Wikileaks: Back in the here and now - The clothes of the Leviathan

E igentlich I wanted Wikileaks finally back to rest. But a few Thought gadgets and speculation on the topic: It would be interesting but if the content of the secrets held by the political actors, are not irrelevant in the end: Whether it be much more concerned that governments will ever need to have secrets, simply a certain authority to maintain. The opaque, but the mystery is just a guarantee of power. As long as we assume a black box, everything is good - but they will disappear, like all pretty banal.


remain basically but three models to explain the hysterical reactions of the policy in the event Assange:

- either Assange has actually highly sensitive
data - or Assange serves as a simple example of how far one can go within our democracies
- or is about to conceal, that there really is nothing to hide:

be sure, all three factors are likely to have a certain influence. For the last point but says that all the recent publications, even if they are hyped as a media scandal, in fact well-known practices or facts are: the Western Front. Knowing this will be tortured, you know, it is spying, etc., etc.

opens Perhaps here, in the dimension of the secret in politics, not just the fear of sensitive data in international to lose power struggle to the enemy but also to demystify the mystery of the policy, the area in which, for example, we go with political scientists such as Eric Voegelin or Leo Strauss with a certain level, mixed with the religious political .

were many conspiracy theory approaches, the latter hypothesis would be true, so that wonderful supporters of the status quo.

Once again the 18th Century - in an allegory

N for this time from the other side, the side of power rather than the singing of the people on the streets of view: Since Darth Vader is perhaps no more profound Power theorists given more than Michel Foucault. The man was not only a sociologist, philosopher and psychologist, but also, historians: In his little pamphlet entitled "The life of the infamous people ," originally intended for your own enjoyment, but later released, and by Gilles Deleuze was described as a masterpiece, has Foucault showed amazingly, as the life of ordinary, but is in any way accused of crimes, people become matters of power: suddenly they get too little charisma before they burn up again like shooting stars.


The solution Foucault, the power was not only disciplinary but also productive, here comes implicitly expressed: What did he mean? Power is creating: it produces the people, their self-image and their position in society. Once the power in the book about the infamous people in the form of the law, has the subject in view, changes the position of the subject, but also the position of power itself: the Considered is no longer a nobody, he is out of power as "enemies" recognized. He may be only because the law makes it to: For a short time, the offender, sometimes with Foucault mostly small crimes against morality and moral order, even Victim of defamation, then a somebody. Suddenly there appears a.

Completely much without the annoyance of theory Foucault demonstrates this with examples such as the power itself seems their -able opponent produces - spins to the presented in the little booklet idea a little further, you might say: what the power as threat is imminent, is also actually a threat - because the power to lift some light on what would otherwise be lost in the clamor and Gesause in the city and the market and never come to light.

The act alone, that someone is "raised" by the power of the offender leaves, rays of him. In this sense is perhaps less: "the medium is the message", but rather: "the mediator is the message."

Is It Bad To Take Expired Ativan?

An infinitely hot universe can not sufficiently cool

Hawking ("A Briefer History of Time") speaks of a "hot infinite universe at the time of the Big Bang. But w hen the universe would have started infinitely hot, despite cooling then it would still infinitely hot. That would be then, as in the figures. There are infinitely many natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, etc. If you like a particular Number of takes away, for example, one hundred million pieces, then remain still remain infinitely many natural numbers. So it is with infinity. Or Hawking (or his translator) uses this term and flippant means by "infinitely hot" just "very very hot," for example, 500 billion degrees. Quite possible that it was even hotter at the beginning ( here is 32 degrees from 10 to the speech), but not infinitely hot. Otherwise it would forever for anything to get too hot.

Static Electricty Out Of Blankets

The chant of the coming revolt

I n desperate haste he was looking for him. He wanted to destroy the piece of paper, burn him, but he had disappeared from his pockets.
"And when he noticed that copies of it through other bags circulated and were read in cafes, he decided to disappear themselves."
During his disappearance, there was extortion, conspiracy and purchasing information: On 17 August was the man arrested.



A scene from the 1749. Everywhere in Paris appear leaflets provided with poems and songs, to denounce the often polemical way, the aristocracy and even include internal information. The perpetrators: officials, nobles, Hofangestellte, students. The state feels threatened. The documentation of the investigation by the secret police still allows us a deeper insight into the events at that time.

