U Japanu danas su bili izbori za polovinu mesta u gornjem domu skupštine. Deo poslanika birao se većinskim, a deo proporcionalnim sistemom. Postojao je dogovor 4 opozicione stranke da za mesta po većinskom sistemu predlože samo po 1 zajedničkog kandidata.

 

Uprkos tome, Abeov LDP je po prvim projekcijama blizu da ostvari cilj da i tu uz manje stranke dobije dvotrećinsku većinu za promenu ustava koju već ima u donjem domu, a u svakom slučaju zadržava običnu većinu sa tradicionalnim koalicionim partnerom - strankom Komeito.

 

Većina je zapravo 122, 121 je tačno polovina poslanika, ima ih paran broj. Sive boje su mesta koja mogu da odu i vlasti i opoziciji, a svetlije ona za koja se nije glasalo na ovim izborima.

 

Glavna opoziciona Demokratska stranka imaće osetno lošiji rezultat nego prošli put. Kad se saberu trenutno projektovana mesta, dobije se da ih fali 29 u odnosu na prošle izbore.

 

Po ovom grafiku fali im 14 mesta od tih 29 koje su još up for grabs da bi imali dvotrećinsku većinu sa još nekim opozicionim strančicama.

Dvotrećinska većina u oba doma za promenu japanskog ustava je bitna zato što je Abe u februaru najavljivao ukidanje "zastarelog" pacifističkog člana 9 nametnutog od Saveznika posle II svetskog rata, što se mnogima u komšiluku, a ni u samom Japanu nije svidelo.

 

In February, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called on the National Diet to amend Article 9 of Japan’s constitution, which renounces war as a means of settling disputes. Drafted by the United States after World War II, the constitution contains “some parts [that] do not fit into the current period,” Abe said. He is particularly concerned with the constitutional provision that prohibits Japan from maintaining “land, sea, and air forces,” arguing that it seems to be in direct contradiction with the existence of the country’s Self-Defense Forces.

At a glance, Abe’s proposal seems deeply unpopular. According to one poll, some 50.3 percent of the Japanese public object to amending Article 9. Only 37.5 percent of those polled favor such an action. The good news for Abe, however, is that opposition to his efforts, though broad, does not seem to run deep. Voters, it seems, are less concerned about the direction Abe is taking the country than they are about his decision to make the issue a top priority.

Revising the constitution would provide stronger legal grounding for Abe’s controversial defense measures. Introduced last year, the new legislative provisions lift restrictions on deploying Japanese forces overseas and expand the definition of self-defense to include aiding an ally. These, too, are unpopular—at least superficially. Some 51 percent of Japanese voters disapprove of the measures, compared to 30 percent who support them. And yet only 38 percent say they would like to see Abe reverse course and repeal the legislation.

To be sure, many in Japan are concerned about the implications of Abe’s agenda, feeling that it runs counter to the country’s national security and proper international stance. They worry that Abe’s defense moves will make it more likely that Japan will be dragged into war, putting an end to its postwar pacifism.

Another avenue of criticism regards worries that Japan’s new defense doctrine will worsen its relationships with its neighbors. Several countries have indeed already expressed concerns. China’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Hong Lei, stated that Japan’s new approach was “out of step with the trend of the times featuring peace, development, and cooperation.” His counterpart at South Korea’s foreign ministry commented that his country would “never tolerate” Japan’s exercise of the right to collective self-defense on the Korean peninsula “without the [Republic of Korea’s] request or consent.” And North Korean state media reported that Abe’s reforms were intended to “pave the way for invading other countries.”

IF Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party wins a two-thirds majority of the Diet’s Upper House in Sunday’s elections, will he move to amend Article 9 of Japan’s present Constitution?

 

Yes, he would. This is the fear of Japanese who love their “Peace Constitution.” Many people of other countries also abhor the re-emergence of a militarily mighty Japan—like the country of Emperor Hirohito that attacked Pearl Harbor, invaded China and the rest of East Asia and the Philippines and the rest of Southeast Asia, and fought beside Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy against the Allied Powers.

U kampanji ovo pitanje nije bilo u fokusu, a Abe je znalački podmentuo svog potpredsednika da kaže da neće dirati taj član.

 

During a recent TV program, the vice president of the Liberal Democratic Party, Masahiko Komura, insisted “there is zero possibility” that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe would revise war-renouncing Article 9 of the Constitution even if the ruling coalition wins a two-thirds majority in the upcoming Upper House elections. But why believe him? Abe has made clear his intentions of promoting constitutional revision. Until he publicly pledges not to do so, voters are right to be wary.

