Meanwhile, across the pond…
…they’re having a lot of trouble with so-called “migrants” from Africa trying to get into Britain.
A lot of trouble:
David Cameron has said Britain is threatened by a “swarm” of foreigners and the migrant crisis in Calais was likened to a “warzone.”
Migrants were pictured clinging to a lorry as they left the port of Dover, while others in Calais were seen clambering over fences with children in tow.
More than 4,000 increasingly aggressive and desperate migrants largely from war-torn failed African states have stormed through fences in a bid to clamber aboard trains to ”˜El Dorado’ UK.
An estimated 150 have made it to Britain’s shores, with some claiming an increased feeling nationwide that the country is under siege…
Natalie Chapman, of the Freight Transport Association, likened the scenes of chaos in Calais to a “warzone” and fears it is only a matter of time till a British driiver gets killed in the French port.
She said: “The situation in Calais has been escalating over the last few months and you think it can’t get any worse – and then it does.
“For lorry drivers trying to get to the UK it’s like a warzone. You’ve got people who have made in many cases very long and dangerous journeys to try to get to the UK who will stop at nothing to try to get on board.
“We recognise it’s a humanitarian crisis and a complex global situation and that these are human beings, but drivers’ lives are being put at risk by people who are so desperate they have no concern with their own safety and welfare and probably even less for the safety and welfare of the drivers…
Mr Cameron claimed moves would be made to deport more people who arrive in the UK illegally and added: “We will remove more illegal migrants from our country so people know it’s not a safe haven once you’re there.”
There you have a graphic example (follow the link and see the photos) of the deep conflict between a nation’s desire to help bona fide refugees fleeing a very bad situation (a definition that probably fits the majority—although not all—of these “migrants”) and to protect itself, its people, and its borders from an invasion of arrivals who do not share the values of its traditional society and culture. Much of Europe, as well as the US and many other western nations, face that crisis.
A country must protect itself, and has a right to do so. The first responsibility of a government is to protect its people. But most Western nations today feel a responsibility to become a refuge for the beleaguered and unfortunate of the world (“Give me your tired, you poor…the wretched refuse of your teeming shore…). Balancing those two needs was never an easy task, but it has become extremely difficult lately due to (a) liberal guilt and condemnation of the desire to protect oneself and one’s culture as “nativism” (b) the welfare state, drawing more people than before who are coming for the benefits rather than the work (c) modern transportation and communication making it easier to travel (d) the lack of assimilation of arrivals resulting from the teaching of multi-culturalism; and (e) the threat of terrorists crossing the borders as well.
Did I leave anything out?
(f) destroying the Rule of Law culture which was pretty much invented in England.
We are finding out why people in the past seemed so mean… after all the young in this country (usa) inherited a system based on what was known about life and living in the past, and they forgot all that was and what was left was warped by socialisms do goodery…
so they are like penguins when visitors come
or more so, like the Dodo, who basically didnt have enough common sense to run away or avoid the things (people) that would kill it.
well, modern western society has been declawed under the idea that the reason we didnt want such things to happen was that we were white male racists, and that women will fix that, with all the other racialist groups, and that international communism will erase borders and so on and so on.
but a lot of the seeming meaness of the past was not the people focused on being mean, but how they seemed to be mean because what was left out of the lefist dialogue and story was the actual actions and reasons they made their choices.
the easiest example i can give is how the american indian and early settlers up to the birth of the USA as a separate nation. people forget that at first the US was settled by the spaniards, not the british… columbus was paid by isabella… it was the spaniards that brought horses and often were brutal with natives…
ask kids or people on the street today and they have no idea of that, despite knowing that it was the nina the pinta and the santa maria…
then you have the idea that scalping was a white man thing, when actually it started from the indians under the same idea africans wear lion heads, mountain men wear bear claws, and aztecs eat hearts of their enemies. the idea was that with the special part that was identifiable, you also brought with you the special power of that worthy adversary.
what has been scrubed from things was the horrors the indians visited on people, and later on did so under the payment of the british, or french, and so on. that the white man wanted the american indian out of the way came way after the whole thing was made a complete mess by spanish, british, dutch, german, and french settlers and warmakers
so you can go out and talk to the socialist righteous and ask about Napituca Massacre, and hear nothing. Hernando de Soto putting 200 natives to death after events, is completey out of the historical knowlege… heck, most cant tell you who de soto is let alone what he did way before the people they bitch about came (the year was 1539)
it wasnt until the jamestown massacre with the brits that the spanish were mostly out of the mix.
in 1622
go to this link and notice and then think of how much of all that is there is not at all in the consideration of the modern man
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_massacre
but wait, thats not all, if you order now, we will include other events that make sense of it.
how many in modern era learn about the Vandals, the goths (not girls dressed in black that thing death is cool), and on and on during the “Migration Period”? do they even know that there was such a migration period, and that whats going on now is mich akin to that and much for similar reasons of either runnign from war, despotism, and starvation? and what happened to the nice groups that let them in?
a period of intensified human migration in Europe, often defined from the period when it seriously impacted the Roman world, as running from about 376 to 800 AD
The migrants who came first were Germanic tribes such as the Goths, Vandals, Angles, Saxons, Lombards, Suebi, Frisii, Jutes and Franks; they were later pushed westwards by the Huns, Avars, Slavs, Bulgars and Alans
and after that period
Later migrations (such as the Viking, Norman, Hungarian, Moorish, Turkic, and Mongol invasions) also had significant effects (especially in North Africa, the Iberian peninsula, Anatolia and Central and Eastern Europe); however, they are outside the scope of the Migration Period.
so again, history repeats…
on to my next post
Artfldgr:
See this.
