AFRICAN REFUGEES IN EUROPE: DOES BRUSSELS OFFER AID?

AFRICAN REFUGEES IN EUROPE: DOES BRUSSELS OFFER AID?

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

Hundreds of thousands of Africans and Arabs are pouring into Europe every year. It’s like Europe is going through a déjà vu, as the same phenomenon took place from 2,000 through 1,500 Before Present (BP), when migratory “barbarians” supposedly marauded Rome and sacked the West’s most powerful civilization then existing.

I have already forewarned, in previous articles, of the consequences of the dark agenda of Anglo-European elites to depopulate Africa and wage a global conflagration pitting the Sunni versus Shiite Muslims. Such evil agenda will eventually backfire on Europeans, as the affected states will see their peoples migrate in waves to Europe which they perceive as safe haven.

Just exactly what are Europeans doing now to address the onrush flow of colored “barbarians” to their continent? At a time when Europe’s economy is in dire straits, can it accommodate millions more of Africans and Arabs, such as those 11 million that are moving towards hunger induced by drought and famine?

Below is a case report of the assistance given by the Belgian government to resettling African migrants fleeing Libya.

IOM and UNHCR Assist the Government of Belgium in Resettling African Refugees Fleeing Libya


Posted on Tuesday, 19-07-2011

Belgium - Twenty-five Eritrean and Congolese refugees have been assisted by IOM, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the Government of Belgium to travel to and resettle in Belgium.

The resettled refugees, who arrived in Belgium on 17 July, had fled the violence in Libya and crossed into Tunisia, where they stayed at the UNHCR-run Choucha refugee camp while waiting for resettlement opportunities.

The group, including nine women and nine children, was assisted by IOM to travel from Choucha camp to Tunis airport and onwards to Belgium (Brussels National Airport). IOM staff assisted the refugees at both airports with pre-departure and post-arrival procedures including passport control and security checks.

IOM also carried out pre-departure health checks a week ago to ensure that the refugees were fit to fly. At departure, IOM staff provided a short briefing on in-flight procedures (pre-embarkation session) and handed out a short information leaflet concerning the reception and accommodation upon arrival in Belgium.

According to IOM Brussels, which organized the resettlement in close coordination with the Government of Belgium and UNHCR, the resettled refugees will be assisted by the Federal agency for the reception of asylum seekers (Fedasil), which is providing shelter and by the NGOs Caritas and Convivium, which will provide the newly arrived with an integration course. This includes language classes, educational enrolment and assistance to find employment.

This is the second time Belgium responds to an international request for refugee resettlement. In 2009, Belgium resettled 47 refugees from Iraq.

"These persons are in need of protection, I am proud that Belgium, like other European Countries, is taking up its responsibilities. Protecting those in need is not only an international obligation but it is our moral duty," says Belgium's State Secretary for Migration and Asylum Policy Melchior Wathelet.

This resettlement project is funded by the European Refugee fund (ERF). Other EU Member states such as the Netherlands, Ireland and Portugal are also taking part in this resettlement programme.

EUROPE’S TOTALITARIAN SLIDE CHECKED BY IRELAND’S VOTE ON LISBON TREATY

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

Good morning!

It is a stormy morning actually as I write this piece, and it seems to coincide with stormy events in the European continent at the moment. The continental storm has got to do with the finalization of the Lisbon treaty that could have effected complete political integration of Europe.

What makes the treaty questionable, in the opinion of many in Europe and across the globe, is that it didn’t pass through the public opinion mills and debates. Engaging Europeans themselves in voting for the measure could have been the most important method to ensure public consent about the unification treaty.

What is scary about the treaty, per analysis from many quarters including the Guardian and Executive Intelligence Review, is that it could pave the way for a central authority that is an undisguised totalitarian regime. A continental police state could have been the result of the full implementation, which is scheduled on January 2009, coinciding with the report to office of a new president in the United States.

Already, certain political personages are salivating for sitting in the throne of European president in case the treaty will be fully enforced. Tony Blair, former premier of the UK, is among those top candidates, and is noted to be very interested in becoming the first president of the political Union. In that case, he will be the first legitimate Emperor Palpatin, who will then sign marching orders for das boots mobilizations and conflagration of a total magnitude that will dwarf what the planet had ever experienced.

If the treaty will be fully implemented, the NATO will become the instant military wing, and the nuclear arsenal of the UK and France will be placed under the direction of Brussels. The NATO will become the command center for an EU-USA hegemonic partnership that will bring warfare to its next level across the planet.

The whole of Europe will suddenly become a police state of nightmarish proportions. The immigrants there today as well as the prison inmates will instantly turn into slave labor for global corporations. The scheme, as it was already tested in the USA, is for greater privatization of prison services. It is but another disguise for slave labor pure and plain.

You may have noticed the massive influx today of immigrants to Europe. This had already been pre-planned before to raise the level of future slave laborers in the new totalitarian continent. They will backstop the prisoners whose numbers will increase by many folds as brutal police forces will be rounding up every suspicious member of a neighborhood supposedly to check on guns, drugs, alcohol drinking binge, sex orgy parties, criminals, and so on.

That totalitarian march of Europe had been checkmated for a while, as Ireland sought its citizens’ vote on the matter. Irish people rejected the treaty, and so this gives Europe some breathing space to re-think about the compass of political economic life. It could in fact be a chance to abolish the European Union altogether, which is really nothing but a central regulatory arm of the Anglo-Dutch-Teutonic oligarchy within its own backyard.

Let us all keep our eyes wide opened, vigilant to the max as events unfold in Europe. We can never again allow a totalitarian regime in that continent, whose spill-over effect would be a rapid resurgence of Japanese militarism in Asia. No, never again can we see a repeat of the fascistic days of the ‘30s & ‘40s.
