The turmoil in Europe has sparked a renaissance in regional sentiment. As the European Union wipes out ever more national distinctions, people are returning to local roots. Many regions now want autonomy and even independence. http://www.amren.com/features/2013/04/unruly-europe-part-two/
Today Europe faces a crisis unlike any in the past. It is a slow march towards the precipice, made possible by the treachery of the very people who should be defending Europe. Fortunately, there is a growing sense of what is at stake, and Europeans are taking the first steps towards ensuring their long-term survival. http://www.amren.com/features/2013/04/unruly-europe-part-i/
Cyprus is a small island in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Turkey and Syria. On a map it seems to belong more in the Middle East than Europe, but for a host of historical reasons it is included. The 1.1 million people who live there are citizens of the European Union. I don’t live there, so should that matter to me? It matters because the banking abomination being attempted in Cyprus is the first of its kind in modern times—the literal confiscation of “taxes” from bank accounts. Cyprus should matter to you if you have money in any Western bank, prefer to use credit cards instead of cash, or believe in the rule of law. http://takimag.com/article/why_cyprus_matters_guy_somerset/print#axzz2OrgW6VoY
Cyprus is a big pain in the neck for one and all. Its banks are bust due to reckless lending to Greece. The sunny island is a beehive of tax evasion, money laundering, dodgy trade and espionage. Now, the threatened bankruptcy of Cyprus has triggered the latest European financial crisis. http://lewrockwell.com/margolis/margolis333.html
When does banksters’ extortion become outright theft? The latest example and escalation by the placing a levy fee on bank deposits in the tax haven of Cyprus illustrates the bold step of seizing private liquid saving accounts, under the guise of a government tax. The prospects of an all out run on the banking system have jumped tenfold. Essentially, a government is using the power of the state, to steal funds not because of the bankruptcy of a banking institution, but because of a failure of the entire EU financial system. http://www.batr.org/negotium/032013.html
The economic implosion of Europe is accelerating. Even while the mainstream media continues to proclaim that the financial crisis in Europe has been “averted”, the economic statistics that are coming out of Europe just continue to get worse. http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/by-the-numbers-20-facts-about-the-collapse-of-europe-that-everyone-should-know
With the Eurozone having being displaced from the financial headlines by the American presidential election, you might have briefly thought that its problems had gone away. They haven’t. It’s just that the public is expected to absorb one major story at a time. And now that the presidential election is done and dusted, Europe is rapidly returning to the headlines. This is not desired by the powers-that-be, who desperately need us to believe things will get better with a little patience. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-11-20/guest-post-europe-now-sinking-fast
Everyone knows that a major reason for the dominant position of the USA after World War II was that Europe and Asia were left in rubble. The 8th Air Force in Europe and the 20th Air Force in the Pacific did a thorough job. “Bomber” Harris of England pitched in, and Curtis LeMay’s B-29 fire bombings in Japan were so effective that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were spared so that the new atomic weapons would have pristine targets. When peace arrived in 1945, the Cold War suddenly broke out, and that took Russia, East Europe, and China out of the picture. Combined with a strong dollar that was much in demand and a matchless military, U.S. manufacturing made the transition from war to peace and emerged stronger than ever. This enabled the post-WWII U.S. economic boom. Flash forward to today. Now our manufacturing base is in ruins and the dollar is a shadow of its former self. However, our military is still matchless, our provocateurs are global. Putting aside the issue of why and how our manufacturing and dollar were gutted, the question is…what now? I look at the spread of financial fraud from our shores to Europe and see two “air forces” carrying the bomb loads: New York and London – a repeat from WWII. We have teamed up once again to level Europe. And once again, the peripheral countries go down first: Greece, France, Italy, et al. This time, though, Spain and Portugal did not get to declare “neutrality.” Once again Germany is putting up a ferocious fight. http://maxkeiser.com/2012/11/09/america-wages-financial-war-on-europe/
The lack of enthusiasm for the latest effort to centralize all banking and monitory regulation within the European Central Bank suggests that the surreal struggle for continental unanimity still resides in the minds of banksters. Elites still seek to perfect the class distinguish of century old traditions, into a modern version of feudal serfdom. Globalism is the brainchild of the cabal of international banking. As long as a financial monopoly dominates political institutions, the end result will be more consolidation of the rule of the House of Rothschild. http://www.batr.org/negotium/103112.html
