Why is not the same arm arm
von Domingo Conte
(2. März 2011)
Einführung
Seit Jahren verkünden im Entwicklungsbereich tätige Institutionen wie die Weltbank oder die Vereinten Nationen, unter Berufung auf ihre eigenen Daten und Statistiken, einen „bemerkenswerten und beispiellosen“ Fortschritt in der Reduzierung der globalen Armut. Die von ihnen publizierten Daten über Armut und Entwicklung werden von einer Vielzahl von Organisationen, Governments, banks and academic institutions as the basis used for further research and based is on this data, for example, determines whether a nation is classified as a country with low, medium or high income, thus resulting in significant implications for the country, such as requirements the extent to which it is entitled to credit or to so-called concessional financial assistance (concessional lending) or to what extent a country's development is positive or negative. Even in developed countries, measurements and statistics on the national poverty are produced, which then also of great importance for individuals and his family, since it depends on this data, who receives financial assistance or other support and who is not. Since through all these numbers and statistics on poverty not only in the field of development cooperation, but also on political, economic and social level have taken an important place. The methods for compiling these data, however, are often highly questionable and based on this data statistics and forecasts accordingly often doubtful.
In the present paper, it should be primarily concerned, as a first step briefly the various currently prevailing methods for measuring poverty and the different definitions of the same to enter into, and then show that they all lead to more or less inferior results when it comes to producing possible more accurate picture of poverty in this world and that their underlying facts and data are sometimes completely random, which is also applicable also to the different definitions of poverty in poor and rich countries. For example, in the U.S. someone is considered poor if it less than a certain amount of money is available, which is calculated from its minimum food expenditure in the EU and someone falls into the category "Poor" if he or she earns less than sixty percent of average income, while people in poor countries, already no longer classified as poor if they have less than a dollar a day - what a highly questionable definition of poor is.
will then conclude with some examples are shown that the generally established definitions of poverty are not only unrealistic but also lead to the number of people living in poverty is drastically underestimated and that the essential problem with all of these poverty measurements is not only to ensure that both, the collection of erforderlichen Daten für eine Einschätzung der Armut in bestimmten Regionen meist als ein äußerst schwieriges Unterfangen erweist und die Methoden der Auswertungen dieser Daten dann oftmals sehr fraglich sind, sondern vor allem darin, dass die jeweiligen Institutionen und Organisationen, welche diese Daten publizieren, meist bestimmte ideologische Interessen damit verfolgen und die Qualität ihrer Daten daher sehr skeptisch betrachtet werden sollte.

The full responsibility
The defense minister resigns Guttenberg. Reason: The media has criticized him constantly and maliciously and good-natured rather than constantly praising his excellent work. This has totally annoyed at some point. Therefore the termination.

It's completely absurd to accuse a man like Guttenberg, he used dead soldiers to distraction purposes. It is true that the media are to blame. They ignore the dead soldiers in shameful manner to discredit a respectable politician. Irresponsible is that!
We should be ashamed, not only for our government.

Honorarberatung receives political support
After the notice now the proposals for the regulation of bank advice and the free market system is to know that the honorary consultant in Germany for special treatment experience. This suggests two possibilities: 1 The consulting fee is recognized as a separate "consulting class" and will have its own legal basis. 2. The consulting fee is classified as a consumer-oriented advice, as it moves free of commission interests and this is exactly contrary to the will of the Consumer Protection Minister Ilse Aigner.
repeatedly while consumer advocates complain that intermediaries - banks and consultants - in talks with potential to Customers not only have their welfare in mind, but also the amount of commission for the sale of financial products. Aigner therefore provides the consulting fees the interests of investors and savers, protected and sustained in the course of legislation intended to exclude the sales commission most promising products. What does this have now in effect for the market or for the advice, it is as yet difficult to grasp. Time and again, it also criticizes the consulting fee as a form of counseling in Germany so far is not even a market share of one percent, and that even large banks and other companies are hereby burnt fingers.
