Češka će slediti VB ako se odluči za izlazak iz EU 
...Odluka Brisela da brojne članice EU prisili na prihvatanje kvota o izbeglicama u mnogim je zemljama izazvala bes. Tri petine Čeha u anketi sprovedenoj u oktobru 2015. reklo je da nisu zadovoljni Evropskom unijom, a čak 62 odsto da bi glasalo za izlazak na eventualnom referendumu.

Japan is running out of people

Japan's population decreased by nearly 1 million people over the past five years according to the country's latest census, the first recorded population decline for the country since the 1920s.
Officials expect deaths to continue to outnumber births for the foreseeable future.
The largest drop, unsurprisingly, was in Fukushima, site of the 2011 nuclear disaster.
At current rates, by 2060, Japan's population will be one-third smaller than it is now and 40 percent of its citizens will be older than 65, a grim prospect for an already struggling economy.Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government has introduced some policies aimed at increasing the birth rate, including tax incentives for having children and increasing access to child care.
Measures to address the hostility toward working mothers in many Japanese companies would also help, and the country is making some progress on that front. But the government is probably too late to stop the decline altogether.One obvious solution to Japan's population problem would be foreign immigration, but Abe has shown little interest in loosening the country's notoriously strict immigration laws.
Foreigners account for only 2 percent of Japan's population, which includes many ethnic Koreans who have lived in the country for generations.
While the government is considering letting in more foreigners, Abe has spoken with pride of Japan being an "extremely homogenous" country, so the kind of influx that might stabilize the population is unlikely.Fertility rates are falling in virtually every developed country. Without immigration, the U.S. population would also be declining.
As people get richer and more educated, they tend to have fewer children. As life expectancies increase, populations get grayer.
Thanks to a number of factors including density, education, the high cost of living, and a particularly irreligious population, this is happening faster in Japan than in most places.But dubious trend stories aside, there's nothing that weird about Japan's situation. It's not an outlier; it's a preview.

 Surrogate Mom Gives Birth to Baby Girl with Serious Birth Defects Despite Parents' Order to Abort: 'She Is Everything I Believed She Would Be'

When Crystal Kelley met the couple she ended up being a surrogate for in 2011, she says she felt an immediate connection.
"They offered to come and meet me near my home," Kelley, 33, of Vernon, Connecticut, tells PEOPLE. "It was very nice when we met. I really liked them."
After spending time with the couple and their three kids at a nearby playground, Kelley says it was obvious that the couple loved their children.
"They were interactive with their kids," says Kelley. "Their father was playing with them and they were all having a great time. Their mom and I were just standing to the side watching them and she couldn't stop smiling."
Afterwards, they sat down and talked about why the couple wanted to find a surrogate mother.
"She teared up," says Kelley. "She was very emotional as she talked about how they only had two embryos left and they were reaching the end of their five-year storage time and they had to make the decision very soon whether they were going to keep them or get rid of them." (The couple had used an anonymous egg donor.)
Kelley says she immediately saw "the emotions in her eyes."
Later that night, Kelley sent the agent for her surrogacy an email saying that she loved the couple and would be more than happy to carry for them.
An Absolute NightmareThat blissful vision was short-lived.
While going over the contract, something about the abortion clause didn't sit well with Kelley.
"Originally, it said [the parents] could ask for an abortion at any time and for any reason," she says.
Kelley wanted the clause taken out altogether, but settled with abortion only being an option if the baby had a severe fetal abnormality determined by 3D ultrasound.
"I thought there was such a small chance that anything was going to happen," she says. "I absolutely regret that. It's tough to think back on."
Kelley learned she was pregnant eight days after she had the embryo transfer. The mother would call her almost every day and send her texts and emails.
"They would say, 'We're so excited. Do you think it's a boy or girl?' "
At 18 weeks pregnant, Kelley learned the baby was a girl after an ultrasound. The mother, who already had two boys and one girl, was over the moon.
They were also told that they couldn't see the baby's heart well enough, and to come back for another ultrasound two weeks later.
It was then that "everything started to fall apart," she says.
When the follow-up ultrasound revealed troubling results, Kelley received a call from the mother, who had already learned that the baby had a possible heart defect.
"She called and said, 'My husband and I have really thought about this and discussed it. We have had preemies and we know what challenges preemies face and we really don't want to bring another disabled baby into the world.'
"That was when I started to get really worried. I'm standing outside in the sun and then all of a sudden I got cold and clammy," she recalls. "It was all of a sudden, like everything switched. I told her, 'Let's remember we talked about this. I'm not willing to terminate a pregnancy for a child with a disability. I'm not terminating the pregnancy unless the baby is going to die.' "
On Her OwnFour days later, Kelley had another ultrasound, which confirmed what had been detected the week before.

The baby not only had a heart defect, but ultrasound technicians couldn't locate the fetus' stomach and also learned she had a cleft lip.
While Kelley was ready to get further tests, she says the parents made it clear they didn't want to move forward with the pregnancy.
"They said they didn't think it was the direction they wanted to go and that they didn't want to continue this knowing this child is going to be born and is going to suffer," she remembers.
Kelley says she told them, "You don't know that she is going to suffer. You don't know yet what's really going on. All we have is this ultrasound and the one before, which doesn't really give us any answers."
Kelley already had a daughter of her own who had fully recovered from heart surgery and wanted to give this baby the same chance.
"My daughter is happy, healthy and absolutely full of energy. You look at her and you can't tell that there was anything was ever wrong with her," she says. "So I wasn't just going to give up on this baby."
After that conversation, Kelley never saw or spoke to the parents again.
All correspondence was through the agent or a lawyer, who told her she was "obligated to terminate this pregnancy immediately."
At that point, Kelley was just a few weeks away from being 24 weeks pregnant. After that, she couldn't legally abort the pregnancy.
When she sat down with a lawyer who asked her if she would consider having an abortion, she confidently told him, "no."
"I told him that I'm not going to terminate just because they want me to. If there was something wrong and they could prove it and they could prove that she was going to die before she was born or right after she was born, then I might have a different answer. If she's going to live, I need to give her that chance."
Although Kelley decided to go through with the pregnancy, she didn't anticipate what was to come next.
Because she didn't have parental rights for the baby in the state of Connecticut after the baby girl was born, the baby would most likely become a warden of the state.
"I wasn't going to have a baby knowing that she would immediately go into foster care," says Kelley. "This baby was created on purpose. She should not end up in the foster system, especially being a child of special needs."
So she decided to make a drastic move and pack her kids up and head to Michigan, where under state law she had legal rights as the child's mother.
Soon after, the baby's father gave up his parental rights under the condition that he and his wife could keep in touch with the adoptive family about the baby. They also demanded information about the birth and wanted their name on the birth certificate.
Living in an on-campus apartment at the University Michigan in Ann Arbor with her two young daughters, Kelley spent the final two months of her pregnancy thinking about the baby girl's future.
With little money and no job at the time, Kelley knew that she wasn't in the best situation to raise the baby, so she was determined to find her a loving and happy home.
"My friend had a good friend who was a mom to three kids with special needs and she had adopted two of them. She told me she'd be a great resource for me," Kelley says. "We became close and when I asked her if she would adopt her, she said yes."
When Baby S – her adoptive parents are comfortable using her first initial – was born on June 25, 2012, "she did amazing," Kelley shares.
"It's pretty vindicating, I guess, because everyone else wanted to give up on her," says Kelley. "She's always been a fighter. She was feisty even when I was pregnant with her."
Today, the baby is 3 years old and is an "an outspoken kid in her own little way."
"She doesn't let things hold her back. It makes me feel great, but I knew she was going to be like this," says Kelley, who sees the little girl twice a year in Michigan and wrote a book about her experience.
"You have to listen to your gut and by listening to my gut, I was proven right," she continues. "Everything that I believed she would be, she is. She's alive, she's capable, she's growing and learning and doing things that normal toddlers do."

Nego, Hitler:

The New York Times' first article about Hitler's rise is absolutely stunning

On November 21, 1922, the New York Times published its very first article about Adolf Hitler. It's an incredible read — especially its assertion that "Hitler's anti-Semitism was not so violent or genuine as it sounded." This attitude was, apparently, widespread among Germans at the time; many of them saw Hitler's anti-Semitism as a ploy for votes among the German masses.
Times correspondent Cyril Brown spendsmost of the piece documenting the factors behind Hitler's early rise in Bavaria, Germany, including his oratorical skills. For example: "He exerts an uncanny control over audiences, possessing the remarkable ability to not only rouse his hearers to a fighting pitch of fury, but at will turn right around and reduce the same audience to docile coolness."
But the really extraordinary part of the article is the three paragraphs on anti-Semitism. Brown acknowledges Hitler's vicious anti-Semitism as the core of Hitler's appeal — and notes the terrified Jewish community was fleeing from him — but goes on to dismiss it as a play to satiate the rubes (bolding mine):

He is credibly credited with being actuated by lofty, unselfish patriotism. He probably does not know himself just what he wants to accomplish. The keynote of his propaganda in speaking and writing is violent anti-Semitism. His followers are nicknamed the "Hakenkreuzler."

