The New York Times instructs its journalists not to use the term "Palestine" and not to refer to Hamas as "fighters" but only as "terrorists" because they targeted civilians.

I have never seen this language policy applied to describe violent illegal settlers in West Bank. The #NYT simply refers to them as "settlers."

I guess those who control the media, control the world.

The Intercept: New York Times Exposé Lacks Evidence to Claim Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence Oct. 7

... The Times article was headlined "'Screams Without Words': How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7," and its release in late December helped the Israeli government to justify the ongoing war on Gaza and to paint pro-Palestine supporters abroad as not caring about sexual violence. One of the reporters of the Times piece, Israeli freelancer Anat Schwartz, is being investigated by the Times for her social media activity, which included dehumanizing language and endorsements of violence against Palestinians in Gaza.

NYT Confirms Putin’s Accusations

#Zerohedge summarizes the genuinely shocking expose by The #NewYorkTimes concerning 12 #secret #US #military #basis inside #Ukraine near the Russian border that have been there since 2016:

On Sunday T_he New York Times_ published an explosive and very belated full #admission that US #intelligence has not only been instrumental in Ukraine wartime decision-making, but has established and financed high tech command-and-control spy centers, and was doing so long prior to the Feb. 24 Russian invasion of two years ago.

Among the biggest revelations is that the program was established a decade ago and spans three different American presidents. The Times says the #CIA program to modernize Ukraine’s intelligence services has “transformed” the former Soviet state and its capabilities into “Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the #Kremlin today.”

This has included the agency having secretly trained and equipped Ukrainian intelligence officers spanning back to just after the #2014 #Maidan #coup events, as well constructing a network of 12 secret bases along the Russian border—work which began eight years ago. These intelligence bases, from which Russian commanders’ communications can be swept up and Russian spy satellites monitored, are being used launch and track cross-border drone and missile attacks on Russian territory.

This means that with the disclosure of the longtime “closely guarded secret” the world just got a big step closer to #WW3, given it means the CIA is largely responsible for the effectiveness of the recent spate of attacks which have included direct drone hits on key oil refineries and energy infrastructure.

“Without them [the CIA and elite commandoes it’s trained], there would have been no way for us to resist the Russians, or to beat them,” according to Ivan Bakanov, former #head of the #SBU, which is Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency.

A main source of the #NYT revelations—disclosures which might come as no surprise to those never willing to so easily swallow the mainstream ‘official’ narrative of events—is identified as a top intelligence commander named Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy.

Clearly, #Kiev and #Washington now want #world to know of the deep intelligence relationship they tried to conceal for over the past decade. It is perhaps a kind of warning to #Moscow at a moment Ukraine’s forces are in retreat: the US is fighting hand in glove with the Ukrainians. And yet the revelations contained in the NY Times report also confirm what #President #Putin has precisely accused Washington of all along.

The Russians obviously know about these bases since they presumably have had control of them for most of the last two years. So, why is Washington suddenly admitting to them now? Are the neoclowns attempting to establish some basis for arguing that since the #USA has been actively waging #war on #Russia for a long time, more aid and even direct military support for Ukraine is justified?

At some point, the anti-Russian Narrative is going to collapse, as one lie after another is exposed, and it eventually turns out that the Russians were doing nothing but telling the truth about The Empire of Lies and its activities in Ukraine all along.

It also documents how the CIA not only kept #PresidentTrump in the dark with regards to its anti-Russian activities, but consistently undermined him and his policies.

A Fateful Error - The New York Times

By George F. Kennan
Archives | 1997

In late 1996, the impression was allowed, or caused, to become prevalent that it had been somehow and somewhere decided to expand NATO up to Russia's borders. This despite the fact that no formal decision can be made before the alliance's next summit meeting, in June.

The timing of this revelation -- coinciding with the Presidential election and the pursuant changes in responsible personalities in Washington -- did not make it easy for the outsider to know how or where to insert a modest word of comment. Nor did the assurance given to the public that the decision, however preliminary, was irrevocable encourage outside opinion.

