Slaughterbots - Drohnen töten!
... und Wanzen töten ebenfalls, wie wir nun seit ein paar Tagen wissen. Es sind genau diese Wanzen, vor denen unser Ehrenmitglied Edward Snowden mit den Worten gewarnt hat:
"Wir haben Wanzen in unseren Taschen, die uns auf Schritt und Tritt verfolgen. Denkt darüber nach, was dies für die Privatsphäre bedeutet."
Nun müssen wir erkennen, dass es "ganz einfach ist" eine bestimmte Gruppe von Menschen mit Geräten zu versorgen, um sie dann zu einem festen Zeitpunkt per Fernzündung auszuschalten. Als das Video über die "Slaughterbots" (inzwischen 3,8 Millionen Aufrufe) vor 7 Jahren online ging, war es nur Science Fiction, dass man durch Anpeilen der Handy-Standorte - in dem Video die sämtlicher Studenten in den USA - Ziele für kleine fliegende Sprengladungen finden könne, um die Intelligenz eines ganzen Landes zu zerstören.
Nun hat die Realität dieses Video übertroffen. Die Sprengladung wird dank der fortschreitenden Miniaturisierung gleich mit dem Pager, WalkiTalki oder Handy mit ausgeliefert. Explodiert es am Ohr, so tötet es, explodiert es in der Hosentasche, so kann es tödlich sein, mit Sicherheit verletzt es schwer.
Wen trifft es?
Die Autoren des verlinkten Artikels vom Deutschlandfunk meinen: "Pager-Explosionen im Libanon lösen in Deutschland Freude und Häme über Opfer aus". So einer menschenverachtenden Ansicht können wir uns nicht anschließen. Durch die offensichtlich durch den israelischen Geheimdienst präparierten Geräte sind Menschen getötet und Hunderte zum Teil schwer verletzt worden. Die Zahl und das Verhältnis zwischen gezielt Getroffenen und den sogenannten "Kollateralschäden" wird wohl nie bekannt werden. Sicher ist aber, dass auch Familienmitglieder, teilweise auch Kinder, im Besitz der Geräte waren und zum Opfer wurden.
Mit den nach Kriegsvölkerrecht erlaubten Handlungen hat die Aktion sicher nicht zu tun und sie wird mit Sicherheit den Hass und die Bereitschaft zum Krieg gegen Israel weiter anstacheln. Damit wird der Libanon, der nicht Kriegspartei ist und der seit Jahrzehnten mit der Aufnahme und Versorgung Zehntausender Flüchtlinge aus den Palästinensergebieten bereits an der Belastungsgrenze lebt, weiter destabilisiert.
Für uns als "Datenschützer" kommt durch die Aktion des Mossad also zu der Sorge um unsere Privatsphäre durch das Tragen einer elektronischen Wanze nun eine weitere Gefahr hinzu. Von außen wird man dem Handy oder dem Pflegeroboter im Altenheim nicht ansehen welche weiteren Gefahren solche fernsteuerbaren Geräte in sich tragen ...

B.A.C. did take on ordinary clients, for which it produced a range of ordinary pagers. But the only client that really mattered was Hezbollah, and its pagers were far from ordinary. Produced separately, they contained batteries laced with the explosive #PETN, according to the three #intelligence officers.

Eskalation in Nahost - Ex-Diplomat: Westen muss zu Deeskalation drängen
Weder die Hisbollah noch Iran haben derzeit Interesse an einem Krieg mit Israel, sagt Ex-Diplomat Reinicke. Bei Israels Regierung könnte das anders sein.#KriegsgefahrinNahost #Nahostkonflikt #ISRAEL #Hisbollah #Libanon #KRIEG
Ex-Diplomat zu Nahost: Westen muss zu Deeskalation drängen
The Israeli military reports that two Palestinian gunmen were killed in a raid near the West Bank city of #Tulkarm.
Palestinian sources claim that two children were killed in #Jenin today as a result of Israeli attacks.
Palestinian armed groups continue to use weapons and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to attack Israeli troops.
So far, 33 people have died and 130 have been injured across the region.