The consulting fee scheint ein Politikum zu bleiben. Aigner sieht hierin offensichtlich den Verbraucherschutz am besten gewährleistet. Ob dies in der Praxis auch so zutrifft, bleibt fraglich. Insbesondere im Massengeschäft von Investmentanlagen und Versicherungsprodukten scheint auf lange Sicht ihre Umsetzung fraglich. Und ob es dringend nötig ist, die sowieso schon durch spezialisierte Bankberater und Vermögensverwalter betreuten Kunden durch eine eigene, verbrauchernahere Gesetzgebung zu schützen, kann zumindest hinterfragt werden.

What Does It Mean When A Man Wears A Ring
project INSIGMA
Projekt INSIGMA
and other research projects as part of INDECT
In an official report published on the website INDECT it was learned a while ago from a project called INSIGMA, which appears to have been initiated, also related to project INDECT. But apart from his name and a few not very informative detail was not exactly the Project announced.
" INSIGMA is a project which is coordinated by members of the consortium INDECT, Department of Telecommunications of the AGH University of Science and Technology. " [1] it said in the message. And one of the main objectives of the project would be to develop methods to detect threats and dangerous situations, through the analysis of dynamic maps and the tracked objects. It was further explained: "Unlike the Research field of INDECT, deals INSIGMA with the recognition of different types of threats, such as traffic conditions, wearing hazardous materials in cities, traffic congestion, etc., were "
This is the whole, but rather vague information which were published on the website to INDECT. It was only mentioned that both INDECT INSIGMA including members of the MCSS Conference on 6 and 7 May 2010 had taken part, and that this INDECT International Conference on Multimedia Communications, Services & Security of Department of Telecommunications was organized. This was supposedly an academic forum on the research and development work on multimedia communications and Sicherheitss were presented ystems. See below for more.
Two INDECT Deliverables [2] is INSIGMA called by name even in a few places and in a Telepolis article [3] was mentioned that the project manager of INSIGMA Professor Andrzej Dziech would therefore be the same person who also directs INDECT. One, two employees of the project INDECT have also briefly mentioned publicly [4] , but otherwise silence prevailed at INSIGMA. Even comprehensive Internet search brought up recently, no other really specific info about this project to light.
is now the Polish Private University for Computer Engineering and Telecommunication (WSTKT) [5] some more details on INSIGMA published. An official project website [6] also exists already, but only in Polish. On the side WSTKT [7] two projects are mentioned in which the University is currently involved, and there you will find a few more details to INSIGMA. Here is now clear, for what is actually the acronym INSIGMA " Intelligent informa on Global System for Monitoring, Detec tion and Identification of Risks. (Intelligent Informationssystem zur Globalen Überwachung, Erkennung und Identifikation von Risiken). Offensichtlich wollte man damit, jedenfalls der Namensgebung nach, dem Total Information Awareness Programm der USA Konkurrenz machen.
Aber einmal ernsthaft: Wer überlegt sich für ein aus öffentlicher Hand finanziertes Projekt denn einen solchen Namen? Da ist es nicht weiter verwunderlich, dass das Projekt bis vor kurzem völlig abseits der Öffentlichkeit im geheimen lief. Welcher Steuerzahler würde schon freiwillig ein Projekt der EU mitfinanzieren das solch einen Namen trägt – noch dazu, wenn man weiß, dass die Hauptbeteiligen daran military institutions? But almost no one knows, of course, because even now, after some information on INSIGMA were made public, some is necessary to inquire, to get to all this information.
on the side of the private University of Computer Engineering and Telecommunication goes on to say, INSIGMA would be a great research and development project of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education , in cooperation with the AGH University of Science and Technology, the Military Communication Institute in Zegrze and Military University of Technology in Warsaw. The project started in 2010-2015, has a budget of € 4.4 million and, as INDECT located at the Krakow University. You discover there are also the main objectives of the project:
- the development of automated methods of monitoring and registration of parameters of moving objects, methods of transmission and archiving of recorded data and techniques for the identification of persons Persecuted in objects.
- identification of risks and analysis of various traffic parameters on the background dynamic maps.
- identifying people and detection of risks by using mobile devices through intelligent surveillance and search of people.
on the website of Intelligent Information Systems Group (IISH) [8] , which is part of AGH's Department of Computer Science is confirmed that Andrzej Dziech INSIGMA directs the project. The objectives of the project is explained there: " aim of the project is the creation and use complex information systems for the detection, threat identification and monitoring of moving objects. "Even someone who financed the project can be read here: the European Union, the Innovative Economy Programme and the European Fund for Regional Development.
