Daily Mail: Merkel offers cash handouts worth millions of pounds for migrants to return home in an embarrassing U-turn
* The German chancellor agreed measures to speed up deportation
* An estimated 450,000 rejected migrants are set to be sent home
* Scheme includes £76million of cash incentives to leave voluntarily
Angela Merkel will offer cash handouts worth millions of pounds for migrants to leave Germany in an effort to silence criticism of her ‘open-door’ border policy.
In a highly-embarrassing U-turn over the ill-fated plan, which saw 1.2million migrants flock to the country, Mrs Merkel has now vowed to send many of them home.
The German chancellor agreed a package of measures to speed up the deportation process for an estimated 450,000 migrants who have been rejected asylum.

WNU Editor: This is what I call a classic government screw-up .... and one that many warned two years ago (this blogger included) would happen. Facing poor poll numbers, a dissatisfied base who are probably gong to stay home this year instead of voting for her, coupled with 450,000 rejected asylum requests (and climbing) .... she is now offering cash handouts for them to leave (which many will not respect). As for her own political party who are seeing these poll numbers .... they are getting desperate .... German Social Democrats refute finance minister's Schulz-Trump comparison (DW).

Offering cash to the invader to leave?!!? I must confess I've never really liked Germany. I've never thought this a "good" country with "good" people.
With that said I don't wish tnem harm. Since America is not a "good" country either, I can appreciate the German predicament.
They were among those who wanted to knock over the evil Libyan government and it was evil. Unfortunately what we now have is even worse. I warned the Germans of such stupidity and advised them not to partake in such stupidity. They didn't listen.
Later I warned them to treat the "migrants" as invaders and act accordingly. Not only did they not listen to my wise council but they invited the invaders in with open arms like a giddy school girl experiencing her first crush. Now they must deal with the consequences. They have to now resort to bribing the enemy to leave them alone and leave their company
"What’s going on was explained lucidly by a senior Pentagon intelligence official, who stated that “since January 20, we’ve assumed that the Kremlin has ears inside the SITROOM,” meaning the White House Situation Room, the 5,500 square-foot conference room in the West Wing where the president and his top staffers get intelligence briefings. “There’s not much the Russians don’t know at this point,” the official added in wry frustration."

Jay, if we know the Russians have hear in the SITROOM, why aren't we do anything against that?
I agree, for my view, I shall let that the way it is: making fake meeting with a lot of bugs and do the real meeting somewhere else.
If you read the article, the "Russian Ears" the Intel Community believes exist in the SITROOM, are actual ears, attached to various heads.
Dividing the 450,000 into the 76m, comes out to only like 169 euro per person. My guess, not enough to motivate them to leave.
"since January 20th"? It seems to me the Russians have been inside our SITROOM for a lot longer than that...either that or they are just really good at guessing.

So what if the Russians are listening in. No one here wants to fight them. The blood suckers of eastern Europe and Ukraine definitely aren't worth fighting them. Cold War 1 was miraculously fought toba draw. We were EXTREMELY blessed and DO NOT want Cold War 2.
Russian Intel is the worlds's best. America's Intel is among the world's worst. As such, I suspect they've always been listening in. I find it interesting that US "Intelligence" is now suddenly worrying about this.
Now when someone suggests we make peace with Russia and gets elected on that goal, they are opposed. I wonder if Ronald Reagan faced this kind of opposition when he and his team negotiated an end to Cold War 1. In the case of US "Intelligence", "to stupid to know you are stupid" is an apt analogy.
The "Russian Ears" are on American heads, and are believed to have already lead to the arrests of 2 US assets in Russia, and the deaths of two more.
Obviously we are going to share with Russia anything we learn. Since they are WAY ahead of us, it"s unlikely we know anything they don't. I'm pretty sure they knew of the "assets" -long before they were deployed to Russia or anywhere else.
Anyone doing something so stupid as trying to undrrmine Russia should expect and be prepared forca bad ending. I continually marvel at the utter stupidity of US "Intelligence."
Since the US is going to need good relations with China, this really isn't a problem. DJT has apparently been smart enough to embrace the "one China" policy. Exposing a few idiot dumb assess in US "Intelligence" might actually be a step in the right direction.
As for Iran, we will need Russian help to deal with this. If Russia has a friend in the US, they'd be more likely to help us.
As for Syria, support Russia's position, try and advance it, and good outcomes are possible. Trying to oppose Russia will only end baly for anyone who does so.
As for North Korea, DJT has embraced the "one China" policy as he needed to. Furthermore the next step will be to recognize China's position on the South China Sea, embrace it, and act accordingly. At that point, they may agree to renegotiate tbe current trade agreements.
We would havs gladly shared with Russia anything we know on China, North Morea, Iran, and Syria. Given the utter incompetence of US "Intel" we know nothing they haven't known long before the idiots at Langley and elsewhere somehow figured it out.
While "fun" for about 30 seconds, humiliating idiots is degrading in the mid to long range. Russia has more important things to worry about. Hopefully the "ears" go both ways and they'll share c with us what they kbow.
We will need to establish that we are worthy of them. So far we haven't. Having leaders whom the Russians trust would be a step in the right direction.
Troll brigade is working hard.
The topic is Merkel, but JabberJay talks about nothing but Trump.
LMFAO,
You are clueless.
Sources are humint, nobody's going to talk to US Intelligence, if they know their cover is going to be blown by Trump.
No Allied Intelligence Agency is going to share their sources, if Trump's gonna blow their cover.
Methods, is everything else, from satellite info to the WWW.
Once a "target state" knows the "methods", they can take counter actions to block those methods, or spoof them.
No Allied Intelligence Agency is going to share "methods" with the US, if they know that their multi million dollar investments in tech are going to be neutered as soon as Trump is told.
LMFAO
Wow, talk about writing the ABC's on how to destroy one's political career!
Think we have a new best seller author here! Offering cash for them to LEAVE?!?
If she somehow clings onto power after this, I'm calling bull... Maybe that's why the Germans are so paranoid about electoral interference, they don't want anyone but themselves to fiddle with it!
Jay love refugess and hate all whites, especially if you are christian, hetero and do not want to convert to Islam.
LMFAO,
You should go back to where you came from,
Ain't America.
LMFAO, love the "whites" neonazi reference.
Glad I am not in Canada.
Me too.
Very glad you ain't in Canada.
Everyone I kno from Canada wants become a us citizen.
If whites have to leave America, Vietnamese have to leave Vietnam.
Look it up.
The Vietnamese are not natives of Vietnam.
B Poster,
"You are correct. We did get off topic"
I do have a solution. I'll email WNU and it is one that does not shock therapy for JabberJay.
