Coercive Engineered Migration: Zionism’s War on Europe

[FourthBase]

FourthBase an idea I'm getting from what you're saying that I have to agree with is this: people who argue what the state does is irrelevant, because anarchy, or for other reasons, come across as deeply disingenuous when they are themselves deeply embedded in its programs and practices. We can talk about what different governments are doing as they clearly aren't all doing the same things. Who is really putting forwards false equivalencies in these situations?

Forgive me if a lot of the noise around the issues sounds like it comes down to an esoteric message of "never talk about or question what the government/institutions/establishment is doing"

Not just disingenuous. It's not about you rebels being hypocrites by living aligned with systems you only intellectually or theatrically reject. It's you rebels getting pretty much exactly what you actually wish for in the way of undoing the system but then reflexively still interpreting it as a sinister plan of the system by the system to advance the system. Coercive Engineered Migration: The Left's War on Europe. How does the crisis not also suit that title? What more could a Marxist want, really? How much better could the crisis have been set up to destabilize the West? Serious non-rhetorical questions. My point: There's more than one thing happening at once in the same crisis, there are opposite agendas creating and benefitting from the same thing, your side's agenda included and no less potent, and the left is getting its way just as much as all the usual anti-left villains. And not just in an idealistic counter-productive naive idiot way, the left's version of coincidence theorizing, where well-meaning leaders and orgs try to help but make shit worse or get tripped up by cunning bullies. No. I mean in a collusive, coercive, devious, manipulative, dishonest, even darkhearted way...just like the bad guys' way.

Radical islam may be co opted but that doesn't mean the motivations of young people who are angry at injustice are wrong.

And if it weren't coopted, what do you imagine those young people would be doing instead? Not warring with the West? Warring with the West but more gently? If 9/11 had been, improbable shock of all shocks, 100% an uncoopted grassroots operation of young people angry at injustice, would you have criticized their motivations?

The CIA and Mossad didn't write the Quran or ahadith. Neoliberals don't have jurisdiction over the world's uniformly-barbaric Islamic religious authorities. The left, though, is quite understanding of and accommodating to radical Islam's critiques of and fury at the West. "These poor oppressed souls are being framed for this evil...but if they did do it, they were justified." Right?

[tapitsbo]

Well, I'm not a Marxist, but I'm not going to write off or disown all of the ideas or historical influence of Marxism either.

Many folks are way to the left of Joe Hillshoist, for example, and openly celebrate the destruction of both the West even if it will destroy their own lives, and, even less charmingly, the trampling of the already troubled/devastated MENA region... all under the banner of "destroying hierarchy" which may be happening in some ways but, well, the reverse is happening in an extremely ugly way too... the whole passive aggressive schtick of "why do you feel threatened?" reeks of the the post-9/11 "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." Then again, these people will sometimes tell you with a straight face that using the term "passive aggressive" is a form of "rape" and other completely offensive nonsense like that.

Talk of "evil' in these situations often veers into Darth Vader silliness and derails attempts to understand what's going on

[Luther Blissett]

But I think I understand what Fourth Base means about leftism and progressive agendas and how those can be used for evil (especially powermad or capitalistic) purposes - of course. But at the same time I (and I imagine many others) drop them as soon as they're uncovered.

