From the very beginning of the manufactured Refugee Crisis, I have been writing that it was created in an attempt to further destabilize a number of nations across the globe with a particular interest in the remaining semi-socialist European nations.
A book from 2011 written by Kelly M. Greenhill titled Weapons of Mass Migration: Forced Displacement, Coercion, and Foreign Policy published by Cornell University Press, sheds quite a bit of light on the subject of creating various crises in order to generate a number of refugees who can then be used to destabilize targeted nations in a variety of ways.
It’s important to understand that Ms. Greenhill isn’t simply some university professor researching and writing obscure opinion papers which no one reads. Her credentials are listed on her university webpage and they conclude:
…Greenhill currently serves as Research Fellow and Chair of the Conflict, Security and Public Policy Working Group at Harvard Kennedy School of Government’s Belfer Center…
Greenhill’s research has been supported by the Social Science Research Council, the MacArthur Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, the Eisenhower Foundation and the Neubauer Foundation. Outside of academia, Greenhill has served as a consultant to the Ford Foundation and to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), as a defense program analyst for the U.S. Department of Defense, and as an economic policy intern in the Office of Senator John F. Kerry. She sits on the editorial boards of Sage Publications as well as the journals Security Studies and the Journal of Global Security Studies. She previously served as Associate Editor of Security Studies.
So Ms. Greenhill is a think-tank research fellow funded by globalist institutions like the Eisenhower, MacArthur and CIA-linked Ford foundation who also served as a program analyst for the Department of Defense.
I would love to know which programs she helped analyze.
Greenhill’s understanding of Weapons of Mass Migration campaigns appears to be second to none as she carefully lays out the programs of coercive engineered migrations and their desired results in her published paper (PDF):
“Coercion is generally understood to refer to the practice of inducing or preventing changes in political behavior through the use of threats, intimidation, or some other form of pressure—most commonly, military force. This article focuses on a very particular nonmilitary method of applying coercive pressure—the use of migration and refuge e crises as instruments of persuasion“…
“Coercive engineered migrations (or coercion-driven migrations ) are “those cross-border population movements that are deliberately created or manipulated in order to induce political, military and/or economic concessions from a target state or states.”…
“Coercive engineered migration is frequently, but not always, undertaken in the context of population outflows strategically generated for other reasons. In fact, it represents just one subset of a broader class of events that all rely on the creation and exploitation of such crises as means to political and military ends—a phenomenon I call strategic engineered migration.”
The paper itself is a fascinating look into mindset of those think-tankers and foundation-funded crafters of deep-state politics. It shows just how cold and calculating and diabolical these people really are.
Yesterday, Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari gave a speech before the United Nations during a summit on the Syrian refugee crisis. He spoke in depth about the real causes of the crises that are at the center of this current issue and specifically described who these refugees are.
Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari said that the main causes for immigration are terrorism, the Israeli occupation of Arab territories, the military invasion of Iraq, and aggression against the region’s countries like what happened in Libya, foreign interference in states’ internal affairs, and unilateral economic “sanctions,” and depriving people of their countries’ resources.
In a speech at a session held on Friday at the United Nations to discuss the issue of illegal immigrants in the Mediterranean area, particularly Syrian immigrants, al-Jaafari said that immigration needs to be addressed as the global phenomenon it is, and that limiting the discussion to a single geographic areas, or focusing on Syrian refugees alone, implies that there are political motivations behind proposing the issue rather than humanitarian motives. SANA News Agency
As you can see if you look past the carefully manipulated and controlled MSM evaluation of the refugee crisis, there are a number of other contributing factors that created the current Weapons of Mass Migration campaign. Most notably, the refugees themselves come from a number of neoliberalized or currently destabilized countries which the United States forced our own brand of “freedom” upon such as Libya, Pakistan, South Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria (just to name a few). These are what Greenhill describes as coercive engineered migrations.
These Weapons of Mass Migration campaigns produce a myriad of potentially positive and profitable outcomes for the elites who like to conduct them. Very rarely are the results positive for either the populations of the targeted nations or the refugees themselves.
The other day, George (Soros) chimed in on the ongoing refugee ‘crisis’ via an OpEd for Project Syndicate, billed as a “global opinion” website. It’s a website where you have folks like Gordon Brown pushing the refugee “crisis” as justification for his global charter school scam, Henry Miller telling everyone to stop believing all those lying scientists when they say GMOs are bad for us and Richardo Housman telling us all we have nothing to fear from the IMF…
Essentially, what Mr. Regime Change Billionaire says in his 6-point plan is that the EU and other Westernized nations have to accept a universal asylum program which will take from the various nations their right to determine who enters their nation and how while also suggesting all of those nations take out trillions of dollars in various forms of loans in order to pay for the relocation of these individuals.
