In Berlin sprengt sich eine Selbstmordattentäterin in einer U-Bahnstation in die Luft. Ein Unbekannter wird an einer Bahnlinie südlich von Hamburg aufgefunden. In den Ermittlungen stellt sich heraus, dass er seit 2001 vermisst war. Er wurde offensichtlich gefoltert und befindet sich in einem schlechten Gesundheitszustand. Kurz darauf ziehen KHK Grzlak und sein Kollege Neumayer die Leiche des seit Jahren vermissten Lebensgefährten aus dem Stadtparksee in Hamburg. Die Spur führt über das US-Konsulat an der Alster und einen Schiffsabwracker an der Elbe nach Afghanistan und zurück in die Zeit der 1990er-Jahre.

Eine weitere Spur führt die Kommissare in die Sadomaso-Szene nach Schweden und auf den Hamburger Steindamm, auf den dortigen Straßenstrich am Hansaplatz. [mehr]

The book “Contemporary World Politics” outlines the trends in international politics in many aspects.. This is the first part of many similar books on the subject. This book covers politics, economics, foreign policy matters, sports fixes, etc. The premises of argument is that Sept-11 was a hoax engineered by the inside rogues in USA under the guidance of CIA-Pentagon duo and Zionist elements deciding policies for Americans. The main objectives of Sept-11 included invasion of Islamizing Afghanistan, wage war on Islam, defaming it as a terrorist religion, occupation of energy rich nations, killing of Muslims in millions, looting the resources form Islamic world, control energy resources of Mideast and Central Asia, control the old Silk Road for trade,
Terrorism is caused by anti-Islamic forces. Anti-Muslimism and anti-Islamism are more dangerous than "terrorism" Global media today, even in Muslim nations, are controlled by anti-Islam rogue agencies. Fake democracies have zero-tolerance to any criticism of their anti-Muslim and other aggressive practices. Anti-Islamic forces are harming genuine interests of Muslims by employing Muslim agents.
Humanity has a right to know the truth. [mehr]

The Man Who Would Be King (1888) is a novella by Rudyard Kipling. Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He is chiefly remembered for his tales and poems of British soldiers in India and his tales for children.
It is about two British adventurers in British India who become kings of Kafiristan, a remote part of Afghanistan. The story was inspired by the exploits of James Brooke, an Englishman who became the first White Rajah of Sarawak in Borneo; and by the travels of American adventurer Josiah Harlan, who was granted the title Prince of Ghor in perpetuity for himself and his descendants. It incorporates a number of other factual elements such as the European-like appearance of many Nuristani people, and an ending modelled on the return of the head of the explorer Adolf Schlagintweit to colonial administrators.
Kipling received the 1907 Nobel Prize for Literature, the youngest person ever to receive this award. He was born in Bombay, in the Bombay Presidency of British India, and was taken by his family to England when he was five years old. Kipling is best known for his works of fiction, including The Jungle Book. [mehr]

Since It Was The British Complications With Persia Which Mainly Furnished
What Pretext There Was For The Invasion Of Afghanistan By An Anglo-Indian
Army In 1839, Some Brief Recital Is Necessary Of The Relations Between
Great Britain And Persia Prior To That Aggression.
By A Treaty, Concluded between England And Persia In 1814, The Former
State Bound Itself, In case Of The Invasion Of Persia By Any European
Nation, To Aid The Shah Either With Troops From India Or By The Payment
Of An Annual Subsidy In support Of His War Expenses. It Was A Dangerous
Engagement, Even With The _Caveat_ Rendering the Undertaking inoperative
If Such Invasion Should Be Provoked by Persia. During the Fierce Struggle
Of 1825-7, Between Abbas Meerza And The Russian General Paskevitch,
England Refrained from Supporting persia Either With Men Or With Money,
And When Prostrate Persia Was In financial Extremities Because Of The War
Indemnity Which The Treaty Of Turkmanchai Imposed upon Her, England Took
Advantage Of Her Needs By Purchasing the Cancellation Of The Inconvenient
Obligation At The Cheap Cost Of About £300,000. It Was The Natural Result
Of This Transaction That English Influence With The Persian Court Should
Sensibly Decline, And It Was Not Less Natural That In conscious Weakness
Persia Should Fall Under The Domination Of Russian Influence. [mehr]

