Useless, useless, useless - Germans have "Dachau and such" ready !!!!

Blowing hot air = UK Prime Minister David Cameron spoke of a comprehensive approach; Viktor Orban, the normally fiery Hungarian leader told me everyone had to co-operate and Angela Merkel insisted, "What we cannot say is Europe cannot deal with this. I say it again and again, we WILL do this!"

EU leaders do actually agree on a number of key issues:

 

 

• Cracking down on people smuggling rings
• Getting asylum claims processed faster, so failed claimants can be deported more rapidly
• The need to secure Europe's external borders
• Boosting aid to the sprawling, squalid refugee camps around Syria, so fewer people feel tempted to come to Europe
• Stepping up attempts to try to end the war in Syria

But common resolve is one thing. Effective, immediate action is quite another. And some of the leaders' goals are more realistic than others. At a press conference after the summit, the German chancellor spoke of the need to talk to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad as part of a new European push for peace in his country. The conflict has now reached Europe, and Germany in particular. It is the European country of choice for Syrian refugees. In the past, Germany has joined other Western leaders in calling for President Assad to step aside. So these talks would be delicate and controversial, they will not happen overnight and their chances of success are limited, to say the least. Then there's the question of building what is often dubbed Fortress Europe - or what Donald Tusk described last night as "closing Europe's doors and windows".

Europe’s refugees did not appear out of thin air. They appeared from Turkey’s refugee camps, where admittedly, Turkish authorities are assisting migrants out of the country, onward to Europe. The crisis is a creation of NATO, by NATO, and for the purpose of justifying NATO’s next step in its faltering war against Syria.  Some reports even indicate that the refugees are receiving direct assistance from the Turkish government itself. The International New York Times’ Greek Kathimerini paper, in an article titled, “Refugee flow linked to Turkish policy shift,” claims (emphasis added):  A sharp increase in the influx of migrants and refugees, mostly from Syria, into Greece is due in part to a shift in Turkey’s geopolitical tactics, according to diplomatic sources. These officials link the wave of migrants into the eastern Aegean to political pressures in neighboring Turkey, which is bracing for snap elections in November, and to a recent decision by Ankara to join the US in bombing Islamic State targets in Syria. The analyses of several officials indicate that the influx from neighboring Turkey is taking place as Turkish officials look the other way or actively promote the exodus.

Catastrophes that are meant to look “sudden” and “unexpected” as well as “unstoppable” but are in fact, allowed to unfold within an operational theater completely controlled by the US and NATO constitutes instead a conspiracy – pitting desperate and/or exploited refugees intentionally sent out of Turkey and into Europe, against a manipulated, fearful, and ill-informed Western public.

Also brought into sharp focus, are the string of staged attacks allowed to unfold across Europe – allegedly the work of “ISIS.” In every case without exception, the perpetrators had been well-known to Western intelligence agencies, including the shooters involved in the Paris “Charlie Hebo massacre.” In that incident, all members involved were tracked by French security agencies for nearly 10 years. At least one member was even imprisoned, had traveled afterward to collude with Al Qaeda abroad, and returned to Europe, all while under surveillance. “Coincidentally,” for the 6 months needed to plan and carry out their final act, French security agencies stopped monitoring the group, claiming a lack of resources to do so.

German transport minister Alexander Dobrindt has announced that Volkswagen's scheme for evading exhaust emissions tests in the United States extends to cars in Europe. We have been informed that also in Europe, vehicles with 1.6 and 2.0 litre diesel engines are affected by the manipulations that are being talked about," Dobrindt told reporters, adding it was unclear how many vehicles in Europe were affected.   "It is clear that the Federal Office for Motor Traffic will not exclusively concentrate on the VW models in question but that it will also carry out random tests on vehicles made by other carmakers," he said, according to Reuters. ... In the Grand Scheme who stands to gain on this little 'US Discovery', apart from lawyers, obviously? And they've all known that the figures were fixed for a long time, but why release this now?  Clearly the Brussels Troika will by imposing heavy fines. Then non German car manufacturers. A few private owners perhaps in class actions. Then big bad Uncle Sam, that's who, and will benefit most of all.  The US will benefit by fining German corporate importers, it will benefit by selling more home produced cars whatever they run on. The world's policeman will also benefit by exerting more force over the EU which they are so desperate to excert more and more control over anyway .. coincidence? Clearly not.  The CIA/FBI and other 'Govt Agencies' of the US seem to want to extend their power, control and hegemony further and further away from home soil these days whether that be illegal wars, Middle East sovereign confiscations and puppet Govts put in place, World Athletics 'drugs cheats', Fifa, Banks etc etc.  Then of course there is the bogus 'Climate Change' hoax they are relentlessly pushing.  It all fits into place if people care to join the dots.

We should test all cars....