But something of the highest importance is at stake here. And perhaps it is not too late to advance a view that, I believe, is not only mine alone but is shared by a number of others with extensive and in most instances more recent experience in Russian matters. The view, bluntly stated, is that expanding NATO would be the most fateful error of American policy in the entire post-cold-war era. — https://web.archive.org/web/20180819114733/https://www.nytimes.com/1997/02/05/opinion/a-fateful-error.html

Debunked: Misleading NYT Anti-Trans Article By Pamela Paul Relies On Pseudoscience

The opinion piece by Pamela Paul relies on routinely debunked disinformation and gets factual information wrong about transgender care. It is the latest NYT published piece to do so.

https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/debunked-misleading-nyt-anti-trans

Her first source, used to support "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria," is an article by Lisa Littman that has been retracted. Littman is notably one of the only researchers to argue for the theory, which has been repeatedly dismissed for lacking factual support and for recruiting subjects from anti-trans websites.
A study in the prestigious journal Pediatrics entirely debunked the concept of ROGD, determining that most transgender people know their gender identity for years before they come out and seek treatment for gender dysphoria. When transgender people finally do come out, many are overjoyed to finally reveal their true self to the world around them - to others, however, the process may seem “rapid.” To ascertain whether transgender identification occurs "rapidly," researchers directly asked transgender teenagers: "How long have you known you were transgender?" They discovered that on average, transgender people know their gender identity for four years before first coming out and presenting for treatment.

NYT: A General’s Account of Oct. 7 Battle for Be’eri Stirs Debate in Israel

The commander told The New York Times about how he had authorized Israeli tank fire on a house where hostages were being held by Hamas fighters.

Dec. 27, 2023
Updated 2:30 p.m. ET
The Israeli military said it would review the circumstances of an Oct. 7 battle to retake a village from Hamas fighters, after a New York Times investigation featuring new details about Israeli tank fire on a house where hostages were being held stirred debate in Israel.

At least 97 civilians were killed in the village of Be’eri after Hamas and its allies surged across the border from Gaza on Oct. 7. Scores of gunmen ransacked neighborhoods in Be’eri and set fire to homes, killing many of those they found inside and abducting others.

Israeli news outlets had previously quoted survivors of the massacre saying that an Israeli tank had fired on a house where Hamas fighters were holding hostages during the lengthy battle to retake Be’eri. In an article published on Friday by The New York Times, the Israeli commander who led the fight detailed how he had authorized tank fire to end what was already an hourslong standoff — “even at the cost of civilian casualties.”

Those remarks have been picked up by the Israeli news media and prompted some public debate about the conduct of the commander, Brig. Gen. Barak Hiram. Only two out of the 14 hostages in the house survived that day; it was not clear how many died by tank fire.

Some people have defended General Hiram, saying he had run into the line of fire to fight terrorists. Critics have said that the commander had recklessly endangered the lives of hostages who might otherwise have been saved.

General Hiram, through a military spokeswoman, declined to comment.

In a written statement on Sunday in response to questions regarding General Hiram’s conduct, the Israeli military said it would “conduct a detailed and in-depth probe to clarify the details as soon as the operational situation permits.” It called General Hiram “a decorated, principled, and respected officer, who fought bravely on Oct. 7,” sentiments echoed by the Israeli military’s chief spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, on Sunday evening.

Admiral Hagari said the Oct. 7 assault had forced “very tough decisions” which would have to be investigated as soon as possible. He urged the public not to judge General Hiram’s conduct before the inquiry was complete, adding that he was “sure Barak’s decisions were guided by his commitment to defending the citizens of Israel.”

Israel’s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, on Sunday also called General Hiram “a hero of Israel” who had been forced to make difficult choices to fend off the Hamas attack.

Yoav Limor, a military commentator, argued in the right-leaning daily Israel HaYom that people who “sat at home and watched the broadcasts in terror” on Oct. 7 should not rush to criticize General Hiram and his fellow soldiers who “fought for the kibbutzes and for us all.”

But some commentators blamed General Hiram for the deaths of the hostages.

