Das Werk ist ein Bericht, dass die Erkenntnisse um den so genannten BER-Skandal zusammenfasst wie sie aus Sicht der Piratenfraktion im Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus und der Arbeit im damit beschäftigten Untersuchungsausschuss erwachsen. Die gravierenden Mängel in der Standortwahl, die verwirrenden und zum Teil unlauteren Verstrickungen von Firmen und Einzelpersonen in die geplante Privatisierung des zukünftigen Flughafens und die unzulässige Einwirkung von öffentlichen Einrichtungen auf unabhängige Beteiligungsverfahren sind die Schwerpunkte dieser Arbeit. Die Autoren betrachten über den Zeitraum zwischen 1994 und 2004 die Vorgänge um das Projekt im Land Berlin, Brandenburg und der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und schlagen Bögen zur skandalösen Situation des Flughafenneubaus im Jahr 2013....

Scene – 1 Voice Over: Under the British Raj in India, the self-indulging Nizams of Hyderabad abdicated the administration of their vast principality to doralu, the village heads, letting them turn the areas under their domain into their personal fiefdoms. While the successive Nizams were obsessed with building palaces and acquiring jewelry, the village heads succeeded in ushering in an oppressive era of tyrannical order. Acting as loose cannon from their palatial houses called gadis, the doralu succeeded in foisting an inimical feudal order upon the downtrodden dalits. Besides making these dalits toil for them as cheap labor without impunity, the doralu had no qualms in making vassals out of the hapless women folk. What with the police patels and the revenue patwaris in nexus with the landed gentry and the moneyed shaukars making a common cause with the doralu in their unabated exploitation, their sub-human condition ensured that the dalits were distressed economically, degraded socially and debased morally. Ironically, lending the privileged few the muscle power to perpetrate the inimical social order were their henchmen f...

ACTUALITATEA PARADOXISMULUI Prefață Polemici privind paradoxismul și diverse interviuri vă prezentăm ȋn prima parte a acestei cărți. Ȋn cea de-a doua parte, veți constata actualitatea paradoxismului ȋn FOLCLORUL contemporan. Și anume: - Devieri derizorii de proverbe, făcȃnd astăzi hazul de necaz al omului de rȃnd: Fie pȃinea cât de rea, tot ți-o fură cineva. Ai carte, ai cu ce să te ştergi la fund. Lasă pe mâine ce poţi face azi, că poate mâine nu mai este nevoie. - Reinterpretări de aforisme. - Limbaj ȋn răspăr. - De asemenea, paradoxuri semantice: Totu-i infinit, chiar și finitul [de pildă, un segment de dreaptă este limitat ȋn ambele părți, ȋnsă conține o infinitate de puncte]. Nimic nu-i perfect, nici chiar perfectul! sau: Nimic nu-i absolut, nici chiar absolutul! - Calambururi bazate pe omonimii, dar și pe contrarieri ale clișeelor lingvistice… - Celebrele CULMI sau poante populare sunt ȋn esență paradoxiste… - Dar și paradoxismul ȋn imagini cotidiene preluate din folclorul Internetului, cu parabole și ironii politice, cu această modernizare… primitivă a țării! O lume reală care este… cu fundul ȋn sus! Iată cȃ...

Desigur, m-aștept acum la noi invective din partea clanului mafiot al său și al acoliților săi (călăii de serviciu). Cu cȃt ȋnjură mai tare, cu atȃt ȋi plȃtesc noii lor stăpȃni mai bine. Dar ȋmi va face o deosebită plăcere să le răspund! Provocȃndu-mă, ei ȋmi mențin verva creatoare. Doar că aceste publicații sunt plătite din bugetul poporului pentru acești șarlatani. Romȃnii ar trebui să se revolte ȋn toată țara contra acestei umilințe naționale la care sunt supuși. Of course, I now look at us invective of the mob clan and his acolytes (executioners service). With cȃt ȋnjură louder with their new stăpȃni pharma ȋi plȃtesc better. But ȋmi will be pleased to answer them! Provocȃndu me they ȋmi maintain creative verve. Only those publications that are paid from the budget of the people for these charlatans. Romȃnii should bet on around the country to rebel against this national humiliation they are subjected....

Florentin Smarandache records his account of his emigration from Romania to America in this journal.

Aşa cum m-aţi sfătuit, iată-mă la Istanbul. Am reuşit să fug. Acum cred că e mai simplu să mă ajutaţi să emigrez. Aţi putea contacta Consulatul American din Istanbul telefonic sau printr-o scrisoare? Scuzaţi-mă pentru acest deranj. Eu am completat deja nişte hirtii la acesta, în care am cerut AZIL POLITIC (motive: interzicere congrese, doctorate,. interzicere publicare). Soţia şi copilul sînt in România, niCi nu ştiu de fuga mea. (Chiar astăzi am sosit). Le voi face chemare cînd ajung in SUA. Deocamdată stau la OTEL ŞAN (un hotel), apoi voi fi cred, mutat intr-un campus pentru refugiaţi politici [Comisia Internaţională Catolică de Migraţie (ICMC), Kalipci Sokak 146/2. Tesvikiye, Istanbul, Turcia - adreşă la care m-aţi putea găsi in viitor]. Am mare nevoie de sprijinul cuiva din America. Poate vă interesaţi la vreun avocat. În orice caz, cu azil politic se poate uşor intra. Vă mulţumesc mult, mult de tot. Al d-voaStră, Florentin Smarandache. As you advised me, here I am in Istanbul. I managed to run away. Now I think it's easier to help me migrate. You may contact the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul by phone or by letter? I'm sorry for...
