    Now we find out if Germans are really really stupid or just really stupid, depending on whether they buy her about face.

    Disingenuous bull$#@!, probably designed to help her remain in power. Feh...

    Germans are now so completely stupid, it might just work.

    I would add that Merkel has a perfect solution: mass deportation. I would begin today. Sadly, she will not.

    There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

    It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.

    ha. I was going to answer for you but decided to wait.
    I would add this: you've got the problem and reaction described. The 'crusade' is not the end.
    then
    they add their 'solution'.

    You may be right but sometimes THEY use simpler methods of manipulation, in any case my crystal ball doesn't show me what may come after the "Crusade" besides wars and rumors of war.

    This confirms my theory that all of this Eurabia garbage is intended to provoke a far-right backlash and a "Crusade" against Islam.
    Not likely, at least at first blush.

    As someone pointed out in the thread to which you referred, there are far easier and less hazardous ways of precipitating a superficially valid pretext for going to war with "Islam". Letting multiple millions of potentially dangerous foreign agents is a lot of work and poses tremendous hazards to one's political station, not to mention the very future of one's land.

    I will point out that the assumption that those in true power in, say, Germany are pro-German is deeply flimsy on its best day. If we accept the existence of so-called "globalists" and that they occupy positions of deep and abiding power, then the assumption that Germany is being governed by Germans with nationalist inclinations becomes plainly absurd. The globalists openly admit their goal of eliminating all nations, the first step toward which is the elimination of nationalism in all its forms.

    If we go only slightly out on a limb and accept that these globalists occupy key seats of governmental power and influence across the face of the planet, then we can rest fairly well assured that there are not entrenched nationalists in key positions such that they are readily able to mount effective actions against "Islam". They cannot do it openly if they are not occupying key positions of power, if for no other reason than that an army must be fed. Within three to four days of having run out of provisions, soldiers begin to face very real hazards. No food = no fight in pretty short order.

    This fact alone pretty well assassinates the idea of a cabal seeking to secure a pretext with which to go to war against Muslims so much as nationally, much less globally. Besides, the pretext already stands. 9/11 has plenty of life left in it. Any nation could credibly wage war on any Muslim nation or population based on the events of 9/11/2001. Let us remember that this is "government" of which we speak - they require no valid basis for action anymore. They simply decide and then act and the people can go suck it. That is the world in which we now reside as virtual prisoners.

    It is the globalists that want the "Crusade" against islam, they will use "Nationalism" at first but will quickly divert it to Pan-European Imperialism, and they must dramatically scar the collective psyche of Europe to flip European culture back to aggressive dominance instead of the passive submission that WWI and WWII beat into them, Europeans would not embark on a "Crusade" to destroy islam at present, they are too "Liberal" to engage in active repression of a religion or genocide against it's followers.

    This might make a good book, but I do not see it as being real anywhere else. What you describe would undo at least three generations of progressive pussification of the European. There are a few large holes in this that you would need to credibly fill before this theory becomes plausible. What you describe flies in the face of good sense, unless Islam poses a real threat to Theire positions. I doubt it. There appears Theye may even be behind the rise of these head-sawing Muslim lunatics. I don't know - world is so odd, I honestly don't know what to think anymore.

    I say lets get the war going and settle all these outstanding issues once and for all.

    The muslim factions want to be treated as equals to the reigning globalists, their oil wealth has nearly put them into the same league and they want more, the globalists don't want to give them more power, in fact they are currently fighting among themselves to cut down the number of shares, so they decided to change plans and reverse the cultural trends they had created in Europe, but they had already gone so far while they thought that the muslim factions would be happy with crumbs from the table that drastic measures have become necessary.

    They told the muslim factions that they were going to help them conquer the world for islam and use it as to control the populace, then they worked with them to create the terrorists, but they plan on using them to demonize all of islam so they can seize the oil and land for themselves.

    If what we are seeing is not complete theater, then they want a whole lot more than mere equal standing. They want dominion. Big difference.

    I do not think that it has, but I agree that they want more. It's what humans do.

    This makes no strategic sense. Had the globalists held the Muslims in any concern, they would have ensured they never emerged from the deserts. As it stands they let the sand fleas out because they perceive no threat. I would also not be surprised to find that the rise of fundamentalist Islam has as much to do with globalist muck-raking as it does with the Wahhabis. Bear "useful idiots" in your thoughts. That is what ISIS, etc., are.

    Yes but that just adds to my theory's validity. Those who hold the power don't want to share let alone be overcome.

    They didn't hold any fear of them, they still don't really but they want to nip them in the bud and take the oil for themselves.

    This presupposes Theye erred in a manner and to a degree I find nearly impossible to accept.

    They didn't hold any fear of them, they still don't really but they want to nip them in the bud and take the oil for themselves.
    That makes sense. What doesn't is that they would re-empower those whom Theye have worked so diligently to de-ball. This also implies a sort and degree of error that would require much demonstration before I could accept that Theye made it. I suppose it is possible - I just don't think it very likely. But if it is, that is actually very good news in that it demonstrates that Theye are not quite as smart as they, or we, think.

    THEY did err greatly because they overestimated their own cohesion, THEY thought that they could use the US as the imperial enforcer forever, but dissident factions of THE EMPIRE have for their own gain undermined the US economically, politically and diplomatically to the point that THEY need Europe to take up arms again in order to wipe islam from the face of the earth.

    Time will tell if I am correct, but I am committed to my theory until I see clear evidence that things are going different.
