My Opinion

nothing but my opinion

Why you should overthink any business relationship with Turkish business partners?

Alanya TurkeySince Erdogan got elected as President from the Turkey the country is showing their true face. The country is changing from a democracy into a dictatorship. It seems that this dictatorship does not stop at the border from Turkey. Erdogan tries to take the whole world into hostage for his own interests. The hillbillies are thinking that they can even put other countries under pressure. So it happens that they even not understand the freedom of press, which is one of the basic rights in the Western World.

So it has happened that the Austrian daily newspaper "Kronenzeitung" has reported about actual cases happened in Turkey. For promoting their business they have a display showing their captions at the airport in Vienna - Schwechat. At this display are got shown the caption "Who makes vacation in Turkey, supports Erdogan" and at the time the Turkish supreme court canceled made the sex with children legal by canceling the children abuse law: "Turkey allows sex with children"

The Turkish resort Alanya and the community Schwechat had 15 years long a city partnership. This partnership got now canceled from the Turkish partner for the reason of the promotion from the private newspaper "Kronenzeitung" and the private airport company "Flughafen Wien Betriebsgesellschaft". The community has no influence on both companies.

For the case you have a Turkish business partner you should be aware that this business partner will act the same way. He will simple cancel contracts for a reason where you even have no influence on it. With Erdogan as president from the Turkey the Turkish people are feeling themselves as the masters of the world. Such people are not really trustful in making business and you should verify as often as you can that your business partner is fulfilling his duties.

Everybody has the right cancelling a contract, but using a reason on what you have no influence for it shows you how trustful the coward has been.

My personal opinion about the attempted coup from the military against the Turkish president Erdogan is that it has been only a staged show or the Turkish military is so incompetent and unable to do something. The first case has given Erdogan only a reason to remove his opposition by putting them into jail as we have seen it by following the news. For the second case remains for me the question how bad is the Turkish military trained? How will such a military be able to protect a country and their borders?

Update September 5, 2016: The Turkey shows with the following decision again that they are already a dictatorship and not a trusted partner for the Western World. In the news gets found the following article:

By order of the Turkish Foreign Ministry an archeology team had to end its excavations in the ancient city of Ephesus west coast, like the Turkish news agency Dogan reported yesterday. The reason for this statement are the tensions between Vienna and Ankara.

The excavations were completed on 31 August - two months before the regular end of the project. The activities of the Austrian Archaeological Institute (ÖAI) in Ephesus has a very long tradition, such work will take place since 1895th participate annually to the 250 scientists from up to 20 countries to the archeological major project.

With this step, the freedom of science is continuing to decline.

Update September 8, 2016: Another case shows that Turkey is far away from a democracy and cannot be in any community. The broadcaster Deutsche Welle has made an interview with the Turkish Minister of Sport. After the interview the recordings got immediately confiscated from the Turkish authorities. It seems that the Turkish Minister of Sport does not know how the freedom of press is one of the basic rules in a free world.

Such a moves only shows that Turkey is not a serious partner for anything. Therefore, not one can offer such people joining any community.

 

Malware from the military and police is ruling the black market

Black Market Live from the governmentThe black market for malware is far from settled beyond any prosecution because it is ruled by the military and police of Western democracies.

Two weeks after an extensive program package had arrived for attacking firewalls from leading companies, came on Friday the so far most dangerous malware for iPhones to the public. Although the circumstances that they become known are completely different, both cases have one thing in common. Neither against Apple's iOS nor that against the operating systems of all firewalls directed package has a criminal background.

In both cases, the malicious files from the public sector and there just not from the usual suspects "Cyber rogues" Russia or China. For the attack tools on firewalls from Cisco to Fortinet, the NSA was at least the client. The iPhone malware got developed by the Israeli company NSO, a supplier for the Mossad.

We'll find additional at the Wall Street Journal article "Smartphones Become Next Frontier in Cybersecurity" from Jul 31, 2014 the information:

Private-equity firm Francisco Partners Management LLC earlier this year paid $110 million to acquire NSO Group, an Israeli startup that aims to help governments spy on individual mobile phones

The same company also has the firewall vendor Barracuda and specialized on Network Monitoring company Blue Coat in their portfolio.