Not used for ill purposes by appropriators, but used in precisely the way they're supposed to be used to advance The Cause by true believers, people more or less just like you, but with earth-changing power. Those people exist. If said not to exist, if said that the world's most powerful leftists are toothless or kayfabe catharsis-simulators or whatever the excuse is that they somehow don't really count as authentic leftists...then that's just self-serving paradigm-protecting bullshit. Leftists are not just plucky local activists on a mission to repair the world. Like in a previous thread, I will ask: Were the KGB leftists? Do they count? Does the French Revolution count as genocidal lunacy, until it's -- right -- dropped, dropped from the scope of what counts for identifying the left because, of course, they weren't really this or that signature thing, or they tellingly betrayed this or that value or ally, so you get to give yourselves punch-buggy shots of ideological immunity when the evil vehicles of leftism occasionally grace your moral radar. Thank god for purity gamesmanship, or you guys might also find yourselves implicated in some deep, deep immoral shit, in the form of precisely the ideological trappings you mistake for The Alibi, The Antidote, The Way, or The Bridge to True Freedom, or the Great Leap Forward, or whatever constitutes pie-in-the-sky leftist optimism here, like The All-Merciful Post-Apocalyptic Reset. Is class struggle real for you, or not? Down with The Man, or not? Because you should recognize swarms of the brown-and-displaced disrupting Western Europe as the same prodigal chickens of your own wishful imagination that you'd always hoped would come home to roost on The Enemy's front lawns? Are you guys really dismayed, or are you suppressing the joy of seeing some of your scene's wishcasting being fulfilled? One day a scenario is seen as Too Good to Be True for pre-revolutionary shit-hitting-fan purposes, and then some years later probably the same people decrying it as a humanitarian disaster choreographed by The Enemy when it actually happens. Can't eat your cake and still not have it, too.

I'd like to think I'm much less unilateral than assumed…I mean, the oatmeal I had this morning isn't leftist, my smart phone sure as hell ain't leftist. I even hold plenty of libertarian or what might typically be thought of as right-wing, like a less-intrusive, less powerful government. But if I'm going to organize for peace, the environment, equality, or human rights, I think the places I go to do so are just going to unfortunately only carry one of the two labels if at all. I promise you though, all hyperbole aside, I'm open to any suggestions for groups through which one can "do good" of any ideological stripe. I'm as experienced as anyone else in having to sit through endless debates between disparate ideological identities like tankies and anarcho-primitivists.

I don't see what I have in common with the KGB. I don't identify with them at all (I thought I had answered that question before). It's an interesting one for sure. I really had never thought about it before the first time you asked, but I still don't think so. I mean I went so far as to naively go on the KGB wikipedia entry and command-F "left" (one result: "…which he left in 1975.") because I don't think of the KGB as an egalitarian, multicultural, peaceful, or ecologically-sound entity.

Yes, class struggle is real to me.

Nato chief: Vladimir Putin 'weaponising' refugee crisis to 'break' Europe

Vladimir Putin is purposefully creating a refugee crisis in order to “overwhelm” and “break” Europe, Nato’s military commander in Europe said today.
Gen Philip Breedlove, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe and the head of the US European Command, said that President Putin and Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad had “weaponised” migration through a campaign of bombardment against civilian centres.

"Together, Russia and the Assad regime are deliberately weaponising migration in an attempt to overwhelm European structures and break European resolve," Gen Breedlove told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

"These indiscriminate weapons used by both Bashar al-Assad, and the non-precision use of weapons by the Russian forces, I can't find any other reason for them other than to cause refugees to be on the move and make them someone else's problem," he said.

Alright well I mean about oatmeal - I think the rest of what you wrote is very inspiring. Maybe I've had my perspective warped by living in an area where, among most politically engaged people, there aren't typically discussions that people are sitting through, but rather a small clique of "co-ordinators" instructing larger groups in dogma that isn't as carefully, meaningful, or well-intentioned as what you laid out just now. Most of the time there is no discussion, except in tiny one-on-one groups. I remember during the time of Occupy, for instance, yes, discussions happening.

Last year in particular there was a wave of strident political actors where discussion was not a thing, in their presence - I got the impression they came from well-connected backgrounds, too, but they seemed to have a rather firm grip on the "left". I certainly am very cautious and modest with how I express myself in real life than on this board, where over time I'm sure I've been influenced by the provocative, confrontational style of discussions on this board.

I have never met tankies or anarcho-primitivists in real life, if I understand right what those terms mean. What I have met is a lot of self-id'ed anarchists who seemed very much in harmony with the dominant discourse of academia, NGO's, and certain aspects of government or even corporate culture.

