Okay, so let me see, Jews make slaves and we don't want our women to become witches. What choice do we haven't?
Nice try! Perhaps Vagabond would prefer to speak for himself and perhaps not. However "anotherlife", I can say with all confidence that until Europe cleans up it's policies and engages the problem on the African Continent, you are in serious danger. Since the end of WW1 you folks have owned and faced every problem by hiding your heads in the sand with regards to the mid east. The Muslim nations are your next door buddies to the south, not our's here in the USA. And you are absolutely correct, as Paris and Brussels will be chump change compared to what is in store for all of Europe. I absolutely agree on that point which is why I mentioned Germany to Vagabond. in England.
Actually, I agree with this, but this is only a symptom, not the real problem. The real problem is, that the political and financial system of Europe can survive only by continuous expansion, which leads to the divide and concur policies that the Middle East and Africa are run by. To change this, would mean to change the power brokers that control Europe. And that is impossible because even their names are secret. We have even eliminated the pillar of all banking, bank secrecy, and still are no closer to ever finding out who are controlling Europe. I think it would be naive to postulate that the refugee import was Merkel's original idea.
I agree with the final sentence completely. The European Union could be workable were all concerned thinking in harmony. The problems associated with, and I use this term loosely, uniting several "tribes" under one constituency are unfathomable and unbearable. First and foremost, to the average European, the Capitol for such a Union still resides in their own State. Simply creating one monetary system does nothing but create a false sense of unity. Opening all borders simply allows other's to violate one's own homeland. Mother Russia, all things considered, is still Mother Russia. Western Europe cannot lay claim to the same fact. That is why I feel, Western Europe needs to take a stand, once for all, as a United Singularity against it's southern neighbors. As it is, Europe, in general, is too busy fighting Europe, in general. The same holds true for the Continent of Africa. Apartheid, for all of it's for all of it's faults, did portray a sense of unity. The idea of a State for all was genuine, it simply cannot function when set in the realm of a serfdom. Western Europe as well as greater Europe continue think in terms of "me" rather than "us". And that is where Merkel allowed her alligator mouth to overload her parakeet ass. Since Russia is not going to allow a unified Europe, then a unified Western Europe needs to stand up and be counted, assuming all concerned can relegate regional differences to a back burner of the stove, Britain included. Ultimately, as Greater Europe goes, so goes Africa and that is where the thinking should lie. China also faces the same problem. US President George Herbert Walker Bush, allied with the Bilderberg Group, were incredibly simple minded with the "New World Order" garbage. Never in this lifetime, period!