And on the official Polish website INSIGMA [9] which, as already mentioned, is only in Polish (which the research is not particularly easy), find more details about the project. Steps should urban environments of cameras by Analysis of various factors that indicate a greater danger to public safety, are monitored. The system is to identify potential hazards and threats and provide a real-time visualization of the monitored environment. The data analysis is performed by a sensor network that is able to detect changes in the position of objects as well as sudden changes of temperature, pressure and concentration of hazardous substances.
Furthermore, it says on the page: " order to ensure a high level of security is the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Technologie angewendet um aus der Entfernung Objekte zu identifizieren. “ Informationen zur Lokalisierung werden mittels GSM, UMTS und GPS übertragen. Die durch ein Netzwerk von Kameras und Sensoren erhaltenen Daten werden automatisch kontextbezogen analysiert und etwa nach spezifischen Gesichtern, menschlichen Profilen, Formen von Fahrzeugen und anderen Objekten und deren Bewegungsmustern durchsucht. Dadurch soll das INSIGMA System dazu fähig sein, frühzeitig Risiken und Gefahren erkennen und auch vorhersagen zu können. Aus einem Papier zum Thema Transmission von Video Überwachung [10] geht hervor, dass man im Rahmen von INSIGMA auch daran arbeitet, stream video in HD quality on HSDPA wireless Internet connections in real time to.
The word "road" appears quite frequently in the published information to INSIGMA, suggesting that the project seems to be focused on it. But it is also clear that can be tracked and identified with the system and humans. Whether the early detection of dangers and threats now limited only to the road, not on the published information you can. On the INSIGMA website says that the finished system to improve safety could be used in large urban areas and for individual objects and that would serve INSIGMA to protect citizens and their welfare. If this is true, one might speculate in any case, why then the military is involved in the project and not police and other security services which are actually responsible for the protection of citizens and the public interest.
found, according to the website in early May 2010 the first international conference organized by project INSIGMA [11] - with 80 participants - rather than which of company representatives, the press and academics from various universities and military facilities have been visited. It has been involved is the same mentioned already presented initially MCSS Conference at which the previous results in the areas of multimedia systems, services, communications and security systems. On the side it says, however, that the goal of the event was to introduce potential prospects and INSIGMA of an "academic board, as shown in the message on the website INDECT, is nowhere mentioned. It is even mentioned that the conference is a opportunity had been, to address ethical issues concerning the privacy of citizens in relation to security-related research to what extent this "opportunity" has been perceived by the participants, however, remains open, however. The aforementioned press, which was said to be also present at the Conference, at least apparently never to be published. One can assume that it is this "academic forum" really has been a marketing event, as even specific industries will be called, that one could imagine a collaboration. Companies and institutions in the country such as transportation, or activities in film or wireless communication transmission.
In a book [12] the 2010 inter alia, Andrzej Czyzewski of the Gdańsk University of Technology , one of the managers of project INDECT, edited was INSIGMA is also mentioned in connection with a project on "Recognition of dangerous sounds. There is research on audio surveillance technologies with which one wants to recognize dangerous situations, such as gunshots, explosions and breaking glass on the basis of their acoustic representation. For this project states that " [The] research is within the project POIG.01.01.02-00-062/09 INSIGMA (Intelligent Information System for Detection and Recognition of Audio ...) funded. " [13] If that is true, this raises only the question of why the project staff and the authors are not in a position to correct name for INSIGMA to publish her book. In any case, there is the read name of INSIGMA dramatically less than the correct version: "Intelligent informa on Global System for Monitoring, Detec tion and Identification of Risks. "
In the book you also learn the Andrzej Czyzewski yet another project called" is Super Resolution Algorithm to Video Surveillance System "involved, which is also to be quite interesting seems, especially in relation to projects such as INDECT or INSIGMA. The basic idea of \u200b\u200bthe system is in a super resolution algorithm [14] which serves to improve the resolution and quality of low-resolution images. Super resolution was originally developed for spy satellites, military and develops intelligence and is now used among others in the medical diagnostics and in the video industry. This project will research on a super resolution algorithm, which lets you can generate from many image frames (eg from surveillance cameras) with low resolution, a single high-resolution image. So then should such as faces or license plates of surveillance camera images with low image resolution can be made identifiable despite their poor image quality.