And indeed, writes Robert Darnton, a historian and author of the book "Poetry and the police, public opinion and communication networks in the Paris of the 18th century," it seemed as if the entire Bevökerung begun to tune abusive songs on the rule and to write and distribute publications banned. Although Darnton notes of qualification, the police archives were an unreliable source that they say more alleged than real crime taking place, more than the view of police than of the population.

But he is also dedicated to the writings themselves, especially the poems. This shows that the poems were altered in the course of time and renewed. Derrida would have been a joy: Encountered but a constant revision and reinterpretation by others instead. As a result, the poems mirror the movement of a large mass opinion - the old Paris, then Anticipation of the age of mass media and public opinion? Darnton would say yes, with restrictions: For it was at this time no consciousness, no terms for what was a few years later called public opinion. Before we take this rather academic discussion, we draw again on the shape of the poems: The texts have several interesting features:

They show their scorn for members of the government are often not openly, but is encrypted, enter a puzzle. They are partly humorous and burlesque.

The content is again varied. It ranges from diatribes about Rumors and generally known to internal information from the royal house. The people of exchanges reflected echoes again in this vielstimmigem, constantly changing chant. Even if the anger in these songs gained increasing expression, yet he does not manifest itself in violence - rather, he was so Darnton, for the time being diluted by the clergy, then, a few decades later, and partly as a result of poor financial situation of the State to culminate in the great storm.

And in all this shows the interesting and topical: while the great philosophers of the time, the idea of public opinion as the true developed and the torch of the Enlightenment inflamed, jumped the spark touched when the people, on a completely different manner. A striking example of Darnton precisely this tension between the world of ideas and what comes out at the end of practice there.


aside the question whether as could be learned from history (the answer is obvious: yes and no) but can also just now amazing parallels to the Paris of the 18th Century, see:

For Assange attempt at a media revolution is both open to positive change, but also goes the other hand, precisely because the shouting and the singing and the varied interpretation is now inevitable, with an incredible Potential for irrational behavior and ultimately over-the conspiracy mania pregnant.

performance must be worth it!

N for who is doing anyway? There is very beautiful text to it at the Frankfurt website of the magazine to read Polar, which would actually put this one also FDP-philosophers to the heart. It will not read well but, as far too busy trying to catapult with abstruse hypotheses into the spotlight - it was granted to him is not much of an achievement.

keep Thus the sociologist Kai Dröge Sighard Neckel and anyway not longer. They come however, very quickly to the point: In times of crisis, when the stock market yields lower profits and carries more risks, you must take care of themselves to other sources of income. On the winning side stand to try these, in which one is freed from tax obligations.

"Such a policy, however, based on a fundamental misunderstanding: It assumes that the given distribution of wealth and income, as it appears before the redistribution through the welfare state, largely in accordance with the normative rules of performance principle had been obtained. However, there are few reasons to share this view. We know from history of modern society, that the merit principle has always been a subject of bitter political struggles, was fought in which about which human activities in general in the state are socially worthy of recognition performance are collected and what is not. "
Whether something counts as a power or not is , the authors controlled due to the distribution of power and the output of social struggle. One way to improve equity they see it in the visualization of performance that is insignificant or else is even made invisible.

The problem is of course also on the impossibility the "objective" measure of performance. How to they illustrate? As would be understood?


There is no possibility of objective measurement. So a big discussion about it here, what should really all be valued as a power. This would be especially in times of crisis, especially in times of absence appropriate militant unions - perhaps with it the stone that trigger those who feel down because of which "exploited," something good.

