re: the fate of Mehmet Desde

Am 12.7. The Monitor reported ARD program by a further case of a German prison in Turkey: Mehmet Desde (whose name is not obviously so perfect for the tabloid coverage) is sitting in a Turkish prison, without any "hard evidence" against him. His trial was nothing but a farce. Desde was threatened, tortured, and sits in a miserable conditions.

In July 2002 Desde went to Turkey to attend the funeral of his father. He then took a few days holiday on the southern coast of Turkey, where he met with the Berlin-based journalist Mehmet Bakir. At that time appeared in the region leaflets of a "Bolshevik party Nordkudistan / Turkey", which ranks the authorities as "hostile to Turks and dangerous. Supposedly, this group have had connections to Germany. The investigation began. Here they came across and Desde Bakis and arrested them. The Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported: "The fact that they swore to be neither terrorists nor have ever heard of the Bolshevik party that Desde refused to sign a confession preformulated, spurred the ambition of officials at only.. A certificate of physicians of the Foundation for Human Rights in Izmir presented afterwards laid traces of physical and psychological torture " Desde was sentenced Even the prosecutor spoke out in negotiating for the release of Desde but it urged the court not by on December 26, 2006, the Supreme Court in Ankara upheld the verdict

Denounce monitor, distrust ... The ratio of the Lower Saxony state criminal police to justice

I thought it was really a thing from the madhouse when I heard this evening at Frontal 21 that the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) of Lower Saxony offers a supposedly anonymous way to report corruption cases . Sure, it sounds but also excellent, and as serious: " corruption and economic crime, business and the public harm New way to submit anonymous reports on the web.."

Well, go in a criminal case, the companies usually produce their own police / prosecution (even if an offense present), or the Federal Cartel Office cares. The general public? So the seed probably thinks himself:-work program. One reason why a public authority has to exist. Promotion of informing. Had we not been sufficient in Germany for? A state of doing something like that shows that he trusts no one. As a citizen I can not believe that the LKA Niedersachsen the unspeakable methods of informing not only permits, but even encourages it.

Frontal 21 has about the case the operator Müller (Federal Cross of Merit winner of the ) reported the opposite at one time a search warrant at his firm saw. Anonymous it was corruption which alleged that what was initially confirmed by a court on the basis of the present claims. Thus, the search warrant was formally legal. Mueller was initially very cooperative, showed the officers where the folders are located. Then he was sent to an interview with the prosecutor and the identification line. What he did not previously know was that the press was present. Muller saw itself in the moment when he, the original accusation on the part of the LKA learned the first time directly confronted with the press. The next day was at length about him and his company reported in the newspapers. Of course, had the immediate effect on demand; Customers away blkieben, sales plummeted. The economic damage was enormous. As a result, had to terminate several employees Müller, to compensate for the economic slump. At the end of the investigation showed that the accusations against Mueller were baseless and unfounded. After the case was closed, Mueller sent back his Order of Merit of the Federal President Köhler.

This Business Keeper called model of the LKA Niedersachsen Stafrechtler examined Prof. Backes closer. On the website of Frontal 21 is reported:
in criminal law, Prof. Dr. Otto Backes has studied the system and has come to clear results: "It was sought on the basis of anonymous reports and baseless allegations for evidence of a crime and it was the basis of which interfere with fundamental rights, it came in the investigation not only not out, it was rather innocent charged with interference. that they can still harm the long term. " Backes goes even further. "We have in all cases where a corruption allegation has been made, not found a single case in which the corruption allegation proves true would They were all innocent people who are here on suspicion been exposed

state taxes and social security burden on peak

ARD reported recently that according to the federal tax payer to tax and tax burden in the current year, growing to a peak of 53%. This means that all expenses for taxes and social security taxes only 47 cents per € to be desired. The Association of Taxpayers (BdSt) issued the following statement on the 13th July 2007 on the taxpayers' Memorial Day. "The taxpayer memorial day is calculated on the basis of the economic burden of income ratio This ratio is shown how much the state on the income of citizens and businesses through taxes and social security first deducted. For the year 2007 there are 53.01 percent and therefore can be the 13th July, 11.40 clock, as the exact date calculated to have to work on which the tax payers for the state. "


This refers to the BdSt on a study of Karl Bräuer Institut that the Vergeleichbarkeit statistical surveys, the OECD analyzed. It comes with the statement "In the case of Germany they are gathered based on incomplete data from the so-called financial statistics,
in which taxes and social contributions. (...) If the 120 billion euros in taxes and social contributions included, the in Financial statistics are missing, then the German tax rate increased by about 5.5 percentage points, which is significantly above the OECD average. " this, the Institute leads to the result with the statement that the income dependency ratio in Germany is currently at 52%. The study can here directly (pdf file) for download.

