Denmark helps Caliphate advance with Left turn in yesterday’s elections (Europe part 2)

See Europe Part I here.

One of the few countries whose government did ‘get it’ in Europe about the perils of multiculturalism and rapid expansion of a Muslim immigrant population has been swept from office.

From The Economist:

A DECADE in the political wilderness for Denmark’s left, and a steady series of election losses for Europe’s left-wing parties, ended yesterday when Helle Thorning-Schmidt led her Social Democrats to a narrow victory over Lars Løkke Rasmussen’s liberal-conservative administration. A jubilant Ms Thorning-Schmidt will take office as Denmark’s first female prime minister.

Opening the “welcoming” gates to preserve its “image” of tolerance?

Once the winners of yesterday’s election have worked out how to share the spoils of victory, they face a daunting in-tray. As well as the keys to his office, Mr Løkke Rasmussen’s is leaving behind Scandinavia’s worst-performing economy, a widening budget deficit and, by dint of the immense influence of the anti-immigrant Danish People’s Party over the last ten years, a tarnished international image of Denmark as a welcoming and tolerant society.

The Christian Science Monitor had a very detailed (but convoluted) article this week about what the results of this Danish election might mean for the European rightwing which would like to slow the flow of immigrants.  The CSM attempts to make the case that if Denmark goes Left (which it did) then that is Europe’s reaction to Breivik’s murderous rampage in Norway earlier this summer.   It is worth reading, but draw your own conclusions.

Update:  Here is a Muslim who says many (?) white Danes are converting to Islam, however, in the US most increases in Muslim population come from immigration or black converts.

Author: Caliphate is coming to Europe soon (Europe Part I)

Readers:  I have a series of posts on Europe today, this is the first.

A former refugee warns Europe (again) that the Islamists do not respect multiculturalism and are on the cusp of victory in Europe.

Cliff May writing about Bat Ye’or’s new book “Europe, Globalization and the Coming Universal Caliphate:”

For more than 30 years, Bat Ye’or, a refugee from Egypt, has been writing about dhimmis — Christians and Jews living under oppression in Muslim lands for over a millennium. Now, she has a new book, “Europe, Globalization and the Coming Universal Caliphate,” that looks at Muslims living in lands that once were Christian but today call themselves multicultural.

She predicts Europe will not remain multicultural for long. She is convinced that Europe, sooner rather than later, will be dominated by Islamic extremists and transformed into “Eurabia” — a term she has popularized but did not coin. It was first used in the mid-1970s by a French publication pressing for common European-Arab policies.

Immigrants can enrich a nation. But there is a difference between immigrants and colonists. The former are eager to learn the ways of their adopted home, to integrate and perhaps assimilate — which does not require relinquishing their heritage or forgetting their roots. Colonists, by contrast, bring their culture with them and live under their own laws. Their loyalties lie elsewhere.

Ye’or contends that a concerted effort is being made not only to ensure that Muslim immigrants in Europe remain squarely in the second category but also that they become the means to transform Europe politically, culturally and religiously. Leading this effort is the Organization of the Islamic Conference, established in 1969 and which, a few months ago, no doubt upon the advice of a highly compensated public relations professional, renamed itself the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

No multiculturalism when Islamists get power:

Ye’or offers this explanation [as to why Europeans don't get it]: Committed to a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-lateral ideology that rejects patriotism and even national identity and cultural pride, afflicted by guilt over their imperial and colonial past – and ignorant about more than a thousand years of Islamic imperialism and colonialism — Europeans have become dhimmis in their own countries: inferiors who accept their status and submit. The OIC, by contrast, rejects multi-culturalism, openly professing the superiority of the Islamic faith, civilization and laws.

Comment worth noting: How do HIV positive immigrants get to stay in the US?

Here is a comment from ‘HoboProjekt’ last night to this 2008 post.

How do they get to stay in the USA when they are HIV positive? In many countries, that is a definite exclusion from staying. It creates a hardship on the nation’s medical system and being that the USA doesn’t have a national health system- per say, that means these people are unlikely to receive proper medical care and thus be a drain when they become very ill or pass on. Not to mention the possibility of spreading this diseases on to other people.

The answer, of course, is that Congress passed a law and the President signed it allowing anyone with HIV to come to the US.   We taxpayers then provide them with their medical care.

We need workers in South Dakota so we’re importing them

I have a bunch of stories I didn’t post when they first appeared, so count this as an oldie-but-goodie from a couple of weeks ago.

Here we have the political and business leaders (note Chamber of Commerce too) in Aberdeen, South Dakota attempting to get peoples’ minds right on the issue of ‘multiculturalism’ that comes with importing a work force from the third world.   Of course my first thought when I read this was what about the huge unemployment rate among American blacks and Native Americans (which abound in South Dakota)—don’t they want jobs?

