RRW Weekly roundup for week ending September 5, 2015

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

It would be an understatement to say that this issue, which has been bubbling just under the surface for the last eight years I’ve followed it (and for years before that I am sure), is finally making center stage thanks to the migrant invasion of Europe we are watching before our very eyes!
I didn’t get around to my weekly roundup over the weekend because writing about the news is so much more fun!
However, I know some of you look for the roundup, so here it is!   Also, it is an opportunity for me to give some instructions to our many new readers about how RR works, where to find information and so forth.
If things continue like this we will be breaking all records in terms of readership this month.
By the way, our original youtube video is now up to 1.4 million views.  65,000! Syrians is at 12,600 and it needs to get around more because the lobbying push is on by the resettlement contractors to get that many or more into the US before Obama leaves office!

Don’t forget!  Please sign the petition!  

Here are the Top Three Posts of last week (top daily posts in the right hand sidebar):

1)Why should US/Europe take Syrian refugees while Gulf Arab states take ZERO?

2)Our fact sheet (which needs updating!)

3)Petition to the White House: Bring in 65,000 mostly Muslim Syrians to live permanently in US!

 

Here are the Top Ten Countries from which readers arrived at RRW during last week:

UK

Canada

Australia

Germany

Norway

India

New Zealand

Netherlands

Ireland

Sweden

For new readers!

Since we get new readers every day, here is my usual spiel with two points I need to continue to make:
First, we do screen our comments (sometimes I don’t get to them right away!) and I don’t post any that threaten any kind of violence or ones filled with foul language.  An occasional expletive might slip in if the comment is otherwise a good one.  You are always free to disagree with our point of view if you follow those two simple rules.

And the other thing I want to mention is about e-mails that come to you every time we post.  They come directly from wordpress to subscribers.  We don’t send out e-mails.  So, if we are posting too much for your e-mail inbox, then just unsubscribe and visit RRW when you have the time.  I understand completely about too many e-mails!  You might want to simply follow us on twitter or on facebook (below).
This is where you can find information (in addition to our fact sheet). We have over 6,800 posts.

*  See our categories (left hand sidebar, now a drop-down)
*  Also, we have a great search function and since the categories go all the way back to our first posts more than eight years ago, use the search window with a few key words.  You might want to first try your city, state, or country to see what we have reported from there over the years.
Readers from Europe should search for key words ‘Invasion of Europe’ for all of our many posts on the migration crisis on the Continent.
By the way, our category entitled ‘where to find information’ is filled with reports and documents, but with 377 posts archived there, it is pretty unwieldy now.
Past weekly roundups can be found in our category entitled ‘blogging.’
If you wish to be notified when we post, consider subscribing or follow us on twitter (@refugeewatcher) or facebook (RefugeeInfoResource).  ‘Like us’ on facebook! (We are no longer posting every story we write at RRW to facebook so as not to overload your facebook feed either.)  We also have some content on facebook that isn’t posted here first, so like us and follow us (I do have a volunteer helper at facebook—Kelly Monroe Kullberg).
I’m trying to be better about tweeting, so please follow me!  I’ve even begun displaying my twitter feed in the right hand side bar here at RRW.
And apologies to all who e-mail and comment, sorry if I don’t respond much, there are just not enough hours in my day!
Thanks to all of you for following RRW.  The subject is on fire (maybe you have noticed)!
P.S.  I am off to DC shortly and will be gone until late on Tuesday, September 8th.  I’ll be making a presentation on this topic to a large group.  I’m mentioning this because I will be even worse than usual at answering anything or posting comments.

Comment from a Brit: We are headed for a disaster of epic proportions

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Editor:  This is a comment we received from a regular reader ‘misterpaul5a’ to this post this morning.  To say he is frustrated would be a gross understatement. The events of the last week should be galvanizing all of us to do more, to dig deeper into our reserves of energy, to save Western Civilization for OUR children and grandchildren.
Misterpaul5a (we have broken the text into paragraphs for easier reading and highlighting is mine):

Once again Cameron has reneged on a promise. “We will not be taking refugees, we will be taking refugees”, “we will reduce immigrants to TENS OF THOUSANDS” (as if that were not thousands more than we need) instead of which we took in ,wait for it, 350,000. These people simply have no SHAME. What a coward he is proving to be. In the Obama mold to a great extent The man is a pathetic puppet being pulled this way and that by forces we do not see but certainly devoid of courage.

