(https://iamwikileaks.org/donate) Open Letter to President Trump: Dear President Trump, We are journalists, activists and citizens from the United States and around the world who care about press freedom and are writing to you in response to the latest threat of prosecution against WikiLeaks for its journalistic work. We ask you to immediately close the Grand Jury investigation into WikiLeaks and drop any charges against Julian Assange and other Wikileaks staff members which the Department of Justice is planning. This threat to WikiLeaks escalates a long-running war of attrition against the great virtue of the United States — free speech. The Obama Administration prosecuted more whistleblowers than all presidents combined and opened a Grand Jury investigation into WikiLeaks that had no precedent. It now appears the US is preparing to take the next step — prosecuting publishers who provide the "currency" of free speech, to paraphrase Thomas Jefferson. It is reported that charges, including conspiracy, theft of government property and violating the Espionage Act are being considered against members of WikiLeaks, and that charging WikiLeaks Editor, Julian Assange, is now a priority of the Department of Justice. A threat to WikiLeaks' work — which is publishing information protected under the First Amendment — is a threat to all free journalism. If the DOJ is able to convict a publisher for its journalistic work, all free journalism can be criminalised. We call on you as President of the United States to close the Grand Jury investigation into WikiLeaks and drop any charges planned against any member of WikiLeaks. It was a free and robust press that provided you with a platform on which to run for president. Defending a truly free press requires freedom from fear and favour and the support of journalists and citizens https://www.iamwikileaks.org/openletter/ Page 1 of 108 Sign the I am WikiLeaks open letter! 20.05.17 13:21 everywhere; for the kind of threat now facing WikiLeaks — and all publishers and journalists — is a step into the darkness.

    Romanian Political Science Review Vol. XXI, No. 1 2021

    Romanian Political Science Review vol. XXI, no. 1 2021 The end of the Cold War, and the extinction of communism both as an ideology and a practice of government, not only have made possible an unparalleled experiment in building a democratic order in Central and Eastern Europe, but have opened up a most extraordinary intellectual opportunity: to understand, compare and eventually appraise what had previously been neither understandable nor comparable. Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review was established in the realization that the problems and concerns of both new and old democracies are beginning to converge. The journal fosters the work of the first generations of Romanian political scientists permeated by a sense of critical engagement with European and American intellectual and political traditions that inspired and explained the modern notions of democracy, pluralism, political liberty, individual freedom, and civil rights. Believing that ideas do matter, the Editors share a common commitment as intellectuals and scholars to try to shed light on the major political problems facing Romania, a country that has recently undergone unprecedented political and social changes. They think of Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review as a challenge and a mandate to be involved in scholarly issues of fundamental importance, related not only to the democratization of Romanian polity and politics, to the “great transformation” that is taking place in Central and Eastern Europe, but also to the make-over of the assumptions and prospects of their discipline. They hope to be joined in by those scholars in other countries who feel that the demise of communism calls for a new political science able to reassess the very foundations of democratic ideals and procedures.

With this act, the Kremlin redrew the political map of Europe and upended the rules of the acknowledged international order. Despite the threat Russia’s revanchist policies pose to European stability and established international law, some European politicians, experts, and civic groups have expressed support for—or sympathy with—the Kremlin’s actions. These allies represent a diverse network of political influence reaching deep into Europe’s core. The Kremlin uses these Trojan horses to destabilize European politics so efficiently, that even Russia’s limited might could become a decisive factor in matters of European and international security.

  • Martin Kragh Är Ett Demokratiskt Problem” Hur Aftonbladet Gav Spridning Åt En Rysk Påverkansoperation

    Martin Kragh Är Ett Demokratiskt Problem” Hur Aftonbladet Gav Spridning Åt En Rysk Påverkansoperation

