‘Access to Europe is too easy,’ Tusk said. (Photo: Consillium)
The current influx of migrants is “too big not to stop them,” European Council president Donald Tusk has said. He proposed that irregular migrants are detained for up to 18 months to check their identity.
In an interview with six European newspapers, Tusk said there is “no majority” in Europe for plans to relocate asylum seekers and that the priority should be the protection of Schengen’s external borders.
The scheme to relocate 160,000 refugees from Italy and Greece has been pushed by Tusk’s EU Commission counterpart, Jean-Claude Juncker, and by Germany’s Angela Merkel. So far, just a few dozen people have been relocated.
“I am convinced there is no majority in the EU for such a system,” Tusk said, adding that “this time, central Europe is not the only problem.”
“Let’s avoid hypocrisy: it is not a question of international solidarity anymore, but a problem of European capacities. Europeans would be less reluctant if the EU’s external border was really under control,” he said.
“Today access to Europe is, simply speaking, too easy,” he added.
Tusk, who chairs the summits of EU leaders, asked them to “change [their] mindset” and covertly took on Merkel.
“Some [leaders] say the wave of migrants is too big to stop them. That is dangerous,” he said.
“This wave of migrants is too big not to stop them,” he said, adding that nobody is ready “to absorb these high numbers, Germany included.”
Effective controls
He noted that debate on migration has slipped out of the hands of “politicians or intellectuals or commentators” and has gone “really public because the fear and uncertainty is so genuine.”
He also reiterated that the key is border control.
“Every country must respect and apply the Schengen Borders Code, including the rule that asylum requests be filed in the country of arrival, for example Greece, and not somewhere else,” Tusk said.
“It is often said that we must be open to Syrian refugees. But these are only 30 percent of the inflow. Seventy percent are economic migrants. Also for this reason we need more effective controls,” Tusk noted.
Controls are not only a matter of stemming the flow, but also a question of security, he said, floating the idea that the EU should be ready to detain illegal migrants as long as it can to check them.
“If you want to screen migrants and refugees, you need more time than only one minute to fingerprint,” he noted, adding that international and European law allow up to 18 months “for the screening we need.”
Will Donald Tusk’s voice be heeded though, I wonder?
Fourteen people were killed and at least 17 wounded
“Three lions made us proud. They are still alive,” one ISIS adherent tweeted in Arabic after the shootings at Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino. “California streets are full with soldiers with heavy weapons. The Unites States is burning #America_Burning #Takbir”
Translation:
“Three lions made us proud. They are still alive,” tweeted after the shootings in San Bernardino
After the Paris attacks, confirmed ISIS accounts praised “Lions” as well.
Around 11 a.m. on Wednesday, two assailants opened fire in San Bernardino at a party in the Inland Regional Center, police said.
Fourteen people were killed and 21 wounded. The names of all those injured have not yet been released, but The Times is collecting their names and stories.
After a Wednesday afternoon car chase, the two armed suspects were killed by police: Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik.
The attackers’ motive is unknown. President Obama, in a statement from the Oval Office Thursday morning, said the shooting was possibly related to terrorism, but might also be workplace related.
Police said there was “some degree of planning.” The suspects were heavily armed, wearing tactical attire, and had an arsenal of ammunition and pipe bombs in their Redlands home.
A silver lining to terrorism is that it moves us in the direction of having to classify people - e.g., non-White middle-easterners, as a whole - as we are less able to distinguish “the good ones from the bad ones.” That is a necessary step in racial, systemic maintenance.
Today’s shadow cabinet agreed to back Jeremy Corbyn’s recommendation of a free vote on the government’s proposal to authorise UK bombing in Syria.
The shadow cabinet decided to support the call for David Cameron to step back from the rush to war and hold a full two day [public] debate in the House of Commons on such a crucial national decision.
Shadow Cabinet members agreed to call David Cameron to account on the unanswered questions raised by his case for bombing: including how it would accelerate a negotiated settlement of the Syrian civil war; what ground troops would take territory evacuated by ISIS; military co-ordination and strategy; the refugee crisis and the imperative to cut-off of supplies to ISIS.
It’s almost as though the Labour party is staffed by actual retards.

