Hugh Fitzgerald: Righting the Listing Ship of Fools of Angela Merkel

35

The stumbling Merkel administration, not knowing what to do about the superflux of Muslim migrants in its midst, has now decided to try bribery. When Chancellor Merkel in 2015 allowed in one million Muslim migrants, and then in 2016 and 2017 another million, her disastrous decision was predicated on the idiotic belief that Germans had nothing to fear from all these Muslims. They would arrive, deeply grateful, and dutifully assimilate, work hard, and become Germans in thought, word, and deed. The possibility that these people did not want to assimilate, because they despised Infidels, as the Qur’an had told them to do — for Unbelievers are “the most vile of creatures” (98:6), while Muslims are “the best of peoples” (3:110) — was not something Merkel or her supporters could conceive. How could they possibly adhere to Western ways? Could they begin to treat their women as equal to men? Could they support the freedom of speech, if that speech mocked or criticised Muhammad? Could they accept the notion of freedom of religion, if that meant Muslims would be free to abandon Islam, when all Muslims knew that apostasy from Islam was — and should be — punishable by death?

Chancellor Merkel paid no intention to the worries expressed by German islamocritics who had read and studied the Qur’an and Hadith. She obstinately refused to recognize what these immigrants carried, undeclared, in their mental luggage — that is, hostility to all non-Muslims — and what that would mean for Germany. She did not see that these migrants were quite different from the Italian workers who arrived in Germany as guest-workers (gastarbeiter) in 1950s and 1960s, to work very hard — there was no welfare state then for immigrants — in the mines and factories, while sending money home to support their families. When they retired from work, they returned to Italy and the homes their wages had made possible.

The Muslim migrants who have recently been arriving in Germany — more than two million since 2015 — came not as eager workers, but as economic migrants. Those fleeing the war in Syria could find refuge in neighboring countries, including Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Turkey. But many who wanted only to focus on Germany did so because they were well aware of all the benefits that the generous German welfare state offered. And many others also showed up in Europe claiming to be “Syrian refugees,” but were, in reality, from Iraq and Afghanistan and a half-dozen other Muslim countries. As soon as they arrived, these “asylum seekers” were immediately eligible for free housing and all meals at reception centers, free medical care, free education, and  family allowances (that increased with every additional child). According to Germany’s Asylum-Seekers’ Benefits Act, once the asylum seekers moved out of the reception centers and rented apartments, the full cost of that housing was paid by the state, which in addition to providing accommodation, by law also had to provide money to buy food, toiletries, clothes, necessary household items and “benefits to cover personal needs in everyday life,” like a telephone card to communicate with family left back home. A family of two adults and three children now receive, over and above the free housing and utilities, free medical care, free education, an average of 720 dollars per month. A rough calculation suggests that an asylum seeker from the Middle East and family (two adults, three children) might receive in benefits from the German government the equivalent of at least $25,000-$35,000. Actual costs to the government are much higher, because they include the very considerable administrative costs of running these programs. In the United States, for example, as of 2015, it has been calculated that each asylum seeker from the Middle East costs the government, on average, about $65,000 a year.

Story continues below advertisement

If an “asylum seeker” is granted asylum, he/she continues to receive free housing (in the form of payment of the rent and all utilities by the government, money for furniture, free education (including those extra classes in German and integration), free medical care and, again, family allowances, which amount to about $600 per month for a family of two adults and three children. If the children are under the age of six, the family allowance is even higher.

Merkel’s government now says it wants to offer each “refugee” willing to return to his or her country of origin 3,000 euros, or $3,400. The previous offer had been 1,200 euros, or $1,358, but almost no one took that up. Merkel is hoping she can undo the damage her migrant policy has wrought, and has become increasingly desperate, as she recognizes that something has gone terribly wrong. Hence the 250% increase in the amount her government is now willing to give those migrants who agree to return home.

