Die Zeit hat sich mit dem Verfassungsschutz beschäftigt ...

Die Zeit hat sich mit dem Verfassungsschutz beschäftigt und kommt zu diesem wenig überraschenden Schluss:
Die Chronique scandaleuse des Verfassungsschutzes seit 1950 zeigt vor allem eins: Er ist überflüssig und gehört schleunigst abgeschafft.
Amen!

The Pitch Drop Experiment - Live Stream

 

 

The first Professor of Physics at the University of Queensland, Professor Thomas Parnell, began an experiment in 1927 to illustrate that everyday materials can exhibit quite surprising properties. The experiment demonstrates the fluidity and high viscosity of pitch, a derivative of tar once used for waterproofing boats. At room temperature pitch feels solid - even brittle - and can easily be shattered with a blow from a hammer. It's quite amazing then, to see that pitch at room temperature is actually fluid!

 

In 1927 Professor Parnell heated a sample of pitch and poured it into a glass funnel with a sealed stem. Three years were allowed for the pitch to settle, and in 1930 the sealed stem was cut. From that date on the pitch has slowly dripped out of the funnel - so slowly that now, 80 years later, the ninth drop is only just forming.

ACTA - eine tödliche Bedrohung Deiner Rechte!

Call to Action! ACTA unterschrieben - aber noch ist es nicht zu spät!

Stop ACTAHeute wurde von Vertretern der EU und 22 Mitgliedsstaaten das Anti Counterfeitig Trade Agreement unterschrieben. Was ACTA inhaltlich bedeutet, hat die Piratenpartei schon frühzeitig in ihrem Positionspapier mitgeteilt - auch wenn das jetzt schon mehrere Monate alt ist, ist es im Kern immer noch richtig. Dazu gibt es hier eine sehr gute Zusammenfassung von EDRi in der Übersetzung der Digitalen Gesellschaft. Schon während der Verhandlungen haben verschiedenen Gruppen und auch Vertreter der Piratenpartei versucht, auf die Verhandlungsdelegationen des Abkommens ein zu wirken. Der offene Brief an die Bundesregierung blieb bis heute unbeantwortet.

Heute hat die EU also ACTA unterschrieben aber noch ist es nicht zu spät. Es gibt 99 Deutsche Abgeordnete im Europaparlament. Davon wissen vermutlich nur die wenigsten, welche weitreichenden Folgen ACTA für die Mensche in Europa hat. Wir, die fachkundigen Bürger stehen nun also in der Pflicht unser Wissen mit den Abgeorneten zu teilen.

Auf den Seiten von La Quadrature du Net finden sich alle Informationen, um die EU-Parlamentarier zu kontaktieren. Es lohnt sich, denn "Die heutige Unterzeichnung ist ein Symbol für die Umgehung demokratischer Prozesse um Meinungsfreiheit und Innovation weltweit zu unterdrücken. Diese symbolische Unterschrift ist jedoch noch nicht das Ende" (Zitat LQDN).

Generell finden sich dort sehr viele gute Informationen zu diesem Thema und die Seiten seiem jedem ans Herz gelegt, der sich für dieses Abkommen interessiert.

Und jetzt ab ans Telefon, die Faxgeräte und E-Mail Maschinen. Wir haben da ein Abkommen, welches verhindert werden muss. Und wir haben es nun selbst in der Hand. Es ist wichtig den Abgeordneten, die im April oder Mai über dieses Abkommen abstimmen werden, die Augen zu öffnen. Alle Infos dazu findet ihr ebenso bei La Quadrature du Net (en) als auch bei der Digitalen Gesellschaft (de)

Die Grundrechte der Europäischen Bürger dürfen nicht irgendwelchen privatwirtschaftlichen Interessen (altern. Anti-Pirateriegesetzen) zum Opfer fallen.

The townspeople of Oakville, Washington, were in for a surprise on August 7, 1994. Instead of their usual downpour of rain, the inhabitants of the small town witnessed countless gelatinous blobs falling from the sky. Once the globs fell, almost everyone in Oakville started to develop severe, flu-like symptoms that lasted anywhere from 7 weeks to 3 months. Finally, after exposure to the goo caused his mother to fall ill, one resident sent a sample of the blobs for testing. What the technicians discovered was shocking – the globs contained human white blood cells. The substance was then brought to the State Department of Health of Washington for further analysis. With another startling reveal, they discovered that the gelatinous blobs had two types of bacteria, one of which is found in the human digestive system. However, no one could successfully identify the blob, and how they were connected to the mysterious sickness that plagued the town.

What is ACTA?

ACTA - 'The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement' is a proposed plurilateral agreement for the purpose of establishing international standards on intellectual property rights enforcement in Europe.

ACTA would establish a new international legal framework that would create its "own governing body outside existing international institutions" such as - the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) or the United Nations.


An open letter signed by many organizations, including Consumers International, EDRi (27 European civil rights and privacy NGOs), the Free Software Foundation (FSF), the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), ASIC (French trade association for web 2.0 companies), and the Free Knowledge Institute (FKI), states that "the current draft of ACTA would profoundly restrict the fundamental rights and freedoms of European citizens, most notably the freedom of expression and communication privacy."