More than 14,000 foreign nationals told to leave Sweden have instead gone underground, with police saying there is little they can do to enforce deportation orders.
A total of 21,748 people had been given deportation orders by the Migration Agency at the end of October – the largest number in history, the Aftonbladet tabloid reported on Friday.
Of those, 14,140 are registered by police as ‘departed’ or ‘wanted’. Some are believed to still be at unknown locations in Sweden while others are thought to have left the country.
“We simply don’t know where they are,” Patrik Engström, head of the national border police, told the newspaper.
The rest of the individuals either remain in refugee centres, are in custody, or are living in separate accommodation which they have arranged themselves, awaiting deportation.
The government has previously announced it wants to step up efforts to ensure people without legal right to stay in Sweden exit the country. But police say most of its resources are currently devoted to carrying out ID checks after Sweden stepped up border controls.
“It’s a huge task and it is completely dependent on the police being allocated resources,” said Engström.
The Local reported in May that an increasing proportion of refugees due to be deported from Sweden were instead disappearing.
Last year the proportion of those leaving the country voluntarily after an expulsion order was 41 percent. Some of the remaining numbers were forcibly deported, but in most cases the refugees went underground.
The Migration Agency said at the time that the vast majority of the “disappeared” were Dublin Regulation cases.
Under the Dublin Regulation, refugees should be deported back to the first EU country they entered, often Italy or Greece, which have the worst welfare provision. But if refugees can delay their re-applications by 18 months, they may be able to stay in Sweden, hence the motivation to go underground.
It is often difficult to deport refugees directly to their home countries, which in many cases refuse to accept them.
There’s a lesson to be learned here, but I wonder if anyone will be learning it? Did anyone really entertain the fantasy that you could invite thousands of illegal migrants to flood into your country out of some misguided notion of hospitality, and that you could then change your mind and say, “Okay, please go away now”, and that the migrants would be all like, “Oh, okay, we are voluntarily self-deporting now”.
Also, would anyone like to take bets as to how many of those 14,000 people might actually be terrorists?

* No peace sign executed by Kumiko
It is not time for peace, but for the comprehensive conceptualization of non-European peoples as other, their place overwhelmingly is not among Europeans, and their imposition upon European EGI an act of war that calls for war in response.
Further, this calls for the undoing of “anti-racism”, reversing it, to a legitimization of the comprehensive social classification of peoples, including full comprehension of non-Europeans, including their outliers (their “nice exceptions” to their pejorative patterns) as distinct others to be discriminated against in accordance of European interests.
Important and true though that statement is, it is necessary to capture the point in a pithy caption, that this is not a time for peace nor to be concerned for “the nice ones”, if “the nice ones” refuse our terms and/or will not go back to their native countries, from amidst our citizenship. We would more assuredly die through differential birthrates and interbreeding with “the nice ones” than we would through acts of terrorism.
So, let there be a contest to capture the nuance of our concerns: supply a caption for the image, something like “No peace for non-European imposition”... or “No peace for non-European invaders”, etc.
* Note: Kumiko and I had the same reaction (revulsion) to the peace sign in this context. When I saw it I was eager to make a statement to the effect of, no! it is not the time for that and this does not represent our stance. I wanted to put up the image with the typical street-sign type of cross-out (circle with one diagonal line through the center - in this case, over the peace sign). I discussed it with Kumiko and she was thinking something quite similar, but only much more emphatic - she was considering using an X scribbled with enraged thoroughness through the peace sign… but it was so thorough that you could barely see that there was a peace sign there. Still, I liked her idea of the hand written zeal of the strike through the peace sign, and suggested just one diagonal strike so that what was being crossed-out could still be seen; she agreed and we both had a try to see which of our renderings looked best. Interestingly, we both chose the same color, but hers looked better and there it is.
Despite our pugnacious enthusiasm, Ryan raises a hand of restraint, itemizing “peace as war” campaigns that had backfired. I wonder if that is not all the more reason to be explicit about who our enemies are. Kumiko is going to have some very interesting things to say about that in days to come in a discussion of the neo-cons.
And she might add her own evergreen post about the anti-peace sign.
In the meantime, I am importing the first few comments by way of responding to them in a first comment, and Kumiko’s first comment will be added here (though I will also leave the comments under the Paris attack thread).
1. Yes. When I saw all these people holding up these idiotic signs calling for peace, the first thing I wanted was to cross it out because now is not the time for some mawkish calls for ‘peace’. So that logo is one that will be used on Majorityrights so that we can express our fundamental disagreement with their idea of ‘peace’.
Yes Ryan, six attacks, one hundred dead at one site alone. State of emergency declared. Borders closed. Political elites in shock. An FN government and mass repatriation is the only option for security.
Amid the “unprecedented terrorist attacks” that have resulted in dozens of deaths, French President Francois Hollande has declared a state of emergency and announced that France will close its borders.
“There is much to fear, but we must face these fears as a nation that knows how to muster its forces and will confront the terrorists,” the president said.
In the wake of the “unprecedented terrorist attacks,” Hollande has ordered the French military to deploy reinforcements in the capital.

Five of Paris’ metro lines have been shut down in the wake of attacks, as well as the Orly Airport where all flights have been suspended. All schools and universities in Paris will also be closed.

[...] Several nearby restaurants were also targeted, with reports of militants opening fire on Cambodian and Japanese restaurants, leaving many dead in a busy nightlife district.
In the north of the city, three more suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the Stade de France national stadium where France were playing Germany in an international football match, security sources said.
Supporters spill onto the pitch after authorities kept them inside Stade de France for their own safety.
President Francois Hollande was attending the match and had to be hastily evacuated.
An eighth attacker blew himself up in Boulevard Voltaire near the concert venue, as the streets of the capital were filled with the sound of police sirens and convoys of ambulances shipping the injured to hospital.

