Sweden Introduces Temporary Border Controls to Stem Migrant Flow
WSJ ^ | 10-11-2015 | Charles Duxbury

Posted on 11/11/2015 3:38:07 PM PST by tcrlaf

Sweden said late Wednesday that it would introduce temporary controls at its borders in a bid to reduce a record influx of migrants amid growing social and political tension in the Nordic nation.

The border checks—which are planned to last an initial 10 days, beginning Thursday—mark an about-face to Sweden’s long-standing open-arms policy toward the thousands of migrants arriving in Europe by the day. The decision signaled that Sweden, which along with Germany has been a top destination for asylum-seekers, was prepared to undercut the principle of passport-free travel enshrined in Europe’s Schengen Agreement to help it cope with the migration crisis.

“More refugees are reaching Sweden than ever before,” Interior Minister Anders Ygeman told a news conference late Wednesday. “Migration offers opportunities for Sweden but also big challenges.”

The move comes as European leaders started a meeting in Malta that is expected to be dominated by discussions over how to deal with the crisis. Sweden’s policy change is likely to put particular pressure on German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is at the core of Europe’s migration policy and whose own open-door policy has sparked criticism at home and abroad.

As of today, Sweden will no longer provide refugee housing, as well.

Too little, too late, I think. Civil War could be just around the corner for much of Europe. Thank you, Mr. Soros.

[Too little, too late, I think. Civil War could be just around the corner for much of Europe.]

I’m been thinking most of those things. Except I’m certain there are going to be violent clashes all over the parts of Europe that are following the Merkel model. One can draw a line right up through it. Just follow the trail of refugees and that’s where it’s going to spike, IMHO.

I have been thinking that when I’ve seen massive groups of these headchoppers running, that they have already begun plying their trade and have taken over small towns.

That LiveLeak video said one town of 36 people was being forced into receiving 320 immigrants.

Unlike a few of my posts, there are no typos there. Those are the numbers.

They are crushing these small towns with people overwhelmed 9-to-1, basically.

Gee, NWO Open Borders politicians. Where could we find them? All over America, too.

Soros should be tried in absentia in each affected country for terrorism and sedition. Leave him no place to go, and give him the very long delayed war crimes tribunals he has evaded for decades.

Destroying nationality is one of the Globalist goals.

Once everyone is reduced to peonage, with no sense of nationhood, they can be exploited ruthlessly by trans-nationals in search of the lowest cost goods to sell into the highest cost markets.

The peons will react with inchoate rage demanding state sponsored welfare schemes well beyond even what Sweden offers. The State Capitalists - which is what Soviet Communism really was - will gladly oblige, with the blessing of World Government.

And the coup will be complete. A trans-national elite - the Tranzis as they have been called - will control billions of people without any national identity as nothing more then production units to be managed. For the benefit of the elite, of course. Because...they are the elite.

I would say it’s well on its way.

The images coming from Europe are sobering. Scary.

It’s 1938.

The parties of the right in Sweden have been gaining big in popularity, so naturally the parties of the left who causeed this mess are scared they’ll lose power. So in the interest of keeping it, The left they will scale back just abit and hope to ride it out, then go back to shoving as many muslims down their people’s throat as they can.

Hopefully the nonsuicidal swedes won’t be tricked, guess we’ll see.

Viva le backlash.