From the Aberdeen News:

The mayor says—we just make critics feel guilty and suggest bigotry is behind any criticism in order to shut them up!

Refugees and immigrants may be able to help fill upcoming jobs in Aberdeen, and a presentation on Thursday detailed the process of how they get to South Dakota.

Amy Spaulding Zimbelman and Deb Worth, who work at the Lutheran Social Services Refugee and Immigration Center in Sioux Falls, spoke to a gathering at the Public Safety Center, hosted by Absolutely! Aberdeen, the Aberdeen Development Corp. and the Aberdeen Area Chamber of Commerce.

In introducing Spaulding Zimbelman, Mayor Mike Levsen said that, for about the past five years, gatherings such as Thursday’s have been held to discuss minority populations and how people in Aberdeen will handle them.

Participants in those meetings, he said, have been trying to discourage the kind of “blatantly bigoted comments” that were prevalent in Aberdeen as recently as five or 10 years ago and are still said at times.

Levsen’s favorite response when he hears a bigoted remark is to ask, “Why would you say that?” That question, he said, makes the person who uttered the racist remark “defend the indefensible” or “makes them just shut up.”

The article doesn’t tell us how many refugees will be resettled in Aberdeen, but you can bet the other South Dakota cities have hit immigrant overload!

Lutheran Social Services is the only resettlement agency in South Dakota. Every year, the organization resettles 400 to 600 people in Sioux Falls and Huron.

They “must” get a job—that is a joke!

Immigrants are given money to support themselves for either four or eight months. During that time, they learn English and must get a job, Spaulding Zimbelman said. Immigrants even reimburse Lutheran Social Services for their plane fare after they get a job, she said.

“Our programs are meant to equip people to be self-sufficient. They’re not meant to be welfare assistance,” she said.

And, it is so annoying how these contractors twist the truth on the airfare reimbursement.  They didn’t pay the airfare for the refugees—you did!  The US taxpayer pays the airfare and then the contractors act as bill collection agencies for the US government and get to keep a portion of what they extract from refugees (who usually are not employed so don’t have anything to give back!).

Shelbyville propaganda film shown!  To soften up the town folks, that one-sided film from Shelbyville, TN was used to guilt trip anyone who might have some questions. (Golly gee, if some southern town can come to see the light, surely you South Dakotans can!)

Two documentaries were shown at the gathering. One was about life in Burma. The other was about Shelbyville, Tenn., a town that has had an influx of Hispanic and Somali people.

During showings of that film around South Dakota, “We have had people leave because they were frustrated by one viewpoint or another,” Worth said. She encouraged people to stay Thursday morning. No one left.

Let me tell you, a Leftwing Open Borders advocate is not going to walk out of the Shelbyville film, but someone who smells a rat and can see the bias just dripping from the screen might walk out.  So, what the heck is that “frustrated by one viewpoint or another” supposed to mean?

And, what is Levson talking about here?

Near the end of the meeting, Levsen was one of several people who spoke. He said that in documentaries such as the one about Shelbyville, the “truly unfortunate segment” will not speak on camera. It’s very difficult to reach the “5 percent of the incorrigibles who simply will not listen,” Levsen said.

Yes, there were some people who refused to be interviewed for the Shelbyville propaganda film because all they had to do was look into who was making it (smell that rat!) and know that it was not going to give a FAIR portrayal of the situation in a town roiled by the large number of Somalis who arrived there almost overnight supposedly to do work Americans won’t do!

“White plague” spreading in Europe, London is TB capital

A warning this week from the World Health Organization states that Drug-resistant Tuberculosis is reaching “alarming” (epidemic?) levels in Europe.

From Reuters:

LONDON, Sept 14 (Reuters) – Multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis (TB) are spreading at an alarming rate in Europe and will kill thousands unless health authorities halt the pandemic, the World Health Organisation(WHO) said on Wednesday.

Launching a new regional plan to find, diagnose and treat cases of the airborne infectious disease more effectively, the WHO’s European director warned that complacency had allowed a resurgence of TB and failure to tackle it now would mean huge human and economic costs in the future.

“TB is an old disease that never went away, and now it is evolving with a vengeance,” said Zsuzsanna Jakab, the WHO’s Regional Director for Europe.

“The numbers are scary,” Lucica Ditiu, executive secretary of the Stop TB Partnership told a news conference in London. “This is a very dramatic situation.”

Neither the Reuters story or the official release from the WHO mentions the words “immigrant” or “immigration” but this report from Russia Today does.  Calling it the “white plague,” RT says the blame for the spread is immigration from countries with high incidents of TB and poverty (watch the video report too).  Update:  This story from Malta tells us that the UK is at the top of the list in many categories for the number of immigrants it allows to enter the country.

