Merkel Doubles Down: ‘Time is Running Out To Return Hope To The Millions of Refugees’
Breitbart ^ | 16 Nov 2015 | Donna Rachel Edmunds

Posted on 11/16/2015 12:08:46 PM PST by GonzoII

Merkel has come under fire within her own coalition government for her continued support for open borders, following the revelation that at least one of the terrorists involved in the atrocities in Paris on Friday posed as a Syrian refugee in order to gain entry into Europe.

In August of this year Germany ignored European Union rules and threw open her doors to all Syrian refugees, promising them asylum. Hundreds of thousands came. She also urged the UK to follow her example.

But far from backing away from the policy in light of the Paris attack, she has instead hit back at her critics, telling reporters: "We all know that time is running out to return hope to the millions of refugees," who she described as "innocent" people fleeing war and terrorism, Bloomberg has reported.

Speaking at the G20 summit in Antalya, Turkey, Mrs Merkel said that the immediate task was to track down those responsible for the attack and hold them to account, saying: "We owe that not only to the victims but also to security in our countries and to the refugees, a large number of whom are fleeing terrorism."

Track them down and bring them to justice (ten years in prison). Pass laws that strip civil liberties. The next time it happens: track them down and bring to justice, and strip more civil liberties. I see a pattern.

He knew what they were going to do.
He didn’t go there and in a few weeks recruit
and set up a cell, plan a complicated coordinated attack
then execute it.
Everything was in place before he left.

Apparently, Germany, France and the U.K. think they can manage
a few bombs going off and killing their own citizens, instead of doing
what needs to be done.

They will all soon find out you cannot manage terrorists attacks by
allowing more potential terrorist into their countries.

Merkel is delutional.

"We owe that not only to the victims but also to security in our countries and to the refugees, a large number of whom are fleeing terrorism."

If it is true that "a large number of whom are fleeing terrorism" (doubtful, but either way), then it means that some aren't, raising the obvious question: what are the rest doing in Europe? Given that less than a dozen "immigrants" (invaders, in normal parlance) killed north of 10 dozen innocent civilians, it is horrifying how cavalier the "leadership" of Europe is.

Taking a simple answer at face value is foolishness, stereotyping is foolishness, and now we see European politicians doing both.

I’m going with “she’s NWO open borders”.

Like Jeb, and Marco Rubio. And a bunch of senators and reps.

The fog and moral confusion of the Progressive vision: as the leader of a leading nation, you have a greater moral obligation to the people of Syria and elsewhere than to the safety of your own people.

Your socialist vision also must have new blood to come within your commercial and tax-paying jurisdiction to make up for your declining birth rate and your massive unfunded future social spending obligations to retired workers.

This is the future that socialism implies and is now becoming real

Today it’s Paris. Next week, month or year, the Muzzies will strike in Berlin, Hamburg or Munich. Merkel is criminally insane, but the German people have been “guilted” for their Nazi past that they’ll blindly accept anything in order to avoid being labeled as “hateful.”

“...it is horrifying how cavalier the “leadership” of Europe is.”

They are actually kind of high strung and tetchy. They don’t give a damn about their citizens. They don’t give a damn about their nations, which they regard as obsolete concepts. What they DO give a damn about, to the forfeit of their souls, is their status in globalist, controlling elite.

They have embezzled the continent of Europe, and need to be tried for sedition, as well as their support of domestic terrorism.