Pandora's Box

Why the black market is settled for such malware far beyond any prosecution? This market would be interfering at least since 2000, no longer criminals, but military and police authorities. This Pandora's Box was open since 2000 and criminals were to distinguish more difficult by the authorities.

The US has begun and just tried once, whether they can enforce the use of malware in their country. This has at least according to its laws and works. After that, more and more Western democracies have been taking their right to use malware, first only in the intelligence field; afterwards they used it also in law enforcement. The so-called 'police Trojans' are nothing than malicious software.

Legalization of criminal activities

Since almost not one country had the necessary know-how and resources to develop all these attack tools themselves, they outsourced the production and maintenance to private companies. What was still considered criminal in the 90s, got step by step legalized. The black market for malware was therefore created by government agencies. Their demand fueled the market for malicious software continue running on, which is reflected in rapidly growing sales of commercial operators. The increasing sales in this sector are the sole reason why more and more new companies emerge in this market.

All Cisco Firewalls are affected

All versions of the operating systems from the Cisco product series PIX and ASA within the last 15 years are clearly concerned with very few exceptions. The development of attacking tools therefore launched shortly after the first PIX were delivered in 1996, the very last specimens of this product range reached just the end of their lifetime.

The so-called "Equation Group", of which the as yet unknown "Shadow Broker" these files allegedly stolen has, so the firewalls alone systematically attacked by Cisco for at least 15 years and their malicious code obviously adapted to every major update of the operating system. For the newer firewalls from the type ASA were hitherto found two so called "0-Day exploits", the name for attacking software for previously undiscovered vulnerabilities in an operating system. Cisco has indeed already ruled with a security update for its ASA operating system, but it is questionable whether it also against modified versions of the attack software helps.

Three "0 day exploits" against iPhone

The intruder tool for iPhone consists of three of these "0-day exploits" that contaminate the device via a single link in a text message, which had resulted in an investigation into the security firm "Lookout" with Canadian "Citizen Lab". The human rights activist Ahmed Mansoor from the United Arab Emirates had received an SMS with an embedded link what allegedly referred to a website with new information on torture in the dictatorial Emirates.

Mansoor did not click the link, but forwarded the SMS to the Canadian Citizen Lab for examination. Together with the dedicated security company for smartphones and tablets the company Lookout tested the consequences of a click on this link. The result has been the installation of a "completely invisible" spying software from the Israeli "cyber war" company NSO. Apparently for "security reasons" NSO even does not maintain a website.

The human rights activist Ahmed Mansoor was attacked for the third time since 2011. The company FinFisher (aka "Gamma Group") comes from Germany, "Hacking Team" is Italian origin.

The powerlessness of prosecutors

Although both cases are mounted quite different, and the circumstances are particularly in the case of firewall hacks in the darkness, but can draw some conclusions without overusing speculations. In both cases, the military intelligence services from Western democracies (US and Israel) are the principal for this high-quality malicious software. The anti-malware iPhones was sold to an alliance with the West dictatorship in the Persian Gulf, which thus spied the democratic opposition in his own country.

The malicious software to firewalls was commissioned by the US secret service NSA in order to attack the products for network security of the leading US companies Cisco, Fortinet and Juniper. Of particular interest in this case is that of all the world’s leading firewall manufacturers, the Israeli-American company Checkpoint, is missing from the recent publications from the until now unknown "Shadow Broker".

Schizophrenia, black market, cyber crime - a conclusion

From these two paradoxes is it not difficult to deduce, use what schizophrenic situation the Western democracies by the decision, methods and tools of criminals, have conjured up. The States thus have even created a global black market for "cyber weapons" and made large, parallel rise offenses of "cyber crime" range exponentially in higher spheres.

The prosecutors are faced with an almost impossible task because they can never take the backers, so the producers, namely because the own military or even the police authorities themselves their clients. The authorities of Western democracies can save their warnings against "Russian hackers" or "the Chinese" therefore, because these accusations are just embarrassing. It is quite comparable to that scene from the "last days of humanity" where one prostitute insulted another one with the words "Such a whore!".