And oh yeah… he also says we should allow various corporations to become “sponsors” of these immigrants, ensuring they will all get an equitable piece of the cheap labor workforce. Scott Creighton
But perhaps most importantly, aside from all the precious money this current refugee crisis will create for the elites and the masters of the universe at the for-profit central banks as they loan various nations trillions of dollars to handled the refugees, the most useful result of this destabilization campaign may just be a variation on the old “divide and conquer” trick.
Let’s go back to the Ford Foundation expert for more on that:
“Like immigration and refugee policy more generally, real and threatened migration crises tend to split societies into (at least) two mutually antagonistic and often highly mobilized groups: the pro- refugee/migrant camp and anti-refugee/migrant camp” Kelly Greenhill
In that section of her paper, Greenhill carefully explains how the planners of these Weapons of Mass Migration campaigns understand and manipulate both the anti-refugee camps as well as the pro-refugee camps. They do this in order to drive emotional wedges between the population of the targeted countries. Between each other and between the people and the elites who rule them. Her evaluation of it is extremely well documented.
People have been asking themselves why plant fake Syrian passports when they staged the recent false flag event in Paris. At first glance it would seem counter-intuitive in that it doesn’t help with their campaign to force the refugees on the various countries across Europe and here in the states. For a while, I didn’t really understand that one myself.
Having read Greenhill’s paper I think it seems likely that they not only wish to impose these millions of refugees on the targeted nations and their citizenry, but they also want there to be as much internal conflict on the issue as possible as they do it. That enables them to further weaken the resolve of the targeted populations and once again, drives them further apart from one another, preventing a coming together on mutually agreeable grounds.
It’s brilliant when you think about it.
So before you start thinking someone is on your side, whatever that side may be relating to this issue, remember: the campaign being waged depends on heated, emotional, public conflict between the anti-refugee camps and the pro-refugee camps. Once again, it’s more WWE crisis politics.
I strongly recommend you read Ms. Greenhill’s paper. It certainly puts it in perspective and I hope more alternative websites read it and try to understand the current Weapons of Mass Migration campaign being run by our leaders against us.
Reblogged this on Today,s Thought.
That’s some food for thought. It helps explain what I have sensed is the cognitive dissonance being created by the event in San Bernardino and the speech soon afterwards by Obama. If you really believed the event happened just the way it was reported, then the guilt-tripping by the President is going to throw you into intense pain and confusion. You might even be part of the splitting of the Republican party (where it is plain the regular candidates detest Trump, who continues to double down on his remarks that answer those internal agonies in people who reject a conciliatory posture urged on them by Obama). What will be the result? Perhaps a third party, where Trump takes a certain percentage of Republican voters to his camp, but never achieves enough votes to win. This would favor the Democratic candidate.
If this process is as well-understood as all that, it is probably being used a lot. That would argue for the party in power to be behind every one of the false flags. After all, you have to have the power to order them. Not to say the Republicans, once returned to executive power, will not do the same, as they did under Bush.
So this is the domestic side of it, as opposed to the global.

Carter Banned Iranians from Coming to US During Hostage Crisis
Trump is just like Hitler. Or Jimmy Carter?
https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/261062/carter-banned-iranians-coming-us-during-hostage-daniel-greenfield
Ric, I’m reading the pdf by Greenhill linked in the above article (recommended) and she discovered this instance of Jimmy
Carter caving to the Chinese on human rights over a coercive migration threat:
“Moreover, issued threats may be not only private but also conspicuously ambiguous. Consider, for example, the suggestive reply of then Chinese Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping to U.S. President Jimmy Carter during their historic 1979 meeting. After Carter asserted that the United States could not trade freely with China until its record on human rights improved and Chinese were allowed to emigrate freely, Deng smilingly retorted, “Okay. Well then, exactly how many Chinese would you like, Mr. President? One million? Ten million? Thirty million?” Whether Deng actually intended to influence U.S. behavior remains unclear, but, in point of fact, his rejoinder reportedly stopped Carter cold and summarily ended their discussion of human rights in China.”
