Barbarians at the Gate

The writing is on the wall. Whatever the Greek outcome with Europe, the wheels have been set in motion. The Europe we have seen in the last decades is no more. The European Union wagon and its wheels will continue to squeak, run, break an axle and then fall apart. The German driver will crack the whip but as my Dad (bless him) used to say "you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink". Or as the Americans say..."Elvis has left the building".

Whether we like it or not, history has a way of repeating itself. The European countries have never really believed there could be a marriage of convenience with Germany. It's more like kissing your sister. And then there are the multi-cultural policies of Europe. "We will let the Muslims immigrate, teach them our culture, and they will magically turn into Europeans. We will integrate the Ukraine with us, because our way is vastly superior to the Russian way". What arrogance.

As we are slowly finding out, "our way" might be superior, but nobody is buying it. As the economies of  Southern Europe crash, unemployment in some of these countries is higher than during the Great depression of the thirties. Muslim immigration is on the rise, taking jobs from Europeans. "No Go Zones" are all over Europe. Anti-establishment parties are growing more popular by the day. The man made money creation experiment known as  "Quantitave Easing" (QE) by the Americans, Japanese and now Europe is creating economic bubbles and social differences. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer while the middle classes are slowly eroded. This is an incredible breeding ground for Jihadists and their cronies. Manna from heaven.

The history of UN votes against Israel has been well documented. Leading the charge have been the multi-cultural Europeans. The name of the game is appeasement. The "peasants" of Islam need to watch and learn the art of Western culture. Truth be told, they have watched and learned. Just not what they were intended to learn. They learned that western society has many "convenient idiots". They learned that the weak underbelly of western society is saturated with fear. They smiled as the politically correct left allied themselves with the the poor under trodden Islamic masses. The great minds of Europe reached out to the crocodile: "We want you to have what we have. We will teach you about women's rights, gay rights and human rights". Then the law of unintended consequences took over.

When ISIS conquered Mosul, the first order of the day was to establish high speed internet connections, so the population could watch beheadings in hi-def. Nothing sells better than fear in most cultures, so thank the heavens for CNN. Fear sells advertising, creates monsters, helps us to turn to our leaders in time of need and all in the name of freedom of the press. We have a right to know! Then following the terrorist attacks against Jewish and Christian values in Belgian, France and Denmark, the panicked politicians explained to us wide eyed innocents that the attacks were not religious in nature, and nobody in particular had been targeted. Wow!

Thereupon city officials called off Braunschweig's (Germany) carnival parade only 90 minutes before it was scheduled to begin after uncovering what they called a "specific threat of an Islamist attack," BBC reported Feb. 15. Some 250,000 people attend the city's parade every year. The move came hours after a gunman killed 2 civilians and wounded 5 police officers in separate attacks in Copenhagen. This must be the European multi-cultural way of dealing with the threat. Good luck to them. The wheels are coming off and the barbarians are at the gate. Believe it!