Another project on which also the AGH University of Science and Technology and the University of Computer Engineering and Telecommunication involved with the name INTOM [15] - " Integrated, intelligent monitoring system for detection and identification of movable objects for security purposes (Integrated Intelligent Monitoring System for detection and identification moving objects for security purposes). The basic concept of INTOM system is based on the published information, according to a multi-layer structure: The first layer consists of mobile equipment and fixed video and audio surveillance systems, and the second from server layer to be able to locate objects and their speed of travel or stay in one place to identify and analyze automatically. The system is via the Internet or other networks remotely and local servers to be used together in a large frame so as to enable data exchange between different countries. So much for the technical details of the project to financial details can be found once again, no information. Not on whether it is an autonomous project ITOM, or whether it, like INSIGMA been started under INDECT is.
On the website of the European Commission on its date under the 7th Framework Programme current Projekte sind jedenfalls weder zu INTOM noch zu INSIGMA irgendwelche Informationen zu finden. Über Projekt INSIGMA existieren mittlerweile zumindest öffentlich zugängliche Informationen über das Budget und zur Finanzierung: €4.4 Millionen, von der EU, dem Innovative Economy Programme und dem European Regional Development Fund finanziert. Beides sind Programme der EU zur Stimulierung der Wirtschaft.
Das Innovative Economy Programme etwa wird zwischen 2007 und 2013 mit €8.25 Milliarden von der Europäischen Union finanziert [16] was initiated and explicitly to improve the Polish economy and to promote innovative Polish companies. The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) [17] serves the purpose of promoting economic and social cohesion in the EU through the correction of regional imbalances promote. INSIGMA is thus apparently paid exclusively by the EU or of taxpayers' money, despite the fact that the military is the largest prospect in this project with the telling name Intelligent Information System for the global surveillance, detection and identification of risks "Appears to be. In light of the funding raised INSIGMA but also felt it would have been called mainly to boost the economy to life.
With much support from the EU, at least in various institutions such as the AGH University of Science and Technology, worked obviously very hard to research on monitoring technology. What is it all tax-financing of the EU is currently not clear, and a final overall goal of all this research is not just

project INDECT - Discovering the European Security Research Programme 
NOTE:
Aufgrund des großen Interesses an meinem Research Paper zu Projekt INDECT habe ich nun folgende kurze Einführung zu diesem Thema verfasst. Das vollständige Research Paper findet man weiterhin hier:
Überwachungsstaat 2.0
Eine kurze Einführung zu Projekt INDECT
und der Sicherheitsindustrie im allgemeinen
von Domingo Conte
Das Geschäft mit Überwachungstechnologien und Data-mining ist in den letzten 10 Jahren rasant angewachsen und wächst immer noch konstant weiter. Nicht nur in den USA sondern auch in der EU wird intensiv an neuen Technologien und Methoden zur effektiveren Überwachung der Bürger geforscht. But the already existing data from the flood which is over 4 million surveillance cameras in London has long since become unmanageable, but the data collection and monitoring of governments not to be delusional. This feature is especially logistical problems, because all possible data about all sorts of people have one thing that all of this data analysis is quite different. But even with these problems are being researched intensively.
so financed by the European Union as part of their safety research program since 2009 a research project, which deals specifically so that this continuous growing flood of data under control. The project is called INDECT, which stands for "Intelligent information system to support surveillance, search and discovery for the safety of citizens in urban environments . This research project will run for a period of 5 years and is to be completed by the end of 2013. Participants include several companies from the security and multimedia industry, police and various European universities . First test runs of the project are planned for 2012 European Football Championship 2012 in Poland.