Hostages killed ‘one-by-one’ at Bataclan theatre.
Terrorists slaughtered ‘everyone one by one’ at a theatre in Paris in just one of a series of horrifying attacks across the capital that have killed up to 150 people.
An injured hostage held captive during a rock concert at the Bataclan theatre, was able to update his status on social media where he said: ‘There are survivors inside. They are cutting down all the world. One by one.’
Benjamin Cazenoves added in another post: ‘Alive. Just cuts… Carnage… Dead bodies everywhere.’
Three terrorists inside theatre later detonated their suicide belts when French authorities raided building to free hostages.
The publishing of this article was prompted by comments from Ryan and Guessedworker.
While British and German intelligence agencies are worrying about ISIS and Al Qaeda coming over with the illegal immigrants, the Belgian government is frightened of the Belgians taking a stand against the tsunamigration.
The areas surrounding all illegal immigrant camps in Belgium have now been elevated from level 1 “no threat” to level 2 “average”.
Police will now be required to patrol these areas every few hours, despite Belgian intelligence agencies saying they have not detected any plans to attack illegal immigrant camps.
The Socialist mayor of Vilvoorde, thinks the threat level should be elevated even higher, because in his area apparently there are “houses with swastikas and far-right slogans.”
If you know their game-plan, it’s no surprise that the Belgian government considers their own people more of a threat than Islamists masquerading as illegal immigrants.
Like most European governments, the Belgian government wants their country to be a “diverse melting pot” where no group is the majority. And by carrying out this agenda – by deliberately trying to make White people a minority – they are committing an act of White Genocide.
This is key to understanding the nature of this crisis, and it is an issue that I have discussed here at Majorityrights before. There is a severe problem, one in which the governments of some countries are doing the precise opposite of what their own security services are telling them to do. There is a deepening division between the defence and security communities on one hand, and the governments in Europe on the other hand.
It’s apparently reached the point where in order to set the stage for accomplishing anything productive, it may have been that certain people in the intelligence services have had almost no choice but to keep leaking documents to the media—it is difficult to imagine any other reason for why there are about two stories per week leaking out—so that the media can keep applying pressure to the European governments by reporting on them, since that is fuelling the process of turning voter sentiments against the enormous dereliction of those governments.
Many of the present governments are really not fit to be in office because they are failing at the most basic of basic tasks. The task of defending the borders from illegal crossings, and the task of protecting people as they go about their daily business in the post-9/11, post-Madrid, post-7/7, post-Rotherham world. In actuality, these are ongoing security concerns. Security comes first, because without security you have nothing else. Any politicians who don’t understand this fact simply should not have been elected to office in the first place.
There is a convention in European politics where security, intelligence, and military figures refrain from directly and openly challenging the government. This is because it is usually seen as inappropriate by the European public. However, politicians who no longer inhabit reality should not be allowed to jeopardise the future of Europe, and it’s necessary to get the European peoples to show—perhaps through more organised street demonstrations like the ones going on in Germany—that the people largely believe the same.
The time is long overdue for the European peoples to come out of the liberal-humanitarian wardrobe of politeness and start supporting policy preferences for the real world, rather than policy preferences for Narnia. Some reality-based governments need to take hold in Europe, rather than governments adhering to the policy preferences of Barbara Lerner Spectre.
Once the trend that is reflected in those graphs is exhibited openly and clearly through demonstrations by people on the street, it may become the case that rather than seeing a trickle of anonymously- and semi-anonymously-sourced news stories in the media, the European people might get to see senior figures challenging governments openly and directly. At that stage, the push-back against the migration onslaught might begin to gather the new energy that it absolutely needs.

As a quick illustration of just how interesting things have become, I’d like to demonstrate something about just how porous the borders are, and how little is known about those who are entering Europe now.
Migrants are also flowing from Syria and Iraq, along multiple routes that lead into Europe. Some of those people are fleeing persecution at the hands of ISIL because the leaders of the North Atlantic have not yet shown the political courage to commit themselves to ground war in Mesopotamia to undo the damage that has been done by the rise of ISIL.
At the centre of all of this, is now ISIL, which intends to graduate into being able to carry out strikes inside Europe by sending its operatives to form terrorist cells, which would be included among the economic migrants and asylum seekers, and who would be able to acquire their weapons through weapons smuggling networks which have existed in Central Asia and the Balkans since at least the late 1980s and are still intact.
[...]
We are accumulating more and more evidence of people who fought in the Middle East entering Europe. The difficulty of distinguishing between those who have an intent to carry out attacks and those who do not, increases as their numbers increase. That phenomenon looks something like this:
