I half expect Angela Merkel to mutter, "Ive always depended on the kindness of migrants," echoing Blanche Du Bois as she descends into madness after reality blows her delusion and self-denial to smithereens. But that was fiction - this is fact.
This policy of rewriting reality is a death sentence for the besieged Europeans and the whole of the continent. The thousands of attackers on New Year's Eve were Muslim migrants. No amount of denial, whitewash and outright lies is going to alter that fact or the catastrophic consequences of such denial.
File this story alongside, "the Islamic State is not Islamic." The EU and these government leaders are stoking the fires - when civil war breaks out in Europe, it is entirely their work.
The EU is an epic failure. Proof that Europe took all the wrong lessons away from the Holocaust. Europe's response to the unimaginable slaughter of WW2 was that nationalism is bad, and so they created this transnational abortion - the EU. The lesson they should have taken away was, "we were evil, we were monsters and we must now be good."
"EU leaders: 'No link' between Cologne sex attacks and migrant crisis," By Matthew Holehouse, Brussels, The Telegraph, January 29, 2016 (thanks to Frank):
European Commission denies link between migration crisis and attacks on women in Germany,
The sex attacks that took place in Cologne on New Year's Eve were simply a "Å“matter of public order" and had nothing to do with the refugee crisis, Jean-Claude Juncker's inner circle believe.
The European Commission will be the "voice of reason" and tell the public that there is no link between the migration crisis affecting the continent and attacks on women in Germany, internal minutes disclose, amid growing fears of a "xenophobic" backlash.
The minutes of the European Commission's weekly cabinet meeting from January 13 hint at officials' fears that the events in Cologne could turn public opinion sharply against the million migrants who have entered Europe.
They spell out Mr Juncker's frustration at the inaction of national governments under pressure from voters, and hint at panic that the inability to halt a growing volume of economic migrants could undermine the "credibility" of the European project. Dimitris Avramopoulos, the migration commissioner, said the EU is facing its "moment of truth".
In events that shocked Germany, a crowd of around a thousand people surrounded and attacked women celebrating the New Year. More than 500 people filed criminal complaints, 40 per cent of which were for sexual assault. At least two cases of rape were reported.
The interior ministry, days after the attacks, said that "people with a migration background were almost exclusively responsible for the criminal acts".
One perpetrator is alleged to have told police he was Syrian, adding: "You have to treat me kindly. Mrs Merkel invited me."
German politicians and newspapers were accused of suppressing the events, while in Leipzig protesters from the Pegida movement marched with banners reading "Rapefugees not welcome". Ukip have said the events show why Britain should vote to leave the EU.
The minutes document a presentation from Frans Timmermans, the first vice president of the European Commission and Mr Juncker's trusted deputy. "As far as the crimes in Cologne were concerned, he said that these were a matter of public order and were not related to the refugee crisis," the minutes say.
He went on to set out how a growing proportion of the arrivals are economic migrants, rather than refugees.
"He also observed that the flow of migrants at EU borders was not slowing down and estimates suggested that only about 40 per cent of them, mostly Syrians, were fleeing war and therefore in need of international protection; meanwhile more and more third country nationals were slipping in who were driven by mainly economic reasons and did not qualify for such protection."
During the discussion that followed, Mr Junckerâ€TMs team stressed "the importance of the Commission's continuing to play its coordinating role and sounding the voice of reason to defuse tensions and counter populist rhetoric."
They called for "the unconditional rejection of false associations between certain criminal acts, such as the attacks on women in Cologne on New Year's Eve, and the mass influx of refugees."
At the same time, they agreed that they must "respond to the concerns of European citizens, particularly by stressing that Europe was also a union of security and values."
Mr Juncker, the Commission president, has been left exasperated by the refusal of eastern European countries to take part in his refugee relocation scheme, and angered at the criticism levelled at his handling of the crisis.
Following the Cologne attacks, Robert Fico, the Slovakian prime minister, said he would accept no refugees as they are "impossible to integrate" and have a "different relationship to women".
The minutes go on: "The President wound up the debate, saying that he did not wish to downplay the current difficulties. The inaction by the Member States was a problem for the management of the refugee crisis in itself, but it also raised the question of the credibility of the Commission, which was struggling to provide political inspiration for Europe.
"In any event, he rejected as unworthy the accusations levelled at the Commission by the leaders of some Member States who impugned the reputation of an institution that was the guarantor of European integration and, in particular, the Schengen area."
The EU authorities are trying hard to out-do Obama with their New Speak Doublespeak.
There will be a heavy price to pay in Europe and the USA for the Politically Correct insanity that has replaced responsible governance.
1984 New world order
This is both the purpose of regional and global governance — a “leadership” which is completely immune from the will of the people it governs.
Makes sense to connect 1984 with Islam. No religion would love “hate week” more than muslims.
I have a bridge over the Rhine River for sale.
Also, no link between socialism and poverty.
well, then...the coming crackdown by vigilante citizens has nothing to do with a crackdown by vigilante citizens.
Following the Cologne attacks, Robert Fico, the Slovakian prime minister, said he would accept no refugees as they are “impossible to integrate” and have a “different relationship to women”.”
Amazing that Slovakia is leading the way here
Believe me, not your lying eyes or your intellect.
This group of EU officials will be seeking residence in Argentina next to the Merkel compound in two years.
But it's not something new.
Joe Biden went to South America and 'invited' all the local thugs there with promises of plane/train/bus fare and food/housing once they arrived.
They come and some of them rape/rob/pillage once they get here.
To paraphrase The Bible: None are so blind as those that will not see.
Muggle says they will go home when the war ends ... which war?
The leaders” are asses. Well-protected asses, apparently.
well-padded also
The EU leaders have bodyguards. They are not going to be attacked by the savages.
Merkel is right. There is absolutely no link between the multiple sex attacks by migrants against German women and the hundreds of migrants who carried out those attacks. How could anyone think there was a connection? And Islam is a Religion of Peace.
people are not that dumb, but here in america we are watching as our country fails...when all they have is lies, it has collapsed..