So violent are Hitler's fulminations against the Jews that a number of prominent Jewish citizens are reported to have sought safe asylums in the Bavarian highlands, easily reached by fast motor cars, whence they could hurry their women and children when forewarned of an anti-Semitic St. Bartholomew's night.
But several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idea that Hitler's anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semitic propaganda as a bait to catch masses of followers and keep them aroused, enthusiastic, and in line for the time when his organization is perfected and sufficiently powerful to be employed effectively for political purposes.
A sophisticated politician credited Hitler with peculiar political cleverness for laying emphasis and over-emphasis on anti-Semitism, saying: "You can't expect the masses to understand or appreciate your finer real aims. You must feed the masses with cruder morsels and ideas like anti-Semitism. It would be politically all wrong to tell them the truth about where you really are leading them."

Now, Brown's sources in all likelihood did tell him that Hitler's anti-Semitism was for show. That was a popular opinion during Nazism's early days. But that speaks to how unprepared polite German society was for a movement as sincerely, radically violent as Hitler's to take power.
One other thing: If "violent anti-Semitism" was such a winning issue for Hitler, what does that tell us about the state of public opinion in Bavaria in 1922?

Mass Killer Breivik: Prison Life Is 'Inhuman'

The mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik has accused Norwegian authorities of "inhuman" and "degrading" treatment in prison which violates his human rights.
The killer, who is serving 21 years in jail for the 2011 killing of 77 people, is being held at a high-security facility in Norway.
He is suing the Norwegian state over his treatment, which he claims is in contravention of the European Convention on Human Rights.
A hearing will be held at the Skein prison, where the 37-year-old killer is being held, later this month.
Ahead of the hearing the office of Norway's attorney general has defended the conditions applied to Breivik's incarceration.
According to a document submitted to the Oslo district court, authorities believe "the measures which have been applied to the plaintiff ... are well within the limits of what is permitted".
The document reveals Breivik has access to three cells within the jail: one for living in, another for studying and a third for exercise.
He has access to a TV, a computer and a games console.
Breivik is not allowed contact with other inmates, but he interacts with guards and professional staff.
"There are limits to his contact with the outside world which are of course strict - it pretty much has to be that way - but he is not totally excluded from all contact with other people," Marius Emberland, the lawyer who will defend the state at the hearing, told AFP.
But Breivik's lawyer Oystein Storrvik claims his client has been suffering from "clear isolation damage" caused by him being cut off from visitors.
Storrvik said in another document submitted to the court that "the only visit from a non-professional (in the first two years of Breivik's sentence) was that of the plaintiff's mother" just before she died of cancer.
Breivik also accuses the state of not respecting "his private and family life ... and his correspondence".
Authorities say the restrictions are necessary to prevent Breivik from building up an "extremist network" outside the prison.
Breivik murdered eight people in a bomb attack on 22 July 2011. He later killed a further 69 people when he opened fire on the island of Utoya.
He was sentenced to serve 21 years in jail in August 2012.

France tells British voters migrants will flow to Britain after EU exit

AMIENS, France/LONDON (Reuters) - France warned Britain on Thursday it would end border controls and let thousands of migrants move on to its neighbour if British voters backed leaving the European Union.
French Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron also said France would open its arms to British-based banks wanting to stay in the bloc, in comments published just before Prime Minister David Cameron met President Francois Hollande at an Anglo-French security summit.
Cameron has made protecting security a key argument in his campaign to keep Britain in the European Union in a referendum on June 23 and suggested last month that refugees living in a camp in the French town of Calais could flock to England if British voters decided to leave.
"The day this relationship unravels, migrants will no longer be in Calais," Macron told the Financial Times, adding that rules allowing British-based banks to operate across the EU would be lost.
"Collective energy would be spent on unwinding existing links, not re-creating new ones," he said.
After meeting Cameron in Amiens, 120 km (75 miles) north of Paris, Hollande also said there would be consequences for Britain if it left but did not want "to exert pressure on the British people".
"There will be consequences in a lot of ways: for the single market, on financial markets, there will be consequences for the economic development between our countries," Hollande told a news conference after the two leaders agreed to a 2 billion euro ($2.11 billion) drone-building project.
"I don't want to paint a catastrophic picture, but there will be consequences including for people. It won't call into question the historic, friendly relations between France and the United Kingdom. But it will have consequences including in terms of dealing with migration."
SCARE TACTICS
Britain's eurosceptics said the warnings were stage-managed, coordinated by the British government and part of a campaign of scare tactics to win the EU membership referendum.
Peter Bone, co-founder of "Out" campaign Grassroots Out, called Macron's argument preposterous.
"If asylum seekers start arriving at Dover, we will send them straight back. As an independent nation, outside of the EU, we will control our own borders whether the French government likes it or not," he said in a statement.
But Cameron said it was nonsense to suggest the French warnings were part of a conspiracy by the "In" campaign.
"The best thing to do is to listen to the arguments ... and to understand some of the risks and some of the uncertainties about leaving the European Union," he said at the summit commemorating the centenary of the Battle of the Somme in which 600,000 British and French soldiers died.
A British exit would rock the EU - already shaken by differences over migration and by fragility within the euro zone - by ripping away its second-largest economy, one of its top two military powers and by far its richest financial centre.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said that Europe could become less stable if Britain leaves and that the bloc could also become less competitive.
Much of big business supports Britain staying in and according to a Reuters poll, foreign exchange strategists said Britain's economy would be worse off if the country left. None of the 45 strategists polled by Reuters this week said the economy would benefit if the "Out" campaign wins.
Germany's BMW wrote to its British employees about the risks of Brexit, as leaving is known, saying it was "much better to be sat at the table when regulations are set" rather than having to accept them.
The deputy managing director of Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK, Tony Walker, also told reporters that a decision to leave the EU would probably push up costs for Toyota in Britain and could raise questions about future investment decisions.
More than three-quarters of manufacturers and traders in Britain's car industry believe that staying in the EU is best for business because of the risk of trade barriers and skill shortages if the country leaves, a poll showed on Thursday.
The British car industry body SMMT said 77 percent of its members said remaining in the EU was the best option, according to a survey conducted for the body by polling firm ComRes.
The prospect of leaving the EU also pushed growth in Britain's dominant services sector to a near three-year low last month, according to an economic survey.
But opponents of EU membership, including Cameron's main Conservative party rival, London Mayor Boris Johnson, said a vote to leave was Britain's chance to break free.
"Let's believe in ourselves again, rather than clutching the skirts of Brussels," Johnson wrote in The Sun newspaper.

Heh...
Poland turns from model of democracy into European problem

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — For years, Poland was considered a model of democratic transformation, with Lech Walesa's peaceful revolution heralding a new era based on the rule of law.
Now that image is threatened by a new conservative government that has plunged the Central European nation of 38 million into a deep political crisis and raised questions about the ruling party's commitment to democracy. Fears are running high in Europe and the United States that Poland could be on a path similar to that of Hungary, where Prime Minister Viktor Orban has centralized power and restricted civic liberties in creating what he calls an "illiberal state."
Any serious backsliding of democracy in Poland would be a huge blow to democrats across the entire ex-communist region, which ousted communist governments beginning in 1989. Another discouraging sign came earlier this month when neo-Nazis in Slovakia won seats in parliament for the first time.
The turmoil in Poland is focused on steps taken in December by the new ruling party, Law and Justice, which have effectively paralyzed the Constitutional Tribunal, the ultimate arbiter of legislation.
With the court unable to act as a check on the ruling party's power, lawmakers followed with other controversial laws that have centralized the government's power further. These include a law giving the government greater control of the state broadcast media and one increasing police powers of surveillance.
An international human rights commission weighed in on Poland's constitutional crisis Friday with a deeply critical report.
"As long as the situation of constitutional crisis related to the Constitutional Tribunal remains unsettled and as long as the Constitutional Tribunal cannot carry out its work in an efficient manner, not only is the rule of law in danger, but so is democracy and human rights," said the report by the Venice Commission.
The Venice Commission is an arm of the Council of Europe, a human rights organization separate from the European Union. Though its opinion is not legally binding, it carries moral weight and is expected to influence a separate investigation by the EU into the rule of law in Poland.
Some of the language in its report was softer than that of a draft report leaked in late February, an attempt by the commission to create an opening for the Polish government to roll back some of its changes, said Panos Kakaviatos, a Council of Europe spokesman.
Washington has also been trying to encourage Warsaw to resolve the crisis.
"We have expressed our concerns about rule of law developments in Poland," State Department spokesman John Kirby said Friday. "We hope a solution to the current dispute will be found that conforms to Poland's constitution, maintains democratic checks and balances, and meets the highest international standards."
Washington has opted for a quieter, less confrontational approach that than of the EU, whose officials have at times used extreme language — "coup d'etat," a "Putinization of Poland" — to the annoyance of Polish leaders.
It's clear the government does not take well to criticism. Recent reports in the Polish media about U.S. concerns prompted party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski to say: "We will solve our Polish issues on our own, without outside intervention. And let nobody here invoke any friendly relations."
Kaczynski has harshly condemned Poles who have joined pro-democracy protests in recent months, describing them as unpatriotic and out to hurt Poland's interests. Despite deepening tensions between the government and its critics, the government remains popular with its conservative and nationalistic electorate.
The Venice Commission's opinion marks the end of a politically eventful week. On Wednesday the Constitutional Tribunal struck down as unconstitutional the new amendments passed in December that radically affect how it functions. The government said it would refuse to publish the judgment, a condition for it to be binding.
The Venice Commission said refusing to publish the judgment would be "contrary to the rule of law" and would "further deepen the constitutional crisis."
Adam Bodnar, Poland's ombudsman, a state-appointed human rights commissioner who acts with autonomy, said the situation creates a "dangerous" legal situation that could undermine human rights.
"The paralysis of the tribunal gives almost unlimited power to the parliament to adopt any laws it wants," he told The Associated Press. "This is a debate about the democratic regime in Poland. Either we go the way of Orban or we stay with those countries that have constitutional control over the laws adopted by their parliaments."
Law and Justice swept to power last year promising deep change, and vowing to help families and the poor and to support traditional Catholic values. It says its changes to the court were necessary to undo the influence of the previous governing party, Civic Platform, which it accuses of being corrupt and having packed state bodies, thus continuing to influence Poland.
Civic Platform last year acted illegally to appoint two judges to the Constitutional Tribunal before the terms of the outgoing judges had ended. Law and Justice says that illegal act justifies the disputed steps that it took.
"Both previous and present majorities of the Polish parliament (Sejm) have taken unconstitutional actions," the Venice Commission said. It urged government and opposition to work together to resolve the crisis.
The new law on the court includes a stipulation it take up cases in the chronological order in which they are brought to the court. With a huge backlog of cases waiting to be reviewed, it would take about three years before the court could even get to challenges against laws passed by Law and Justice. Once they would be heard, the other new rules would make it extremely difficult for any legislation to get struck down.

