Europe's Next Refugee Crisis: Thousands Of Migrants Freezing To Death
“It cannot be that in the Europe of 2015 people are left to fend for themselves, sleeping in fields.”
That’s a quote from European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and he’s referring to the EU’s effort to create makeshift “holding camps” along the Balkan route to Germany designed to house some 100,000 asylum seekers as they make their way north. Eastern Europe is struggling with the influx of refugees from the Mid-East and while Hungary has simply decided to close its borders, other states in the region are attempting to strike some sort of middle ground between relenting and allowing migrants to turn the countryside into a superhighway to Germany and implementing a Viktor Orban-style crackdown that lacks any semblance of humanity (say what you will about a country’s right to protect its borders and cultural heritage, but using tear gas and water cannons in conjunction with an attempt to ignite an ultra-nationalist, religious fervor amongst the populace is dangerous at best and outright irresponsible at worst).
While the effort is admirable - we suppose - it may nonetheless backfire. That is, while it’s certainly not ideal to have hundreds of thousands of people sleeping in the middle of fields and building campfires out of flammable garbage, these ad hoc way stations will almost invariably become overcrowded, unsafe refugee internment camps and they’ll likely be easy targets for vociferous anti-migrant protests or worse.
That said, there really are no viable alternatives which is frightening considering we’re now headed into winter. Put simply, the “Schengen” concept is rapidly falling apart and unless Europe figures something out soon (and by “soon” we mean in the next couple of weeks) migrants could start to freeze to death. Here’s The Telegraph:
Migrants crossing the Balkans will begin freezing to death as winter approaches, the head of European Union has said, as leaders warned the continent was "falling apart" trying to deal with the biggest refugee crisis since the Second World War.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said a solution was urgently needed or thousands of refugee families facing winter temperature on the hillsides and freezing river-banks of Eastern Europe, would die.
"Every day counts," he said. "Otherwise we will soon see families in cold rivers in the Balkans perish miserably."
Miro Cerar, the Slovenian prime minister, said the EU was days from collapse as his country buckled under an “unbearable” influx of migrants.
"If we do not deliver some immediate and concrete actions on the ground in the next few days and weeks I believe the EU and Europe as a whole will start falling apart," he said.
Poorly dressed and under-fed, there are mounting fears they will fall victim to rougher seas and the Balkan winter that can reach minus 15C as they attempt to reach Germany and Sweden.
Aid agencies and human rights groups have also weighed in on the crisis. "As winter looms, the sight of thousands of refugees sleeping rough as they make their way through Europe represents a damning indictment of the EU’s failure to offer a coordinated response to the refugee crisis," said John Dalhuisen of Amnesty International.
If you thought the firestorm surrounding the images of drowned toddler Aylan Kurdi was bad, just wait until the pictures of frozen migrant children start to surface on social media.
In many ways, Europe is damned if they do, damned if they don't. If refugee families are left to freeze in the Balkans because a confederacy of supposedly advanced nations couldn't figure out how to cope with the influx of asylum seekers from the war-torn Mid-East, the history books will be replete with references and images to migrant families freezing to death trying to get to Germany. Then again, if the whole of the EU adopts an open door policy and something goes wrong - or even if nothing goes wrong and the people flows simply serve to change the character of European society forever - the bloc will likely be blamed for not taking a more measured approach.
Meanwhile, note the bolded passage from The Telegraph article excerpted above: "...the Balkan winter that can reach minus 15C as they attempt to reach Germany and Sweden." Well, if you though anti-migrant sentiment was on the rise in Germany (see the latest PEGIDA rally), just have a look at Sweden where as yet unidentified groups are literally torching refugee shelters. Here's The Telegraph again:
Sweden’s migration authorities on Wednesday moved to hide the locations of buildings earmarked for housing refugees, after attackers set more a dozen prospective refugee centres on fire in a matter of months.
Mikael Ribbenvik, chief operative officer at the Swedish Migration Agency, made the decision after the thirteenth centre, a home for unaccompanied refugee children in the city of Lund, was set alight on Monday.
“We have decided today that where asylum centres are located will from now on be classified information,” Johanna Uhr, a spokeswoman for the agency, told The Telegraph. “We will no longer be sending out any lists of locations.”
The populist Sweden Democrat party has been harshly criticised for last week publishing a map listing the addresses of all asylum centres in and around the city of Lund.
“I find it hard to see that this is anything other than an incitement to commit hate crimes,” Veronica Palm, a Social Democrat MP, told Expressen newspaper.
And so sadly, the choice appears to be between bullets, bombs, and sword-wielding jihadists in Syria and freezing to death in the Balkans or else being burned alive in Sweden - and that's assuming you don't die at sea in transit.
The reports from Sweden underscore our point that Europe's plan to establish makeshift "holding camps" is likely a bad idea. Anti-migrant sentiment is running high among Europeans predisposed to nationalistic ideals and while the facilities torched in Sweden were apparently empty, the migrant camps along the Balkan route won't be. That said, the alternative is to force asylum seekers to sleep out in the cold and risk going down in history as a union of advanced economies that couldn't even manage to cooperate enough to keep tens of thousands of people from freezing to death.
Of course the tragic irony is that whatever fate should befall the legions of refugees seeking asylum in Western Europe, it will all be blamed on brutal Mid-East dictators and while autocratic regimes should unquestionably be held to account for their role in creating disaffection among the citizenry, at some point the West needs to wake up and come to terms with the fact that playing Mid-East kingmaker everywhere and always has tragic consequences. Europe's refugee crisis is just the latest example.