 

Komura wants to bamboozle voters because he understands that public support for revising the Constitution is weak. An NHK poll in June indicated only 26 percent of Japanese citizens support his plans and only 11 percent think it is a priority. This lack of enthusiasm is also evident in a Kyodo poll in June indicating that 46.6 percent of all Upper House candidates oppose revising the Constitution, while only 34.6 percent support doing so. Broken down by party, 72.1 percent of the LDP favors revision while no candidate from coalition partner Komeito does, and only 28 percent of Osaka Ishin no Kai (One Osaka) candidates support revision. Virtually all the candidates of the Democratic Party and all of those fielded by the Japanese Communist Party and Social Democratic Party oppose revision.

 

Significantly, despite Abe’s enthusiasm, only 11.7 percent of all candidates think constitutional revision is a priority, according to the Kyodo poll.

U septembru prošle godine već su zaobilaznim putem donesena tumačenja koja umanjuju značaj tog člana, ali to Abeu očigledno nije dovoljno.

 

Seven decades after its surrender ended World War II, Japan took its most significant step away from the pacifist foreign policy that shaped 70 years of its post-war history.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe spent considerable effort to push a bill reinterpreting Article 9 of the country’s constitution through the Diet, Japan’s legislature. On Thursday, legislators brawled when opposition politicians tried to physically block a vote on the legislation. It passed Friday after three days of raucous debate in the House of Councillors, the upper house of the Japanese parliament, marking a historic shift in the nation’s approach to international affairs.

Pacifism formed the nucleus of Japan’s foreign policy in the post-war era. The policy is rooted in the horrors of the Pacific War and Japan’s wartime trauma, including the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Article 9 of the post-war constitution, drafted under U.S. occupation in 1947, declares that the Japanese people “forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation.”

 

This constitutional language is common among the former Axis powers. Article 11 of the Italian Constitution declares that Italy “rejects war as an instrument of aggression.” Article 26 of Germany’s Basic Law forbids “activities tending and undertaken with the intent to disturb peaceful relations between nations, especially to prepare for aggressive war.”

 

But Article 9 goes even further. The second clause pledges that “land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained” by Japan, and that “the right of belligerency will not be recognized.” As the name of Japan’s military suggests, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces exist only to protect the Japanese homeland. JSDF forces participate in UN peacekeeping operations and humanitarian missions, but avoided UN-authorized combat missions in Korea or during the Gulf War. (A noncombat unit took part in the U.S. occupation of Iraq after Saddam Hussein’s fall, to considerable controversy.)

 

The bill passed on Friday does not change Article 9’s language. That would require a constitutional amendment and two-thirds support in both houses of the Diet, which Abe and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party lack. Instead, it reinterprets it to allow for “collective self-defense.”

 

Japanese forces will now be able to assist the U.S. and other allies if those allies were attacked, although there would still be limits on the scope and scale of Japanese assistance. The BBC notes, for example, that Japan could now shoot down a North Korean missile fired at the U.S. and provide logistical support to South Korea if Pyongyang invaded, but could not deploy Japanese troops to Korea.

The Religious Cult Secretly Running Japan

Nippon Kaigi, a small cult with some of the country’s most powerful people, aims to return Japan to pre-WWII imperial ‘glory.’ Sunday’s elections may further its goal.

TOKYO — In the Land of the Rising Sun, a conservative Shinto cult dating back to the 1970s, which includes Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and many of his cabinet among its adherents, finally has been dragged out of the shadows. 

The group is called Nippon Kaigi (Japan Conference) and is ostensibly run by Tadae Takubo, a former journalist turned political scientist. It only has 38,000 members, but like many an exclusive club, or sect, it wields tremendous political influence.

Broadly speaking, Shinto is a polytheistic and animist religion native to Japan. The state-sponsored Shintoism promulgated here before and during World War II also elevated the Emperor to the status of a God and insisted that the Japanese were a divine race—the Yamato; with all other races considered inferior. 

 

Nippon Kaigi originally began in the early 1970s from a liberal Shinto group known asSeicho No Ie. In 1974, a splinter section of the group joined forces with Nippon o Mamoru Kai, a State-Shinto revival organization that espoused patriotism and a return to imperial worship. The group in its current state was officially formed in May of 1997, when Nippon o Mamoru Kai and a group of right-leaning intellectuals joined forces. 

