Migrant Crisis Sparks Balkan Border Battles As EU Buckles Under Overwhelming Refugee Flow
When last we checked in on Europe’s worsening migrant crisis, Brussels had just approved a plan which aims to settle some 120,000 asylum seekers by way of a mandatory quota system. Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania were opposed which, as WSJ noted, “sets the stage for intensified friction within the bloc over the contentious issue.”
To be sure, calling the crisis a “contentious issue” is something of an understatement. The massive people flows stemming from Syria’s protracted civil war threaten to tear the EU apart just months after fraught negotiations with Greece over the country’s third bailout program very nearly ended in the conclusive debunking of the euro indissolubility thesis.
The Balkans have become the frontlines of the crisis as refugees make their way north to the German “promised land” where cold beer and Merkel selfie photo ops beckon. Unfortunately (if you’re a fleeing migrant), Serbia, Croatia, and especially Hungary aren’t excited about being used as a kind of migrant superhighway and once the number of refugees streaming across its southern border became too much to bear, Hungary built a 100-mile razor wire fence. Of course when you’re fleeing bullets, barrel bombs, and sword-wielding jihadists, a 12 foot high fence isn’t much of a deterrent and so some refugees attempted to test Hungarian premier Viktor Orban’s resolve by demanding to be let through. Here’s what happened next:



Thankfully (because otherwise the situation could have quickly escalated from water cannons to actual cannons) there are other ways to get to Germany, and once it became clear that Hungary was fully prepared to turn its border with Serbia into a warm April night in Baltimore in order to defend Europe’s “Christian heritage” (to quote Orban), refugees simply rerouted through Croatia. Serbia has facilitated this noting that it simply does not have the resources to accommodate the migrants and even if it did, they do not want to settle in Serbia in the first place. Once Slovenia said it wouldn’t be a part of a migrant "corridor" to Germany, the stage was set for migrants to zigzag from Hungary’s border with Serbia into Croatia, and then back into Hungary.

Predictably, the border control situation is getting tense in the Balkans and now, diplomatic relations in the region are deteriorating rapidly. Here’s AFP with more:
Croatia sought to ease tensions with its former foe Serbia Friday after the EU's powerful executive intervened in a bitter row sparked by Europe's worst refugee crisis in decades.
Both countries -- former enemies in the 1990s war following the breakup of Yugoslavia -- have been embroiled in tit-for-tat restrictions caused by the human exodus washing through the Balkans.
Croatia closed all but one of its border crossings with Serbia and blamed Belgrade for diverting an unrelenting flow of migrants towards its frontier.
In Brussels, the European Commission said it was "urgently seeking clarifications" from Croatia, prompting Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic to announce he planned to remove border restrictions with Serbia shortly.
"I'm holding intensive talks with my colleagues to remove today or tomorrow the measures that we had to introduce," Milanovic told reporters.
Official figures showed some 55,000 refugees had entered Croatia over nine days, including nearly 8,500 just on Thursday.
The huge influx started when Hungary sealed its border with Serbia to prevent refugees from using the country as a thoroughfare to western Europe.
The closure prompted the migrants to divert their route through Croatia instead, which was quickly overwhelmed.
Zagreb now buses a large majority of the migrants straight to the border with Hungary, and Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Friday Budapest eventually planned to seal its border with Croatia too.
"The influx of migrants is not going to abate... We want to stop people crossing," Orban told reporters in Vienna after a meeting aimed at smoothing over differences with Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann.
"Introducing the border protection to Serbia has met expectations. Our duty is to make it happen on the Hungarian-Croatian border as well," he said.
On Friday evening, Croatia relented (via ABC):
Serbia's prime minister, speaking after an emergency government session, says Serbia will "absolutely" lift its embargo on Croatian goods.
Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic made the comments Friday night to Croatian state TV after Croatia decided to reopen its main cargo border crossing with Serbia. The two Balkan neighbors had feuded for a week over how to handle an enormous surge of migrants crossing their territories, and the closure of the border was costing each dearly.
Vucic said "the decision of Croatian government is good."
Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic said he lifted the border blockade but warned he could reinstate it if Serbia keeps on busing migrants to the Croatian border instead of sending some of them to Hungary.
But it's not entirely clear why Milanovic thinks "sending some of them to Hungary" is an option. Indeed, Viktor Orban has now moved to fence off its border not only with Serbia, but also with Croatia and, notably, with fellow Schengen passport-free travel zone member Slovenia. Here's WSJ:
Hungary’s prime minister on Friday defended his country’s contentious efforts to fence off its border with Croatia, insisting it has an obligation to stem the tide of migrants in order to protect the European Union’s cherished document-free travel zone.
The migrant crisis has raised hackles among countries that share borders and sparked warnings that the bloc may not be able to hold on to it its cornerstone policy of free travel, known as the Schengen agreement.
Hungary is a member of the Schengen zone, as are most EU countries; fellow EU member Croatia isn’t.
Budapest has taken the toughest stance in the EU in its dealings with refugees. Depicting himself as a protector of the free travel policy, Mr. Orban insisted he was legally mandated to make sure that migrants didn’t get through so that other borders—particularly with Austria—wouldn’t have to be closed.
The crisis has sparked a domino effect of border closures, mutual finger pointing and efforts to pass on the burden of the migrant flow, with Hungary emerging as a focal point.
The fence with Croatia is an extension of one already finished along Hungary’s border with non-EU member Serbia. It is designed to reduce the influx of people, now hitting 8,000 to 10,000 people a day, most coming via Croatia in the hopes of reaching Western Europe.
Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic has said the fence “is something that needs to be torn down.”
Croatia has given up on fingerprinting or registering migrants, and buses them to its border with Hungary, which then transports them to places close to the Austrian border. They can cross on foot or after a short train ride.
Austria has complained that it is overwhelmed, and its relationship with Hungary has soured in recent weeks. Mr. Faymann has harshly criticized Budapest for what he said was Hungary’s mistreatment of migrants.
Hungary is also in the process of extending it on its border with EU member Romania, which is also outside the Schengen zone.
Another neighbor, Slovenia, has been methodical in letting in only those in who register, resulting in much lower migrant entries there. Hungary is preparing to erect a temporary fence “which could be dismantled in a day” on its border with Slovenia, but only if Slovenia—a Schengen member—agrees to that, Mr. Orban said.
So there you have it. Schengen is officially a thing of the past and the fingerpointing in the Balkans is escalating quickly.
Needless to say, none of this bodes well for the hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the war-torn Middle East for Western Europe. Even if most EU governments publicly support the effort to relocate Syrian refugees, the increasingly contentious situation in the Balkans may well serve to negatively influence public opinion. That is, if heart-wrenching images of drowned toddlers increasingly give way to pictures of young Arab men scaling border fences and hurling rocks at riot police, European voters may begin to reassess their accommodative position. That, combined with the fact that Brussels has now commited to forcing recalcitrant countries to settle migrants against their will, sets the stage for what could turn out to be a dangerous bout of scapegoating xenophobia. We've warned on this repeatedly and this is one instance where we certainly hope we do not get the opportunity to say "we told you so."

