Politic?

This is a blog dedicated to a personal interpretation of political news of the day. I attempt to be as knowledgeable as possible before commenting and committing my thoughts to a day's communication.

Infiltration Through Stealth of Numbers

"According to a Harvard University study, the Islamisation of a country cannot be stopped once the Muslim population reaches 16 percent of the total population. This is what Islam expert, Nikoletta Incze, said on 22 June, on Hungarian public television".
"Incze is a researcher at the Centre for the Study of Political Islam, a foundation of American Islam critic Bill Warner, which is active in several countries."
"The interview with the Islam expert was broadcasted as part of a morning magazine report that focuses on the spread of Islam in Europe and bears the title “Islamic Advance – Already 44 Million Believers in Europe."

"The main issue is ... about what the people believe what should be done."
"[The move to return migrants to where they came from represents the beginning of a] new period when we try to reconstruct the European democracy."
"[No more migrants should be admitted, those that entered Europe and remain there] should be sent back."
"The invasion should be stopped, and to stop the invasion means to have a strong border."
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban

"It seems as if today [at the European Council Brussels summit to place deterrence and EU border protection at the forefront of EU migration policy] we will manage a shift in migration policy."
"[No longer should being rescued in the Mediterranean] automatically become a ticket [into central Europe]."
Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz

"Some may think I am too tough in my proposals on migration."
"But trust me, if we don't agree on them, then you will see some really tough proposals from some really tough guys."
European Council President Donald Tusk

"We all face a simple choice: do we want national solutions or do we believe in European solutions and co-operation?"
"For my part, I will defend European solutions."
French President Emmanuel Macron
The "European solutions" that Emmanuel Macron speaks of so fondly, in support of central decision making that all EU members must adhere to for conformity of purpose and design and strengthening of the union which has been noticeably fraying at the edges when Eastern European nations began their dissent over accepting the tens of thousands of mostly North African but also Middle East refugees comprised mostly of single, young men has come at a time when some member-nations have absorbed a presence of Muslim immigrants who have failed to integrate into the prevailing values, customs and laws of the nations they burden with their presence.

This was a choice that France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden and Norway made, generously opening their doors to Muslims harbouring a wish to live elsewhere than in their countries of birth. Ostensibly to find greater freedoms elsewhere, along with opportunities to advance their interests, which includes taking advantage of generous social assistance programs in 'progressive', democratic nations. Despite which, these are populations which have often held themselves apart from the general population, failed to respect national laws and impose their religious-cultural practices on others.

Poland and Hungary among other countries have refused to dilute their heritage and values in this same way and they have been joined by the Netherlands and Austria, Italy, Greece and Spain, however tardy that has been with their populations already swelling with the presence of strangers at their gates, entitled, resentful, regarding themselves as victims and imposing their cultural values and demands on the indigenous populations, dismayed at the fraying of their nations' valued culture. Europe has been swamped.

And it is slowly, but inadequately realizing that it is imperilled, turning toward the potential of transforming itself to "Fortress Europe", a situation imposed upon it through the unending tide of hopeful economic migrants under the guise of refugees from oppressive and dysfunctional governments, sectarian and tribal conflict, resulting in mass unemployment and corruption. Leading tens of thousands of young men to abandon their countries rather than embrace the more difficult route of political activism demanding change.

Now, with the EU forced into action to protect its borders from continued incursions of the magnitude seen in the past several years which saw invasions of millions, Italy finally sees some relief on the horizon: "We hope these words will be translated into action. Italy no longer has a need for words and statements, we need concrete acts", emphasized Italian Prime Minister Guiseppe Conte in the wake of the country's spat with France and Spain over its refusal to absorb migrant rescue ships' cargo of human traffic.

"Europe has many challenges but migration could end up determining Europe's destiny", remarked German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose own decision to open wide Germany's frontier to a million migrants in a gesture of virtuous generosity, ended up with her countrymen and women expressing frustration and rejection at the unwelcome flood of mostly young men for whom social welfare was extended and toward whom civil respect for women had to be emphasized in the wake of mass sex assaults. Another cultural importation.

Europe now imagines it can have a partnership with the very African nations from which migrants are endlessly streaming, by convincing them to agree to accept those migrants back into the African fold. And what's more to agree to hosting EU immigration stations to legalize entry through normal, civilized means of making application to emigrate in circumstances where the EU will be enabled to evaluate suitability for immigration and make those determinations either denying or accepting applications at their source.

Donald Tusk visualizes increasing border forces in Europe to maintain order and control of borders to ten thousand personnel, in tandem with forging return agreements with the migrant-source African states. As well, "hot-spot camps" to be set up in North Africa to be established to ensure that the ongoing floods of human beings entitling themselves to haven, could be controlled outside Europe. The African reception of these novel, civil and normalized solutions has not, however, been very welcoming.

"That's not a solution", Morocco's migration and border surveillance director Khalid Zerouali, scoffed, referring to the "regional disembarkation platforms". Morocco has been increasingly in use as a jumping-off point to access Spain, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar from Tangiers on unseaworthy boats or clambering over high fences to reach enclaves in Morocco: Melilla and Ceuta, Spanish enclaves.

Europe has struggled to react to, absorb and attempt to control approximately 1.8 million sea arrivals of migrants since 2014, with thousands of migrants losing the battle for safe arrival, to a watery grave. Morocco, it seems, has not come up with a workable solution of its own, since its country serves as a major transit point. Africa seems not to mind its citizens searching elsewhere for personal fulfillment thanks to its own mismanagement of its human resources.
