Is Europe Choosing To Self-Destruct?

Europe has voluntarily begun the process of giving up its liberal and hard-fought-for freedoms. Free speech no longer exists, only -- straight out of totalitarian ideologies -- "responsible" free speech: "free" only if it does not "offend" anyone.
-
The desire of many Europeans and other self-declared devotees of "human rights" to cover up, downplay or explain away what is happening in Europe, in fact represents the opposite of respect for others and equality before the law.
-
Absolving such criminal behavior is not only the very opposite of justice, it is also a kind of "inverted racism" -- against its own native Europeans.

In 2014 and 2015 Jews in Europe were murdered, raped, beaten and stalked -- just for being Jewish. Signs in the street read, "Sale Juif" ("dirty Jew"), "Death to the Jews," and "Jews to the gas." None of these side effects of Muslim immigration seems to concern the liberals, the media, or the purported defenders of human rights -- who so loudly claim to be against "racism." Or, once again in Europe, does "racism" not include Jews?
After the mass sexual assaults on New Year's Eve in the European cities of Cologne, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Bielefeld, Berlin, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Vienna, Salzburg, Zürich, Helsinki and Kalmar, it is clear that something profoundly disturbing has occurred in Europe. By Sunday, in Cologne alone, 516 women had filed criminal charges -- around 40% of them relating to sexual assaults.
The initial reactions to the sexual assaults from German authorities, the media, as well as feminists and others have not been less disturbing.
The German police first claimed, in a surreal statement the morning of Jan. 1, that the situation on New Year's Eve had been "relaxed." Cologne Police Chief Wolfgang Albers later admitted "this initial statement was incorrect" and, for his role in what appeared as a cover up, has since been forced into early retirement.
In the "mainstream media," Germany's public broadcaster, ZDF, made a decision not to report on the attacks until four days after they had occurred.
A former government official, Hans-Peter Friedrich, Chancellor Angela Merkel's interior minister from 2011 to 2013, accused the media of imposing a "news blackout" and operating a "code of silence" over negative news about immigrants: "It is a scandal that it took days for the media to pick up the reports," Mr. Friedrich said.
"Experts," feminists and liberals tried to downplay the attacks by explaining them away at all costs.
One such "expert," the German criminologist Christian Pfeiffer, described the men as "largely young, single men, who have arrived in this country and don't know what to do with themselves... The clarification of their asylum status took such a long time that their frustrations and anger only grew." This much-respected German criminologist concluded: "This is an alarm signal that we need to do more." According to him, immigrants commit crimes, but the Germans are at fault because they "need to do more."
Many feminists in Europe claimed that too much focus had been put on the criminals' "ethnicity," which these feminists alleged was "racism" -- while ignoring that Islam is not an ethnicity but a religion. This argument was championed especially by the once-hardcore feminists in Sweden and Denmark.
Social media were also rife with excuses for men who had assembled for the sole purpose of sexually assaulting female passersby in a public square. It turns out this pastime -- gang-rape -- hails from the Arab-Muslim world, and has a specific name: "Taharrush."
How does the fear of being accused of "racism" become more important than calling out gang-rape?
If any of these attempts at denial sound familiar, they should. For decades, European national authorities, liberals, and the media have either ignored, "relativized" or attempted to explain away whatever unpleasant facts accompanied Muslim mass-immigration into Europe.
The widespread sexual abuse of 1400 children by Muslim men, mainly of Pakistani origin, in Rotherham, England, for more than a decade, between 1999 and 2013, was known by the local British authorities but allowed to continue.
In Paris, Toulouse and Copenhagen, Jews were murdered by Muslims -- for just being Jews.
Imams are free to preach and incite hatred against Jews from European mosques. The imams call Jews the descendants of "apes and pigs."
The terrorist who murdered a young Jewish security guard last year in Copenhagen at a synagogue had been exposed to exactly such incitement in a local Copenhagen mosque the day before he committed the murder.
Jew-hunting season has also opened in France again, and 15,000 Jews have left the country in the past two years. Already in 2014, 75% of all French Jews were considering leaving the country.