As the khazars laugh their shriveled scrotums off...
Zionist Jew Barbara Lerner Specter promoting multiculturalism in Europe because Europe cannot survive as the monolithic societes they once were:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFE0qAiofMQ
Babs, you cunt, European societes will not survive if they are manipultaed by Zionists to allow themselves to be overrun by muslim hoardes. Look what happened to Russia when the mongols invaded, the society went from a people who refused to accept slavery and outside control to one of compliance.
Save Europe, force these invading hordes back into Syria and and onward toward Zionist Israel. Let them fight and burn the whole fucking place to the ground, and kill their entire cultures with it.
wow sick mind reveals the entire jewish connection straight from the horses mouth. had to deny whats happening has a cause and a powerful force behind it and it has a purpose to destroy europe for europeans.

It isn't a "migrant crisis."
It is a ****ing INVASION.
So you mean the French won't win this one, either? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Those cheap-ass Euro-fags. You guys take 30 million and then we'll talk about who's the bigger philanthropist.
This is a good chance for these countries (if they are having second thoughts about having joined the EU and don't have a gun to their heads) to tell the EU to go fuck itself. These "threats" out of Brussels about holding back funding, etc., to these countries which are fed up with the migrant bull shit is empty talk. If they called the EU's bluff, the slimy EU bureaucrats would be beside themselves.
Do you suppose any of those 'refugees' could actually be jihadists?
It's possible, sure, but unfortunately, we might not know until it's too late.
what are you talking about? we already know
It's interesting to see how anxious Moslims are to get dental care.
Most people I know don't like going to the dentist.
well, let's see, some significant percentage is a) Male (never mind the gender pukes), b) between the ages of x and y (kinda' the physical goodness zone for military service) and c) come from <<your country here>>

