Initially?
I would say that is you could tell me where all these poor, starving, huddled masses are getting the hundred dollar bills the local cigarette vendors are being swamped in then you’d have your answer.
This ….
“The public sector directly demands more goods and services to deal with the influx of refugees and the refugees themselves boost private demand as they also spend money in Germany,”
The usual churning of money that occurs in welfare states.
Yup,and it’s an ever smaller pot being churned since no new wealth is being created.
Same story with that dumb bitch Pelosi who claimed government spending in the form of direct payment welfare(food stamps and housing subsidies) were an economic multiplier.
Defense spending,the space program and rebuilding infrastructure are economic multipliers,not paying the lazy to breed.
Gee, Ms Pelosi.
Hows about we take all the producers out of LA and NY city and shovel in the entire welfare population to go live with the bankers and socialites.
Why, that’s just about be some sort of economic dream team, right? A modern damn renaissance, wouldn’t ya say?
Google ads are occasionally hilarious.
I went to the PamGellar website and there was a massive ad to the right of the screen for a muslim dating service.
Keywords aren’t always a good targeting mechanism.
I wonder if the reverse is true and there are infidel dating service ads on the jihad websites?
“Hot Infidels online waiting to chat now”!
“I’ve been walking around the house without a burka all day and I desperately need a strong muslim man to stone me to death…”
Greetings from Ca-moran-istan.
Yes, I too have noted those muslim dating websites.
But back to the main issue in question.
It is inevitable that a mass influx will add to an economy.
But the real measure that counts is income or wealth per capita.
Now 800,000 refugees is 1 per cent of the total German economy.
Yet the invasion will only add 0.2 per cent.
So we can take it from that that each incomer will reduce average living standards in Germany.
The cake might be made a little big bigger but far more will be wanting a piece, so its smaller pieces all round thanks to mass immigration.
Likewise in Britain and elsewhere.
I mean 800,000 is 1 per cent of the 80 million population in Germany.
This American government is the most incompetent government that has ever walked the earth. Those people don’t have any sense at all. Just look at what they’ve done. In 14 years they’ve destroyed 7 countries, killed millions of people, and displaced millions of people. And where are those displaced people? They are overrunning Europe.
This is all because those Europeans were stupid enough to enable our wars. Now the political parties in Europe are under tremendous pressure from these refugees and the populations who object to them, and from the rising dissident parties who are saying, ‘Look at what these people who you trusted have done. They’ve changed your country. It’s not Germany anymore — it’s Syria.’ .
This is a disaster. Only the stupid Americans could have produced such a disaster. Does Putin need to do anything? We’re doing it all for him. So he doesn’t need to do anything. He’s not going to attack anybody. What does he need to attack anybody for? The idiot Americans are destroying themselves and their allies. This is an amazing fiasco.”
http://kingworldnews.com/paul-craig-roberts-putin-and-the-russians-now-dominating-as-the-west-destroys-itself/
To the author: I’d be a bit nervous, as an European, calling “stupid” the people who have protected you from the Putins of the world for the past 70 years, enabling you to live in a fantasy world where you can have unlimited welfare, unlimited immigration and unlimited protection from people you look down on and despise.
Perhaps the Americans were wrong to provide those 70 years of protection. Had Europe had to protect itself from the Soviets they would have eschewed the ludicrous notion that the Third Way is somehow sustainable, and they wouldn’t now be committing cultural suicide.
If those stupid American had stayed at home during WW2, Europe would not have this problem now.
Actually, I should have said: Greater Germany would not have this problem now.
I wonder how different it would look, if at all?
They’d be better-dressed I guess, all Hugo Boss.
Damn right, Guys.
Robert, this is NOT the place for your knee-jerk anti-Americanisms.
The failure of American foreign policy right now is due to the slimy Marxist halfbreed in the White House you lot fell over one another to fellate not so long ago.
Short memory, much?
If you want to indulge in that mindless Euro-crap, there are plenty of Marxist sites which will be happy to give you a platform.
Don’t ever fucking do that in CR.
Ever wonder what the world would be like without America?
You’re seeing it now and this is just the beginning.
Again, only a damn fool looks at what’s going on and attributes it to “stupidity”.
“Stupidity” is the cover for self serving treason towards ends that would give you nightmares.
Long thread. I should have specified @Robertv
Oswald: What if Germany and Japan had won WW II?
This “what if” is being explored in “The Man in the High Castle” TV series.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_in_the_High_Castle_(TV_series)
I daresay the outcome of America defeated by Russia and China would have been equally grim.
Today America has all but withdrawn from the Middle East – and the Islamic hordes are beating down the walls all over Europe.
Watched the whole season,loved it and it’s a real eye opener-
https://youtu.be/TFM2xZ7dytk
‘ FOUR refugees who fled the Middle East for a safer life in Australia allegedly shipped millions of dollars of drugs into Sydney as part of a crime syndicate linked to an ex-Olympian.
Three of the former Iranian refugees now face indefinite detention if convicted and jailed for more than a year, because Iran will not take them back, meaning we have to keep them…
Despite the men originally fleeing the war-torn Middle East, the plan allegedly saw two of the refugees return there to organise a 90kg shipment of tea leaves laced with pseudoephedrine to be smuggled into Australia… Arash Maleki and Omid Nourizad Eh Haris allegedly flew from Sydney to northern Iraq to arrange the shipment of drugs…’
Assuming they didn’t arrive during the 1970s revolution, one must wonder on what basis they were granted refuge. Are they Christians? Homosexuals? Sunni moslems? Or just assholes who happened to crash land on Christmas Island during the GillRudd years of idiocy?
Some questions easily answered-
Where did they get the money to start this enterprise?Either through laundering or an overseas,probably government backer.
Are they loyal?Nope,they are selling dope to the kids of the country that adopted them.
What to do with them now? Expulsion,they don’t have to go home,but they can’t stay in Australia.
What to do to end these crimes?Mirror Singapore’s drug trafficking laws.
hahahahahaha! The horror!