In 2006, a young French Jew, Ilan Halimi, was held prisoner and tortured for 24 days by a gang of Muslims, then dumped, naked and handcuffed, in a field. In Europe, this story went practically unreported.
As The Atlantic wrote in April 2015, "France's 475,000 Jews represent less than 1 percent of the country's population. Yet last year, according to the French Interior Ministry, 51 percent of all racist attacks targeted Jews."
The statistics in other countries are similar. In 2014 and 2015, Jews in Europe were murdered, raped, beaten and stalked, only for being Jews. Signs in the street read, "Sale Juif" ("dirty Jew"), "Death to the Jews," and "Jews to the gas."
None of these side-effects of Muslim immigration seems to concern liberals, the media, or the purported defenders of human rights -- who so loudly claim to be against "racism." Or, once again in Europe, does "racism" not include the Jews?
In Sweden, there were "widespread sexual assaults" by about 90 young men, mainly from Afghanistan and Syria, at a concert in Stockholm last August. The largest Swedish newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, once it was informed of the national origin of the criminals, did not want to report the story.
Only after the Cologne attacks -- five months later -- did the Swedish newspaper show interest in what happened in Stockholm last summer.

In Norway, the first statistics on rapes were revealed in 2001: incidences of rape had increased by 40% from 1999 to 2000, and 65% of all rapes were committed by non-Western immigrants (mainly Muslims). At the time, professor Unna Wikan, considered an authority on Muslims in Norway, blamed the rapes on Norwegian women. She accused them of "inviting" the rapes by acting like "Norwegian women" instead of "internalising that we live in a multicultural society and accommodat[ing] that fact. ... In most Muslim countries, it is assumed that the woman is at fault for being raped, and it is only fair that Muslim immigrants bring these kinds of opinions with them when they move to Norway."
Liberals openly admit that they do not wish to talk about what they see: "So no wonder liberals would do anything to avoid fanning these flames, since we see in all this righteous indignation a blatantly racist old trope about barbarians at the gates. We bend over backwards to report it responsibly, to moderate the frothing rage," said a British self-declared liberal about her unwillingness to talk about the Cologne attacks.
Avoiding "fanning the flames," however, turns out not to be true. Many liberals seem to have no problems "fanning the flames" of racial hatred, so long as Muslims are not at the receiving end. At the very top of their hatred are Israeli Jews. Many in the media gleefully participate with skewed, selective reporting of facts, especially in the Middle East. The European media have virtually ignored the current wave of almost daily Palestinian stabbings, shootings, car-rammings and stone-throwings -- not to mention the rocket attacks into Israel from the Gaza Strip. These attacks are aimed at innocent civilians, and are whipped up by the Palestinian Authority, with Mahmoud Abbas at the helm.
The desire of many Europeans and other self-declared devotees of "human rights" to cover up, downplay or explain away what is happening in Europe, in fact represents the opposite of what people genuinely concerned with human rights care about: respect for others and equality before the law.
When a society built on the rule of law begins to cover up criminal behavior and absolve criminals of responsibility, this only weakens and corrodes the very values it claims to want to uphold.
Absolving such criminal behavior is not only the very opposite of justice, it is also a kind of "inverted racism" -- against its own native Europeans.
As it turns out, the liberal ethos seems anything but. It is actually totalitarian in its desire to adapt reality, at all costs, to its own fantasies, agendas and "narratives." Objective truth is treated as disposable.
Europe has voluntarily begun the process of giving up its liberal and hard-fought-for freedoms. Free speech no longer exists, only -- straight out of totalitarian ideologies -- "responsible" free speech: "free" only if it does not "offend" anyone. That is not free speech; that is censored speech. Speech that does not offend anyone does not need protecting.
Religious freedom no longer exists. Jews cannot wear Jewish symbols openly anymore without serious risk of assault, and they can only assemble for prayer under heavy security. Now will real freedom for girls and women also cease to exist? After that, who will be next?

Yes the agenda is in full flow.
The elite will soon run and hide in the bunkers paid for with citizens taxes, after engineering a full economic collapse as well as starting WW3, plus they will make sure that there are enough Jihadi's in the West to start a race war.