goal of the project is eine Sicherheitsarchitektur zu entwerfen, die sämtliche bestehenden Überwachungs-technologien logisch miteinander verknüpft, in Echtzeit auswertet und verwaltet - und das alles soll vollautomatisch durch intelligente Computersysteme erfolgen. Die dazu verwendeten Datenquellen sind u.a. Videoüberwachung, Vorratsdatenspeicherung, Telekommunikation, Gesichtserkennung, Websites, Diskussionsforen, Usenet-Gruppen, Datenserver, P2P-Netzwerke sowie individuelle Computersysteme und alle vorhandenen Datenbanken wie Namen, Adressen, biometrische Daten, Interneteinträge, polizeiliche, geheimdienstliche, militärische, forensische und zivile Datenbanken, Daten von luft- und seegestützte Plattformen und Satelliten usw. Und als wären that's not enough sources for monitoring is in addition also researched in dozens of other projects in various new surveillance technologies: Beginning of autonomous, with video and audio systems equipped drones, to technologies for the early identification of illegal substances such as explosives or drugs. Finally, all available databases to be only INDECT linked intelligently to be able to then search automatically in real time for dangerous situations or security risks and evaluate. This will start with situations such as: Man steals woman's purse on the street and being filmed by surveillance cameras - INDECT the system detects it and reports it and the local police department. But that's not enough. With INDECT you want to go much further:
is another goal of INDECT about it to recognize abnormalities or abnormal behavior automatically, at an early stage with the eventual aim of dangerous situations and criminal activity - that before anything happened - identify and report where appropriate to the responsible security officer. That we want to be, for example, a person's identity, which becomes suspicious about by extremist posts in a forum, with the help of call data can be determined. If the suspect is identified, it could then be observed by surveillance cameras and drones on. And all that basically automatically, without human intervention. But this is just another of many possible scenarios, such INDECT could be used.
The operator of the project, especially the "Polish Platform for Homeland Security" stress, INDECT is a purely scientific project and target is nothing more than the production of functional prototypes. This may be true also for the present research project. However, the evidence is increasing that man sich bereits jetzt auch damit beschäftigt, wie man die Endresultate schlussendlich kommerzialisieren kann. Dies verwundert nicht sehr, in Anbetracht der hohen Kosten für Projekt INDECT: Offiziell beläuft sich das Budget für INDECT auf knapp €15 Millionen. 10 Millionen davon werden von der EU, also aus Steuergeldern, finanziert, der Rest von den verschiedenen Unternehmen und Organisation die in das Projekt involviert sind.
Manche mögen einwenden, dass das Budget des Projektes doch gar nicht so hoch wäre, doch darf man dabei einerseits nicht außer acht lassen, dass INDECT nur eines von vielen Projekten im europäischen Sicherheitsforschungsprogramm , and many of the needed for INDECT or there deployable technologies developed within these other projects. (Only in the areas of risk analysis and risk estimate "," Biometrics and Identification "and" detection and monitoring "the EU projects funded with over € 200 million.) On the other hand, we should not forget that it is only available from INDECT itself is the development of a purely software-based technology for networking of all control, monitoring and information systems. Other technologies required for the project are already available now: So you INDECT for example, appears in working with the operators of a the largest supercomputers in the EU's interest - the GALERA system at the Technical University of Gdansk in Poland. [1]
Furthermore, the real level of funding of INDECT is not all that perfectly clear. It was recently announced as being operated as part of project INDECT at least yet another, separate project called INSIGMA, but where are the funds for it, has not been clarified, as apart from the fact that this project of several INDECT parties were publicly mentioned and also on the website a quick note INDECT [2] has been published to, otherwise only very little information available to INSIGMA. However, it seems this project is also to go to the development of audio and video surveillance. And probably will still tweaking on other projects.
UPDATE: Meanwhile, further details of project INSIGMA been published, see:

This has to be involved in the project can be certain: they seem really hard to work on their research and to strive for results to be. With the possible consequences of their research they deal appears to be but little. At the 27th " Chaos Communication Congress " such as steel, an employee of INDECT from Poland [3] - as he said himself - a young lady who was giving a lecture on INDECT the show. Why he came up with this idea, I'm not quite clear, for he is cryptographer in INDECT and was in no way capable of relating to ethical, social or political issues enter into the project, although in this paper was indeed all about, not about technical details. He only commented, should policy discussions with the EU Commission and not done with him. This proposal is understandable in itself, certainly, the problem is just that so far seem not even members of parliament and other politicians serious information from the EU Commission regarding INDECT get, let alone journalists or "simple" citizens.