It has to be good if the hate group SPLC doesn't like it.
I no nothing of Camp of the Saints, but do not blindly assume the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Great. Anything that damages the Evil EU Empire is a good and worthy thing.
So how will Germany afford these invaders when the same State Dept (Fu*k the EU!) zios are attacking the German car companies?
Cars and trucks are the biggest business in Germany and have helped create a high standard of living. The Germans better wake up.
Every 70 to 80 years the German people are attacked and murdered by these same chosenite banksters. It has been going on for centuries.
But the Pope sayz we can do this!
Its all good!
God is on our side!
Il Papa says we can do something about "climate change" (née, global warming), too. That guy's is a commie pinko, period, I don't care if he's wearing a funny hat or not.
You should care about that funny hat, the latin, the appeal to archaic authority ( Julian Jaynes, anyone?), the ritual, the mesmerization. The rituals of the Pope are not any different from the rituals of the Fed. (Obey, and you shall suffer...)
I already have to obey. It says so on every dollar bill.
"Lemmy," pls exchange your dollar bills for money.
I'm open to suggestions for any other reserve currencies out there.
My suggestion, then, is per Article V to outlaw non-money.
From Global Research, a very good website:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/washingtons-pope-who-is-francis-i-cardinal-...
Who is Pope Francis?
"Pope Francis is said to have brought “Liberation Theology into the Vatican”, in the footsteps of Francis of Assisi. While highlighting his commitment to peace and social justice, the Western media fail to mention that Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis I) has been a staunch supporter of US imperial interests in Latin America for more than 30 years."
The Poop needs to quit wearing dresses,
and get a job. Weasels and parasites are great philanthropists, until they run out of our money.
Again and as always, the perennial duel of history is Plato vs. Aristotle ( Leonard Peikoff, anyone?).
Bad premises cause Dark Ages
Good premises cause Enlightment.
Yes and interestingly Vatican City allows very little immigration.
the church is always pro stupid masses the more the better, we would still be in the dark ages if it were up to the churches of the world.
AGREED! ..and here is why.
PLATO, 370ish bc, establishes his theory or Forms. The theory states that the explanation for all of the particular/perceptual things that exist is that they do exist because of a universal/conceptual "thing" that casts its likeness upon them.
CHURCH, centuries later, establishes plato's theory as dogma. The universal/concept, of being (God) casts its likeness upon the particular/perception (Man).
Aristotle, 350ish bc, indentifies that Fact trounces Theory everytime and by his First Philosophy (Metaphysics) proves that Plato's contradictions are "useless talk."
"we would still be in the dark ages if it were up to the churches of the world."
Dear ZH regular,
I could go on and on and unfortunately often do, but please proliferate HOW/WHY/AND FROM WHOM civilization found the light. Please...
It was a very long 1,500 hundred year journey and ultimately the church did ban by punishment of death that the University of Paris not teach Aristotle's Metaphysics (early 13th century). THIS is what the inquisition was all about. HERESY, it was to teach logic.
The Renaissance was a re-birth of Aristotle and a fist in the face to Plato, on both cheeks!
(See The Aristotle Adventure for the scribe's history of The Master of Them that Know, by Burgess Laughlin.)
One man that made a big difference was Martin Luther.
Another was Gutenberg.
Both men and deeds were associated with the church.
Bad things happened.
Improvement followed.
----------
Say, what happened to those Grecian city states after those guys debated? Oh, the enlightened ones fell down, never to get up again.
----------
How about the age of enlightenment? Lots of good things there no doubt. 200,000 French dead in the revolution where the enlightened aetheists beheaded people because they didn't believe the same things. Napolean came to power threw Europe into massive wars that spanned the globe? 400,000 of Europes finest men dead in Russia as a result.
----------
Aetheists eh? Yeah, like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and a whole host of people responsible for 100,000,000 dead in the past century. Probably would be more but we can only count the ones who made it pretty obvious what their beliefs were, versus a Truman who claimed to be a baptist.
----------
Blaming religion for your and the world's problems is about as intellectually enlightened as fighting a war on terror. You really want to start a war with another idea or tactic? Wouldn't you prefer to admit to yourself that the problem is bad people doing bad things and being allowed to get away with it by good people doing nothing?
Probably not. Then you would have to take some responsibility and either atone for your failures or take action to prevent them. Oh well.
This should not be taken as a defense of the Vatican or their church. I have never liked catholicism and never will.
Good! It's about time!
Let the Pope take the first 10,000 to Vatican City.
The Catholic Church has vast wealth, let it put its money where it's mouth is regarding the poor and oppressed...
http://www.infowars.com/vatican-has-strictest-immigration-policy-in-the-...
There was another link on Drudge today as well. Fair and balanced, LOL.
Is the Vatican part of the EU? Don't they want to be subject to the will of other countries?
Is this today's silly right-wing media meme? Vatican City is like 100 acres and is one of the most densely-inhabited places on Earth, with maybe 1000 inhabitants? I'm seeing "Vatican City Immigration" all over the web today, so one of those radio trolls must have gone off about it, without, of course mentioning how tiny the Vatican really is, and their audiences no more the wiser, of course.
Now, yes, the Catholic Church should be putting a lot more of it's money where it's mouth, and supposedly heart, are.
How many Syrian "refugees" are now residing in the Vatican?
Is the end result of this encouraged invasion going to be tons of immigrants hitting Russia's western territories?
The Russians learned a hard lesson way back in WWII, when they first greeted their would-be German conquerors as liberators. I think they know better now. Much better.
Mandella Necklaces are metastisizing into northern europe.