That should be enough to cover up the failed fiat ponzi scheme and take care of the 'excessive' population......
http://beforeitsnews.com/global-unrest/2016/01/the-lion-is-it-time-to-fi...
Full on economic and social collapse with martial law, then they step in as the saviours with a new global currency and global governance. Problem is anyone with a brain will remember who's plot this was and who rolled it out. We are headed for a time where blood will flow in the streets like never before in written history.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the most powerful of them all? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih3eqMskRHI
Hint: Starts with M and she's the Chancellor of Germany.
The Arabic gang-rape 'Taharrush' phenomenon which sees women surrounded by groups of men in crowds and sexually assaulted... and has now spread to Europe
The Arabic term 'taharrush' roughly translates to 'collective harassment'
It refers to sexual assaults carried out by groups of men in public places
Surrounded by dozens of attackers, lone women are groped or raped
The phenomenon was first seen in 2011 when a reporter was attacked
Lara Logan endured an assault while reporting on the protests in Egypt
Police say attacks in Cologne marked Europe's first instance of taharrush
Psycho-Trockyizm-do or aim for the complete opposite what are you declaring, for example: declare that you are aiming for social justice in CCCP, build the worst fascism ever.
It seems like the psycho-Trockyizm is still alive and well.
The fact that the agenda is in full flow means just one thing - they are out of any further deceiving tools and are effectively finished. As being totally desperate, they cannot afford to hide the cards thus unwittingly showing everyone they have no more aces in their hands.
In other words, the emperor's clothes have just been revealed. They have lost the strongest instrument how to avoid social unrest and to keep the society calm while simultaneously deceiving it - a carefully hidden conspiracy agenda and a smooth gradual, almost unnoticed, transformation pursuing the agenda's goals, aka frog-boiling. Once the conspiracy is unveiled it doesn't work any longer.
I'm sorry, what?
Judith Bergman, I guess you never heard of Barbara Lerner Spectre?
Apparently racism is OK, as long as the target is the WHITE MALE! Hell, then even sexism is fine and dandy. You see, because white men are so privileged, it doesn't even count as racism or sexism when it happens to them. But whats happening to the Jews is terrible! All those influential positions in government, banking, media, television, film... It takes its toll! No way that Jews were involved in this 'Muslim migrant' debacle, right?
Not like it ties into the Oded Yinon Plan for Eretz Israel, to destabilize all Israel's neighbors, right?
And don't even get me started on the cryptos from Donmeh, least of all the House of Saud!
Not only has the cultural genocide been in play for a good 30+ years (arguably going back to post-WWII), now the Christians of Europe will be expected to go to war with the Muslims of the Middle East, and for WHOSE BENEFIT?
Why hasn't Israel taken any refugees? Saudi Arabia? Jordan?
This is Judith Bergman's emotional "Hows about you and him fight?" appeal.
See the picture of that Springfield XDS to the right? If you are european, and have the ability, you might want to think about getting one and about 1,000 rounds of .45 ACP to go with it.
Very conceable and lots of stopping power.
I prefer 9mm myself. Less recoil, thus less muzzle rise, thus it is easier to accurately squeeze out a full magazine in a short period of time. Higher magazine capacity as well.
That said, the .45 is a fine round and I certainly wouldn't want to get shot with it.
End of the day, any round that goes bang is a helluva lot better than throwing rocks.
The effects of recoil for typical self-defence calibers is highly overstated IMHO - In comparing my Glock 19 to my Glock 21, I really don't notice any substantial difference in recoil between the 9mm and .45. The character of the recoil is a bit different - more of a hard shove in the .45 v. a mild snap in the 9mm, but I certainly don't shoot one any better than the other.
FWIW - the difference between .38 SPC Blazer practice rounds and full-house .357 Mag Buffalo Bore rounds, even in my 2" S&W 649 isn't enough to make me load down in power for CC.
" The imams call Jews the descendants of "apes and pigs."
Yes, and in medieval Spain, Jews were called marranos.
