The U.S. Is Destroying Europe
Authored by Eric Zuesse via Strategic-Culture.org,
In Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and other countries at the periphery or edges of Europe, U.S. President Barack Obama has been pursuing a policy of destabilization, and even of bombings and other military assistance, that drives millions of refugees out of those peripheral areas and into Europe, thereby adding fuel to the far-rightwing fires of anti-immigrant rejectionism, and of resultant political destabilization, throughout Europe, not only on its peripheries, but even as far away as in northern Europe.
Shamus Cooke at Off-Guardian headlines on 3 August 2015, “Obama’s ‘Safe Zone’ in Syria Intended to Turn It into New Libya,” and he reports that Obama has approved U.S. air support for Turkey’s previously unenfoceable no-fly zone over Syria. The U.S. will now shoot down all of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s planes that are targeting the extremist-Muslim groups, including ISIS, that have taken over huge swaths of Syrian territory.
Cooke reports:
“Turkey has been demanding this no-fly zone from Obama since the Syrian war started. It’s been discussed throughout the conflict and even in recent months, though the intended goal was always the Syrian government. And suddenly the no-fly zone is happening — right where Turkey always wanted it — but it’s being labeled an 'anti-ISIS' safe zone, instead of its proper name: 'Anti Kurdish and anti-Syrian government' safe zone.”
The New York Times reported on July 27th, that, "the plan calls for relatively moderate Syrian insurgents to take the territory, with the help of American and possibly Turkish air support.” However, the Times, stenographically reporting (as usual) from and for their U.S. Government sources (and so propagandizing for the U.S. Government), fails to define “relatively moderate,” but all of the “relatively moderate insurgent” groups in Syria cooperate with ISIS and help them to find and decapitate, or sometimes hold for ransoms, any non-Muslims there. Under Assad, Syria has been a non-clerical state, and has enjoyed freedom of religion, but all of the Syrian opposition to Assad’s rule is alien to that. The U.S. is now, even more clearly than before, anti-Assad, pro-Islamist.
Seymour Hersh reported in the London Review of Books on 17 April 2014, that the Obama Administration’s Libyan bombing campaign in 2011 was part of a broader program to bring sarin gas from Libya to the al-Nusra Front in Syria, in order to help produce a gas-attack upon civilians, which the U.S. Administration could then blame upon Assad, as being an excuse to bomb there just as Obama had already so successfully done in Libya. Both dictators, Gaddafi and Assad, were allied with Russia, and Assad especially has been important to Russia, as a transit-route for Russia’s gas supplies, and not for Qatar’s gas supplies — Qatar being the major potential threat to Russia’s status as the top supplier of gas into Europe.
Prior to the U.S. bombings of Libya in 2011, Libya was at peace and thriving. Per-capita GDP (income) in 2010 according to the IMF was $12,357.80, but it plunged to only $5,839.70 in 2011 — the year we bombed and destroyed the country. (Hillary Clinton famously bragged, “We came, we saw, he [Gaddafi] died!”) (And, unlike in U.S. ally Saudi Arabia, that per-capita GDP was remarkably evenly distributed, and both education and health care were socialized and available to everyone, even to the poor.) More recently, on 15 February 2015, reporter Leila Fadel of NPR bannered “With Oil Fields Under Attack, Libya’s Economic Future Looks Bleak.” She announced: “The man in charge looks at production and knows the future is bleak. 'We cannot produce. We are losing 80 percent of our production,' says Mustapha Sanallah, the chairman of Libya's National Oil Corporation.” Under instructions from Washington, the IMF hasn’t been reliably reporting Libya’s GDP figures after 2011, but instead shows that things there were immediately restored to normal (even to better than normal: $13,580.55 per-capita GDP) in 2012, but everybody knows that it’s false; even NPR is, in effect, reporting that it’s not true. The CIA estimates that Libya’s per-capita GDP was a ridiculous $23,900 in 2012 (they give no figures for the years before that), and says Libya’s per-capita GDP has declined only slightly thereafter. None of the official estimates are at all trustworthy, though the Atlantic Council at least made an effort to explain things honestly, headlining in their latest systematic report about Libya’s economy, on 23 January 2014, “Libya: Facing Economic Collapse in 2014.”
Libya has become Europe’s big problem. Millions of Libyans are fleeing the chaos there. Some of them are fleeing across the Mediterranean and ending up in refugee camps in southern Italy; and some are escaping to elsewhere in Europe.