Stephen Hawking leads 150 Royal Society scientists against Brexit

Stephen Hawking is the latest high-profile name to come out in favour of staying in the European Union, arguing that Brexit could be a "disaster for science".
Hawking is joined by more than 150 fellows of the Royal Society, including three Nobel laureates and the Astronomer Royal in his warning that any threat to the freedom of movement could have devastating effects on research in Britain.
"We now recruit many of our best researchers from continental Europe, including younger ones who have obtained EU grants and have chosen to move with them here," writes the group in a letter to The Times.
"If the UK leaves the EU and there is a loss of freedom of movement of scientists between the UK and Europe it will be a disaster for UK science and universities.  In the letter they use Switzerland as an example of a country failing to attract young talent after voting to restrict migration of workers.
It says: "Switzerland pays into the EU and was a popular destination for young scientists. It now has limited access to EU funds because it voted to restrict the free movement of workers, and is desperately trying to find alternative ways to attract young talent."
The letter finishes: "Investment in science is as important for the long-term prosperity and security of the UK as investment in infrastructure projects, farming or manufacturing; and the free movement of scientists is as important for science as free trade is for market economics."
The Royal Society is Britain's leading scientific institution with 1,600 fellows and foreign members.  The news comes as Michael Gove was yesterday at the centre of the EU row after he was implicated in leaking details of a private conversation which suggested that the Queen favours leaving the EU.
The Justice Secretary refused to deny that he was the source of a leaked exchange between the Queen and four members of the Privy Council in April 2011.
The conversation was reported in the Sun newspaper as evidence that the "Queen backs Brexit", dragging Her Majesty into the row over Britain's EU membership for the first time.

Dečak optužen za radikalizam zbog crteža

Vaspitači u jednom britanskom obdaništu užasnuli su se kada su videli crtež četvorogodišnjeg dečaka iz muslimanske porodice.

IZVOR: SPUTNJIK
SUBOTA, 12.03.2016.

Dete je reklo da je nacrtalo svog oca koji seče krastavac (cucumber), ali se vaspitačima učinilo da je izgovorio reč "bomba" (cooker-bomb).

Ne samo što su zvali policiju, nego su pretili i da će dečaka prijaviti za program deradikalizacije, piše britanski list "Gardijan".

Dečakova majka morala je čak dva puta da snimi video u kojem pita sina, pokazujući mu krastavac, kako se zove to što drži u ruci. I u ovom slučaju njegov izgovor podseća na izraz "kuker bomb", koji se može prevesti kao "bomba ručne izrade".

Majka je priznala i da je razočarana time što nikakvo izvinjenje od saradnika dečje ustanove nije dobila.

"Oni su se okomili na mene kao krdo, pokazivali su mi papire i izveštaje. Veoma je neprijatno što je moj sin postao deo svega ovoga", rekla je majka.

Ona je jednu od vaspitačica pitala da li joj liči na teroristkinju, na šta joj je ova odgovorila: "A da li je Džimi Sevil (britanski di-džej sa titulom viteza, za koga se posle smrti saznalo da je vršio seksualno nasilje nad maloletnicima) ličio na pedofila?".

Deo internet korisnika okarakterisao je ponašanje vaspitača kao ispoljavanje islamofobije, dok su drugi objavili ironične ilustracije s detaljima "krastavac-bombe".

Žena ne planira da prebacuje dete u drugi vrtić, ali ga je zamolila da ne crta ništa dok je tamo. Na to je dečak odgovorio: "Neću ništa crtati. Možda samo kuću ili daljinski upravljač..."

"Nemoj da ti padne na pamet da crtaš upravljač!", uzviknula je majka.

Prema mišljenju ,,Gardijana", problem je, prevashodno, u preteranom pritisku koji vlada vrši na socijalne službe, zahtevajući od njih da se bore protiv ekstremizma i propagiranja radikalnog islama među decom.

U Lutonu, u kojem se dogodio ovaj slučaj, gotovo trećina stanovništva su muslimani.

The Trouble With the TPP, Day 50: The Case Against Ratifying the Trans Pacific Partnership