Marrano in 15th-century Spanish first meant "dirty", "unclean", "swine", "pig", from the ritual prohibition against eating pork, practiced by both Jews and Muslims.
Marranos were Sephardic/mixed genetics who on the face converted to Catholic for hide themselves but continued practice 'judaism'
in secret. This after Spain had enough of them.
Large numbers arrived to Americas, US Southwest and Mexico....main wealth center Mexico City today.
Still undercover. Own and operate the system.
And who were the prime financiers of slavery? Who were the captains of the slave ships? Novo Christians... Marranos... Hell, they even named a slave port in Benin: Judah/Ouidah!
Should tell you everything you need to know. Good luck finding this out in the school textbooks though!
Read the wiki and they will tell you ALL ABOUT the Portuguese and slavery. Oh, those evil evil Portuguese! But who financed the trips, who profited, who owned the ships? Not a peep...
"The most important merchant of Portugal concerned in the slave trade in the mid-16th century was Fernando Jimenez who [was] based in Lisbon... Despite his Jewish ancestry, the powerful reforming Pope Sixtus V was so appreciative of his services that he gave him the right to use his own surname, Peretti.
"Jimenez's descendants were among the largest contractors in Africa - above all, eventually, in Angola. The Jimenezes were run close in wealth and influence by another New Christian [an euphemism for a converted Jew or converso], Emmanuel Rodrigues, and his family - including Simon, a dominant figure in the [slave] trade from Cape Verde."
Hugh continues: "Other conversos in the slave trade included Manuel Caldeira, whose great days were in the early 1560s, and who then became chief treasurer of the realm... It is true that much of the slave trade in the 16th and 17th centuries in Lisbon was financed by converted Jews, New Christians or conversos; though whether such a person is to be seen as a Jew is not something on which I should wish to pronounce."
The overrunning of Europe is the perfect macro example of the Hegelian Dialectic in action.
Jordan has taken in refugees, but SA is above all that.

Even Iraq has taken them despite the whole country being attacked by Western psychos and reducing a once stable nation into a terrorist playground..
I dont know if you have ever heard of Barbara Lerner Spectre but here is what she says about "Christian Europe"...

Spot on Mr. N.
I'm curious though: who but the ignorant (or shill) would mark your comments down?
He's got a bit of a troll rep, and ZH has downvoters who lurk on 'sensitive' articles. Hasbaras, we call them.
"
You asking spambot a question and a reply expect? Is to laughing.
He is spambot shilling for net.kook site and the same "comments" he posts with same links across all articles.
He does never interact, only posts bold texts, and, too funny, always give +1 himself.
Jewish and jewish and...jewish. Yes unfortunately jew are again fair game across Europe. This time hunted not by nazis but by muslims. However - interestingly a vociferous minority rooting for increased immigration of 3rd world muslims in these countries ...are jews. The Swedish media you exemplarized in your column are all owned by a jewish media family. The Chief-in-editor of DN (Peter Wolodarski) is himself jewish and extremely focused on covering up "migrant" transgressions and generally any critique towards the continued huge influx of moslems of which he is very supportive.
He even looks very jewish himself...!?
What on earth these people are thinking is beyond ordinary Swedes. In fact the only thing standing between the moslems and them are...the swedish population...who generally feel that they are being stabbed in the back by this jewish "intelligentsia"
As for Wolodarski...I believe he thinks himself smarter than everyone else and has ambitions for a political career somewhere along the liberal spectrum. It´s like he believes that when fecal matter starts hitting the fan he will have time to do a runner to Eretz Israel...but this may be an uncertain planning.
As a son of a polish jew who was thrown out of Poland in the sixties when the polish communists had one of their pogroms...he really should know better.
There are others. Sarnecki - a man with similar background who has spent a whole life making a carrer out of criminal statistics and also continously have been lying about crime statistics and covering up for "foreigners" crimes.
And others.
The ordinary swedish population is rapidly becomin very flummoxed by this and of lately have been neginning to discuss inbetween themselves..."maybe we should just step away and let the muzzies to what they want to with jews ...?" since they after all just seems to want to stick a knife in our back.
