¡Hay moros en la costa! (Moors on the coast!)
That warning cry boomed out in the coastal villages of the old Spanish Levant when Moorish raiders approached by sea intent on pillage and rape. No more appropriate phrase exists to capture what is now happening in Europe.
Far from a refugee crisis, as I noted before, what we have in the stunning movement of hundreds-of-thousands of people from the MidEast and North Africa to Europe is an invasion; nothing less than an invasion, and one welcomed by its victims. We see the final convulsions of the already much wounded and battered Old Continent.
This is how death by Progressivism appears; how suicide by genocide occurs.
As we saw earlier in the USA with the fake Central American "refugee" crisis (here) Progressive media and "activists" regale us with false stories of "children" fleeing violence in their homelands for the safety of, yes, what turns out to be White Man's World--the very world wherein, according to those same Progressives, minorities and women are oppressed by the White Patriarchy. Naturally, White Man's World has an obligation to take in the fake refugees because somehow it's all White Man's fault.
In our own "refugee" crisis we do not see the "children" go from, say, violent Honduras to nearby peaceful Nicaragua or Costa Rica. No, the "children" take a 1200 mile trek across dangerous Mexico to come to the USA, where they are welcomed by Progressive policies of free stuff. The "refugee children" of the Middle East, likewise, don't head for rich Saudi Arabia and the wealthy Gulf States all run by their brothers in Islam. No. As Muslim invaders have done for hundreds of years, they head for Christian Europe. The oil-rich Arabs, by the way, have made clear that they don't want the "refugees." As I noted before with the fake "Palestinian refugees," so it is with the fake "Syrian refugees": the Muslims make a mess, and the rest of us get to pay.
It is all a murderous sham.
The "children refugees" from the Middle east, of course, much like the "children refugees" from Central America, turn out, well, not to be children. According to the UN, they are overwhelmingly young men, nearly three-fourths--and that's data from the UN so the real number is probably closer to 90%. In the European case, the "refugees" also come bearing extremely hostile attitudes towards the very Europeans whom they demand take them in. They come armed with something that at least "our" Latin American "refugees" did not have: Islam, the world's most totalitarian, intolerant, and murderous creed. Just wait as child sex trafficking rings, rapes, murders, and acts of terror begin to spike--the Progressive media, of course, will downplay all that, try to make it invisible, ignore it or explain it away, as they do with illegal alien crime in the USA.
The soft-headed, guilt-ridden, if not openly anti-Western morons who run most of Europe seem more than willing to welcome their conquerors. We see, for example, Germans gleefully applauding and hugging the invaders. Once upon a time those leaders and followers would have been seen as Quislings and sent to the gallows, now they are preening humanitarians.
The Progressive agenda marches on.
Watching the leftists in charge of the free world fall over themselves to chant "I, for one, welcome our new Muslim overlords" is by turns enraging and depressing.
ReplyDeleteI have to wonder what level of coordinated, widespread islamist violence it's going to take for our governments and media to stop surrendering everything we've built to barbarians locked in a 6th century mindset.
I also fear, by that point, it will be too late to stop.
There's a temptation to believe that progress will always march forward, but history shows us how easy it is to backslide, particularly when the prime civilizations of the time fall. One example is Rome; about 2,000 years ago, they'd developed a type of cement that dried quickly underwater - but when Rome fell, that technology was lost. It wasn't rediscovered until, I believe, the 18th century - well over 1,000 years later.
I have to wonder what will be lost if the Western world falls, and how long it would take to recover.
Commentator Mark Steyn also noted the high proportion of adult males vs. families among the "refugees." He's also been citing the dystopian novel, "The Camp of the Saints," by Jean Raspail (1973), in which the current invasion is unfolding in a manner depicted in the book.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading Raspail in college. We all laughed at his vision of the future. I ain't laughing now.
DeleteRarely mentioned about the book, Europe realizes the convoys coming will mean the death and destruction of millions and their culture. However, not only do they remain paralyzed to stop the arrival, they also prevent those that would, effectively committing suicide.
DeleteI'm reading that book now and sometimes I forget if I'm reading fiction or the news.
DeleteI read a report that in Germany they aren't distinguishing between refugees who left because of poverty from those who left actual war-torn regions, thus a large number of Muslims from the Balkans in the mix.
ReplyDeleteI lived in a small village in West Germany when the wall came down. The West German government had generous financial assistance for any East German who managed to escape to the West, but shortly before the actual collapse of communist East Germany, the rare occurrence of a successful escape became a deluge. These "refugees" were fellow Germans and yet the sentiment in West Germany quickly changed to complaints about the cost to taxpayers, to it wasn't fair to give scarce housing and preferential treatment to jobs to the East Germans pouring in. My German friends and neighbors also began to complain about the junk East German cars crowding the autobahn and slowing down traffic, because those cars could not keep up with the pace of West German traffic. I doubt the public happy face of Merkel represents the ordinary German sentiment. Heck a decade before the wall came down I was living in West Germany then too and the ordinary German on the street disliked all the Turkish and Pakistani immigrants living in their country, as cheap imported labor, and Germans do not do "assimilation", no matter how long foreigners live in their country.

