The rallies in favor of the unlimited and immediate reception of all immigrants from Greece are increasingly infiltrated by left-wing (migrantifa) and anti-Semitic extremists. This became very obvious last weekend at a demonstration in Frankfurt.

Our Tweet of the week comes from the well-known television journalist, author, editor, filmmaker and war correspondent Düzen Tekkal.

She tweets:

“Where anti-Semitic slogans are shouted, I would never participate. Since I am not the only one to do so, this harms the cause of a more humane refugee policy. After the attack on the Jewish student in Hamburg, such incidents intensify the feeling of being threatened.”

The reason for this clear positioning: During the Refugee welcome march on the occasion of Moria/Lesbos, not only nationalist flags could be seen, but also anti-Semitic slogans could be heard: “Free Palestine-From the River to the Sea” implies that the whole of Israel should be made ” free of Jews”.

Other participants even report of “Israel Jews-free” shouts at the “Moria march” in Frankfurt.

The Twitter video seems to be an excerpt from this longer video posted on Instagram:

Ahmad Mansour on the behavior of these activists: “Their international solidarity is selective. It is not for charity to the refugees, but because it makes them feel more moral.For the Jews in Israel this solidarity is not intended. Not even if they are threatened daily by terror & rockets”.

At least this raises the question:What is your attitude to this anti-Semitism you pro refugee activists, “Seebrücke”, “Migrantifa” and Enissa Amani? And if you clearly disapprove of it, then please say so clearly. Without such a distancing, you might get the impression that you are in favor of such ideologies within the Refugee Welcome movement!

And, of course, Malca Goldstein-Wolf is right when she asks: “What else must actually happen so that leftist and Muslim anti-Semitism becomes a topic for the ” Tagesschau”?

In an encyclical published on Sunday, Pope Francis announced that he’d had an epiphany thanks to the Wuhan virus: It’s time to ditch capitalism. But that’s not all. He believes, too, that in a time of a serious infectious disease, we should focus even harder on open borders.  And he blithely upended almost two millennia of Church doctrine by doing away with St. Augustine’s “just war”theory.

These actions reflect Francis’s Catholic upbringing within the communist “liberation theology” of the Latin American church. They may also show the effects of his ongoing alliance with Chinese communists and with Muslims.

Fox Business sums up the gist of Francis’s communist dreams (emphasis mine):

“Aside from the differing ways that various countries responded to the crisis, their inability to work together became quite evident,” Francis wrote. “Anyone who thinks that the only lesson to be learned was the need to improve what we were already doing, or to refine existing systems and regulations, is denying reality.”

He cited the grave loss of millions of jobs as a result of the virus as evidence of the need for politicians to listen to popular movements, unions and marginalized groups and to craft more just social and economic policies.

“The fragility of world systems in the face of the pandemic has demonstrated that not everything can be resolved by market freedom,” he wrote. “It is imperative to have a proactive economic policy directed at ‘promoting an economy that favours productive diversity and business creativity’ and makes it possible for jobs to be created, and not cut.”’

As an outgrowth of that, Francis rejected the concept of an absolute right to property for individuals, stressing instead the “social purpose” and common good that must come from sharing the Earth’s resources. He repeated his criticism of the “perverse” global economic system, which he said consistently keeps the poor on the margins while enriching the few — an argument he made most fully in his 2015 landmark environmental encyclical “Laudato Sii” (Praised Be).

I know from experience that, when people read what Francis wrote, many will say that the church has always been socialist in orientation. That’s untrue. Jesus distinguished the realm of faith from the political realm. When he spoke of giving up property, he was speaking to individuals, not calling for communism.

Francis also fails to recognize that our current economic problems aren’t because the free market failed. They’re because leftists slammed the brakes on the free market.

The Pope used this encyclical to reiterate his endless push to erase borders:

Much of the new encyclical repeats Francis’ well-known preaching about the need to welcome and value migrants and his rejection of the nationalistic, isolationist policies of many of today’s political leaders.

Lastly, the Pope seeks something he calls a greater “human fraternity.” In doing so, he relies upon a document he composed with the grand imam of Egypt’s Al-Azhar.

The Pope is perhaps too naïve to recognize that, in Islam, the house of fraternity and peace (Dar al-Islam) is a world in which everyone is Islamic. Outside of the Islamic world is the world of war (Dar al-Harb), and every faithful Muslim must wage jihad to achieve that “peaceful,” fraternal world. Or, as Tacitus wrote when quoting Calgacus, a Caledonian who fought Rome’s imperial reach, “they [the Romans] make a desert and call it peace.”