Maybe the author of this article can give us som guidance on why the jweish diaspora in influential positions are acting like this...agianst jewish interests...?
After all - these people were not cut out to be the new George Soros. I believe they more will be the prey in the new conflagration
Who downvoted this and...why?
Itá a factual description of the situation including the immense risks the the jewish "intelligentsia" are producing (for themselves). I really want to now what jewish people in other places think of these insane politics of their fellow brethren.
If this is the "intelligentsias" idea of problem-reaction-solution they are incredibly stupid. They are not part of anything . Unless as patsies. It´s like Lee Harvey Oswald all over again.
Normally in extended jewish communities there´s an Uncle Shmuele who discreetly gives sane advise. ...sell those .com and buy gold instead....don't bring jihadis to our communities...
Can´t someone - at least in th US or Israel reach out to these shit for brains in Sweden and tell them to stop and decist.
If not mybe we non-jewish will step away and just shrug our shoulders when the jihadis start doing their stuff.
I don't think you will get any more clear warnings of this kind.
The .gov trolls react very badly to those who upset their official stories and schemes with facts. Don't expect any explanations or reasons for disagreeing with your post. They are not interested in debate, clarification, history, politics, etc.
That's not their job. Their job is to down vote any one who disagrees with their bosses. They probably get a commission for every down vote.
Of course. I am not trying to have a dialogue with NSA o DHS or any of the Hessians in the alphabet soup. But for Christ's sake...there are a lot of individuals in those organizations as well as the international diaspora and Israel whom I assume don't wanna support a 2nd holocaust. And they need to take action right now! Get in contact with their own (jewish) weirdos and tell them to cease and decist.Now!
What help does these few Jewish culturalmarxists expect from people they continually spit in the face...?
The lady who worte this article is a typical ignoramus that think that Norwegians, Swedes, Danes are a homogenous people that will be svayed by her reasoning and for some obscure reason rise to the occasion and save the jews who are spitting in our faces and doing their best to deteriorate situation.
We don't want to see a new holocaust and generally bear no harm whatsoever to the small jewish minorities.
But it would be very easy to just look the other way when open season begins and then step in and kill off the moosies when they start posing a clear and present danger to us.
And the .gov trolls may need to rethink this. Some of them may even be jewish.
These things have a nasty tendency to move to other countries. Maybe even stateside.
Tell me if I am being a one-issue, 9/11 FF explains everything, less-than-rational person, but : I work at understanding this stuff, and try to stay sane as I do it, and my conclusions are that what we see on the surface has damn little to do with what is happening underneath.
Nothing is ultimate power and nobody controls anything completely, BUT Israeli-Neocons are one of the most powerful Mafias in the world, a major part of the Deep State here in the US and a very large player in all the world. They are the driver of terrorsm everywhere, and use it to achieve political effect. Terrorist operations, including 93 WTC, OKC and 9/11, ahve been one of their most effective tools.
Money and terror, AIPAC and the FBI, CIA and Mossad, the US military and intelligence services. A seriously powerful Cabal, and a cause of anthing affected by their terrorist operations and wars throughout hte world. Not all the effects can have been anticipated, of course, but everywhere large numbers of foreign men congregate, rapes happen. Arab young men have a special problem in that regard, poor primitives. Of course it was intended for political effect, that stream of refugees. Turkey does wihat the EU wants, what the US wants.
AIPAC owns the US Congress, and undoubtedly many politicians in Europe, some of who are jointly owned with US Oligarchs and intelligence services.
None of our countries is working as we think, under rule of law. All are being sundered by problems which seem rather solvable, if we can get the gd governments and oligarchs out of the way. MSM is COINTELPRO, a key tool in divide and rule strategies.
We are all getting poorer, Webster Tarpley (Solid guy, I recommend his videos) says we have lost 2/3rds of our standards of living since 1970, hidden by working more and having more people in the family working. Fits with what I see.
This is engineered, a social group product guided by a relative few. But that isn't exactly a conspiracy, that is how people behave, and nobody had ultimate power, just some few enough to get their way most of the time.
