#3 For some reason I'm reminded of a life guard course I once took. One of the first lessons was "don't let the drowning man drag you down with him".

#4 The Islamic diaspora has become the Muslim invasion. See another posting at this site today entitled "Flashback to February 2015: ISIS threatens to flood Europe with refugees."

#5 Europe committed suicide a hundred years ago. We've wasted a lot of time, lives, and resources trying like Justinian in trying to revive the 'old empire', allowing the bankrupt European political plague of power, hate and nihilism to continue to corrupt our own culture.

#6 g(r)om I had that same life saving course and you metaphor is spot on. I can only pray that the US will turn away from the same suicidal course.

#7 My lifeguard course instructed a slap or two if possible, in order to bring the struggling victim to his or her senses.

In this case, I believe 'convenience' would dictate swimming away and saving one's self.

#8 Isn't this proof that the nations they come from are failed and should be re-colonized so that law and order can prevail and they don't have to risk death and cold weather?

#9 The Camp of the Saints (Le Camp des Saints) is a 1973 French apocalyptic novel by Jean Raspail. The novel depicts a setting where in Third World mass immigration to France and the West leads to the destruction of Western civilization. Almost forty years after publication the book returned to the bestseller list in 2011.[1] The title is a reference to the Book of Revelation (Rev 20:9).

The Camp of the Saints is a novel about population migration and its consequences. In Calcutta, India, the Belgian government announces a policy in which Indian babies will be adopted and raised in Belgium. The policy is reversed after the Belgian consulate is inundated with poverty-stricken parents eager to give up their infant children.

An Indian "wise man" then rallies the masses to make a mass exodus to live in Europe. Most of the story centers on the French Riviera, where almost no one remains except for the military and a few civilians, including a retired professor who has been watching the huge fleet of run-down freighters approaching the French coast.

The story alternates between the French reaction to the mass immigration and the attitude of the immigrants. They have no desire to assimilate into French culture but want the goods that are in short supply in their native India. Although the novel focuses on France, the rest of the West shares its fate.

Near the end of the story the mayor of New York City is made to share Gracie Mansion with three families from Harlem, the Queen of the United Kingdom must agree to have her son marry a Pakistani woman, and only one drunken Soviet soldier stands in the way of thousands of Chinese people as they swarm into Siberia. The one holdout until the end of the novel is Switzerland, but by then international pressure isolating it as a rogue state for not opening its borders forces it to capitulate.

Had the author Raspail written that the actual invasion would have been from LILY WHITE MUSLIMS,
instead of dark skinned Dravidian Hindus, he would have been bankrupted, jailed AND murdered by France's government...but anyone can read between the lines...It made it convenient to accuse anyopposition of racism

Another six months and Europe will be burning...along with the USA...

#10 Another good reason why the Brits need to hold onto the Falklands.

#11 The horror has now piled up on Europe’s doorstep, thanks evidently to the skill of Turkish gangs who have turned the Turkey-to-Balkans smuggling route into a superhighway.

Oh my. How much Afghan heroin do you suppose these "refugees" are bringing with them>
