Zero Hedge: "Countdown To The End": EU Officials Say Europe Is "Going Down The Drain"
Back in September, when Berlin and Brussels were busy devising a quota plan to settle the millions of Mid-East asylum seekers flooding into the country, Slovakia said that if Germany called for financial penalties against countries unwilling to accommodate their “share” of migrants, it would be “the end of the EU.”
That might have seemed hyperbolic at the time, but since then, the situation has spiraled out of control. Border fences have been erected, refugee camps are overflowing, and anti-migrant sentiment is running high after a series of reported sexual assaults on New Year’s Eve sparked a bloc-wide scandal.
In a testament to just how tense things have become, Austria suspended Schengen on Saturday as new rules came into effect for those seeking to traverse the country on the way north. “Anyone who arrives at our border is subject to control,” Chancellor Werner Faymann said. “If the EU does not manage to secure the external borders, Schengen as a whole is put into question... Then each country must control its national borders,” he added, before warning that if the EU could not better control its external borders “the whole EU [will be] in question.”

WNU Editor: What caught my eye was the following remarks by Slovenian PM Miro Cerar ....
.... "Millions, and I stress millions of migrants from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Algeria, Morocco are ready to enter the EU once the weather improves in the coming months," he cautioned.
Since the beginning of this crisis EU officials, Chancellor Angela Merkel, the government of Sweden .... they all ordered their borders opened and proclaimed that migrants were welcomed into their countries. Today .... with the growing realization that literally millions (if not more) are now making their way and/or planning to migrate to Germany .... panic is now starting to set in .... German minister urges Merkel to prepare border closures (Reuters). If this happens .... which I predict it will .... the resulting closures would mean the end of Europe's open borders as we know it .... and the repercussions will last for years.

On a cold December night in 2002 I and about forty others marched with peace candles against the coming Iraq invasion. This was in a major US city, and so the turnout was pathetic. We then knew what we were demonstrating against was wrong, but we didn't know HOW wrong it would turn out to be.
And of course the perpetrators of this act which would change the Middle East and Europe were plentiful. It was not only Bush and the Repubs, it was also Biden and Kerry and Clinton and Gore and the Dems, both parties. And then Afghanistan, and Libya. Disorder 'R Us.
--Who knew.
And not one of them is held accountable. This is imperial fiat at is best (worst). When Msrs Goering, Hess, Jodl, Speer etc. were sitting in the dock at Nürnburg one of the charges was committing crimes against peace. This very same charge, and others, could be legitimately laid in regards to those who Don mentioned as well as the leaders of the UK, Canada, Australia and NATO member countries such as France.
A part of the problem is that the criminals are in charge of the (kangaroo) courthouse and justice, such as it is, is reserved for those who are "less than".
Any sane, thinking person seeing the glaring hypocricy of such a "rule of law" would be not incorrect in challenging the authority or legitimacy of said. The whole awful thing relies on a "might makes right" foundation dressed up in law and order costume. Lipstick on a pig.
We're supposed to be upset about this???

Bush didn't start this. It was mainly the influx of extreme Islam into Afghanistan. After the civil war there in the early 90's, Al Qaeda and the Taliban took over. Mass out warned of the attack on the US, and he was ignored in Europe. America was already demanding, through Clinton, that the Taliban hand over bin laden. The invasion was as inevitable as the next one will be.
All the Libyan fighters that Qadaffi 'allowed' to leave to go to Iraq would have stayed in Libya and been good citizens?
If Qadaffi had not 'allowed them the leave, they would have started trouble in Libya and Amnesty International would be whining.
If all those Libyans had stayed in Linya instead of going to Iraq, do we know Qadaffi would have won?
