"Trump ist unser Mann": Unterwegs in der Rassisten- und Neonaziszene der USA


Eine Woche lang war SPIEGEL TV auf der rechtsextremen Seite der amerikanischen Supermacht unterwegs. Reporter Andreas Lünser hat Menschen getroffen, die die Übermacht der weißen Rasse propagieren, den Nationalsozialismus für Mainstream halten und denen die deutschen Worte "Sieg Heil" und "Lügenpresse" erschreckend flüssig von den Lippen gehen.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Der designierte SPD-Kanzlerkandidat Martin Schulz hat Donald Trumps Einreisestopp für Flüchtlinge als Tabubruch bezeichnet. Die Regierungschefinnen aus Deutschland und Großbritannien reagieren zurückhaltend auf das US-Dekret.

Martin Schulz hat Donald Trump scharf attackiert. Der designierte SPD-Kanzlerkandidat warf dem US-Präsidenten vor, Minderheiten mit "unverschämten und gefährlichen Äußerungen" anzugreifen. Das von Trump verhängte Einreiseverbot für Flüchtlinge und Menschen aus sieben mehrheitlich muslimischen Staaten bezeichnete Schulz als einen "Tabubruch, der unerträglich ist". » | syd/dpa/Reuters/AFP | Sonntag, 29.

Does Trump Really Want to Bring Everything Down?


THE NATIONAL – OPINION: Donald Trump’s first week as president was so chaotic, bizarre and unnerving that it left many Americans, liberal and conservative alike, sincerely terrified that the United States is in the early stages of an unprecedented national nightmare. It is unclear whether the political system can adequately contain or withstand the unfolding assault on elementary and essential American norms and values.

So many of those core mores have been contemptuously flouted by the new president that it’s unclear how, and whether, they can be fully or even partially restored.

It’s unnecessary and impossible to list here the unprecedented, and often breathtaking, breaches of basic American political standards and principles by the Trump administration during its first week. » | Hussein Ibish | Saturday, January 28, 2017

Türkei: EU-Parlament sieht derzeit kaum Chance für Beitritt


Während der türkische Präsident Erdogan in seinem Land davon spricht, dass er weiter gegen Bürger vorgehen will, die er verdächtigt, am Militärputsch gegen ihn beteiligt gewesen zu sein, diskutiert das EU-Parlament, wie es zum Beitritt der Türkei in die EU steht. EU-Parlamentarier sagen, dass Erdogans Handeln nach dem Putsch, z.B. die Verhaftung von Oppositionellen und Journalisten, nicht EU-Regeln entspricht. Bricht die EU die Beitrittsverhandlungen ab, verliert die Türkei hunderte Millionen Euro im Jahr an EU-Anbahnungshilfen. Mit diesen Zahlungen wollte die EU einen möglichen Beitritt vorbereiten und in Ziele wie Demokratisierung oder Infrastruktur investieren.

Türkei und EU: Passt das zusammen?


Die Beitrittsgespräche zwischen der Türkei unter ihrem Präsidenten Erdogan und der EU stehen auf der Kippe. Ein Grund dafür sind die Reaktionen der Regierung Erdogan auf den Militärputsch im Sommer 2016: Viele Richter wurden nach Hause geschickt, über 100 Journalisten und neun Oppositionspolitiker verhaftet. Das passt nicht zu den Grundregeln der EU, die zum Beispiel unabhängige Gerichte fordert. Darüber hinaus ist unklar, ob die EU zur Zeit überhaupt genug Kraft hat, ein neues Mitglied aufzunehmen.

Réfugiés et immigration : casse-tête mondial après le décret d'interdiction américain


LE FIGARO: Détenteurs de carte verte bloqués dans des aéroports, Irakiens sommés de faire demi-tour alors même qu'ils sont en règle... Au lendemain de la signature interdisant l'entrée aux Etats-Unis aux réfugiés et ressortissants de sept pays musulmans, les situations iniques se multiplient.

«Je suis un doctorant iranien aux États-Unis et je ne peux plus aller rendre visite à ma famille.» Après le décret signé par Donald Trump interdisant l'accès au territoire américain aux réfugiés ou ressortissants de sept pays - à majorité mulsulmane -, les témoignages se multiplient pour illustrer le casse-tête administratif qu'il représente. Le texte interdit l'entrée aux États-Unis aux citoyens irakiens, iraniens, libyens, somaliens, soudanais, syriens ou yéménites, même s'ils sont en possession d'un visa ou d'une carte verte (c'est-à-dire qu'ils habitent légalement aux États-Unis). Les réfugiés syriens sont également interdits d'entrée dans le pays. » | Par Géraldine Russell | samedi le 28 janvier 2017

Voilà qui va faire plaisir aux dirigeants européens. Le départ des Britanniques de l'Union européenne va donner une "identité" au Royaume-Uni, a estimé vendredi le président américain Donald Trump lors d'une conférence de presse commune à Washington avec la Première ministre britannique. "L'une des choses que nous avons en commun est la volonté de donner la priorité aux intérêts des travailleurs ordinaires", a de son côté souligné May, félicitant le magnat de l'immobilier pour sa victoire.

"Je pense que nous allons très bien nous entendre", a lancé quant à lui Trump, plutôt en retrait, qui faisait ses début sur la scène diplomatique internationale en recevant pour la première un dirigeant étranger. Le président républicain, qui avait personnellement accueilli May, toute de rouge vêtue, à son arrivée à la Maison Blanche, a accepté une invitation de la reine Elizabeth II à se rendre au Royaume-Uni dans l'année. » | Source AFP | vendredi, le 27 janvier 2017

Theresa May bei Donald Trump: Pudel leben gefährlich


SPIEGEL ONLINE: Theresa May sucht die Nähe Donald Trumps - und geht damit ein hohes Risiko ein. Der US-Präsident weiß um die Schwäche der Britin. Er wird immer versuchen, den bestmöglichen Deal für sich selbst herauszuholen.