“It cannot be that in the Europe of 2015 people are left to fend for themselves, sleeping in fields.”
If Muslim "migrants" are so stupid as to freeze to death because they want to get free food, housing, and health care in Germany, Sweden, and England, then so be it.
Stupid is as stupid does.
They hate the Western Axis because of our freedoms. Democracy IS the bomb !!! Baby !
If they kill Rudolph and Santa, it's on.
This is getting kinda creepy.
Resisting urge to make crack about Hell freezing over...
Obviously, resistance was futile.
Gee bomb the fuck out of three countries for fucking ever and the people who lived there want to up and move. The nerve of them.
Last year, the EU crisis was the war in the Ukraine and a commercial jet being downed. The war heated up because the Russians needed to move heavy weapons into position before the "November rains".
Well, it is November once again and now the migration from the East is the crisis. The politicians have taken note of the coming change in weather and how it will effect the many walkers from the East. This proves we pretty much don't learn from history or even the newspapers.
The next crisis will be disposal of many Jane and John Doe remains.
The greatest thing about this site is that we all get to share knowledge and Ideas of what is happening around us. It is sites like this that will one day help govern us... It is so sad that most people use the power of the internet, the greatest base of knowledge that ever existed to simply share jokes with each other and continue to be dumb from the MSM.
We have the power with this tool to bankrupt any corporation and overthrow any .gov if we band together and keep sharing. Consider this the ultimate pen which is mightier than the sword.
Well that is a long as they don't turn off the internet or sensor all we speak of. I'm sure that will be what they do next.
they'll never turn off degenerate porn and mind mush entertainment... and I would say more people seeked knowledge BEFORE the WWW took hold.... pre '95 was a different era indeed
I disagree, there was no other source for world events other than MSM and as for knowledge there was books, now there is you and your video of what is happening right now in real time. Also now if you want to learn something right now 24/7 it's on the internet before there was no readily accessible way.
There is NOT video of what's happening in real time. You're not receiving and comprehending the complete story, because there's only so much information a video can convey, and what you're seeing is what someone else wants you to see. If you rely on someone elses perspective, you'll end up beholden to their ideas and ideals, no matter how much you try to tell yourself you aren't. The only way you can KNOW is to be there, as it happens. Anything else is just mediated information delivered in 30 second chunks.
Besides - how often do you need an update on a "news" "story", and how does it affect your life, and how much of anything on Television or Youtube really worth dumbing yourself down for?
I suggest these books for you to read: The Empire of Illusion by Chris Hedges and Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television by Jerry Mander.
The rest of the world is neither my responsibility, nor problem.
Fuck 'em.
my old jewish german grandmother told me that the germans would try and trick her into going into the 'other room' and turning on the gas to heat the barricks, i mean house in the winter....tricky germans.
another Trail of Tears..they should of just stormed their friendly neighbor Israel and after the massacre perhaps the fucking world will get a clue of the real terrormongers
Why can't anyone else become 'Settlers' in the Golan Heights??
Why don't the Arabs pray to their great 'ALLAH' to save them??? He is so great, after all....../s
Can you imagine how much better this World would be if active duty American soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines who made this fucked up mess a reality for these destitute people decided to go AWOL and collectively showed up to help out the Europeans with the refugees providing bulding materials, food, and medical supplies out of there own pockets and spearheaded a drive for "donations"?... Oh... almost forgot... And helped INTERPOL and German intelligence locate and exterminate the scum fuck Mossad/CIA/Mi6 that are in hiding that came among those refugees to provide some "fireworks" to viliiify these poor buggers some more!
Certainly would work wonders with our partners and the irreparably stained image we've been carrying around since this lie took place that displaced all of them?!!!
Wonder how many Americans would be willing to dip into their saving including these 100 people to make an effort like that happen considering how much misery we've created for them?!!!
Sure beats a nuclear holocaust!
But this will happen when "you know what" freezes over! That's the American Way!!!
Ok, you first.
As expected!
I assume you've already booked your flight and liquidated your retirement account to buy some materials.
Nah...
Russia will do the honors for you and me.
Guaranteed!
These people didn't know it gets cold in the winter, especially in Germany and Sweden?
Buster
You have to put yourself in there shoes?... Pardon me I forgot you are collecting all of them so they "don't go home"!
"And so sadly, the choice appears to be between bullets, bombs, and sword-wielding jihadists in Syria and freezing to death in the Balkans or else being burned alive in Sweden - and that's assuming you don't die at sea in transit. "
Or stay in a refugee camp in Turkey.
Crisis? Sounds more like a solution. Oops.....
A sovereign country not only should but MUST defend its borders from invaders. If not you don't have a country. I know I know, these days the only country allowed to defend its borders is Israel. Why is that again? I wonder what would happen if a few hundred thousand of these Muslim men came streaming into Jerusalem with their hands out looking for free shit and a place to settle. It would sure be a hellofa shorter walk coming from Syria than it is to Germany.
Ya know what else is nice this time of year and has plenty of land they can settle in? Sudan, or South Sudan, maybe they like more of a jungle adventure? I suggest the Democratic Republic of the Congo. You know its nice cause it has both democratic AND republic in its name; how could you go wrong with that? Its about the same distance as going from Syria to Germany just in the other direction.
And we should care why?
Guess they picked a bad time of year to travel. Kinda proves the low IQ theory.
"say what you will about a country’s right to protect its borders and cultural heritage, but using tear gas and water cannons in conjunction with an attempt to ignite an ultra-nationalist, religious fervor amongst the populace is dangerous at best and outright irresponsible at worst). "
Crap.
Say what you will about allowing an army of low IQ Muzzie Arabs to swamp your nation, destroy its culture, bankrupt its economy, collapse its infrastructure and spread the physical and moral diseases associated with these swine - water cannons and fences are not enough-machine guns, live ammo, mine fields, dogs and thick barbed wire is appropraite.
Besides, don't get our hopes up about these brown shits freezing to death - the Germans and Swiss will devote all available resources to resuce.
Are there no patriots left in Europe - have they all gone fag ? A coup is overdue.
"Sweden’s migration authorities on Wednesday moved to hide the locations of buildings earmarked for housing refugees, after attackers set more a dozen prospective refugee centres on fire in a matter of months."
This is what I would be doing in America except we just give them free Section 8 housing so there is no camp to target.Winter is Coming ... NOT SOON ENOUGH !
Apparently there are still some flurishing Viking genes left. More hair on their balls than the rest of Western Europe combined
Many of the so-called attacks are the immigrants setting fire on the houses themelves.
Here is a recent example that probably was started by the immigrants themselves. Mikael Ribbenvik, who is mentioned in the article above called this fire "unscrupulous or conscienceless"
"samvetslöst" He should have waited until the investigation was completed.