The first nations to repudiate sovereign debt will have the advantage; this is why restored nations should repudiate these debts and not burden their new national economy and citizens with this junk debt. In addition, these nations should repudiate their existing politicians and representatives, controlled by the financial elites who supported the debt accumulation; because once independence is restored there is nothing to stop politicians on the take from doing the same thing again. http://www.thedailybell.com/28196/Ron-Holland-Secession-Fever-Sweeping-Europe-Meaningless-Without-Debt-Repudiation
Forget black swans, Nigel Farage is rapidly turning himself into the black sheep of the EU Parliament with his constant stream of truthiness and honest pragmatism. It seems the broadly nodding-donkeys that fill the chamber remain cognitively dissonant to any and everything in the real world – hanging instead on the next soundbite from Van Rompuy or Barroso on how well things are going, or how the crisis is ‘almost’ over. If only the Germans would bless them all with their money. In one his plainest-speaking rants, Farage provides clarity to his ‘peers’ on just exactly what the bailouts of Greece, Portugal, Ireland, and soon to be Spain and Italy are actually about – the “total subjugation of the states to a completely undemocratic structure in Brussels.” Is it any wonder Samaras and crew – while happy to accept cash and make promises – are pulling away from yet another (this time is the last time) Troika-driven austerity push? “The euro-zone is in a very dark place; economically, socially, and politically.” http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-10-23/nigel-farage-total-subjugation-europe
Slobodan Milosevic, Radovan Karadzic, and Ratko Mladic are all names that have been widely associated with war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and genocide. All three are Serbian Christians who were politicians and military officers during the war, and their trials at the International Court in The Hague have been widely reported. However, the Bosnian/Muslim side was hardly innocent. Men such as Sefer Halilovic, Naser Olic, and Rasim Delic were responsible for murders, torture, and rape, but only served short prison sentences or were even acquitted of charges. By the time of the NATO bombings of Serbia at the end of the war in 1999, the West had officially decided that Serbia was responsible for the war and had to be punished. As American General Wesley Clark explained during the bombing of Serbia: Let’s not forget what the origin of the problem is. There is no place in modern Europe for ethnically pure states. That’s a 19th century idea and we are trying to transition into the 21st century, and we are going to do it with multi-ethnic states. Men such as Ratko Mladic are portrayed as monsters by the Western media but they are heroes for many Serbs. The Bosnians were the official victims, so they have not been pursued for war crimes with the same vengeance. http://www.amren.com/features/2012/10/race-in-eastern-europe/
Factory output has shrunk for 14 consecutive months and businesses must continue to trim the fat of their organizations during these recessionary times. The report showed that 18.2 million people were jobless in September; this is an increase of 34,000 people versus the previous month. As living standards fall and livelihoods are being wretched voter anger is becoming increasingly palpable, especially in countries such as Spain and France. History provides countless lessons as to the political consequences of detached economic policies and their real effects. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-10-01/eurozone-unemployment-record-levels
On September 12th 2012 the Dutch people have convinced themselves they actually had something to choose from on election day. The current ruling party in the Netherlands was declared winner, it’s leader (a self-proclaimed “liberal” named Mark Rutte who attended the 2012 Bilderberg conference) recently shoveled some 4 billion euro into the pockets of European bankers, with an option of some 140 billion euro more, when the European Commission deems more cash-injections necessary. Meanwhile the little people were allowed their glorious day of self-deception in the voting booth. Some of the political parties on the ballot pretended opposition to EU supreme rule, others openly embraced it. http://www.infowars.com/sovereignty-evaporating-europes-steady-slide-into-tyranny/
We are all witnessing a reemergence of the silent holy alliance today—an alliance between the ex-Commissar and the Merchant, i.e. the marriage between the left-winger and big business. The European Left is in favor of mass immigration, given that the exotic picture of the non-European immigrant represents for it now the ersatz symbol of its long gone proletariat. For the capitalist, it is beneficial to bring people from the Third World into Europe, because they can best serve the interests of anonymous capital. The capitalist strives towards the removal of his people, because his people are too expensive for his business transactions. A leftist “antifa” wants to erase his people because it will always remind him of the rising “fascist beast.” But the Church also bears a heavy responsibility for the decomposing situation of the European nations, especially with its ecumenical parlance of “help thy neighbor.” Americans, Europeans and White Christians are nowadays more concerned about the welfare of non-European peoples than the welfare of their own. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2012/09/the-future-of-the-european-peoples-part-2/
