"As long as the oppressive apparatus within Iran is still loyal and functioning the regime can just about keep power - but only through the absolute repression of its own people."
Dr Hans-Jakob Schindler, Senior Director, CEP talks about the Iranian regime to Newsmax.
According to Hans-Jakob Schindler, head of the Counter Extremism Project, she has become "a kind of grandmother heroine for the extreme left in Berlin".
Klette did not explicitly admit to being an RAF member during the trial, and Schindler told the BBC she would never face trial for terrorism allegations against her from that period because of the statute of limitations.
However, she could still face a further trial, as federal prosecutors allege she was complicit in three of the group's attacks.
CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler quoted extensively in cover story on Hamas networks in Germany: "Hamas wants to give itself a peaceful image through its propaganda - far from executions and rape..."
“... The people who have been in prison so far cannot therefore be described as prisoners or detainees. "They are hostages of the regime," says Schindler, who now heads the Counter Extremism Project, a think tank that focuses on terrorism. Ultimately, the Iranians are not interested in giving the German detainees a fair trial, but rather in convicting them on flimsy evidence in order to use them as political bargaining chips. This was also the case with Helmut Hofer. "The Iranians' idea was to exchange him for the terrorist Darabi and his accomplices," says Schindler. Kazem Darabi was the mastermind behind the Mykonos attack in Berlin, in which four Kurdish politicians in exile were killed. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. Germany did not allow itself to be blackmailed by Iran.”
CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "Shawcross has now disagreed publicly. The Home Office had, he said, ‘ignored’ key recommendations to beef up Prevent’s performance and the glass remained only ‘half full.’ I have some experience of bureaucratic sleight of hand at work when it comes to reviews and recommendations. When I was tasked by the Government to look into the Prison Service’s colossal and unforgivable failures in containing Islamist extremism a few years ago, I made 69 recommendations which were mysteriously repurposed into 11 without my consent; eight were finally accepted."
British "Active Clubs" have used the unrest to build shadow militia structures, warns Alexander Ritzmann of the European Counter Extremism Project (CEP). "Politicians are powerless when patriots organize in the streets," read a post on a British Active Club blog, expressing satisfaction. Around 1,000 men reportedly overpowered 1,300 police officers.
US military attacks on Iranian targets continue, while Iran speaks of "full-scale war." The escalation over the Strait of Hormuz and the nuclear program is intensifying. "The spiral of escalation simply continues," says Iran expert Hans-Jakob Schindler.
Iran and Middle East expert Dr Hans-Jakob Schindler strongly contradicts Tehran's account: The Strait of Hormuz was never truly open. In an interview, he explains why the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is sabotaging promises and why the risk of further attacks is growing.
German authorities have arrested two suspected members of the far-right terrorist organization "Last Wave of Defense." Security expert Hans-Jakob Schindler explains the group and examines the phenomenon of increasingly younger perpetrators.
CEP's Senior Director, Dr Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed on NTV.
All the shifts were emblematic of replacing a rigid, capital-centric approach with a fluid model focused on sub-regional frontiers, porous borders, and multi-alignment; his work provided global strategists with a more accurate, ground-level lens for analysing the Indo-Pacific. These paradigmatic shifts have decisively paved an undisputed place for Jaideep Saikia not only as one of the top five strategic thinkers in the world but also as a grand strategist in his own right in the global strategic arena - Dr Hans Jakob-Schindler, the Senior Director of the Counter Extremism Project in New York
