The Flood of Refugees into Europe: “The New Slave
Trade”By Peter Koenig
November 13, 2015 "Information
Clearing House" -
The flood of refugees
entering Europe is endless. Nobody knows exactly how many there are
and where they go and went. This year, 2015, up to November,
estimates vary from the low of 750,000 to a high of 2 million. Most
of them went to Germany, or want to go to Germany. Up to a million,
perhaps more may end up in Germany by the end of this year. For 2016
predictions are for up to 2 million. They are the direct results of
the Washington-NATO driven wars and conflicts in the Middle East
which keep raging on; creating chaos. Complete deliberate and
manmade chaos.
The German Government has made a commitment to
accept a comparatively extra-large contingent of refugees, to give
them shelter, to feed them. But where and with what? – Is it guilt
that strikes Madame Merkel and Co. for being complicit in the
destruction of their lands, their homes, their families, their
economies – in one short word, their lives?
This flood of refugees, ordered by the Washington
Dictator to be retained by Turkey at the tune of 2.5 million – or
more – in camps with full infrastructure that have cost some 6
billion dollars to build – not counting their maintenance – and then
let lose in huge hordes at the appropriate times, like now, in
stormy fall weather, followed by harsh European winters, also by
orders of the Dictator. He, in turn, is comfortably protected
between two oceans, oblivious to the pain of far-away others –
creating purposely more confusion, destabilization and havoc within
the EU – which has never really been a union, with or without
refugees. The refugees are used as a weapon of destabilization
(http://www.globalresearch.ca/refugees-as-weapon-and-germany-shifting-alliances/5476544
).
And yes, he the Washington strongman can, because
the Europeans are his trusted vassals.
One by one of these un-solidary union members are
pushing and shoving the stream of forced migrants, desperate hungry
and sick people – on to the next country. Some build walls, or lock
their borders with barbed wire fences, patrolled by armed police,
military and vicious dogs. Sea-water or rain-soaked refugees are
beaten, families pulled and pushed apart, dragged in the dirt.
Police and military hatred and brutality in Serbia, Hungary the
Czech Republic and others know no limits. Blood is flowing, small
children in the arms of their hopeless and hapless parents – crying,
not understanding the cruel world they have been born into – and
will have to endure. Misery for millions in a world where injustice
is ever more becoming the order of the day. – And we are blinded to
it. Cohabitation with misery and injustice by millions has become
the new normal.
Misery, hardship and submission are part of the
dogma of the neoliberal masters we have allowed to take over our
western world in the last 30 years. Our comfort and obscene
consumerism has blinded us – and is still blinding us – to the
drip-by-drip brainwashing MSM propaganda. The neocons are in the
driver’s seat and will remain there until We, The People –
the vast majority of the planet – 99.99% – show them the way to get
lost – lost for good. Yes we can. We really can. But we have to
become conscious of what’s going on and transpose our conscience to
a level of non-acceptance.
Individual faces of those poor souls on the run
don’t count. Small children, women, old men – thousands and
thousands die en route to a ‘more decent life’; they are
mere statistics, faceless numbers. They are used as weapons to
destabilize, to weaken other nations, to soften them, so to speak,
for easier dominance and digestion of the hungry arrogant, outsized
beast, appearing in the form of the United States of America, but
representing a global, Zionist-led elite, with an intimidating,
scary killer army that absorbs more than half of the world’s
military budget.
Obey or you will be sanctioned. Economically or by
forced regime change. Either you follow the dictate, or a
false flag will make you guilty deserving of punishment and
annihilation. Europe has been ‘bought’, coerced and manipulated into
this humiliation. The European Union is a sham. The European
Commission is a deceit. There is not one non-neoliberal country in
the entire 28 member European non-union. How is this possible? – A
uniform world view whether your label is ‘right’ or ‘left’ – all
meaningless.
Universal election fraud is presented on a silver
platter like the severed head of democracy, but nobody wants to see
it. It’s like admiring the emperor’s wonderful clothes, not wanting
to admit that he is stark naked. We keep talking about democratic
elections. Nonsense. There is no democracy anymore as it was crafted
2500 years ago by the minds of the philosophers of Delphi in ancient
Greece. Most all and everybody in our western world is buyable. Rare
is the politician who isn’t. He won’t last. Money reigns.
Why can’t we admit to the falsehood of things? –
In our deep conscience we all know that ‘something is wrong’.
Millions of refugees suddenly flooding the European Continent –
something must be wrong. Does anybody see the systematic destruction
of the entire Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region – and make
the connection to the refugees?
The propaganda lies of the media are ever bolder,
more flagrant. We sense it. But we don’t do anything about it. If we
were, we would not live in a world of permanent war, conflicts,
killing for power, dominance and greed, exploitation – endless
egocentricity. We would not believe the barrage of lies we are
showered with day-by-day by the corrupt mainstream media. We would
not be forced to run from one fire to the next. There would be no
refugees, but, instead, these proud and honest people would be
building their countries there cultures and strive for living well –
which is the right of every human being.