 

"Allahu akbar" - and what an unbeliever thinks about it

KaabaI can understand how bad it must be for a peace-loving, believer when murdered somewhere in the world in the name of his god. "Allahu akbar" means "God is great" and is simply an act of faith, which probably pronounce every Muslim at prayer or at different occasions.

Every time a suicide bomber calls "Allahu akbar!" before he ignites his explosive belt or with the machete man starts, like a stitch must for a believer feel the heart. One harmless but important religious phrase is robbed the innocence, it is made to their war cry. The situation is already as bad as you cannot bring the sentence itself, without getting suspicious.

If you once whisper innocently "Allahu akbar" in the tram, bus or at a public place, all the bystanders wince overlook a suspiciously or take even panicky flight. No, it cannot be pleasant. Probably wants to be on some days when ruling on all channels the terrorist messages prefer crawl home.

I can also understand how much it must annoy a peace-loving, devout Muslim, to be pushed back again and again after each attempt to distance himself from the assassins. "Well, what do you say?", You will probably demand a challenging tone several times a day - from close friends as well as by casual acquaintances, in the work break in the cafeteria, in the school yard and on Facebook.

So, as if you are related to the terrorists, like as if one had only yesterday phoned them or as it is otherwise responsible somehow for the behavior of wild strangers. I can understand why the questions getting asked. Why should have a devout Muslim to violence a different opinion as a devout Christian, a staunch atheist or else a normal sentient human? Assuming that not already the question is from a kind which makes a Muslim co-responsibility and pushes him accusingly in a corner from which it is hard to disentangle, without getting moral scratches?

What I completely cannot understand is that not much more vigorously defend the million peace-loving, righteous, devout Muslims throughout the world against what terrorists do with their faith.

I imagine ungodly before, strange guys would kidnap my God, in his alleged order to commit the most atrocious crimes, they would all that I hold sacred twist, pervert and abuse for their own destructive purposes and then then even claim they have the for "all Muslims", i.e. done for me - then you can make it happen without objection that yet! If one has because if one is a believer, not the heartfelt desire to take his God in protection?

Will you not defend your God against his perverted fans? Is it not necessary to protect your God and his name against the murders and rapists? Why are you allowing to burn down in his name? "Nobody kills in my name!", takes a stand on the banners that Muslims around the world millions of times held in the height (at least where it is safe to do so). "Our God is not your God!", would preachers, politicians, scholars or other tribunes call the IS. Or: "You are not Muslims!"

People of faith will not do all this to make themselves popular to unbelievers or distance themselves from their God. They would do it because their God and their religion would be so important for them. Are people not only using their religion for their own purpose if they are not distance themselves from terrorists and criminals? Which value has the religion really for such people? Which value can have a religion with such a kind of followers? Who will trust into the teachings from such a religion? Isn’t it a nice kind of promotion for a religion?

But perhaps all that follows merely a logic that can occur only from an unbeliever…

 

Double standard: This Islamic country is the new world-Sex-center

So far, Thailand was considered the global center of cheap sex. Now another country prepares to become the red center of the world. It is just there preached particularly loud morality.

Flashing neon signs in sultry tropical night, music which penetrates from bars and massage parlors. In between women who are stalking around with a swinging butt on high heels. Her short skirts and tight tops have a clear view of a lot of skin.

"Happy Massage" is on welcoming signs. This is not Bangkok, whose sex industry enjoys a legendary reputation. This is Bukit Bintang, an entertainment district in Kuala Lumpur. The Islamic Malaysia is well on the way to Thailand and the Philippines as a red light center of the world to outdo.

Two contradictory faces of the same country: Malaysia with its multicultural society prides itself while still being one of the more moderate Muslim nations of the earth, at the same time; however, take the orthodox tendencies, such as the number of head veil on the streets of Southeast Asian state.

Female stimuli are taboo. Like Sex

At public buildings across the country emblazoned posters urging a "dress appropriately". Free shoulders and bare knees for women are not allowed to offices. Tight outfits from a woman can cause a national outcry, as happened recently in the case of successful gymnast Farah Ann Abdul Hadi. Although they took in the Southeast Asia Games last summer home six shiny medals for Malaysia, but was still vilified publicly.