This INDECT employees increased in any case patiently for about half an hour, taking questions from the audience (or those to avoid), all in all hat der gute Mann allerdings gar nicht sonderlich viel gesagt, auch wenn er viel geredet hat. Was nach dieser halben Stunde aber recht klar war, war seine Einstellung bezüglich seiner eigenen Verantwortung als Wissenschaftler: Ihm schien die Idee, selbst Verantwortung für mögliche negative Konsequenzen seiner Forschungsarbeiten zu übernehmen recht fremd zu sein. Er ist ja nur Wissenschaftler - der forscht und sich nicht darum kümmert, was mit seinen Forschungsresultaten irgendwann geschehen könnte... Der mehrfach gestellten Frage, was die Endziele dies Projektes wären, wich er dann auch immer wieder mehr oder weniger geschickt aus. Er erwähnte, dass die irische Polizei besonders scharf auf Drohnen sei und dass man INDECT auch im Kampf gegen Kinderpornografie gut einsetzen könne. Über kommerzielle Ziele des Projektes weiß er nichts.
Sein Kollege Mikołaj Leszczuk , der ebenfalls in Polen an INDECT forscht, war in einem Radiointerview [4] diesbezüglich nicht so zurückhaltend. Er meinte ganz klar, dass man ihre Forschungsarbeiten an INDECT, sobald diese funktionstüchtig sind, auch kommerzialisieren würde und dass sie mit möglichen Interessenten auf jeden Fall kooperieren würden. Auf mögliche Gefahren von Missbrauch dieser Technologien angesprochen meinte it just that you can indeed Pixelize the faces on video and so then no one can follow his own wife abuse with INDECT.
's what most of the technical scientists of INDECT only a harmless project is research, but could eventually become a very dangerous weapon. Of course they do not tinker with conventional weapons such as bombs or guns - they are from the Western states in general so used primarily to defend the external security. Technologies such as INDECT but, if they are operational again, especially in defense of the homeland security use . See These technologies are implemented only once, completely new possibilities for the comprehensive monitoring. Movies like " The No.1 " or " Minority Report " or Orwell's book 1984 then perhaps lose some of their flavor of science fiction and nice words such as "presumption of innocence" could be very soon from our Vocabulary disappear and be replaced by words such as "general suspicion" or "Pre crime prevention".
If these technologies, the from projects such as INDECT result, once ready, it's only a matter of time before we begin, this will be also implemented in all sorts of places. First in public urban areas such as subways, train stations, airports, etc., and if they prove to be effective there, the implementation in an urban environment will be extended further and further. The process will be the same as in the CCTV surveillance cameras, which have spread in recent years more and more in the cities of the EU, so they now have in the city, a modern city are.
Since the present Time is still unclear who will ultimately be the end customer for technologies such as INDECT, there are a number of potential risks that lie behind such technologies. Especially since the whole project has purely conceptual look at the European and German data protection law and constitutional law in contradiction. Even if INDECT and similar technologies only by police and military are used, the risk of abuse is probably much higher than the supposed benefit in terms of improved security for the citizens. But the probability is high that these technologies are eventually sold to various other places - From the secret services of private security to paramilitary organizations. The potential risks would still be far higher. Certainly, only that the taxpayer funded research on technology for its own supervision and at some point companies will make any profit so much. And we will be then monitored over the country. Whether the population will benefit from these security measures as much benefit as the security industry is another question.
about the value and usefulness of such security research programs can be discussed much. There is etwa ethische Bedenken: Will wirklich jeder ständig und überall überwacht werden, nur um dadurch vielleicht, vielleicht auch nicht, etwas sicherer zu sein? Es gibt soziale Bedenken: Wie wird sich das gesellschaftliche Leben verändern, wenn wir alle wissen, das wir ständig von intelligenten Computersystemen überwacht werden, welche uns permanent nach abnormem oder auffälligem Verhalten abscannen. Oder auch politische Bedenken: Was wird aus mehr oder weniger demokratischen Ländern, wenn das Volk von einigen Wenigen permanent überwacht werden kann und keiner diese Überwacher überwacht.