Once your allow a government to accrete power, it doesn't much matter what it started out as, it ends up in a totalitarin state runng gulags for people like those making comments on ZH.
So I have no solution except to understand that the people we are being taught to hate are not responsible for the problem, and hating people doesn't generally help anything. Also, think sabotage, not guns. We are going to have to seize our government back from these barbarian Israeli-Neocons and their corrupt minions, they are not providing us choices.
Sabotage is the weapon of the meek and peaceful and friendly. Hurt profits, not people.
Yes and yes and yes. The thing is that these folks seriously are overestimating their own powers of planning and controlling events. Once violence starts - no plan survives contacts with reality.
And this time around it may very well bite them in the ass. A bad bite.
I wish the more normal part of the jewish community would re-think the situation and begin to ostracize or whatever they choose to do with their fellow brethren - for their own safety. Just put a stop to their nefarious activities. Have JDL to visit them.
It´s soon Halal-time , baby. Created by the jewish intelligentsia.
Jews are suicidal...? It looks that way.
That is the sad and ironic part. The average Joe Shalom on the street gets killed or worse and the Soros and Spectres of the world flit from ivory tower to ivory tower reaping the rewards while claiming victim status.
There must be a way to differentiate. Oh right, the latter are zionists. Too bad the average 80 IQ cannot isn't capable of such discernment, much less caring about it. What do you expect from people who pray to a child rapist?
Before you get too high and mighty about the 'child rapist' who took his wife to bed, perahps you should consider your own leaders.
Do you recall Dennis Hastert? Big man in the US House, retired in scandal a few years back? Fat slob.
Dennis Hastert was a pedophile who went on many gov-funded junkets to satisfy his desire for young boys. He was bugged and videotaped by every intelligence agency in the world, of course.
Also his Chicago offices, in homes he owned, being estranged from his wife. Downstairs was the office where he received suitcases of cash, delivered by the local drug gangs, in return for his assistance arranging the supply from the US Army (?I assume that, but don't have evidence. The Army distributing Agthanistan poppy products world-wide is true, just not how that entitled Whip and Speaker of the House to a cut.)
Many young boys.
ALl of this was very well know to the FBI, the CIA, the State Department and the local Mafia, because all were keeping tabs on an asset and so bugged his residences. For all, Hastert was someone who could make things happen for them in Congress.
Through Depravity, Power! Enough power to avoid any punishment, notice the case was just settled for nada?
Your society is doing this. Cultural conservatives should be outraged, one would think. Or just anyoe who has any sense of justice and thinks that sexually abusing little brown boys is just as bad as if they were white?
Of course Mohammad is the problem, the dirty bastard! If it weren't for him, I might have to look around me.
I gave you a red one for playing a game of excusing one bad behavior by pointing out to another.
That in itself is bad enough but you also used individual depravity and corruption as if it was equal to one that is cultural.
You are judging people in the past by standards of the present. King John took a 12-year-old wife, who he enjoyed royally, and who apparenlty enjoyed it also. And marriage with children was common.
I do not know the cultural contest of any of it, and so do not judge by my cultural context.
"One that is cultural?" Explain, please. How did Mohammad's behavior determine the behavior of your men now? And not, btw, all Muslim young men, many women travel in Syria, Lebanon and other lands without problems of any kind. Their blogs are all over the net, if you bother to look.
That is one of the things I find so interesting in all of this, people use this wonderful means of spreading their best thoughts to spread dumbness they could correct with a 2 minute search of the net.
Differences here are that we are no longer in the 1200's and neither are they, nor did we worship King John as a Godlike figure. The first statement stands true - they are literally worshipping a pedephile.
"What on earth these people are thinking is beyond ordinary Swedes. In fact the only thing standing between the moslems and them are...the swedish population...who generally feel that they are being stabbed in the back by this jewish "intelligentsia""
It is the same in the US - Jews support policies and politicians that favor totalitarian government that is openly anti-Jewish. Recent history shows the Jewish intelligentsia wrote the blueprint for government that allowed Hitler and Stalin to murder Jews by the million. Not only did they write the plan, they supported the policy until it turned on them.