The Minister of Islamic Affairs, Jamil Khir Baharom wanted, has recognized under her skimpy leotard "the shape of her vagina," and so he called shrilly for "stricter observance of the Islamic dress rules for sports and other areas". For me it looks like the Malaysian Minister of Islamic Affairs seems to be a sex maniac because he shows with his observations where he is looking during a sports contest. I would like to recommend him urgently to search help in a psychiatric clinic. Other, even the Chair of the Women Wing at the National Muslim Youth Association, Roszida Kamaruddin, joined in with the Minister of Islamic Affairs. Female stimuli are taboo. Just as sex.

Smooching and other intimacies in public are prohibited and will be severely punished. Those caught in sexual conduct in a public place, not only has up to 20 years in prison count, but also by caning.

Prostitution is illegal, but the sex trade flourishes

Three young women have made 2010 headlines, because they were sentenced as first "delinquents" of this kind to blows. They had slept before marriage with men. Meanwhile, arranged by the sharia corporal punishment for similar offenses are hardly special messages in Malaysia.

Prostitution is - in contrast to other countries - in Malaysia illegally. Yet the trade flourishes with sex than in almost any other country. The Malaysian sex industry is worth the equivalent of over 960 million dollars, it is said on the website of Havocscope Global Black Market information that examines the global black market.

Even 200 years ago found foreign loggers, sailors and miners on the Malaysian peninsula ladies who hawked their bodies. But these prostitutes worked mainly in clearly defined sin miles in the big cities. Today there is are small brothels, the love hotels and "massage parlors" have everywhere spread in the country - even in regions where the ultra-conservative Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS) is in charge. And the Internet erotic services are quite open. The authorities look somewhere else, while simultaneously preaching morality, whenever they can.

In Germany, where prostitution is not immoral since 2001, coming in section 49 prostitutes at 10,000 people. Even Thailand is by far not as a cesspool, as many believe the West: There are only 45 sex workers per 10,000 people. But in Malaysia with so many demurely veiled women and strict regional sharia, there are even 52.

The commercial sex was visible to all. But nobody talks about it. On the contrary: The ruling party United Malays National Organization (Umno) of Prime Minister Najib Razak is located chaste and puritanical. Najib is accused of corruption. His coalition has plugged a low blow after another. She needs every voter, they can get. And therefore it curries favor of the Conservatives and uses the religion for their election campaign.

"Women are punished, but no one thinks to their customers"

"Politicians are afraid that it calls into question their piety, because then they annoy voters or could lose," said the woman activist Ivy Josiah. She had defended a prostitute last year, which was arrested by an undercover policeman and sentenced in court to six months in prison because they had offered him sexual services. One should not condemn sex workers, said Ivy Josiah. "It is always sad that women are constantly punished for such acts while not given a thought to their customers."

Malaysian women prostitute themselves mostly out of necessity. Many are single mothers. In addition, an increasing number of students who can pay for their education or a little luxury of suitors, because there are hardly any scholarships or even something like student loans.

Over the past decade also flow women and girls from poorer neighboring countries of Burma, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, in Malaysia's brothels. The US has set the country on the black list of states with particularly nasty trafficking and even child prostitution. According to reports, even police officers involved in human smuggling. Again, the politicians mostly closed eyes.

Instead, they discuss publicly whether their home the "Hudud", the strict Sharia criminal law, is intended to introduce, and flare up further on to scarce jerseys their sports stars. Simultaneously, the streetwalker evening walks further lasciviously over the sidewalks. Demand is high: A roaring trade in a bigoted society.

 

Politicians are only incompetent big liars - example "BREXIT"

Please accept before reading this article that I'm neither for nor against the European Union. This article shall only show how politicians are scamming their voters. These stupid idiots have even no plan for the case they are in need fulfill their own election promises. The only idea they have is to revoke their own promises and let everything like it is. Who is able to trust such liars? Who needs such losers and liars?