“The heroes of Israel ought to protect the children of Israel, not to kill them,” Shelly Yachimovich, a former leader of Israel’s parliamentary opposition, wrote on the X platform on Sunday. “Who am I to judge? Who is he to kill.”

Yair Golan, a retired Israeli general, said that only an investigation could determine whether General Hiram — who at one point served under his command — had acted appropriately.

“It’s not serious to discuss this without a serious investigation, and I very much hope there will be one,” said General Golan.

Johnatan Reiss contributed reporting.

It is all about the reporting!

The language used by mainstream media, specially those in the US to make Russian attacks more brutal and Israeli ones less evil is so obvious and visible these days.

It used to be hard to see them that clearly before Internet and before 2 conflict happening at the same time, but now, the disgusting hypocrisy of the reputable papers such as NYT is right in front of our eyes.

30.12.2023 Data Mining auf US Telefondaten

Wozu können Telefondaten genutzt werden?

Nach 15 Jahren in unserem Verein - wir feiern am 18.1.24 den 15 Gründungsgeburtstag - ist das eine unnötige Frage. Jahrelang haben wir bis zum Verbot durch BVerfG und EuGH gegen die Gesetze zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung (VDS) gekämpft. Die Speicherung allein von Metadaten - wer hat wann, wie oft, wie lange mit wem telefoniert - macht uns alle gläsern. Aus solchen Daten können auch leicht falsche Schlüsse gezogen werden und wir müssen dann als sogenannte False Positives "beweisen". dass wir etwas nicht getan haben. Das führt zu einer Umkehr der Unschuldvermutung, die eigentlich ein Grundpfeiler unseres Rechtsstaats sein sollte.

Nun berichtet Heise.de, dass ein geheimes Programm US-Strafverfolgungsbehörden auf Bundes-, Landes- und Kommunalebene ermöglicht auf die Telefondaten Millionen Unverdächtiger zuzugreifen.

• Erstens: Wie kann es für normale Polizeibehörden überhaupt ein geheimes Programm geben?
• Zweitens: Warum bringen die Telefonprovider solche Programme nicht sofort an die Öffentlichkeit, wenn sie dazu angefragt werden?

Denn heraus kam das Vorgehen nur durch die Analyse von durchgesickerten Polizeidokumenten durch das US-Magazin Wired. Man hatte mit der Hilfe des Telekommunikationsunternehmens AT&T eine Analyse von Anrufdetails durchgeführt. Solche Kettenanalysen sollten helfen, Kontaktnetzwerke aufzudecken, die über direkte Verbindungen zu Verdächtigen hinausgehen. Das ist weit mehr als nur die Speicherung von VDS-Daten, das ist Data Mining also die bei uns weitgehend verbotene Rasterfahnung.

So hat auch US-Senator Ron Wyden in einem von Wired veröffentlichten Brief an das Justizministerium "ernsthafte Bedenken hinsichtlich der Rechtmäßigkeit", schreibt Heise.de. Dabei ist das DAS genannte Programm (Data Analytical Services) nicht neu, sondern wurde bereits erstmals von der New York Times im Jahr 2013 öffentlich gemacht. In diesem Programm werden täglich vier Milliarden Einträge gespeichert. Skandalös ist, dass dieses Programm seit Jahren verdeckt finanziert wird und auch Präsident Joe Biden dafür erneut eine finanzielle Unterstützung in Höhe von 6 Millionen US-Dollar zur Verfügung gestellt hat.

Israel learned of #Hamas's plans a year before the October 7 attack, The New York Times reported, citing documents and correspondence.

The English-translated material, code-named "The #Jericho Wall" and seen by the publication, ran to about 40 pages. It did not specify the date of the attack, but described it in detail. It noted that Hamas followed the plan with shocking precision on October 7.

Israeli military and intelligence officials did not take the information seriously a year ago, considering the plot too complex for the Palestinian movement.