On War Crimes And Western Hypocrisy
The death toll has risen to 12 from Israel’s terror attack in #Lebanon on Tuesday which detonated explosive materials hidden in thousands of #pagers. Another 20 people were then killed in another attack on Wednesday with a second wave of explosions, this time using walkie talkies and home solar energy systems.
The total death toll now sits at 32. Two children and four healthcare workers are among the dead. Thousands have been injured.
As you would expect, western empire managers are getting really squirmy about this. White House spokesman John Kirby adamantly refused to answer any questions involving Israel’s responsibility for the attacks during a press conference on Wednesday, despite #Israel being widely reported as the responsible party, with outlets like The New York Times citing #US officials as their source.
“I’m not gonna speak to the details of these incidents,” Kirby said repeatedly when questioned about Israel’s role and what the US response will be.
It goes without saying that if a government like Russia, China or Iran were even suspected of being responsible for similar attacks, Kirby and his fellow podium people would be not just naming the suspected aggressor but fervently denouncing the attack as an act of terrorism.
And it is here worth reminding readers that in 2017, a leaked State Department memo explained in plain language that it is standing US policy to overlook the abuses of US allies while denouncing the abuses of US enemies in order to undermine enemies and show other countries the perks of being aligned with the United States.
The memo showed neoconservative empire manager Brian Hook teaching a previously uninitiated Secretary of State Rex Tillerson that for the US government, “human rights” are only a weapon to be used for keeping other nations in line. In a remarkable look into the cynical nature of imperial narrative management, Hook told Tillerson that it is US policy to overlook human rights abuses committed by nations aligned with US interests while exploiting and weaponizing them against nations who aren’t.
“In the case of US allies such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines, the Administration is fully justified in emphasizing good relations for a variety of important reasons, including counter-terrorism, and in honestly facing up to the difficult tradeoffs with regard to human rights,” Hook explained in the memo.
“One useful guideline for a realistic and successful foreign policy is that allies should be treated differently — and better — than adversaries,” Hook wrote. “We do not look to bolster America’s adversaries overseas; we look to pressure, compete with, and outmaneuver them. For this reason, we should consider human rights as an important issue in regard to US relations with China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. And this is not only because of moral concern for practices inside those countries. It is also because pressing those regimes on human rights is one way to impose costs, apply counter-pressure, and regain the initiative from them strategically.”
It’s tedious going “If Group X did this western politicians and pundits would condemn it but because Group Y did it they’re fine with it” over and over again, but it’s important to highlight these discrepancies because they show how we’re being deceived.
Westerners are indoctrinated from birth into believing they live in a society that is basically good with governments that, while imperfect, are still far superior to the tyrants and corrupt autocrats of the global south. In reality the western power structure centralized around the United States is the single most murderous and tyrannical force on earth by an extremely massive margin, but that obvious fact is always omitted from the indoctrination curriculum.
By pointing out the glaring discrepancies between the way the western political-media class responds to things like Israel turning electronic devices into thousands of bombs placed throughout civilian populations and the way they respond when other groups detonate explosives among civilians, you’re helping to punch holes in the veil of indoctrination they have cast over our collective understanding of the world. The more you recognize that you only see your society as good and others as bad because of the way world events are framed by western news media and politicians, the closer you get to having your “Are we the baddies?” epiphany.
Hypocrisy and contradiction are not great moral evils in and of themselves, but they often run cover for great moral evils. The fact that we are trained to think about the world by people who facilitate great evils perpetrated by their own side when they’d condemn identical evils committed by their enemies shows that they do not stand against evil, and are deeply evil themselves.
Recognizing the problems in our world is the first step to solving them. That’s what the propagandists and empire managers work to prevent us from doing, and that’s what we try to do by pointing out the glaring plot holes and inconsistencies in their narratives over and over again.
The correct thing to do when western leaders talk about human rights or denounce abuses by enemy governments is to mock them and dismiss them. They’re not saying anything true about their actual values and beliefs; if they were there wouldn’t be so much hypocrisy in the way they denounce governments they don’t like for offenses they ignore and make excuses for in governments they do like. They’re never saying what they’re saying to stop human rights abuses or make the world a better place, they’re only saying what they’re saying to undermine their enemies so that the western empire can rule the world and be the only one administering abuse.
And the same is true of the mainstream western press. You’ll see them completely ignore the abuses of US-aligned governments while showing immense interest in alleged abuses by empire-targeted groups, often on very flimsy evidence. Mock them and dismiss them when they act like they care about human rights abuses. They don’t care. They just want to make sure the abusive power structure they conduct propaganda for is the one in charge.

Der Mossad habe die explodierten Pager selbst produziert, sagt der Geheimdienstexperte Ronen Bergman. Und Israel habe weitere solche Operationen vorbereitet.#BenjaminNetanjahu #Israel #Libanon #Nahost-Konflikt #Nahost #Politik #Schwerpunkt
Krieg in Nahost: „Es gibt noch mehr rote Knöpfe“
Das Vorgehen des Mossad wird gefürchtet und bewundert - genau wie der Mythos der Organisation. Und doch ist Israels Geheimdienst umstritten, denn nicht jeder Einsatz gelingt. Von Jan-Christoph Kitzler.#Mossad #Nahost #Israel
Israels Geheimdienst: Die tödlichen Missionen des Mossad
Israel allegedly manufactured booby-trapped pagers through a shell company called BAC Consulting, which was established in #Hungary to pose as an international pager producer. The devices were produced under contract with a Taiwanese company, Gold Apollo, but contained batteries laced with the explosive PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate). The pagers were shipped to #Lebanon and distributed among Hezbollah operatives, who used them for communication without realizing they were rigged with explosives.
At least 32 people were killed in the recent explosions caused by booby-trapped pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon. Among the casualties, some were #Hezbollah members, but others included civilians, with reports indicating that four of the deceased were children.