And Syria is now yet another nation that’s being destroyed in order to conquer Russia. Even the reliably propagandistic New York Times is acknowledging, in its ‘news’ reporting, that, "both the Turks and the Syrian insurgents see defeating President Bashar al-Assad of Syria as their first priority.” So: U.S. bombers will be enforcing a no-fly-zone over parts of Syria in order to bring down Russia’s ally Bashar al-Assad and replace his secular government by an Islamic government — and the 'anti-ISIS' thing is just for show; it’s PR, propaganda. The public cares far more about defeating ISIS than about defeating Russia; but that’s not the way America’s aristocracy views things. Their objective is extending America’s empire — extending their own empire.
Similarly, Obama overthrew the neutralist government of Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine in February 2014, but that was under the fake cover of ‘democracy’ demonstrations, instead of under the fake cover of ‘opposing Islamic terrorism’ or whatever other phrases that the U.S. Government uses to fool suckers about America’s installation of, and support to, a rabidly anti-Russia, racist-fascist, or nazi, government next door to Russia, in Ukraine. Just as Libya had been at peace before the U.S. invaded and destroyed it, and just as Syria had been at peace before the U.S and Turkey invaded and destroyed it, Ukraine too was at peace before the U.S. perpetrated its coup there and installed nazis and an ethnic cleansing campaign there, and destroyed Ukraine too.
Like with Libya before the overthrow of Gaddafi there, or Syria before the current effort to overthrow Assad there, or the more recent successful overthrow of Ukraine’s democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych, it’s all aimed to defeat Russia.
The fact that all of Europe is sharing in the devastation that Obama and other American conservatives — imperialists, even — impose, is of little if any concern to the powers-that-be in Washington DC, but, if it matters at all to them, then perhaps it’s another appealing aspect of this broader operation: By weakening European nations, and not only nations in the Middle East, Obama’s war against Russia is yet further establishing America to be “the last man standing,” at the end of the chaos and destruction that America causes.
Consequently, for example, in terms of U.S. international strategy, the fact that the economic sanctions against Russia are enormously harming the economies of European nations is good, not bad.
There are two ways to win, at any game: One is by improving one’s own performance. The other is by weakening the performances by all of one’s competitors. The United States is now relying almost entirely upon the latter type of strategy.

"Destroy the Western culture" -- Obama
What "Western culture" you speak about ?
The modernist decadent one who is about to collapse to the ground harshly or the traditional one with Christianity, no progressivism and God fearing Westerner ?
Hint: There is no such thing as "Western culture" since at least 60 years now (and maybe even more)...
Anything that isn't Muslim.
Muzzies are anti-abortion, so they might not be all bad.
Anti-usury as well.
Greater Israel will be all that is left standing.
Europeans do a fine job of destroying Europe all by themselves, but sure, it is hard to argue we haven't helped them. We turned them into whiny dependents, much as we have done with our blacks, by providing for their basic needs. Ungrateful bitches for the most part.
duck season is open:
https://youtu.be/TXHlH2mozPY?t=3m35s
Besides all the other nefarious reasons, THEY make WAR to create these refugee crises, to then exploit later....either the people directly or the situation....
The psycopathy is stunning...
Obama wants every white woman raped by a muslim african. Just like his mom was by his 'mumba daddy'.
Pretty obvious what the Europeans have in store for themselves unless they tell the USA to F off and they ship these illegals back to Africa ASAP, also kick the USSA bases out they are just nests of spies and snooping in on communications.
Europe is teetering on the edge and the USSA put it there and is more than happy to push it into destruction.
The Euros before pulling the muzzies out of the water should make them convert to Christianity, give them only pork for food and then drop them off on the shores of Africa with a ton of bibles.
Why is it always America's fault? Europe has been damn good at destroying itself for thousands of years. So what? The French have hot chicks. But so does America.
The post you were replying to should of read Obama and his Puppet Masters.
assads alawites are protected by the elites.
obama is into forced multiculturalism, destroying the genetics of europeans by breeding or their murder by the sub set of hominids called black.
Genetics do not get "destroyed" by people intermingling, at all. Do read a biology handbook sometime. Learn something.
She craved that tootsie roll , there was no rape.
The Banksters are winning. They have successfully changed the dialog away from them into the imaginary fears of mouth breathers.
That fishhook looks good on you.
Unless I am mistaken, socialism and marxism originated in Europe. It is they who have poisoned us.
snr...the banksters backed communism to install their central bank in Russian (Tsars would not allow the debt money system) and then backed Hitler to crush the communists. The work around for that fiasco is just happening now. You have had your opinion of socialism handed to you by these same bankers who have been running your world since before your grandpappy was a even thought of. Socialism is power of the people all the rest is power by the bankers. Don't go thinking socialism can't compete with capitalism as Russia caught up to the capitalist west technologicaly in very short order and in some instances passed the west by as is evident in some fields of modern day Russia., or don't through the baby out with the bath water.
