Horror Movie - CENSORED



"African & Middle Eastern refugees are ripping Europe apart, is this the end of the EU"



---------------------- ꕤ ----------------------


Got onto YouTube to see if I could find current footage of the European migrant crisis drama.

Came across this video. 

Absolutely blood chilling to watch.

I'm not kidding.  I find this frightening.

Never mind the European Union, what of Europe itself?

I'm pretty sure this isn't current footage. I recall seeing something about an Italian immigrant rampage a while back, and I think some of that footage is in this.

I don't know why the Jewish people are in the video.  If they want a Jewish state, so be it.  If I were Jewish, I'd join them.

Israel is beginning to seem like the only sane place on the planet.

I gather from what's on the internet, that the woman interviewed -- Barbara Lerner Spectre -- is probably depicted in this video footage because of her stance on 'multiculturalism'.

There's a lot of material on the internet that's hostile towards this one woman.

People need to get a grip. It's ridiculous focusing on this woman's attitudes or beliefs.

It's not as if this one woman's stance on anything is responsible for the disastrous policies of European politicians.




In fact, Jewish people are said to be increasingly moving out of Europe due to anti-Semitism:

Founder of French anti-Semitism watchdog to move to Israel

http://www.timesofisrael.com/founder-of-french-anti-semitism-watchdog-to-move-to-israel/
EXTRACTS - various

Sammy Ghozlan, founder of France’s National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, announced he would immigrate to Israel, calling it “a message.”

Ghozlan, a former police commissioner whose organization is one of France’s leading watchdog groups on anti-Semitism, announced his departure on Monday – shortly after the annual roundup of the Jewish Agency showed that 2014 was the first year ever that the biggest number of immigrants to Israel came from France.

France’s growing anti-Semitism problem is believed to be driving the influx of over 7,000 newcomers to Israel from France last year, more than double the figure for 2013. Ghozlan has warned that while most of the hundreds of violent attacks recorded in 2014 were the work of Muslims, the French far-right also is adding to the problem with incitement and attempts to limit freedom of worship.

Checking out a little more material on Barbara Spectre,  I found a reference to the below article.


Asylum seekers sent to Sweden in previous weeks

Published:     01.07.14, 13:33

The Interior Ministry reported Tuesday that dozens of Eritrean asylum seekers were flown to Sweden in the last few weeks. This is the first time the asylum seekers went to Sweden.

Minister Gideon Sa'ar arranged the transfer with the Swedish government and the UN's refugee agency. Each asylum seeker received a $3,500 grant. (Omri Efraim)

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-



Well, it looks as if Israel's taking advantage of Sweden's open borders philosophy, in order to ensure that it is able to maintain a Jewish state.  Fair enough.

An excellent arrangement, at a bargain basement price.  For Israel. 

But what of Sweden?  Which isn't Israel's responsibility, by the way.

It's not Israel's fault Sweden has an open borders policy.

What am I missing here ... apart from a 'save the world', liberal leftie, Marxist revolutionary, hippie, or activist gene?

I see disaster.  I am horrified.  I feel like I'm watching an apocalypse.

I'm more afraid of what I've seen in this video, than I am of any imminent 'death cult' attack.  
But nobody else is seeing what I'm seeing?  How can that be possible?

Wave of Refugees in Europe Not An Accident But A Strategic Goal of USA

Austrian media: Rothschild started the migration of migrants ...

21:48 Aug 27 2015 News , World

[ ...]

"We have information that all or part of the costs borne by the organization for refugees from the United States. We found out after we noticed discrepancies in the figures are after tests regularly repeated, and did not jibe with the capabilities of people depending on the regions they come from. For example, it is not possible that so many people from North Africa at hand has about 11 thousand euros. How is it possible that no one asked this question? The only explanation is that someone is hiding something, "said the Austrian intelligence and added that even in friendly intelligence circles such as Germany and the US government some unusual silence.
 
"About our conclusions one from the United States does not want to talk to us, and we've had very good communication with their intelligence services. Even hnaa (Austrian military agency for information and internal security) no information or simply get a ban spread them. However, this must be made public, "concluded the Austrian intelligence.
According to an internal report of the Austrian intelligence services "means that the US organization created a model of co-financing and submitted most of the costs of trade immigrants. It is the "same organizations that have their work burned and cast into chaos Ukraine a year ago."
This is more than a clear allusion to the so-called NGOs. The article ends with an invitation "to journalists, policemen and intelligence officers to participate actively in the search for information to substantiate these claims, because the current situation is extremely dangerous and publication of accurate information can prevent the escalation of the crisis."
[ ... ]

Austrian magazine Info Direct announced recently, citing an unnamed source from the ranks of the Austrian army, that all or part of the cost of transport of refugees from Libya and North Africa bear the organization from the United States.

