There has GOT TO BE some global force at work getting all these ‘refugees’ into all these countries.
Is it a global war making machine?
It can’t just be ‘cheap labor’ - they don’t want to work.
It can’t just be ‘democrat voters’ because it is going on world wide.
Is it muslim takeover? On a global scale? A million ‘refugees’ is an army. The US army does not have that many men- does anyone know the number of US troops? I think only 50,000 kicked SoDamn HInsane’s ass.
Don’t forget that the majority of Muslim countries are “Islamic Socialist” countries too, so they’re regarded as “fellow travelers” by their atheistic counterparts, at least as far as the destruction of the USA and its allies goes.
Quite obviously, there is. The migrants' travel is not free, it costs more than have (thousands are paid to the smugglers to cross from Turkey to Greece or from Libya to Italy). Tracing the sources of the money should have been the priority a year ago, and given that this was not done, it is reasonable to assume that the money come from the Western governments, not any kind of AQ or ISIS.

In most cases, at least for the Syrians....the money they used for this ‘trip’ was life-savings money. Every penny that they had stored away was pulled out...in some cases relatives contributed money....and some relatives already in western regions sent home to help them make the trip.
The only real cost I see (I’ve watched all of the news pieces on this from both the French and German prospective)...is the rubber-boat deal from Turkey to the nearest Greek isle (roughly five to eight miles). I’ve seen some folks admit paying $3,000 a person to get on this rubber boat deal and launched...with some of these having old outboard motors and some having just paddles). For sixty people....a Turk middle-guy can square away $180,000, for what amounts to a $1,000 rubber boat.
Once you get to the Greek isle, you can catch a ferry ride for something like 50 Euro or less per person. Trains and buses from Greece on? Maybe 150 Euro. Food and water? Another hundred Euro if you eat cheaply.
Summer of last year....they had some kid (maybe 16) who was given roughly 4,000 Euro by a relative and told to just leave Syria. Somehow, the kid made it to Germany and still had 3,000 Euro left in his pocket.
So I don’t think there’s some vast money network behind all of this....except for the Turks who’ve made tons of profit and want the war to continue on.
Amazing how believers in linear, progressive history (i.e., anyone who went to school in the last 50 years) can’t perceive recursive events.
Turkey rising? Obvious. Vienna vs. Berlin? Who today knows of Koniggratz?
Santayana warned against the “progressive” history outlook.