Your world is delusional, permeated with hysterics and unstable paranoia. But then, that can be said of quite a few on these forums.
Delusion and reality are not mutually exclusive. Billions of people are deluded about all kinds of things, yet their delusion forced on others becomes a reality (e.g. the dominant religion of the middle east -just try not following their delusion!).
Obama clearly said that he wanted to "fundamentally transform" the US. But few cared to nail down exactly what that meant. Well, we are finding out now.
First of all, Obama hates the very society that gave him all these wonderful opportunies throughout his life. He wants to transform the First World by flooding it with Third World migrants, especially Muslim ones. The endgame here is to fulfill his father's dream; that is: end White, Capitalist Judeo-Christian society and replace it with a Brown, Marxist Atheist one. In short, ethnically cleanse Whites in their own countries. To some, especially guild-ridden, self-hating White liberals, this new society may seem like just what the Dr. ordered. But, once Whites are in the minority, things will get real nasty, real fast.
And so far he is succeeding beyond his wildest dreams because 1) few people comprehend what he is doing and 2) no one really has the Power to stop him. The only questions is: will the next President continue his work? Probably not--or at least not as effectively or enthusiastially. But Obama is accelerating the chaos as much as he can to make it irreversable. But the bigger problem is that Whites have psychologically shakled themselves with political correctness. That may change once the inevitable persecution begins.
Lucky for me, I'll be either dead or senile before most of this comes to pass.
obama is a tool period.
Correct. Obama is a racist Marxist psychopath. He's the perfect puppet of the Rothschild bankster cabal. That's why Romney was selected to lose to him in 2012.
I believe Trump's true purpose is to make sure Hitlery follows him into the White House, so that millions of racists can suddenly become sexists, and the destruction of Anglo-Saxon culture can continue unabated.
EU = UWSE (United Wefare States of Europe)

Sounds traditional.
Not so
They just believe in post birth abortions

Any ending is better than an mending.
Ironic, isn’t it, that America is now facing the same challenge as Europe — uncontrolled emigration from the south. What can be done, you ask? The challenge must be met by solidifying a common front in America — just as in Europe — to implement a comprehensive solution to the new arrivals. This means integrating them as quickly as possible into American life. A path to citizenship.
Why is it dangerous not to? I will quote briefly from an excellent editorial by Roger Cohen in the NYT.
“The would-be destroyer has clear objectives: a weakened Europe beset by rising leftist and rightist anti-immigrant parties, splintering at its Greek periphery, irresolute about its eastern neighbors, morally debased, navel-gazing as Moscow and Beijing plot the future of Eurasia.
His name is Vladimir Putin. He has ideas. Europe, for now, has none. That is dangerous.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/04/opinion/roger-cohen-the-migrant-crisis...
Please.
Never, ever, ever citizenship. At most a bus ticket. For grandpa, the kids, everybody. Get the Fisk out!
Hint: There is no such thing as "Western culture" since at least 60 years now (and maybe even more)...
A simple definition of culture is: communicated learned patterns.
Very true. The key to a NWO is to destroy a nation's culture through confusion and chaos. Multiculturalism/Diversity = No or lack of culture
The narcissitic elitists are trying to create and execute a culture outside of the natural order, into their order with the use of oligarchic/coporatocracy/technocratic structure. Technology is being used in attempt to counter their desire for central control with an attempt to keep some sembalance of national cultures.
Agreed. There is a form of Tribalism that is sweeping "America" where tatoo's and rings of many types are the outward signs. Other than that, this "America" has nothing remotely connected to call it civilization that can hold it together long term (decades), beyond that we will be a land mass of multi-nation states if that.
The chief enemy of Russia is indeed the Anglo-Zionist Empire, and secondarily the AZE's running dogs, the Radical Sunni Islamists®.
But Russia would be happy with a weak Europe, too. Ideally, a weak Europe dependent upon Russian resources.
Where did all those tribesmen go who brought Russia the Bolshevik revolution and ran Russia when it was the USSR? Surely they're still there running things ... with the puppets up front as usual.
As a western prepper, i have stocked enough IPhones to survive the impeding apocalypse... bring it on!
So who you going to call?
Phones are for making calls?
Zionbusters
Better trade those phones for toilet paper before it's too late.
Ghostbusters!!!!
Sorry, too easy.
Sexting?
Brain cancer.
Collapse everything in the periphery toward the center in order to maintain the core (USA).
“Put another way: credit panics start in the periphery because that’s where the risk and overshoot of debt to collateral are highest.
There is another overlay to the core-periphery model: neocolonialism. Explained this in The E.U., Neofeudalism and the Neocolonial-Financialization Model (May 24, 2012). The classic colonial model is a simple core-periphery dynamic: the core nation extracts commodities and low-cost labor from its colonies (the periphery) and sells its own high-margin manufactured goods to the captured-markets of its colonies.”

