MESOP NEWS TODAYS COMMENTARY : Iran’s Hezbollah Franchise in Iraq – Lessons from Lebanon’s Shiite Militias
10 Nov 2016 – FIKRA FORUM – Yousif Kalian – Also available in العربية – Hezbollah provides a potential model for Shiite militias in Iraq as they attempt to transform into political organizations.
Following the rapid spread of ISIS in the summer of 2014, Shiite Marja’ Ali al-Sistani issued a fatwa calling all able-bodied men to defend Baghdad and push back against ISIS. Men of all sects and ethnicities, overwhelmingly Shiite, took it upon themselves to fight this “great evil” that had overtaken their country. These Popular Mobilization Units (PMUs) have made a fundamental difference in the battle against ISIS and are hailed as heroes in Iraq. Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=79960

Brussels, 9 November 2016 – European Commission – Fact Sheet
This year’s report on Turkey is issued in the specific context of a military coup attempt which occurred on the night of 15 July, leaving 241 casualties and 2 196 people wounded. The Turkish government with the support of the entire Turkish political spectrum and society, succeeded in overcoming the coup attempt. The EU strongly and immediately condemned the attempted coup, which represented a direct attack on democracy in Turkey as such, and reiterated its full support to the democratic institutions of the country.
On 20 July a state of emergency was declared across Turkey for three months, further extended for
another three months on 3 October. Significant legislative amendments were introduced by decree. Read full document http://www.mesop.de/?p=79948

PRESS RELEASE – Brussels, 09 November 2016 – EU has to freeze the accession talks with Ankara, say S&Ds Following today’s presentation of the enlargement package by the European Commission, S&D MEP and rapporteur on Turkey Kati Piri said: “The annual Turkey report of the European Commission reflects the dire situation and the serious backlash of the rule of law in the country. For the last three years, Turkey has been drifting away more and more from European values such as the respect for human rights and media freedom. While the heinous coup attempt on 15 July needs to be strongly condemned and its perpetrators brought to justice, we see that the state of emergency is being used to further suppress any critical voices left.

MESOP “THE HIT & RUN BLOG” –
Trump Won Because Leftist Political Correctness Inspired a Terrifying Backlash – What every liberal who didn’t see this coming needs to understand
Robby Soave|Nov. 9, 2016 8:01 am – • J. Conrad Williams Jr./TNS/NewscomMany will say Trump won because he successfully capitalized on blue collar workers’ anxieties about immigration and globalization. Others will say he won because America rejected a deeply unpopular alternative. Still others will say the country is simply racist to its core.
But there’s another major piece of the puzzle, and it would be a profound mistake to overlook it. Overlooking it was largely the problem, in the first place. – Trump won because of a cultural issue that flies under the radar and remains stubbornly difficult to define, but is nevertheless hugely important to a great number of Americans: political correctness.More specifically, Trump won because he convinced a great number of Americans that he would destroy political correctness.

MESOP WATCH : ISIS GLOBAL ATTACK NETWORK / YEAR 2016
By: Jessica Lewis McFate and Melissa Pavlik (ISW) – 10 Nov 2016 – Key Takeaway – ISIS has organized a number of external attacks worldwide in the past year, some of which have been thwarted. ISIS’s global network is still operating and is poised to continue conducting external attacks in late 2016. The U.S. must recognize that the campaign to recapture Mosul and Raqqa will not defeat ISIS. Rather, any military success in Iraq and Syria must be the first phase of a campaign to counter ISIS globally, whether through military or non-military means.

MESOP KOMMENTAR ad TRUMP : VON WEGEN „POST TRUTH ÄRA!“ – DAS UNERWÜNSCHTE LÄSST SICH NICHT WEGREDEN – DEN TEXTUELLEN SCHLÄGT DIE STUNDE DER REALITÄT
Jürgen Kaube (FAZ) sagt es, zusammen mit Judith Butler & Gumbrecht:
„Aber denjenigen, die glauben oder sich gern einreden lassen, zu ihrem Recht kämen sie ohnehin nicht, ist Ausdruck offenbar genug. Es sind also nicht die amerikanischen Wähler, über deren Dummheit oder Unbildung jetzt gesprochen werden müsste. Die Frage, die das Rätsel Trump stellt, ergeht vielmehr an jene, die jetzt ihr Erschrockensein ausstellen. Wie steht es um ihre Kenntnis der Zonen, aus denen jene Wähler kommen, wie um ihre euphemistische Einschätzung von Trumps Konkurrentin, wie um ihre historische Bildung und wie um ihren Glauben an Demoskopie?
Man denkt bei Amerika an New York und an das Silicon Valley, mehr an Princeton als an Trenton, lässt sich die Ungleichheit in Amerika gern von Thomas Piketty erklären, drückt David Graeber und Occupy die Daumen; aber kommt man nicht auf die Idee; dass die meisten Wähler keine Studenten sind und, anders als Studenten, von der Globalisierung gar nicht profitieren? Man findet, dass alle Leute die Gesellschaft eigentlich super finden sollten, weil es einem selbst gutgeht. Wenn die Leute wütend sind, hält man ihnen Vorträge über Vielfalt oder verweist sie an eine Linke, die es nicht gibt. Und glaubt, dass schon nichts passieren wird.
Wie gebildet ist das eigentlich?