Known as the ‘white plague’ in 19th Century England, tuberculosis is now increasingly a modern-day menace for those living in the UK. Viewed as the TB capital of Western Europe, the illness outbreak in Britain has been connected to both poverty and immigration. But as RT’s Laura Emmet discovered, the infection is now spreading beyond those high risk groups.

Readers should know that refugees are admitted to the US with TB.  Of course the volags and the US State Department are always quick to say it’s “latent” TB and not “active.”   However, we all know that the volags often lose track of refugees three months after resettlement, so who is following refugees around to make sure they finish their course of meds?

Remember a Somali working in a Tyson Foods plant in Emporia, Kansas in 2007 died of TB in the plant, here.  Needless to say, it didn’t make the nightly news!

Hillary: You Libyan rebels are bad boys for discriminating against blacks…

….if you don’t stop it, we will just bring them here as refugees!

The US State Department this week released this rather meek rebuke to their Libyan rebel-freedom-fighting-democracy-seeking-Arab friends.   (See our earlier posts here and here about abuse by the racist rebels of migrant workers.)

The United States is deeply concerned about reports of arbitrary detention and abuse of sub-Saharan African migrants and refugees. We also understand that some Libyans are also being victimized based on the color of their skin. Nobody should be detained or harassed due to the color of their skin or their nationality, and measures must be taken to protect individuals from acts of violence.

We have welcomed the Transitional National Council’s (TNC) assurances of their commitment to safeguard the well-being of individuals throughout Libya and the TNC leadership’s cooperation with those international agencies engaged in identifying and assisting those at risk and/or detained, including the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the International Organization for Migration. We look forward to prompt implementation of these measures.

‘We’ll show you, we will just ship the tens of thousands of African migrant workers to Europe or America‘ (our meatpackers can use them anyway and we will get more campaign contributions for Obama!)—so take that!

The United States is working with its international partners to facilitate safe passage out of Libya for those foreign nationals, including sub-Saharan African migrants, who wish to depart for their own safety.

The next thing you know John Podesta and the Center for American Progress will be calling for an airlift (as they did in 2009 for Iraqis)!

It is maddening, Hillary and Obama’s girls drag us into another conflict in a Muslim country and we get refugees out of it!

Addendum:  Some related links which I don’t have time to post (Libya intervention looks hazy in hindsight, here). And as of yesterday Gaddafi isn’t finished yet in Libya, here.  So, is this Obama’s aircraft carrier moment?

Oh, and here is one more interesting bit of news, the US State Department had previously listed the “rebels” as a terrorist group.

Local communities should decide if they can handle more refugees

That is the gist of an excellent piece by Don Barnett published in The Tennessean yesterday.  I can’t believe, that of all newspapers, The Tennessean would publish anything with this much information about the refugee program.

We’ve written a lot about “welcoming” Nashville and how businesses there looking for cheap labor (hotel workers and meat packers in particular!) and Lefties looking for Democrat voters have pretty much controlled the message coming out of The Tennessean.   The paper has also done “hit pieces” (here is one) on anyone daring to ask why so many Muslims are going to Tennessee and what their agenda might be.  (We have an entire category here on Nashville and you will see what I mean.)

Anyway, here is the whole opinion piece from Barnett (published in its entirety because it will be a handy guide for all of you to keep for future reference and because I fear that the link may not be available for very long at this newspaper).

Barnett:

Refugee resettlement in America has traditionally been the responsibility of sponsors — families who housed the refugees, charitable organizations which provided assistance and employers with jobs.

Until the federal Refugee Act of 1980, refugees were explicitly barred from accessing public welfare. Sponsors had to provide at least a year of lodging and support including medical coverage.

This is not the system we have today.

Today, refugee resettlement is almost entirely the responsibility of the taxpayer — both state and federal; the sponsors have become federal contractors. One of the main tasks of the contractors — misleadingly called Voluntary Agencies or Volags — is to link refugees with social services programs. The contractor/sponsor responsibility ends after just three months in most cases. Needless to say, with such a short period of engagement, assimilation is not on the agenda, even when assimilation is the desire of the refugees themselves.

Thirty days after arrival, refugees are eligible for all forms of public assistance on the same basis as a U.S. citizen.

This has resulted in staggering welfare dependency rates, despite laughable statements about refugee “self-sufficiency” found in official Volag reports.

Sen. Richard Lugar, R.-Ind.*, commissioned a report in 2010 entitled “Abandoned Upon Arrival: Implications for Refugees and Local Communities Burdened by a U.S. Resettlement System That Is Not Working.”