Pope Francis, bathed in ahistorical ignorance, also concluded that there can be no “just wars”:

“It is very difficult nowadays to invoke the rational criteria elaborated in earlier centuries to speak of the possibility of a ‘just war,’” Francis wrote in the most controversial new element of the encyclical.

Both the Chinese and the Islamists must be delighted to read those words. Hitler would have liked them too. Had Frances been in the Papacy during WWII, all of Europe would have been enslaved to Germany, and all Jews, not just six million, would have been slaughtered. Homosexuals, gypsies, people with mental and physical disabilities, and anyone else that the Germans dehumanized would have also found their way to the gas chambers.

As with everything he’s done since attaining the papal throne, Frances intends to undo all of the good work that the great John Paul II did in pursuit of human freedom and dignity.

The German federal government will offer €64.5 billion over the next four years to deal with the consequences of the influx of migrants since 2015, with the money focused on integrating migrants and stopping the sources of flight, according to data from the German Finance Ministry.

For the year 2021 alone, the German Ministry of Finance is planning to spend €20.1 billion, reported Der Spiegel.

The majority of the financial resources will be used to combat the reasons why people migrant from their countries of origin, with €25.4 billion directed towards this purpose by 2024. This money could be used, for example, to build schools, infrastructure, and programs to reduce corruption in Third World countries, in order to encourage people to have less reason to flee.

Finance Minister Olaf Scholz (SPD) wants to spend another €8.2 billion on integration measures. At the same time, social benefits for migrants in Germany will amount to €22.9 billion.

Given the enormous economic consequences of the coronavirus crisis, which the German state has already reacted to by spending billions, the extra cost of migrants is sure to raise questions about the sustainability of such spending over the long-term. 

Hungary has in the past encouraged more aid to countries at their source, and has launched its own initiatives through the Hungary Helps program. In a blog post this year for Hungary Helps, MEP György Hölvényi wrote that migration can be halted with the right financial aid to poorer countries.

“First we must create security and stability, without which sustainable development is impossible to achieve. In order to provide long-term solutions, we must also invest in education and tuition to help alleviate one of the key problems of African economies: the lack of an educated workforce,” he wrote. “An educated workforce in healthcare and other sectors of the economy is instrumental in reinforcing local communities and contribute to building a more stable and sustainable society and economy.”

Although there is hope that such aid programs could help stem the migrant wave from the Middle East and Africa, the rapidly growing populations in those regions coupled with endemic corruption, could mean that another massive wave could hit Europe over the coming years. The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) indicates that 1.2 billion individuals could be displaced due to food and water shortages over the next 30 years, with many of them setting course for Europe and North America. 

Last week, the German Ministry of Labor reported that refugees and their family members cost the state€6 billion every year. The information was released in response to a parliamentary request from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

In May alone, the social costs for unemployed and low-income migrants and their family and household members amounted to more than €551 million euros. 

Germany has also paid enormous costs for training, employing and integrating refugees. In 2018, the German government spent a record €23 billion on migrants, including rent subsidies, jobless payments, language lessons, and other benefits. That figure does not account for what individual states spent either, with Hamburg’s government releasing data showing it spent €5.35 billion on asylum seekers between 2015 and the end of 2019. 

Migrants have also affected Germans in a variety of ways that may not show up in the German Finance Ministry data, but they are undoubtedly important to assessing the overall impact of Germany’s migrant crisis. For example, an elderly German couple was recently evicted from their home of 25 years in order to make room for refugees, which is just one of many such eviction cases.

At the same time, Germany has spent enormous law enforcement resources, both in terms of time and money, monitoring jihadists. For example, Germans have already spent €5 million to ensure 24/7 surveillance and a four-officer police detail to ensure one high-risk radical Islamist does not commit a terrorist attack in the country. The disproportionately high amount of migrant crime has also cost the state enormous resources.

Things continue to look good for President Trump as doctors now say he could be released from Walter Reed Medical Center as early as Monday.

Trump has remained without a fever since Friday, and assuming his condition continues to improve, Trump will be able to return to the White House while continuing treatment.“Today he feels well. He’s been up and around,” said Dr. Brian Garibaldi of Walter Reed Medical Center. “If he continues to look and feel as well as he does today our hope is that we can plan for a discharge as early as tomorrow.”

This is the first time we’ve gotten any potential date of discharge for President Trump since arriving at Walter Reed Medical Center.