Interesting angle, but you want to see that working when all value-added manufacturing is done elsewhere while all debt is dollar-denominated. What are USA going to do? the demand for those Zenith TV sets are pretty low nowadays...
Destroying the peiphery while you need 50+Billons a day from them to keep breathing looks just stupid...
Create credit and loan everything into existence, ramp the US debt and the Federal Reserve balance sheet to infinity, (time is infinite to their way of thinking), control the propaganda-perception management, keep performing competitive devaluation and there can be no ‘Black Swan’ to bring it down.
"Destroy the Western culture" -- Obama
Dreams of my father -- Obama
When I was living in Edinburgh in 2011, the Libyans were already coming in, with thanks to USSA, UK and FRA. I left shortly afterwards, for me the fact that africans and non-europeans were getting ALL the help and luxury they wanted for free, was the last straw, while we, the people of the land were treated like shit, and they would do anything, and I mean anything not to help US. I was ashamed of my own nation, then we lost the vote for independence, and this WAS a rigged vote, with CaMoron declaring victory by a percent only after the voting had begun, when I heard that I knew it was already rigged, he was also told how to rig it by yours truly, the United terrorists of the USSA, remember them saying that there must not be a break up, it was a warning to the English government. And my people done what they always do, NOTHING ! The people there struggle more by the month. But nobody does anything, the ONLY way to break free for Scotland is to pick up the gun. FUCK ENGLAND and the CROWN of EVIL !!!
Now I live in central Europe, Vienna, and it is better, I am treated like a person here, I get help to survive when I need it, I have RESPECTED rights that protect me, and I am treated as an equal. But one of the things I have noticed when going into the centre is the (growing)amount of trans-genders walking in the streets, and I do not mean just walking, it is like a parade, this is amerikanism that is causing this. We get two free newspapers in the city daily, Heute and Österreicher, they are soooo overtaken by amerikanerism it is bad, promoting sexual deviance in ways that shock me, NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is sacred. From Gay traffic lights and plays to fashion and schooling. it is shocking, and I am certain this is being done all over the EssU. The people LOVE amerika and all it represents, Even though it is destroying the country.
Just outside of the city, we have a beautiful town called Baden. An extension of it is Traiskirchen, this is where all the refugees are first sent, there are 10s of thousands of them, it will destroy Baden, that is for sure, lots of foreigners will stop holidaying there, when you walk around the place it is already starting to look a bit foreign, it is not hard to spot the difference between a tourist and a refugee, thanks to the Western Axis of Evil, the innocent, or perhaps not so innocent people must pay the price for passivity to the government. It is the beginning of a time bomb.
I don't know what is going to happen in the next 2 or so years, but with help from terrorist USSA, who needs enemies, when you freely invite one in, like a vampire !
I came here for the thumbnail.
Ah, you like the big ones, eh?
"There are two ways to win, at any game: One is by improving one’s own performance. The other is by weakening the performances by all of one’s competitors. The United States is now relying almost entirely upon the latter type of strategy."
Brillant Strategy by the US. Europeans are playing right along, not realizing the doble whammy of the burden of sanctions they shoulder (not the US) and also providing the welfare state benefits for Africans and Arab Muslims from countries the US destabilizes.
They realize it just fine.
I think we are way beyond bribery at this point, which only leaves the real threat of brute force
as the motivator.
ICBMs can be re-targeted very quickly.
The flight path of ICBMs are simply computer programs. How quickly can you change a computer program?
With a little googling I found a big image.

Winny, look at Ted Heath. You always ignore the kiddy fiddling blackmail. Get some decrepid person in the job. Record their worst "activities" and then they're owned by the bankster cabal. You're not into kiddy fiddling are you Winston?
Although there are photos of the real me out there with Jimmy Saville at Stoke Mandeville
hospital, most definitely not.I was a big donor.The UK is not Europe, they have their own nukes,
which are most definitely not under US control.The US has more pedos as a % of population , so are you a pedo ?
Ted Heath was/is gay, not sure about a pedo though.
Winny, Ted Heath was not a pedo? This is like talking to nmewn about Bldg.#7.
Guilt by association ?
Saville was the human contradiction, pure evil mixed with almost saintly good works.
Many people(especially polticos) wanted to be associated with his good works.
i donated over 50k pounds back in the early 80's(easy come, easy go, or pay it in taxes)
to his charities, and raised a lot more playing several "All Star" sporting events with celebities
from the sports, and show biz world.
I don't know how to balance the evil vs. the good.thats above my pay grade, but there is no
guilt by association.Where are Ted Heaths,if guilty, victims ?
