Again, this has not been proven. FBI literally did NOTHING to rule it out. Didn't investigate the Russians who stole a Hunter device. Didn't investigate the Slavic sex workers who had access to his Cloud and laptops. Didn't investigate Parnas' allegations. Didn't validate the laptop.

Volker Ketzer wrote that Schleswig-Holstein distributed nearly 35,000 service laptops to teachers. 10,900 of them had not been turned on even once during the entire year of 2025; the purchase value was around 6.75 million euros. As part of the problem, he mentioned the centrally managed software, which restricts usage and leads to many teachers preferring to use their personal devices. Ketzer criticized the procurement and mockingly addressed Günther. #Bildung #SchleswigHolstein #Technologie (translated)

Weird Duk wrote that the low-intensity civil war discussed a few years earlier by Timon Dias and Arnold Karskens was, in his opinion, escalating. According to Duk, Karskens had been ridiculed for that. He urged people to trust commentators with experience on the ground instead of leftist analysts behind their laptops, who he claimed said that nothing was happening on the continent. #burgeroorlog #nieuws #politiek (translated)

Digitale Geräte, aber klug. Wenn wir jedem Kind die Flügel geben wollen, dann müssen wir unseren Zugang zu Laptops und Handys bei Kindern und Jugendlichen überdenken.

Die Hemmschwelle der Justiz zur Anordnung von Hausdurchsuchungen wird immer niedriger. Nun wurde bei sieben Jugendlichen die Unverletzbarkeit der Wohnung staatlich aufgehoben, Mobiltelefone und Laptops beschlagnahmt. Haben sie einen Terroranschlag geplant, einen Gewaltakt begangen? Nein, haben sie nicht. Es ging um das angebliche Zeigen eines Hitler-Grußes und "Beleidigungen gegen Ausländer", wohl auch um das Wort "Neger". Wie man den Tatbestand "Hitler-Gruß" durch eine Hausdurchsuchung beweisen will, erschließt sich mir nicht. https://t.co/gKDpqGlHwV #Justiz #Hausdurchsuchung #Freiheit
