I had to see for myself, so I read the executive order. The order does seek “to protect the American people from terrorist attacks by foreign nationals admitted to the United States.” It says that it seeks “Suspension of Issuance of Visas and Other Immigration Benefits to Nationals of Countries of Particular Concern.” It also says “I hereby proclaim that the immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens from countries referred to in section 217(a)(12) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12), would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and I hereby suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants and nonimmigrants, of such persons for 90 days from the date of this order.” And it targets Syrians specifically. “I hereby proclaim that the entry of nationals of Syria as refugees is detrimental to the interests of the United States and thus suspend any such entry until such time as I have determined that sufficient changes have been made to the USRAP to ensure that admission of Syrian refugees is consistent with the national interest.”
But, wait a sec. According to the reports “The order bars all people hailing from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.” Critics had attacked Trump for selecting these seven countries and not selecting other states “linked to his sprawling business empire.” Bloomberg and Forbes bought into this.
But, wait a sec. I read the order and Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen are not mentioned in it.
Go back and read it again. Do a “ctrl-f” to find “Iraq”. Where is “Iraq” in the order. It’s not there. Only Syria is there. So where are the seven nations? Where is the “Muslim ban”? It turns out this was a form of fake news, or alternative facts. Trump didn’t select seven “Muslim-majority” countries. US President Barack Obama’s administration selected these seven Muslim-majority countries.
The Department of Homeland Security targeted these seven countries over the last years as countries of concern. In February 2016 “The Department of Homeland Security today announced that it is continuing its implementation of the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015 with the addition of Libya, Somalia, and Yemen as three countries of concern, limiting Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals who have traveled to these countries.” It noted “the three additional countries designated today join Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria as countries subject to restrictions for Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals.” It was the US policy under Obama to restrict and target people “who have been present in Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, at any time on or after March 1, 2011 (with limited government/military exceptions).” This was text of the US Customs and Border Protection in 2015 relating to “the Visa Waiver Program and Terrorist Travel Protection Act of 2015“. The link even includes the seven nation list in it: “Iraq, Syria, Iran, SUdan, Somalia or Yemen.” And the media knew this back in May 2016 when some civil rights groups complained about it. “These restrictions have provoked an outcry from the Iranian-American community, as well as Arab-American and civil-liberties groups, who say the restrictions on dual nationals and certain travelers are discriminatory and could be imposed against American dual nationals.”
It was signed into law on December 18, 2015, as part of the Omnibus Appropriations Act of FY2016. The Congress and Homeland Security selected these countries in 2016 and before (Screenshot of visa waiver categories, US Customs and Border Protection)
What? So there was a Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015 two years before Trump? There was a kind of “Muslim ban” before the Muslim ban? But almost no one critiqued it in 2015 because it was Obama’s administration overseeing it.
So for more than a year it has been US policy to discriminate against, target and even begin to ban people from the seven countries that Trump is accused of banning immigrants and visitors from.
Zitat von Bloomberg, Jan 26Concrete is a potent source of greenhouses [sic!] gas, and Trump’s “great wall” will need a lot of it -- more than double the amount in Hoover Dam, according to engineers at New York University and University College London.
A 1,000-mile (1,600-kilometer) wall would require an estimated 275 million cubic feet of concrete. It would release as much as 1.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, according to Christoph Meinrenken, an associate research scientist at Columbia University’s Earth Institute. That’s more than the annual emissions from every home in Pittsburgh.
“The carbon footprint of a wall that size would be huge,” Dan Millis, borderlands program coordinator for the Sierra Club’s Arizona chapter, said in an interview.
Trump’s executive order to build the wall comes as nations around the globe push to reduce greenhouse gases and meet goals set under the Paris Climate accord.