The ethnic and demographic situation in Europe today looks completely different from 40 years ago. Therefore, it is appropriate to reevaluate differently terms such as ‘nation’, ‘state’ and ‘national consciousness’. My main thesis is that the future of the European peoples, or rather their chances of survival, lie in the rejection of petty nationalism, in the rejection of all forms of interethnic resentments, as well as in the revival of the idea of the Reich. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2012/09/the-future-of-the-european-peoples-part-1/
To oppose multiculturalism means to respect the sovereignty of other countries and their right to define the cultural ideals they wish to emphasize within their boundaries, and at the same time, to claim this very right in Europe within the context of European culture. Europeans should define the values and laws that apply in Europe and immigrants from other cultures should respect these. Just as Europeans should not dictate norms in other countries and have no right to intervene in other countries’ internal affairs, non-Westerners should not have rights to define fundamental values in Europe. http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2012/09/multiculturalisms-failure-in-europe.html
At this point the Europeans are so craven and degraded they deserve to be indentured servants of the Chinese, which they will be. The debt they are using to finance their bulging bureaucracies, bloated welfare rolls, giant pensions, and so forth is largely coming from the banks. But the banks are all bankrupt too, partly because they’ve lent so much capital to bankrupt governments. So you’ve got two sets of bankrupt institutions trading debt back and forth between themselves. It doesn’t help to say that it’s the PIIGS that are in the worst shape, because it’s the banks in the supposedly wealthier countries that own the PIIGS’s debt. They are all tied together. http://www.caseyresearch.com/articles/doug-casey-eurocrash-baked-cake?ppref=GLD231ED0612A
It wasn’t all that long ago that money was actually made of something scarce– a real asset that couldn’t be conjured at will by an appointed bureaucrat. In time, money supplies grew to be controlled by governments and banking cartels in the form of worthless pieces of paper. Since then, it’s devolved further to strings of bits in a giant database; our money supply is nearly all digital. As my friend Tim Price characterizes it, what passes as ‘money’ today is merely an abstraction of an abstraction of the real thing. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-post-experiment-has-failed-are-you-ready
Dismissing the propaganda-like vision of growth and jobs that is now at the forefront of any and every word from the status-quo seekers that are the European Elite, England’s Nigel Farage notes the hypocrisy of the forthcoming summit’s agenda. The Euro itself was supposed to create growth and jobs and yet it is actively destroying both of those things – more of the same – as the medicine is killing the patient. He attacks the idea that the world will end if Greece were to exit the Euro – “European leaders say if Greece leaves the sky will fall in – it won’t!” – though notes that there will indeed be a difficult few weeks – and when challenged by a Greek politician (who questions what will happen when gas prices for Greeks rise on Farage’s suspected 50% devaluation in the Drachma), Nigel, offering the other side of the coin related to real growth, investment, and innovation to compete with expensive imports pointedly remarks: “Give Greece a chance because stuck inside the Euro, you are going to be literally destroyed.” http://www.zerohedge.com/news/nigel-farage-europes-economic-suicide
Bankers are running scared because so many banks are on the verge of insolvency or have already reached that state. So they are not lending. They are still way over-leveraged and trying to work off all the bad loans they still have on their books. Because it is difficult for companies to finance their operations, economic activity, pretty much everywhere throughout the EU, continues to contract. This in turn is causing more bad loans at the banks and yet more contraction of bank loans to businesses. http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2012/5/15_Turk_-_Expect_Tremendous_Chaos,_Europe_Deteriorating_Rapidly.html
After the Greek elections struck fear into the hearts of the global banksters, the fallout remains uncertain. If the next Greek election produces an anti-austerity government, Greece will almost certainly make a speedy exit from the euro. If this happens — and it is looking increasingly inevitable — the consequences for the global economy are spectacularly gloomy. Yet U.S. media and U.S. politicians are largely silent on the issue, almost as if nothing were happening. http://www.countercurrents.org/cooke140512.htm
How Europe’s crisis resolves itself as yet remains unknown. But with Sunday’s returns from France and Greece, the mega-trends on the Old Continent are unmistakable. And for the European Union, they are ominous. Nationalism — be it economic nationalism or ethnic nationalism — is ascendant. Transnationalism and multiculturalism are in headlong if not irreversible retreat. The European project is itself imperiled. http://buchanan.org/blog/is-this-the-end-of-one-europe-5072
With the demonstrations, riots, and governments falling like dominoes, Europe’s ruling elites are losing the confidence of the people and its ruling parties are bleeding support to the more militant left and right. http://www.vdare.com/articles/the-issue-is-borders-is-transnational-europe-sailing-on-the-titanic