This looks like another unintended–or intended?–consequence of the institutionalized ignorance of elementary psychology. If the large majority of mentally normal people were aware of the existence and the danger of essential psychopaths and similar empathy-free deviants, they would scrutinize their rulers’ mental health at least as much as their political orientations.
Going further, it is not difficult to understand that any ruling class that imposes mass migration is dominated by unempathic individuals. The targeted government could effortlessly expose them as such and offer this finding as an important background factor in the inevitable conflict between restrictionists and promoters that Greenhill’s paper describes.
This confirms one essential feature of Plato’s worldwide cave: the best-minded political opinion-makers’s commitment to keep the public ignorant of simple information that would be so helpful…
Love,

When I saw “SAGE”, I almost fell out of my chair – I’ve been trying to bring SAGE and its owner to Dr. Tracy’s attention for more than 2 months, but have been hindered by poor communication skills and a lack of credentials – I’m not a writer or a researcher, but I can tell you
a story that’s going to make a lot of commenters here say “WTF? No way could all that have happened and it was never picked up by Drudge or AJ or anyone else!”
Anyway, if I could address Scott Creighton directly, I would ask him if he noticed anything peculiar when researching Greenhill’s background – I only scrolled through a few pages of google search results, but that was enough to confirm she has apparently retained someone to manage her internet appearance. Her boss at SAGE is a woman named Sara Miller-McCune. Mrs. (widow) M-M has also had someone doing “image management” on her behalf – I looked at 24 pages of google results for her name and didn’t see anything that wasn’t in her official bio at sagepub.com – considering that she’s a Zionist Jew who’s been obsessed with public policy, behavioral sciences, and spoon-feeding pseudoscience to us rubes for the last 50 years, I think it must’ve taken
real money to bury hidden agenda that way.
Just looking at her picture gives me the creeps.

And courtesy of https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/mst/node/432698 here’s the latest advice from academia on how to help “confident” people (like me) make the “correct” choice to vaccinate:
“Press room
Researchers profile four types of non-vaccinators
October 1, 2015
Los Angeles, CA- While scientists are continuously improving vaccinations to stop the spread of disease, many people continue to opt out. In a new review of the literature, researchers identified four types of people who decide not to vaccinate due to issues of complacency, convenience, confidence, and calculation, and offer strategies to address these issues. This study is published today in the new issue of Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences, a Federation of Associations in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (FABBS) journal published by SAGE.
Analyzing factors that influence decisions to vaccinate and issues that impede vaccinations, researchers Betsch et al. put decision-makers into four broad categories:
Complacent: Individuals who do not care about immunization
•Researchers recommend changes in relaying information, such as campaigns that increase awareness about the likelihood of infection, strengthen positive attitudes toward vaccinations, stress the social benefit of vaccines, position vaccination as the norm, and debunk vaccination myths, such as the myth about the link between vaccination and autism. Strong recommendations to vaccinate, such as those coming from doctors, may also be an effective way to motivate this type. Additional strategies include changes to vaccination policy, such as changing from opt-in systems to opt-out systems or making vaccination mandatory. Adding incentives, such as fines for non-vaccination and cash rewards for vaccination uptake, may also be influential for this type.
Convenience: Individuals who lack the willpower to vaccinate or face the inconvenience of cost and travel
•Researchers recommend changes to the decision structure that facilitate the act of vaccination. Further, doctor recommendations to vaccinate as well as other interventions that support self-control and follow through can be effective with this type, such as asking individuals to pre-commit to vaccination and issuing phone and SMS appointment reminders.
Confidence: Individuals who possess incorrect knowledge that distorts their perceived risk of vaccination and weakens their trust in vaccinations
•Researchers recommend exposure to information that debunks vaccination myths and that comes from trustworthy sources, like doctors.
Calculation: Individuals who weigh potential pros and cons of vaccination, and may not vaccinate when information is contradictory
•Researchers recommend debunking myths, increasing awareness about the likelihood of infection, and stressing the social benefits of vaccines, which will provide calculating individuals with correct information to aid their decision making. For this type, contradictory information can result in inaction, so providing additional information in support of vaccination can be effective. Incentives may also be influential for calculating individuals.
The researchers assume confident individuals to be the hardest to persuade, and that attempts to do so may have negative effects, such as increasing their resistance to vaccination.
“Efforts should be concentrated on motivating the complacent, removing barriers for those for whom vaccination is inconvenient, and adding incentives and additional utility for the calculating,” the researchers wrote. “These strategies might be more promising, economic and effective than convincing those who lack confidence in vaccination.”