Nearly two-and-a-half months ago, I started a daily examination of the Trans Pacific Partnership focused on the intellectual property and digital policy issues raised by the agreement. My initial plan for the Trouble with the TPP series was to write for one month leading up to the planned signing in New Zealand on February 4th. However, the more I dug into the TPP, the more trouble I found. With this final post in the series, I wrap up the key IP and digital policy concerns with links to all the original posts.
Canadians interested in the TPP now have an opportunity to have their voices heard. The Standing Committee on International Trade has been conducting hearings on the agreement for several weeks and has announced plans for cross-country consultations. Canadians can provide written submissions by April 30th. Alternatively, they can ask the committee to appear as a witness. Details on the committee opportunities can be found here. In addition, Canadians can send their comments directly to Global Affairs Canada, which is managing the government's consultation. The email address is TPP-PTP.Consultations@international.gc.ca.
Why should Canadians speak out on the TPP?  The former co-CEO of Research in Motion Jim Balsillie, Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke, Ford Canada CEO Dianne Craig, the Sierra Club, Doctors Without Borders, Canadian library groups, innovation expert Dan Breznitz, former deputy chief economist at Global Affairs Canada Dan Ciuriak, Canadian publisher Don LePan of Broadview Press, political science professor Blayne Haggart, investment dispute settlement expert professor Gus Van Harten, my colleague Professor Jeremy de Beer, and the Canadian Labour Congress are among those that have voiced concern with the agreement. My assessment of the IP and digital issues in the Trouble with the TPP series identified at least 49 reasons:
Canada Was at a Negotiating Disadvantage From the Start
Canada was not an initial participant in the TPP negotiations. The price of admission into the talks was very high with the government acknowledging that it enacted U.S.-demanded copyright and anti-counterfeiting reforms as a condition of entry. Just prior to entering the negotiations, Canada agreed to further conditions, including that it could not hold up any chapter if it was the lone opponent, a position that undermined its negotiating power on many key issues. In fact, at the very late stages of negotiations, documents obtained under Access to Information reveal that the lead Canadian TPP negotiator and senior officials were warned that Canada was at a disadvantage, yet nothing was done to address the issue.
Intellectual Property Rules Lack Balance
Part of the trouble with the TPP is the remarkable lack of balance within the intellectual property chapter. For example, early drafts of the agreement that featured provisions emphasizing balance and the public domain were opposed by the U.S. and ultimately removed. The lack of balance is also evident in how new rights are treated as mandatory requirements, but user-focused provisions are typically just optional. The same is true with how the TPP addresses IP treaties: countries are required to ratify or accede to as many as nine international IP treaties, but the Marrakesh Treaty for the Visually Impaired, the only treaty concerned with user rights, is buried in a footnote and is not required. The lack of balance is also found in specific substantive provisions. For example, the border measures rules do not include the safeguards contained in Canadian law.
Copyright Costs: Term Extension, Criminal Liability and Digital Locks
The TPP copyright provisions will require significant changes to Canadian law and limit Canada's ability to implement future reforms. The agreement will require half of the TPP countries (Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei) to extend their term of copyright at a cost estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The anti-circumvention rules (often referred to as digital locks) raise a host of problems: removal of flexiblity in implementing the WIPO Internet treaties, extension of criminal penalties for rights management information violations, expanding liability for circumvention for personal purposes, and precluding the ability for Canada to establish certain safeguards against digital lock restrictions as contemplated under current Canadian law. The problems with the copyright laws extend even further with the quiet expansion of criminal copyright provisions and the inclusion of U.S.-style notice-and-takedown rules that are viewed as "less speech-protective and more prone to over-enforcement and abuse."
More IP Changes: Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets, and Geographical Indications
The concerns with the TPP's intellectual property chapter extend well beyond copyright. The patent term adjustment rules will extend patent protections for some pharmaceuticals, resulting in enormous increases to health care costs. The protection for next-generation pharmaceuticals known as biologics, creates a standard of eight years of protection (five years plus three years of comparable protection) at a time when countries have adopted a wide range of approaches and even the Obama administration has sought to reduce protection to seven years. Other areas of IP are similarly controversial. Criminalization of trade secret law runs counter the established approach in most TPP countries and is the direct result of U.S. Chamber of Commerce lobbying efforts. Despite a recent overhaul of Canadian trademark law, the TPP requires further changes. The rules on geographical indications are so complex – multiple approaches and four side letters for Canada – that businesses will struggle to make sense of the requirements. The TPP's IP enforcement provisions also raise serious concerns with expanded border measures without court oversight, requirements that Canada provide a report card to the U.S. every six months on anti-counterfeiting activities, and the exclusion of balancing provisions on IP border measures.
Privacy At Risk
Privacy is not an issue typically associated with trade agreements, but the TPP has several provisions with privacy implications. The TPP's general privacy provision is exceptionally weak, allowing enforceable voluntary undertakings to replace actual privacy laws. The TPP's anti-spam provision is similarly weak, adopting an opt-out standard that many TPP countries (including Canada) have rejected as inadequate. Moreover, the TPP creates barriers to future privacy protections, with limitations on data localization requirements and data transfer restrictions. In fact, while Australia obtained a side letter from the U.S. on privacy that addresses concerns about potential privacy clashes between the U.S. and the EU, Canada did not obtain similar assurances. The TPP's source code rules may also pose a privacy risk as restrictions on disclosure run counter to recommendations from some of the Internet's leading experts about how to combat exploited wifi routers.
Step Backward for the Internet and Technology
The TPP touches on the Internet and technology in many ways. In addition to the notice-and-takedown rules, it wades into the Internet governance world, potentially requiring governments to directly intervene within domestic Internet governance. The Canadian government has long rejected that approach (and urged others to do the same), but the TPP raises the possiblity of abdicating those principles in order to meet the agreement's obligations. The TPP's net neutrality standards fail to advance the issue with standards so weak and unenforceable that at least half of the TPP countries already exceed them. E-commerce rules do little to create more legal certainty for online transactions and the TPP's service regulations create regulatory uncertainty for online services such as Uber and onling gambling. The TPP's technology and telecom provisions are not much better. Limitations on source code disclosure has raised cyber-security concerns, while so-called safeguards against encryption backdoors are largely illusory and would not stop orders similar to the one involving the Apple iPhone. Canada also failed to advance its technology interests with no side agreements similar to those obtained by Australia.
Restrictions on Canadian Cultural Policy
The Canadian position on trade and culture has been consistent for decades with successive governments requiring a full exemption for the cultural industries. The TPP adopts a different approach with exceptions to the cultural exception. That includes limitations on financial contributions for Canadian content development and measures restricting access to online video content. While there is some debate on the full implications of the TPP provision, it seems certain that attempts to expand the Cancon system would be challenged under the agreement.
Health Costs and Regulation
The TPP has enormous implications for health care and access to medicines. In addition to the patent term restoration and biologics protection – which could both add millions to health care costs – the TPP places limits on medical devices and pharmaceutical data collection, provisions which are buried in the Technical Barriers to Trade chapter. The TPP also sets rules for a future national pharmacare program with provisions contained in an annex on transparency.
Risks from the Investor-State Dispute Settlement Provisions
The TPP's investor-state dispute settlement provisions have rightly attracted considerable attention given the risks that come with a process that gives companies the right to sue governments for hundreds of millions of dollars. The TPP ISDS rules do not meet the Canadian government's own standard for dispute settlement as reflected in the Canada – EU Trade Agreement. The CETA provisions include a clear affirmation of governmental power to regulate, an appellate process, and rules designed to ensure fairness and non-bias in settlement cases. The TPP does not contain equivalent provisions as it entrenches, rather than reforms, a flawed system. The potential costs of ISDS are huge: the Eli Lilly case highlights the impact on Canadian regulation and the prospect of hundreds of millions in liability, while Canada's track record on investor disputes has been terrible.
Limited Economic Gains for Canada
While there are enormous costs and risks associated with the TPP, the economic studies to date suggest limited gains. Several studies project weak growth for Canada as a result of the TPP. In fact, some studies anticipate job losses for Canada with the highest per capital job losses among all TPP countries. Even sectors that are supposed winners are a mixed bag. For example, the agricultural sector may have some winners, but the dairy industry anticipates billions in losses and the wine sector says it is not ready to take advantage of the TPP.
What Comes Next
The Trouble with the TPP series examined dozens of provisions in the agreement and their implications for Canadians and Canadian law. While Canada signed the agreement last month, signing a treaty does not create binding legal obligations. As the consultation process unfolds, it is important to remember that the TPP cannot take effect unless the U.S. and Japan ratify it. Given that the TPP will require many legislative changes and create significant costs, it simply makes no sense to make those changes and incur the downside of the agreement without assurances that it will actually take effect. Ratification without assurances that the TPP will become a reality isn't leadership. It's stupidity. There is a very strong case against Canadian ratification of the TPP, but even if the government decides to move ahead, it must surely wait until it is certain that the deal will in fact come into force.
In fact, should Canada move toward ratification of the TPP, there is a concern that attempts to mitigate the harm of some provisions will face opposition from the U.S. While implementation flexibility is the goal of every negotiator, the U.S. reserves the right to "certify" whether other TPP countries have, in its view, properly implemented the agreement. The certification process is not found in the TPP, yet it is a part of how the U.S. approaches trade agreements that effectively grants it an additional opportunity to shape the TPP by establishing its own requirements on implementation and forcing others to abide by its interpretation of otherwise flexible provisions.

Eksplozije na briselskom aerodromu i metro stanici, najmanje 11 mrtvih

09.30 - Poginulo 11 ljudi, a 25 je ranjeno, javljaju belgijska televizija VRT i dnevnik Dernier Er.
09.20 - Eksplozija se dogodila i na metro stanici u blizini institucija EU.
09.05 - Na aerodromu pronađene tri bombe. 
09.00 - Pre eksplozija bilo je pucnjave, a čulo se i da je neko vikao na arapskom, navodi belgijska novinska agencija Belga.
Dve eksplozije dogodile su se jutros na aerodromu u Briselu, pri čemu je najmanje 11 osoba poginulo, a 20 je povređeno.
Nekoliko ljudi je povrede zadobilo na terminalu za polaske aviona, navodi Rojters, pozivajući se na belgijske medije.
Eksplozije na najvećem aerodromu u Belgiji odjeknule su nešto pre 08.00 časova, a na lice mesta upućena su vozila Hitne pomoći.
"Na aerodromu je došlo do ekplozije. Plan za vanredne situacije će svakako biti aktiviran", rekao je za televiziju Bel RTL Rudi Vervort, predsednik Briselskog regiona.
Po nalogu policije, železnički saobraćaj na briselskom aerodromu je obustavljen.
Očevici navode da se oseća miris baruta i da je plafon aerodromske zgrade urušen.
Neimenovani očevidac je belgijskoj televiziji rekao da je u trenutku kada je začuo eksploziju čekao u redu za registrovanje.
"Video sam dim i ljude koji u panici jure ka izlazu. Onda je usledila još jedna eksplozija, mnogo bliže meni. Svi su napustili aerodrom u panici, a većina ljudi je ostavila prtljag na licu mesta. Vozila u okolini aerodroma su evakuisana", rekao je.


Na terminalu za poletanje u trenutku eksplozije nalazio se veliki broj ljudi jer je za jutros bilo zakazano mnogo polazaka, navodi list Libr Belžik.
Prozori na zgradi aerodroma su razbijeni usled jačine eksplozije.
Ekspert za terorizam Klod Monike ocenjuje, na osnovu snimaka i fotografija, da je reč o snažnim eksplozijama.
Rojters primećuje da je do jutrošnjeg incidenta došlo četiri dana nakon što je u Briselu uhapšen glavni osumnjičeni za novembarske napade u Parizu Saleh Abdeslam.

[Anomander Rejk]

Toliko o bezbednosti, sigurnosti i snazi EU. Ako mogu ovako udariti u centru EU i NATO, mogu svuda. A evropljani neka i dalje slede Amere i glavnim neprijateljima smatraju Putina.

