"The Europe as you know it from visiting, from your
parents or friends is on the verge of collapsing," Geert Wilders said in a
speech in the United States last year.
The leader of the Netherlands' populist Party for Freedom
added: "We are now witnessing profound changes that will forever alter
Europe's destiny and might send the Continent in what Ronald Reagan called 'a
thousand years of darkness.' " And not just Europe, but America as well.
Been to Europe lately? Thought it was bad? You ain't seen
nothing yet. The passage of the Lisbon Treaty, hailed by President Obama,
nailed the coffin shut on national sovereignty in Europe. The people of Europe
fought it, but were overwhelmed by their political elites and the lack of
American leadership in this age of our rather Marxist, collectivist U.S.
president.
Come Jan. 1, 2010, a disastrous and suicidal pact called the
Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (Europe/Mediterranean) goes into effect with
little fanfare or examination. It boggles the mind that such a consequential
and seismic cultural shift could be mandated and put into play without so much
as a murmur from the mainstream media.
Why should Americans care about this? Americans have to care
because this global gobbledygook is coming to our shores, thanks to our
globalist president.
The European human rights group called Stop the Islamization
of Europe (SIOE) has been working tirelessly to expose the mass Muslim
immigration plan of the Euro-Med Partnership.
A statement on the SIOE Web site criticizes the secrecy of
the process: "It was shocking to hear about the plans and at the same time
knowing that Danish politicians and a [cowardly] Danish press - who is
otherwise proud to be critical - has told nothing to the Danish people about
this project which begins in January.
This also showed clearly at the conference. Only very few
politicians showed up and no media. Those politicians who showed up had
obviously never heard about the Euro-Mediterranean project.
The goal of the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation is to create
a new Greater European Union encompassing both Europe and North Africa, with
the Mediterranean Sea becoming a domestic Eurabian sea. The goal is to
establish a "comprehensive political partnership," including a
"free trade area and economic integration"; "considerably more
money for the partners" (that is, more European money flowing into North
Africa); and "cultural partnership" - that is, importation of Islamic
culture into post-Christian Europe.
According to the SIOE, in the Euro-Med plan "Europe is
to be islamized. Democracy, Christianity, European culture and Europeans are to
be driven out of Europe. Fifty million North Africans from Muslim countries are
to be imported into the EU."
Skeptical? It's already happening. The British newspaper the
Daily Express reported in October 2008 on "a controversial taxpayer-funded
'job centre' " that opened in Mali at that time as "just the first
step towards promoting 'free movement of people in Africa and the EU.' Brussels
economists claim Britain and other EU states will 'need' 56 million immigrant
workers between them by 2050 to make up for the 'demographic decline' due to
falling birthrates and rising death rates across Europe."
To offset this decline, a "blue card" system is to
be created that will allow card holders to travel freely within the European
Union and have full rights to work - as well as the full right to collect
welfare benefits.
A Muslim population from Africa moving freely into Europe
threatens America. On Christmas Day, a Nigerian Muslim flew from Amsterdam to
Detroit and tried to explode a bomb on the plane - after he was allowed to
board the plane without a passport. The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership will
make jihad attacks like this one all the easier.
And once in Europe, Muslims have already begun demanding
special privileges and accommodations. IslamOnline reported on Dec. 21 that
"Muslims activists from 26 European countries have come together to launch
the first rights council to enlighten European Muslims about their rights,
monitor rising Islamophobia and defend Muslim rights in European courts of
law."
Ali Abu Shwaima, a Muslim leader in Italy, explained:
"We think European human rights groups are not doing enough to defend the
rights of Muslims. Therefore we thought that we need this new council,
especially that all laws and constitutions in Europe respect freedom of
religion and oppose all forms of discrimination and racism."
"Islamophobia," "discrimination" and
"racism" are all terms Muslims in Europe and America use to confuse
people into thinking that the perpetrators of Islamic terrorism are the real
victims. And it is working: Mr. Wilders is going on trial in the Netherlands,
instead of all the Islamic hate sponsors he is fighting against. It has to be
this way, to increase harmony among the Muslim and non-Muslim member states of
the Euro-Med Partnership.
This internationalism is already destroying what has made
Europe free and great. And now Mr. Obama seems to want to do the same to
America.