28.11.2023 Offener Brief für Julian Assange

Journalismus ist kein Verbrechen

Genau heute vor einem Jahr erschien ein Offener Brief an die US Regierung und die Weltöffentlichkeit. Herausgeber sind die Chefredakteure und Herausgeber von

• »New York Times«
• »Guardian«
• »Le Monde«
• SPIEGEL
• »El País«

Diese Zeitungen haben über viele Jahre die Erkenntnisse von Wikileaks veröfffentlicht. Doch keine dieser Medien wurde von den USA wegen der Veröffentlichungen von Militärgeheimnissen angeklagt, noch nicht einmal angemahnt. Julian Assange wird dagegen seit mehr als 14 Jahren seiner Freiheit beraubt und durch den Espionage Act von 1917 mit 175 Jahren Haft bedroht.

In dem Offenen Brief heißt es

Heute vor zwölf Jahren, am 28. November 2010, haben unsere fünf Redaktionen in Zusammenarbeit mit WikiLeaks eine Serie von Enthüllungsgeschichten veröffentlicht, die weltweit Schlagzeilen machten. Die diplomatischen Depeschen, eine Sammlung von 251.000 vertraulichen Nachrichten des US-Außenministeriums, entlarvten Korruption, diplomatische Skandale und Spionageaffären von internationalem Ausmaß. ...

Aber heute äußern wir uns gemeinsam, weil wir zutiefst besorgt darüber sind, dass Julian Assange noch immer verfolgt wird, weil er geheimes Material beschafft und veröffentlicht hat. ... Das US-Justizministerium nutzte das alte Anti-Spionage-Gesetz von 1917, einst gedacht für die Verurteilung von Spionen während des Ersten Weltkriegs. Es wurde nie zuvor angewendet, um einen Herausgeber oder Journalisten vor Gericht zu stellen.

Die Anklage gegen Assange ist ein gefährlicher Präzedenzfall und ein Angriff auf die Pressefreiheit. Es zählt zu den Kernaufgaben von Journalistinnen und Journalisten in demokratischen Staaten, Fehler von Regierungen zu kritisieren. Sensible Informationen zu beschaffen und zu publizieren, wenn das im öffentlichen Interesse liegt, ist Teil unserer täglichen Arbeit. Wer diese Arbeit kriminalisiert, schwächt den öffentlichen Diskurs und damit die Demokratie.

Zwölf Jahre nach den Botschaftsdepeschen ist es an der Zeit für die US-Regierung, die Verfolgung von Julian Assange wegen der Veröffentlichung geheimer Dokumente einzustellen. Denn Journalismus ist kein Verbrechen.

Die Regierung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland stellt auf Nachfrage der Linken Abgeordneten Sevim Dağdelen dazu fest:
Die Zuständigkeit für das Verfahren liegt bei der britischen Justiz. Die Bundesregierung achtet die Unabhängigkeit der Justiz. Sie hat keinen Zweifel daran, dass die britische Justiz rechtsstaatliche Prinzipien anwendet und die Menschenrechte achtet. Zu laufenden Verfahren sowie den Inhalten vertraulicher Gespräche mit Vertreterinnen und Vertretern anderer Regierungen äußert sich die Bundesregierung grundsätzlich nicht. https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/20/089/2008966.pdf

Wir demonstrieren weiter jeden 1. und 3. Donnrstag von 18-20h vor der US Botschaft am Brandenburger Tor. Macht mit!

Außerdem: Verleihung KONRAD-WOLF-PREIS 2023, AdK Berlin

Julian Assange hat wieder einen Preis zuerkannt bekommen, diesmal von der Akademie der Künste, - was außergewöhnlich ist, da der Konrad-Wolf-Preis sonst nur für Künstler vergeben wird. Am 22. Oktober nahm Stella Assange den Preis in Berlin entgegen. Viele Berliner "Free Assange“ Aktivisten waren natürlich vor Ort , auch um die Anwesenden zu informieren.

Hier ist der vollständige Wortlaut der Jury-Begründung für den Preis nachzulesen https://www.adk.de/de/news/?we_objectID=65558
Auf der Website der ADK ist das Video der gesamten Veranstaltung bis auf den Vorfilm verlinkt https://www.adk.de/de/programm/index.htm?we_objectID=65629
