The Real Muellergate ScandalRobert Mueller is either a fool, or deeply corrupt. I do not think he is a fool.
I did not comment instantly on the Mueller Report as I was so shocked by it, I have been waiting to see if any other facts come to light in justification. Nothing has. I limit myself here to that area of which I have personal knowledge – the leak of DNC and Podesta emails to Wikileaks. On the wider question of the corrupt Russian 1% having business dealings with the corrupt Western 1%, all I have to say is that if you believe that is limited in the USA by party political boundaries, you are a fool.

The Propaganda Multiplier: How Global News Agencies and Western Media Report on Geopolitics“How does the newspaper know what it knows?” The answer to this question is likely to surprise some newspaper readers: “The main source of information is stories from news agencies. The almost anonymously operating news agencies are in a way the key to world events. So what are the names of these agencies, how do they work and who finances them? To judge how well one is informed about events in East and West, one should know the answers to these questions.”

Dutch domestic intelligence agency - Radical influences in education...
Radical influences in education
The AIVD observes that radical Islamist inciters manage to create a very strong representation for themselves within the educational opportunities available to young Muslims. Examples are afterschool classes in Arabic and Islam. Such school programmes are attractive also to students from more moderate backgrounds, as there are often very few or no alternatives for after-school Islamic education.
At first glance, such educational initiatives may appear fairly low-key and innocent. We believe, however, that such educational approaches can lead to children and young people becoming estranged from society or inhibited from participating in it, as a result of the intolerant and antidemocratic views represented by those who organize such initiatives. In the long run this could cause social cohesion to unravel, which would undermine our democratic legal order.
In the past, only a few established mosques and institutes were responsible for spreading such views, but today a much broader choice is on offer. A new generation of eloquent preachers has been schooled and begun to develop initiatives to spread their message. Also online we see that the target audience is within easy reach. Our investigation has revealed how some individuals have a dangerous influence in that they do not directly condemn the (violent) jihadist ideology. This could create a breeding ground for jihadism.

STATEMENT ON THE INDICTMENT OF ALLEGED DRONE STRIKE WHISTLEBLOWER - THE INTERCEPT does not comment on matters relating to the identity of anonymous sources.
In an indictment unsealed on May 9, the government alleges that documents on the U.S. drone program were leaked to a news organization. These documents detailed a secret, unaccountable process for targeting and killing people around the world, including U.S. citizens, through drone strikes. They are of vital public importance, and activity related to their disclosure is protected by the First Amendment. The alleged whistleblower faces up to 50 years in prison. No one has ever been held accountable for killing civilians in drone strikes.

Right-wing extremism in Ukraine - groupings and their activities at a glance...
The most powerful right-wing extremist group in Ukraine. The most important organizations within the movement are
- the Azov Regiment of the Ukrainian National Guard (military wing),
- the National Corps Party (political wing),
- the national vigilante (paramilitary wing).
The movement has a total of 20,000 members, including 1,500 fighters of the well-trained and equipped Azov regiment including a tank company. The active members have a high degree of organization and combat experience.
...
Azov Regiment: The only far-right association officially forming part of the Ukrainian security authorities. After the regiment was launched in the spring of 2014, it moved to Mariupol, where it has since been stationed. The basis is provided by right-wing extremists from the Kharkiv social-national gathering (Social-Nazionalnaya Asambleja, abbreviated to SNA), a National Socialist group that represented the ideology of "racial social nationalism". In addition, the association has been receiving hooligans since its inception, especially from the clubs Dynamo Kyiv, Metalist Kharkiv and Shakhtar Donetsk.
At the head of the Association of Azov was the former chairman of SNA Andrij Bilezkyj nicknamed "White Leader", who has been a member of Parliament since 2014. Interior Minister Arsen Awakow played a key role in the establishment of Azov. On his initiative, the group was incorporated into the Ministry of the Interior Ministry and transformed into a National Guard regiment. The fighters received comprehensive military training from Ukrainian and foreign experts. They are well equipped and have modern weapons.
...
The party was launched during the Maidan protests and later registered with several thousand members in various regions of Ukraine. The organization also has its own paramilitary unit, the Ukrainian Volunteer Corps, which participated in the fighting but was not included in the Ukrainian armed forces. The right wing sector was in possession of a large amount of weapons at the front and regularly threatened the government, which he called the "internal occupation regime." Following an armed conflict between members of the Association and the police in the Transcarpathian region, as well as the liquidation of some armed militants close to the Right Sector and the departure of Dmytro Jarosch, Chairman of the Party, the rights sector is in crisis.

Right-wing extremism: Haldenwang (Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution/domestic intelligence agency (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz)) warns of new dynamicsThe President of the Federal Constitutional Protection, Thomas Haldenwang, has warned against a new momentum in right-wing extremism: "In any case, one can say that right-wing extremism is indeed experiencing a new dynamic, which I have been talking about for a few months now In Chemnitz, we experienced a lot of developments in one location, and I think of a very intensive network, of fake news and false propaganda, of massive street violence, to the point of becoming violent Developing groups of small terrorist groups - all this has been demonstrated by the example of Chemnitz. " The 58-year-old explained that the office was well on the way to achieving the goal of the planned personnel expansion. In doing so, he relies on scientific methods and employees to meet the new challenges. In addition to the usual image of right-wing extremism with Springer boots and parades, intellectual right-wing extremism is also increasingly spreading. "The citizen must be careful when classifying," warned Haldenwang. The activities of the right-wing extremists took place largely in the network, especially in the hidden part of the Internet. These included propaganda and communication. The legislator must create the conditions for monitoring these areas. "We do not want more, but we want to arrive in modern times," said Haldenwang.

note:
But the accusation of the takeover of Germany by right-wing extremist can be put in the realm of myths and legends. The right-wing extremist violence decreased from 1,600 incidents in 2016 to 1,054 in 2017. Of them 774 had a xenophobic background and 98 were directed against left-wing extremists or alleged left-wing extremists. The number of extremists with right-wing potential increased from 24,350 in 2016 to 25,250 in 2017. [S.24] [S.26] [S.27] [S.102]
By contrast left-wing extremist violence increased from 1,201 incidents in 2016 to 1,648 in 2017. Of them 264 were directed against right-wing extremists or alleged right-wing extremists and 1,135 were directed against police or security agencies. By contrast the number of extremists with right-wing potential increased from 29,400 in 2016 to 30,400 in 2017. Even without an increase in left-wing extremist violence they would have overtaken the right-wing extremist violence. [S.31] [S.33] [S.34] [S.49]

ECJ (European Court of Justice) strengthens refugee protection according to the Geneva ConventionThe European Court of Justice (ECJ) has strengthened the status of refugees. A denial or refusal of refugee rights in an EU state does not mean that a person with justified fear of persecution in their home country also loses the status as a refugee or the rights under the Geneva Convention, the EU court ruled today.
Three asylum seekers from Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Chechnya had sued in the Czech Republic and Belgium, respectively (C-391/16, C-77/17 and C-78/17). They were denied or denied refugee status on the grounds that they had been convicted of a particularly serious crime committed in these EU countries.

The credibility of claiming a shortage of skilled employers is inversely proportional to unemployment and the rise in wage levels. In certain fields it can happen that the demand for employees can not cover the supply of jobs. In such a case in a functioning market either the equilibrium price in the form of the wage level would increase. However wages are currently stagnating in much of Europe and the industrialized world. If one is unwilling to pay a reasonable price for a good or service then one can not complain about a shortage at this price. Or employers would resort to training young workers or retraining other workers with a different education.