To go back to the thread topic, I think we need to unpack this claim that the Russian and Syrian government are responsible for a "refugee crisis' in a larger context. The cognitive dissonance is obvious - but I am interested in what everyone here feels counter-narratives to this war-mongering might be (besides messages like "let's make all governments collapse tomorrow", which are hard for me to relate to reality and more often than not seem an extension of a government or aggressively neoliberal capitalist agenda)

Jihadi groups may have been seen as "terrorists" for a long time but a lot of people also seem to have seen them as "patsies" to some extent. The fact that some people in the West - not necessarily anyone at RI - but the perspective definitely exists in places - see them as "social justice freedom fighters" bewilders me.

Chaos, riots as France dismantles Calais migrant camp called the 'Jungle'
Aida Alami, Special for USA TODAY 4:29 p.m. EST March 2, 2016

CALAIS, France — Rahmanjan Safy scrambled to salvage anything valuable from the demolished tents and makeshift shelters at this Calais migrant camp Wednesday, even as riot police and bulldozers destroyed the site.

Food, clothing, spoons — he picked up everything he could find.

Safy, 25, from Jalalabad, Afghanistan, has been in France since 2009. He once lived in this camp but now works with an organization that helps the migrants and refugees. Driving his big white truck, he moved these precious commodities to a section of the camp still intact, so people could still use them.

“I once was in the same situation as them,” he said. “I never forgot. I want to help them.”

A judge gave the green light last week for the French government to tear down part of the Calais “Jungle,” as the camp is commonly called, but riots broke out this week amid the resulting chaos.


Police and bulldozers began pushing migrants out of tents and temporary shelters Monday, tearing apart the ad hoc camp that houses an estimated 6,000 people.

Camp residents fought back, starting fires and attacking police with rocks. The situation Wednesday was calmer, if not less tense. Confusion, uncertainty and sorrow still hang over the camp and the people who have no place to go.

Ahmed Salah from Sudan stood amid trash and debris, mourning the loss of his home of seven months. He says he wants to leave but can't.

“I would go anywhere, not just to England," he said about wanting to cross the English Channel to the United Kingdom. "I don’t want to stay in France. They don’t respect their own laws.”

The French government initially announced its plan to dismantle the southern part of the camp — closer to the highway — in early February. Migrants in that section would attempt to jump on trucks crossing through the Chunnel, despite barbed wire set up to protect the road.

The rest of the camp is being left alone — for the moment.

French authorities defended their move to dismantle part of the Calais camp, while also saying France remains open to refugees.

“Our policy is to support those who are in vulnerable situations,” Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said before the dismantling operation began. “The state will continue its strategy of accompanying migrants toward a humanitarian solution that lives up to the values of our country and our tradition of welcoming those who seek asylum in France.”

But volunteers described how people rushed to collect their few belongings in a short amount of time and tried to salvage parts of their shelters for protection against the cold weather.

“They gave people one hour to assemble their belongings,” said Christian Salome, founder and head of L’Auberge Des Migrants, the main organization that distributes food and clothes at the Calais camp. "It is sad and inhumane to expel people from their homes in the winter and by destroying their shelters."

Other volunteers call the entire situation shameful.

“It is a political decision not to address this issue,” said Paul Bejannin, 30, a volunteer from Paris. “France has the means to accommodate everyone. And the only state presence we ever see here is the riot police.”

Many fear that with the conflicts intensifying in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, the wave of refugees will be even greater this year.

“The only way to solve this is to move the UK to another place that doesn’t face Calais,” said Christophe Ruggia, an award-winning French director who mobilized dozens of artists to protest the country’s resistance to welcoming war refugees. “They are constantly reacting without a long-term vision.”

In downtown Calais, just a few miles from the camp, outrage over the situation has been growing for more than a year. Business owners like Jean Claude Burei, who has a restaurant in town, want the government to find a long-term solution because the bad publicity over the camp keeps tourists away.