DeleteThe Germans are just as good at assimilation as they are at stand up comedy. Not exactly world renowned in either.

This is better than above.
Well, in WWI (gosh! a century ago!) Generals Francois and Rennenkampf squared off against each other. The first was German, the second was Russian.
DeleteMy guess is that a lot of Europe is bad at assimilation. I've taught dark French kids in both university and high school who comment on how relaxed American race relations are--and one said it in a region that was once the happy hunting ground of the KKK. This struck me between the eyes after a lifetime of being lectured to on how "open" French society was.
Still, there are bright spots. One of the most welcome developments going on in the Islamic world is that there are now Evangelical congregations cropping up among the Kurds and Turks in SE Anatolia and among the Kabyles of Algeria. These appear to have been started by guest workers who became Christian while in Europe.
I cancelled a trip to Greece and we are now going to England and Belgium today. Friends are meeting us and we will spend a week with them visiting the Waterloo battlefield. We are avoiding the Chunnel and its Muslim riots at the Calais end. We will take the Dover to Dunkirk car ferry.
ReplyDeleteI fear this may be my last trip to Europe although our British friends assure me the story is overblown. I don't think so.

ReplyDelete4 million Muslims pretend to escape 30,000 ISIS fighters who are not even near their towns, cities and even countries. This kind of mass-migration fraud is a medieval war strategy and it’s called Hijrah. It’s part of jihad.
Ok, so let’s pretend that they are victims of war and need to escape. Very easy to resolve. Pressure the 49 Islamic countries around the world to take them all in. Block them from all and total entry into the West. If the Islamic countries don’t take them in – put trade sanctions on them. Watch and see how quickly this mass-migration flood will come to an end when the Muslims realize that they can’t get their Hijrah-jihad to work.

My guess is that the Falastin Arabs were left as refugees down to the fourth and fifth generation in order to keep hatred of Israel at fever pitch.
DeleteI cannot understand Merkel. She even acknowledges that bringing in hundreds of thousand will "change" Germany. You bet. I hope the Europeans start to resist.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that the Labour Party in the UK deliberately imported Pakistanis to shift the electoral balance, I DO understand Merkel.
DeleteI just don't understand why Germany puts up with it.
At this point, I'd love to see the over/under on when this turns violent.
ReplyDeleteRe our Latin American "refugees", I've seen these kids with their Ch Guevara T-shirts, and wonder why they didn't take boats to Progressive Cuba. And all these native born Trotskyites beating the drum for the Castro brother, for whom Ramon Mercador was a hero.
ReplyDeleteRemember that Sgt. Angua found it easier being a vegetarian by day than avoiding being a humanitarian by night.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to sink into despair about this situation, but I still have great hope for the long term. The demented leaders of many European countries (Merkel being the prime example) want to commit national suicide for reasons that completely elude me. But the Poles, Hungarians and some others who have bèen dealing with Muslim invasions for the last millenia see things much more clearly
ReplyDeleteThere will be blood. But the invaders are a degenerate, inbred mob of undisciplined imbeciles who will kill each other for sectarian reasons just as easily as they will kill their hosts. Such mobs are fearsome at first, but are ultimately easy prey for determined men. I have no doubt that there are many men in Europe who are preparing to stand between the invaders and their women and children as I write these words.
Dour European determination has been fending off Muslim savagery and idiocy for over a thousand years and I believe it will do so again. Maybe not today, or next week. Things will get much worse before they get better, but I have no doubt that the spirit of Charles Martel still lives in Europe and will prevail.
Meanwhile...it's damn sad. We will be living in very interesting times.
The progressives are furious at the domestic "masses" for not being the grateful pets they expected; and this is their revenge.
ReplyDeleteLSWCHP, I hope you're right.
ReplyDeleteWhen the masses get enough, it is often their "leaders" who get the full wrath first. Second will come the newly arrived threats. One threat at a time. Sweden seems to be a case in point right now.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what would happen if all these THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of men - and women - rebelled, stood up and fought back and fought to take their own land back instead of running away - they could ask for help, we (the free nations) could help provide tools, guns, etc., and 'they' could overtake the enemy. Think of the pioneers vs. the Indians, etc., etc. Why do all these able bodies people run away - because it is easier to find "free" things than to fight for what is rightfully theirs??? I wonder........
ReplyDeleteThey prefer free stuff.
DeleteRobert of Ottawa: For sure - just like in the good old US of A. Too bad that I'm too old, white, worked ALL of my life, single Mom of two sons; never on any kind of welfare, hand out, etc., guess I just didn't know how to work the system - I should have had 8 kids by 8 different "baby daddy"; gotten SS for each kid, food stamps, etc.., and now I would be a rich bitch! Oh well, i was brought up to understand that I was to work for my goodies, live properly, respect all human beings and be kind!