Multicultural. The way to go! It brings diversity. It does. Some countries had only years of peace and tranquility. Now they have lots more than peace: financial problems, riots, arguments, in the street face-offs, issues with religion, language barriers, all kinds of fun multi-cultural stuff.
And don't forget the stories out of Scandanavia where rapes are "justified" (or, shall we say, de-criminalized) because of a woman's clothing.

Saudia Arabia accepts 0 Syrian refugees. No one even tries to persuaide them to to accept even the Syrian Muslem's. I know of nothing good that ever came from the middle east.
I wonder how many Palestinian "refugees" the House of Saud took in, too.
Maybe they'll enlist with Assad when they get hungry.
I think the Pope, being the concerned fellow that he is, ought to throw open Vatican City to these savage beasts.

And flooding Europe with non-Europeans - non-christians, is another long standing goal.... Jewish eschatology isn't really about equality and such...
in fact its the opposite - as a few learned rabbis have felt comfy enough to say
Gentiles Exist Only To Serve Jews, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef Says
http://failedmessiah.typepad.com/failed_messiahcom/2010/10/gentiles-exis...
Of course, for Tarabel et al - it is "anti-Semitic" to point out Jewish HATE and SUPREMACISM....
While logically incoherent, part of JEWISH PRIVILEGE is being able to Orwellize events to preserve the "icon" of the Jew as Eternal Sacred Victim.
So bombing schools and hospitals and fleeing crowds is "defending" oneself from rockets that killed all of 3 people, and were fired *AFTER* numerous killings and arrests without charge by the IOF.
In fact, while it is illegal to have a nativity scene by itself on public ground, it's okay for Jews to put up menorahs all over NYC and DC - apparently as part of the shell game of Jewish identity, they have claimed that the menorah is not religious but cultural and historical.
One wonders how Purim and Passover are either religious or historical - given that neither happened.