Wir fragen uns, wie die internationale Gemeinschaft reagieren sollte und welche Rolle Deutschland dabei spielen kann.
Wir sprechen mit Experten, Aktivisten und Betroffenen, die uns ihre Sicht der Dinge schildern. Wir berichten auch über die Bundestagswahl, die am 24. September stattfindet und die das politische Schicksal unseres Landes für die nächsten vier Jahre bestimmen wird. Wir analysieren die Programme, die Kandidaten und die Stimmung der Wähler. Wir zeigen Ihnen, wie Sie sich informieren, engagieren und Ihre Stimme abgeben können. Wir begleiten Sie live am Wahlabend und liefern Ihnen die neuesten Ergebnisse, Reaktionen und Kommentare. Wir widmen uns außerdem der Kultur, die in diesen schwierigen Zeiten eine wichtige Quelle der Inspiration, der Freude und der Hoffnung ist.
Wir stellen Ihnen einige interessante Künstler, Autoren, Musiker und Filmemacher vor, die mit ihren Werken die Welt ein bisschen schöner, bunter und vielfältiger machen. Wir laden Sie ein, ihre Kunst zu entdecken, zu genießen und zu unterstützen. Wir geben Ihnen Tipps, wie Sie selbst kreativ werden können und Ihre Talente zum Ausdruck bringen können. Und natürlich vergessen wir nicht den Humor, der bekanntlich die beste Medizin ist. Wir bieten Ihnen eine Auswahl an lustigen, skurrilen und satirischen Geschichten, Gedichten und Witzen. [mehr]

