Gaudet Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Germany offers asylum seekers up to €1,200 each to voluntarily return to their home countries Government budgets €40m for programme amid huge backlog in asylum claims The German government has budgeted more than €40 million (£35 million) to pay asylum seekers to voluntarily return to their home countries. Migrants will be offered financial incentives of up to €1,200 (£1,000) each to leave Germany and withdraw their application for protection, with a lower amount of €800 (£700) if they choose to depart after being refused asylum. The German interior ministry is running the “StarthilfePlus” programme with the UN’s International Organisation of Migration (IOM), mirroring similar initiatives run in other European countries since the start of the refugee crisis. It is open to “destitute” citizens of some of the world’s top refugee producing countries, including Syria, Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq and Nigeria, while Russians, Turks, Ukrainians and other nationalities will be excluded from support after the programme’s “transitional stage”. In order to receive the money, returnees must sign a formal declaration to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) pledging to withdraw the asylum application and the legal remedies already applied and refrain from any further appeals. Thomas de Maizière, the German interior minister, said StarthilfePlus was intended for those with “very poor chances of success” under the country’s asylum laws. “I appeal to understanding and reason: For all those who have no prospect of staying in Germany, voluntarily departure represents a better way than deportation,“ he added. “If the possibility of a voluntary return is not used, only the instrument of deportation remains. Only with the consistent application of the law can the functionality of our asylum system be ensured.” The IOM said the funding, including extra “family assistance” grants, is paid out in two stages – one half in Germany before departure and the remainder within eight months of their proven arrival in the country of origin. Children under 12 receive half the adult amount. The programme was launched as civil servants continue to battle a backlog of around 400,000 asylum claims created by the unprecedented number of refugees who arrived in Germany in 2015. The number of new applications plummeted by more than 600,000 last year, standing at less than a third of those at the height of the crisis, when Angela Merkel opened Germany’s borders to Syrian refugees amid a series of boat disasters in the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. Her policy sparked the arrival of more than a million asylum seekers in Germany, many of whom are still housed in temporary accommodation while awaiting a government decision. Anti-immigration and far-right groups have criticised the decision, blaming the Chancellor for a series of Isis-inspired terror attacks carried out by migrants in Germany last year, including the Berlin Christmas market massacre. A man linked to the dead suspect was extradited to Tunisia on Wednesday, following outrage over revelations the Berlin attacker and a known Isis recruiter were not deported to the country because of delays with paperwork. Germany is the latest European country to boost “voluntary return” programmes amid growing anti-immigration sentiment across the continent. Denmark’s initiative, also run with the IOM, caused 532 asylum seekers to voluntarily leave the country last year - a record number. Many cited long waiting times in Danish asylum centres, ill family members in their home countries and false expectations as the primary reasons for leaving. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/germany-offer-asylum-seekers-1200-euros-voluntarily-return-home-countries-refugees-crisis-merkel-a7561701.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudet Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Norway accuses group linked to Russia of carrying out cyber-attack Norwegian intelligence service PST among targets of malicious emails believed to have been sent by APT 29 Norway’s foreign ministry, army and other institutions have been targeted in a cyber-attack by a group suspected of having links to Russian authorities, according to Norwegian intelligence, which was one of the targets. Known as APT 29, the group singled out by Oslo has already been accused of hacking interference in the US presidential election. “Nine different email accounts were targeted in an attempt at what is called spear phishing, in other words, malicious emails,” Arne Christian Haugstoyl, an official with Norway’s intelligence service, PST, told television channel TV2. He said it was difficult to know the goal of the operation, to which Norway was alerted by an allied country, but he described APT 29 as a group “with links to the Russian authorities”. The PST spokesman Martin Bernsen said there was “no reason to believe that classified information had been obtained in connection with the attack”, according to the daily newspaper Verdens Gang (VG). In addition to the PST, the foreign ministry and the army, the attack targeted the radiation protection agency, a school and the parliamentary group of the Labour party, the traditionally dominant party in Norway which is currently in opposition. Legislative elections are scheduled for 11 September, although no link has been made to the vote. Norway, a Nato member, and neighbouring Russia normally enjoy good relations but these have grown more tense since the Ukraine crisis. It summoned the Russian ambassador on Wednesday to lodge a protest after Moscow refused visas to two senior parliamentarians in a move Oslo denounced as “unjustifiable”. Russia said the refusal was a reaction to Norway’s participation in EU economic sanctions against it over the Ukraine crisis. Moscow was also angered by the recent deployment of about 300 US soldiers on Norwegian soil. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/feb/03/norway-accuses-group-linked-to-russia-of-carrying-out-cyber-attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 29-year-old was shot and wounded by police after he launched an attack on a soldier who was guarding the entrance to the Carrousel du Louvre shopping centre. The four-man police patrol has told him he could not enter with his bags. Michel Cadot, the head of Paris police, said the man was shouting "Allahu Akbar" and injured the soldier's scalp before being shot at He confirmed that the attack was being treated as a terrorist incident but they were still trying to determine whether he was acting alone or under instruction. Al-Hamamy is said to be in a life-threatening condition in hospital following the incident at 10am local time (9am GMT). He said: “We are dealing with an attack from an individual who was clearly aggressive and represented a direct threat, and whose comments lead us to believe that he wished to carry out a terrorist incident. “There was also a second individual who was behaving suspiciously, who has also been detained, but for now there does not appear to be a link between that individual and the attack." In a press conference on Friday evening, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said the man was an Egyptian national who had entered the country on a one-month tourist visa issued in Dubai on 26 January. This was later confirmed by the Egyptian Ministry of the Interior in Cairo. Put EGYPT on the list....NOW. Bunch of terrorists! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pud Whacker Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 By Ingrid Melander LYON, France (Reuters) - French far-right leader Marine Le Pen kicked off her presidential campaign on Saturday with a promise to shield voters from globalization and make their country "free", hoping to profit from political turmoil to score a Donald Trump-style upset. Opinion polls see the 48-year old daughter of National Front (FN) founder Jean-Marie Le Pen topping the first round on April 23 but then losing the May 7 run-off to a mainstream candidate. But in the most unpredictable election race France has known in decades, the FN hopes the scandal hitting conservative candidate Francois Fillon and the rise of populism across the West will help convince voters to back Le Pen. "We were told Donald Trump would never win in the United States against the media, against the establishment, but he won... We were told Marine Le Pen would not win the presidential election, but on May 7 she will win!" Jean-Lin Lacapelle, a top FN official, told several hundred party officials and members. In 144 "commitments" published at the start of a two-day rally in Lyon, Le Pen proposes leaving the euro zone, holding a referendum on EU membership, slapping taxes on imports and on the job contracts of foreigners, lowering the retirement age and increasing several welfare benefits while lowering income tax. The manifesto also foresees reserving certain rights now available to all residents, including free education, to French citizens only, hiring 15,000 police, curbing migration and leaving NATO's integrated command. "The aim of this programme is first of all to give France its freedom back and give the people a voice," Le Pen said in the introduction to the manifesto. Emmanuel Macron, a pro-European centrist candidate who polls say is likely to face Le Pen in the presidential election run-off, will also hold a rally in Lyon on Saturday to propose a radically different platform. Opinion polls suggest Macron would easily beat Le Pen in the second round, but faith in pollsters has been shaken after they failed to predict Trump's election win or Britain's vote last June to leave the European Union. Former frontrunner Fillon has been damaged by allegations, which he denies, that he paid his wife hundreds of thousands of euros of public money for work she may not actually have done. A poll on Saturday showed the conservative slipping to third place in round one. The FN officials taking to the stage targeted Macron more than any other of Le Pen's opponents, presenting the former investment banker as the candidate of "international capitalism." The crowd booed his name every time. "This presidential election puts two opposite proposals," Le Pen said in her manifesto. "The 'globalist' choice backed by all my opponents ... and the 'patriotic' choice which I personify." EU OVERHAUL PLEDGE If elected, Le Pen says she would immediately seek an overhaul of the European Union that would reduce it to a very loose cooperative of nations with no single currency and no border-free area. If, as is likely, France's EU partners refuse to agree to this, she would call a referendum to leave the bloc. The electoral manifesto is short on macro-economic details and does not give any public deficit or debt targets. Nor does not explain how a Le Pen government would balance raising welfare benefits with cutting taxes. The programme is far less detailed than her 2012 platform and has softened the presentation of a number of controversial issues, with the FN trying to find the right balance between reassuring voters and keeping its anti-establishment image. For instance, instead of devoting a whole chapter to "the orderly demolition of the euro" as the 2012 manifesto did, the 2017 one only briefly mentions regaining France's "monetary sovereignty." Opinion polls showing a majority of voters, especially the elderly, want to stay in the euro. Immigration remains the party's signature theme. When Franck de Lapersonne, an actor and FN supporter, told the rally that 19th century writer Victor Hugo "did not learn Arabic at school and that makes me happy," he received the loudest ovation of the day, with the crowd chanting the party's trademark slogan "On est chez nous" ("This is our country!") Le Pen and her party are facing their own scandals, including one over assistants in the European Parliament and investigations over her 2012 campaign financing. But that leaves grass-roots supporters undeterred. "We're fighting to win the 2017 election," said Victor Birra, the regional head of the FN youth association.

I think it is a currency that is not only in demise, but has a real problem and could in fact collapse in the coming year or year and a half.” It nothing else, Trump is sure to provide fodder for media discussion for four full years. That aside, it is refreshing to hear such discussions. The breakup of the Eurozone or EU is a very distinct possibility.