But will more than a handful agree to return home to their countries if offered a one-time payment of $3,400? Not likely, when the value of everything they currently receive from the German government — housing, medical care, education, and so on — amounts to about 10 times that amount, and is not a one-time benefit, but provided year after year until the recipient is gainfully employed and earning enough to support himself and his family.

The German government will have to do two things. One is the carrot, the other the stick. Raise the amount given to each immigrant who will leave, from 3,000 euros ($3,400) to 10,000 euros. That is the kind of significant, eye-catching increase that will get the attention of immigrants, and assent from many. Yes, its a lot of money, but still a lot less than the $25,000-$35,000 each Middle East immigrant to Germany now costs the government. That’s the carrot.

The other, and more important change, is the stick, or rather, a series of sticks. First, Germany has got to reverse Merkel’s crazed policy of admitting millions of Muslims. It should take its cue from Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia, and stop accepting any more Muslim refugees. They are simply too expensive to maintain. Their educational level is low. Many have no vocational skills. Their prospects for gainful employment are slim. Few Muslim women work outside of the house. They are busy breeding — that is, outbreeding the Infidels in an unrecognized demographic Jihad. Muslim men have much lower rates of employment and much higher rates of criminal activity, including crimes of violence, than do either non-Muslim immigrants or native Germans. Factor in as well the cost of monitoring the Muslim population, including round-the-clock surveillance of those thousands who have already been flagged as ISIS or Al-Qaeda sympathizers, including returnees from the Islamic State.

As for the Muslims who are already in Germany, having been let into the country since 2015, when Merkel admitted one million migrants, the kind of support they have been receiving has to change. Instead of continuing to pay the free-market rent on standard apartments, no different from what lower-middle-class Germans live in, Muslim migrants should be re-assigned to government housing that is as basic as can be, ideally one room for each family, but certainly not more than two rooms, no matter how big the family. Single adults should be required to live communally, four or five to a small apartment.

Instead of providing immigrants with an allowance for food, the food itself should be supplied. It is possible for migrants to live on the most basic staples, as are routinely provided to refugees all over the Third World. Bags of rice and beans, eggs, bread, should be distributed. Right now Muslim migrant families in Germany are allotted the same foods, in the same quantities, as an average German family, the only difference being that the meat they are given is halal. The migrants must understand that the generous German welfare state that they have been exploiting has now come to an end. Instead of an allowance for new clothes, let those migrants be given a much smaller allowance, and told to shop in thrift stores, or perhaps have such used but serviceable clothes distributed to them. We have all had quite enough of seeing migrants rioting for better treatment in the West, while incongruously wearing their designer jeans and expensive sneakers. Muslim immigrants need not be given cell phones or smartphones, nor computers. They will have basic housing, food staples, and used clothes. And if they don’t like that arrangement, they are free to go. The German state will be glad to provide a ticket home.

Furthermore, these migrants could be required to work for the state, as a condition of receiving those benefits of housing and food and clothing. This is not an unreasonable requirement; it has long been in force in many cities and states in this country. That work would also be the most basic: road repairs, cleaning of subway and bus stations, picking up litter by the sides of highways, and similar menial tasks. Those who refuse to fulfill this minimal requirement should be deported, without further discussion, to their countries of origin. At this point, for many Muslim migrants in Germany who object to having such a work requirement (how outrageous can the Infidels be?) that 10,000 euros incentive to leave the country will look increasingly attractive. And Germany’s Ship of State, which had become  a listing Narrenschiff, a Ship of Fools, under the catastrophic captainship of Angela Merkel, might just right itself in time.

Two things this excellent report missed out was one, Merkel is doing a “Blair”, she’s blown the gates off Germany allowing the unwashed and useless in, then before the rioting starts, she’ll leave, bank her huge pension, book a cruise twice a year and write her memoirs for hard cash. Blair would approve. She will not face prosecution for her acts of treason because next year the Marrakesh agreement will be ratified making it law, therefore she gets off scot free.

The second thing is this, Germany {the government} has no money, they have only other peoples money and further more only 15 million Germans earn enough to tax enough to keep the whole state and federal show on the road. The population is around 82 million, and that’s the issue for the over worked over taxed minority.