Maybe Jews have a death wish embedded into their religion. Or maybe they just enjoy victim-hood and sympathy. Whatever the case, reality is as you describe - Jews are the driving force behind anti-Jewish sentiment and policy. It seems insane to the average non-jewish citizens who will bear the brunt of totalitarian policy and will eventually be forced to rescue the Jews to save themselves.
The only semi-rational explanation I have heard came from a rabbi's wife who worked with my wife many years ago. She pointed out that the Jewish faith is very rules oriented, with strict rules for every aspect of personal life. Kosher dietary rules were the example she used to illustrate the point. Extrapolated from personal to public policy, that strict rules-based thinking leads to totalitarian government.
The answer is government limited by law. The Jewish intelligentsia will never support it but (hopefully) average Swedes (and Americans) will.
Problem-reaction-solution.
Nurture or cultivate a problem, manage public reaction to the problem to fabricate consent for the solution that's proposed (and advances whatever agenda needs to be advanced.)
I wish more people would wake up just a wee bit faster. Please.
Yep, exactly. "If only there was a powerful one-world government to solve these problems! If only there was a one-world currency, and intellectual elite managing the economy..."
Wake up. Those are the conclusions they WANT you to reach. The actual answer is the opposite, decentralization.
We have to take it back. Perhaps "More active" for those of us already awake?
Have you pushed 9/11 FF, their huge weak spot?

socialist shithole has been in a nose dive for years
You are clueless.
I have been into the worst ghettos in my area, Erik. Have you done the same in your area?
There is one solution to all of this anti-semitism.
Teach people about how good multicultural societies are.
No, its actually to end the Federal Reserve, ban usury, and put an end to fiat currency. Which, really, should be as simple as educating people about it, and letting them choose to use an alternative.
The problem is when a country with sound money has to compete against a country with fiat currency, in the short term the economy with fiat currency will outperform! Short term (i.e. the boom phase, when loans are being made left, right and center, without too many questions asked about ability to repay)! But thats enough to convince most sheeple...
It's a shame more people can't detect sarcasm or tongue-in-cheek remarks.
Liberal ideas work great as long as the population has a strong work ethic, the economy is good, and few people need to collect the generous benefits. Liberals have no plan for dealing with a population that thinks it has become 'entitled' and exists to not work.
Yes, but I see plenty of "entitlement" attitudes at all levels of society.
Fuck em, now jump you fuckers!
All these liveral/socialist theories as to what works exclude the element of human nature.
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on the socialist plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an "A" .... (substituting grades for dollars — something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a "B". The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a "D"! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the new average was an "F".
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Human nature will always cause socialism's style of government to fail because the world has producers and non-producers (makers and takers).
It could not be any simpler than that.
...and then forced labor creeps into the failed state.
All anyone has to do is look at the history of the nations behind the iron curtain.
After the war mostly everyone worked very hard. There was lots of rebuilding to do. As time went on the effort was less and less. Also innovation was mostly missing as there no competition for customers - there was shortage of everything.
A actual real life example of the prevailing attitude there:
I knew a baker that came to the US and was employed by a small private bakery. One weekend he was told that customers were complaining that the bread was rather small (it did raise enough. .it's a yeast thing).
His reply was "let them eat what there is".
That type attitude was prevalent throughout the soviet republics and satellite nations.
It is human nature.
The Soviet Union did not collapse because its population was dumb and/or uneducated or because they lacked natural resources. As a matter if fact the intelligence level is above world average and education was vastly better than the most of the world. There was also abundance of natural resources.
The problem was socialism/communism.....and if course human nature.
Liberal ideas never work great at all. They are always collapsing, from their very first inception. "Free" money sounds great, until you find out it isn't. Most Liberals are either too dumb to figure this out, or too corrupt to care.
Oh how I miss TRAV...
Moral hazard for these pig fuckers on a scale the world has never seen.

Coincidence?
The notion of nationalism has to be destroyed in all countries in order for the UN to achieve it's goal: https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld
...so many contradictions. Even the UN is still clinging to a "growth" model that is not "sustainable"...
oh the irony...