In the sea off Jersey?
Cheap carbs and big titties, go marca
Nonsense headline. The article isn't even about Europe, and most Americans don't know and don't care what goes on there.
(Oldest daughter just got back from two weeks in Germany. Might have some actual news soon.)
What are you talking about? Europe is part of Germany, right?
I was in Germany, Austria and Italy about two months ago. Austria and Germany were fine, but Italy is being devastated by refugees ( or whatever you might call them) from Northern Africa. Even as far north as Florence, refugees are becoming a bigger and bigger problem. The farther south one goes, the worse it gets. We bypassed Rome on this trip (except to fly out of their crappy airport), and went as far south as Naples. Naples, other than their main shopping area, is a disaster. The area surrounding the train station was probably 80% refugees and was, frankly, frightening. I can only imagine what Sicily must be like.
We've destabilized so many countries in MENA and I agree, Europe is paying the price for it and, in particular, Southern Europe.
It's the worst refugee crisis in Germany after WWII. A refugee can be happy if he finds a place in a tent camp. Thousands have to sleep in the streets.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jul/29/activists-warn-of-refuge...
The only solution to the refugee crisis is to send thousands of the refugees to sleep with the fishes.
The only real solution to the refugee crisis is for enough Euro Joe6Packs to wake up and throw off the imperial yoke.
Nice to see the strong anglo-saxon, first world bias in the comments above.
Europe's current refugee problem is the result of europe's colonial past.
Simple. Europe's wealth is also due to said imperilaist past.
Europeans were living like apes not 400 years ago while the east (and north africa in particular) were cradles of culture and civility.
The white world's overwhelming wealth is built on the backs of imperialism.
Deal with it, blowback IS a snarling BITCH!
ORI So you're saying that y'all stared at that chubby little bitch for the last 150 years and now you want some o' that payback eh? What makes you think it's so much better were that fat little bitch was sitting? We're not amused. They're broke now too, it's time for the REAL Aryans to start innovating. Cmon now, stiff upper lip and all that!
DT, the broke thingy is deliberate, no?
What goes around, comes around.
Immigration, O bummer.
Sins of the fathers I guess! Wasn't my dad! Keep hand wringing though!
DT, not sure what you were getting at up above.
I do make a BIG distinction between America and Americans, I think those two things represent opposite poles for the most part. At least one would hope so, except that the comment section here is showing increasing levels of xenophobia...
And by the way, soul and bdy crushing colonial cruelty was our lot not 70 years ago...a blip.
Now the fdifference is that most of the world hates America and Americans equally, since they make no distinctions...
I see no hand wringing, just a statement of uncomfortable facts....
Great, as an Indian it must feel good to lull yourself in the 'colonization serves them right' slogan and blame everything on Europe. Europe has done many things wrong but it's not our fault your trains still run on tracks built by Brits, your politicians could have renewed them, so at least you have evil colonial infrastructure to use now...
It must have been a bitch to be the cradle of civilization and forget to invent AK's, high explosives, delivery systems, etal to protect it.. But not to worry, our elites will sell you the rope to hang yourselves with then the 3rd world brings the rope back thus completing the circle of life..
lmao...Indians are still living like apes. Oh, correction, you've advanced to the plastics foraging stage. Good for you.
Yu are clearly stiff between the years Rocco...
We suffered 450 years of crushing colonial decline. India was the wealthiest country in the WORLD before British colonial rule.
Get it? If you do not, go to a Casino in Nevada (not Vegas) and see the fat, diabetic, dying native americans, ok?
It's called Eugenics and American governments and the westernworld in general is very good at it.
Roe Vs. Wade for fucks sake, if you want to see a murderous mind-set. Metastasized into the planned parenthood baby parts debacle currently being witnessed...
Now go stroke a gun, dimwit...
ORI, you overly generalize. Four hundred years ago that N. African prosperity you are admiring was built on slavery. A lot of it White slavery. Algiers, for a long time had the largest slave market in the world.
Then, you are giving cover to the ZionistNeoCons who lit the region on fire as part of this Oded Yinon project. Regemes were just over thrown in Tunisia, Lybia, Egypt and Yemen leaving chaos as designed. Attempts to overthrow are underway in Syria, Iraq and Iran.
Here, read about it http://www.voltairenet.org/article186019.html
Decent points all. I make a clear distinction between India (TPB/MIC/Gov) and Indians (people). Likewise America and Americans and all other nations.
I hope some generalizations get specific with that...
