Spengler: The Price Of Europe's Fecklessness |
2015-09-08 |
[Asia Times] In Luis Bunuel’s eponymous 1961 film, the young postulant Viridiana leaves her convent to claim her uncle’s rural estate, and creates a refuge for local beggars. They ransack her house in a bachannalia staged to lampoon the Last Supper, and a couple of them rape her. The classic film should be mandatory viewing for European officials caught up in refugee euphoria. This is going to end very, very badly. At this point the floodgates of European sympathy opened, and Germany declared that it would accept 800,000 fugitives, including many from the world’s most brutal war zones. From a security standpoint it is foolhardy in the extreme: 250,000 people have died in Syria’s civil war since 2011 because other people killed them, mostly with small arms or improvised explosives (such as the government’s notorious “barrel bombs”). Such killing is a labor-intensive affair, and requires the participation of many thousands of killers. It is isn’t only that ISIS (and other jihadists) are able to smuggle to Europe as many of their operatives as they care to, as ISIS itself purportedly boasts. The refugee population itself is flush with killers from both sides fleeing the war. The presence of small children does not obviate this; killers have families, too. |

#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> |

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

#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? |

#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. |

#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. |

#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. |

#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." |

#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". |