Robert, this is great information. Thank you.
Robert,
Are you talking about the peer review scandal Sage was involved in?
Interesting info on Greenhill. Not surprising that her study of Mass Migration linked in the article was published by the Center on Contemporary Conflict, which is the research wing of the Department of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. They do research and analysis for the “Defense” community.
As such, it is a remarkably frank document. I hope people are reading it.
The photo of Obama talking to the child – am I nuts or does this caption say that this is a girl – a girl wearing a head scarf and a boy’s white shirt and tie – Our first transgender refugee child???
How can mass migration of this scale ever be justified for the host countries? Even cataclysmic earthquakes that killed many more people and made thousands homeless ever result in mass relocation. None of this makes senses for those of us living down here in Peasantville.
Regarding the photo from the Huff and Puff Post, other photos from the same presidential visit show girls too wearing white shirts and ties.
From the Huff Post:
~Obama commented Saturday at a learning center in the Malaysian capital that serves the poor, including some refugees. He met with boys and girls wearing crisp white and black uniforms and neckties as they sat at tables and worked on painting and puzzle projects.
Obama said the youngsters “represent the opposite of terror, the opposite of the type of despicable violence we saw in Mali and Paris.”
Most of the children the president met with are Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic group. Tens of thousands of Rohingya have fled Myanmar to escape persecution by the country’s Buddhist majority, with many ending up in Malaysia, where Obama was attending a regional economic summit.~
The first comment to this article from a Huff and Puff reader by the name of Willa:
“I cannot imagine not being able to see President Obama on the news when he is no longer in the White House…I’ve never seen such a dignified and caring man in all my life and I’m NOT young.”
Her comment has 353 thumbs up.
Anne, I’m sure that was the contingent from “Man’s Country”.
LOL
You got it. Glad you noticed.
A Play on the left via Transgender “Middle Eastern Girl”.
This is how disgusting the Left (Progressive Uni – Party) is.
This little innocent baby girl….had no idea the devils were using her.
Where’s the Father? Does he care? Is he part of this?
I try to contain my anger…………
Come on, lighten up. Ever seen a British school uniform from years back – girls wore ties and jackets (I recall seeing schoolgirls in Kent dressed that way)? I went to a girls’ high school in the US which had a sister school in Britain (I am an “old Cornelian” – even though I only went one year) and a slightly masculine style to our uniforms was how it worked. Don’t lets be so parochial!
If you go to Mayfieldgirls.org and click on history of the school at the sidebar, you will see a bunch of girls around a nun. All the girls are wearing ties.
We cannot waste our time mindlessly demonizing people we do not understand.
If this is from Briton I agree. If this was originated here in America I disagree.
Wow How Freudian.
Briton vs Britain.. Weird
I meant nothing
I’m good Musings.
I just think using Children for a agenda is despicable.
One opinion floating in the wind of many opinions.
Nobody’s right . if everybody’s wrong,,,,
It’s time to Stop, Everyone look whats going down…( not directed at you Muse)
.
If she is a girl from the British Commonwealth, it is not surprising for her school uniform to look like that. My sister school, Mayfield in Britain, looks like it went full tie, but we only wore the blazers and “man-tailored” shirts. It is a form of “power dressing” especially for females who want to be taken seriously academically in some societies which want to marginalize them. That is what is behind these uniforms. I can even imagine that among some sophisticated Muslims choosing the hijab may have a similar impact – don’t look at my hair, look at me. Or the nuns. Same story. So over-generalizing is perhaps good for getting off a satirical remark, but it does not do justice to the situation.
I Agree if she is from England and not being used as a pawn here in America.
This probably reminds him of his childhood in Indonesia. When Obama Mama was with Lolo. He attended school there. They were ALL Muslim schools then. I don’t know about now.
It speaks volumes about his relationships. Of course, none of that matters. He follows order, or else. They do allow him to have fun though. I can assure you that when he thinks of his childhood he isn’t thinking anything American or even European.
If you are familiar with the official tale, he would be about the most unusual person to ever sit in the chair. None of it makes sense. No one explains where the funds for all of this exotic adventure came from.
No one explains how “Mom” got her gig with the NGO doing “micro-loans”. I can guess. No one explains how she just happened to hook up with the second in command of the new US coup installed government.
No one explains how or why little Barry left to go to Grandma. No one explains how he got into the private (and terribly pricey) school that NEVER accepted transfer students.