[Meho Krljic]

Dobro, ne preterujmo odmah sa eshatološkim tonom, Brisel je svakakoi dalje mnogo bezbedniji od Bejruta ili, šta znam... Moskve?

[Dybuk]

Sto je Moskva nebezbedna?

Svakako bezbedniji od Istanbula koji je sad ratna zona, otprilike.

[Anomander Rejk]

Da li je bezbedniji? Nije li u onom, kako se zvaše, Molenbeku, centar islamista?
I ovo je odista zabrinjavajuće. Mislim gde god se desi, naravno, strašno je, ali ipak u Parizu su faktički pucali s ulice, u kafić. Ovde je napad izvršen unutar aerodroma. Gde postoje tolike kamere, detektori, obezbeđenje. Očito će se morati kontrolisati svi koji ulaze u aerodromsku zgradu, i oni koji nekog čekaju, ne samo putnici i ptrljag.

[Dybuk]

Da, kako su uspeli da to unesu, uopste? Kao na utakmicama kad udju sa svinjskim polutkama, pirotehnikom i bakljama, a obican svet ne moze da unese svezanj kljuceva. Inside job.
Svakako ce narod skidati do gole koze, ubuduce.

[Meho Krljic]

Sto je Moskva nebezbedna?

Ima ovde zgodna sistematizacija instraživanja o bezbednosti gradova koje je radio UNODC pre neku godinu:

http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/interactive/2012/nov/30/deadliest-cities-worldwide-murder-rates-interactive


Moskva je manje bezbedna od Brisela na ovoj listi a na osnovu broja ubistava na 100.000 osoba. Svakako teroristički napadi malčice utiču da se ovo promeni, ali i u Rusiji je posle mnogo godina opadanja kriminala prošle godine zabeležen skok što svakako povlači i pad bezbednosti. Takođe, sasvim je legitimno zamisliti da će i Rusija sada biti izložena povišenom riziku od terorizma nakon direktnog učešća u ratu u Siriji.

Mislim takođe da treba imati na umu da su bezbednosne procedure na evropskim aerodromima usmerene pre svega na ideju da treba obezbediti avion od rušenja tako da je unošenje oružja ili eksploziva u aerodromsku zgradu i njihovo korišćenje na civilima tamo sasvim izvodljivo. Na ženevskom aerodromu ja sam, recimo, video beskućnike kako se motaju oko kontrole prtljaga, a na briselskom, iako su mi izvadili bočicu gela za brijanje iz prtljaga jer je imala 150 mililitara (mada je bila praktičn prazna) to ne znači da nisam već nekog mogao da napadnem do te tačke, a i sa istom bočicom sam bez problema ušao u avione u Beogradu i u Beču. Krajem sedamdesetih godina su teroristički napadi na aerodromima bili relativno učestala pojava (tada je to bio crveni terorizam) ali su otmice aviona po modusu operandiju bile usmerene da se avion skrene i odveze na neku drugu destinaciju a ne na njegovo rušenje pa su i bezbednosne procedure prioritizovale bezbednost na tlu. Od 11 Septembra 2001. godine, filozofija bezbednosti se menja, tako da se avion zaštiti od rušenja ali se istovremeno relaksira bezbednosna procedura na samom tlu, odnosno u "manje bitnim" delovima aerodromske zgrade pa su oni sada lakše mete itd.

Millionaires: Raise Our Taxes to Address Poverty, Fix Roads

More than 40 millionaires, including members of the Rockefeller and Disney families, are asking to have their taxes raised to help address poverty and rebuild failing infrastructure.
The millionaires wrote a letter to Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo and top New York lawmakers proposing new, higher tax rates for the top 1 percent of earners in the state. The letter, a copy of which was given to The Associated Press, says additional revenue is needed to address child poverty, homelessness and aging bridges, tunnels, water pipes and roads.
"As New Yorkers who have contributed to and benefited from the economic vibrancy of our state, we have both the ability and the responsibility to pay our fair share," the letter states. "We can well afford to pay our current taxes, and we can afford to pay even more."
Those signing the letter include Abigail Disney, Leo Hindery and Steven C. Rockefeller. The tax plan, known as the one-percent tax plan, was worked out in conjunction with the Fiscal Policy Institute, a left-leaning economic think tank.
"As a businessman and philanthropist and as a citizen of New York state, I believe we need to invest in our people and our infrastructure," Hindery, the managing partner of InterMedia Partners, a media industry private equity fund, said in a statement accompanying the letter. "The one-percent tax plan makes it possible to make these investments, and simply asks people like me to continue to pay a higher tax rate, as we should."
The one-percent plan would create new, higher tax rates for those making $665,000 or more.
Currently, single filers making more than $1,062,000 pay the state's top rate of 8.82 percent. Under the one-percent plan, the 8.82 rate would apply to anyone making $1 million to $2 million, and higher rates of 9.35 percent, 9.65 percent and 9.99 percent would apply to those making $2 million to $10 million, $10 million to $100 million and more than $100 million, respectively.
Their proposal faces significant political obstacles in the state Legislature. While the Democratic majority in the Assembly has its own plan to increase taxes on millionaires, the Republican-led Senate opposes the idea. Lawmakers are now negotiating the details of the state budget and hope to have a deal in place by April 1.
An existing, lower tax on millionaires is set to expire next year.
"Whether it's income taxes, property taxes, business taxes, user fees, or tolls, we don't support raising taxes or asking hard-working New Yorkers to dig deeper into their pockets to pay more," Senate Leader John Flanagan, a Long Island Republican, said last month after Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, a Democrat, released his millionaire tax plan.

The war against ISIS: What's changed for the terrorists





A ima i ovo:



IS trains 400 fighters to attack Europe in wave of bloodshed

PARIS (AP) — The Islamic State group has trained at least 400 fighters to target Europe in deadly waves of attacks, deploying interlocking terror cells like the ones that struck Brussels and Paris with orders to choose the time, place and method for maximum chaos, officials have told The Associated Press.
The network of agile and semiautonomous cells shows the reach of the extremist group in Europe even as it loses ground in Syria and Iraq.
The officials, including European and Iraqi intelligence officials and a French lawmaker who follows the jihadi networks, described camps in Syria, Iraq and possibly the former Soviet bloc where attackers are trained to target the West. Before being killed in a police raid, the ringleader of the Nov. 13 Paris attacks claimed he had entered Europe in a multinational group of 90 fighters, who scattered "more or less everywhere."
But the biggest break yet in the Paris attacks investigation — the arrest on Friday of fugitive Salah Abdeslam — did not thwart the multipronged attack just four days later on the Belgian capital's airport and subway system that left 31 people dead and an estimated 270 wounded. Three suicide bombers also died.
Just as in Paris, Belgian authorities were searching for at least one fugitive in Tuesday's attacks — this time for a man wearing a white jacket who was seen on airport security footage with the two suicide attackers. The fear is that the man, whose identity Belgian officials say is not known, will follow Abdeslam's path.
After fleeing Paris immediately after the November attacks, Abdeslam forged a new network back in his childhood neighborhood of Molenbeek, long known as a haven for jihadis, and renewed plotting, according to Belgian officials.
"Not only did he drop out of sight, but he did so to organize another attack, with accomplices everywhere. With suicide belts. Two attacks organized just like in Paris. And his arrest, since they knew he was going to talk, it was a response: 'So what if he was arrested? We'll show you that it doesn't change a thing,'" said French Senator Nathalie Goulet, co-head of a commission tracking jihadi networks.
Estimates range from 400 to 600 Islamic State fighters trained specifically for external attacks, according to the officials, including Goulet. Some 5,000 Europeans have gone to Syria.
"The reality is that if we knew exactly how many there were, it wouldn't be happening," she said.
More than four sources with access to tallies of fighters tasked with Europe attacks independently corroborated the numbers of fighters who trained for specific attacks in Europe, including some who have spoken to fighters directly. Others have cross checked information regarding fighters leaving or returning.
Two of the suicide bombers in Tuesday's attacks, Belgian-born brothers Ibrahim and Khalid El Bakraoui, were known to authorities as common criminals, not anti-Western radicals until an apartment one of them rented was traced to Abdeslam last week, according to Belgian state broadcaster RTBF. Similarly, an Algerian killed inside that apartment on March 15 had nothing but a petty theft record in Sweden — but he'd signed up as an Islamic State suicide bomber for the group in 2014 and returned to Europe as part of the Nov. 13 plot.
In claiming responsibility for Tuesday's attack, the Islamic State group described a "secret cell of soldiers" dispatched to Brussels for the purpose. The shadowy cells were confirmed by the EU police agency, Europol, which said in a late January report that intelligence officials believed the group had "developed an external action command trained for special forces-style attacks."
French speakers with links to North Africa, France and Belgium appear to be leading the units and are responsible for developing attack strategies in Europe, said a European security official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss briefing material. He is also familiar with interrogations of former fighters who have returned to Europe. Some were jailed after leaving IS while others were kicked out of the terror group, and they include Muslims and Muslim converts from all across Europe.
Fighters in the units are trained in battleground strategies, explosives, surveillance techniques and counter surveillance, the security official said.