http://www.apocalypse-soon.com/jewish_eschatology.htm
Jewish eschatology is concerned with Mashiach (the Jewish Messiah) the continuation of the Davidic line, and Olam Haba (Hebrew for "the world to come"; i.e. the afterlife).
Mashiach/Messiah
The Hebrew word Mashiach (or Moshiach) means anointed one, and refers to a mortal human being. Within Judaism, the Mashiach is a human being who will be a descendant of King David continuing the Davidic line, and who will usher in a messianic era of peace and prosperity for Israel and all the nations of the world. The job description, as such, is this:
All of the people of Israel will come back to Torah
The people of Israel will be gathered back to the land of Israel.
The Holy Temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt.
Israel will live free among the nations, and will have no need to defend herself.
War and famine will end, and an era of peace and prosperity will come upon the Earth.
The traditional Jewish understanding of the messiah is non-supernatural, and is best elucidated by Maimonides (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon), in his commentary to tractate Sanhedrin, of the Babylonian Talmud. He writes:
"The Messianic age is when the Jews will regain their independence and all return to the land of Israel. The Messiah will be a very great king, he will achieve great fame, and his reputation among the gentile nations will be even greater than that of King Solomon. His great righteousness and the wonders that he will bring about will cause all peoples to make peace with him and all lands to serve him.... Nothing will change in the Messianic age, however, except that Jews will regain their independence. Rich and poor, strong and weak, will still exist. However it will be very easy for people to make a living, and with very little effort they will be able to accomplish very much.... it will be a time when the number of wise men will increase...war shall not exist, and nation shall no longer lift up sword against nation.... The Messianic age will be highlighted by a community of the righteous and dominated by goodness and wisdom. It will be ruled by the Messiah, a righteous and honest king, outstanding in wisdom, and close to God. Do not think that the ways of the world or the laws of nature will change, this is not true. The world will continue as it is. The prophet Isaiah predicted "The wolf shall live with the sheep, the leopard shall lie down with the kid." This, however, is merely allegory, meaning that the Jews will live safely, even with the formerly wicked nations. All nations will return to the true religion [monotheism, although not necessarily Judaism] and will no longer steal or oppress. Note that all prophecies regarding the Messiah are allegorical - Only in the Messianic age will we know the meaning of each allegory and what it comes to teach us. Our sages and prophets did not long for the Messianic age in order that they might rule the world and dominate the gentiles....the only thing they wanted was to be free for Jews to involve themselves with the Torah and its wisdom."
This principle is accepted by Orthodox Jews. Conservative Jews vary in their beliefs, some affirming a personal messiah, while others affirm a messianic era. "We do not know when the Messiah will come, nor whether he will be a charismatic human figure or is a symbol of the redemption of humankind from the evils of the world. Through the doctrine of a Messianic figure, Judaism teaches us that every individual human being must live as if he or she, individually, has the responsibility to bring about the messianic age. Beyond that, we echo the words of Maimonides based on the prophet Habakkuk (2:3) that though he may tarry, yet do we wait for him each day..." [Emet ve-Emunah: Statement of Principles of Conservative Judaism]
Reform Jews generally concur with this latter position; they are more likely to believe in a messianic era than a personal messiah. Reconstructionist Jews reject the idea that God can send a personal messiah or bring about a messianic age, but they do teach that man can use the power or process termed God to help bring about such a world.
Like Jews, Christians use the word "messiah" to refer to the Davidic king promised to Israel. However, Christians believe that the messiah has already appeared, and that he was Jesus of Nazareth. Since most Christians believe that Jesus was himself God incarnate, their understanding of the messiah as a Davidic king is often overshadowed by their understanding of Jesus as the revelation of God to humanity.
The afterlife and olam haba (the world to come)
Judaism concentrates on the importance of this world, the fact is that all of classical Judaism does posit an afterlife. The Jewish tradition affirms that the human soul is immortal, and thus in some way survives the physical death of the body. The existence of the soul after death is sometimes described with terms such as Olam Haba (the world to come), Gan Eden (the Heavenly Garden of Eden, or Paradise) and Gehenna (Purgatory).
According to Jewish tradition, the end of the world will see:
the ingathering of the scattered Jewish exiles to geographic Israel,
the defeat of all of Israel's enemies,
the building of the third Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and the resumption of the sacrificial offerings and Temple service,
the Revival of the Dead (techiat hameitim), or the Resurrection,
the Jewish Messiah become the anointed King of Israel.
He will divide the Jews in Israel into their original tribal portions in the land. During this time Gog, king of Magog, will attack Israel. Who Gog and the nation Magog are is not known yet. Magog will fight a great battle, in which many will die on both sides, but God will intervene and save the Jews. This is the battle referred to as Armageddon. God, having vanquished this final enemy once and for all, will accordingly banish all evil from human existence. After the year 6000 (in the Jewish calendar), the seventh millennium will be an era of holiness, tranquility, spiritual life, and worldwide peace, called the Olam Haba ("Future World"), where all people will know God directly.
It is worth noting that the Talmud, in the tractate Avodah Zarah, page 9A, states that this world as we know it will only exist for six thousand years:
"...The Tanna Debey Eliyahu taught: The world is to exist six thousand years; the first two thousand are to be "void" [of Torah], the next two thousand are the period of the Torah [from Abraham until the completion of the Mishna - the first part of the Talmud], and the following [last] two thousand are the period of the Messiah [i.e., the Messianic Age could commence during this time]; through our [the Jews'] sins a number of these [times for the Messiah's coming] have already passed [and the Messiah has not come yet]."
The end of the world is called the acharit hayamim (end of days), when tumultuous events will take place in the world overturning the old world order and creating a new order where God is recognized by every single individual as the God who rules over everyone and everything in the Universe. One of the sages of the Talmud says that "Let the end of days come, but may I not live to see them", because they will be filled with so much conflict and suffering.
However, many secular or liberal Jews would state that Judaism does not believe in an afterlife, or that it is a this-worldly religion which concentrates on the here and now.
While all classic rabbinic sources discuss afterlife for the soul, there is dispute among the classic Medieval scholars regarding the nature of existence in the "End of Days" after the messianic period. While Maimonidies describes an entirely spiritual existence of souls, which he calls "disembodied intellects," Nachmanidies discusses an intensely spiritual existence on Earth, where spirituality and physicality are merged. Both agree that life after death is as Maimonidies describes the "End of Days." This existence entails an extremely heightened understanding of and connection to the Divine Presence. This view is shared by all classic rabbinic scholars.
There is much rabbinic material on what happens to the soul of the deceased after death, what it experiences, and where it goes. At various points in the afterlife journey, the soul may encounter: Hibbut ha-kever, the pains of the grave; Dumah, the angel of silence; The angel of death; The Kaf ha-Kela, the catapult of the soul; Gehenna (purgatory); and Gan Eden (heaven or paradise). All classic rabbinic scholars agree that these concepts are beyond typical human understanding. Therefore, these ideas are expressed throughout rabbinic literature through many varied parables and analogies.
Gehenna is fairly well defined in rabbinic literature. It is sometimes translated as "hell", but one should note that the Christian view of hell is different from the Jewish view. For Christians, hell is an abode of eternal torment or separation from God, where serious sinners and/or non-Christians go (details vary among Christian denominations). In Judaism, gehenna - while certainly a terribly unpleasant place - is not hell. The overwhelming majority of rabbinic thought maintains that people are not tortured in gehenna forever; the longest that one can be there is said to be twelve months, with extremely rare exception. Some consider it a spiritual forge where the soul is purified for its eventual ascent to Gan Eden (heaven), where all imperfections are purged.
Support for an afterlife
The Tanakh speaks of several noteworthy people being "gathered to their people." See, for example, Genesis 25:8 (Abraham), 25:17 (Ishmael), 35:29 (Isaac), 49:33 (Jacob), Deuteronomy 32:50 (Moses and Aaron), 2 Kings 22:20 (King Josiah). This gathering is described as a separate event from the physical death of the body or the burial.
Certain sins are punished by the sinner being "cut off from his people." See, for example, Genesis 17:14 and Exodus 31:14. This punishment is referred to as kareit (literally, "cutting off," but usually translated as "spiritual excision"), and is traditionally understood to mean that the soul loses its portion in the afterlife, or "World to Come".
The Torah also prohibits contacting the spirit of the dead in Leviticus 19-20 and Deuteronomy 18, indicating that something of a person lives on after physical death. As well, Saul, in 1 Samuel 28:19, employs a sorceress to raise the spirit of the prophet Samuel who had died some time prior.
Job 19:26 has traditionally been considered a reference to the afterlife: "And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God". Other verses suggesting an afterlife include:
Isaiah 26:19 "Thy dead shall live, their bodies shall rise. O dwellers in the dust, awake and sing for joy!..."
Ecclesiastes 12:7 "Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it"
Perhaps the most explicit Biblical reference to an afterlife is found in the Book of Daniel:
Daniel 12:2 "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches and everlasting abhorrence."
The Jewish calendar (luach) functions completely on the assumption that time begins at the Creation of the world by God in Genesis. Many people (notably Conservative and Reform Jews and some Christians) think that the years of the Torah, or Jewish Bible, are symbolic. According to the ancient Jewish teachings continued by today's Orthodox Jews, the years are literal and consistent throughout all time, with 24 hours per day and 365 days per year. Appropriate calibrations are, of course, done with leap years, to account for the difference between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, since the Jewish calendar is based on both. Thus the year 2000 equals 5760 years since creation on the present Jewish calendar. According to this calculation, the end of days will occur in the year 2240.
In modern Judaism the return of Israel to its land, the coming of the Messiah, the resurrection of the dead, and everlasting retribution are still expected by the Orthodox, but the more liberal base the religious mission of Israel upon the regeneration of the human race and upon hope for immortal life independent of the resurrection of the body.
One group of Jews from the Chabad Lubavitch, one strand of Hasidic Judaism, believes that the Messiah has quite possibly arrived and begun his mission, and that it is their deceased Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, actually the Messiah in waiting. The defeat of Iraq by the United States Army during the Gulf War in 1990 - 1991, and the fact that Israel was not seriously harmed, was taken as a sign that the Messiah was at hand. This view was rejected by all other groups who still await the traditional "End of Days" as described in the writings of the Prophets of the Tanakh, the classic Jewish Bible.
Come on, man, I realize this isn't Twitter, but that post is WAY too big. Just post the link next time.
I'm sorry - you're right and I usually do - I forgot how long that actually was.

