You want Merkel to get the UN together? Remember that Germany is technically still an occupied country, that it is not a permanent member of the Security Council. If the latter felt the wish to do anything constructive, they would not wait for Merkel – who is clearly acting on orders of her (likely NSA) handlers. However, such meetings merely create the illusion that solutions are being sought. As you can see by the slow pace of the agreed redistribution of refugees in Europe itself, the practical consequences will be minimal. Even if there are grandiloquent announcements, any measures will be subsequently torpedoed at lower level, when it comes to the implementation. Forget the UN – it has nothing constructive to offer, and is under the control of the very people who have planned and financed this invasion. In fact, it has outlived its utility.
The solution is to stop the war against Assad, stop financing ISIS and other false flag organisations, and resettle people in their original countries. But that is not something the US, UK, and other rogue nations will countenance.
And BTW stop blaming the drowned refugees on “Europe” in every shrill article, and framing their plight as the top priority of “Europe” in this clusterfuck. European politicians have sworn to uphold the security and laws of their own countries first and foremost. It is time they remembered that.
I agree completely with Dr. Diablo. You are aiding and abetting the criminals who are directing all this, like a horror movie in which we are all unwitting extras, and perhaps future casualties.
Use your brain, not just your heart – to tell Europeans that we have a duty to admit everyone, that the change forced on us with hostile intent must be welcomed and embraced, is stupid, short-sighted, and wrong-headed.
I agree with Dr. Diablo. This article is wrong-headed, in my (European) eyes, since it fails to correctly address the background and motivation of the sudden “refugee” streams. This situation is obviously engineered, for the most sinister of motives, and it is unfair to assign blame to the overwhelmed and betrayed European governments alone.
The EU in its current form is finished, I agree, but not from lack of humanity towards these misguided invaders; rather from lack of principle to stand by the rule of law, lack of will to defend their borders, lack of frankness about the situation, betrayal from within, and a total lack of backbone.
Living in what may well become the eye of the coming storm, I am aghast at the total failure of our institutions (not just the EU) to protect us, now that a dire emergency is on our doorsteps. The mainstream media accounts are clearly orchestrated by outside forces and the people are getting more and more worried at the obvious manipulation, and angry, without outlet for their feelings. Sometimes I think this is what it must have felt before the Tutsis and Hutus clashed. “They are coming to massacre us all.” “We must defend ourselves.” “The government must be bought off/mad/blind, it is up to us.” etc. Articles like yours are not helpful in such a polarised atmosphere.
Who has an interest to foment such conflict in our hitherto peaceful region? Turkey, obviously, but who else? It’s not hard to guess, though difficult to wrap one’s mind around such large-scale, wanton evil.
The first article cited, with Turkey’s political demands outlined, proves what Dr. Diablo has been saying – this is not any organic “refugee exodus”, it’s an orchestrated blackmail campaign, in which Ankara is the lynchpin. They stage a “refugee crisis” right on schedule and then send their demands by letter with breathtaking chutzpah. I wonder how closely Merkel and Faymann are controlled by their NSA handlers. Orban who sees through the ploy only receives insults for it. A sickening spectacle.
The whole thing is like a chess game to the organisers – these “refugees” are a pawn, or perhaps a higher piece, placed in the heart of the disputed territory, to force a check mate.
I agree with Dr. Diablo. This is not a genuine “refugee crisis” – if it were that easy, why didn’t the Palestinians come to overrun us decades ago? The guys I see here on the streets of Vienna don’t look as though they have travelled thousands of miles; one had plastic slippers that would break on the very first day. Some are very well dressed, and many hold smart phones. None look thin or exhausted. And all that I have seen in my neighbourhood are young men; where are the girls, the older people, the young children? People are understandably worried, yet the media propagate only soothing propaganda.
Turkey was been beaten back from the walls of Vienna twice, after killing everyone to the south and east; are they now trying again, in more insidious fashion? I am convinced that whoever deliberately orchestrated this invasion has highly nefarious motives, even if most of the individuals concerned may be harmless. That they are almost all young men gives me pause – young men are the ideal sacrificial pawns, driven by hubris, testosterone, and inexperience. This will not end well.
As for the responsibility, spare me. Austria has not participated in the bombing of Libya, Iraq, or Syria. We would like to resume our formerly good relations with Iran and Russia, if the EU and US were not constraining us in ways the public cannot even guess at.
Let those who created this mess pay for the consequences, instead of dumping them on everyone else.
I also fail to see the vile bigotry in Farage’s words. Though one may suspect his motives, he makes sense. Certainly a lot more sense than Juncker.
I am in Vienna as I write this and I am worried, because this is clearly a concerted campaign, remotely controlled – from where, and with what purpose? Nothing good, obviously. It is suspicious that the media are all suddenly so uniformly pro-refugee, that most of the guys who come here seem to be young men (where are their sisters, their mothers?) and co-ordinate their campaign with smartphones. People are questioning why now, so suddenly, all at once? And the German media GMX, this morning, actually had an article “explaining” why every refugee needs a smartphone. You don’t have to be a bigot or a right-winger to smell a big fat rat.
The next step, I suspect, is a series of spectacular false-flag attacks pitting us natives against these newcomers, rousing old fears and enmities, trying to import civil war into our hitherto peaceful, prosperous countries. Who has an interest in that? And how are ordinary people to see through these machinations or stand up for their interests, if the media and suborned or blackmailed politicians will only lie and use propaganda, reviling anyone who objects to this invasion?
“can you imagine any other country where almost all the media are against the government, tell outright lies, use any trick in and outside the book, and the government still gets massive public support?!”
Yes, actually. When I read that I immediately thought of Venezuela during the Chavez years.
Amen, but the unravelling will be unpleasant. I hope it will be quick rather than slow, and we can salvage something from the wreck. And don’t think only the Southern members’ populations will be disaffected. Germans, Austrians etc. also have reason to be angry about this mess – the working population everywhere is being screwed for the benefit of ruthless bankers/politicians, not to forget the utterly corrupt mainstream media.
It gave me a bitter amusement to see how the latter had to turn on a dime when the relentless anti-Greek propaganda was countermanded from Washington at the eleventh hour. A few people are waking up in consequence of all these contradictions, but there is a lot of learned helplessness, not only in Greece.
I’m glad you point out the undemocratic mindset of whoever wrote that Bloomberg article, but it does not surprise me. Ever since 2001 (and perhaps earlier, but then it was less noticeable) all the ideals, values, laws, rules that I was brought up on have been systematically and blatantly betrayed by the very institutions and officials entrusted with their safeguarding.
I myself advocated democracy and human rights in earlier years, and thought the legal systems, consitutions, etc. meant something real. Now I see l was just a useful idiot. When it came to the crunch, it all turned out to have been so much self-serving lip service.
At least educated persons in my (baby boomer) and former generations were capable of appreciating the hypocrisy. Many of the younger generation are so dumbed down that they are not even aware of how almost everything they were taught to believe is lies.
Now that I’ve finally taken the trouble to register (though I’ve been a longtime reader) let me say how much I enjoy your site and especially those thought-provoking, beautiful old photos.