The current cult’s goals: gut Japan’s post-war pacifist constitution, end sexual equality, get rid of foreigners, void pesky “human rights” laws, and return Japan to its Imperial Glory.

About a third of the Diet (parliament) are members of the group’s parliamentary league, as are over half of the 19-strong cabinet of Shinzo Abe, the prime minister. Mr Abe is the group’s “special adviser”.

Ispod 2%. Toliko o tome da su ti potrebne količine imigranata da bi bio svetska ekonomija.

[Shan Jan]

Pa... to je zanimljivo pitanje. Uvoz imigranata je na neki nacin "varanje", kao sto je i varanje kada zemlje sa nazadnim i neefikasnim uredjenjem se vode kao uspesne jer imaju boost od nafte il sto su poreski raj il nesto trece. Tako i zapadne zemlje imaju boost zbog imigranata, time lece nedovoljno efikasno skolstvo, manjak automatizacije, los prirodni prirastaj (il prosto arhaicne welfare zakone) itd itd...

 

Sa druge strane, zemlja koja ne radi aktivno na dovlacenju pametnih i vrednih ljudi u danasnjem svetu je... pa isto nazadna. Mozda Japanu ide dobro uprkos nedostatku imigranata, ali bilo bi im jos bolje sa njima, pod uslovom da imaju pametnu imigracionu politiku. Mada... pitanje je koliko bi oni bili napredni da mogu da se vade na tone imigranata kad god im zafali radne snage i/ili platioca poreza. Drzave se ne menjaju na bolje sto hoce, vec sto ih muka natera :)

Wispy, thinning and suspiciously free of grey, François Hollande’s boring hairstyle has never been held to much scrutiny, unlike his wonky ties, which have their own website.

But now the balding pate of the French president is at the centre of an embarrassing scandal dubbed coiffeurgate after the weekly paper Le Canard Enchaîné revealed that his personal hairdresser is on contract for almost €10,000 a month, paid for from the public purse.

The publication of the contract with the hairdresser, named as Olivier B, has sparked a row over extravagant spending by a Socialist president who once liked to see himself as “Mr Normal”.

 

“I can understand the questions, I can understand that there are judgments,” said the government spokesman and Hollande ally, Stephane Le Foll, as he confirmed the hairdresser’s steep salary of €9,895 (£8,265) a month.

“Everyone has their hair done, don’t they?” said Le Foll, known for his own bouffant style. “This hairdresser had to abandon his salon and he’s on tap 24 hours a day.”

The Canard Enchaîné reported that in addition to his salary, Hollande’s hairdresser was entitled to a “housing allowance” and other “family benefits”. He never had a stand-in to replace him and demands on him were so tough that he had “missed the births of his children”.

The hairdresser — employed since Hollande took office and accompanying him on most of his foreign trips — is contracted to “maintain absolute secrecy about his work and any information he may have gathered both during and after his contract”.

YEREVAN, July 17. /TASS/. A group of oppositionists has seized a regiment of the police patrol and inspection service in Yerevan and is demanding the Armenian authorities’ resignation, the republican police press office reported on Sunday.

 

There has been no official report about the incident. Armenian law-enforcers say several people were hurt in the incident.

 

The supporters of oppositionist Zhirair Sefilyan who was arrested on June 20 and is accused of organizing a criminal group have announced about "their intention to change the situation in Armenia" by way of an "armed uprising," according to the statement released by the opposition group.

 

"We have already seized one of the basic police bases in Yerevan and are controlling the Erebuni quarter in the south of the Armenian capital, the oppositionists say.

Government bodies are working in a normal regime

 

"Government bodies are working in a normal regime while law enforcers are duly performing their functions for protecting public order and ensuring state security," the statement said.

 

"Today a group of armed persons penetrated the territory of a regiment of the Armenian patrol and inspection police and is holding captive people there under the threat of violence," the statement said.

 

"Simultaneously, their supporters are periodically spreading false information through the media and social networks about the start of an armed uprising and the seizure of buildings," the statement says.

 

Negotiations are currently under way with the armed persons "for their peaceful surrender to the Armenian authorities," the National Security Service said.
 

Armenian special services have warned that any unlawful actions will be immediately terminated while the persons committing them will be neutralized and be held liable, the statement said.