Securing a future for the British people or for the Muslim migrants? David Cameron caves: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/04/david-cameron-syrian-refugees-uk-will-take-thousands-more

The only person we can trust in British politics today is Nigel Farage. The only person in the USA, Donald Trump.

Without a shadow of doubt we are heading for a disaster of EPIC proportions unless there is a complete sea-change in our handling of this massive fraud perpetrated on the civilized West.

This state of affairs just cannot continue. I have been of a conservative nature all of my life until fairly recently, having chosen the UKIP path a couple of years ago. BUT! There MUST be a revolt by the people who really keep our countries afloat, and that is the put-upon guys and gals who, whether they like it or not, are having their hard- earned funds, in the form of taxes, snatched away from them at every turn – simply to be spent on a work-shy, bed-hopping, alcohol -swilling, dope-peddling, self-centred underclass of Orwellian proportions.

I am no longer able to carry the flag forward at any great pace – my batteries are running down. But even at my age I know I would be able to lend a hand to those true folk who are willing to, take up the challenge and oust the self-seeking jerks who call themselves ‘politicians’ – what a grubby, lying, greedy breed they are.

And the most shameful thing of all in the coming years will be those among us who will further disgrace our ranks by putting their crosses against the names of Muslims both in the USA and in Europe on voting slips, thus contributing to our own impending downfall.

NO! I have NOT given-in! But the stark warning I have been giving in these pages, consistently since I joined the discussions, is that we cannot blame anyone but ourselves for the tragedies to come – our kids and grandchildren will curse their elders til the end of time if the challenge of the evil of Islam is not faced – AND NOW!

We have a special category, here, for comments worth highlighting and guest commentary. This post is filed there.
By the way, you can be sure that Obama will not allow himself to be upstaged by Angela Merkel and David Cameron, so watch for a dreadful announcement from the White House this month.

Dead toddler's father wanted to go to Europe to get new teeth!

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Invasion of Europe…..it isn’t going to end soon!

The world has been riveted by the sad photo of a dead toddler on a Turkish beach.  In fact, that very photo, being used as propaganda, may ultimately be responsible for the destruction of Europe as we know it and ultimately for the resettlement of 65,000 or more! Syrian refugees (mostly Muslims) in your towns in the coming months.

father of drowned boy
The disgusting man who risked his family’s life to get his teeth fixed for free in Europe!

Now, here comes none other than the Wall Street Journal telling us that the family was safe in Turkey and that the selfish father wanted to get a new set of teeth in Europe.
But, first here is ‘Bare Naked Islam’ with a more colorful telling (hat tip: Joanne):

The little Syrian boy drowned because his father wanted to get a full set of teeth implants for free in Europe.

The images of the toddler’s lifeless body on a Turkish beach have reverberated across the globe, stirring public outrage and embarrassing political leaders as far away as Canada, where authorities had rejected an asylum application from the boy’s relatives. (They were NOT fleeing Syria, they were safe in Turkey, so no reason for Canada to take them in)

So, this Syrian family, the Kurdis, was safe and secure in a Turkish town for 3 years after leaving Syria. They were well fed, sheltered and so on. Then the father of the family, Abdullah, was like “oh man, I need new teeth. These Turks are not going to give me squat. Let’s all get in a rickety boat and go to Greece, where we’ll find some good-hearted Christians to give me a new set of teeth implants…for FREE”

From the Wall Street Journal:

From his hospital bed on Wednesday, Mr. Kurdi told a Syrian radio station that he had worked on construction sites for 50 Turkish lira (roughly $17) a day, but it wasn’t enough to live on. He said they depended on his sister, Tima Kurdi, who lived in Canada, for help paying the rent.