The European “elites” are using Greece to persuade the sheeple that if the Greek problem is not fixed, Southern Europe will go bankrupt which will trigger the collapse of the whole European financial system and thus the bankruptcy of the whole European economy. The “problem” is that the so-called Eurozone (where the euro currency replaced the national currencies) is doomed to collapse since the Southern European states (as well as the Eastern ones) cannot sustain their economy if they can’t devalue their own currency in order to boost export and tourism (they are now sucked to the euro currency.) That’s where corrupt globalist politicians played their role in weakening their own economy by every means but the current “global recession” triggered by the international Khazar bankers was the main part of the plan to bring the Southern and Eastern European economies to a breaking point as well as to weaken the US economy and collapse the Chinese, Indian and Russian economies. http://www.henrymakow.com/the_secret_solution_to_greece.html
An economic nightmare is descending on Europe. With each passing month, the economic numbers across Europe get even worse. At this point it is becoming extremely difficult for anyone to deny that Europe is plunging into a full-blown economic depression. In fact, some parts of Europe are already there. http://lewrockwell.com/rep3/europe-plunging-into-depression.html
It may be a new year, but we are beset by the same problems that have been recurring since the crisis began. In most cases, those problems have worsened. One of the few improvements has been in the recapitalisation of Anglo-Saxon banks, but continental European banks seem acutely vulnerable to the potential outcome of a disorderly sovereign default. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-post-final-countdown
Increasing numbers of Europeans are migrating to South America. http://amren.com/news/2012/01/europeans-migrate-south-as-continent-drifts-deeper-into-crisis/
The object, as we are seeing, is the repudiation of the EU treaty, for rules allowing the ECB to create money and credit out of thin air, and act like the Fed and other central banks. Illuminist Mario Draghi will do his best to see that this happens. Of course, thrown in for good measure will be the stripping of sovereignty from the 17-euro zone members. These solutions will negatively affect both the euro and the US dollar, both for now the best of the worst. The migration, the flight to quality, will of course lead to gold and silver, as it has been over the past 12 years, as we predicted it would. Gold is the only viable alternative from a monetary viewpoint, and it will continue to be so. In spite of US government intervention, and manipulation of many markets, including silver and gold, they relentlessly increase in value, because they are the only real money. Every time they knock gold and silver down all they do is give buyers the opportunity to buy more at artificially reduced prices. http://www.theinternationalforecaster.com/International_Forecaster_Weekly/Economic_Elites_Strip_Away_European_Sovereignty
All financial eyes are once again trained on the European debt crisis, with investors worldwide wondering how it will play out. Not well, I’m afraid. Not well for the Europeans to be sure. And it will be costly for Americans, too. Some of the pain has already been felt by investors who had accounts with Jon Corzine’s MF Global, now bankrupt from chasing higher-yielding bonds in the Eurozone. After a lifetime in high office and at Goldman Sachs, Corzine must have thought that if anything went wrong, everybody on Wall Street would just get bailed out again. He may have been right about that in the long run, but his timing was off. (And to think that Corzine, who may now qualify to be a bunkmate of Bernie Madoff, could have easily ended up as U.S. Treasury Secretary. While that is a story for another day, it goes a long way to explain the financial mess the U.S. government is in.) http://lewrockwell.com/goyette/goyette21.1.html
UK-based think tank Demos has put out a report on supporters of European populist groups (“The rise of Populism in Europe can be traced to online behaviour”). The report is based on over 10,000 survey responses filled out by followers of Facebook pages maintained by 14 such groups in 11 countries (e.g., France’s Front National, Belgium’s Vlaams Belang, the Dutch Party for Freedom, Sweden Democrats, and the BNP). Supporters of these groups are predominantly young (63% under 30) compared with 51 per cent of Facebook users overall; 75% are male. This is good news because young people are the future. It is they who will suffer the most from the ongoing disaster to our civilization resulting from the massive invasion of non-Whites. These results also show that substantial numbers of young people are able to develop these attitudes despite growing up in a media and educational culture that has been saturated by the opposite attitudes since before they were born. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2011/11/an-encouraging-report-on-populist-attitudes-in-europe/
Eurozone economies are cratering. Every fix tried so far failed. Combining 17 dissimilar countries under one monetary/fiscal system assured disaster waiting to happen. British economist Bernard Connolly knew it before the euro’s 1998 introduction. His 1995 book titled, “The Rotten Heart of Europe: The Dirty War for Europe’s Money” called it a harebrained idea doomed to fail. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/11/20/eurozone-doomsayer-got-it-right/