Aber auch die USA arbeiten an ganz ähnlichen Projekten wie INDECT. Allein die Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) hat mehrere Forschungsprogramme auf diesem Gebiet. CTS oder Combat Zones That See [5] beispielsweise ist ein Projekt mit dem Ziel, in bestimmten abgegrenzten Gebieten wie Frontlinien oder auch in Städten, nach eigenen Angaben, „alles was sich bewegt zu verfolgen.“ Dies wollen sie mit Hilfe eines massiven Überwachungskamera-Netzwerkes erreichen welches mit einem Computer-system mit künstlicher Intelligenz verbunden ist und jede Bewegung identifizieren und verfolgen kann. Auch das Video Image Retrieval and Analysis Tool (Virat) Program [6] that the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO ) of the DARPA funded with $ 20 million, aims to similar technologies such as those of INDECT. The aim of the program to develop a database containing large amounts of video stores and one can quickly search by using intelligent software agents on the desired video content. Mind's Eye [7] ist noch ein weiteres Projekt der DARPA zur intelligenten Video-Analyse mittels künstlicher Intelligenz.
Sicherheit und Sicherheitsforschung ist also nicht nur in der EU ein großes Thema, sondern auch in den USA beispielsweise. Und das nicht erst seit 9/11. Doch seit 2001 ist ein regelrechter Sicherheitswahn in der westlichen Welt ausgebrochen. Nachdem der Kalte Krieg vorbei war und der kommunistische bzw. sozialistische Feind verschwand – der, wie uns gesagt wurde, unser aller Leben bedrohte – haben wir nun eine new threat, a new enemy: the Islamic international terrorism. And we are told that we were in great danger of being blown up all at any time by a suicide bomber or a dirty bomb in the air. Each neighbor, even the blonde, blue-eyed who likes people to listen to music could be a sleeper to be trained at any Al-Qaida -terror camp in Pakistan to terrorists, and now sits in his basement and is working on a much larger massacre as 9 / 11 . We are all blown up in acute danger of mistaken fanatics unworkable in the air. That is why we need more security and all these security programs, and therefore must still tighter security measures ago.
Only because of the few people in our society, completely out of hand - as murderers, rapists or child molesters - it is difficult to explain to the population that each individual's permanent and all his Security must be managed, and that this technology such as INDECT must be developed. In Germany there are, for example, about 1,000 murders a year, and that's why 80 million people are always and everywhere be monitored? This is not particularly convincing.
Man braucht also einen besseren, einen eindrucksvolleren Grund, um die Bevölkerung davon zu überzeugen, dass sie – zu ihrer eigenen Sicherheit – immer besser überwacht werden muss. Und was für ein Grund wäre da geeigneter als internationaler islamistischer Terrorismus mit Schläfern in jeder Ecke die nur darauf warten, unschuldige Zivilisten wegzusprengen. Damit macht man Sicherheitsprogramme für die Bevölkerung schmackhaft. Mit zum Teil völlig bizarren Horrorgeschichten bringt der Staat die Menschen dazu, aus Angst ganz von selbst nach mehr und mehr Überwachung zu rufen.
Nun einmal angenommen, all diese doch recht dubious Islamist terrorist organizations really exist. Then perhaps you should first explore why these terrorists is so attached to wage war against the Western world and here blow up buildings and people in the air. Is this simply because, as George W. Bush said so beautiful that they are evil and hate our freedoms? More likely than us - you and me - hate is that they hate our governments of the EU and the USA. And for that, have identified some of them very good reasons. To do this, you just take a look at Afghanistan. This country, our respective Governments and their military and private security agencies such as Blackwater or Xe Services in the last decade as much freedom and peace that brought the U.S. - and EU troops should be there constantly reinforced. For in fact there there for ten years of war and the country has disintegrated into chaos and anomie. And by the way contaminated the entire areas in USA for decades with its uranium ammunition with which they infect humans, soil, water and air.
But perhaps hate the Islamic terror groups, our governments, because these people frequently have seen our governments, governments in Islamic and other countries immer gleich zu Sturz brachten, sobald diese es wagten, irgendetwas gegen die US- oder EU-Interessen zu tun. Wie etwa 1953 im Iran der demokratisch gewählte Premierminister Mohammad Mossadegh von CIA und MI6 zu Fall gebracht wurde weil er es sich erlaubte, die iranische Ölindustrie zu verstaatlichen. Damit waren die westlichen Regierungen nicht sonderlich glücklich und installierten dafür nach ihrem Coup d'etat eine Diktatur unter Mohammad-Rezā Shāh Pahlavi welche über 25 Jahre andauerte. Oder vielleicht mögen sie unsere Regierungen nicht, weil diese in ihren Wahnvorstellungen, Weltpolizei spielen zu müssen, sich andauernd in Angelegenheiten anderer Länder einmischen und die Welt als ihre Spielwiese ansehen. So wie beispielsweise die deutsche Regierung davon überzeugt ist, dass ihre Sicherheit mit Truppen am Hindukusch verteidigt werden müsse.