Harinath Paul (Hari) and Sam Krishna Roy (Sam) are two friends who joined Indian Railways at Kharagpur as a 5-years apprentice mechanical in January 1964.They became very closed and best friend each other. During this training period, Hari loved Maria (Anjali) an anglo-Indian girl whose father was Goerge Gomes, General Foreman of boiler shop in Kharagpur railway workshops,an original Britisher and mother(Agatha) an Indian Hindu Bengali woman.Agatha was residing in his outhouse as a full time domestic help before her marriage with George. After a long ups and down Hari and Anjali became a married couple where Sam played a leading role (both negetive and positive).
Sam became alone after demise of her wife at the age of about 40. Within a few years of his loneliness a terrorist couple took shelter in Sam's house as a tenant showing him the fake Government identity proof of Indian citizenship. Later both were arrested by the Kashmiri police with the help of Calcutta police. Actually, the young man, Md. Ibrahim introduced himself as Mohan Kumar (26-27) who was a Pakistani terrorist and married a Hindu Bengali girl introduced as Bina Kumar(23-24). They found no other alternate but to leave their only child of six months old under custody of Sam, the land lord who brought up her as his grand-daughter. Later she became a most efficient police offcer of Indian Police Service who also became terror to the terrorists of Jammu and Kashmir. She was awarded by Prsident of India for her gallantary service. But she was not happy and her eyes were searching her father and mother amongst the terrorist, live or dead in jail or out side the jail. Ultimately she found both her parents, but she accepted only her mother and left Jammu nd Kashmir on transfer with her grandpa and mother to Calcutta.How she got her parents was a story of thrill and wonderful with tears of emotion.
Anjali's history teacher of her school at Kharagpur railway township, Moinuddin proposed to marry her when she was in class twelve(10+2) as his second wife though he was having a wife live with a daughter. This could not materialise through a series of drama and climax. She became fade up with the jobs in various British and Indian private companies where she had to serve as confidential assistant to Managing Director or Director. Everything was good, but that was with sexual abuses in different forms. Otherwise there was no chance to continue the job. Finally she left the job and joined as a lecturer in a reputed college and started to stay at Calcutta 116 km away from her house at Kharagpur. Being a christian girl, she found easily accomodation in Young Women Christian Association(YWCA) in Calcutta where she came in contact with social service, particularly for the destitutes and older women who were left by their British husbands after British rules ended in 15th August 1947 in India.
Hasina, wife of Moinuddin started a school in their quarter at Kharagpur for the poor girls and illiterate women, particularly of Muslim community overcoming a huge obstacles posed by the Maulovis and Immams. Hasina initially, did not get support from her husband Moinuddin due to the life threatening from those Maulovis and Imamas. Fortunately, a Muslim police officer of Kharagpur police station helped Hasina in all respects to open her primary school. She believed that due to illiteracy and poverty, women of Muslim community become the prey of the patriarchal torture and deprivation socially and economically by them if those women do not obey the fatawah of Imam or Maulovi.
During the Indo-Pak war in 1965, a few maulovis were arrested and punished for the anti-Indian activities. These people were also against Hasina and they once kidnapped and assaulted physically her and her daughter when her husband Moinuddin went to his native village for her younger sister's marriage for a few days. There he found another set-back from his elder sister who was forcibly given Talak(divorce) by her husband on flimsy ground and came back with her two kids. Moinuddin then realised the bad result of poligamy which he himself once wanted to marry Anjai as second wife. He condemned this system of poligamy in Muslim community.
Hasina took initiative to make a non-violent movement with the help of Anjali, Hari and Sam and organised in a district, state and countrwide non-violent movement against all fundamentalists and orthodox Muslims who were doing all anti-Islamic activities, particularly torture on women of Muslim community. Later this fundamentalists and orthodox Muslims were known as Taliban, LeT and other terrorists groups indulging in killing innocent people in the name of Islam.
Hsina and her associates established All India Depressed and Deprived Women Organisation(AIDDWO) and Bilkis, an opressed and tortured Muslim woman became President of AIDDWO. Non-violent movement was spreding like fire throughout world, particularly terror-stricken countries like USA, India, UK, Afghanistan, Pakistan and others.
Military offensive started by Pakistan government against terrorists in Pakistan with the cvilian's support like APDDWO(All Pakistan Dipressed and Deprived Women Organisation), a sistern organisation of AIDDWO. This contued upto 2013 when terrorists were defeated and they surrendered under the two tongue operation by military offensive and civil non-violent movement enmass through out the terror stricken countries including USA, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, UK and others. Huge terrorists were killed with lesser number of army. Terrorists groups had to accept the Treaty of Peace forever. Thus Peace was regained in the world. [mehr]