The best thing for the Greeks and for Europe is for Greece to be asked to quietly leave the Euro club. That’s the simple, brutal solution to the current financial crisis that is threatening to tear apart the European Union and provoke a global financial crisis. http://lewrockwell.com/margolis/margolis266.html
The cradle of democracy is under attack. The Inherent Autonomy of the human spirit is at stake. What was won at the Battle of Thermopylae, was lost in the banksters board rooms that control the EU. http://batr.org/autonomy/110611.html
Alright I am going to kick things off with Europe and get that out of the way as quickly as possible. Nothing has changed and absolutely nothing has been accomplished. There is no “solution” to the crisis that will not result in massive pain, confusion and wealth decimation. The reason is patently obvious. At least half the continent is completely and helplessly bankrupt. There are only two outcomes to the entire situation. Either the sovereign debts are written off aggressively and the banking system declared insolvent and restructured or the ECB decides to turn on those printing presses to the tune of trillions and destroys the purchasing power of the union in Zimbabwe-like fashion. People will read this and think I am exaggerating . The phrase “it takes 5 minutes” keeps running through my head because all it takes is a small amount of time to see the situation for what it is. I am not that smart. This is obvious. The scary thing is that it is abundantly clear that the vast majority of U.S. investors have not bothered to take the 5 minutes necessary to understand how extreme and binary the outcomes to all this is. Their clients will suffer massively in the months and years ahead as a result of their laziness and lack of macro curiosity. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/michael-krieger-explains-why-it-takes-only-5-minutes
Central banks are accommodators to keep their system going, because if the elitists lose control of the financial systems they lose their power and wealth. That in part is why no effort has been made to restore economies. These extraordinary measures have for the moment kept US, UK and European economies from falling off a cliff, but that game cannot be played indefinitely. http://dprogram.net/2011/10/27/europe-wallows-in-insolveable-problems-bob-chapman/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
The German government is already in the process of protecting its banks and we are told contingency plans are in the works to return to the Deutschmark. The possibility of six sovereign defaults accompanies by bank failures looms in the distance. Considering the condition of other European banks, and the possibility that three major French banks may be purchased by China, we could see disruption in the global banking system. The advocates of world government wanted all world banks interconnected and now that control connectively will act as a lynchpin to possibly destroy the entire system. http://www.theinternationalforecaster.com/International_Forecaster_Weekly/Euro_Reckoning_Amongst_Long_Term_Threats
Marine Le Pen
Marine Le Pen is reshaping France’s political landscape and the tremors go beyond people like this reconstructed Trotskyist. Her father played up worries about immigration, but the anxiety Marine addresses is economic and deep. The National Front’s new target is the oppressive power of global finance, and the mood she is tapping spreads across Europe. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/special-report-france-far-capitalizes-euro-crisis-070601225.html
In the 1990s, the Chancellor Helmut Kohl’s government had a difficult time convincing Germans that a switch from the mark to the euro was in the best interest of the country. Despite the weakness of the currency amidst a rapidly spreading debt crisis, Chancellor Angela Merkel has said she will defend the euro. According to Pipi Malmgren, however, Germany will abandoned the euro and re-introduce the Deutschmark mark and this will spell disaster for the beleaguered euro. She claims the German government has already sent orders for the currency to the printers. http://www.infowars.com/germany-prepares-to-exit-euro-as-sovereign-debt-crisis-grows/
Politically, it may not be possible to cajole or coerce the Germans, indefinitely, into saving the eurozone, the collapse of which could bring on a depression and bring down the European Union itself. There is another reason the European Monetary Union and EU may be headed for the boneyard: demography. Looking over the 2008 World Population Prospects from the United Nations’ Department of Economic and Social Affairs, one finds that the nation which is to carry Europe back to solvency is aging, shrinking and dying. Every decade of this century, Germany will become less able to sustain its dynamism, let alone carry the continent. http://www.vdare.com/articles/can-a-geriatric-germany-save-europe
An international survey of 23 countries by Ipsos has found opposition to immigration in numerous countries across the world, with majorities often considering its effects to be negative and its scale excessive. European nations were typical of this trend. Majorities in countries as diverse as Germany, South Africa, Russia, Turkey and the United States were found to consider immigration to have a “very or fairly negative impact.” http://www.euractiv.com/en/socialeurope/europeans-overwhelmingly-immigration-poll-news-507074
Lovers of globalism Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel
Germany and France are calling on all euro-zone members to enshrine a balanced budget in their constitution, as well proposing a collective “government” led by the EU president.
