The Iron Dome may ultimately receive the American funding it needs, after progressive pressure led Democratic Party leadership in the House of Representatives to remove it from a broader bill, and then vowed to propose the aid as its own bill within days. But that doesn’t mean that the drama surrounding it is over.

Campact gegen Maaßen : Was ist erlaubt, um einen Kandidaten zu verhindern?
FAZ-21.09.2021 Damit Hans-Georg Maaßen nicht für die CDU in den Bundestag einzieht, verlangt die Organisation Campact, dass alle den SPD-Kandidaten im Wahlkreis unterstützen.
Bei der Linkspartei kommt das gar nicht gut an.
hat eine kurze Zündschnur. Das bekamen am Dienstag die Macher von Campact zu spüren, einem Verein, der es sich nach eigener Aussage zum Ziel gesetzt hat, mittels Online-Kampagnen „für eine progressive Politik“ zu streiten. Bei dieser Bundestagswahl ruft Campact in sechs der 299 Wahlkreise (Hannover II, Leverkusen, Dresden I, Lahn-Dill, Südthüringen und Zollernalb-Sigmaringen) dazu auf, „Klimablockierer und Rechtsaußen“ abzuwählen und den jeweils aussichtsreichsten Gegenkandidaten zu unterstützen. In Südthüringen hat nach Lage der Dinge der SPD-Bewerber Frank Ullrich die größte Chance, CDU-Kandidat Hans-Georg Maaßen zu besiegen – weshalb Campact nicht nur dafür trommelt, Ullrich zu wählen, sondern auch Anhänger anderer Parteien dazu bringen will, ihre Erststimme dem Sozialdemokraten zu geben.
Im Fall der Grünen funktionierte das bereits.

mena news:Venezuelan ex-spy chief captured in Madrid after two years on the run – by Joseph Fitsanakis

THE FORMER DIRECTOR OF Venezuela’s military spy agency has been captured in Madrid after two years on the run,

and is now likely to be extradited to the United States, where he will face drug trafficking charges. Hugo Carvajal is a retired general and former diplomat, who was a member of the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez’s inner circle. From 2004 to 2011, under Chávez’s tutelage, Carvajal headed Venezuela’s Directorate General of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM).

In 2008 the American government named Carvajal as a major facilitator of international drugs trafficking and imposed financial sanctions on his assets around the world. Washington accused Carvajal of assisting the paramilitary group known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) transport drugs from Latin America to Mexico, and from there to the US. Things took an interesting turn, however, when in February of 2019, Carvajal posted a video on social media in which he denounced Chávez’s successor, President Nicolás Maduro, and sided with his arch-nemesis, Juan Guaido, the President of the National Assembly of Venezuela.

In his video, Carvajal urged the Venezuelan armed forces to stop siding with Maduro and support Guaido as Venezuela’s acting president. Guaido is openly supported by the United States and dozens of other Western countries. Soon after making his announcement, Carvajal fled to Spain, where he was promptly arrested pursuant to a warrant issued by the US Department of Justice. The US then filed a formal request for the former spy chief’s extradition to America. However, amidst a series of contradictory decisions by Spanish courts, Carvajal disappeared in November of 2019. Since that time, he has been making statements on social media while remaining on the run.

All that changed on September 9, however, when Spanish police and US Drug Enforcement Administration agents forcibly entered an apartment in Madrid, and soon afterwards apprehended Carvajal. The former spy was reportedly wielding a knife until he was convinced by agents to disarm. According to media reports, it is now highly likely that Carvajal will be extradited to the United States, where he will face two choices: spend the rest of his life in prison or cooperate in a large-scale investigation of Venezuelan government officials and their connections to the FARC’s narcotics-trafficking operations.
