Buiter: Migrant Crisis "May Signal The Beginning Of The End" For EU

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Earlier this month, in a call that grabbed headlines across the mainstream financial media, Citi chief economist Willem Buiter made “some kind of recession” his team’s base case scenario for the next two years.

The rationale: China mainly, and EM more broadly. The solution: why, “helicopter money” of course. 

Unfortunately for the EU - which Buiter says is laboring under “already excessive public debt and the pro-cyclical nature of the constraints imposed by the Stability and Growth Pact and its myriad offspring” - member countries now face a growing problem that can’t be immediately “fixed” by cranking up the printing presses, namely, an influx of asylum seekers fleeing Syria’s four-year civil war. 

As documented in these pages extensively, Europe’s migrant crisis threatens to undermine the spirit of the Schengen Agreement and the events that unfolded on Hungary’s border with Serbia over the past week presage what may be in store for the region should recalcitrant nations refuse to comply with the quotas Brussels wants to enforce in an effort to settle hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers. 

As Slovakia put it earlier this week, if Germany attempts to use its financial leverage to force other nations to take on migrants, it would “bring the end of the EU.” We’ve also warned that any effort on the part of Berlin to impose its will risks fanning the flames not only of nationalism but of religious intolerance, especially given the likelihood that those opposed to settling the migrants will be predisposed to stirring up fears of ISIS operatives slipping into Europe disguised as refugees.

Willem Buiter apparently agrees with all of the above.

In an interview with RIA Novosti, Buiter expressed concern that the strain imposed by the steady flow of migrants threatens to tear the EU apart at the seams. Here’s more, via Sputnik:

The current refugee crisis is putting the EU’s fundamental principles on the line and may become the beginning of the end of the 28-nation association, Citigroup’s chief economist warned.

 

“The refugee crisis is undermining the EU’s fundamental principle of free cross-border movement within the Union… This is effectively throwing the EU’s very future in question,” Willem Buiter, global chief economist at Citigroup, told RIA Novosti news agency on Wednesday.

 

He said that even though some countries were introducing temporary entry bans in a bid to tackle “a huge humanitarian crisis, they may eventually become permanent not only for the  migrants but for EU residents as well.”

 

“This may signal the beginning of the end, the stakes are extremely high,” he warned.

 

Willem Buiter believes that the current refugee crisis could shift European policy towards “radicalization, xenophobia and nationalism,” which would have an immediate negative effect on their economies.

 

“Western Europe is much better off than the East European countries as it is more experienced in dealing with immigration-related issues which are a real problem for countries like Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania, which  have never had to deal with massive inflows of migrants. This is a big challenge to them,” Buiter said.

We leave you with the following video from the Croatian border with Serbia which has become the choke point for the Balkan route to Germany:

Noticed yet that the propaganda photos have women and children only in the front row, with everyone following being a military-age male?

 

And also that the corporate-globalist media seems to have an uncanny knack for picking out guys to interview who all claim to be engineers and architects?

After Katrina, we hosted an older man from New Orleans in our home for a couple of months.  He swam, waded, and walked out, then got on one of the first relief buses to the Astrodome, literally with only the clothes he was wearing.  When I went down there to see if anyone wanted to stay with us, it was almost exclusively adult males.  Mr. B was a retired janitor.

That was an incredibly rewarding experience for our family.

Maybe the women and children are slower refugees?

I think anyone with half-a-brain would want to get out of the hell that we have created in Syria...man, woman, or child.

There are legitmate refugees. This is certain. And of course the press photographers only take photos of women and children. Why? Because that makes everyone warm and fuzzy. Or in this case, concerned and open to help.

I think it is great that you were able to help someone. Not everyone is looking for a handout as many posters here seem to think. My experience here with refugees has been mixed. But it doesnt change my opinion that there are people who really need the help.

Hedge, moved to the Great State 20 years ago from the deep south.  Never leaving.

I have to agree with the previous comment.  Whenever someone went on crowing about how Christian they were and going to church twice a week, I knew I probably couldn't trust them fully.  Every time I was in a deal with a loud proclaimer of the faith, they would always try to retrade a deal, or screw me in some other way, if not generally just outright lie about things. 

I am a Christian, but I believe actions speak louder than words.  We don't go around bragging about volunteering at the church or donating free time and effort to doing things for the women's shelter or charities in town, we just do it.

We used to joke:  How do you tel the difference between a catholic and a baptist?  The catholic will say " Hi" to you coming out of the liquor store.  Catholics and baptists on both sides of my family. 

The above joke actually happened with an avowed baptist teetotaler I knew.  They could never look me in the eye again, since I knew the dirty secret that they liked a little bourbon once in a while.