"The difference is that in 2014, some of these IS fighters were only being given a couple weeks of training," he said. "Now the strategy has changed. Special units have been set up. The training is longer. And the objective appears to no longer be killing as many people as possible but rather to have as many terror operations as possible, so the enemy is forced to spend more money or more in manpower."
Similar methods had been developed by al-Qaida but IS has taken it to a new level, he said. Another difference is that fighters are being trained to be their own operators — not necessarily to be beholden to orders from the IS stronghold in Raqqa, Syria, or elsewhere.
Several security officials have said there is growing evidence to suggest the bulk of the training is taking place in Syria, Libya and elsewhere in North Africa.
In the case of Tuesday's attacks, Abdeslam's arrest may have been a trigger for a plot that was already far along.
"To pull off an attack of this sophistication, you need training, planning, materials and a landscape," said Shiraz Maher, a senior research fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at Kings College in London, which has one of the largest databases of fighters and their networks.
"Even if they worked flat out, the attackers in Brussels would have needed at least four days," said Maher, who has conducted extensive interviews with foreign fighters.
The question for many intelligence and security officials is now turning to just how many more fighters have been trained and are ready for more attacks.
A senior Iraqi intelligence official who was not authorized to speak publicly said people from the cell that carried out the Paris attacks are scattered across Germany, Britain, Italy, Denmark and Sweden. Recently, a new group crossed in from Turkey, the official said.
On Wednesday, Turkish authorities said one of the Brussels suicide attackers, Ibrahim El Bakraoui, was caught last June near the Syrian border and deported to the Netherlands, with Ankara warning Dutch and Belgian officials that he was a "foreign terrorist fighter." But he was released from Dutch custody due to lack of evidence of involvement in extremism.
Belgian Justice Minister Koen Geens said Wednesday that authorities had no reason to detain El Bakraoui because he was "not known for terrorist acts but as a common law criminal who was on conditional release."
The latest new name to surface this week, Najim Laachraoui, turned out to be the bombmaker who made the suicide vests used in the Paris attacks, according to French and Belgian officials. Attackers used an explosive known as Triacetone Triperoxide, or TATP, made from common household chemicals. DNA evidence indicates he died on Tuesday in the suicide attack on the airport, two officials briefed on the investigation told AP.
Fifteen kilos of TATP were found in an apartment linked to the Brussels attackers, along with other explosive material.
The unidentified man seen on security footage wearing a white jacket and black hat at the Brussels airport on Tuesday remains at large, a fugitive link in a chain still being forged.

Pope washes feet of Muslim migrants

CASTELNUOVO DI PORTO, Italy (AP) — Pope Francis washed and kissed the feet of Muslim, Christian and Hindu refugees Thursday and declared them all children of the same God, as he performed a gesture of welcome and brotherhood at a time of increased anti-Muslim sentiment following the Brussels attacks.
Francis denounced the carnage as a "gesture of war" carried out by blood-thirsty people beholden to the weapons industry during an Easter Week Mass with asylum-seekers at a shelter in Castelnuovo di Porto, outside Rome.
The Holy Thursday rite re-enacts the foot-washing ritual Jesus performed on his apostles before being crucified, and is meant as a gesture of service. Francis contrasted that gesture with the "gesture of destruction" carried out by the Brussels attackers, saying they wanted to destroy the brotherhood of humanity represented by the migrants.
"We have different cultures and religions, but we are brothers and we want to live in peace," Francis said in his homily, delivered off-the-cuff in the windy courtyard of the center.
Several of the migrants then wept as Francis knelt before them, poured holy water from a brass pitcher over their feet, wiped them clean and kissed them.
Francis was greeted with a banner reading "Welcome" in a variety of languages as he walked down a makeshift aisle to celebrate the Mass. But only a fraction of the 892 asylum-seekers living at the shelter attended, and many of the seats were left empty. Those who came out, though, received a personal greeting: At the end of the Mass, Francis greeted each refugee, one by one, posing for selfies and accepting notes as he moved down the rows.
Vatican rules had long called for only men to participate in the foot-washing ritual, and past popes and many priests traditionally performed it on 12 Catholic men, recalling Jesus' 12 apostles and further cementing the doctrine of an all-male priesthood.
Francis shocked many Catholics within weeks of his 2013 election by performing the ritual on women and Muslims at a juvenile detention center. After years of violating the rules outright, Francis in January changed the regulations to explicitly allow women and girls to participate.
The Vatican said Thursday that four women and eight men took part. The women included an Italian Catholic who works at the center and three Eritrean Coptic Christian migrants. The men included four Catholics from Nigeria, three Muslims from Mali, Syria and Pakistan and a Hindu man from India.
The Vatican's new norms said anyone from the "people of God" could be chosen to participate in the ceremony. While the phrase "people of God" refers to baptized Christians, the decree also said that pastors should instruct "both the chosen faithful and others so that they may participate in the rite consciously, actively and fruitfully," suggesting that the rite could be open to non-Catholics as well.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the Vatican norms are meant for traditional liturgies in Catholic communities, not necessarily a unique papal Mass where the overall message is one of universal brotherhood and the love of God for all his children.
"We must always take the pastoral context into account," Lombardi said in an email. "Norms that are appropriate for a parish celebration aren't to be considered binding on a very unique celebration of the pope in a refugee center with a non-Christian majority."
Francis clearly intended the message to be universal.
"All of us, together: Muslims, Hindi, Catholics, Copts, Evangelicals. But brothers, children of the same God," he said. "We want to live in peace, integrated."

"Mrzimo Belgiju kao što ona mrzi nas"

U siromašnim delovima Brisela sitni kriminal i prezir prema belačkom belgijskom društvu koje smatraju diksriminatornim prema Arapima, stvara teroriste,piše BBC.
Briselska četvrt Molenbek je mesto puno protivrečnosti.Samo nekoliko minuta od srca EU, taj gusto naseljeni gradski kvart koji vrvi mladima od kojih je 40 odsto nezaposleno došao je u žižu javnosti nakon napada u Parizu kada se otkrilo da su vođa terorističke grupe Abdelhamid Abaud i tri ostala napadača odrasli u Molenbeku.

Među njima i Salah Abdeslam koji je nakon četveromesečne potrage uhapšen ni manje ni više nego u svom kvartu, a svi se pitaju kako je ostao nezapažen tako dugo u nevelikoj gradskoj četvrti i kako su ti urbani mladići iz Molenbeka završili kao džihadisti.

"Evropska Raka"

Većini ljudi u Molenbeku je, piše novinar BBC, muka od novinara i ogorčeni su što ga mediji često nazivaju "džihadističkom prestonicom Evrope" i "evropskom Rakom".

"Ali, jedna rečenica koji novinari u razgovoru s tamošnjim stanovnicima često čuju je da terorizam nema nikakve veze sa islamom. I zaista, mnogi od njih koji su se pridružili Islamskoj državi nemaju izrazito versku pozadinu", navodi novinar BBC Kermani.

Iz razgovora sa komšijama, poznanicima i prijateljima saznaje da su Salah Abdeslam i njegov brat Brahim, koji se razneo u pariskim napadima, nekada vodili kafić u Molenbeku u kojem se prodavao alkohol, a naposletku je bio zatvoren zbog prodaje droge. Jedan od prijatelja braće prepričava da je Brahim redovno "gledao video snimke Islamske države s 'džointom' u jednoj i pivom u drugoj ruci i povremeno baljezgao neke radikalne stvari ali niko ga nije shvatao ozbiljno".

Tek nekoliko meseci pre napada 13. novembra u Parizu, sa 130 mrtvih, dvojica braće su se provodili s devojkama u noćnim klubovima. Mrežu koju su izgradili - kako na temelju lojalnosti, razočarenja, sitnog kriminala tako i radikalne ideologije - pokazala se ključnom za Salahov beg nakon krvavog pira u Parizu. Ta mreža nije samo u Molenbeku, već se proteže delom Brisela znanom kao "croissant pauvre" - siromašni deo grada u obliku polumeseca koji obuhvata i četvrti Šerbek, gde je Salah imao 'sigurnu kuću', i Leken.

"U Molenbeku, to je sigurno, mnogi gaje taj osećaj nezadovoljstva", zaključuje novinar i dodaje da je u razgovorima s mladim muslimanima saznao da oni terorističke napade poput onih u Parizu i sada u Briselu vide kao odgovor na vazdušne udare zapadnih zemalja na Islamsku državu.

"Trebalo bi otputovati u Raku i tamo postaviti to pitanje. Ovde nema demokratije, ne možeš da izraziš niti jedan stav koje odudara od prevladavajućeg mišljenja", kazao je taj musliman koji ne skriva bes i neprijateljstvo prema belgijskoj vladi i belim Belgijancima za koje tvrdi da mrze sve koji su arapskog porekla.