Gaudet Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hack the election France fears that Russia is trying to push Marine Le Pen to victory France’s top intelligence agency fears that Russia is trying to sway the upcoming presidential elections in favor of far-right candidate Marine Le Pen. On Wednesday, the satirical weekly newspaper Le Canard Enchaîné reported that France’s Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE) believes a disinformation campaign coordinated by the Kremlin threatens to undermine April’s election. The report suggests Russia will seek to help Le Pen’s chances by using bots to post millions of positive messages about the National Front candidate online. The agency also believes Russia may seek to upend Le Pen’s opponents by publishing their confidential emails. The allegations are being taken seriously, so much so that Le Canard claims the next defense meeting at the Élysée Palace will address this subject specifically. Neither the DGSE nor the Kremlin responded to a request from VICE News for comment on the allegations. A poll published Thursday shows that Le Pen would win the first round of voting in April’s election but ultimately lose out to centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron in the final runoff. Republican candidate Francois Fillon – the favorite just weeks ago – languishes in third as a result of ongoing corruption allegations. Haven’t we heard all this before? Ever since U.S. intelligence agencies pointed the finger at the Kremlin for hacking into the DNC servers and successfully disrupting November’s presidential election, there have been allegations that President Vladimir Putin’s cyber army would turn its attention to elections taking place across Europe in 2017. The Democrats believe Russia to be in league with WikiLeaks – which published leaked DNC emails as well as emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair John Podesta. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has repeatedly denied the information came from Russia. WikiLeaks has already highlighted documents in its archives related to Le Pen and Fillon. Last week Assange told a Russian newspaper that he had uncovered new information about Macron in the cache of Hillary Clinton emails — though he refused to detail the contents of the emails. How would the campaign work? According to Ben Nimmo, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, any Russian campaign would have three elements: The first part would see bots deployed to post messages across the internet to raise the profile of the far-right candidate and damage her opponents. Russian hackers would compromise the accounts of the candidates and publish any damaging information either on WikiLeaks or by sending it anonymously to media organizations. The third section of the campaign sees the Kremlin-run news agency Sputnik, which launched a French-language version of its website in 2015, running articles flattering Le Pen and criticizing her opponents. The agency denies it is seeking to impact the election outcome, and does on occasion publish balanced stories, but this is simply “an attempt at plausible deniability,” Nimmo told VICE News. Could it swing the election in Le Pen’s favor? “Most of these attempts are likely to be of marginal impact, but what they do is give extra amplification to Le Pen,” Nimmo said. “In a tight race, that could be significant.” As we saw with Trump’s victory and the Brexit campaign, anything that nudges the vote by even a couple percentage points can have a major effect on the outcome. The overall impact may come down to whether the candidates have sufficient incriminating information in their emails to sway public opinion one way or the other. Does Le Pen have ties to Russia? Le Pen has a long history of supporting Russian positions on international matters. She was very critical of sanctions imposed by the international community against Russia after it annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. According to some reports from Russia, Le Pen has promised to recognize the annexation if she is elected president. Le Pen’s party has been open about an $11.7 million loan it received from a Russian bank in 2014 to fund various campaigns. The loan was granted after the party was refused help by a dozen French and European banks. At the same time, former National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen— Marine Le Pen’s father — was given a separate $2.5 million loan from a holding company run by a former KGB agent. In December it was revealed that Le Pen requested a $30 million loan to fund her presidential campaign from a bank with close ties to Putin. U.S. Congressman Mike Turner called on the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, to look into Le Pen’s Russian links. Can France do anything to combat this? Nimmo says that the best deterrent to any spread of false information is public awareness. “The most important player in this is civil society, not the government. French media and civil society are very much aware of the problem and are looking at ways to counter it, and the most important thing is awareness. The more people realize that they have to think twice before they believe or share questionable news sources, the harder it’ll be for the disinformation to spread.” https://news.vice.com/story/france-fears-that-russia-is-trying-to-push-marine-le-pen-to-victory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudet Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 French candidate Marine Le Pen: Jews will have to leave if they don’t give up Israeli citizenship Jewish people living in France who are also Israel citizens may have to give up their Israeli citizenship if a far-right wing French presidential candidate is elected. Marine Le Pen said she wouldn’t allow French citizens to maintain their citizenship in any country that was not part of the European Union, Haaretz reported Thursday. "Israel isn't a member of the European Union, and doesn't consider itself as such," Le Pen told France 2 TV after she was asked specifically if her plan also applied to France’s Jewish community. “I’m asking the Israelis to choose their nationality. It doesn’t mean that if they don’t choose French nationality, they have to leave,” Le Pen said. Neither U.S. citizens nor those from North African countries would be exempt from her ban, Le Pen added. However, Russian citizens would be allowed to keep their dual-citizenship because it “has a place” in what she termed a “Europe of nations” that are “free and sovereign,” the Jerusalem Post reported Thursday. http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/french-candidate-marine-le-pen-jews-will-have-to-leave-if-they-dont-give-up-israeli-citizenship/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people haven't realzised that capitalism is dead so the old idea that we were born to make money is not working anymore and that created these precarious times where some people simply refused to move on and still want to live in the past. Historically speaking any big transition has been pretty much resolved with big wars and conflicts but we can rise above and do it the right way this time. Yes there's still hope we can make it without a big war. People have just to believe more in unity and peace rather than division and conflicts.