Der Pudel feiert in der britischen Presse gerade ein Comeback. Vom seriösen "Guardian" bis hin zum Boulevardblatt "Sun" konnte Premierministerin Theresa May die hässliche Metapher lesen, mit der einst ihr Amtsvorgänger Tony Blair bedacht wurde, als er mit US-Präsident George W. Bush in den Irakkrieg zog: Der Premierminister des stolzen Großbritanniens, nicht mehr als ein Schoßhund Washingtons.

Das Pudel-Image wurde Blair nie wieder los. Und nun droht es auf May überzugehen. Trumps diplomatischer Fauxpas, ausgerechnet die Brexit-Galionsfigur Nigel Farage als ersten ausländischen Politiker nach dem Wahlsieg zu empfangen und ihn gar als britischen Botschafter vorzuschlagen, ist längst vergessen. Als Trump andeutete, er könnte ein Freihandelsabkommen mit Großbritannien abschließen, konnte May gar nicht schnell genug nach Washington reisen. » | Ein Kommentar von Markus Becker | Freitag, 27.

Survivors Remember Kristallnacht: Susan (Hilsenrath) Warsinger

Remembering Holocaust Survivors


The Holocaust is one of the greatest tragedies humans have forced upon their fellow man. We are resolved to never forget the horrors, but we also remember and celebrate the lives and accomplishments of those who survived.

We salute those like Elie Wiesel, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work as an author, lecturer and educator, as well as Simon Wiesenthal, who dedicated his life to pursuing perpetrators who escaped justice./>

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day we remember those who died as well as those who survived and made our world richer with their stories, knowledge and talent.


Why Are Holocaust Survivors Poor?


Research shows that 1/3 of the 100,000 holocaust survivors that live in the United States, live in poverty. 50,000 of those survivors live in the New York Metropolitan are, and 52% of them are poor and their average income is $18,000. Hanan Simhon, vice president of Holocaust Survivor Services at Self-help, stated, “It’s a shocking statistic… They tend to be very isolated, losing their families during the war and then either did not or could not have children. Many started working in menial jobs because they did not have the language kills. Today they are in their 80s and 90s and it is beyond difficult to make ends meet.”

Holocaust Survivors Fighting Poverty


An estimated one-third of Holocaust survivors in the United States live at or below the poverty line, according to The Blue Card, a non-profit organization.

Holocaust Documentary - History & Story of Holocaust Survivors


The Holocaust, was a genocide in which approximately six million Jews were killed by Adolf Hitler's Nazi régime and its collaborators. Some historians use a definition of the Holocaust that includes the additional five million non-Jewish victims of Nazi mass murders, bringing the total to approximately eleven million. Killings took place throughout Nazi Germany and German-occupied territories.

With the UK set to withdraw from the European Union in early 2019, many are fearing the consequences for both Britain and Europe. Will the negotiations leave a lingering sense of resentment between them?

Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament's chief negotiator settling terms of the UK's withdrawal, says the EU is not "looking for revenge" and the terms won't be "punitive".

"What we are looking for is a fair agreement in which you can never have outside the European Union a better status than as member of the European Union," says Verhofstadt, who served as prime minister of Belgium.

Asked why 52 percent of Britons voted to leave, Verhofstadt blamed internal partisan politics and anti-immigrant sentiment.

Mikhail Gorbachev: 'It All Looks as if the World Is Preparing for War'


TIME: The world today is overwhelmed with problems. Policymakers seem to be confused and at a loss.

But no problem is more urgent today than the militarization of politics and the new arms race. Stopping and reversing this ruinous race must be our top priority.

The current situation is too dangerous.

More troops, tanks and armored personnel carriers are being brought to Europe. NATO and Russian forces and weapons that used to be deployed at a distance are now placed closer to each other, as if to shoot point-blank.

While state budgets are struggling to fund people’s essential social needs, military spending is growing. Money is easily found for sophisticated weapons whose destructive power is comparable to that of the weapons of mass destruction; for submarines whose single salvo is capable of devastating half a continent; for missile defense systems that undermine strategic stability.

Politicians and military leaders sound increasingly belligerent and defense doctrines more dangerous. Commentators and TV personalities are joining the bellicose chorus. It all looks as if the world is preparing for war. » | Mikhail Gorbachev | Thursday, January 26, 2017

BREITBART.COM: British Prime Minister Theresa May used her speech in Philadelphia to needle the new Trump administration on a number of issues ranging from globalism to climate change, Islam, and even to defending the European Union.

Mrs. May began her speech at the Republican Retreat in Philadelphia with a brief history of Anglo-American relations, invoking the spirit of the Founding Fathers of the U.S. as well as expressing gratitude towards America’s involvement in the World Wars of the 20th century.

But her speech was also littered with politically correct terms, as well as left and centre-left talking points regarding international institutions, Islam, and radical Islamic terrorism, the latter of which she called “Islamist extremism”.

The British premier compared “open, liberal and democratic” societies in the West versus “closed, coercive” ones. She hailed the United Nations, praised the World Bank, and called NATO “the cornerstone” of Western defence. Read on and comment » | Raheem Kassam | Thursday, January 26, 2017