Zitat von Deutsche Welle, 31 Jan.Ahead of the confirmation hearing of climate skeptic Scott Pruitt, President Trump's nominee to head the EPA, former aide Myron Ebell says it’s only a matter of time until the US leaves the climate agreement.
The former head of President Donald Trump's transition team at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has said it is only a matter of time before the president pulls America out of the Paris climate agreement, and that an executive order on the issue could come within days.
Myron Ebell said President Trump was determined to undo policies implemented by Barack Obama to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Zitat von Associated Press, vor 15 Stunden(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump warned in a phone call with his Mexican counterpart that he was ready to send U.S. troops to stop "bad hombres down there" unless the Mexican military does more to control them, according to an excerpt of a transcript of the conversation obtained by The Associated Press.
Zitat von Independent, vor 3 StundenMexico has denied Donald Trump threatened to send American soldiers into the country during a telephone conversation with his counterpart, President Enrique Peña Nieto.
Such a threat “did not happen during that call,” the Mexican government said in a statement, released on Twitter on Wednesday night.
“I know it with absolute certainty, there was no threat,” a spokesman for Mr Peña Nieto, Eduardo Sanchez, said in a radio interview. “The things that have been said are nonsense and a downright lie.”
Zitat von Welt, vor 2 StundenWie unangenehm das Telefonat für dem australischen Premier war, wird erst jetzt bekannt, nachdem hochrangige Mitarbeiter des Weißen Hauses der „Washington Post“ aus dem Gespräch berichtet haben.
Dann beendete Trump das Gespräch nach 25 Minuten abrupt, obwohl der Austausch eigentlich eine ganze Stunde hätte dauern sollen.
Zitat von The AustralianMr Turnbull today admitted that his phone call with Mr Trump lasted only 25 minutes, less than half the expected hour, but insisted it ended courteously. ...Malcolm Turnbull has denied reports Donald Trump hung up on him at the end of the two leaders’ phone call at the weekend and is adamant the US President has committed to honour the countries’ refugee deal. ... “I’m very disappointed that there has been a leak of purported details of the call in Washington but I want to make one observation: the report that the President hung up is not correct, the call ended courteously,” Mr Turnbull said.
Zitat Me permito aclarar, en relación a la información que publica esta tarde la agencia que usted dirige en nuestro país, que las afirmaciones sobre lo que se comentó en la conversación entre los mandatarios de México y los Estados Unidos el pasado 27 de enero, no corresponden a la realidad.
Las expresiones negativas a las cuales se hacen referencia no sucedieron durante dicha llamada telefónica. Al contrario, el tono fue constructivo y se llegó al acuerdo entre los presidentes para que los equipos de trabajo se reúnan de manera frecuente para construir un acuerdo que sea positivo para México y para Estados Unidos.
Confiando en la seriedad y el prestigio de AP, me permito hacer énfasis en que la información publicada esta tarde es errónea y no existen bases que puedan sustentarla”.

Zitat von neo-neoconSo, to recap: these refugees have been held by Australia in deplorable camps for years and that country is adamantly refusing to take them in (imagine if, instead of “Australia” in that sentence, we had “the Trump administration;” the hue and cry would be deafening). Obama agreed to take them in and get Turnbull off the hot stove, with the proviso that the US would be vetting them in whatever manner the Obama administration considered adequate and appropriate. Trump expressed dissatisfaction to Turnbull about the deal Obama had made, and yet agreed to abide by it. In the meantime, he wants to vet these refugees—these refugees that Australia will not accept—more carefully than Obama might have, under new vetting rules that the Trump administration will be drawing up.

Zitat von Daily Cal, Feb 07, 2017Violence helped ensure safety of students
Arguments on campus, on the other hand, revolve around students defying the acts the AntiFas — an anarchist and anti-fascist group that uses black bloc techniques to meet its ends — took that night. They want to ensure that there is a distinction between the rioters and the students who were there to protest peacefully.
Well, I’m here to thank the radical measures the AntiFas took to ensure my safety.
Here are a few arguments in favor of the use of violence in protests.
So, genau so, hat das Morden der RAF Anfang der 70er bei uns seinen Anfang genommen. Und: das ist keine radikale Untergrundpostille: das ist eine reguläre Zeitung.

Bloß 16? Wußte ichs doch, daß die deutschen Medien denen im Amiland überlegen sind.
Ein Skandal ist unseren "Qualitäts"medien bisher entgangen
Neulich wollte Präsident Trump "Guten Morgen" sagen, stattdessen kam so was wie "Good morning" heraus. Nicht genug damit, daß er nichtmal vernünftig deutsch spricht, es war fast schon Abend, als er das sagte. Ich habe extra aus dem Fenster geschaut, es wurde bereits wieder dunkel.
Und komme keiner mit dem Zeitunterschied als Erklärung, das würde nur den gaaanz pöhsen in die Karten spielen!