[ ... ]

French analyst Thierry Mejsan for Voltairenet portal writes that this finding confirmation of its extensive article published four months ago in which inter alia states that the wave of refugees in Europe is not an accidental side effect of the conflict in the Middle East, but the strategic goal of the United States.

Mejsan American strategy called the "chaos theory" and refers to Leo Strauss (1899 -1973.), Philosopher, father and guru of neoconservatives who have occupied key positions in American institutions.

"The principle of this strategic doctrine can be summarized as follows:

The easiest way to plunder the natural resources of a country over the long term is not taking the country by military means, but its destruction. No country has no army, and no enemy army is no danger of defeat. Since that time, a strategic military target of NATO with the United States at the forefront of the destruction of the state exclusively. What will happen later with the affected peoples, it is not a problem in Washington.

Migration in the Mediterranean, which for now is still a humanitarian concern (200,000 immigrants in 2014), will continue to grow into a serious economic problem. Recent decisions of the European Union are directed that the problem of mass immigration stop, but to justify new military operations which should keep the chaotic situation in Libya. Of course, chaos can not be solved. That is exactly so. The US strategy is actually directed to Europeans drawn into a military adventure in Libya, Syria and Ukraine.

Once Europeans to ... mired [neck deep] in the swamp of chaos due to lack of military training and capacity [they] will have to ask for help only remaining superpower.  It will unite us more than ever, because "protecting us from chaos," writes Mejsan.

In the end, it is necessary to mention the left-liberal end of the political spectrum, as always protect the interests of "the weakest", in the case of immigrants, while in fact participate in this large and lucrative business, sometimes not knowing what it seems.

In any event, this huge wave of immigrants that swept Europe should be disposed of, and the unfortunate people given the opportunity to live in peace and the conditions worthy of man. However, only talk about the tip of the iceberg, not solve the problem at the root, whether it comes to Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Ukraine, only proves the allegations Mejsan to Brussels as much as Washington is participating in the production of chaos globally that in Europe, forcing hundreds of thousands of people.

The bill will eventually pay European taxpayers and spending of public funds for these purposes will inevitably produce an increase in xenophobia.

[ ...]

Someone is because of their resources and geostrategic position decided that their homeland must be destroyed and the worst financial oligarchy even this "great migration" is seen as a lucrative source of profit.

COMMENT

Found this an interesting article ... if you ignore the references to Rothschilds banking (which don't make sense to me), and if you can put up with a poor translation.

What I think the article is saying is that the mass migration from Africa and the Middle East isn't just an accident of US and US aligned Western meddling in those regions.
Instead, it is part of a  US strategy to mire Europe in conditions which will require Europe to seek US support and, therefore, to cleave to the US and its aims, I'm guessing.

Not sure what to make of this yet.

The European Union is blind to the military strategy of the United States

The political leaders of the European Union are entirely wrong about the Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe and the migration to the Union of people fleeing the war zones. Thierry Meyssan demonstrates here that these are not simply the accidental consequences of conflict in the wider Middle East and Africa, but a strategic objective of the United States.

CLOUD COMPUTING & SURVELLANCE: Caspar Bowden - European Parliament - Oct 2012 (Video)
















Caspar Bowden forsees PRISM in October 2012

Secret access by foreign govts
in context of cloud computing:
Cloud providers are transnational companies ...
[Caspar Bowden 2012]

subject to conflicts of international public law.
Biggest threat not from Patriot Act
but from a law still largely unknown.

... the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Amendment Act 2008
Cloud computing a grave threat
to sovereignty of European data

None of the regulatory proposals so far [2012]
appreciated the gravity of the situation.

Details of FISA unknown to Commission or data protection authorities until 2011.

... without any of the safeguards applicable to US citizens (in direct contradiction to what public told in EU Parliament).

FISAAA passed 2008 to legalise surveillance which US govt began circa 9/11, which became known as 'warrantless wiretapping'.

Mass surveillance of interl communications using super computers to trawl through data has been practised for a long time.

The system known as Echelon was itself investigated by the European Parliament in 2000.

Question that led to warrantless wiretapping scandal was: *had Americans had been caught up in intl surveillance systems?*

Note: 'warrantless wiretapping' (ie mass US surveillance) scandal = issue in 2012, prior to Snowden expose (May 2013)

Recommended: Find speech of William Binney, one of whilsteblowers @ NY conference in June & consider yourself implications.