No one explains who funded all of this education, trips to Pakistan, and eventual nesting in Chicago. I know of absolutely no one with a history even remotely like this.
From traveling “furniture salesman” with a daughter in a private “French school” in Beirut, to being personal “pals” with Frank Marshal Davis. From goat-herder Kenyan doctoral candidate father, to high school educated bank president Mom. P.T. Barnum would blush.
So, yeah, images coming from the White House these days are certain to mirror the images dancing in POTUS’ gourd. You can rest assured that, whatever they are, they are not remotely traditional.
This may help provide some insight into BO’s attitudes:

She is harsh, but not off the mark. She says two things in this that I found important. In the seventh century one was either a Jew or a Christian or a Pagan (in this area of the world).
She also said that, as a Christian one must hate the sin but love the sinner. That is certainly correct. It is hard to do and she shows her contempt for the sins in a forceful way. Nonetheless, it should give people pause for thought.
You can’t make this into something “pretty”.
Reblogged this on Kerberos616.
Scott Creighton – thank you, this is a great post.
In all the hand wringing (mine included) over masses in the millions being distributed throughout the western world, and decrying the bleak future and loss of the white culture, who exactly are associated with these think tanks and foundations given the honor to destroy our lives?
Every time we see them trotted out they seem to be of Caucasian ancestry. Do they not know what they are doing or are they different from the human race, just hiding behind the pale masks?
They are the same people who commission the building of Deep Underground Military Bases, and stockpiled seeds in a hardened bunker above the Arctic circle in Norway. They are planning doomsday.
The Georgia Guidestones tell us what they plan–and we are not part of it. They intend to reduce the human population by 90%, and maintain it at half a billion, forever.
They are self-selecting, primarily from illuminati bloodlines and the families who have been groomed through the elite universities for centuries. If you make a few billion currency units, you can join that exclusive club–but only if you truly get with the program. Soros is a good example. Bill Gates. Maurice Strong, Javier Solana.
But the minds behind this, the think tankers, as Creighton amusingly calls them, are often outliers, very smart people who are accepted into the club in a Wilsonian meritocracy sort of way. Back at the dawn of the Progressive Era, when Wilson was ensconced at Princeton, he wrote that the next stage of human evolution will require a technocracy–sort-of philosopher kings in the Platonic sense. The Industrial Revolution, and the rapidity of the technological changes it was causing society to experience, meant that the hoi polloi could no longer be allowed any real say in how society functions. It would from now on be the responsibility of experts. The rabble can be allowed to THINK they have a say, to keep them from rebelling.
Progressivism is social darwinism.
But it is in fact driven by denizens of the Spirit Realm, and the humans at the top do their bidding. Ultimately, it is non-human beings who are guiding this process. The vetting process that selects the humans who implement these plans is very well worked out. Perhaps the best book on this topic is CS Lewis’ That Hideous Strength. It is circles within circles; when one is allowed to advance deeper into structure he is surprised that it exists. At the center are the gods (the Hebrew word is “elohim).
The people who are doing the gods’ bidding believe they will be richly rewarded. It is what is behind the transhumanism movement. They believe the promises they have been given that they will in fact one day be “as gods.” So they are already mentally different from the human race, and hope soon to be physically, as well.
Are they ever in for a surprise.
The first time someone suggested this to me (or perhaps it was the first time I was prepared to hear it), it struck me oddly as remembered information as opposed to the bombshell one might expect. The notion that the show is being directed by some non-human entities, as outlandlish as it may seem at first utterance, actually explains a whole lot and much more satisfactorily than other theories. Will read the Lewis book you’ve recommended.
Patrick, maybe you should mention that CS Lewis’ “That Hideous Strength” is fiction, and not necessarily a description of your literal position.
“That Hideous Strength” is theological science fiction, in which Lewis pits scientific materialism against Christian beliefs. Lewis’ scientific materialists believe that nothing exists outside of physical world, and his novel prefigures trans-humanism in that the materialists seek perfection outside of God by escaping from their bodies into machines.
The problem with the book, as George Orwell has written, is the supernatural element. The novel’s plot is resolved by divine intervention, therefore the story is weakened for the reader because the game is rigged. In any contest between God and the Devil, the outcome is foregone.
Orwell, who famously said, “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear,” was not concerned about Lewis’ beliefs, nor about his voicing them. His objection was literary, and perhaps practical: “The whole drama of the struggle against evil lies in the fact that one does not have supernatural aid.”
