Eine nahezu unglaubliche Flutkatastrophe hat diese Woche Valencia verwüstet. Erinnerungen an ein ähnliches Ereignis in Dubai Mitte April dieses Jahres kommen auf, bei dem Zusammenhänge mit Cloud-Seeding Aktivitäten in der Region vermutet wurden.
Das gegenüber Spanien in Afrika gelegene Marokko betreibt ebenfalls Cloud Seeding, worüber in Spanien bereits Besorgnis geäußert wurde.
Die Zeitung Marocco World News berichtete zum Beispiel am 25. August 2024 unter dem Titel „Morocco’s Cloud Seeding Plans Raise Concerns in Spain“ (Marokkos Cloud Seeding-Pläne lösen in Spanien Besorgnis aus) von Kritik aus Spanien, über „Bedenken hinsichtlich der Pläne des nordafrikanischen Landes …, die Niederschläge durch künstliche Wolkenimpfung zu erhöhen.“

And indeed, volatility has been a hallmark of the market environment so far in 2022, with the S&P 500 still down more than 10% for the year-to-date after first sliding into a correction last month. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, has held at a lofty level of more than 30. You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych. Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. If you initiate a Secret Chat, however, then these communications are end-to-end encrypted and are tied to the device you are using. That means it’s less convenient to access them across multiple platforms, but you are at far less risk of snooping. Back in the day, Secret Chats received some praise from the EFF, but the fact that its standard system isn’t as secure earned it some criticism. If you’re looking for something that is considered more reliable by privacy advocates, then Signal is the EFF’s preferred platform, although that too is not without some caveats.