William Binney: a crypto-mathematician & NSA senior official nearly 40 years
LINK:
Interview: June 14, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErRQeQd39zw

William Binney was NSA engineer who built a vast data mining system for NSA, designed for mass surveillance, foreign & intl.

European policy makers have not understood that they were intended the targets of the surveillance system that Binney built.

Under Euro Convention of Human Rights & EU fundamental rights = illegal to discriminate protection according to nationality.

Everyone in the jurisdiction of Europe has an equal right to have their privacy protected from unjustified surveillance.

FISAAA only protects US persons. Europe
= legitimate purpose of covert surveillance
is LIMITED to combating serious crime & national or economic security.

Europe: one member state cannot lawfully spy on another member's citizens merely for some foreign policy objective/advantage.

FISAAA expressly authorises surveillance of info with respect to foreign-based political organisation (or territory) ...

[FISAAA authority] ... that relates to the affairs of the United States. [Pretty much covers everywhere - blanket authority]

FISAAA vastly broader definition than anything that is lawful under ECHR, so foreigners' data in the cloud could be scanned

ie. Given broad FISAAA authority 2008, foreign data in the cloud could be scanned by USA for purely political surveillance.

Any data that was moved to cloud that was previously processed on EU org premises has been vulnerable.

A.29 working party issued opinion on cloud computing Far from waking up to risks of mass surveillance, they endorse mechanisms

A.29 endorse mech's devised decade ago eg. outsourcing direct marketing & call centres as suitable 4 cloud computing COLOSSAL RISK

A.29 warning prohibit direct disclosures by cloud providers to non-EU govts, unless this falls within established international agreements

However, A.29 believes the real risk comes from Patriot Act & case by case demands for data. No appreciation of risk ..

A.29 no appreciation of risk of continuous & systematic mass surveillance of cloud data.

Software fabric of US cloud providers is maintained from ops centres in US, so mass surveillance possible through remote control

[Cloud providers: ops centres in US] so, USG can secretly order companies to comply to demand for access to Euro cloud data.

Any data put into clouds can be accessed directly & secretly by USA, to bypass agreements covering law enforcement sector

US can bypass:
eg
PNR & Swift Agreements etc.
A.29 fully envisage & *permit* secret disclosures of data / loopholes have already been built in.

Encrypt. data to & from cloud irrelevant b/c FISAAA lets data extraction from inside data centre after data decrypted for processing

No way EU data protect. authority can know if cloud is wiretapped, if software powering cloud controlled out EU jurisdiction

Mass surveillance of cloud would be done in software using power of cloud itself to scan & filter data for further analysis

Huge new data centres belonging to NSA are being built for this purpose.

No commercial audit process can possibly uncover secret use of national security laws of another country.

Until problem is fixed by revising US legislation or treaty, only prudent policy is a) physically confining cloud facilities ...

.. under exclusive EU jurisdiction. b) using open-source software b/c backdoor insertion risk in closed-source software.

FISAAA can order backdoor insertion into closed-source software.

Closing legal loopholes for cloud surveillance is not enough, however.

Not credible that national data protection authorities can mount effective enforcement actions v. coys size of Microsoft or Google

$1-billion fine on Microsoft for competition offences took the EU nearly 10 yrs, while Microsoft derived profits in excess.

Coys can afford to lawyer up to tie cases in knots. Same thing will happen w. fines under regulations & 2% = small cost of business.

ie. 2% = small cost of doing business to access the 5-million consumers of the EU

Need: dedicated & centrally operating prosecution authority for major cases of transnational data protection enforcement.

Also need: capacity to fight long legal battles with adequate professional resources.  New Board & independence of Comm. influence.

Only in this way can enforcement become sufficiently credible to alter corporate behaviour.

Deterrent to US companies ignoring EU protection law = very substantial rewards to be offered to corporate whistleblowers

Need: corporate whitleblower rewards of sufficient size to overcome US secrecy laws & cast-iron legal protection, as well.

Such methods have been effective against tax evasion & competition cases; why not data protection?

It is not too late to wake up from the long sleepwalk towards an irreversible loss of data sovereignty.

Unless 3rd countries prepared to offer Europeans the same protections they offer own citizens, the clouds will have to part.

COMMENT

Found this very interesting and have transcribed a rough take of what was presented before the EU Parliament by Caspar Bowden, in 2012.

The current status of the proposals is unknown to me.

What was also conveyed is that:
European law prohibits state surveillance of the ordinary, lawful, democratic, political activities of individuals or groups.
Somebody ought to let the British police and authorities know about this, as they're forever conducting aggressive spying and infiltration campaigns against political activists and protesters (Oh, and mass surveillance of ordinary citizens).