To read daily the stories of flotillas across the Mediterranean, Lampedusa, and immigrants storming the nations as once the Bastille had been stormed, is like reading Raspail’s ‘Camp of the Saints’ real, real, real, real slow.
however you could not orchestrate similar if you did not wash the history from the minds of the people who are in power and have to give permission on some level for it to happen. you had to not teach them the history, or leave out key things, you had to make the victims of those things into evil people for self defense… in fact it helped if you made self defense bad…
in fact many of the loved in movies happen to be the evil invadors of history in which the movies turn it all around and make it that the victims should be contrite as the usurpers win and it was the other way around.
so we think the celts were great.. if you ask about the origin of the celts almost everyone you may ask would say IRELAND… but would they believe that the celts were middle europeans and that what we know as far as media and such, was about the last of them, not the first of them. what was left over after they got pushed out!!!
they came from the Hallstatt culture which is actually more austrian…
and we forget that in shakespears time, before progressives ruled america and warped things racially… whites and blacks married as often as any other group that was available, or how else could shakespeare write othello?
The Moors were Muslim inhabitants of the Maghreb, the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, and Malta during the Middle Ages. The Moors were initially of Arab and Berber descent, though the term later covered people of mixed ancestry and Iberian Christian converts to Islam
the foolish leaders following the ideas of outsiders who manipulate them into accepting an openness that the world is not ready for yet, in an effort to make tomorrow happen early today (and in the process wreck what is there so tht those that did the convincing can seize it).
the ideas here are pretty simple. you cut diamonds with diamonds, you break societies by using other societies. the whole issue of ruination is a negative, for once the actual thing gets to the point of such, extermination leaves the lands cleaned
its funny.. you ask them what are the ceylons, and they say, robots who helped start the human robot fears fo todays movies… they wont say sri lanka anything
you ask them about the crusades, and the proper answer should be a question – “which crusade”, and you cant get a straight historically correct answer!
so they dont react as they should to the policies… they make the people who do know, and do study history out to be evil racists, and white male racists (cause the women just love immigrants), and they make it as greed and anything BUT the truth and the actual well known outcome from 10,000 years of history.
and of course sociopathic socialists think that if you let them dupe you and all that they you DESERVE to lose it all.
so, now the UK which joined the EU and has the Chunnel and open border and all that, has to suffer… they may not have guns buyt that doesnt stop the illegals from doing things like hacking apart soldiers in broad day light.
but what you gonna do?
at some point they might even make genocide reasonable through this process. eh?
Years ago when the tunnel was being proposed, many conservatives opposed it saying the Channel was of great value for defense. Ferries could handle commerce and could easily be shut down instantly. They were correct.
If America is Rome, then the Senate is the Senate, and the barbarians are the Islamic Jihad migrants.
Who then, is Julius Caesar, Marius, or various others in the timeline?
Germany also:

And the problem is made worse when the powers that be see the new migrants as voters.
The welfare state is a ponzi scheme that requires more people to come into the system.
It seems rejecting colonialism was premature for a lot of places. The local aristocrats (mostly self-appointed and/or supported by the KGB back in the day) were only too happy to take the reins of power into their own hands. The natives’ self esteem was raised, if not their material well-being.
Those who would benefit the less fortunate would do better to offer a neocolonialism than to invite the destitute into developed countries. Better to develop the poor countries. That would require proselytizing capitalism and the rule of law.
The Left is colonizing the West, again.
It’s the old story of the life boat. Too many allowed in the boat, and it sinks.
I find it interesting that these people are trying so hard to get to Britain when they have already reached France and/or Italy. Perhaps it is the English language which is a second language for many. Perhaps France is not very welcoming.
Pardon me for being rather harsh; but I favor a wall on our southern border and orders to shoot to kill any who try to scale the wall. After the first dozen or so, no one will attempt to cross over. Europe needs to patrol the Mediterranean and sink any ship, boat, piece of plywood coming from Africa. A stern, lethal message must be sent: enter legally or die.
We often think of Emma Lazarus’s poem as almost a part of the Constitution. What she extolled in “The New Colossus” was the importation of unskilled foreign labor, to vote Socialist and to work in the factories of capitalists, rather like the situation we have right now, but she somehow made it sound so much nobler.
It is not only the KGB and its heirs and assigns, but also our Marxist-leaning diplomatic corps, who have favored governments in African countries that were top-down advocates of socialism, industrialization without an infrastructure to support it, hare brained schemes regarding the otherwise productive agricultural sectors of the economy, and so, inevitably, the only functioning free market was the black market, contributing to corrupt governments, constantly at war among the ruling classes, and, although that was a sufficient recipe for disaster, the colonial powers divided up the countries of Africa along their colonial boundaries rather than tribal and ethnic ones. So, now, we have constantly simmering war in much of that continent, boiling over, from time to time, and we refuse to come to the aid of any nation that resists the often violent encroachments of Islam, in Nigeria and Kenya, AFAIK, and, doubtless other nations, from whom I have no friends and colleagues. Of course, the communist/Marxist axis likes this situation, for a number of well-known reasons, and would denounce any efforts at real assistance as some neo-colonialist plot, so now we have starving multitudes in the Camp Ground of the Saints. Ironically, many of the people I have known who made it through this gauntlet actually are saints, lovely people, who’ll make good citizens, mingled with a lot of folks who were catechized by their Marxist teachers.
It’s a mess, and people on our payroll helped to make it. The solutions require real Republican leadership, who can articulate what we are doing and why. Sigh, I see little likelihood of our getting that.