She will live long enough to witness the destruction of her country she betrayed, but she won’t see the rising smoke, she’ll be too far away.

Maybe some hard up Muslim will rape and behead her too and circulate the video for inspiration to other sick Muslims. They are running out of money, so they are pushing back the retirement age. They know the sheer shiiiiiiit they have brought in is worthless and dumb. So contacts with Iran and China become more valuable. They are cannibalizing the EU too. What’s looming is a nightmare.

No 20 million Germans already paid the price in WW2 by being killed, millions of German girls/women raped and murdered by enemy soldiers, they conquered/robbed/imprisoned/firebombed and so on. The Germans living today are their offspring and are not responsible for Nazism.

They carry the guilt however and did what they could to make amends. In fact it was this guilt which blinded them to the danger of Islam. They thought they were atoning for their sins by allowing backwards peasants to be allowed to into their country.

But this is a lot like the story of the woman and the snake, it turned against her and bit her. So now Germans will become victims of their own stupidity and short-sightedness.

Some of them will deserve it because they fought against rational people who warned them. Though most had no choice but will suffer anyway. This problem could’ve been easily avoided had they thought it through more carefully.

Yes, easily avoided except for laziness: all any European had to do was read at least the first nine suras of that motherload of extreme intolerance and will to slaughter, conquer & plunder called the Qur’an. Then any non-idiot would know that they should not want migrants streaming in that call it divine dictation. Instead they just believed treasonous politicians & clueless media who absurdly insisted that Islam is a “religion of peace” and called you a racist bigot if you objected.

So true, Poppey.
That’s what ALL of them will do. And they will never pay for their crimes, because they never do. They make the rules up as they go along, so legally they can never be tried and punished, as they protect themselves by twisting and corrupting an already twisted and corrupt legal system, which is already stacked in their favour anyway.
The only way we will ever get justice is if we storm the gates, drag them out of wherever they are hiding, and administer it ourselves.

There’s this saying “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince that he doesn’t exist.”
Assuming that Merkel doesn’t follow Muhammadist plotting is dangerous.
German history is censored & few know that Hitler viewed the unjust Muhammadism as ultimate Nazi-religion that as he told his architect Albert Speer would match the German temperament better.
To believe that the immigration of Muhammadists into a European welfare system wasn’t prepared to impose the unjust Muhammad-law is unguarded.
Germany’s pro-Muhammadist history is one thing. Other aspects are Germany’s support for Muhammadist tyrannies, business with Saudi Arabia where Africans are enslaved, atheists killed & clitorisses cut off, business with Iran, support for Turkey, Egypt, Rohingya, for the coalition against Non-muhammadists around Israel & for Pakistan. Germany is also supporting Muhammadism at the UN so it seems like a bonus for Germany to make Germany a stable Muhammadist vote there.

Sung to the tune of Mel Brook’s Springtime For Hitler

Germany was having trouble
What a sad, sad story
Needed a new religion to restore
Its former glory

Where could that ideology be?
What could that religion be?
Merkel looked around and then she found
The religion for you and me
and now it’s

springtime for muslims and liberals
no one is happy or gay
we’re marching to the interfaith
look out here comes the master faith

Springtime for muslims and liberals
winter for sweden and france
Springtime for muslims and liberals
dancing boys go into your dance

(I’m little abdullah and I like sucking face with bearded mullahs)

(hurry up and learn the sunnah better come and join the ummah)

Springtime for muslims and liberals
the adhan’s the new song today
bombs blowing up again
fascism is fashion again

Springtime for muslims and liberals
free speech is no speech once more

Springtime for muslims and liberals
means that we’ll soon be repressed
we’ve got to be oppressed
or soon we’ll be going to war

Fascinating article, which, from my point of view dove tails what is happening with the “caravans” that now are trying to get into the U.S.A. from Mexico and South/Central American countries. Those people are not escaping violence that might justify asylum, they are likely seeking the welfare benefits available to them here in the states. This country cannot afford to feed and clothe the world. We will bankrupt our country.