The report concludes that the federal government too often brings refugees to U.S. communities with inadequate resources and little planning who “place demands, sometimes significant, on local schools, police, hospitals and social services. Local governments are often burdened with the weight of addressing the unique assistance refugees require, yet they rarely have an official role in influencing how many refugees are resettled by local voluntary agencies and often are not even informed in advance that new residents will be arriving.”

The report recommends modifications to “Enhance formal consultations with state and local leaders, improve accountability and promote community engagement which improves chances of assimilation.”

Likewise, the National Governors Association (NGA) regularly pleads for more state involvement “in the congressional consultation process through which new refugee admissions levels are determined to ensure that program funding is provided to support the level of refugee admissions.”

On its website, the NGA speaks of “a major federal policy change that shifts fiscal responsibility for meeting the basic needs of refugees and entrants from the federal government to states and localities.”

Further, “governors continue to be concerned about the lack of adequate consultation on the part of the voluntary agencies (Volags) and their local affiliates in the initial placement of refugees and on the part of the federal government in the equitable distribution of refugees.

States have continually urged the federal government to establish a mechanism to ensure appropriate coordination and consultation. However, significant progress has not been made. …”

Tennessee is the first state in the nation to pass a bill which will address this issue. The Refugee Absorption Capacity Act (RACA)* provides common-sense guidelines which promote consultation between Volags and the U.S. State Department on one hand and local communities on the other.

The law also provides a mechanism for localities to request a slowdown or a moratorium in resettlement based on the capacity limits of social service providers, public schools, public housing, public health services and so on. The law is very modest in that a community may merely make a request, not assert a right, to refuse resettlement.

Hopefully, it is the beginning of a process where affected communities are granted a say in the resettlement program.

FY2012 refugee admission goal to be lowered by a piddling 4000…

In FY2011 the goal for the number of refugees to be admitted to the US from the Obama Administration was 80,000 but it looks like they will be way lower than that — in the 50,000s.   I suppose in some vague recognition of our bleak jobs outlook they are going to shoot for 76,000 in FY 2012.

Thanks to reader ‘Wanderer’ for sending us the official document from the President to Congress.  It is only supposed to be the proposed numbers but to my knowledge Congress just rubber stamps the thing!   The pdf is here.  You can find some interesting numbers on page 5.  I look forward to reading the whole document but wanted to get the link out to any of you who are eager to do your own reading.

It looks like the State Department is expecting the family reunification program from countries like Somalia to be reopened (it was closed in 2008 when they found widespread fraud—people were lying about family members, yes, can you believe it!).

Funny, it was only yesterday that we learned that the number of people living in poverty in the US is skyrocketing, but with tens of thousands of refugees admitted to the US each year we are importing more poverty. Go figure!  See the Reuters story here.

Trial opens today in that Minneapolis Somali murder case

We reported the murders back in January 2010, here, a couple of Somali refugee teens shot and killed three other Somalis in a store they were attempting to rob.

There is much hand wringing in the Somali “community” about why this should have happened when the kids had everything going for them in America.

From AP at the Houston Chronicle:

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Osman Jama Elmi was manning the family corner store on a cold January night, chatting with a cousin who stopped to say hello, when two people wearing masks entered.

Within moments, Elmi, his cousin and a customer were dead, shot multiple times and lying in pools of blood.
Opening statements are expected Monday in the trial of Mahdi Hassan Ali, an 18-year-old charged with murder, in a case that rocked the local Somali community, the nation’s largest.

The ins and outs of the case follow, then this which give us a hint of the morals (or lack of morals) in the Somali “community.”  It starts with Somalis being comfortable with lying!

Mahdi Ali’s age has also been an issue leading up to the trial. Prosecutors say both Mahdi Ali and Ahmed Ali were 17 at the time of the killings, but Goetz has argued that Mahdi Ali was only 15 and should not be tried in adult court.

Goetz [attorney] has said Mahdi Ali’s legal birthdate was fabricated to get the boy to the U.S. As the case proceeded to trial, dental X-rays were ordered to try to prove Mahdi Ali’s age. Ultimately, the Supreme Court ruled he would stand trial in adult court.

[.....]

Fahia [to learn more about Saeed Fahia and where his funding comes from, go here---ed] and Mohamed Hassan, another community leader, both said the killings ended the lives of entrepreneurs who contributed to the economy, but it also ruined the lives of the two teens. They want justice, but see the case as a tragedy all around.

“The kids could have been saved, and could have been the future of this state,” Hassan said. “I don’t think we are born evil. I think we are all born innocent and nice, but some way, somehow along the road, something happens.”

Yes, and what could that be?

A day to remember for as long as we live

In addition to whatever else you have planned today to remember that awful day, September 11, 2001, watch this moving powerpoint presentation that Pamela Geller posted some years ago at Atlas Shrugs.  Click here (it takes a few seconds to load).

God bless our great country and all those who were so brutally murdered that day.