We should test all cars. Given that VW has been doing this for such a long time, that the car companies all monitor each other very closely, and that the performance of these cars is so close across producers, I can't believe that this is limited to just BWM and VW.  The Germans and Austrians stuck chemicals in their wine, therefore why not frig their car software as well?... Katastrophe for German car companies - probably not just VW.  And likely serious damage to the whole German economy, which is based to a remarkable extent on their car industry.  And let's hope, Katastrophe to the current ruling parties in Germany, who are also responsible for the massive influx of illegal immigrants into that country. These people are not "refugees", by international and EU law, they are immigrants. Some of them may achieve asylum status and become refugees but likely many or most will be declared illegal immigrants and will have to be deported....This comes hard on the heels of the Austro-German wine scandal which occurred only thirty years ago - the mere blink of an eye in reputational terms - in which German and Austrian wine producers and bottlers were caught red-handed and subsequently found guilty of adulterating their wines with toxic di-ethylene glycol (anti freeze to you and me) in order to improve the quality. (I kid you not.)  In what then blew up into a global scandal, several prison sentences were awarded in both Germany and Austria, and at least one suicide followed.  Which gives rise to two thoughts on the subject.  Firstly, how many prison sentences can we expect in this day and age for the VW deception, and secondly, why do Germans still find it so hard to learn lessons from their past?

A 'united Europe"

Germany has in fact "extensive" experience with "gasing people" ...

Audi research chief Ulrich Hackenberg, Porsche research chief Wolfgang Hatz, and VW US chief executive Michael Horn are to be dismissed by the VW board tomorrow, ITV is reporting a senior source saying.  VW has declined to comment.  Michael Horn was the VW executive who said earlier this week that the company had "totally screwed up". German newspaper Bild earlier reported that Mr Hackenberg and Mr Hatz would be dismissed by the board. The turmoil at VW could be an even bigger danger to Germany than the chaos in Greece, Reuters reports.  "All of a sudden, Volkswagen has become a bigger downside risk for the German economy than the Greek debt crisis," ING chief economist Carsten Brzeski told Reuters. "If Volkswagen's sales were to plunge in North America in the coming months, this would not only have an impact on the company, but on the German economy as a whole.”  Analysts warned that Germany's dependency on the automobile sector could become a threat to an economy that's already seeing a slowdown in GDP growth. "Should automobile sales go down, this could also hit suppliers and with them the whole economy," industry expert Martin Gornig from the Berlin-based DIW think tank told Reuters. In 2014, roughly 775,000 people worked in the German automobile sector. This is nearly 2pc of the whole workforce.  In addition, automobiles and car parts are Germany's most successful export - the sector sold goods worth more than €200bn to customers abroad in 2014, accounting for nearly a fifth of total German exports. "That's why this scandal is not a trifle. The German economy has been hit at its core," said Michael Huether, head of Germany's IW economic institute...There are questions over whether the testing authorities commissioned by motor manufacturers are truly independent. Do the results found in test conditions truly reflect real life situations on the road?"...Predictably, here's the start of how we're all getting f*cked over at some point. The answer is: no, the tests are designed to be a laboratory benchmark that allow comparative performance to be judged. They are not and were never intended to act as a reliable guide to what comes out of the tailpipe of an arbitrarily chosen car under any conditions. The manufacturers know this, and tellingly, so do the governments involved, because that is how the testing systems were originally specified. Certainly VW have done something extremely wrong here because they explicitly cheated the test, but other manufacturers, assuming they only designed to the test as opposed to cheating it, have done nothing wrong.

The main narratives undulating media headlines dismiss both the West’s role in devastating the MENA region, as well as acknowledging the fact that the “refugee crisis” is emanating primarily from within NATO’s borders, not from beyond them. The refugees are pawns, intentionally moved across the game board to illicit a predictable reaction from their hopelessly unskilled opponents – the public. While the social engineers are engaged in a game of three-dimensional chess, the Western public appears to be infantilely eating their checkers.  Considering this unfortunate reality, whatever justifications the West is able to predicate upon the refugee crisis will have to be confronted again by Syria and its allies alone – with the Western public hopelessly defenseless against a conspiracy they have been made accomplices of.  Social Engineering vs. the Inevitable Rot of Empire

A refugee crisis was inevitable, regardless of the timing and magnitude of any given deluge that may have been created or manipulated by the West. Destroying the planet in pursuit of empire, pillaging nations and hauling away the wealth of the world, inevitably leads to endless streams of victims following their stolen wealth back to the thieves’ den. As an empire expands and the list of its victims expands with it, the number of those an empire is able to fully assimilate versus those who will inevitable overwhelm it eventually tips the balance against the empire’s favor.

Such was the fate of the Roman Empire, which over the course of its decline, had its institutions overwhelmed by peoples it had conquered faster than it could assimilate them.

For the West, it has chosen confrontation rather than cooperation. It has closed economic ties with Russia, alienated China, and wages ceaseless war across the MENA region and Central Asia. It pursues a now exposed campaign of divide and conquer across Southeast Asia augmented with terrorism and political subversion all while neglecting every virtue that ever made it a respected global power to begin with. How much of the most recent refugee crisis is social engineering versus simply the inevitable rot of empire is difficult to tell – though the fact that social engineers would be tempted to use a vast number of refugees created by their own foreign policy indicates that their ploy in and of itself is indicative of immense, irreversible geopolitical rot.