Hedgeless, I'm a Christian too but what we are witnessing regarding current global migration patterns, is basically Satanic in origin imo.

This is not a mass opportunity to show Christian kindness and charity (although we still would in most any one on one situation, wouldn't we?) this is the over-running of the remnant Christian West...

Maybe you feel it's phrophesy and so don't/won't/can't resist....

I think we ARE witnessing the handiwork of Satan's little helper's and the attempted creation of a One World government...whether or not that presages "The Tribulations" "The Rapture" The "Anti-Christ" or any of that, I don't know or care... I feel impelled to resist, for what it's worth

Remnant is correct.  There aren't very many Christians left in Europe to be overrun.  The Christian churches in Western Europe are EMPTY.  There may well be more practicing Christians in the Middle East.

Do you not believe that God has a plan?

Do you not believe that Jews, Christians, and Muslims all pray to the same God?  The God of Abraham?

Or maybe 80%+ of the "refugees" ares male between the ages of 18 to 40. What kind of a "man" allows his wife and family to trek on foot and over water from Syria to Germany unaccompanied by him? Especially given that there are plenty of safe zones in the area such as Turkey and parts of Iraq. This is an invasion pure and simple that has no correlation to your single retired janitor from th same country and culture

A single man, or an orphan, or someone that sent the family away when this hell started years ago?

However, you may be right.  If I was a Syrian man, I would sure want to go get some retribution for the destruction of my nation.  What kind of a "man" allows his wife and family and nation to be destroyed and doesn't want retribution?

Maybe the Syrians will stop fighting each other and start fighting others.

Somebody give them a map to Riyadh, DC, Brussels, and Doha.

Real men want solutions that will help both their families and country and not wandering about the globe looking for some pay back especially considering the real enemy is right down the road in Isreal. But thanks for making my point that the current crop of deadwood washing up on the shores of Europe are nothing but a two legged biological invasion force both sent and hell bent on destroying Europe.

From what I have read, Saudi Arabia's Wahhabism doesn't coincide with the type of Islam practiced in Syria. For us Westerners, it is easy to see Islam as one big religion. They likely have (like Christianity) various subdivisions and if you add to that the whole ethnic mess (Sunni vs Shia) it probably compares with sending Mormons to the Westboro Baptist Church.

trump may ride the immigration debate to the white house. people can say what they want about him, but we wouldn't even be talking about immigration if it weren't for him. this shit in europe is getting out of control and now obama is bringing 10,000 syrians who we have no clue of who they are here. our southern border is a fucking mess. wages stagnant and under obama, we've swapped 1.4 million manufacturing jobs for 1.4 million bartender, waiters. nothing wrong with being a bartender, waiter - i did it all thru college & grad school. but its meant to be a stepping stone, not a career-switch-to.

$19 trillion in debt and trump HAMMERED the other candidates who want open borders + allowing pregnant women to come here & give birth, then we pay for the kid from cradel-to-grave. hell, el chapo's pregnant wife came here & gave birth. the kate stenie story has conviently been scrubbed off the MSNs, CNNs like a hillary server. i give credit where its due ... bill oreilly - he is on a crusade scanning police blotters around the country on a daily basis to point-out americans being killed by illegals. the stats are getting scarier. at least someone in the "mainstream news" is getting these stories out there and not just talking about "bridgegate" and all this other nonsense.

so not only are we paying for these people to come here illegally, but we're paying them to kill us. what are we supposed to do, say "thank you"? like trump said, we either have a country or we don't. someone's gotta getta handle on this thing and IMO trump is the only 1 with the balls to get it done.

Nah bru. There's nothing a market that's allowed to ostracize and segregate can't do. The reason this is a crisis is exactly because the state prevents people from doing so. That awkward moment when peole realize appartheid was to PREVENT violence between two cultures, not hold one or the other down...

But to your point, I do get why someone would want to "drop their ancap view", this is pretty overwhelming for an anarchist.

35 million. Does anyone actually believe this? Do you know how many people that is? This is taken out of context. 

For comparison, Canada is only about 35 million people and it is the 37th largest country in the world. Or it would be 12 million more people than currently live in Syria.

When they don't have to actually do anything they feel good about themselves saying "we must do something".

It is LEGAL immigration that is killing America, not illegal bad as that is...