've While confirming the decline in corporate insolvencies, but rising consumer bankruptcies dramatically. Sure, the companies have to have entered into restructuring measures, which they led to higher profitability. It is also so that the flood of corporate bankruptcies in 1998 to 2004 of market adjustment have done, so that too is a reason for the decrease in the absolute number. The significant increase in personal bankruptcies, however, shows the effects of the excessive burdens of households. Herein lies the reason for the sustained weakness of the domestic purchasing power, since the effects are not only financial, but also psycho-sociological nature. Thus, the study concludes that "The German limit load in the international comparison also extremely remains high. ranked Thus, the unmarried and average earners in Germany in 2006 with a limit load ratio of 65.9 per cent in third place among the 30 countries compared. Only 34 cents of every additional euro earned land on account of the German singles, 66 Cent takes the Treasury. Only in Hungary and in Belgium the government access to wage growth is even sharper. In contrast, the limit load in Japan amounts to 33.2 per cent, to 34 per cent in the U.S. and the UK to 40.6 percent "

Aha ... we have an implementation problem, or still a problem of knowledge?

What Are Amf Bowling Prices On Weekdays

business taxes: placebo for the public

While trade unions, left-adjusted and social dreamer on just in the Bundesrat adopted the reform of corporation tax as gifts to upset the economy, the experts show skeptical about the alleged positive effects of the legislative work: So reports house demolished . "The Federal Ministry of Finance came to the conclusion that in a few exceptional cases, an additional burden can be ruled out first publications of the tax law and tax consultants even show that the expansion of the global base the tax reduction within narrow limits has and also can even increase the tax liability. " Aha ... Besides the fact that the over complicated German tax law, the second highest burden for German companies in the EU comparison brings to send this amendment is hardly a positive signal to the investment by corporations. In addition, professionals talk neither a simplification nor

tax system, including the work of even the most problematic components, such as changes in the tax base, which affects negatively in the end. So reports the Innovation Report :
"Because of their lack of coordination with the company tax it contradicts the objective of improving the financing of neutrality of taxation, since the burden on company profits, the proposed flat tax rate of 25 percent higher than on interest income, it therefore comes to discrimination. of equity financing, so the incentives to invest, in Germany affected be. And on tax simplification Article concludes that "in addition with the inclusion of additional substance-tax items in the base of the business tax, the tax system, compelling opportunity was missed by the acquisition of the corporate tax base for purposes of the trade tax is a tax simplification to achieve. " Meanwhile, Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck will not tire of proclaiming that
  • the tax law would attract investment
  • abolished avoidance situations and
  • strengthened the municipalities resulting from the reform.
The German business tax is the world a unique form of taxation.

Another criticism is the taxation of costs, which is unique in the German tax system and should provide lasting confidence in the site. Accordingly, companies that developments by borrowing (ie loans, loans, etc.) have to pre-finance also punished, in which the interest payable will be taxed on the same debts! It is feared that companies will promote capital-intensive industries from increased migration to other countries to get this fiscal Nonsense escape. It would not surprise if the peddle in the media boom soon cools noticeably.

After one and a half hours of negotiation: the case of Marco Weiss adjourned


On Friday morning that the Turkish court has adjourned the case of the 17-year-old Marco Weiss after a half-hour hearing. Thus, pulls the martyrdom of young people out for another month, until it comes to the next appointment. Marco should have testified today that he has consistently said it before: The "abused" Charlotte had told him about claims that she was 15 years old. Neither Charlotte nor her mother were present at the hearing. Aha ...

addition to what the news peddle: What do these news? You mean that could be achieved even after 1 1 / 2 hours of negotiations, no legally valid sentence in Turkey. How could they? In the case, so far out of allegations, no facts have come to light which might have supported the allegation of "sexual exploitation to the detriment of a minor." There is only word against another's. That's what I've posted here before: The mere detention is ridiculous, illegal, a violation of human rights and legal negligence and backwardness. When the Turkish authorities have no facts against Marco Weiss, he should not have to sit for a minute longer in jail as necessary. If they had facts, a news blackout would not be necessary. One could describe every journalist all credible allegations and evidence or circumstantial evidence, without having to hide. The whole thing is and will remain a disgraceful farce.