I appreciate your thoughts on this, Toni. Points taken.
The reason the book came to mind, as I wrote that quick summary, is Lewis’ dead-on capture of the hierarchical structure of the world-shaping conspiracy. The circles within circles. Yes, it is a work of fiction (and Lewis was not all that good at fiction, brilliant as his nonfiction writings were), but he captures that dynamic perfectly. An unwitting, very able man is drawn deeper and deeper into a structure that on the surface level is a “think tank.” Just as with Masonry, one must be vetted to be allowed to proceed to the next level–and there are degrees far beyond the 33rd, which no one except those finally allowed in even know about.
A review written in 2000 of “That Hideous Strength”….
http://www.firstthings.com/article/2000/03/c-s-lewisthat-hideous-strength
Excerpt:
“My guess is that those of us who love the book see it less as a fantasy and more as a realistic description of what eventually happens when people make technology their lord instead of putting their faith and love to the service of the true Creator.”
As Mark Twain famously said “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t”.
None of us alive today will ever know for sure.
Some here may already know, if not I have good news. Maurice Strong is now pushing daisies in “Agenda 21” heaven, aka “The 2030 Agenda” heaven.
“Agenda 21” was getting to be a name of ill repute, so UN back in September decided to spice it up and call it “The 2030 Agenda” hoping we’ll all forget about the former.
Thanks for the link, Anne. The book certainly has its fans, I mean the kind that read it more than once.
Lewis was prescient in the technological world he presents. And he arrays heroic figures from Roman and Arthurian mythologies alongside angels, thus consolidating British Christian intellectual history against the forces of evil. Pretty impressive.
Wow. And to think Johnson (a hero of mine) wrote that 15 years ago! Thanks, Anne! Both Lewis and he understand exactly the direction the world is headed in.
For those who are interested, a very fine book by Lewis (nonfiction) on this subject (sort of) is The Abolition of Man. Lewis, sadly, died young (on the same day as John Kennedy, so no one noticed). He certainly saw our day very clearly.
Lewis is my favorite. He has “eyes to see”. He has a gift for explaining deep mysteries in simple ways. The simplicity of his writing causes some to miss the complexity of the thought behind it.
The most important things are often difficult to relate. He has the gift, but one has to have some degree of understanding to benefit from it.
This is like the Huns flinging the plague victims over the walls.
We’ve progressed. Now we have “white” huns. Did you know that only white people can be prejudiced?
Quisling was ahead of his time.
Politically weaponized migration is by no means a new strategy historically or limited to the West. China, for example, has always used migration of Chinese to different geo-race homelands to integrate the country. 90% of China is considered the Han race, but the people who live in Shanghai, Guanzhou, or Beijing all have different physical characteristic, such as height, build, facial features, etc.
They have been integrated over the last 4 or 5 thousand years partially by political migration. This has occurred in Inner Mongolia and is now occurring in west China to integrate the Uigers. this integration strategy is a contrary strategy to the US European genocide of American Indians.
In the case of the Muslim migrants currently, this is part of the Western Divide and Ruin strategy, to create chaos to divide people and groupings of people from each other, and create chaos, so they can be more easily ruled by the capitalist and banking oligarchy. the corporation owners always want immigration of workers to keep wages down and enslave native workers as much as possible, while the working class resists it.
In this case the US oligarchy, assisted by the EU oligarchy, is striving to diminish the power of the European countries to impose a bankster EU domination, allied with the US oligarchy. the traditional racism of the White West is used, as it so often is historically, to divide the people from each other to allow the oligarchy to rule.
the US ‘go west, young man,’ was the US-American population strategy to Settle the Frontier, i.e. to steal the homes and homelands of American Indians.
This Obama’s Payback to America. The Vote is Today.
“Congress to Consider Easing Passage into U.S. for Immigrants
Congressional source: ‘The amendment is intended to be a response to Trump’s statement’ about Muslims
Congressional critics of the legislation warn that the amendment would facilitate an unprecedented right to immigration that has never existed under U.S. law.
The legislation, which is being offered by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.) Democrat as an amendment to a larger bill governing nuclear safety, would prohibit the U.S. government from barring any individual from entering the country based on their religion.
The legislation is a direct amendment to current U.S. laws already on the books.
“The amendment is intended to be a response to Trump’s statement and thus the category of immigration at the heart of it is clearly immigration from the Muslim world,” said a congressional source apprised of the legislation.”