In one of the most dramatic expansions of state power since the onset of the EU debt crisis, France and Germany have proposed a united euro-zone government to guide the bloc’s finances as well as having power to overrule national governments. http://rt.com/news/merkel-sarkozy-eurobonds-eu/
Yesterday, the European contagion spread to Italy and Spain. The sovereign debt of those two countries swooned—for no discernible reason. No discernible reason whatsoever: The Italian and Spanish bond markets just sort of . . . plopped, like when a learning-to-walk toddler suddenly plops on his behind? Exactly like that: For no reason whatsoever. The only conclusion that I can draw from this Monday swoon is that we’ve hit the tipping point: This is the start of the eurozone endgame. It is now only a matter of time before the eurozone breaks apart. Therefore, get back in your seats, buckle up, and brace yourselves good—‘cause it’s gonna be a bumpy ride. http://gonzalolira.blogspot.com/2011/07/beginning-of-end-of-europe.html
The European Union is in bad shape. Not only is the common currency in a shambles and the economies of many member states moribund, but young Europeans no longer see how the EU helps them.

Right-wing populist parties are on the rise across large swathes of Europe, as demonstrated in Finland this week. Bolstered by resentments over the EU, immigration and Islam, their leaders have seized the moment. http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,14998932,00.html
Europeans are losing their illusions about Israel, our survey shows. Policy is out of step with the public. The survey of 7,000 people in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Britain reveals only a small minority (10%) now believe their countries should support Israel rather than the Palestinians, while many more, 39%, think they should not. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/mar/14/europe-israel-palestine-european-disconnect-public
Prominent Muslim and Jewish leaders from across Europe pledged to stand together against the rise of extreme-right xenophobic and racist parties that represent an escalating peril to ethnic and religious minorities across Europe, including Jews and Muslims. These leaders made the pledge during a gathering in Paris of the “Coordinating Committee of European Muslim and Jewish Leaders.” http://www.ejpress.org/article/49527
The Middle East is not the only region witnessing a growing disconnect between governments and people. In Europe, a major survey has shown that governments there have become increasingly out of tune with the views of their people on the conflict in Palestine. This was one of the major findings of a poll carried out by the London-based polling institution ICM government and Social Research unit on behalf Al Jazeera Centre for Studies, the Middle East Monitor and the European Muslim Research Centre. The survey, the first of its kind to exclusively focus on European perceptions of the conflict, was conducted in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands and Britain. Since its creation in 1948, Europeans have empathised with the state of Israel. They showered it with unlimited diplomatic, political and military assistance; including a nuclear capability, courtesy of the French. The survey reveals that there is now a distinct lack of appetite to support practises that are manifestly illegal, unfair and oppressive. http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2011/03/2011313305512849.html
The current illegal invasions of blacks and Arabs into Europe represents the first real crisis of Liberalism; that is, an existential crisis, not a philosophical crisis. The philosophical crisis has been snowballing for some time with regard to the dogma of Racial Equality. That too is now coming to a head what with the leaders of “Great Britain”, France, and Germany all declaring that multi-culti has failed. Next year they will say, “multi-racial.” http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2011/03/a-camp-of-the-saints-moment/
France has some 751 “No Go” zones. The French government has labeled these areas “sensitive urban zones” that are dangerous for whites and non-Muslims to enter. French writer Guy Milliere said even the local authorities stay out of these zones. “It means that it’s the part of the country where the police don’t go,” he said. “The firemen don’t go and even doctors and ambulance don’t go, except if they have no other choice.” “And it’s like that because these parts of the country are in the hands of drug traffickers, gangs and imams,” he continued. http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives/2011/02/europes_multicu.php