Back to reality.
In some small German villages the number of refugees is larger than
the local population. With all good will, shelters cannot be created
fast enough and warm enough (winter is approaching) – and the food
supply. Who pays? – The nationals feel overwhelmed. A few weeks ago,
the mood among Germans was cheery. Welcome signs everywhere – yes,
welcoming the refugees, with smiles, with hugs, with food and gifts.
The warmness of the German people was stunning.
That’s gone now.
We Europeans and Germans in particular, are beset
by confusion. The EU leaders (sic) are saying one thing but doing
another. They are confused at best and lying at worst. Trust has
been corrupted by lies after lies after lies.
We do not seem to see through the scheme, a
multi-faceted Machiavellian plan:
Refugees are becoming the new slaves. Many are
highly educated, but poor, hungry and without shelter. They will
work for peanuts just to feed their families, pressing on local
wages, increasing unemployment – destroying local economies,
creating fear, anxieties among locals – anxious people have no
energy to stand up for their rights – defend themselves their
sovereignty. They are easy prey. That’s what Washington and its
associated vassal dictators want.
The exit of millions from Syria, Iraq, Libya – the
MENA Region as a whole, is a brain drain for the refugees’ home
countries, creating a ’brain-overflow’ in Europe, in Germany in
particular – competing with locals, demoralizing, fomenting
jealousy, dividing communities and entire societies – breaking down
livelihoods.
These educated refugees are fleeing north, a few
to Sweden Denmark, Norway, but the vast majority to the assumed
heaven of well-being – Germany, where cheap labor and low-wage
academics may eventually replace locals, increasing unemployment,
lowering production costs, boosting profits and widening the gap
between rich and poor, rapidly increasing social inequity.
Why is Germany singled out by the overseas
masters? Is it still the old Churchill saying, “keep Americans
in, Germans down and Russians out (of Europe)?”- Does Madame
Merkel not understand this – the strongest link in Europe has to be
weakened on as many fronts as possible, to make it vulnerable for
easy takeover by the Washington masters. If you control Germany, you
control Europe. That dogma appears not having changed since
Churchill.
The flood of refugees may also contain large
numbers of disguised jihadists, Islamists (some estimates say at
least 10%, but there is no proof, of course), with the intent of
establishing cells in Europe – explosive cells to create unrest when
needed by the Big Dictator, à la failed Arab Spring
and the infamous so-called ‘Colour Revolutions’ – remember?
– For which we know by now infiltrated ‘sleeper’ cells were
responsible.
These are Zionist-Washington’s well-targeted
challenges for Europe. Challenges Europe is unable to cope with. One
wonders what these lackeys in Brussels and the newly ‘elected’
neolibs in the so-called EU member-countries were told, when they
were given the marching orders – or else. They must have been given
some incentives, because any halfwit would understand that this –
plus the TTIP – ah yes, the TTIP – will have Europe crumble
economically, if not by WWIII, and also crumble would their careers
and livelihoods. Perhaps they were given the promise of a free
ticket to Florida – “The Sunshine State” – or the Bahamas, when the
moment comes.
—
UNHCR carries in its worldwide statistics about 50
million refugees (people at risk) – but in reality by now they are
more like 60-70 million. Imagine these refugees as hordes of poor
homeless, roofless, hapless, hungry and often sick and desperate
people – a pool of cheap labor – called otherwise SLAVES.
All the system needs to do is direct them to the ‘right’ countries,
those on the list of having to be subdued. Germany has Europe’s
lowest unemployment rate of 4.5%. If Germany ‘falls’, Russia becomes
considerably more vulnerable. Russia will have to fight for Germany,
for Europe’s survival, and Vladimir Putin knows it and is already
doing it.
There are also the artificial ‘economic crises’
all instigated by the Washington Consensus, the western fraudulent
fiat monetary system, managed and directed by the FED, Wall Street,
BIS (Bank for International Settlement) and IMF. These crises
maintain and accelerate the rate of unemployment in Europe which,
according to Eurostat has been hovering on average between 9% and
11% over the last 20 years.
New work forces, like the slaves made from
refugees will increase unemployment, lower production costs,
increase corporate profits – create human misery on the one end of
the spectrum and capital gains for the elite.
Marx in his Das Kapital called
unemployment the ‘cushion’ for capital that presses wages down. The
cushion needs to become greater in as much as capital grows. –
Unemployment and underemployment embody the concept of the “industrial
reserve army”. The larger the cushion, the better for the
capitalists, for the investors. Others, like Keynes, have countered
that capitalism could survive practically with full employment.
That’s a nice thought, but unsuitable for today’s no holds-barred
capitalism – called neoliberalism.
