Europe discovers its new border is the Sahara
San Diego Union-Tribune ^ | 19 September 2015 | Robert D. Kaplan

Posted on 10/10/2015 1:23:27 PM PDT by Lorianne

A vast crumbling can be heard across Europe, coupled with an ennui that is the ironic upshot of being stunned by too many disparate crises. The Mediterranean, it turns out, is not the southern border of Europe: Rather, that border lies somewhere in the Sahara Desert from where African migrants coalesce into caravans headed north. And as they have throughout history, the Balkans still form a zone of human migration from the Near East. For decades, the dream of the European Union was to become a post-national paradise of prosperity and the rule of law, and gradually, through various association agreements, extend the bounties of civil society to contiguous regions. Now the process is being reversed: The contiguous regions are exporting their instability into Europe itself.

This tumultuous process occurs as the social welfare state – the moral answer of European elites to the carnage of the 20th century – has become nearly impossible to sustain at its current level in some countries. The prolonged multi-year stagnation has begot populist movements that will turn against the latest wave of refugees once the initial bout of public compassion runs its course. Europe’s borders, rather than loosen as they have for decades, will tighten. In a continent where nationality is still determined too much by blood and religion, calls will come for a Great Wall of sorts.

As Europe’s postmodern period commences, a fluid geography is reasserting itself and erasing the last remaining divisions of the Cold War. For it was the survival of totalitarian states in the Middle East and North Africa into the 21st century that helped keep the Islamic masses locked up and safely away from Europe. But as significant parts of the Middle East dissolve into anarchy, from Libya to Afghanistan, Fortress Europe is no more.

Look around the world and birthrates in many areas are plummeting far beyond “replenishment” values needed

And so they “import” the workers and along for the ride comes the Culture as well...

Sound familiar??

All in the name of “saving the Planet”, self loathing to put it mildly...

Bad humans...

Europe’s ruling elites have sold out most of their countries to the IslamoNazis

countries that fail to protect their borders... especially from mass scale invasion or movement of foreigners into their lands...................are no longer sovereign nations.
They are, in essence, mere dumping grounds for whomever or whatever may wish to move in and, with the mass-scale movements we see today, take over.

this is especially true, dangerously so, when the mass-scale invasions consist of Islamic peoples (who are taught from birth that Christians and Jews and others are inferior and are to be taken over and subjugated, or killed outright).

The European peoples need to demand that their rulers repatriate, expel, remove, send the Moslems back to the 56 countries they’ve already taken over.....NOW, while the Europeans still have (one last) chance of regaining their nations

I’ve spent 3 months travelling through west Africa and trust me, Europe wants no part of these people. I was robbed in one way or another daily. Morroca (N Africa), Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Benin, Togo, Ghana and Ivory Coast. Rough people that should stay out of civilized countries.

The horse left the barn, too late to lock the barn doors. Looks like the only thing Europeans will do is try to convert the muslims to drug-using atheist homosexuals and hope they vanish. Then again, the Europeans might vanish long before any converting of muslims happens.

Yes-—the self-loathing is only aimed at heterosexual white Christian people (embedded in ALL Common Core) so they won’t reproduce because they will feel “guilty” for having over one or two children and will learn to hate their evil, racist, bigoted culture-—and not pass it down. Note how no Christians bring their children to “church” anymore-—it is the public school conditioning of hate and the infiltration into the churches by Leftists to make the church irrelevant-—a social club for conditioning people to tolerate the most vile, evil, irrational behaviors which destroy dignity and Reason and purpose in human Life.

The ONLY culture (the Christian one) which created the most Freedoms, the most creative and diverse and wonderful cultures/political systems in the history of the World!!!!

They have to erase the Individualism inside children to create “group think” for the Collective Mindset in children-—so Christianity HAS to go-—be literally erased. They do it through operant conditioning: They associate feelings of revulsion to everything Christian, mock Jesus and ban anything Christian so children learn it is bad and evil, so when children grow up, they are faced with cognitive dissonance when exposed to Truth. They can’t handle truth...or facts. They “feel” what is correct and right the way all Marxists/socialists do.

I see it over and over. (I had five and there was intense hate turned toward me by the elite/professionals, who looked down on breeders (it is the typical homosexual sexist worldview).

That is why there is the Malthusian push of homosexuality, drugging children, increase in autism, esp. in American boys—(prevents families and reproduction).....it is all planned-—for they have to erase the Christian Worldview, since it is the only worldview which defies the slavery that the Leftists have planned for us all.

This materialism/godlessness programmed into our children using schools and TV will collapse freedom, because the Virtue and traditions are not passed down to the next generation. We are replaced with tribal, superficial “thinkers” , ignorant adults, who make easy slaves and worker bees for the corporations.

You have to “kill God” to create a utopia where the State is god and you can reduce grownups to two year olds (just non-thinking slaves happy with cookies).

The evil postmodernists/Marxists knew that very well—to corrupt the culture you indoctrinate the children with images and ideas and attitudes of vice-—so the culture implodes-—exactly what they did to take over Germany with the vulgar, homoerotic Wiemar Republic.

Now, with the forcing of “homosexual’ marriage-—they can sexualize every single child by the age of 6 years, so they can not only warp normal sexual identity formation and normalize sodomy like in the muslim cultures, they will make Vice into a Virtue, which is the EASY way to make “happy slaves” (Aristotle) for the State. Sodomy promotion in our “Justice” (virtue) System will completely erase Christian Ethics in children who embed that concept in irrational childhood. The submerged irrationality will never be ejected-—their understanding of Natural Law (Common Sense) will be non-existent.

The author recognizes Europe’s problems but fails to come up with adequate solutions.

I was in Thailand and became friends with the ambasador to Benin that was leading the US delegation to the new coup government in 2007. At the time I considered myself well traveled (just by the fact I had been to 35 countries) and he told me I haven’t really traveled until I’d been to Africa. In a way he was right. But traveling by backpack and bush taxi 6,000 miles was almost too much. Very rough trip...

I agree with everything you express. But to what end? These are not stupid people, the Illuminati (is it okay to call them that?) Those doing the manipulating have to know that our civilization is the creation of European Caucasians. Every child that isn't born, every ethnic group that is overwhelmed, is a loss to the gene pool. At some point the talent to keep innovating, the creative genius, to govern, to solve problems, will not be filled. How many of those who could solve the problems we face have been denied life?

I can't believe those in charge are so arrogant and removed to think what they're doing can lead to anything but destruction, and they will not be spared. The gene pool will get too thin.
