Europe’s current dilemma unleashed by colonial heritage and vassalage to Washington

OPEDS | DEENA STRYKER

Europe’s immigrant crisis is analyzed daily in detail, according to the incidents it provokes, but little if anything is said about the big picture. That picture has two main components: the first is the fact that life in the third world offers little hope for most young people, thanks in great part to the role the West has played over the last decades, if not for most of the last five centuries: attacking and plundering rather than aiding. The second component is the fact that until very recently, thanks to a long tradition of social activism, the European Union has constituted a sort of workers’ paradise. Young people especially, even if not suffering persecution or war, are drawn to its promise.

A current RT documentary investigates the fate of unaccompanied minors who manage to set foot on European soil after a perilous journey by sea, and the difficulty, for Greece, Italy and Germany, of caring for them during months’ long processing, during which time many end up on the street. (Greece has been in dire economic straights for eight years, receiving precious little help from the EU, and Italy is in not much better shape. Only Germany has the means to adequately care for thousands upon thousands of newcomers. France could but is not doing a very good job.)

The first attack of the Christmas season has already occurred in Berlin, and more are certain to follow. Lamentations about lack of police preparedness and warnings that terrorists infiltrate groups of real asylum seekers are like bubbles on the surface of a roiling volcano. The takeover of Europe by Muslims will be a long, drawn out affair, but there is no use pretending that it isn’t happening. Europeans need to think about how to make the process under way as smooth as possible, even in the midst of daily tragedies. The arithmetic doesn’t lie: Caucasians are 16% of the world’s population, while Muslims are twice that many. (Not to mention Black Africans —some of whom are Muslims—also 16%, and Asians, who make up 60%.)

A decade late, the ‘New Right’ wants everyone to remain and live in their own country, since ‘multi-culturalism’ doesn’t work. In the sense of newcomers accepting and adapting to the norms of their host countries, they are correct; but does history not suggest that inevitably, it’s the newcomers that transform host cultures?

The tragedy of Europe is that it sold its soul to those who have been trying to rule the world, and now it is paying the price, seeing its social achievements blown to the winds as it tries to cope with a situation it only partly created. As the US anxiously wonders what will be its fate under a president who is unlike any other, Europe needs to stop hoping America will come to the rescue—albeit a very self-serving rescue—for the third time in a century, and set about inventing a ‘new world’ in the old.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Submitters Website: http://www.otherjonesii.blogspot.com. / Born in Phila, I spent most of my adolescent and adult years in Europe, resulting over time in several unique books, my latest being

CUBA: Diary of a Revolution, Inside the Cuban Revolution with Fidel, Raul, Che, and Celia Sanchez

ALSO: Lunch with Fellini, Dinner with Fidel: An Illustrated Personal Journey from the Cold War to the Arab Spring

America Revealed to a Honey-Colored World

A Taoist Politics: The Case For Sacredness

I began my journalistic career at the French News Agency in Rome, spent two years in Cuba finding out whether the Barbados were Communists before they made the revolution ('Cuba 1964: When the Revolution was Young'). After spending half a decade in Eastern Europe, and a decade in the U.S., studying Global Survival and writing speeches in the Carter State Department, I wrote the only book that foresaw the fall of the Berlin Wall AND the dissolution of the Soviet Union ("Une autre Europe, un autre Monde'). My memoir, 'Lunch with Fellini, Dinner with Fidel', tells it all. 'A Taoist Politics: The Case for Sacredness', which examines the similarities between ancient wisdom and modern science and what this implies for political activism; and 'America Revealed to a Honey-Colored World" is a pamphlet about how the U.S. came down from the City on a Hill'.