Der ehemalige Hauptmann fährt an einer Polizeistation vorüber, stellt bald den Wagen nahe dem Fluss ab und steigt aus.Er ist in diesen Tagen diesem Versprechen nachgekommen: Jetzt als Heimkehrer, als Zivilist und nicht mehr als Soldat und Teil der Internationalen Koalition in Afghanistan, im Krieg, denkt er kurz.Bald schreiten sie einige Hunderte Meter weiter den Fluss entlang.Gleich wird es die für das Mädchen wichtige Vorstellung geben, denkt er, das ist alles fern des Krieges. Es geht hier im neuen Leben in Nordeuropa um eine anständige, gut bezahlte Anstellung und eine Ordnung und wohl Sicherheit, die man wieder leben kann.Dennoch gab und gibt es den Krieg in jenem Land.Es gibt das Leid der Völker, die fehlende, demokratische Stabilität und kaum Perspektiven auf ein besseres privates und gesellschaftliches Leben, auf bessere medizinische Einrichtungen und intakte staatliche Infrastrukturen, sichere Zustände, stattdessen, der weiterhin ins Feld geführte Krieg der Fundamentalisten, wenngleich sie dagegen ankämpften.Zerstörte Städte, Leid, Tod. Zerstörte Straßen, Leid, Tod und die schwache, noch nicht siegreiche Hoffnung auf Veränderung in den Gesichtern des einfachen Volkes. Das hatte er in den Straßen und an den Plätzen gesehen.Der Krieg herrscht weiterhin und die Minenfelder und Taliban wüten weiterhin in dem Land. Aber jetzt war er wieder in Europa und fern des Krieges und der fehlenden Hoffnungen. Er ist zurückgekehrt und Teil dieser Wirklichkeit und Gegenwart.Kurz schwadroniert jetzt wieder das sonderbare Gefühl des Krieges, wie ein seltsames schweres Leid. Es gibt die Plätze und oft denkt er an einen Auftrag am afghanischen Kriegsschauplatz, jagen in ihm die Bilder der Trümmer, der Trauerprozessionen wegen eines Kämpfers aus dem Volke für die Demokratie oder wegen eines getöteten, gefallenen Soldaten der Internationalen Koalition.So vernimmt er es auch in diesen Minuten, vor dem Zirkusbesuch mit der Nichte, zumindest wieder in seinem Bewusstsein.Unter dem grauweißen Himmel erkennen sie bald die verschiedenen Zelte und Aufmachungen der Veranstaltung. Über einen Parkplatz mit den Wagenkennzeichen aus der Stadt und Region gelangen sie weiter zum Hauptzelt. Sie schreiten über einen Schotterweg, wortlos, nur mit den hörbaren Schritten über den Steinen, weiter zu den aufgeschlagenen Zelten der Schausteller, die von irgendwoher aus der Bundesrepublik oder auch aus Frankreich hierher gereist sind. Es gibt die grellen, großen Werbeplakate und einige Familien, Arbeiterfamilien zumeist, die zum Hauptzelt schreiten.Sie gehen weiter.Neben einem Angestellten, noch an der Straße, krümmt sich ein alter, bettelnder Mann, der ein mitgenommenes, schmutziges Gesicht hat, schmutzige Kleidung, als hätte er die Nacht gerade so in der nahen Stadt vor dem Sieg der Kälte überstanden und sich etwas abseits hingesetzt hatte.Links der Angestellte, der herschreitet. Am Stein weiter hinten der Bettler und bald weitere Besucher.Sie halten kurz und gehen dann weiter zum Eingang und zur Kasse… Sie gelangen an einem Bierstand vorüber und der Mann denkt, er könne einige Bier trinken, aber schreitet weiter mit dem Mädchen.
Es wird sich woanders mit einem Bier ergeben. Und drinnen wird es ihr wohl gefallen. Vielleicht wird es ihn wirklich ablenken, und unterhalten in dieser neuen Zeit. Eine weitere Leiter ins und Koordinate im Zivilistenleben sein. Im Schatten des Zeltes mit den Pferden hört man leises Reden von Stadtleuten. Sie gehen weiter, ohne zu reden. Er begleitet das Mädchen, weil er es ihrer Mutter und dem Mädchen versprochen hatte und es passt zum wieder ruhigeren Leben und dieser Gegenwart, einige Monate nach seiner Rückkehr aus dem Krieg und den Soldatenlagern in Afghanistan, fern der Gefallenen, umkämpften Plätze und Strassen, fern der tötenden Minen und Gewehrsalven ...
Vielleicht wird es zumindest ihr gefallen, denkt er.Es wird irgendwelche richtig talentierten Seiltänzer und Tiger geben, die sie zähmen wollen und die man seltener sieht als irgendwelche toten Zivilisten in einem Kriegsland, denkt der Mann. Alles so weit entfernt des Krieges und der Sperrfeuer ...
Der ehemalige Soldat und das Mädchen gehen weiter. Er zahlt bald am Kassenwagen und steckt das klirrende Münzgeld zurück in die Tasche. Sie blickt unterdessen zum Plakat am Zirkuseingang, mit einer Abbildung von Betriebsmitarbeitern, Messerwerfern und Tigern darauf, vor einem Feld und Fluss, der irgendwohin (...) [mehr]
