After Bern wants to lay the foundation for total surveillance under the guise of fighting crime, Thurgau is already one step further. The cantonal parliament has approved a tightening of the police law. In the future, the police will be able to search restaurants, hotels and erotic businesses as a preventive measure. This is intended to prevent human trafficking or serious drug-related offences. Not even a concrete reference to a criminal offense is necessary!

The second provision can affect anyone: the cantonal police can take a look at the smartphones and other electronic devices of citizens at any time when they are present. Neither an ongoing procedure nor a corresponding court order is required for this either. Only the FDP resisted. "Welcome to the snoopy state," commented the liberal cantonal councilor Michèle Strähl on the decision. The responsible government councilor Cornelia Komposch (SP), on the other hand, called the changes a “sign to the milieu”. I give flimsy excuses to introduce total surveillance.

So a policeman comes and asks for the cell phone... to check something? In Germany they are already further: Ms. Faeser (the woman for the inside) is pushing ahead with the plans that mobile phones may be monitored without cause. Starting with the messenger services. It should also be possible for individual users to be blocked from certain sites or for individual sites to be blocked (i.e. censored). All under the cloak of child protection. Welcome Autocracy! Why do people always look at North Korea with disdain? Soon there will be no difference. What kind of representatives of the people do we have!

Support Dravens Tales from the Crypt

Dravan flag NEW square 300 2"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