The police says the fire started in "public space" and they dont know how it started. So if some arsonist was in this public space someone probably would have seen him.
The reporters checked 7 incidents in the article above, and four of them were not any attacks against migrants. Many of them dont know how to use a stove etc.
And the reference to Veronica Palm is hilarious. She is such a mo.ron that her own party thinks she is a burden. 100 % PC with no brain. She participated in what was called "hijab-uppropet", where some PC-women and feminists dressed in hijab to "show solidarity" with a muslim woman that had been assaulted by a "racist".
After one week the muslim woman was "assaulted again" and media dropped the story completely. The only DNA they found on this woman was her own.
She was probably beaten by her own man since she was out late in the evening by herself, it was her husband that reported to the police that someone had assaulted her.
Here are some of the leftist PC-moron women that was fooled by this woman

Send them to northern Saskatchewan in the next 3 weeks. PLEASE.
its easier to store them when theyre frozen - you just stack them on top of each other, the neighbours wont complain about the smell either

Obamination that causes desolation
"That’s a quote from European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker". Yeah, a man that also once said "if it gets serious you need to lie". The matter is that they could have seen this coming months ago. I was traveling through South East Europe back in June and saw the masses of predominately young men (not the loads of people with young children the MSM wants you to believe) and thought back then "this will not go well". The EU has done virtually nothing to stop the flow of people. Mutti Merkel encouraged them to come and guess what: they came. So Germany, take them in and keep them warm. Your problem.
Sounds like the problem will solve itself. That is unless "global warming" steps in and ruins it for us all.
I guarantee they will have wished to not have headed north when winter hits. Berlin 42 they feeling it already and hating it. 33 forecast low Sun, 31 monday low
Global warming will save them.
They should go to the global warming summit in Paris and freeze outside their doorstep
Let's see the bright side of this saga.
This vermin is going to freeze, then 30000 years into the future they will be found and be able to reconstruct them from the DNA left. Hopefully by then, the DNA muslim/isil segment will be so damaged that their revival will generate few hundred of thousand of slave labor beared guys, very reliabe and dilligent
First make every appointed EU technocrat and every EU employee take in at least one family, and that includes every member of the EU Parliment. Second do the same with every government official and every politician in all countries that are members of the EU. You can bet the refugee crisis would be solved in a matter of days.

Ahhh... good old Europe, land of tolerance and illuminism. And concentration camps and world wars.