“The location of the camp has been a disaster for the city,” he said. “Some of these migrants are escaping war, but others have no reason to be here. ... We also need to expel those who create trouble, like smugglers who take advantage of people’s misery.”

French President François Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron will meet Thursday in Amiens, France, to discuss the ongoing migrant crisis ahead of next week's EU summit on the issue.

Hundreds of British volunteers at the Calais Jungle, like Malcom Mitchel, 69, do what they can.

“The 6,000 here is smaller than a crowd that goes to a (soccer) match,” he said. “There are a lot of people with potential here — doctors, engineers. We should open borders and let everybody in the United Kingdom.”

Amine Khan, 31, from northern Afghanistan, helplessly watched the bulldozers Wednesday and said his "home" will likely be next.

“I have no choice, I don’t know where I will go,” he said. "I will just keep trying to reach England.”

'Send them back to Turkey' EU kicks out illegal immigrants as huge deportation plan begins

HUNDREDS of illegal immigrants were booted out of Europe today as Brussels called on member states to deport any migrants who travel through safe countries without claiming asylum.

By NICK GUTTERIDGE
PUBLISHED: 18:51, Wed, Mar 2, 2016 | UPDATED: 21:41, Wed, Mar 2, 2016


Donald Tusk finally announced plans for the EU to get tough on migrants
The EU finally tried to wrestle back control of the spiralling migrant chaos today with the announcement that 308 illegals are being shipped back to Turkey as part of a landmark agreement.

Brussels also urged member states to automatically deport any migrants who deliberately pass up the opportunity to claim asylum in safe countries to travel to Britain, Germany and Scandinavia where benefits are more generous.

However, despite the rhetoric the EU still faces a gargantuan task to bring immigration under control with more than 20,000 migrants trapped in Greece alone.

Yesterday the boss of the EU's border agency Frontex revealed that immigration is running at an astonishing thirty times higher than during the same period last year, whilst Finland has said it is braced for a sixfold increase in asylum applications.


In response Brussels today struck a more determined note, vowing to boost its ailing deportation process with increasing numbers of the migrants arriving on Europe's shores coming from 'safe' countries in north Africa and Asia, not war-ravaged Syria.

European Council president Donald Tusk vowed to provide further help to member states to deport illegal immigrants and said reinstating the Dublin Agreement - by which all migrants have to claim asylum in the first EU country they reach - is the only way to save the Schengen zone.

During a visit to embattled Croatia, which is on the frontline of the migrant trail between Greece and Germany, he told the country's Prime Minister Tihomir Oreškovi? that the time has come for Europe to get tough on illegal immigrants.

He said: "The first priority is to rapidly stem the flows and reduce illegal migration while preserving the integrity of the Schengen area.

"Member States should refuse entry to third-country nationals who do not meet the necessary conditions or who, although they were able to do so earlier, did not apply for asylum."

Croatia is currently preparing to send its army to the border with Serbia in a desperate bid to halt the flow of migrants pouring through.

Mr Tusk's comments came after it emerged that the EU is deporting the first 308 immigrants back to Turkey under a landmark agreement with the country.

European leaders agreed to give Turkey around three billion euros and grants its citizens visa-free travel in return for bolstering efforts to stop the flow of migrants crossing the Mediterranean.


The EU said that the migrants were from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and were not eligible for asylum.

Recent figures have shown a sharp spike in the numbers of economic migrants arriving from north Africa and Pakistan, suggesting some people are trying to take advantage of the Syrian civil war to travel in the hope of establishing a new life in Europe.

The EU's Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship Dimitris Avramopoulos said: "The European Commission has reinforced its support for cooperation on return between EU Member States and Turkey and today's transfers of returnees from Greece to Turkey show that our efforts are starting to bear fruit.

"If we want to address the challenges of the refugee crisis successfully we need to get back to an orderly management of the migration flows.

"We have to make sure that those who are in need of protection will receive it, but it has to be clear as well that those who have no right to stay in the EU will be quickly and effectively returned."