Today's intellectuals were there - a pious hope - a special role: A certain potential for self-reflection should be present with them yes. Then they could also remember coming more to the old Frankfurt: then do with his money to be able to philosophy, first of all, an advantage which is enabled by the performance of the other. They are to some degree that is in their debt. But that is probably asking too much: " An intellectual is a man whose mind observes itself" - Camus's slogan has long been well used already.

news of yesterday

D he Süddeutsche Zeitung released yesterday a study to ' prejudices in Germany ". Results: The winner fear the losers. The wealthy see them as the harbingers of their own social decline One would say yes reluctantly, one might even be reluctant to put in the box marked "ideological antiquity ", but a message from there. For tends to remind the study be at least a little of the as completely obsolete and outdated shown, with the stamp "Soviet ideology" branded Dimitrov thesis , according to which fascism represented by the crisis development of capitalism frightened middle class in the guise of the Savior of the Wohlstnads and good old capitalist system flattered. But Dimitroff, of course, is something of yesterday.

information as a difference? Wikileaks, the Second

M is to always go directly to the source. Therefore I have now lately some of the rather arbitrary "secret " with out referred to Newsflashes one of the newly created Wikileaks mirrors to mind - that is also highly recommended, but I would nevertheless again to my thesis of the previous post come back. Assange is a brave man to whom in terms of what he takes upon himself deserves great respect. No doubt. Also it may be that Wikileaks is in possession of documents that could actually exert a greater impact.



belong but since the recent scandals to Wikileaks? This can be beweifeln. Because they do only if the information for the people who get really accept the status of scandals. The real issue is the formula for Luhmann Information: information arises when a message is ripped by a difference to the previously known or suspected reality. But: is this so? Was created by the recent publications that difference, or they are not confirmed but the general picture of our current political culture? For our current perception of the (previously published) documents are still really half baked.

Not so "Wetten dass ..?" Of the accident at other hand, was in this sense, Luhmann's new information: here was a rift between expectation and reality.

Whether this gap opens up even with Wikileaks, and I'm me, at least in the recent publications, not so sure. It seems imperative, therefore, also be relevant and interesting actually, what happened to Assange yourself: This will be ultimately perhaps the real scandal Wikileaks'. So it is finally the question as perceived by the opponents of the recent revelations Wikileaks. Does it make a difference? If this were so, they would probably better off trying to act calmly. For perhaps the first will make the following responses to Wikileaks is now a real difference.

But there is also another dimension: What good is knowledge if it can not be contextualized? This is perhaps one of the really major dilemmas of mass media culture: the information is there. Only we can not not deal with it.

Surprise 50th Birthday Invitation Wording

Another theory: Wikileaks and the disenchanted

ORWAY V: The interesting thing to me is so far in dealing with the revelations Wikileaks was a standard in the published interview with Herfried Münkler . Clear Münkler is a geopolitical realist. From this he makes no secret - and he formulated a critique of the Wikileaksveröffentlichungen, which is understandable. After all, it is of course the interests of various power blocs, not a critical public (which has actually been proven several times that it does not). But I think that another plane has disappeared of the discussions on Wikileaks so far.

Could it be that the mysterious revelations that Wikileaks catapulted into the public world, not just sink into the morass of oblivion, because hardly anyone takes the trouble, to the countless Data provided evaluate but above all, because we are basically a society of disenchanted? And a perfidious way? Ally, the disillusionment at the end of the day not play again with his actual support, the fiction?
This may first appear absurd

two basic assumptions.

We actually know only too well that the foundations on which we build, both in political and in economic terms with deeds are crossed, the measured completely unacceptable to the example bourgeois ideals, even hateful are. Do you know anyone who would not look so - This is the dimension of our disillusionment.

But it is obviously not liveable mentality. That is why we invented again and again the islands of the faith: the critical public, for example. Of course, it's possible that ideas like this lies in the seeds of a coming change. But meanwhile, it looks unlikely. What's in the Wikileaks documents that we want but do not really know for sure.

How else could explain the fact that the media have almost unanimously to do nothing other than on the one hand nothings how to report the lack of creativity by Angela Merkel. highly stylized On the other hand Assange struggle for press freedom. Exactly to the part sinks into the rustling of the leaves to the fact it should go

This reflects the paradox of disillusion and Rescue in the belief in a new illusion again. We know that there are terrible injustices - we only want them do not know exactly. And the media presentation of Assange gives us too well to cast the responsibility, and thus a part of faith - for the hero that is always the same - to win back.

If these theses, they naturally give Herfried Münkler also quite implicit: For those who use the documents then really, the political powers will be, which could be obtained through the publications of Wikileaks cheap information advantages. And that is quite problematic

remains for the rest of entertainment, a wonderful here-a-boo game. The interplay between the Echauffierung about the mendacious policies and facilitating, but still found a savior in the information age to have .
