What's the Backstory to Mass Emigration?

Ever since the massive refugee crisis began in Europe earlier this year I have been wondering 'whey now'? I've had the niggling feeling that this cannot simply be a 'mass phenomenon' where you see your neighbors leaving one by one either because of civil war, poor governance, or terrorism and you finally decide to follow them. It's just too sudden, and too massive. This article provides answers that make sense and should make us wary.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
