Germany's Merkel stands by refugee policy after 'terrifying' attacks
CNN ^ | 28 Jul 2016 | Angela Dewan and Jason Hanna

Posted on 07/28/2016 7:44:43 AM PDT by mandaladon

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday described recent attacks in the country and across Europe as "shocking, depressing and terrifying," but she refused to back down on her open-door refugee policy that has attracted fierce criticism following recent assaults in the country.

Germany has been rattled by four attacks in the past two weeks, three of which authorities say have been carried out by asylum seekers or refugees with inspiration from Islamist extremism.

The attacks have given way to mockery by some Germans as well as foreigners, who have dubbed the recent weeks of bloodshed on social media as #MerkelSommer, or even "Merkel's summer of slaughter

One Twitter user posted a pair of hands covered in blood, quoting Merkel with, "We have already accomplished a lot," using the #MerkelSommer hashtag. Merkel vowed to boost security and improve counterterrorism measures, but she stood firm on Germany's position of accepting nearly all asylum seekers found to be legitimate refugees.

But she added that those who came to Germany as refugees but then carry out attacks "mock the country that took them in." She said Germany must improve the process for repatriation of migrants whose asylum applications had been rejected. International treaties forbid countries from returning migrants to places of danger, such a war-ravaged Syria, even if a migrant has been refused refugee status.--------------------What will it take for liberals to wake up???

The One Worlders, the Bilderbergers are stuck on their goal of international subjugation of the masses.

People can learn the easy way or they can learn the hard way.

Meanwhile, just understand that Merkel is compromised and must be removed from office.

The Saudis have bought Europe and plan on taking possession. And, in fact, they are doing just that.

With politicians, if you listen to what they say, you will be forever mystified at what they are doing. If you just watch what they do, you will never be surprised by them again. They are really quite transparent once you turn down the sound.

Merkel once famously called multiculturalism: ‘A Grand Delusion’.

What changed? Extortion I suspect....

NSA tapped German Chancellery for decades, WikiLeaks claims
Rueters | 8 July 2015

EXCERPT:

The US National Security Agency tapped phone calls involving German chancellor Angela Merkel and her closest advisers for years and spied on the staff of her predecessors, according to WikiLeaks.

A report released by the group on Wednesday suggested NSA spying on Merkel and her staff had gone on far longer and more widely than previously realised. WikiLeaks said the NSA targeted 125 phone numbers of top German officials for long-term surveillance .

Hey West Germany, how’s reunification working out for you?

Angela Merkel, East German disaster.

Yeah. Well the muzlim vote machine is too great a temptation for the old hag. Guaranteed votes and money, if she doesn’t bother them too much. Everyone knows the nominal Christians in Germany aren’t having babies. Their replacements are having babies 10 times more than the normal people. Perfect opportunity to get guaranteed votes for decades, until Germany descends into complete barbarity.

Studies out of Britain have shown that children of Muslim immigrants are, in general, more radical than their parents.

That’s what Merkel just doesn’t understand. This problem will not go away with time.

I see Merkel as an utterly convinced ideologue. She believes in the statist, leftist multi-culti, social engineering ideals of the pan EU movement and has soaked in them her entire life. For her, the problems of Marxism are solved by her notions of what the EU should be.

She is not the only one - no one comes to power in the EU’s rigged system who doesn’t think like her

No, Francis is the Antichrist. She’s just one of his minions, like Hillary and Obama.

She is “an” antichrist, though. God is not the author of hostile enemy “migrations”, since HE established the boundaries of nations and where men would live (young, strong men running from war in their own country is despicable on its face). He is not the author of fake compassion (self-righteousness in disguise). He is also anti-Babel, so anyone pushing the borderless Babel temptation today is anti-Him.

Scripture 101.

Pope Che is something alright.

He fell during an event linked on Drudge. Maybe God gave him a warning

Liberals NEVER admit that any of their policies are failures.

Double down on a suicidal policy and call your opponents racists and use the law to jail them while letting the rapeugees run amok.

You can not expect young men that have grown up being told that westerners are the cause of all their lifes problems, that women are second, even third class citizens and that Islam will one day rule the world, to be able to adapt to a free society. They do not want to adapt. They want to change your society. That is why ti will never work.

If I live to be 1,000 I will NEVER understand why liberals keep pushing the invasion of the 3rd world into western nations.

Yes, I understand they want the 3rd worlders to vote for them.

But they, and their children, and their children's children have to LIVE with the consequences.

It's not like there is anywhere left to flee too after they have destroyed the west. It would be different if they were only doing this in Europe and Europeans could flee to America after they have destroyed their ancestral homelands. But this disease of the mind has spread across the entire western world. There IS NO PLACE LEFT TO RUN TO! There is NO WHERE in the western world that isn't pushing this agenda. Everywhere else... just the opposite is occurring.
