The movement is called anti-aging, not anti-injury. How do people who believe they have a real shot at immortality interact with the phenomena of safetyism?
Fünf Schüsse in Arme, Beine und Kopf. Dann stoßen die Mörder den Diplomaten Andreas von Mirbach kopfüber eine Steintreppe hinunter. Hanns Martin Schleyer wird nach mehr als 40 Tagen Geiselhaft ermordet – weil der Staat der Erpressung durch die RAF nicht nachgibt. Es sind Verbrechen, die rund 50 Jahre her sind. Die Täter der RAF sind bis heute in den Medien präsent. Aber welche Folgen haben die Morde bis heute für die Angehörigen? Darüber diskutieren Holger Schmidt und der ehemalige Bundesrichter Thomas Fischer in einer Sonderfolge von „Sprechen wir über Mord?!“ mit den Söhnen Hanns-Eberhard Schleyer und Clais von Mirbach sowie mit Generalbundesanwalt Jens Rommel und SWR-Autor Thomas Schneider. Diese Sonderfolge ergänzt die ARD-Dokumentation „Im Schatten der Mörder“ von Holger Schmidt und Thomas Schneider und erscheint gemeinsam mit dem Dokudrama „Stammheim – Zeit des Terrors“ von Niki Stein und Stefan Aust im Rahmen eines ARD Programmschwerpunkts zum 50. Jahrestag des Beginns der Stammheimer Prozesse.

Vor 50 Jahren begann der Porzess gegen die RAF Terroristen Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, Ulrike Meinhof und Jan Carl Raspe. Um sie freizupressen kam es während ihrer Gefangenschaft zu weiteren terroristischen Anschlägen. Am Ende begingen die Gefangenen unter mysteriösen Umständen kollektiven Selbstmord. Niki Steins konzentriertes Dokudrama unterscheidet sich von den bisherigen Verfilmungen durch seinen kammerspielartigen Charakter und die starke Besetzung mit Lilith Stangenberg als Gudrun Ensslin.

In der JVA Stammheim wurde in den 1970er-Jahren mehreren Mitgliedern der Terrorgruppe RAF der Prozess gemacht. Zeitweise lebten bis zu neun von ihnen im Hochsicherheitstrakt der Anstalt. Das neue ARD-Doku-Drama „Stammheim – Zeit des Terrors“ wirft einen neuen Blick auf die Ereignisse von damals.
#spotify #horror #indonesianhorror #trendingIn order to attend the theater performance Alisa (Irish Bella) goes to the house of his brother Anton (Fadika Royandi) and his wife Santi (Nafa Urbach). In the house Alisa meets Tania (Richelle Georgette Skonicki), the adopted daughter of Anton and Siska. Alisa immediately realized the weirdness of Tania's mysterious attitude. Alisa sees Tania eating magnolia flowers in her room. Terrors begin to strike Alisa, until the appearance of a mysterious man Toro (Dorman Borisman) who reminds him not to approach Tania. Encouraged by her curiosity, Alisa begins to find out the origin of Tania. She is accompanied by Aldy (Kevin Kambey), Alisa's in the theater, to an orphanage. There they meet Novi (Sarwendah) the owner of the orphanage. Novi reveals to the dark past of Tania. Alisa moves to carry out dangerous missions.
Wir haben KZ-Gedenkstätten und Stolpersteine, die an das Nazi-Regime erinnern. Aber es gibt auch viele Orte des Terrors, die nach 1945 vergessen wurden - also „Gras über die Geschichte" wuchs. Das trifft auf viele der über 100 so genannten „Arbeitserziehungslager“ zu, in die Ausländer wie Deutsche willkürlich eingesperrt wurden, wenn die Geheime Staatspolizei oder die SS es so wollten. In Niederbühl, einem Stadtteil von Rastatt in Mittelbaden, versuchen Einheimische jetzt, eine lokale Initiative anzustoßen, damit ein Gedenkort für ein solches Lager errichtet wird, von dem es nur wenige Zeugnisse und praktisch keine Überreste gibt.
Also einmal weißen Rauch hatten wir diese Woche schon mit der Wahl des neuen Bundeskanzlers. Nun warten wir auf die nächste Entscheidung, auf die Wahl des neuen Papstes. Und heute, dieser 8. Mai hat für uns noch eine ganz andere Bedeutung: Vor 80 Jahren hat das tödlichste Regime kapituliert, dass je existiert hat und viele Millionen Menschen das Leben, die Heimat, die Existenz gekostet hat. Heute vor 80 Jahren endete der Zweite Weltkrieg. Am 8. Mai 1945 schwiegen endlich die Waffen und eine sechsjährige Epoche des Terrors und der Gewalt fand ihr Ende. Ganz entfernt wurde die Hoffnung auf etwas Neues sichtbar. Wir gedenken des Kriegsendes und sind uns schmerzlich bewusst, dass auch heute in vielen Teilen der Welt Krieg herrscht mit all seinen Schrecken.Beten wir jetzt zusammen um Frieden und immer neuem Versuch zur Versöhnung:Gott des Friedens und des Lebens, am heutigen Tag gedenken wir des Endes eines Krieges, der Millionen das Leben nahm und unermessliches Leid brachte.Vor 80 Jahren verstummten die Waffen in Europa – und die Hoffnung auf Frieden keimte neu.Wir danken dir für die Gnade des Neubeginns, für Versöhnung zwischen Völkern, für Freiheit, Demokratie und Menschenwürde.Segne die Erinnernden, dass sie mit dem Herzen sehen und wachsam bleiben.Segne die Überlebenden, dass ihre Stimmen weiter gehört und geachtet werden.Segne die Jungen, dass sie nicht vergessen und Verantwortung tragen für morgen.Schenke uns den Mut, Unrecht zu benennen, den Willen zum Dialogund die Kraft, Frieden zu stiften – in kleinen und großen Schritten.