Mladi muslimani se žale i da je teško dobiti posao ako imate adresu u Molenbeku, a smeta im što je devojkama zabranjen hidžab na mnogim radnim mestima. Za indoktrinaciju mladih muslimana rođenih i odraslih u Belgiji mnogo ih je koji upiru prst krivice u šeika Basama Ajačija, jednog od vodećih radikalnih propovednika u Molenbeku. Sirijac star 70 godina stigao je u Brisel 90-ih godina i, prema tvrdnjama, posejao seme radikalnog islama koji se posebno pokazao neodoljiv za mlade delikvente.

Ali, Ajači, koji se u međuvremenu pridružio umerenim islamistima u Siriji, je nedvosmisleno osudio napade u Parizu i prikazuje se gorećim protivnikom Bašara al-Asada i ID. Islamska država je polušala da ga ubije podmetanjem bombe u automobilu. Koštalo ga je ruke, ali je preživeo.

Za mlade u Molenbeku koji se pridružuju ID je novinaru BBC-a preko skajpa kazao da "kaljaju ime islama i sirijsku revoluciju". Njihovu radikalizaciju pripisuje, s jedne strane, nereagovanju sveta na Asadov režim i, s druge strane, marginalizovanosti muslimana u Belgiji.

"Da, neki od njih su delikventi, prodaju hašiš i rade druge stvari. Naposetku završe u zatvoru i odjednom otkriju da je povratak religiji nešto čudesno. I tako su se, nakon što su sami sebi kazali da će zaboraviti na gluposti koje su radili u životu, pokajali i okrenuli religiji, ali s velikom mržnjom prema zapadnjačkom društvu", objasnio je Ajači.

Ali, ima onih koji to objašnjenje o pokajanju i okretanju religiji potpuno odbacuju i tvrde: "To ne može biti razlog, svi imamo nekih problema s policijom pa ne završimo tako", rekao je BBC-u jedan mladić koji nije mogao ponuditi razlog njihove radikalizacije, osim da su se Islamskoj državi pridružili zbog novca, prenosi Hina.

Neki tu transformaciju zločestih momaka iz kriminalnog miljea u džihadističke borce objašnjavaju i potrebom za "mačo glamurom", ali je takođe činjenica da su se mnogi upoznali s džihadističkim idejama ne baš sasvim slučajno, već su bili regrutovani.

"Jedan od najuspešnijih u regrutovanju arapske mladeži bio je Kalid Zerkani koji se trenutno nalazi u belgijskom zatvoru. Prema sudskim spisima, on ne samo da je indoktrinirao buduće džihadiste već im je omogućio kontakte sa švercerima ljudi u Turskoj koji su ih prebacivali na područja u Siriju, poklanjajući im ukradene stvari, zbog čega je zaradio nadimak Deda Mraz", stoji u tekstu novinara BBC-a.

Jedan od mladića koji se našao pod njegovim uticajem je bio Joni Majne koji je zajedno s Abdelhamidom Abaudom putovao u Siriju. Njegova majka za radikalizaciju sina optužuje Zerkanija.

"Uništio je život mog sina koji je imao samo 23 godine, Uništio je i moj život i neću mu to zaboraviti", kazala je. Prema njenim rečima, kod sina je uočila veliku promenu nakon što je upoznao Zerkanija.

"Nekada je nosio samo firmirane stvari, a onda je sve to ostavio, nije više koristio ni parfeme, već se oblačio u one haljinetine kao Saudijci", dodala je.

Joni je 2013. otišao u Siriju i kada se vratio majka ga je prijavila policiji jer više nije mogla živeti u napetosti da opet otputuje. Prepričava kako je telefon zvonio po celu noći i da su ga maltretirali da se vrati u Siriju i da od policije nije bilo koristi.

Ništa nisu učinili, prenosi novinar njenu priču koja završava novim odlaskom njenog sina u Siriju početkom 2014., gde je poginuo nekoliko meseci kasnije.

I ako su možda zagovarali fundamentalističku interpretaciju islama, dodaje novinar, njihov prvotni poriv je bio borba protiv Asada i zaustavljanje njegova zločinačkog režima, ali većina je ipak gravitirala prema ID, a ne umerenoj opoziciji.

Predsjdnik sportske dvorane i teretane BBA u Molenbeku Mohamed Malem koji pokušava mladima uliti samopoštovanje tvrdi da se treća ili četvrta generacija imigranata bori sa svojim identitetom.

"Kada odu u Maroku kažu da su Belgijanci. Ovde se izjašnjavaju kao Marokanci. Nigde se ne osećaju kod kuće i tako stalno pokušavaju da odgonrtnu ko su oni u stvari", kazao je Malem.

Jedan od trenera je uveren da je glavni uzrok radikalizacije "osećaj, bez obzira je li to tako ili nije, da nemaju budućnost".

"Radikalizacija ne počinje s verskim idealom. Momci za koje znam da su otišli u Siriju nemaju nikakvu ideologiju, nemaju nikakve velike ideje, odlaze jer žele s nečim raskrstiti. Naprosto im je dosta ovog društva", dao je svoje viđenje instruktor zaposlen u BBA.

Nikolas Moro, kog je francuska policija uhapsila 2015., nakon što je 2014. proveo u Siriji kao džihadistički borac odao je mnoge vredne informacije. I on je, poput većine regruta ID, bio sitni kriminalac koji se u zatvoru preobratio na islam. Prema njegovom iskazu, de ID za spoljne operacije poznat kao AMNI (sigurnost) obučene borce šalje nazad u Evropu kako bi u svojim zemljama sejali smrt i uništenje,

"Svako za izvršenje napada dobije 50.000 evra", kazao je Moro francuskoj bezbednosnoj službi DGSI.

Upravo on je otkrio da je 'kunya' - ratno ime osobe zadužene za AMNI Abu Omar iz Brisela čije je pravo ime Abdelhamid Abaud, planer pokolja u Parizu.

Alen Vinats, bivši čelnik belgijskog MI5 upozorava da će se "Zapad u nadolazećim godinama morati naviknuti da žive s pretnjom terorizma". Napadi u Briselu dokaz su da je mreža ID još uvek snažna i niko ne zna kada i gde će udariti sledeći put.

"To je mora koja će obaveštajen agencije držati budne i tokom noći", zaključuje BBC.

ovo sam recimo zapazio: - a smeta im što je devojkama zabranjen hidžab na mnogim radnim mestima.
Arapska kultura jednostavno nije komplementarna sa drugim kulturama, previše je primitivna iako to nije politički korektno reći. Kao posledica netolerancije i zatucanosti dolazi do konflikta sa većinskim okruženjem koje je drugačije i javlja se pojava zvana terorizam. Zapadnjaci su se ipak žestoko zeznuli što su primali ovakve ne uzimajući u obzir različitu kulturu kojoj pripadaju. Bolje da su uvezli 5 miliona ljudi sa Balkana ili iz Sibira.

[Dybuk]

Da, i ja sam zapazila i zasmetalo mi je. Potpuno sam za zabranu nosenja hidzaba jer to em nije sekularno em se ne uklapa u kulturoloske norme tj nekakav dres kod koji treba da vazi u institucijama poput drzavnih, skola, firmi.

Jos nesto sam zapazila, ili u samoj muslimanskoj zajednici ne postoji volja da se terorizam pojedinaca osudi iznutra, i sa policijom saradjuje ili tu policiju jednostavno nije briga za njihove 'unutrasnje stvari' koje, kako vidimo, ukljucuju organizovani kriminal. Mozda oboje. U svakom slucaju verujem da tu ima dosta ambivalencije.

[ALEKSIJE D.]

Ceo život si proveo sa bulama, nikad nšta sem očiju nisi im video, a najedared, oko tebe dekoltei, minići! Pa sve to na izvolte, što ono kažu. Kako ljudi da odole? Nije ni čudo da se ponašaju kao deca u poslastičarnici kada Šipac prodavac okrene glavi od tegle sa bonbonama. Posle se ti zapadnjaci kao nešto ljute, a žene i ćerke im pokazuju guzicu na sve strane i prosto zazivaju da im ga neki ušteka.
Tako to meni izgleda...
Rešenje?
Neka sve žene po Nemačkoj, Belgiji, Francuskoj nabave feredže i zabule se i neće biti problema.

Nova eksplozija u Briselu, policijska akcija u toku

Brisel -- U briselskom kvartu Šarbek odjeknula je eksplozija, javila je agencija Belga. U tom delu grada je u toku antiteroristička policijska akcija.

Na mestu eksplozije je veliki broj pripadnika specijalne policije, oklopnih vozila i vojnih kamiona.

"Libr belžik" javlja da je jedna osoba u toj operaciji "neutralisana". Kvart je blokiran.

Za sada nema drugih detalja.

[Meho Krljic]

Izgleda da je zapravo eksplozija posledica policijske akcije jer ovde javljaju da je tu u stvari počeo "police raid" da hapse teroriste vezane i za Francusku i za Belžik, pa onda krenulo da puca.