The higher the pressure on the labor force, the
more instant profit accrues. No consideration for tomorrow. No
respect for the worker, or the environment. Endless exploitation is
required by constant growth, needed for capitalism to survive.
Growth and GDP are our western economic fetishes. They are the gods
of our predatory economic system which is not sustainable. In fact
it is suicidal as any logic shows. The western world today uses
natural resources at the rate of about 4 times what Mother Earth has
to offer. And she is very generous.
Please do understand – this has been said and
repeated many times – as long as we are hooked to the western
monetary and linear, growth-bound economic system we are cooked. We
are economically powerless and in the hands of the globalized
Washington directed ZAS elite which are marching rapidly towards
Full Spectrum Dominance.
No – this is not conspiracy
– read up on it. There are many internet sites that give you plenty
of background information on this and other burning subjects –
Global Research, Information Clearing House, CounterPunch, VNN, New
Eastern Outlook-NEO, to name just a few – for you to form your own
ideas and opinion.
For example, the FED has just sanctioned Deutsche
Bank with 250 million dollars for violating the US-imposed sanction
regime, i.e. for dealing with such sanctioned countries as Iran,
Syria and Libya. DB is also being probed for ‘illegal’ business with
Russia. Earlier, BNP Paribas, France, was fined US$ 8.9 billion and
Crédit Agricole US$ 800 million for dealing with ‘sanctioned’
countries. You may say that’s peanuts for such banks. That’s not the
point. The point is: Is it right that they have to follow
Washington’s dictate?
Why do they not just ignore the fines? – Simply
because if they don’t pay, they would be barred from using the
privately owned international transaction clearing system, SWIFT /
BIS which is so far the only system for western monetary transfers.
Not paying the fines would put them out of business in the western
world. So – the banks almost immediately acquiesce and pay. That’s
the extent to which Washington-FED is coercing its fraudulent
corrupt system upon the world.
Fortunately, the system is crumbling, as there are
alternatives emerging: The Russia-China monetary exchange system –
CIPS (Chinese International Payment System) which is already in use
for transactions between Russia and China and among most BRICS and
SCO countries. Hence, it is already accessible for about half the
world population, representing about one third of the globes
economic output. This system is not forced upon any country.
Sovereign nations are free to join if and when it suits them.
Remember, the economies of many countries for no
fault of theirs still heavily depend on the fraudulent US dollar
system. Switching quickly may have damaging consequences, like
sanctions, embargos of a country’s assets abroad. A slow and gradual
transition may be of the order.
Nevertheless, it is worth noting that according to
the western international transaction system, SWIFT, the
Chinese Yuan has become the second largest international trading
currency after the US dollar. ‘Things’ are on the move. The
prospects for a new and more democratic monetary system are on the
horizon.
Back to the refugees cum new
slaves. President Hollande has just
announced that French labor laws are to be revised. The sacrosanct
35 h week is being questioned, among other hard-fought for union
gains over the last half a century. This means, future labor
contracts may be negotiated directly between workers unions and
corporations, without the backing of the government as a regulatory
body behind the workers. Hence, deregulating labor laws will be
playing directly into the hands of the new arriving labor force in
the form of refugees – and into the possible future playing field of
the TTIP.
Now you compound all these tentacles of
destabilization with the nefarious and secretly negotiated TTIP
(Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) – which we all hope
will not pass despite of Brussels and thanks to the German public
which demonstrates ferociously against it. But if it does pass, with
corporations dictating labor laws, unemployment in Europe may
increase exponentially with good jobs switching to the US as labor
standards are lower there than they are in Europe; and with the TTIP
imposed private corporate courts that would have supremacy over
national legislation — if that happens, the continent will be
further destabilized. Europe ceases to be the way we know it. It may
be reduced to just a geographic land mass. Future generations may be
enslaved by globalized corporate power not much different from what
the wave of refugees will be – if they, the refugees, stay in
Europe.
Apropos staying in Europe
– Madame Merkel recently negotiated a deal with Turkish President
Erdogan, basically telling him, you keep the refugees locked
away in your refugee camps, we will give you 3 billion euros and may
reconsider Turkey’s membership in the EU. That, in itself
sounds like a deal made by mafia. Instead of seeking a treaty with
untrustworthy terrorist supporting Turkey, Madame Merkel may
contemplate talking to Justin Trudeau, Canada’s new Prime Minister.
He may want to consider settling the vast, fertile and unpopulated
western Canada with refugees from the Middle East. The 3 billion
euros Merkel promised Erdogan could become a joint German-Canada
cooperation project to help develop the basic infrastructure to
accommodate the new settlers. This could become a huge ‘win-win’
situation: economic development for Canada and well-being for
Middle-Eastern migrants chased from their lands by empirical wars.
There may be, after all, a light at the end of the
tunnel for Germany and even Europe, for those willing to abandon
Washington vassal-hood. And this with regard to the new wave of
migration and all its implications, as well as a new approach to
national economies, for which the East may offer an alternative.
