EU is today at difficult crossroads. Renewed migration flows are placing pressure on social systems and political cohesion across continent.Kieran MCGRATH (Oriental Review)
Whose lesson and why learn?
The magic formula of economic and political stability in the US (near stagnation of any significant attempt to change) is race/ethnic tensions and endemic unemployment matched with lack of welfare/unemployment support mechanisms. This gets defused in a reactionary army of contrabankd/black-market/magia/gangsterism that is also a stability ingredient. It keeps the middle class in fear and in need of brutal police and massive revolving door prison systems.
Europe needed this to match the conservativism and stability of exploitation and oppression mechanisms that increase inequality. This is something desired and pursued by the upper class. The induced wars in the periphery provided the necessary social pressure to keep Europeans more manageable, more conservative, more in fear and insecurity, so the state can play pimp.
All this can only get worse towards their goal. Social cannibalism is a lucrative business for those that can exploit it.

in reply to Acta Populi • • •The one weak point in dealing with W,European/N.American elite is they have been doing the same thing over and over again for many years (5centuries to be more precise).
They set up their game, they invite you to play, they either win and say I am sorry you lost, or if you win they take it from you by force. They have one track mind.
So if you use this as bait they will bite bait, hook, line, and shinker, and I trust the wise people of CP-China to make the catch and bring peace to the planet.
