29th April 2009 The specter of AIDS haunted again by the media (even though it has been trumped by an at least equally ghostly swine flu), but this time in a rather unusual attire: A member of pop band 'No Angels' Nadja Benaissa, should others have become infected through negligence - with the deadly HIV virus. On 14 April was arrested. It was said that it would suffer a severe punishment.
Although Benaissa is now back on the loose, there is even several times a monstrous story. Not only that was the arrest in clear violation of the principle of proportionality, but also because the singer has been through the whole media circus for the rest of their lives as outcasts "branded" (and that the people can make you sick, is sufficiently occupied). Above all, however, surprised the legal action, because the postulated retrovirus, is the following microbiologist Dr. Stefan Lanka , until today neither isolated nor otherwise been proven more of this entry »

21st April 2009 "The idea of basic income is spreading like a smoldering fire, which is wider than it shows an occasional darting. Because it is reasonable because it is time, "writes Daniel Hani, the driving force of the Swiss initiative, basic income and makers of the basic income-film , in its last round mail. It would be a cultural movement in the making, he speculates: chaotic, undogmatic, creative way. Everyone can participate, the movement has no headquarters. "They organized friendly, web-based, intelligent, warm."
So Hani is certainly true that his perception of things is essentially also mine. Wherever - mostly spontaneous - actions have been launched, this met with great response, such as the recent petition to the Bundestag or the April Fool's joke of the fictitious "Agency Agreement" . Not only among our elected representatives, most refuse the issue. After publication of the zeitgeist-Print Issue 2-2007 , which made the basic income for the title theme, I had written to Mrs. Merkel personally. of this entry »
18th April 2009 Until recently it was thought the term "internet censorship" only to China. Now one dares to attack the West, and indeed a significant, with Sarkozy as the spearhead: French Prime Minister wants to "Data suckers" hats like the best network connection - to the delight of the music industry. The French parliament, however, gave the vanguard once rebuffed.
In this country wants to "Big Brother" now more than just a voice.

16th April 2009 The cultivation of GM maize is now also banned in Germany. Due to potential hazards to animals and plants, leaving CSU Agriculture Minister Ilse Aigner announced Tuesday. Activists like Campact or genetic information service , which had been mobilized for months on a broad front cost, as a clear success of this bourgeois-democratic commitment. Certainly correct.
Aigner's veto was clear for me but also not a surprise ... or. Finally, elections are coming up soon. And then it goes to the (GMO free) sausage. Since it refers also like Monsanto lobbyists in the second row. At least for now. of this entry »

6th April 2009 We live in an exciting time. Let us simply from the meta-level times the whole rigmarole crisis: The Old crumbles, the Symptomkuriererei will not be able to stop the 20-G, at best delaying anything. The key questions that arise now are more and more, but: How will the "old" goodbye? If there is a real (re-) fraction, perhaps even to the violent?

5th April 2009 Last Saturday was "Earth Hour" . You also have your lights for an hour obedient enough, "climate change" turned off? I do not, at least not on purpose (maybe I was sitting in the dark just by chance on the sofa, and allowed myself a break. I have not looked at the clock ...).