Hoe To Clean An Old Silk Padded Kimino

karstified, over-regulated, a chance ... Go or stay?

increases in recent years the number of German emigrants continuously. The main reason is the bad situation in the labor market, that government regulation thereof, and the inability "karst" rigidities to overcome. It is however, the unemployment rate would fall! And increase the available jobs would. But: 155,000 surety saw this in 2006 not as and sought their perspective abroad. Actually, it's no wonder: All the problems have been discussed in economic and employment law field between 2000 and 2004 in the public remained completely unresolved . The current "boom" conceals that all these pending problems as before.

Part of the problem is certainly a mentality (in economic terms) that prevails in this country. Obviously wants the German workers to be taken after completion of training of teaching, and up to that of his professional career at an end work to be employed. Thus the myth. Herein also lies the problem. The rise of temporary work ernome shows essentially one thing: companies still shun the regulations, unpredictable financial risks and disadvantages associated with a "normal" solzialversicherungspfichtigen workplace.

Only in higher skilled occupations such as engineers, architects, etc. This is different, because the demand of enterprises is greater than supply at the (German) labor market. Meanwhile, there is such that the number of compulsory social insurance employment conditions fell to about 48% of the labor market is. This means that this "ideal" has become a model minority
... So not the rule! Nevertheless, in view of the public acted as if the social security work is the norm. Not at all.

What does all this mean? It means that the less promising than regulating the labor market means that companies create just
not this requested jobs , but this deal, to be employed in a temporary employee. No wonder.

Prompts you in a discussion in the event of firing, with leftist panelists will throw reflex:
"Let's not American" hire and fire 'mentality . This is the typical response. But this argument is as wrong as short-sighted. In the U.S. (the economic picture of many fine German) is such that less-skilled (not to use the concept of bad-qualified) should look at two or three jobs to cover the cost of living. Which I do not disagree. But: In Germany, the situation far differently: Even some people here work in two or three jobs. Only these are often highly educated people such as lawyers, students, economists, lawyers, etc. This shows the imbalance our system, in which also provides a good education just not for a safe workplace.

Employment protection and its impact
Now we have time to ask what lies behind the criticism of the dismissal of all. The basic question is: How and why is a job created? A job is created when the entrepreneur operating the additional Labor under the present market conditions assesses so that it is a
More-to-earnings (ie return for the operation) provides. And this short term, but medium and long term. I want to tell everyone social dreamer clear that hardly any company has his work or his business, "in order to create a job." to create a job, is not an end ! This is probably in every country in this world like that, but politically it is not pronounced in Germany. But the guarantors must to know! Now it is important to under what conditions should be the creation of a workplace. This is - in Germany - the problem: not only the protection against dismissal, but even hänebüchene regulations in any respect, but also completely covered costs make this unattractive part in an international comparison. All too often forget workers that their gross wage cost to the employer once his employer's contribution to social funds, and thus to about 140% (of the employee's gross salary) are summed. Wants the worker to send a donation so financially (eg € 50 Net), so it costs operation loosely around € 110 Be honest: Who is the more aware?

What happens now if a small company a new, additional workers would like to adjust (AN)? The owner will first calculate how high the demand is, and make in relation to the cost of the new job. In addition, the economic outlook. We behave the market in three or four years? As the purchasing power of customers will be? In principle, the answer to this question depends solely on the "experience" and the speculation of the decision. A self-employed can not look beyond reasonable doubt (or predict) how market and purchasing power . Develop He can not even run on water. If the decision maker but to a positive decision (ie the new work "pays off" for the operation), there is an adjustment made. So far so great. What happens if the market situation deteriorated in a few years? Tax increase, purchasing power decreases, demand decreases. A social insurance work must be reduced because the costs do not cover more revenue. Now, does the protection against dismissal. Includes a section of the self of his farm, or even the whole operation, then the notice of termination possible. Does he have the work break down but only because of the worsening market situation, the worker will initiate a rule, a dismissal action . This
car mechanism is held the self in recent years, often it has to create such a work, even though the work situation and job situation would have allowed this. If things go well, AN and AG agree to the court for a compensation payment that is based on the applicable tariff. Often these are about 50% monthly gross salary per year. Was an employee or five years for a monthly € 3,000 employees, could in our example Agreement on a compensation amount of € 7,500 are located. That's a lot of money for a small business. In other words: The government has created in labor Rahmenbedigungen in which imposes the risk of the real economy, the self indeed, other conditions may, however, almost any answer for themselves (income tax rate, employment protection laws, indirect taxes increased to fuel Grunsteuern, etc.)