All their cabal shouldn’t getting any pensions. They grabbed enough. Mooochel appeared on Jessica Parker show in the boots for $3,900 glittering with a stones. She stated that she didn’t want to show off in the very expensive clothes while been a Flotus. For her politically correct image. Lies, fraud all other. How dumb should be this creature to say it from the TV stage? BTW these boots looked fantastic on her/his humongous man’s legs:) I don’t watch such a garbage. Just come across on Facebook. Google it if you wish. It made my day.But it’s just a tip of the iceberg, in comparison with their “hard earned” assets, real estates, lavish travel, personal air planes, etc).

If Germany – sorry – MERKEL – would pay 10’000 Euros to everyone, willing to go “home”, most of them would come back after max. 6 month under completly new and false identity, and entering throug another area of Germoney.
Criminal gangs of any kind are well organised and with 10’000 Euros it’s easy to get “new documents” for a second, third etc. time!
Therefore, this imported “disease” is very difficult, if not impossible to be cured.
The two now “signed” UN-Pact-agreements will not at all help, to stabilize Germany and Europe – they will contribute unpleasant facts to the future of our continent! Most islamic UN countries want to see Europe disappear.

Do they work at all in Germany? Maybe a few of them. If they go on “vacation” to their shitholes, which they left as a “refugees”, so there is no danger for them. Germany shouldn’t let them get back. How stupid could they be not to figure it out?

Great article, you make too much sense Hugh which is why if Merkel read it, would balk at any of these sensible ideas because that woman seems to be drawn to stupidity and dangerous thinking. This seems to be a common strain among Leftists and their ilk.

I think Merkel’s going to run away from the mess she created and lead a quiet life in a posh mansion in some undisclosed location. This would be like an arsonist kid who burned half his school down killing a bunch of students and staff and now pretends he had nothing to do with it.

Before even one migrant jihadi ran into the country like he made it into Jannah (paradise), Germany was already dealing with a very serious crime problem of rapes, beatings, killings of German people by Muslims already living there. Even Merkel declared Muslims were a problem but rather than deport them, she opened the floodgates and let millions more enter.

I think the CDU is going to flounder around because they are completely clueless as well as a bunch of fascists who want to crush people who have better ideas. Germany’s only hope is to elect a center-right party the AfD, only they have the rationality to fix this terrible mess. The same problem we see in France, UK, Canada, Sweden and so on.

There still remains a small window of opportunity to right this listing ship peacefully but failure to do so will mean hell on Earth for the people in Europe, esp when the Muslim numbers skyrocket due to massive birth rates and migration-which the EU, UN are trying to push into overdrive. They see Europe is weak, fat, rich and ripe for Islamic conquest and they’re going full bore in their invasion.

Good article. But, why does it cost the US twice as much per refugee as it does in Germany. Probably because we pay the “churches” huge fees to help resettle them. In 2016 the catholic church alone made over 93 million in this scam. Build the wall here and tear down the wall around the vatican.

The Syrian, Iraqui, and Afghan wars are over. The USA is withdrawing along with the allies. Now,is the time to remove these refugees to their home countries. What more do they need than a ticket and their possessions? They are needed to rebuild their countries.If they need further assistance let it be provided in Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan through their own nation’s agencies. Time to return so they can enjoy their new freedoms,whatever that may be.

Likely after the Muslim migrants have been in Germany for a few years, probably 5 or 10, the EU will admit Turkey, to appease the Muslims and assure them that if they are not assimilating into Germany, then Germany and the EU will assimilate into the Muslim world. This would be the obvious outcome of the increasing presence of Muslims throughout Europe and the EU. The Germans being primarily a people not wanting any further violence will assimilate into Islam.

Britain will likely be out of the EU by then, but will be knocking at the door to get back in.

I would not myself as what they get is more than my pension and I get no housing assistance either plus paying for my health care. If I could turn myself into a migrant a la Sinaid O’ I could improve my lot enormously!
