A Bilderberg look into the current situation

"Losers have votes, too. That is what democracy means — and rightly so. If they feel sufficiently cheated and humiliated, they will vote for Donald Trump, a candidate for the Republican party’s presidential nomination in the US, Marine Le Pen of the National Front in France or Nigel Farage of the UK Independence party. There are those, particularly the native working class, who are seduced by the siren song of politicians who combine the nativism of the hard right, the statism of the hard left and the authoritarianism of both.

Above all, they [the economic losers] reject the elites that dominate the economic and cultural lives of their countries: those assembled last week in Davos for the World Economic Forum. The potential consequences are frightening. Elites need to work out intelligent responses. It might already be too late to do so. The projects of the rightwing elite have long been low marginal tax rates, liberal immigration, globalisation, curbs on costly “entitlement programmes”, deregulated labour markets and maximisation of shareholder value. The projects of the leftwing elite have been liberal immigration (again), multiculturalism, secularism, diversity, choice on abortion, and racial and gender equality. Libertarians embrace the causes of the elites of both sides; that is why they are a tiny minority.

In the process, elites have become detached from domestic loyalties and concerns, forming instead a global super-elite. It is not hard to see why ordinary people, notably native-born men, are alienated. They are losers, at least relatively; they do not share equally in the gains. They feel used and abused. After the financial crisis and slow recovery in standards of living, they see elites as incompetent and predatory. The surprise is not that many are angry but that so many are not."


And the following passage may give a glimpse on why the elites are so eagerly defending open borders for the refugees:

"Finally, the share of immigrants in populations has jumped sharply. It is hard to argue that this has brought large economic, social and cultural benefits to the mass of the population. But it has unquestionably benefited those at the top, including business."

Martin Wolf, in the Financial Times.

PS: What he says about Trump: "Mr Trump, Republican ideologues complain, is not a true conservative. That is indeed the point. He is a populist."

The Elites Want More Refugees

"IMF says refugee influx could provide EU economic boost.

Migration into Europe could lift GDP via greater state spending and long-term boost to jobs market with negative effects short-lived, says report.

The IMF called on EU governments to help refugees into the job market by easing restrictions on taking up work during the asylum application. Other suggestions include wage subsidies to private employers and temporary exceptions to minimum or entry-level wages, as well as startup funds for immigrant entrepreneurs." [The Guardian]

This links with two previous articles we wrote: about Refugees (read the reference about Peter Sutherland) and about Merkel being praised by the elites media.

Why TPTB ♥ Merkel?

The Economist (owned by the Rothschild and other families), says Merkel is "the indisensable European" for her Open Doors policy for refugees.

But why have "the powers that be", fallen so madly in love with Merkel? This could be the reason:

"The German Chancellor told the Funke consortium of newspapers: "The right to political asylum has no limits on the number of asylum seekers."

"As a strong, economically healthy country we have the strength to do what is necessary" and ensure every asylum seeker gets a fair hearing", she said." [Sky]


"On Tuesday last week, Germany declared that any Syrian who reaches the country can claim asylum there. In the days that followed, 25,000 arrived at Munich central station and that number is growing fast. Some trains from Austria have been diverted to other German cities to ease the pressure. Merkel now wants to use her clout to distribute these refugees around Europe — arguing that EU plans to resettle 160,000 may not be sufficient." [The Spectator]

Some "left" media, like The Guardian, try to sell us Merkel's policy as opposed to liberalism: "Confronted by forces that would overwhelm British leaders, the woman the Greek left (and many on the British left who should know better) mistakenly accuse of being the leading advocate of conservative neoliberalism has stood up to be counted. Being the country to which so many want to migrate should be a source of pride, she says. She wants to keep Germany and Europe open, to welcome legitimate asylum seekers in common humanity, while doing her very best to stop abuse and keep the movement to manageable proportions."

But the truth is completely the opposite: liberals want migrants to come, as Peter Sutherland revealed.