What? Caesar was a monkey?
the solution to the refugee crisis is to get rid of the welfare state.
then anyone seeking handouts won't want to come.
the only people coming will be those who want to work hard and build a better life for themselves
All of them probably do want to work. That isn't the problem. There aren't enough jobs for the locals let alone all these new-comers. Their own countries are war-torn or they're being persecuted or both. That is the problem!
i doubt it's accurate to say all of them do want to work. i'm sure many of them do. but, let's set that aside for the moment and look at the root cause of the problem.
why do you think there's not enough jobs? do you think it might have anything to do with the welfare state, including central banking, which is like a vampire draining the life blood out of the economy through counterfeiting (quantitative easing), theft (taxation), and cronyism?
there's no shortage of work to be done. get rid of government regulations which stifle small business, get rid of minimum wage laws which create barriers to entry-level young people trying to get their first job, get rid of fiat paper fraud and return to honest money (gold and silver), and you'll see a massive increase in employment opportunities and people willing to invest in the future.
Were I´m at here in NE Bavaria even the smaller towns are now getting flooded with refugees. Mixed groups of muslims from Syria, some from Northern Iraq and Afghanistan, They don´t have shit...clothes, food, money, nothing. Almost all of them can´t speak a lick of english, let alone german or another western language. Lots of families with kids. They are coming up from the south and especially over the Czech border. Many are being housed in school gymnasiums, asylum homes and tents. The public is being asked for donations of just about everything, and now are willing to pay €20 a day if you take somebody in...a bit more for kids.
With the open borders, there isn´t much you can do to stop them. Bavarian CSU Governor Seehöfer is starting to really wig out. Translated using Google: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&...
Thanks for the heads up. Will be in Naples in Sept, then driving down into/around Sicily until the end of the month.
Can hardly wait...
Sicily, where even the Mafia is fleeing, because there is nothing left to milk.

Hey 42. Let us know how it went for you. I'm interested in what Sicily is like given our experience in Naples.
My brother got muygged in Perugia by a few MENA thugs. The police said he's lucky they didn't beat him to death. The cops said they are very angry people.
remember that old expression: See Naples and die
Better to stay in the Southern Alps, its too cold for the North Africans.
@Bay Area Guy
Thanks for sharing this. I had read that Italy was sending them all up north to Germany and to Austria. It has been awhile since I have been to Italy, especially the south. So I have not witnessed it myself. Your take on it is really interesting.
I know that in Germany (at least in the North) there has been an influx of refugees. It has caused a bit of a stir as the state does not really know what to do with them. Naturally there are two camps, the people who want to help them, and the people who do not want state resources to alleviate the problem. This in turn creates a division amongst the people living here.
I do know this, there are a few different groups of refugees arriving. From what I can tell, the mains ones are Syrian (which keep mostly to themselves) and those from Northern Africa. I don't think it is at a stage that is problematic in terms of numbers. Though it does seem to have changed (at least in my simple minded estimation) the demographics of the area. However slight, it does seem noticable at first glance. The problem is more with the tension it creates with the locals. And perhaps this is the point. This is the destabilization that keeps a place weak.
"destabilization that keeps a place weak."
Bingo.
So new US immigration policy is.
What an agenda.
Confused. Our travels were in southern Germany (Munich) as well as Vienna and Salzburg. We flew through Frankfurt, but never got out of the airport. We had been in Italy a couple of years ago (2013 I believe). We didn't make it to Naples, Rome being as far south as we got. While Rome seemed to have a few refugees back then, places like Florence, Milan and Venice had virtually none. I was rather shocked this time in Florence. While not nearly as teeming with refugees as Naples, there were still a pretty large number of them. Unlike Naples, these guys were mainly just peddling things like selfie sticks pretty much anywhere near tourist areas.
Honestly, I didn't see any refugees in Austria or Germany. It's possible they were there, but just not as obvious as in Italy.
there is open rioting in Calais on a weekly basis. there are so many migrants....in the thousands, the French have put them into a permenant camp called "the jungle". truck drivers are striking this week because immigrants are hijacking them. France is blaming English Marxists for radicallizing MENA migrants and threatening to stop any border controls on their end and just let them through to England. Just last week there was a mass rush against the chunnel to overwhelm the guards...hundreds of people at once. try reading the English papers occasionally. there is a big problem in europe. both internal immigration but especially from the lands the great nobel holder has been practicing his ideas of peace.
and that should tell you this author has missed the boat. ask, how could a relative nobody, obama, get a nobel by just walking into the job?
the fix was in. and whatever is happening to the rank and file europeans, it is occuring with the elites consent. just wait. the pressure will keep being built up until european citizens beg for Brussels to step in with a big government solution. which is probably the end game. there are already whispers of the EU needing an army of its very own.
Bullets, Maxipads, guns, hairnets, soldiers.
Europeans will weep with frustration at having to pay for their own army.