Ms. Kurdi, speaking Thursday in a Vancouver suburb, said that their father, still in Syria [presumably still safe!—ed], had suggested Abdullah go to Europe to get his damaged teeth fixed and find a way to help his family leave Turkey. She said she began wiring her brother money three weeks ago, in €1,000 ($1,100) amounts, to help pay for the trip. [to pay people smugglers!—ed]

Shortly after, she said her brother called her and said he wanted to bring his whole family to Europe, as his wife wasn’t able to support their two boys alone in Istanbul.

“If we go, we go all of us,” Ms. Kurdi recounted him telling her. She said she spoke to his wife last week, who told her she was scared of the water and couldn’t swim.

“I said to her, ‘I cannot push you to go. If you don’t want to go, don’t go,’” she said. “But I guess they all decided they wanted to do it all together.”

SOB!
Do you think this truth will ever get out to all those who are using that sad photo for their political ends?

Did facebook take down "horror story" at Italy/Austria border?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Invasion of Europe news….

Update!  A reader has let us know that it was Gates of Vienna that first reported this news directly from one of their correspondents, go here for even more detail!
Yesterday a reader sent me a facebook posting translated from Polish and we see that it was also posted at The Conservative Treehouse/The last refuge by blogger Sundance.  This morning as I began to post on the “horror story,” and attempted to visit the facebook page, I’m getting a notice that the “content is not available.”  Has facebook taken it down?

migrants-getty
On the march to Austria and Germany! The Independent calls them “refugees.” 75% are men! What do they look like to you?http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/refugee-crisis-six-charts-that-show-where-refugees-are-coming-from-where-they-are-going-and-how-they-are-getting-to-europe-10482415.html

What do you get when you click here?
If you learn more about this, let us know.
Here (below) is a portion of the “horror story,” but please visit Sundance at the The Conservative Treehouse for more and for additional commentary.

“Half an hour ago on the border between Italy and Austria i saw a huge crowd of immigrants. With all solidarity to people in difficult circumstances I have to say that what I saw arouses horror.This huge mass of people – sorry – but it’s an absolute wilderness … Vulgar, throwing bottles, shouting “We want Germany”. So what, Germany is now a paradise?

I saw an elderly Italian woman in a car that was surrounded by the immigrants. They pulled her by the hair out of the car and wanted to use it to go to Germany. They tried to topple the bus i was in. They threw feces at us, banging on the door for the driver to open it, spat on the glass. My question is- for what purpose? How do they want to assimilate in Germany? For a moment, i felt like in a warzone. I really feel sorry for these people, but if they would reach Poland – I do not think they would receive any understanding from us.

We spent three hours on the border, but failed to get through. The whole group was later transported back to Italy by the police. The bus is butchered, feces smeared, scratched, broken windows. And this is supposed to be an idea for the demographics? These big powerful hordes?

Continue reading here.  The horror story gets worse….
The UNHCR confirms that 75% are men.
By the way, the US State Department processes refugees out of Austria!  I sure hope we aren’t going to be flying men like these to the US!

Wealthy Gulf Arab States fear terrorism, so doors are closed to refugees

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Invasion of Europe news continued…..

gulf-states-640x438-640x480
While you are looking at this map at Breitbart, consider that Turkey is allowing ‘refugees’ to pass through and launch boats into the Aegean Sea so that thousands of the migrants can reach Greece. Why isn’t anyone criticizing Turkey? Or, turning the boats back to Turkey?

 
Breitbart has more news on a topic that obviously interests you.  Our post from last week, Why should US/Europe take Syrian refugees while Gulf Arab states take ZERO?, was visited by over 6,000 readers in a couple of days.  So what do the Gulf States know that we don’t, maybe that the “refugee” stream is composed of 75% men of fighting age!  Here is Breitbart:

Five of the wealthiest Muslim countries have taken no Syrian refugees in at all, arguing that doing so would open them up to the risk of terrorism. Although the oil rich countries have handed over aid money, Britain has donated more than Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar combined.

No time today to linger, read it all here!