Well perfectly good ammo did go to waste
“Police officers were forced to dig through the sand while on the hunt for more discarded bullets”
Never heard of a metal detector?
Well, playing around digging up the beach sure beats the drudgery of useful police work…
Me? I keep finds like that.

Aye.
Does anybody seriously doubt the media are the enemy?
‘Why these frantic attempts to shut down debates?
Since when did journalists decide debate was unhealthy?
It is bizarre, how so many journalists have become enemies of exactly the kind of freedom on which they should thrive.
We have seen many support laws that quash debate on the new racial politics. We have seen near silence on the legal bid by a Greens candidate to silence the Catholic Church in the debate on same sex marriage. We have seen prominent political journalists oppose a public vote on same sex marriage on the grounds that debate is unhealthy. We have seen journalists back a policy of not giving sceptics a voice in a debate on global warming.

How to be “Tacticool”

Graduation in Detroit
Darqueeze played high school football in Detroit. He was a great running back, but a really
poor student. At graduation, he didn’t have enough credits. But he was a great football star
and the students held a rally and demanded the principal give him a diploma anyway. They
were so insistent that the principal agreed that if Darqueeze could answer one question
correctly he would give him a diploma.
The one question test was held in the auditorium and all the students packed the place. It
was standing room only.
The principal was on the stage and told him to come up. Diploma in hand, the principal said:
“Darqueeze, if you can answer this one question correctly I’ll give you your diploma.”
“Darqueeze, how much is three times seven?”
Darqueeze looked up at the ceiling and then down at his shoes, pondering the question.
The other students began chanting, “Graduate him anyway! Graduate him
anyway!”
Then Darqueez held up his hand and the auditorium became silent. He said, “I think I know
the answer. Three times seven is twenty-one.”
A hush fell over the auditorium and then all the other students began to chant:
“Give him another chance! Give him another chance!”

White Ribbon Australia is a feminist collective that advocates for the demonization of men as the sole perpetrators of domestic violence and collects millions of dollars in funding that do not seem to go towards anything other than salary for its members.
They have been promoting the White Ribbon campaign at work. Every year I tell them I’ll wear the ribbon only when they target violence against men and children as well. This gets me lots of sour looks.
http://www.avoiceformen.com/updates/white-ribbon-australia-presumes-guilty-before-proven-innocent/
Same here.
I’ve had harpies shrieking in my face over the response.
It’s extortion, and only cowards give in to it. Far as I’m concerned, the white ribbon is a badge of de-balled shame for those wearing it.
The name White String Australia would be more fitting

Flying Boulders?Really?
wtf??
What a load of bollocks. A far more plausible scenario I’ve seen is that they were thrown up by a giant tsunami, the result of a volcanic explosion or massive undersea ‘quake.
“Climate change” my arse. That Hansen can still be quoted shows just how low the AGW charlatans have sunk.
Well KG, you can take heart in the symptoms of weakening of the left. The Democrats in the USA have nothing but old white socialists in prominent positions, UK Labour is led by a far Left socialist not liked by his own party and now NZ Labour is having another reshuffle because they have no strong leadership.
I’ve often wondered..

Neat little laser.
Last night I was at an Italian restaurant. It was a quiet Sunday evening so the waiter was able to chat to us for quiet a while. He said he had only been in Australia for 3 months, and he had come to Australia for a better life. The guy was quite a charming young man who came from Rome, and he said that Rome along with all of Italy had been ruined by refugees and government corruption. He said there is filth everywhere, the monuments and historic sites are full of rubbish, and there are refugees sleeping in the streets. As he told us this, saying he had come to Australia to to get away from this, in the back of my mind I was thinking that it is only a matter of time before it is like that here, but I said nothing to discourage him. The thing was that this young man was not coming across as someone with a political axe to grind, he was genuinely sad for the destruction of his native country.
It’s a huge tragedy Phil, and I pray the unspeakable bastards responsible will one day face a bullet or the hangman.

Check out the comments. The VAST majority are anti climate action.
Of course they are. Who the fuck wants to pay even more tax to “fix” a non-existent problem, promoted by greedheads and supported by morons?