Meho, zamolio bih te da sa pažnjom pročitaš ovaj tekst: http://www.kurir.rs/planeta/evropa-sokirana-clankom-holandskog-novinara-evropski-muslimani-jednostavno-mrze-zapad-clanak-2196005

[Dybuk]

That's a shocker!

Ne gledaj dalje od CG i Bosne gde muslimani, recimo, smatraju Tursku svojom maticom.

[Meho Krljic]

Heh, pa taj tekst samo potvrđuje ono što smo gore već rekli. Dakle, globalizacija i trideset+ godina liberalizacije ekonomije ti sada omogućavaju da na niskokvalifikovane i slabo plaćene poslove dovodiš ljude od izvan Evrope koji će prihvatiti da rade pod gorim uslovima nego domicilna radna snaga jer računaju da je to bolje nego da sede pod bombama i u apsolutnom siromašrtvu kod kuće. Everybody wins, osim što ti ljudi onda dovedu i porodice pa se naprave geta gde je nezaposlenost mnogo viša  a perspektiva mnogo niža nego u okruženju tog geta. Efektivno, napravio si mali Maroko i mali Avganistan u Belgiji, Hojlandriji i Francuskoj i njihovi stanovnici, istina, žive bolje nego u velikom Maroku ili Afganistanu ali žive osetno lošije od ljudi za koje rade a koji sami žive sve bolje od plodova, između ostalog njihovog rada. Da li je stvarno onda čudno kada se ljudi bune da im je loše? Jer ako se neko tome čudi taj je ne samo rasista nego i budala. Evo, ti njima kažeš "Ali tvoj deda je u Afganistanu sedeo pod bombama i nikad nije video lekara, a ti ovde, istina je, živiš mnogo gore nego prosečni Belgijanac ali  primaš socijalnu pomoć i možeš da se školuješ, PA ŠTA SE KOJMOJ BUNIŠ?!?!?!", to je kao da si tamo negde u prve dve decenije XX veka radničkim sindikatima koji su se borili za manje letalne uslove rada i nadnice koje će da obezbede preživljavanje umesto odumiranja rekao "Ali tvoj deda je spavao u štali, jeo kad mu daju, radio sve što mu se kaže a nije očekivao platu nego je bio srećan kada ga na kraju dana još i ne išibaju, ti imaš dvanaestočasovno radno vreme u uslovima opasnim po život i zdravlje i još te na kraju platimo PA ŠTA SE KOJMOJ BUNIŠ?!?!?!". Dakle, ti stvari stavljaš u neku besmislenu apsolutnu perspektivu iako su društvene protivrečnosti uvek i svuda vezane za ovde i sada, dakle za neposredno okruženje i relativne klasne razlike. To što sad uz klasnu dimenziju imaš i rasnu stvari usložnjava ali je mehanizam identičan onom koji je Marks (ha!!) opisivao.


Mislim, evo iz komunističkog manifesta:

Gde god je došla na vlast, buržoazija je razorila sve feudalne, patrijarhalne i idilične odnose. Ona je nemilosrdno pokidala šarolike feudalne veze koje su čoveka vezivale za njegovog prirodnog pretpostavljenog, i nije ostavila između čoveka i čoveka nikakvu drugu vezu osim golog interesa, osim bezdušnog "plaćanja u gotovom". Ona je u ledenoj vodi sebičnog računa utopila svete drhtaje pobožnog zanosa, viteškog oduševljenja, malograđanske sentimentalnosti. Ona je lično dostojanstvo pretvorila u prometnu vrednost i na mesto bezbrojnih poveljama priznatih i izvojevanih sloboda stavila jednu besavesnu slobodu trgovine. Ona je, jednom reči, na mesto eksploatacije prikrivene verskim i političkim iluzijama stavila otvorenu, besramnu, direktnu, surovu eksploataciju.


(...)

Buržoazija je eksploatacijom svetskog tržišta dala kosmopolitski karakter proizvodnji i potrošnji svih zemalja. Na veliku žalost reakcionara, ona je izvukla nacionalno tlo ispod nogu industrije. Uništene su prastare nacionalne industrije i uništavaju se svakodnevno još uvek. Potiskuju ih nove industrije, čije uvođenje postaje životno pitanje za sve civilizovane nacije, industrije koje više ne prerađuju domaće sirovine, već sirovine koje dolaze iz najudaljenijih oblasti, i čiji se fabrikati ne troše samo u zemlji već u isto vreme u svima delovima sveta. Na mesto starih potreba, zadovoljavanih domaćim proizvodima, stupaju nove koje za svoje zadovoljenje traže proizvode najdaljih zemalja i klima. Na mesto stare lokalne i nacionalne samodovoljnosti i ograđenosti stupa svestrani saobraćaj, svestrana uzajamna zavisnost nacija. A kako je u materijalnoj, tako je i u duhovnoj proizvodnji. Duhovni proizvodi pojedinih nacija postaju opštim dobrom. Nacionalna jednostranost i ograničenost postaje sve više nemoguća, a iz mnogih nacionalnih i lokalnih književnosti stvara se svetska književnost.
Brzim poboljšanjem svih oruđa za proizvodnju, beskrajno olakšanim saobraćajem, buržoazija uvlači u civilizaciju sve, pa i najvarvarskije nacije. Jevtine cene njenih roba jesu teška artiljerija kojom ona ruši sve kineske zidove, kojom ona i najuporniju mržnju varvara protiv stranaca prisiljava na kapitulaciju. Ona prisiljava sve nacije da prihvate buržoaski način proizvodnje, ako neće da propadnu; ona ih prisiljava da same kod sebe uvedu takozvanu civilizaciju, tj. da postanu buržuji. Jednom reči, ona stvara svoj svet po sopstvenom liku.
Buržoazija sve više i više savlađuje rasparčanost sredstava za proizvodnju, poseda i stanovništva. Ona je nagomilala stanovništvo, centralizovala sredstva za proizvodnju i koncentrisala svojinu u malo ruku. Nužna posledica toga bila je politička centralizacija. Nezavisne, gotovo samo savezom povezane provincije s različitim interesima, zakonima, vladama i carinama sabijene su u jednu naciju, jednu vladu, jedan zakon, jedan nacionalni klasni interes, jednu carinsku granicu.


(...)


Buržoaski odnosi proizvodnje i prometa, buržoaski odnosi svojine, moderno buržoasko društvo, koje je volšebnički izazvalo tako silna sredstva za proizvodnju i promet liči na čarobnjaka koji više ne može da savlada podzemne sile koje je dozvao. Decenijama je istorija industrije i trgovine samo istorija pobune modernih proizvodnih snaga protiv modernih odnosa proizvodnje, protiv odnosa svojine koji su životni uslovi buržoazije i njene vladavine. Dovoljno je navesti trgovinske krize, koje svojim periodičnim ponavljanjem sve opasnije ugrožavaju opstanak čitavog buržoaskog društva. U trgovinskim krizama redovno se uništava veliki deo ne samo izrađenih proizvoda nego i već stvorenih proizvodnih snaga. U krizama izbija društvena epidemija koja bi svima ranijim epohama izgledala kao besmislica - epidemija hiperprodukcije. Društvo se najednom nalazi bačeno natrag u stanje trenutnog varvarstva; reklo bi se da su mu glad i opšti rat do uništenja presekli sve izvore sredstava za život; industrija, trgovina izgledaju uništene, a zašto? Zato što društvo ima suviše civilizacije, suviše životnih sredstava, suviše industrije, suviše trgovine. Proizvodne snage koje mu stoje na raspolaganju ne služe više za unapređivanje buržoaske civilizacije i buržoaskih odnosa svojine; naprotiv, one su postale odviše silne za te odnose, one su njima zakočene; a čim savladaju tu zakočenost, dovode čitavo buržoasko društvo u nered, ugrožavaju opstanak buržoaske svojine. Buržoaski odnosi postali su preuski da bi obuhvatili bogatstvo koje su stvorili. - Čime buržoazija savlađuje krize? S jedne strane, prisilnim uništavanjem mase proizvodnih snaga; s druge, osvajanjem novih tržišta i temeljitijom eksploatacijom starih tržišta. Dakle, čime? Time što priprema svestranije i silnije krize, a smanjuje sredstva za sprečavanje kriza.

Nije loše podsetiti se i ovog Engelsovog uvoda, čisto da se vidi da se za 120 godina logika određivanja vrednosti rada nijemnogo promenila.

Ono što zapravo treba da mu kažeš, ti možda živiš gore od prosečnog Belgijanca, ali vidi, ako se zvezde poklope, tvoje dete može biti CEO.

[Meho Krljic]

Osim što je ogroman deo identiteta milenijals generacije na zapadu - posebno u Americi ali i u Evropi - spoznaja da su oni prva generacija koja će po kvalitetu života živeti gore od svojih roditelja. To verovatno neće sjajno da se odrazi ni na migrante i njihovo potomostvo koje će, da budemo iskreni, verovatno živeti bolje nego njhovi dedovi ili očevi (tj. bake i majke) ali će živeti lošije od onog kako žive njihovi vršnjaci u okruženju.