Mass, ritualistic slaughter. That's the end game here. The elites demand it. Everything else is just the pre-game hype.
Ask her how she like Munichistan, if she spent any time there.
One thing the phonies agreed on last night was the need for boosting the military so the USSA could do moar of this.
And Obama is doing what in Syria? Not having FUCKEN tea that's for sure.
It isn't reasonable to expect anything to change. The new boss will be the same as the old boss.
It's not a new boss,
It's a new messenger-boy.
They're all just messenger-boys.
The President is a waiter taking orders. The CIA, the Defense (War) Department, the State (War Department Annex) Department are in the kitchen filling the Oligarch's (Distributed faschist Führer's) orders. The military is in the fields and barns doing the slaughtering. They eat human flesh.
an errand boy....sent by grocery clerks.
As a candidate for President I too support a stronger US military (small "m"). I would like to propose a national program that includes, but is not necessarily limited to, minimum small arms proficiency training for all citizen with subsidized arms (like the Swiss) for each person who passes the training and carries no record of violent crime or severe mental illness. We can pay for this with the money saved from withdrawing our forces from around the the world beyond small numbers that allow our Military to learn and observe from them.
I will encourage each state to develop their militia. The money to pay for this can be raised by state taxes. Citizens pay less federal tax due to our cutting wasteful and ineffective national military programs like the F-35.
And so on...
The key to understanding US foreign policy is recognizing that destabilization is the goal. What appears to be incompetence is actually success.
Yes, and the key to that destabilization process resides well outside the walls of Congress or the Out House, with the likes of those with dual citizenships and a bent for PNAC-style world view and containment.
The British were absolute masters in the art of divide et impera
(divide and rule) goes back to Caesar's time!
America: "We will crush them with our legally addictive stimulants & our cheap hookers. Oh, I mean guns...oops!"
Umm, more like Tony Blair's, and the people he works for.
You can blame the people who push to implement it in positions of power, or you could blame the progentiors of that strategy that convince Obama and the rest of Europe.
Obama takes orders, just like Bush did.
I think they got that wrong. The European ruling class loves having the US Euro-wannabes do their dirty work for them. It allows them to pretend that they aren't the same batch of scheming nazi swine lording it over the peasantry which they used to be and still are in secret.
Oh, how they complain about the evil Yankee, but he's just a front man for their own deep-laid schemes. How this country would prosper if only we would get rid of our fixation upon all things European-- such as salesmen with British accents. This implies that they have a superior culture and are more trustworthy than some Alabama redneck or Kansas dirt farmer, when the exact opposite is true.
Give me some old-time rustic republican simplicity and away with all the fast-talking big city corruption that is poisoning our country and culture.
It is funny. The best performing salespeople I've ever worked with were english and australian.
"Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun."
Back to the bad old days?
The US saved Europe in WWII. Doesn't the US Gov't have the right to destroy it as repayment?
The US didnt save anyone, it just got used & financially raped like the rest of us....
Oh & sacrficed a sheetload of good young men so Jewish Zionist banksters could rob and enslave us all !!!
Benjamin H. Freedman 1961 speech, a zionist Jew who blew the whistle on the Zionists Bankers

The biggest and richest group of bankers, that most profited from Nazi Germany during World War 2, were the Jewish bankers of Switzerland!
no
The Soviet Union did all the hard work. US just waltzed in and pretended it was fighting the big fight. UK was largely irrelevant.
It was all by design to happen that way.
Soviets killed 20 million of their own citizens in the 1930's,
and lost millions more people in WW2.
How many of those Russian dead were of Christian heritage, and how many of those Russian dead were of Jewish heritage?
I don't know the answer, but the percentages of each group in Russia before the 1920's probably indicates most of the dead were of Christian heritage.
Banksters wanted to kill Russia, and at the same time divide Europe into East and West for the Cold War, and make Billions more dollars in profits from the Hot War and the Cold War.
Is it true the Banksters own all of the Armaments companies?
The "Soviets" were "Bolsheviks" and the Bolshevik was a Jewish movement. It did happen that Jews who were in the gulags were guarded, beaten and killed by other Jews so there was equal opportunity brutality to go around.
I'd be willing to wager that those being beaten were of the genetic stock of Judah, while thoe doing the beating were caucasian converts of Ashkenazi stock.
Just like in Euope.
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the hidden truth!!!!
US and UK did do the big fight. just not necessarily in the ways presented in the propaganda
While the Soviets should properly receive credit for stopping the Wehrmacht, the US deserves credit for turning the tide versus the Japanese. It was only with Stalin being able to strip his divisions protecting his ass on his Japanese border (hat-tip to effecitve espionage) that the tide against the Wehrmacht was turned. Had Japan attacked Russia in 1942, it would have been 'sayonara' to Stalin's regime. Hirohito was as insane in his Pacific ambition as Hitler was with his Barbarossa objectives. Had either Premier listened to their best generals, the 2 pivotal campaigns would never had been started. Man-for-man, the 'issen gorin' were as tough as the Landser, and had far fewer qualms with the (lack of) morality during war. While it cant be disputed that the Ost front casualties (soldier and citizen) were MUCH higher than the Pacific conflict, this fact was far more circumstantial than deliberate.
that Stalin was able to move his divisions from the Far East to the European war front was due in part to Richard Sorge, the brillant Soviet agent who worked as a journalist in Tokyo in WWII
You did(n't) re-build that.
This president is barely responsible for himself, let alone possessing the strategic mental horsepower the author ascribes to him. Jeezus...
"....far-rightwing fires of anti-immigrant rejectionism..."
Kremlin Hasbratrinas workin it. St. Petersburg or bust!
Harming its own vassals is not a good policy. It will backfire: a weak Europe is a weak empire. Unfortunately the agenda of the neocons is based on hate and greed. The american people will pay for all this, in the end.
What if the end of Imperial America is the plan all along?
"Libya has become Europe’s big problem. Millions of Libyans are fleeing the chaos there. Some of them are fleeing across the Mediterranean and ending up in refugee camps in southern Italy; and some are escaping to elsewhere in Europe."
ya, we sure "fixed" Libya for the Libyans'. They must fucking love ole Uncle Sham.
Same with Iraq
Same with Ukraine
Same with Syria
Bad Russia. Bad, Bad Russia...
Big Bad, bad Russia.
For fucks sake is it any wonder why we're universally hated all over the world?
Yeah no shit. The world might actually like the US if we would just bring all our troops home from every place they are deployed, and we quit stiring up the shit every where.
Peace sells... but who's buying?
If we brought home all of our troops what would happen to freedom and democracy? That is the basis for everything we do wrapped up in red, white and blue. These words could be a song....sung by Rosie O'Donnel?
Wonder, most lame assed Merikans don't even realize that they are hated around the world. there too fn busy eating a cheesburger, or using that there EBT card. or driving there big truck.
Yes, some one please tell them Yes, Yes, You are hated around the world. I will not be a tourist in your country you dont deserve any of my money.
Soon the world will shun the US $$, that is how you beat them, use any other currency other than the dollar. send all of those US$ back to the US.
Spread the news.
My in-laws overseas already sold all of their Treasuries years ago.
We're at the top of the bubble; rates cannot go lower. It's one bag you don't want to be left holding when the bottom finally falls out.
Off-Gardian news... ok, thats got cred out the wazoo. Give us a break, Shamus. Obama can't even get the repubicans to do anything.
its the mic, not obooze
Wow lets cheer for Asaad the butcher of 200,000 of his own people starting long before ISIS. Next lets cheer for Putin the new wannabe Stalin who has invaded his neighbors murdered oposition leaders wiped out press freedom all in a vain attempt to restore the brutal Communist style dictatorship that was hated and impoverished the great Russian people. Pathetic.
Really? 200,000? ? If this is based on research by the Syrian Network for Human Rights then it must be double plus good true!
I hereby declare Assad to be the "next Hitler" and "the root of all evil".
I got a nice shiny ASE says the "Moderate Rebels" aka ISIS have killed more Syrians in the last 2 years then in all the previous 20 years of the Assad regime.
O, and Putin is nowhere near the incompetence, or brutality level of Stalin. Attacks like this only serve to dimish what little credibility you might have on the subject.

Can't lose what you never had.
which opposition leaders are you talking about? the ones murdered by the ukrainians? ....give some examples please.
theeseer - which government agency do you work for?
NGO more like it.
Polly wanna cracker?
Optimism can be found in the fact that the Central Planners that used to control Global markets can no longer control them whatsoever. American Hegemony is dead, but bureaucrats in the United States Government don't know what they are doing so they are grasping at straws wherever hey can find them. Soon the bureaucrats will understand that there is no possible way that they will be able to survive given the numbers they are faced with. Frankly one cannot ignore what is happening mathematically, or in terms of Probability.
unfortunately, the real Masters of the Universe are thoroughly insulated from their political puppets and the bureaucratic machines they operate. watch as the elites roast their marshmellows over the burning fires of the central planners office furniture while bad mouthing the very system they had built and orchestrated.
out of the rubble the elites will be the ones declaring that democracy, free markets, socialism, freedom, individuality were all at fault. next time you need to give us all the power to get it right.
I'm not sure it will end this way. perhaps the guitine will come to pay a visit to the elite.
