    Takeover

    7 Comments by Braid Anderson Published on 25th January 2018 08:36 AM
    FYI a thought provoking article by Daniel Greenfield who is a New York
    writer focusing on radical Islap. He is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Centre.

    Forget the Syrian Civil War for a moment. Even without the Sunnis and
    Shiites competing to give each other machete haircuts every sunny morning,
    there would still be a permanent Moothin refugee crisis.

    The vast majority of civil wars over the last ten years have taken place in
    Moothin countries. Moothin countries are also some of the poorest in the
    world. And Moothin countries also have high birth rates.

    Combine violence and poverty with a population boom and you get a permanent
    migration crisis.

    No matter what happens in Syria or Libya next year, that permanent migration
    crisis isn't going away.

    The Moothin world is expanding unsustainably. In the Middle East and Asia,
    Moothins tend to underperform their non-Moothin neighbors both educationally
    and economically. Oil is the only asset that gave Moothins any advantage and
    in the age of fracking, its value is a lot shakier than it used to be.

    The Moothin world had lost its old role as the intermediary between Asia and
    the West. And it has no economic function in the new world except to
    blackmail it by spreading violence and instability.

    Moothin countries with lower literacy rates, especially for women, are never
    going to be economic winners at any trade that doesn't come gushing out of
    the ground. Nor will unstable dictatorships ever be able to provide social
    mobility or access to the good life. At best they'll hand out subsidies for
    bread.

    The Moothin world has no prospects for getting any better. The Arab Spring
    was a Western delusion.

    Growing populations divided along tribal and religious lines are competing
    for a limited amount of land, power and wealth. Countries without a future
    are set to double in size.

    There are only two solutions; war or migration.

    Either you fight and take what you want at home. Or you go abroad and take
    what you want there.

    Let's assume that the Iraq War had never happened. How would a religiously
    and ethnically divided Iraq have managed its growth from 13 million in the
    eighties to 30 million around the Iraq War to 76 million in 2050?

    The answer is a bloody civil war followed by genocide, ethnic cleansing and
    migration.

    What's happening now would have happened anyway. It was already happening
    under Saddam Hussein.

    Baghdad has one of the highest population densities in the world. And it has
    no future. The same is true across the region. The only real economic plan
    anyone here has is to get money from the West.

    Plan A for getting money out of the West is creating a crisis that will
    force it to intervene. That can mean anything from starting a war to aiding
    terrorists that threaten the West. Moothin countries keep shooting themselves
    in the foot so that Westerners will rush over to kiss the booboo and make it
    better.

    Plan B is to move to Europe.

    What's This?
    And Plan B is a great plan. It's the only real economic plan that works. At
    least until the West runs out of native and naïve Westerners who foot the
    bill for all the migrants, refugees and outright settlers.

    For thousands of dollars, a Middle Eastern Moothin can pay to be smuggled
    into Europe. It's a small investment with a big payoff. Even the lowest tier
    welfare benefits in Sweden are higher than the average salary in a typical
    Moothin migrant nation. And Moothin migrants are extremely attuned to the
    payoffs. It's why they clamor to go to Germany or Sweden, not Greece or
    Slovakia. And it's why they insist on big cities with an existing Moothin
    social welfare infrastructure, not some rural village.

    A Moothin migrant is an investment for an entire extended family. Once the
    young men get their papers, family reunification begins. That doesn't just
    mean every extended family member showing up and demanding their benefits.
    It also means that the family members will be selling access to Europe to
    anyone who can afford it. Don't hike or raft your way to Europe. Mohammed or
    Ahmed will claim that you're a family member. Or temporarily marry you so
    you can bring your whole extended family along.

    Mohammed gets paid. So does Mo's extended family which brokers these
    transactions. Human trafficking doesn't just involve rafts. It's about
    having the right family connections.

    And all that is just the tip of a very big business iceberg.

    Where do Moothin migrants come up with a smuggling fee that amounts to
    several years of salary for an average worker? Some come from wealthy
    families. Others are sponsored by crime networks and family groups that are
    out to move everything from drugs to weapons to large numbers of people into
    Europe.