5 Eternal Victims with Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder envisioned a hypothetical scenario in the future resulting in them feeling stressed by this information.
"It is designed to reduce the influx of people, now hitting 8,000 to 10,000 people a day, most coming via Croatia in the hopes of reaching Western Europe."
Read that again. About 10,000 people a day are coming. Into the heart of Europe, its culture, its history, its political process, its liberal democracy. 10,000 a day with no context to understand let alone appreciate it. If 10,000 people were storming a gate into a kingdom, would that not be termed an invasion that required extraordinary measures to turn it back? Why is it different when they come by train and walk the roads? When it is not 10,000 but 10,000 each day?
This is not multiculturalism, this is not even dilution of European culture. It is the overnight annihilation of white European values by the poison in our midst we call " political leadership."
Heads, meet pike. Time to give the vultures somethng to cheer about.

And guess what - the attack on the USS Liberty wasn't a fucking accident, either.
Correcting the article, this mass movement of people has only a marginal connection to the events in Syria. 80% of the invaders are not Syrian, according to the EU (which has every reason to claim they're all Syrian).
Why not just draft all these invaders into the Anti-ISIS Army, train and equip them, then ship them back to the Middle East to fight ISIS ?
These cowards should make their own country worth living in instead of running away to ruin other peoples' countries.

Isn't it ironic that the most prosperous "Soviet satellite" economy that we "balkanized" 20 years ago is getting a second helping from the motherfuckers in the MIC in Washington, London and Tel Aviv.
'The only thing I have to say to the government in Croatia and Serbia... The same cocksuckers that fucked you in the ass wearing American Army uniforms the last time are giving you a second helping cause you didn't obey enough the last time!...
Watch out for the 18 to 30 somethings the majority of whicht is pouring through your country that don't have family with them and sound or look like they come from Syria, Libya, Iraq that are "made in Tel Aviv, London and Washington"!
the next great genocide commited by jews
with the duplicitous American whore on all fours ready, willing and able to do anything and everything the "alchemist of paper" tells it to do!...
You U.S. military cocksuckers in uniform must be proud to take a "load" of Zionist spluge like no otherr!
Guzzle it down brothers and sisters and keep breaking new records. You are a marvel!

Looks like American folks trying to *exit* cities and urban areas when the SHTF.
I think more likely is Americans will "vote from the rooftops" about what is going on below. The 2nd Amendment: It's Not Just For Breakfast Anymore.
I hold firm to the notion that the 2nd Amendment will be the deciding factor in the future of the US. Mao didn't discover the notion that "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" nor is he the first to express what effectively the 2nd Amendment says. The Founding Fathers knew we would eventually end up where we are today. It's human nature. I get the sense that the lack of will to fully invoke the 2nd amendment decreases inversely to the increased chaos within the government and the opportunity said chaos provides. It has been said one should never let a good crisis go to waste.
At last....this is the only real story that matters and it will run and run until the ultimate conclusion is reached!

Over 1.2 Million Nonwhite Invaders Have Entered Europe in 8 Months"Furthermore, according to the EU-funded European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE), there are already 1.5 million “recognized” refugees living in Europe, so this figure should also be added to any other totals."

Ode To A Dying People
‘Camp of The Saints’ Seen Mirrored In Pope’s Message
If you want to know about immigration into White countries by 3rd world read this short review:
Review of 'The Culture of Critique'
These refugees want to fight, so send them home to fight ISIS.
Time to take Merkel out and hang her from the gallows. When she shot off her mouth and said Germany would take in 800,000 this year and 500,000 next year and years after, the savages poured onto the boats heading for Europe. And our Ahole of a President wants to bring at least 200,000 of these invaders to this country. Its not a flood of refugees, its an Islamic Invasion.
While the invasion goes on, not a single Islamic country is willing to take any of them. The Saudis, Qataris, and Kawaitis all want Europe turned into an Islamic Caliphate. Heck Saudi Arabia has enough air conditioned tents to house Three million muslims attending the Hage or whatever you call the damn thing. Yet no room to take in a few hundred thousand of their own kind. Ask yourself why this is? Ask why isn't Europe and why isn't the communist Pope questioning these oil rich muslim countries.
Saudi Arabia has 100,000 air conditioned tents but won't take any so called refugees. http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/09/16/saudi-arabia-10000... Now tell me this isn't a planned invasion by Islam.
The Prophet is smiling in his grave. The Muslim invasion of Europe is on; future generations of hate filled muslim offspring discrininated against by thos"white" europeans all of their lives, will one day tear it apart. And not one muslim soldier lost. No shit sherlock.

Camp of the Saints is just another prophetic novel.
Beat me to it! I was thinking about that book a few days ago.
I was given a book, Camp of the Saints, years ago but quit reading it after about 1/3 of the way through. I thought it was crazy as it talked about a huge wave of refugees swamping the west. Like George Orwells 1984 he was spot on.
Only white people can build prosperous, safe, clean, civililized societies and nations. They want what you got white man. They want your stuff and your daughter, but they ain't gonna play by your rules or adopt your culture or religion.
No problem. Greece is already a failed state, so just admit it openly and turn it into a refugee camp. All those billions of bailout loans can be used to purchase foodstuffs and clothing and shelters and security fencing from Germany, France and the rest of the EU. The Greeks get several million permanent tourists. Everybody wins. Damn, that Merkel is really clever, and devious.
Pleasing spin off for the US, after training and arming 'moderate' terrorists and letting them loose in Syria they now have generated hundreds of thousands of migrants fleeing into Europe. Europe will have to use considerable resources housing and feeding them, damaging European economies and European cohesion, an economic win for the US over the Euro.
Its all going to plan.
Well look at that route...I'm sure glad the Europeans stuck to their guns in forcing Greece to clean up its act. Imagine what things would be like if there was a weakened, economically drained and divided nation there today...
It's time for the New World to come to the aid and succour of the Old, as Churchill once said.
So why don't you exceptionals dust off the maps and bomb the fucking Balkan Corridor?
Why waste ordnance on Syria? It's the transit route and chokepoint that needs the deny, disrupt and degrade treatment.
Pretty please.
UNESCO says there are over 4 million "refugees" between Syria and Iraq that the west is going to have to absorb. That is just in this wave. Many more will become "refugees". I know this isn't popular to say, but rubber bullets, barbed wire and water cannons are not enough to stop these invaders from crossing over into Europe. The time has come for drastic measures. I think we all know what that means. Strip Yellen down bare ass naked and have her parade around the border with a large sign written in Arabic: "This is what you will get, no more young, blonde gentile girls". That should be enough to turn them back. If not, MOW THEM DOWN LIKE TALL GRASS. STACK THEM UP LIKE CARDBOARD. THEN CUT THEM UP AND SELL THEM TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD. ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT.