    419 ” Martin Kragh är ett demokratiskt problem” Hur Aftonbladet gav spridning åt en rysk påverkansoperation Martin Kragh Abstract On 7 February 2019 the largest evening paper in the Nordic countries, Aftonbladet, published an article on the scholar Martin Kragh, head of the Russia and Eurasia Programme at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs in Stockholm and researcher at Uppsala University. Kragh, according to Aftonbladet, was allegedly working for “a covert state intelligence organization in Great Britain,” and he should therefore be investigated “by Swedish media and the security police.” The problem with Aftonbladet’s claims is that they are false, and that they with a high degree of confidence had their origin in a Russian influence operation against the British think tank Institute for Statecraft. Using quantitative and qualitative method, this article analyses the origins and diffusion of the campaign internationally and in Sweden as an informational cascade. Inledning Den 7 februari 2019 publicerar Aftonbladet, Nordens största kvällstidning, en artikel om Martin Kragh, chef för Rysslands- och Eurasienprogrammet vid Utrikespolitiska institutet i Stockholm och forskare vid Institutet för Rysslands- och Eurasienstudier vid Uppsala universitet. Kragh, påstår Aftonbladet, har visat sig arbeta för ”en hemlig, statlig säkerhetsorganisation i Storbritannien”, och han borde därför utredas ”av svenska medier och säkerhetspolis” (Aftonbladet 2019a). Argumentationen följs upp den 12 februari, där det hävdas att ”enligt läckta dokument som brittisk press tar på allvar, misstänks Kragh arbeta för främmande makt, närmare bestämt den brittiska underrättelsetjänsten”, och Martin Kragh är docent i ekonomisk historia, forskare vid Institutet för Rysslands- och Eurasienstudier vid Uppsala universitet och chef för Rysslands- och Eurasienprogrammet vid Utrikespolitiska institutet.

    2017-10-11 17:44 CEST Piratpartier över hela världen stöder katalanska pirater mot censur Vi, Piratpartierna och de icke-statliga organisationerna i Piratrörelsen runt om i världen, uttrycker vår solidaritet med de katalanska piraterna, vars kampanjwebbplatser rörande folkomröstningen gällande självbestämmande samt användningen av Tor för närvarande censureras av de spanska myndigheterna. Dessutom uttrycker vi vår solidaritet med alla medborgare i Katalonien som har blivit mötta med våldsamt statligt förtryck när de utövat sin demokratiska rösträtt i folkomröstningen om oberoende. Vi fördömer all politisk censur. Den Internetcensur som sker av spanska myndigheter är en oacceptabel kränkning av de mänskliga rättigheterna och de politiska friheterna, oavsett lagenligheten av den katalanska folkomröstningen och de secessionistiska grunderna. Vi uppmanar Europaparlamentet, Europarådets parlamentariska församling och alla demokratiska regeringsorgan över hela världen att ingripa till stöd för demokrati och yttrandefrihet i Katalonien. Mänskliga brott, som det här blatanta åsidosättandet av yttrandefriheten, är aldrig en inre angelägenhet i något land utan hela mänsklighetens angelägenhet.

Kommunikationskonzept Präsentation Vorschlag Kommunikationskonzept. Siehe Anhang 1 und 2. Fazit: Die Positionsdokumente sollen regelmässiger, übersichtlicher, einfacher und strukturierter sein. Ziele: 1. Professionalität 2. Branding 3. Wiedererkennungswert 4. Hohe Reaktionsfähigkeit 5. Transparenz (Intern und Extern) 6. PPS Knowledge-base Das heutige System der Positionsdokumentation ist nicht genügend DS, TB 2011-06-02 strukturiert und führt zu Hinterfragung und Unzufriedenheit. Es genügt nicht unseren Anforderungen. Wir werden beim Vorstand beantragen, den vorgeschlagenen Prozess des Kommunikationskonzeptes gemäss Anhang um zu setzen. Unser Ziel ist, einen Mechanismus zu haben, um ein volles PPS Parteiprogramm, basierend auf unsere Grundwerten, zu erreichen. Die gesamte PPS Kommunikation wird auf unsere Grundwerten aufgebaut und deshalb nachvollziehbar und konsistent. Wir gehen davon aus, dass dies als selbstverständlich empfunden wird und zu einer effizienten Kommunikation führt. 1.1. Die heutige PPS hat eine Struktur, welche nicht zu einem offenen Alle Informationsaustausch einlädt. Wie hoffen, dass eine Kommunikationsstruktur wie oben unter Punkt 1 vorgeschlagen dazu beiträgt, dies zu verbessern. Alle 1.2. Mitglieder: Die gegenseitige Wahrnehmung sollte verbessert werden. – Idee: Eine „PPS -Zeitung“, Multimedial auf unser Webseite, wo einzelne Mitglieder ihre PPS-Arbeiten präsentiert können. – Idee: Mitglieder können vorschlagen, für welche PPS-Projekte ein Teil ihres Mitgliederbeitrags verwendet werden sollte. – Die Organisation von verschiedenen Treffen sollte ausgedehnt werden. d.h. mehr Ortschaften. 2. Finanzierung Alle Es ist zu erwarten, dass eine professionelle Kommunikation zu einer besseren externen Wahrnehmung unserer Partei führt.