    Large loans will be repaid as the new migrants begin sending their new
    welfare benefits back home. Many will be officially unemployed even while
    unofficially making money through everything from slave labor to organized
    crime. European authorities will blame their failure to participate in the
    job market on racism rather than acknowledging that they exist within the
    confines of an alternate economy.

    It's not only individuals or families who can pursue Plan B. Turkey wants to
    join the European Union. It's one solution for an Islapist populist economy
    built on piles of debt. The EU has a choice between dealing with the stream
    of migrants from Turkey moving to Europe. Or all of Turkey moving into
    Europe.

    The West didn't create this problem. Its interventions, however misguided,
    attempted to manage it.

    Islapic violence is not a response to Western colonialism. Not only does it
    predate it, but as many foreign policy experts are so fond of pointing out,
    its greatest number of casualties are Moothins. The West did not create
    Moothin dysfunction. And it is not responsible for it. Instead the
    dysfunction of the Moothin world keeps dragging the West in. Every Western
    attempt to ameliorate it, from humanitarian aid to peacekeeping operations,
    only opens up the West to take the blame for Islapic dysfunction.

    The permanent refugee crisis is a structural problem caused by the
    conditions of the Moothin world.

    The West can't solve the crisis at its source. Only Moothins can do that. And
    there are no easy answers. But the West can and should avoid being dragged
    down into the black hole of Moothin dysfunction.

    Even Germany's Merkel learned that the number of refugees is not a finite
    quantity that can be relieved with a charitable gesture. It's the same
    escalating number of people that will show up if you start throwing bags of
    money out of an open window. And it's a number that no country can absorb.

    Moothin civil wars will continue even if the West never intervenes in them
    because their part of the world is fundamentally unstable. These conflicts
    will lead to the displacement of millions of people. But even without
    violence, economic opportunism alone will drive millions to the West. And
    those millions carry with them the dysfunction of their culture that will
    make them a burden and a threat.

    If Moothins can't reconcile their conflicts at home, what makes us think that
    they will reconcile them in Europe? Instead of resolving their problems
    through migration, they only export them to new shores. The same outbursts
    of Islapic violence, xenophobia, economic malaise and unsustainable growth
    follow them across seas and oceans, across continents and countries.
    Distance is no answer. Travel is no cure.

    Solving Syria will solve nothing. The Moothin world is full of fault lines.
    It's growing and it's running out of room to grow. We can't save Moothins
    from themselves. We can only save ourselves from their violence.

    The permanent Moothin refugee crisis will never stop being our crisis unless
    we close the door.

    Hi Doc, I've been busy dining on chicken intestines and choko greens, by candlelight. On Tuesday evening I got some watercress out of the drain, chopped it up and sprinkled with soy sauce. Halfway through eating I crunched on a snail. Hungry or not, that rather put me off. I'm on air now until tomorrow late morning, courtesy of a free Digicel promotion.

    well braid i read your missive with interest but what i read is what has happened in the world since cain and able .......nothing changes.....i see similarities in a some of your statements to your own situation .......you do as you do or you change course ......you have an option not to eat snails from a drain .....iether stay and eat snails or return to the land of your birth ....perhaps before we close our doors to all immigrants ...and even those born here wont be allowed in ......that may sound impossible but if the immigration continues what other chance have we in our country to survive under the million upon million of others wishing to wash up on our shores cappy

    Cappy, while serving in the army I almost died from double broncho pneumonia. For the next few years my bouts of chronic bronchitis increased. The family doctor told me if I didn't go and live in a warm climate I would die soon. I've spent most of my life since then in the tropics or sub tropics. So you see,I don't quite have the choice you suggest. I can stay here and die when(?), or return to UK and die quickly.

    hi braid
    I have read your article with intrest, sadly I have learned nothing new,africa and the middle east cannot sustain the present level of population and new births, yet the west gives billions of dollars and pounds to support this status,when we should be curtailing their propagation, and the left wing liberals plead for more to be allowed to settle here, therefore allowing the re-birth of more to over populate the earth. but if like me you agree with the articles content, then why do we do we keep giving to their constant over population and ultimately our demise.