Review of 'The Culture of Critique'

Prof. MacDonald argues that it is entirely natural for Jews to promote open immigration. It brings about the "diversity" Jews find comforting and it keeps America open to persecuted co-religionists throughout the world. He says Jews are the only group that has always fought for mass immigration; a few European ethnic organizations have made sporadic efforts to make it easier for their own people to come, but only Jews have consistently promoted open borders for all comers. Moreover, whatever disagreements they may have had on other issues, Jews of every political persuasion have favored high immigration.
This, too, goes back many years, and Prof. MacDonald traces in considerable detail the sustained Jewish pro-immigration effort. Israel Zangwill, author of the eponymous 1908 play The Melting Pot, was of the view that "there is only one way to World Peace, and that is the absolute abolition of passports, visas, frontiers, custom houses ... " He was nevertheless an ardent Zionist and disapproved of Jewish intermarriage.

Although the Statue of Liberty, properly known as Liberty Enlightening the World, was a gift to the United States from France as a tribute to American political traditions, the sonnet by the Jewish Emma Lazarus helped change it into a symbol of immigration. Affixed to the base of the statue several decades after its construction, the poem welcomes to America "huddled masses yearning to breathe free / The wretched refuse of your teeming shore."

Prof. MacDonald has discovered that implausible arguments about diversity being a quintessentially American strength have been made by Jews for a long time. He reports that in 1948 the American Jewish Committee was urging Congress to believe that "Americanism is the spirit behind the welcome that America has traditionally extended to people of all races, all religions, all nationalities." Of course, there had never been such a tradition. In 1952, the American Jewish Congress argued in hearings on immigration that "our national experience has confirmed beyond a doubt that our very strength lies in the diversity of our peoples." This, too, was at a time when U.S. immigration law was still explicitly designed to maintain a white majority.

It is often said that when the old immigration policy was scrapped in 1965, scarcely anyone knew, and no one predicted, that the new law would change the racial makeup of the country. Prof. MacDonald disputes this, arguing that this had been the objective of Jewish groups from the beginning.

Prof. MacDonald finds that Jews have been the foremost advocates of immigration in England, France, and Canada, and that Jewish groups were the most vocal opponents of independence for Quebec. Australian Jews led the effort to dismantle the "white Australia" policy, one reason for which was cited in an editorial in the Australian Jewish Democrat, Miriam Faine, an editorial committee member of the Australian Jewish Democrat: "The strengthening of multicultural or diverse Australia is also our most effective insurance policy against anti-Semitism. The day Australia has a Chinese Australian Governor General I would feel more confident of my freedom to live as a Jewish Australian." Like Earl Raab writing about the United States, this Australian Jew is prepared to sacrifice the traditional culture, people, and identity of Australia to specifically Jewish interests.

Immigration becomes a problem once a country has a freeloader social welfare system.  Before that, simply screening of immigrants for diseases or criminal background was enough.  They were allowed in to make their own way and fended for themselves .  Once the social system was enacted they began to take away from the citizens and naturalized citizens.

The Eastern European countries have not been sufficiently propagandized thru the schools and brainwashed by the media in order to achieve the genocide of whites in Eastern Europe via mass Muslim immigration.  It is simply dead on arrival.  Not going to happen.  All of these nations will leave the E.U., Schengen zone, and Euro currency (for the few that have adopted it).

Mark my words.  Germany may be a suicide cult of childless short haired fat old women with small dogs as housepets but Poland and the other Eastern nations will not accept this.  Their populations are younger, they still aren't ruined by feminism, white women are still breeding, and the people still have hope for a better future.

namely, an influx of asylum seekers fleeing Syria’s four-year civil war.

I am tired of this lie! Yes, it is a lie wrapped in a small wrapping of truth. Indeed, some Syrian refugees in number are racing to Europe. BUT! The majority a economic migrants from all across North Africa, and Central Africa. From the Horn of Africa. From Pakistan. From Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon. Most are single young men eager to get a foothold in the EU benefits system, to get a white girlfriend to lock in their citizenship and have a baby with a white girl to lock in benefits for life.

This LIE that this is a Syrian migration is just plain false! It is one of earth's largest male migrations ever recorded. Never have so many young single males moved at once to one place. No women, no children, no old people.

One Afghan interview on RT today said "He go Germany, he go get education, education not good where he come from. Germany he get economics masters degree, there he get what educatio he want from german."

Let me translate for you "I am a fuckign greedy, lazy cunt. I come to live off of German benefits, and to protest my bad treatment by germans who don't give me enough free shit. I am going to sell drugs and fuck white girls. Because whtie girls are the stupidist life form on earth. They all look for blacks and Arbas to fuck them. I gonna Party Like Good Times are Here!"

So now to find out who was most likely paying these trafficking coyotes on top of the money they were receiving from the people they were trafficking.  Then of course we will find out down the road what portion of them are actually ISIS or other paid terrorists.
