We are watching the death of open frontiers in Europe
Telegraph ^ | 10/27/2015 | Philip Johnston

The endless wave of migrants - for which we have utterly failed to prepare - will unleash extremist politics throughout the Continent
br>



The extraordinary aerial photo of a column of refugees and migrants tramping through the fields of Slovenia may come to symbolise the moment the EU began to fall apart. The irony can be lost on no one: it was in order to prevent such scenes happening again in continental Europe that the alliance was forged in the first place in the late 1950s. Yet here we are more than half a century later facing the prospect of thousands – maybe hundreds of thousands – of displaced people freezing and starving in the grasslands of eastern Europe as winter closes in.

It is hard to comprehend the stupefying naivety of those, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who thought it a good idea to send out an utterly self-serving signal a few weeks ago inviting anyone who could make the journey to head for Europe. This was ostensibly aimed at Syrians who had fled the civil war in their homeland; but the exodus has been swelled by migrants from many other countries looking for a better life – and who can blame them?

Locusts is a good comparison
Locusts come to eat the fruits of other people’s’ labor and have the same degree of disrespect for the culture and laws of the host they invade

"All the western governments need to be replaced. They are corrupt to their core. They are delusional and they are committing suicide.

I have said it before and I will continue to say it...... this is what happens when people who once professed belief in the one true God, enjoyed His blessings, then turned their backs on Him.

I don't expect those of you who also have turned your backs on Him to understand this, never the less, it is true.

It appears the politicians have no clue how bad things are in the middle east, or how prosperous Europe looks from there.

I had this discussion with a friend yesterday. He was down because he only makes $43,000 and everybody living around him has new cars and new stuff. I pointed out he was better off than probably 95% of the people on the planet. The determining factor was a roof over his head, food in his belly and a future for his children. Most of the world has none of that. Merkel is an idiot.

“German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who thought it a good idea to send out an utterly self-serving signal a few weeks ago inviting anyone who could make the journey to head for Europe.”

I wonder what the backlash will be on this one?

One thing I can bet is that she and her party are thrown out of office and excluded from power for the next 100 years!

It is true. Humans cannot be entrusted with absolute power. We learned that last century. We must be humble and know our limitations.

Good destroy Open Borders.

Re-establish border controls across our Continent, border controls and passport checks.

Nobody gets into any European nation without showing a valid passport.

No passport NO entry. Period.

Europe for the Europeans. Period.
