Europe’s refugee story has hardly begun
Guardian UK ^ | 01 February 2016 | Paul Mason

The refugee story has hardly begun. There will be, on conservative estimates, another million arriving via Turkey this year – and maybe more. The distribution quotas proposed by Germany, and resisted by many states in eastern Europe, are already a fiction and will fade into insignificance as the next wave comes.

Germany itself will face critical choices: if you’re suddenly running a budget deficit to meet the needs of asylum seekers, how do you justify not spending on the infrastructure that’s supposed to serve German citizens, which has crumbled through underinvestment in the Angela Merkel era?

But these problems are sideshows compared with the big, existential issues that a second summer of uncontrolled migration into Greece would bring.

First, there’s the diplomatic onslaught on Greece. Last week the European Commission mulled quarantining Greece by building a razor-wire fence inside the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, which is not even a member of the EU. German sources floated the idea of cancelling Greece’s debt if only Greece would agree to jail 400,000 migrants. A Belgian minister, in an EU negotiation, is alleged – by his Greek counterpart – to have demanded the Greeks “push back or sink” the boats coming from Turkey, in breach of international law. Others in Europe are proposing to criminalise the NGOs that are helping the refugees as they arrive in the islands.

This whole refugee thing is bad, very bad, atrocious in its clear present-day effects and likely if not certain to cause awful problems from here on out in Europe.

Merkel is really executing something that will last for generations and probably be pretty bad for generations. Shocking to watch it happen but happening it appears to be.

The fighting aged islamo males want the chance to rape, kill and die for 72 virgins or whatever brainwashing the nutjobs are selling.

Retards should never be born.

The big issue will remain: how on earth can you evict them even if you suddenly decide to, if you haven’t made any provisions for tracking them? This is likely to be a very long-lived problem.

True refugees would work for free fixing German infrastructure.

Arbeit or Assad’s army, your choice.

Oh, you want to apply for asylum? Here’s your shovel, start digging over there.

Bingo!
Deliberate crisis: “you haven’t made any provisions for tracking them? This is likely to be a very long-lived problem.”

Meet ulterior motive solution:
Tattoo / sub-dermal RFID identification for tracking: citizenship, criminal / terrorist status, financial and health information.

Kill the economy and create an international terrorist immigration crisis, that begs for a Big Brother solution.

Davos-Bilderberg-CFR geniuses.

The other issue that doesn’t get talked about is the court case in Germany last Dec. 2nd. The German high court ruled that migrants from within the EU have a right to full German social benefits.

Therefore hordes from Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, and other poorer parts of the EU can come to Germany, get free housing and a full pension, even if they never worked there.

This ruling will break Socialism’s back in Europe, and good riddance.

I read online that Germany has lost track of 600,000 immigrants there. One of the big reasons the immigrants in Calais, France burned down their encampment was because the French government was determined to have them all identified and issued formal French I.D. They don’t want French I.D., they want to get to the U.K. where the benefits are more generous. Many of these immigrants have several middle eastern I.D.’s, so if they are questioned about a crime, they just use other faked passports and I.D. I read once some years back, a poster said visit Europe now before it becomes downtown Beirut. How prophetic.

Frankly if Europe goes down good riddance to a socialist riddled continent for my entire lifetime. Suicide by Muslim is their own choice.

It's like the run-up to WW2 all over again.

In a just world, their leadership would be swinging from lampposts. It still might got that way if the ordinary Germans ever wake up.

However, I fear that they have lost their will to survive.

Their leaders need to adorn lampposts.

Watch this film of an angry Grandfather shouting down a mayor in Germany when he tells them that their ten year old children will have to find another way to get to school so as to not go near migrants that wish to sexually harass them.