Denkt man kurz etwas ernsthaft über die Frage nach, weshalb Muslime auf die Idee kommen sollten, Terrororganisationen zu gründen und Anschläge in der westlichen Welt zu verüben, so kommt man auch noch auf einige andere Ursachen und Gründe. Die aller meisten dieser Gründe beziehen sich allerdings More on the reluctance of humans to various Western governments and their "commitment" in Muslim countries, and not so much the fact that these terrorists simply hate the people in the western world and their freedom. Our governments would never publicly admit this, but. Because it would create based on the discussions on our security a small dilemma: namely, the state would then develop monitoring projects such as INDECT for our own safety, only to be able to protect ourselves from the threats, which he produced himself (and provoked). In this case, it might make more sense that all the money in safety projects wie INDECT investiert wird, stattdessen für Forschungsprojekte auszugeben welche dabei helfen könnten, das alle Menschen und Nationen dieser Welt etwas friedlicher und sicherer miteinander leben können.
All das setzt natürlich voraus, dass die ganze Geschichte mit der Bedrohung durch internationale islamistische Terrororganisationen überhaupt der Realität entspricht. Es existieren genügend Indizien die berechtigte Zweifel diesbezüglich aufkommen lassen könnten. Jedenfalls gibt es mittlerweile genügend gut fundierte Forschungsarbeiten über alle möglichen Fälle aus unserer nähren Vergangenheit, aus denen deutlich hervorgeht, dass nicht nur die bösen Schurkenstaaten und ihre Diktatoren, sondern auch unsere eigenen europäischen Staaten, und auch die NATO mit ihren Stay-Behind Organisationen [8] mehr als nur gelegentlich in terroristische Aktivitäten verwickelt waren und dies wohl auch immer noch sind. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es z.B. auch recht aufschlussreich, einmal die US-Army Definition von „ Low Intensity Warefare “, einer Taktik welche die USA ja ganz offiziell verfolgen, mit ihrer Definition von „Terrorismus“ im US-Code zu vergleichen. Dabei wird man feststellen, dass fast kein Unterschied zwischen beiden existiert. However, this was noted only in passing. In view of these facts would have to be still very different questions about the usefulness and benefits of security and provide surveillance programs, which are beyond the scope of this article, however.

APPENDIX:
My research project to INDECT originally started from a purely personal interest. Over a period of more than a year, I collected all meticulously only to-find information together and studied them. Towards the end of 2010, I came up with the idea of \u200b\u200bwriting a small article on this subject and I thought: maybe this is it somehow and then released again.
The first rough draft of this article, consisting of 3.4 pages but grew quite fast and was becoming more and more detail. When he was finally close to 20 pages long, then I came first doubts. because the paper is now far too long and too technical, it was to publish in newspapers, etc., can, and I was wondering how much it actually makes sense to invest so much time and effort in this paper if, in the end but no one reads or if I would reach only a few people with it.
I was in my work but so late, I decided to make a first, rough draft suitable for publication online. This was on 1/14/2010. And the timing was well chosen any better. to my knowledge - - Already on the following Monday was the first, albeit brief report on INDECT on German television. By this time, a link appeared on my blog on the INDECT article in the German Wikipedia. And on the very day I had my first 600 visitors on this blog, on the fifth day there were already about 1000 - all on my part without any kind of advertising or promotion. All I had done until then was the link to pass on to my blog to a few friends and it to 2.3 other blogs, which had also published short reports on INDECT to post in the comments to it.
any rate, the interest on INDECT to be much larger than I had imagined it would actually meant - what I very pleased. Since many people have so far not ever heard of INDECT, I now decided to write this brief introduction to project INDECT to those who deal only recently with the theme to allow a little insight - given the fact that my research paper on project INDECT quite extensive and sometimes quite technical.