The incompetence from politicians gets already shown in the contracts from the European Union. The European Union has to wait now until the United Kingdom invokes the article 50 from the Lisbon contract. From the site of the European Union can get done nothing to kick out a single member country, where some politicians like to make some local political capital by acting against the union. That means one single member country can take all the other members from the union into their hostage for playing their own populist gimmicks. Which idiots have made such contracts that can get canceled only from one site? Are all these contracts made from decrepit old people suffering on dementia or the politicians have not yet outgrown from their kindergarten age and sandbox shenanigans? Where get some common sense found in such a case?

The central slogan of the "BREXIT" campaign has been "getting back the control over our country". But for all those who believed to the UKIP boss Nigel Farage and Tory Boris Johnson the jubilation is short. The leaders of the EU exit movement lost after the announcement of the voting results no time, to distance themselves from their own promises.

The end result was not yet four hours old, since the head of the right-wing populist UK Independence Party relativized (UKIP) Nigel Farage on Friday already one of the key promises of "Leave" campaign: In the ITV program "Good Morning Britain" said the UKIP -politician that he could not guarantee that, as announced by the "BREXIT"-supporters 350 million pounds per week instead of the EU now went to the Health Service.

"That was one of the mistakes the, 'Leave' campaign has made," the EU-parliamentarian said on Friday. He had thus not advertised. "You have to understand that I was excluded from the campaign and I have, as always, done my own thing." Certainly Farage had heard during the election campaign that the "Leave" camp campaigned so - and before the vote never said a word about lost that this promise might be untenable.

On Saturday rowed the conservative outlet advocates, the British EU-parliamentarian Daniel Hannan, the most important - and most crucial - topic, immigration, return. Opposite the BBC Hannan literally said: "Frankly, if people who voted, believing that there will now be no more immigration from the EU, they will be disappointed."

Yet on June 1, Johnson said that the "is automatic right for all EU citizens in the UK to live and work end for a vote for the exit." The "Leave" campaign had instead promised a tough Australian immigration model for EU citizens.

The reactions in the social networks on Hannans statements of disappointed "Remain"-supporters were not long in coming:

@ianpatterson99

Daniel Hannan has the most bare faced cheek I've seen in a politician: he knew before Thursday how his imigration promise was being heard

2016-06-25T08:01:13+0000

Another one summed up:

@HaveIGotNewsForYou

With Nigel Farage dismissing Leave's NHS pledge and Dan Hannan saying immigration won't fall, Britain realises it's voted for bendy bananas.

2016-06-24T19:39:54+0000

Among the hashtags "#Bregret" and "#WhatHaveWeDone" the result was debated on Twitter over the weekend. There were, however, more EU supporters who expressed their incomprehension and anger at the "Leave voters, not actually repentant". Proposed referendum on United Kingdom membership of the European Union voters.

The London ex-mayor Boris Johnson, who is now considered a leading candidate to succeed David Cameron as leader of the conservative Tories and as premier, for his part stressed in his first speech Friday morning that there was no need to rush the withdrawal from the EU. He also saw no need to make use of Article 50 of the Lisbon contract, so Johnson, one of the leaders of the "BREXIT" campaign. This would require the completion of exit negotiations within two years.

Matthew Elliott, chief of the "BREXIT" campaign, expressed himself similar. He wants to allow unofficial negotiations with the EU, such as on access to the single market or the EU passport for financial institutions, the freedom of access to EU capital markets, before submitting an official letter. "It would be the best if the dust can place down over the summer and using the time for informal negotiations with other countries. We don’t believe that is the best to invoke Article 50 quickly."

During the election campaign had Johnson and Co. of course in all their performances gives the impression that each additional day in the EU is a lost day for the United Kingdom. It turns out: After the vote is not before the vote - at least in terms of the promise of the "BREXIT" - supporters.

My opinion is, if the people would deport all the politicians to isolated islands without any return possibility, the politicians will not get missed from someone. The world would even be a better place if such scammers are getting removed from their sham jobs. As long as politicians can not be held responsible for their doings nothing will change. Changes are only possible if the politicians can be held liable with their private assets and their campaign promises are enforceable. Each business and each private person has a higher liability risk than any politician.