Policing the migrants
Wed, March 2, 2016
As migrants clash with each other in over crowded camps across Europe, we take a look through the hard task of policing the migrant crisis in Europe.


The latest developments come amid unprecedented squabbling between member states over who should take the blame for the migrant chaos.

Many countries blame Germany and in particular Angela Merkel, who rashly promised all Syrians asylum, for exacerbating the situation and acting as the main driver of migration into the continent.

But Mrs Merkel has repeatedly defended her open door asylum policy despite fierce criticism of it within Germany in light of the Cologne sex attacks.

Europe’s Slow Motion Debacle
by PEPE ESCOBAR


From a failed attempt to clear the Calais jungle to the appalling situation at the Greek-Macedonian border, the EU crumbles under the strain of a massive refugee crisis. Even the Kafkaesque Brussels Eurocrat construct admits it – off the record, because official EU must always project a mythical image of unity: “We are on the edge of an abyss”.

Across the EU and amidst Russian intellectual elites, scenarios proliferate on the imminent collapse of Western civilization, as a huge number of refugees cannot be properly assimilated. In Russia, this process is examined with extreme concern because it happens not far from Russia’s western borderlands, and involves what the Kremlin traditionally defines as our partners.

But what if this European slow motion debacle was not enacted as a Mad Max dystopia, but rather brought about by a tsunami of Muslims ultimately displaced by Western-engineered wars?

Behold Fortress Europe

It was only six months ago that Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government took a huge gamble in adopting a so-called “humanitarian” refugee policy; call it the civilized face of the otherwise politically tainted R2P (responsibility to protect) concept, which was ruthlessly manipulated for the invasion and destruction of Libya.

Six months later, we have swarms of refugees stranded all along the Balkan Route – and progressively encircled/trapped by strict border controls, the disappearance of social benefits, creeping fences and walls, and the practical extermination of the Schengen accords. The Merkel gambit is over; Fortress Europe is back with a vengeance.

Can you hear the sound of a basket of myths crumbling? Here are a few. The notion of “European solidarity” – not to mention egality and fraternity. The notion that EU members would accept a sensible, harmonious, proportional distribution of refugees. The notion that Europe would not reject, deport and repatriate people fleeing from war zones. The notion that Turkey would protect the EU from the crisis.

The Balkan Route, for all practical purposes, is now sealed off to refugees while Ankara, for its part, is slowly building a wall along stretches of the Turkish-Syrian border – not as much to really contain them (after all Ankara must keep open the Jihadi highway), but as a propaganda coup.

Germany’s humanitarian refugee policy is in tatters and corroded by self-doubt; only two weeks ago Chancellor Merkel was wondering whether she should pursue «our European-Turkish approach» or whether the EU should order the absolute sealing off of the Greek-Macedonian border, pure and simple.

And that leads us close to the heart of the matter – which is of course Turkey.

The majority of German conservative politicos want Merkel to seal off German borders to refugees, while Merkel still believes in the Hand of Providence; help from «European partners» – which won’t come – and most of all from Ankara.

And that’s exactly where Turkey’s Sultan Erdogan wants her to be; as a supplicant, not as the leader of the number one European economic power.

Ankara’s power play

One of the key myths of the whole refugee crisis is that Erdogan’s AKP government is doing all it can to contain it.

Nonsense. The crisis itself was engineered by Ankara in 2015 – when refugees were released from their holding camps in Turkey under threat that they would not be cared for anymore. The refugee flood was not a «spontaneous» creation, as Syrians, Iraqis and/or Afghans suddenly decided to flee to the EU; it was directly instigated by Ankara. And Erdogan from the start was already contemplating the Big Prize; to bribe the EU, especially Merkel, to pay – at least 3 billion euros – so most refuges remain not on Turkish soil, but on one of his own neo-Ottoman sub-plots; a «safe zone» to be built inside Syrian territory.