Welcoming economic migrants into Germany has one purpose and one purpose only: to create demand in a flagging economy.
Yes, you can helicopter money directly into an economy, but all that happens is that the exsting population puts it into a bank.
The alternative is to import a million hungry, needy immigrants desperate for homes, phones, TV's and washing machines and watch your economy explode with demand, even if those new possessions are largely bought with benefits. It's still cheaper than dropping money onto your own elderly, jaded population.
It's not Keynesian or Marxist. It's demand created by deliberate population displacement.
So Germany has a million unfilled jobs, just waiting to be filled?
There is more that motivates TPTB than economics.
Destroying European nation states is high on the menu.
Disagree. The primary purpose is to carry out the destruction of all white nations as has been the primary purpose of the Pan-European Union for over 100 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nikolaus_von_Coudenhove-Kalergi
In his book Praktischer Idealismus (Practical Idealism), he wrote:
"The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals."The secondary purpose is to depussify Europe somewhat so they can draft a credible army to go fight Russia. These young military aged males think they are getting a free ride in Europe but they won't like being conscripted and forced to go die fighting Russia.
They should all be allowed into the US, the country ultimately responsible for this mess. One guy on the left of the second photograph shows his allegiance. He is wearing a Confederate Flag T-shirt.
"...keeps on busing migrants to the Croatian border instead of sending some of them to Hungary." >> so there you have it, incompetent politician traitor acknowledging himself. How about not letting anyone illegal in from the south in the first place?
The Kalergi plan is being fully implemented....

I thought it was caused by Erdogans desire to flood europe with immigrants, but i will just say i was totally wrong about that. Turns out some Dutchies over here did some research on the subject and actually came up with something, at least to me.. starteling news. https://themolesite.wordpress.com/en-migrants-to-europe-is-a-setup/ If i go by this information or (disinformation) Supposedly it was far left europeans themselves, or some far left EU organization that instigated the mass migration to europe. http://news.sky.com/story/1551853/sky-finds-handbook-for-eu-bound-migran... they were even given handbooks.. lol
Anyone who states that they are for Women's Rights and Gay Rights and who supports an influx of Muslims is either lying or delusional.
Duh. I told you women voted for their own rapes and beatins and being forced to wear the hijab. Women want to be dominated in every way and you can safely ignore anything they say to the contrary.
"Welcome to the Capitalist EU".....here is your ration of Muslim Socialist voters and tax liability, €njoy your economic freedom"
Liberals are in denial about the whole thing. Their response to the massive increase in rape in Germany is to simply deny it's happening at all.
Well, at least feminism is dead in Europe now. There are no white countries left and non-white men do not respect women at all and rape them for being alone in public. Rape is also not prosecuted as a crime in Europe anymore. So any woman caught alone on the streets or in the parks is fair game. Apparently even 7 year old girls like the one raped by this 31 year old Syrian a few weeks ago:
https://mopo24.de/nachrichten/park-chemnitz-zentrum-missbrauch-siebenjae...
Again, the Leftists I know simply deny any of this is happening. Or they talk about "statistics" and how "most of them aren't ISIS or rapists." Sounds great! Up until it's YOUR daugher that gets raped. Then you don't give a fuck about statistics anymore, do you?
Anyone thinking that these migrants will form some new, lower-priced labor pool is totally delusional. But that is exactly what I think they are trying to do here.
The West is finding that there is resistance to lower wages. The traditional outsourcing targets are wising up, and wages are rising there. But they can't lower them much more here. So they figure a huge flood of desperate third-worlders will change the dynamics for them.
It might actually work, were it not for one small problem. There are not enough jobs, even at slave wages, for enough of them. Unlike other times in our history when advances disrupted the job markets, this time the Luddites may be right after all. The buggy-whip makers were, after all, eventually able to learn new skills and go to work making cars. Because it still took many hands to MAKE a car, and all the things cars needed.
There are no such jobs being created today. Today's tech companies with their multi-billion dollar valuations employ just a handful of the actual people being displaced. And those companies only have so many toilets that need cleaning.
So, in their willful blindness, they will import all these "new workers", who will quickly discover there ARE no jobs. Good luck getting them to leave then, and remember, desperate people don't just go away and die quietly.
The modern world just never stopped to consider the implications of what they were doing. It should have been as clear as daylight where all this was headed. Even today, I rarely hear anyone bring this up for discussion...the fundamental change that automation brings to the job market, and how the math is impossible. All I ever hear is that "new industries" will appear and absorb all those displaced workers.
They DO. But again, today those new industries don't NEED the workers, so there's a problem...but nobody SAYS that! If everyone suddenly decided to work for FREE, there wouldn't be enough actual jobs for enough people to change that dynamic.
So now what?
Flee Flee Flee
All middle east people , flee now.
(Jesus said so too)
World war 3 is about to begin and there will be nuclear bombs. Nobody will be able to survive. All your families and loved ones will be in danger.
Flee , ppl leave middle east & go to Europe & America who are causing all this situation by creating and arming terrorists.