Iran - Sanctions vs Nuclear Negotiations

IRAN



Germany, France, UK tell Congress to hold back on Iran legislation

WASHINGTON -- Top diplomats from Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the European Union are asking Congress to refrain from passing new nuclear-related legislation on Iran, warning a bill could derail negotiations over its nuclear program.

In an op-ed published Thursday in the Washington Post, French foreign minister Laurent Fabius, UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and EU high representative for foreign affairs Federica Mogherini say a new bill would give Iranian opponents of a comprehensive nuclear accord "new arguments" for subterfuge.
http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Germany-France-UK-tell-Congress-to-hold-back-on-Iran-legislation-388602

"Israeli TV Shows Satellite Imagery of New Iranian Long-Range Missile On the Launch Pad - January 22, 2015... " [via Matthew Aid]

Give diplomacy with Iran a chance

January 21 at 8:27 PM 
[...]
Our objective remains clear. We want a comprehensive solution that both recognizes the Iranian people’s right to access peaceful nuclear energy and allows the international community to verify that Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon. Any agreement must provide concrete, verifiable and long-lasting assurances that Iran’s nuclear program is and will remain exclusively peaceful. Nothing less will do. It is now up to Iran to make a strategic choice between open-ended cooperation and further isolation.
To be sure, difficult challenges lie ahead, and critical differences between Iran and the international community must be addressed. That is why we extended the negotiating window until later this year.

In this context, our responsibility is to make sure diplomacy is given the best possible chance to succeed. Maintaining pressure on Iran through our existing sanctions is essential. But introducing new hurdles at this critical stage of the negotiations, including through additional nuclear-related sanctions legislation on Iran, would jeopardize our efforts at a critical juncture. While many Iranians know how much they stand to gain by overcoming isolation and engaging with the world, there are also those in Tehran who oppose any nuclear deal. We should not give them new arguments. New sanctions at this moment might also fracture the international coalition that has made sanctions so effective so far. Rather than strengthening our negotiating position, new sanctions legislation at this point would set us back.

[...]
EXTRACTS - FULL @ WASHINGTON POST - HERE.

COMMENT

This isn't looking all that good for the West.

France, UK, Germany and the EU are virtually publicly begging for no disruption of the Iran nuclear negotiations.

Meanwhile, Iran's got some kind of massive long-range missile (middle article).

And US Congress is running amok.

At this point, I'm spooked and would go with anything Israel decides because they're probably better at assessing the pros and cons than anyone else.

----------------------------------------------

PS

The European politicians could have done a direct appeal to the US government, without doing the dramatic public appeal in Washington Post.

Is all this drama in Israel, in the US Congress and among European foreign ministers, just a bit of a show they're putting on?

SWEDEN - Nordic Battle Group 15 - Carl Bildt Blog


CARL BILDT BLOG

[GOOGLE TRANSLATION - Original Swedish]



What happens to NBG15? Is our preparedness enough? [Referring to Nordic Battle Group 15]

ROM: Since the beginning again stand a Nordic Battlegroup under Swedish leadership ready for the efforts that the EU could decide as part of its common foreign and security policy. [Take this says:  a Nordic Battle Group is on standby, under Swedish leadership or command, waiting for the EU say-so, to take part in 'foreign & security policy.']

It was in 1999, after the Kosovo war experiences, as the EU summit in Helsinki decided to extend its also military facilities, and in June 2004 there were more officially precisely these battle groups of battalion size that should be in constant readiness.  [By 2004, battalion sized battle groups were on constant readiness, I gather.]

As the EU had already in June 2003 in the so-called Operation Artemis conducted a successful military operation in the Congo to assist the UN in conjunction with the world organization with its little slower way of working would strengthen its peace efforts in the country.

And Operation Artemis was also something of a baptism of fire for the Swedish Special Forces who participated in it, and whose efforts came to be valued significantly high.

The idea has since been to the ever shall be two battle groups ready for action at short notice. And we had a Nordic battle deployable later than 2011.

However, it is so stridssgrupperna as such never been deployed, and therefore has doubts about the concept has gradually increased. Not inconsiderable resources are used to equip, train and keep them in readiness in the various countries.

Opportunities to use them has not been lacking.

In the last year, suddenly became current with an EU military operation in the Central African Republic to prevent what very well could have led to an outright genocide, I belonged to those who argued that the EU's battle group would be deployed.

That did
not work.

The reasons were a bit mixed.

The main responsibility for the battle which then stood in readiness low of Greece, and Athens was the interest to say the least weak. But equally important was that the man in Paris clearly preferred to put together something that was indeed the EU, but that clearly was under French command [  (1) Greece not on-board; (2) general lack of enthusiasm (3) Frenchies wanted to be commanders of forces.]