Extra evidence pointing to Ankara’s plotting is the fact that Turkey has not increased patrols on its Mediterranean coast – the departure point for scores of refuges to try their luck by boat on their way to safety of the Greek islands. The priority for Ankara was to close the Turkish-Syrian border. Not really «close» it, as safe passage remains guaranteed for selected «moderate rebels».

The Warsaw-based European border control agency Frontex is absolutely convinced that the Turkey-EU refugee power play will continue. Diplomatically, Frontex’s director Fabrice Leggeri advances that Turkey has to make it more difficult for the migrant smugglers.
Yet that won’t happen. And Germany – and the EU as a whole – will continue to be hostages of Ankara’s political maneuvering.

A EU-Turkey summit was held in November 2015. At the time, Erdogan promised there would be more security in the Aegean coast and more raids on migrant smugglers. Too little, too late. Turkey’s Aegean coast is 2,800 kilometers long. Ankara does not have the resources to police it properly.

So smuggling on a massive scale proceeds unabated. Smuggling rings with the right contacts – within Turkish police and AKP-related politicians – only need to pay roughly 3,000 euros for each group of refugees to clear the border and hit the sea.

In parallel, Ankara is clearly at war in Southeast Anatolia against the PKK Kurds. This is the number one priority, not smuggling of refugees, not to mention fighting ISIS/ISIL/Daesh. Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu could not be more straight to the point when he visited Berlin late last year: the Erdogan/Davutoglu Plan A is to annihilate the PKK Kurds. There is no Plan B.

Chaos, created then applauded

No one in Brussels will do it. So Frau Merkel ultimately would have to be the only EU leader to confront Erdogan and read him the riot act. It’s not only a matter of politely requesting Ankara to reduce refugee numbers. It’s to order him to do so; question him on why he released them en masse in the first place last year; and withhold any future financial rescue package, including the building of refugee camps inside Syrian territory.

The stark fact is that the whole refugee crisis – an existential crisis for Europe – is being used by Ankara as a bargaining chip for an elaborate extortion racket. Erdogan wants a tsunami of EU cash; and he wants a tsunami of concessions regarding Turkey’s negotiations for accession to the EU.

Meanwhile, there’s no concerted EU refugee policy to be seen. Not even a balancing act between humanitarian concerns and deterrence, altruism and realpolitik. No EU political leader will confront the responsibility of NATO’s wars (with petrodollar GCC support) crafting the whole crisis. The absolute majority of refugees are Syrians, Afghans and Africans who depart the continent via NATO-destroyed Libya.

Polls consistently show that a majority of EU citizens don’t want to welcome refugees anymore. As Belgium-based Jean Bricmont, author of Humanitarian Imperialism has correctly stressed, EU citizens who were never consulted on the issue of refugees and who are constantly asked to make sacrifices because ‘there is no money’ understandably do not accept this moral discourse anymore.

Bricmont is among the very few in Europe to connect the dots: The same people who encouraged ‘humanitarian’ interventions and ‘support’ for armed insurrections abroad, that have led to perpetual wars, generating a constant flow of refugees, are now demanding that the population of our countries ‘welcome the refugees’. They first generate chaos there, then they applaud chaos here.

Well, that’s the whole logic of the Empire of Chaos in a nutshell.

[semper occultus]

....good article...apart from the fact that afaik the regional refugee buffer zones were being funded ( & staffed ) by UN agencies bank-rolled by the contributiing goverments...and the funding seemed to just stop...which is what first seemed to indicate at least arguably some evidence that this crisis was being engineered ....

A report, released in Amman on Thursday, by more than 200 partners in the Regional Refugee & Resilience Plan (3RP) in Response to the Syria Crisis said programmes implemented by the UN and NGOs under the plan faced a current funding gap of a staggering US$3.47 billion

...although apparently we can easily stump up a "staggering" 3 billion euro bribe for Turkey to put very expensive imaginary bolts on the stable doors after the horses have all galloped over the horizon....
