The same people who promote wars, promote open doors for refugees

In spanish public opinion, there is the common believe that islamic terrorism started with the invasion of Iraq. It was an illegal stupid move, but islamic terrorism is quite much older. At least, in its current form, its origin can be traced to another american intervention, in Afghanistan, against the USSR.

But the funny point, is how spanish public opinion believe that those people, the ones who "create" wars, oppose opening doors to refugees, when the fact is, that truth is exactly the opposite.

We have written here about many examples of Bilderberg promoting inmigration in Europe (also in the sahpe of refugees) (the most obvious and undeniable is Peter Sutherland), but let's put it in a simple image:

Goldman Sachs - Draghi - ECB - Merkel - The Economist

"Draghi was then vice chairman and managing director of Goldman Sachs International and a member of the firm-wide management committee (2002–2005).

A few days later [2011] The Economist [owned by the Cadbury, Rothschild, Schroder, Agnelli and other families] wrote that "the next president of the world’s second-most-important central bank should be Mario Draghi". On 20 April 2011 The Wall Street Journal reported that "Wolfgang Schäuble, Germany's finance minister [of Angela Merkel's government], is open to Mr. Draghi for the post of ECB President". A few days later the German newspaper Bild endorsed Draghi by defining him the "most German of all remaining candidates". Contrary to previous reports about France's position, on 25 April it was reported that President Nicolas Sarkozy saw Draghi as a full-fledged and an adequate candidate for the job.

On 17 May 2011 the Council of the European Union – sitting as Ecofin – adopted a recommendation on the nomination of Draghi as President of the ECB. He was approved by the European Parliament and the ECB itself and on 24 June 2011 his appointment was confirmed by the European leaders.

Draghi is a trustee at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey and also at the Brookings Institution, in Washington, D.C." [Wikipedia]


About the Brookings Institution...

"The Brookings Institution is an American think tank based on Embassy Row in Washington, D.C., USA. One of Washington's oldest think tanks, Brookings conducts research and education in the social sciences, primarily in economics, metropolitan policy, governance, foreign policy, and global economy and development. In the University of Pennsylvania's 2014 Global Go To Think Tanks Report, Brookings is ranked the most influential think tank in the world.

Its stated mission is to "provide innovative and practical recommendations that advance three broad goals: strengthen American democracy; foster the economic and social welfare, security and opportunity of all Americans; and secure a more open, safe, prosperous, and cooperative international system"

Along with the Council on Foreign Relations and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Brookings is generally considered one of the most influential policy institutes in the U.S.

As of 2014 the Brookings Institution had assets of $496 million. Its largest contributors include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Hutchins Family Foundation, JPMorgan Chase, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, David Rubenstein, State of Qatar, and John L. Thornton.

The Qatari government was named by The New York Times as "the single biggest foreign donor to Brookings"" [Wikipedia]

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.

Look around Europe, and one leader stands above all the rest: Angela Merkel https://t.co/BTC2RPkYgW pic.twitter.com/93K49UWW9z

— The Economist (@TheEconomist) 8 novembre, 2015

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.

Is Decentralisation the Cause of All Problems of Spain?

"Much of this stems from Spain’s exaggerated decentralisation. The democratic constitution’s creation of 17 autonomous regions tried to reverse Franco’s heavy-handed centralisation, while keeping enough national control to satisfy the right, long nervous about self-government of Basques, Catalans and Galicians. In fact it has led to waste in public spending and to 17 sets of business regulations, fragmenting the national market and increasing costs. And it has failed to settle Spain’s historic quarrels: Basque and Catalan nationalists have exploited their status as coalition partners of the two main parties to demand ever more powers.

Mr Rajoy’s absolute majority in parliament plus his party’s control over many of Spain’s regions could allow him to start rolling back this trend. He should be cheered that a new centrist group which split from the Socialists in protest over Mr Zapatero’s toadying to the regions took almost 5% of the vote. Although Basque separatists, boosted by the end of ETA’s terrorism, and Catalan nationalists also did well, one lesson of the euro crisis applies also at home: too much splintering makes governing an economic union harder." [The Economist]


The key point is that there is not even one real reason or argument given in the article to prove why decentralisation is such a big problem for spanish economy. Only the vague suggestion that decentralisation causes implies lesser speed of reaction. Although the politics developed by the catalan nationalist administration prove the opposite.

Even more, given the fact that the article absolutely ignores the efforts made by Catalonia to restrain its economic spending (the toughest by far made by any admministration in Spain) it comes the suspicion that there could be an interested purpose in the article, and not a healthy journalist job.

The Economist i els tres contractes que vinculen Sandro Rosell amb possibles casos de corrupció al Brasil

"The Economist publica aquesta setmana un nou article en el qual afirma haver tingut accés als contractes que invulocren Sandro Rosell en una trama corrupta al voltant de la Federació Brasilera de Futbol.

Els fets ja eren coneguts. Al 2008 es va organitzar a Brasília un partit amistós entre Portugal i Brasil. Ricardo Teixeira, president de la Federació Brasilera de Futbol i del comitè organitzador del mundial ha estat acusat de desviar fons de l'organització d'aquest partit a empreses de la seva propietat i a associats seus.

Tot i que aquest cas ja fa temps que és als tribunals i se'n parla abundantment, el setmanari britànic afirma ara haver accedit a tres contractes que involucren directament Sandro Rosell." [Vilaweb]