And the reason for that was that the course was about to reinforce and complement the French national strength which of course made the first rapid intervention in the country. [Maybe this says, French wanted to take the lead b/c the French  previously led a rapid response intervention in the African country in question.]

For me - then foreign minister, and fairly active in the discussion on the issue of ministerial circuit - this was unfortunately a sign that the battle groups of days maybe numbered.  [No idea.  Rotation based leadership of these groups was discussed?]

The situation in the Central African Republic was so close to the situations battle groups had been set up for that one could imagine:-threatening genocide, appeal from the UN, the need for rapid and limited effort.

But that did not happen. After considerable difficulties did you design the much more limited strength EUFOR RCA which now has a mandate that extends until March of this year.  [EUFOR RCA -- ie European Union Force Republic of Central Africa -- the weaker force was deployed.  Fully operational @ 700 troops in mid 2014.  Bet CB was spewing it wasn't something more grand, with him at the helm?]

Now, as our well trained and well equipped Nordic Battle Group in readiness for the next six months - 2,400 people from seven different countries.  [Now they've got the NBG @ 2,400 on standby & CB is just hanging for them to be deployed somewhere.]

If it will be deployed, I think the concept of EU battlegroups survive. If it does not, I think it will fade away.  [Ooh, if there isn't a deployment, EU battle groups are kaput.]

The speculation in the Irish press - Ireland is also part of the workforce - is spoken about possible interventions in Southern Sudan and Mali.

I have not always easy to see, although nothing can be ruled out.

The situation in Southern Sudan is catastrophic, and the characters right now tends to indicate that it will be worse, but a large UN force is already in place. [Must have resources.]

And if the UN force in Mali suffer from challenges it fails, I think rather in other efforts to deal with the situation.

Personally, I would probably rather see an option for operation in Libya. The situation there deteriorates continuously, and although the United Nations through its special envoy Bernardino Leon makes meritorious efforts to reach a political solution success has so far been limited. 

Would begin to achieve success, it is well not entirely inconceivable that there could be a need for a force that can quickly secure some key installations or functions. Such a task would battle to have the potential to solve.

Obviously there are also other situations that could arise - including a new collapse in the Central African Republic.

To secure parts of the "line of contact" between the separatist Russian groups in eastern Ukraine and the rest of the Ukraine would be such, but the likelihood that the EU could collect himself to such a decision, I believe can best be described as non-existent.  [If sh*t hits the fan in Ukraine, CB doesn't think the EU will have its sh*t together so as to reach an immediate/quick enough decision to deploy the rapid response play-group.  Or so it would appear.  But it could be a trick.  Maybe they're ready to pounce.  ]

In an effort is necessary decision by EU foreign ministers, and it requires no object. Thereafter, rapid decisions of the respective countries, and in Sweden, it is then that the government proposes the parliament a decision by a rapid procedure which it developed a model.

How the Swedish government would react in a situation where the EU wanted a stake of battle, no one knows today, but first, we know that the Greens are almost always been opposed to thoughts like these, and secondly, we know that the money that was previously reserved for a possible effort is disappearing in other directions.

In some places there are those who say that the investment in battle taking resources and energy from the work of national defense, and that it is now high time to saddle up on.

I do not agree with.

Let us not forget that the defense resolutions 2000 and 2004 were written off almost entirely on national defense task. The work of the battle groups was then an important way to ensure quality development in the Defence Forces in association with international collaboration. Without this work, we had been in a significantly worse position today. [Purpose of battle groups ('quality developement' & 'collaboration' ... sold as a domestic defence force investment (how clever); how financial sleight of hand, of sorts, does the trick -- ie a question of allocation, I guess.]

And although the national defense tasks now - and rightly so! - Come into sharper focus, Sweden should not abdicate when it comes to international peace and stabilitertsinsatser.  [Hahaha ... it's not about peace & stability; it's about neo-con agenda on a global scale.]

We are left with a small part in NATO's training mission in Afghanistan, are included in the EU's training efforts in Somalia and Mali, is now entering the demanding UN mission in Mali and will now once again be featured in the EU naval mission in the Indian Ocean.

And the world around Europe's borders have hardly been peaceful and stable in recent years. That the EU would dispose of the instrument battle groups IS would hardly responsibly.

But the coming months may become decisive.

COMMENT


Random information that I looked at.  Links are available for follow-up.

It was all very interesting at the time.  

Doubt I'll remember all this information.  But even if I remember some of it, it helps form a larger picture.

The buzz is in eventually linking bits of information together to make more sense of the whole.
