A Tyrannosaurus-sized beast trashes around in the halls of Western Civilization. Its special characteristic is that certain circles the ones that have let the beast in- manage to overlook the monster. The chief error in this is not that the obvious is ignored but to think If we pretend it is not here then our followers will not notice it".
It is generally unnoticed that a UN committee is developing a proposal. According to it migration meaning the right to enter countries without their consent is to be termed a fundamental human right. Use your imagination to predict what happens once the case is brought to a vote in the Assembly.
Meanwhile migration continues to churn the waters in advanced countries. Let us begin with Germany a country whose self-infused confusion elevates her into a challenge to Europes and the Transatlantic Alliances stability.
Mr. Seehofer is the Minister of Interior in the new cabinet in which Merkels CDU/CSU and the Sozis" share power. The glue of this coalition is not common values but a fear of a new election; in it the traditional parties would do worse than in the last balloting after which it took six months to form a government. Having to fear the anger of the common people the Left and the nominal Centrists try to govern cooperatively to whip up support to survive a later polling.
Now then CDU/CSU is also a coalition. Seehofer represents the right-of-center CSU that fits less-and-less Merkels CDU not to mention the Sozis". It is no surprise that on March 3 Seehofer said that contrary to Merkels earlier claim Islam does not belong to Germany". Promptly Merkel shot back reiterating that Islam belongs to Germany because of the millions of Moslems there. Then (21.03) addressing parliament she admitted that her migration policy something to be proud of" divided the country. The staying power of the coalition within the coalition and the larger Left Right" compact promises to be of limited duration.
As this is written the debate unfolds by allegations that no variety of Islam has a place in the country. The patients life-supporting pipelines appear to be clogged by the residues of indigestible migration - a major question in the eyes of society.
As time passes in Europe and in America more and more persons find that this fictitious quote sums up their situation. Following a fad the old centrists drift to the left. I stay. That way I find myself far out on the right". Let this be amended to say I find myself in growing company out on that limb".
A statesman whose main shortcoming is his small country makes the point. Alas thereby his lament does not reverberate loudly enough when he finds Africa is kicking in the door of our house. Brussels does nothing to defend us."
On the eve of a recent national holiday Premier Orbn had stated; With Europe we are in the midst of a clash of civilizations. We need to defend our achievements and by doing our part we find that the main challenge does not come from feeble local parties but from a foreign-spun web woven by an imperial center.
We do not hate anyone; however we shall continue to fend off what George Soros wishes to do to Hungary. This is our homeland we cannot have another one and therefore we shall never surrender it. Europe raises its arms to capitulate and forgets that the victors are the ones that write the last chapters of the history of the conquered.
Europes peoples will not forgive those leaders that change Europe without their consent. Let us be proud that we are the only country that asked its people /in a referendum/ whether they approve of mass migration".
Europes left-liberal West likes to tell the Easterners" in this case especially the Visegrd 4- that it knows more about democracy than they do. Supported by that boast and a higher economic development partly attributable to not having had Socialism- instructional sermons are held. These tell Central and Eastern Europe what to think whenever the belittled region ignores its masters voice". Behind the sense of superiority divergent experience-rooted perceptions stand out.
To comprehend the moving force behind what amounts to an East-West divide the world-views behind the differences need to be explained.
To the political class of the West liberty is a birthright. That makes liberty at least for Eurasias western rim a condition that is natural making it therefore a for free" good and as such safely enjoyed. The resulting attitude is Subjugation and servitude as a fate? Not in our case as that is the lot of the lesser peoples only. It cannot happen to us". Liberty under such terms is more than a right: being taken for granted it does not require to be defended by paying the price of sacrifice.
The only challenge perceived by the political class comes from an uncouth elements insolent populist attempt to dislodge from command its natural guides". In this instance freedoms system resembles a cow that feeds itself to dispense milk to those that hold reserved seats near its teats.
Central Europe sees the world and the presents challenges in other terms. For the Poles Hungarians the Czechs and the Slovaks their Soviet-era serfdom is the point of departure of their thinking. Western politicians assume that nothing bad that cannot be overcome by sending money can happen to them. This sense of safety reduces threats to not making it by being unmasked before the next election. If the power elite perceive a threat then it is something that can be met by raising taxes.
Central Europe values independence. Autonomy is not seen as self-evident because all are cognizant that countries can be erased. Furthermore recent subjugation by various malefactors is well remembered. Ergo sovereignty is known not to be a natural condition and that makes it into a treasure to be protected from loss. Furthermore national independence is not only seen as imperiled but also as a pre-condition of self-determination. Therefore to the politically conscious the goal of individual freedom in the political and economic realm is reached on a path that begins with an independent country. It is a land for a people that forming a sovereign community has the power to institutionalize its concept of liberty. Without independence there can be no system that expresses and protects a peoples rights. That is its ability to pursue happiness" as it cares to define that and the way of life it chooses to pursue.
This way of thinking explains the tensions with the European Unions bureaucratic center in Brussels. What the V4 and those western states that are moving closer to its position wish is not the EU that is being constructed by its officials. The V4 wish for a union that protects the national identity and the independence of sovereign nations that are voluntary participants. Note: that has been the original purpose of the EU when also responding to US nudging it was founded. Alone the treatment of non-member Switzerland and Britains Brexit betray that things stand differently today. The EUs power elite and its French-German axis see the members national independence not as a purpose but as a defect to be overcome.
The problems created by migration have dragged the clash between the different conceptions into center stage. With millions in the pipeline and hundreds of thousands already in the liberal-run member states these wish to redistribute" the largely illegally present mass among the EUs members. This provokes the V4 to categorically refuse to accept a culturally alien and assimilation-resistant inundation imposed upon them by foreign powers. Regardless of the outcome of the confrontation that is building up between the multi-cultural globalists and the committed preservers of national identity the result will be a significantly changed Europe. With that accomplished the T-Rex will either be part of an exhibition as a stuffed curiosity or it will have devoured its careless handlers.