geschähe What if the dismissal was lost? The reversal of the above example scenario shows that an operation could be much more responsive to increasing demand (and a job schäffer) would, if the hurdles this would be low. Let us return to the U.S. where workers are in constant awareness that may be the end of an employment relationship nevertheless a new opportunity
. In many cases there is already around the corner, a new job, and life goes on. Is the average unemployment in the USA was just 4%. The willingness for flexible acceptance of reality is there are far greater.

Not so in Germany. This leads precisely to the fact that educated people
no find entry into the workforce, and odd jobs need to stay afloat. In the U.S., well-educated people are paid first class favorite playing grounds, and find - her own support when they lose a job (z, B, through bankruptcy, age-related business task marrow change, etc.) - a new job quickly. Between workers and employers are much lower barriers and self-will encourage them to broaden their and exercise. On the other hand, few-qualified are paid less. Yes, this is so. And?
In Germany we hear every day 10 times the concept of "social justice" . On the other hand, is rarely spoken of "equal opportunity" . Therefore, I strongly suspect that the number of emigrants in 2007 will exceed 155 000 again .... This in a country that is facing major demographic upheavals. Go or stay (again)?

Federal Trojan software detected in ELSTER

On 1 April 2007 declared the Chaos Computer Club :

"Since 19 March 2007, the current ELSTER software for the year 2006/2007 in the version 8.1.0.0 is available [1] for the taxpayers. From the beginning, experts harbored doubts about the integrity of the 18 MB. exe file. After several days of intensive analysis found the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) is now strong evidence that on the questionable software of the so-called Federal Trojan [2] is spread.

The Federal Trojan, recently got a new tool of the surveillance state in the headlines is to allow the spying of total taxable population. Any citizen with a private income is required in the future to make the tax return by ELSTER software. The fact that the CCC after a few days managed to make the Trojans find speaks, not just for the quality of the spy software.

The analysis showed several suspicious modules, such as wte0104-brsjm.digit, among other things, present microphones and cameras in modern computers can turn. Other routines are used to search the files stored on the computer. A function sends data from the user's computer remotely to the BKA computer with the IP address 217.7.176.25 [3].

The Trojans apparently replaced some system files in order to settle down regardless of the ELSTER program on the system. The malware then forces a reboot of the computer. The screen of the computer involved to get the error message: "System Error 70797976 - reboot."

is Ironically a port open on the infected computer which makes it possible to load new jobs. This is problematic because the search function contains a vulnerability that allows an attacker to not only search terms, but any data and executable code to place on the computer. "This is the unseen manipulation of all data opens the floodgates," said CCC special expert Jens-Thorsten Janckiewozki.

A first exploitation of this Nachladeschwachstelle was observed even in the wild. A difficult to be analyzed, put on vulnerabilities of the Federal Trojan worm is probably the interception of PIN and TAN feeds from online banking users of the Postal Bank. Also, first groups of hijacked computers to so-called botnets were observed in the course of Saturday. The head of the BSI had Botnets recently identified as the greatest danger on the Internet.

So far, neither reached the BKA nor the Federal Ministry of the Interior for an opinion. Under the hood was a technician of the BKA, however, that had written in his own ranks no one Trojan. But had to be recruited for reasons of cost in foreign experts. The major antivirus vendors have now also started analyzing and hope in the next few days to distribute such updates "

The Tale of the just state (documentation)

(How we raked the state with taxes)




Hi, I
left here to a TV documentary that was recently broadcast on ARD. What do I well to think that in my view very nicely shows how ineffective and irrsinning some of the regulations is in Deutschlnad are. The theme of "redistribution" and its impact annoys me as a citizen up-to-go-no-more , and I will this is probably appeal more often here. Insofar as this document is certainly a good, first offense, to think about the German Umverteilungswut thoughts. Certainly, one must not accept uncritically what is on TV. Who's going but with open eyes through the world, find his observations is reproduced and confirmed. Like to thank the uploader images this document. I myself had already seen twice on TV, but unfortunately failed to take them. I hope that in terms of fair use no one comes out that this documentary is here gespostet.
