EU war plans to keep Europe White

EU Plans War to Keep Europe White

The original article below was written by U.S. journalist/activist Glen Ford and originally published on Black Agenda Report. In light of the continual flow of migrants to Europe from Africa/Middle East, the world has turned its attention to the Mediterranean Sea. Europe must realize that it is not an island onto itself. Migrants braving human traffickers, exhortation, rape, death threats and indifferent world is proving that Fortress Europe has loopholes like all barbwire border walls and fortified countries. Even Switzerland is not immune to the migration tragedy and the affects of butterfly's wings. European countries do not mind taking the raw resources (coltane, gold, uranium, petroleum or oil, holistic and herbal plants for longevity)from across Africa, Middle East and Asia. Than adding value to the resources by transforming them into technological and crucial products while selling the same products at exacerbation rates back to the resource rich countries. Frustrated Portuguese are going to Angola to search for better economic and business opportunities, running up with competition with local workforce. Western NGOs and technocrats are embraced in many African and Middle Eastern countries by local governments who often times ignore their own citizen technocrats for what the government sees as the best of the best from the Global North. The EU and US under NATO are taking a military approach to Africa/Middle East. Local rebel groups and movements against corrupt governments are seen as terrorists by default even when their fight is legit under International Law. African armies and the African Union who have been intervening in previous conflicts are regarded as infant armies or lacking the political will to tackle the remaining continental wars. Although both AU and many regional blocs ECOWAS have experience in conflict meditation and peace brokering. The United States and NATO have sent their respective troops and drones to the disagreement and anger of citizens across Africa and parts of the Middle East. After all this, African and Asian migrants (Afro-Asia) some who can't return home easily due to extreme persecution, war and NATO bombings ie Yemen, Libya, Sudan, Syria are met by EU governments with contempt and annoyances as though the manifestation of chaos theory playing out in their respective countries are entirely the migrants' own faults.

For more than 500 years, Europeans have invaded and looted the planet, yet their home civilizations are deemed so fragile that they must be insulated against the cultures of the formerly colonized peoples. Having created millions of Muslim and African war refugees, the Europeans now gear up to attack the boats that might bring them to Europe.

EU Plans War to Keep Europe White

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by BAR executive editor Glen Ford

“The thousands of deaths at sea are crimes of Europe and the United States.”

The United States has been the big, bad leader of the imperial world for so long, we may sometimes forget that most of the evils that beset our world have their origins in Europe, a small corner of the Earth that has for 500 years grown fat off the blood and resources of the rest of the planet. This Europe is a greedy little place, most of whose inhabitants believe they have somehow earned what they have stolen from the world’s darker peoples, and that they are entitled to continue stealing in perpetuity.

In 2011, in league with the United States, European members of NATO launched a totally unprovoked 7-month bombing campaign against Libya, resulting in the murder of Col. Muammar Gaddafi and the empowerment of Islamist jihadists throughout the northern tier of the African continent. Col. Gaddafi had warned that the Euro-American aggression would turn Libya into another Somalia, with vast numbers of people desperately fleeing across the Mediterranean Sea to escape the turmoil. Gaddafi was right, of course. Not only has Libya been reduced to a state of sheer anarchy and terror, but thanks to Europe and the United States, Hell has descended on Syria, and conditions in Somalia have grown even worse. The Europeans and their American cousins are intent on wiping out every vestige of civilization in the Muslim world – all the while spouting the same twisted, racist logic that they have employed for half a millennium: that Muslims and Africans are unsuited to civilization, and must be guided by the white hands of Europe, for their own good.

“Col. Gaddafi warned that the Euro-American aggression would turn Libya into another Somalia.”

The refugee crisis, the thousands of deaths at sea, are crimes of Europe and the United States. The Euro-Americans are just as unquestionably guilty as the arsonist who sets the fire that causes apartment dwellers to jump to their deaths from high windows to escape the flames. Now, the nations of the European Union, all 28 of them, are backing plans to launch air and naval attacks against boats in the ports of Libya and on the high seas, to make sure that the refugees that Europe and America have created do not wind up on European shores. This new war against Libya will not be to destroy a secular regime, or to grab oil fields, but a war to keep Europe white. On this the Europeans can unite. They argue only about how to distribute among themselves the Muslim and African refugees that somehow do manage to make landfall. They must be scattered across the map. European civilization is a fragile thing. Although the British, French, Spaniards, Portuguese, Belgians, Dutch, Danes and Germans have looted, raped and massacred every people they have encountered since the early 1400s, their own societies cannot tolerate more than a token exposure to former colonized cultures. In addition to the riches of the world, the Europeans demand racial exclusivity on their home turf.

So today, they prepare to beat back by military force the most desperate victims of previous Euro-American crimes. And they have the colossal gall to call it a “humanitarian” operation.

Now add economic crisis and popular right wing and even liberal scapegoating of migrants to migration tragedy you barely scratch the surface of migration issue in Europe.