The ocean has always captured mankind's imagination. But where some saw endless potential for travel, trade, and exploration, others could only imagine what untold terrors might be lurking in its depths. Ask any sailor, modern or ancient, and they'll tell you that the sea is not only a natural force but a supernatural one. As more people begin to confront the thousands of firsthand accounts of mysterious terror of the deep, it becomes clear that there are things above and below the waves that may never be explained.

Think you've heard all the creepiest legends? Think again! From vengeful spirits to terrifying creatures, these eerie and often overlooked tales might just make you question going anywhere after dark.IN THIS EPISODE: Spine-tingling ghost stories and eerie myths... come to life! Are any of them actually true? We'll explore the more obscure side of folklore with ghosts and legends that don't get the same amount of attention others do – but are certainly not to be ignored! (Myths And Ghosts You May Never Have Heard Of) *** In the quiet town of Essex, Maryland, the disappearance of nine-year-old Alva Jean Parris shattered the peace of summer 1960. Walking just three blocks to her aunt's house, she vanished without a trace, only for her body to be found days later, hidden beneath a makeshift grave. Decades have passed, but the mystery of who took Alva Jean and why remains unsolved. (Who Killed Alva Jean?) *** He's a little-known serial killer. Ronald J.

Even in death, some of history's most infamous killers refuse to rest, their vengeful spirits still haunting the prisons, execution chambers, and crime scenes where their reigns of terror ended—but perhaps not for good.IN THIS EPISODE: The most evil of lawbreakers in our society – the murderers and rapists – are usually confined to life in prison. The most evil of the evil are sometimes sentenced to death. But is it possible that by cutting short the lives of the horrific individuals on Death Row, we are unknowingly creating new malevolent entities that continue to torment us from the grave? (The Ghosts of Death Row) *** From beatings to murders to a handful of escape attempts made by Alcatraz's prisoners, the terrifying history of Alcatraz prison contains plenty of ghosts.

Long before ‘The Conjuring' franchise twisted Valak into a terrifying nun, this ancient demon haunted medieval grimoires as a sinister child atop a two-headed dragon—commanding serpents and leading an army of demons.IN THIS EPISODE: Although Valak is depicted in the films "The Nun" and in “The Conjuring 2” as a habit-wearing spirit, the real demon appears as a child riding a two-headed dragon — at least according to a 17th-century demon-hunting manual.

The solution he chose pleased no one. (Thus She Passed Away) *** In the 1800s scientists and doctors needed cadavers to study human anatomy and practice their skills.
