“Berlin correspondence :” Germany’s Humboldt University in the service of militarism - World Socialist Web Site
▻http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2016/06/20/humb-j20.html
Intéressant de suivre ce débat, Humboldt a (ou avait ?) plutôt très bonne réputaion, je connais un peu pour y avoir donné deux conférences déjà (mais sans doute pas dans le même département ha ha :))
“Will the universities remain centres of scholarship and free criticism? Or will they once again become state-directed cadre-training centres for right-wing and militarist ideologies, as previously in German history?” asks the forward to the book, Scholarship or War Propaganda, which deals with the role of Berlin’s Humboldt University in the remilitarization of Germany.
The series of meetings, entitled “Berlin Correspondence,” currently taking place at Berlin’s Gorky Theatre, demonstrate the advanced stage of the transformation of Humboldt University into a think-tank of German imperialism.

War propaganda in the German Historical Museum - World Socialist Web Site
▻http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/10/09/baby-o09.html
The German Historical Museum (DHM) in Berlin is currently showing an exhibition dealing with the horrors and crimes of the First World War. In the very same building, a meeting took place last week which proclaimed the necessity of new wars and war crimes.
In his contribution to the meeting, Jörg Baberowski, Chair of East European History at Humboldt University in Berlin, made the following remarks referring to US-NATO wars conducted against forces such as the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria: “And if one is not willing to take hostages, burn villages, hang people and spread fear and terror, as the terrorists do, if one is not prepared to do such things, then one can never win such a conflict and it is better to keep out altogether.”

  Baberowski c’est l’anticommuniste de service notoire. Il a dû se plonger si profondément dans ses massacres bolchéviques qu’il ne voit plus que du feu et du sang où qu’il regarde. A lire à ce sujet le résumé des commentaire à propos de son livre Verbrannte Erde, Stalins Herrschaft der Gewalt

  D’après wsws.org Baberowski est carrément un révisionniste.

  A leaflet circulated by the IYSSE among students asked the question: “Why has Professor Baberowski invited Robert Service to Humboldt University?” This question can now be answered. Baberowski is utilizing his position at the university to advance the notorious right-wing conceptions of Ernst Nolte, who for three decades has been associated with writings that seek to relativize and diminish the significance of Nazi crimes.
  On February 10, the news magazine Der Spiegel published a lengthy article by Dirk Kurbjuwelt dealing with attempts to rewrite German history. Baberowski, an ardent defender of Nolte’s views, plays a prominent role in this campaign. He is quoted by Der Spiegel saying: “Hitler was no psychopath, and he wasn’t vicious. He didn’t want people to talk about the extermination of the Jews at his table.”
  In Der Spiegel, Baberowski explicitly defends Nolte. “Nolte was done an injustice,” he told the news magazine. “Historically speaking, he was right.”

« Et si la caméra intelligente détecte un comportement suspect, elle marque le sujet et le suit »
Naked Citizens... Londres et les caméras de surveillances
Un documentaire de 30 minutes tout à fait inouï. Must see.

“I woke up to pounding on my door”, says Andrej Holm, a sociologist from the Humboldt University. In what felt like a scene from a movie, he was taken from his Berlin home by armed men after a systematic monitoring of his academic research deemed him the probable leader of a militant group.

After 30 days in solitary confinement, he was released without charges. Across Western Europe and the USA, surveillance of civilians has become a major business. With one camera for every 14 people in London and drones being used by police to track individuals, the threat of living in a Big Brother state is becoming a reality. At an annual conference of hackers, keynote speaker Jacob Appelbaum asserts, “to be free of suspicion is the most important right to be truly free”. But with most people having a limited understanding of this world of cyber surveillance and how to protect ourselves, are our basic freedoms already being lost?
