European Muslim Invasion -- Background (my title)
http://perezreverte.com ^ | Arturo Pérez-Reverte (translated)
Posted on 10/21/2015, 11:31:27 PM by steve86
In the year 376 AD, an enormous mass of men, women and children appeared on the Danube frontier of the Roman Empire. They were refugee Goths who sought asylum, pressed by the advancing hordes of Attila. For several reasons - among others, that Rome was no longer what it had been - they were allowed to enter the territory of the Empire and were not exterminated, enslaved or conquered, as according to the custom of the time had happened to previous waves of immigrant peoples. In the following months, those refugees discovered that the Roman Empire was not Paradise, that the governors were weak and corrupt, that there was not wealth and food for all, and that injustice and greed were fattening upon them. And so, two years after crossing the Danube, these same Goths killed Roman Emperor Valens and destroyed his army at the battle of Adrianople. And ninety-eight years later, their grandchildren dethroned Romulus Augustulus, the last Roman Emperor, and liquidated what remained of the Roman Empire.
What the West faces has all happened before. But the thing is, we have forgotten it; irresponsible governments have erased the resources that would allow us to understand. Since the dawn of History, some peoples have invaded others due to hunger, to ambition, or because the pressure of still others who were invading them or mistreating them; and all, until recently, defended and stood against invaders in turn: knifing them, taking their women and enslaving their children. Thus, those peoples survived until History finished them, and opened the way for other empires, that once again, suffered the same fate when their day was over. A problem confronts what we call Europe, or the West (the empire heir to a complex civilization, that has its roots in the Bible and the Talmud, with some relation to the Koran; the empire that flourished in the medieval Church and the Renaissance, that establishes the rights and freedoms of man during the Age of Reason and the French Revolution). The West is all that - Homer, Dante, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Newton, Voltaire - and the problem it faces is that it has reached the end of its timeline and is being liquidated through overthrow. It is incapable of sustaining its existence. It is incapable of defending itself. It only has money. And money only buys some time, nothing more.
We pay for our sins. The disappearance of the communist régimes and the war that an imbecile American president unleashed upon the Middle East - to install a western-style democracy in places where the words Islam and Rais (religion mixed with tribal leaderships) make it difficult for democracy set the pot to boil. The centurions who guarded our borders fell: barbarians themselves, as at the end of all empires. All those centurions were sons of bitches, but they were our sons of bitches. Without them now, our borders are overwhelmed with waves of desperate people, the vanguard of the modern barbarians -in the historic sense of the word - who ride in after them. This places us in a situation which is new to us, but as old as the world. A situation which is inevitably historic, for we find ourselves in the position of empires incapable of controlling waves of migration, peaceful at first but later aggressive: Empires, civilizations, worlds that were conquered because of their weakness, or else transformed and then died out. And the few centurions left today along the banks of the Rhine or the Danube are under the death sentence. They are sentenced due to our selfishness, our do-good hypocrisy, our ignorance of history, our cowardly incompetence. Sooner or later, again by the operation of a simple natural law, those last centurions will end by going over to the side of the barbarians for their elementary survival.
It's about time we understand once and for all: these battles and this war are not going to be won. It cannot be done anymore. Our own social, religious and political dynamic will not allow it. And those who are pushing the Goths forward know it. The men who stopped invaders on the battlefields, slaughtering whole populations, cannot do that any longer. Our civilization, fortunately, will not tolerate such atrocities. The bad news is that we have over-reacted on the side of tolerance. European society today demands that its armies shall be "NGOs", not military forces. All vigorous action - and only vigor is effective in certain dynamics of History - is avoided at its root, and not even Hitler would find a West so resolute in confronting him by warfare, as it was in 1939. All action against those who are pushing the Goths is criticized by pacifist forces who oppose such action with as much legitimate ideology as their lack of historic realism. Demagoguery takes the place of reality and its consequences. A significant detail: naval surveillance operations in the Mediterranean sea are not carried out to stop immigration, but rather to help the immigrants arrive safely on European shores. It is all one enormous and inevitable contradiction.
Today's European citizen is a better person than he was centuries ago, and will not tolerate a certain class of injustices and cruelties. The historic resource of cutting throats is therefore happily discarded. There can be no massacre of Goths: bad news for the empire. All this takes us to the heart of the question: Europe - or whatever we wish to call this warm realm of rights and freedoms, of economic and social welfare -is broken inside and threatened from outside. It neither knows how to, nor can, nor wants to and perhaps should not even try to defend itself. We are living in the absurd paradox of feeling sorry for the barbarians, even cheering them on, and at the same time pretending that our comfortable way of life will go on intact.
But things are not that simple. The Goths will go on arriving in waves, flooding borders, roads, and cities. They are within their rights, and they have just what Europe does not have: youth, vigor, resolve, and hunger. They are forcing us to the heart of the matter: the installation of the Goths, when they become too many, within the empire. The conflicts derived from their presence. The rights they acquire or should acquire, and which it is just and logical that they should enjoy. But neither in the Roman Empire nor in today's Europe was there or is there abundance for all - neither of work, nor of food, nor of hospitals, nor of comfortable spaces. And besides, even for good consciences, it is not the same to feel compassion for a refugee at the border, or for a mother with her son crossing a barb-wire fence or drowning in the sea, than to see them installed in a hut next to one's home, or garden, or golf course, and being outlaws, if they must, to survive in a society where fairy godmothers have broken wands; where not all of us, and every day less of us can obtain what we should like to have. And of course, there are those areas, those cities which are turning into barrels of gunpowder on a slow fuse. From time to time, they will explode, for this too is historically inevitable.
All the more so in a Europe where intellectual élites are disappearing, snuffed out by mediocrity, and where politicians who can't read and populists of all stripes take over power according to how the wind blows. The final measure will be a harder and more repressive policy, supported by those who have things to lose. That will give rise to new conflicts: the have-nots demanding what they want, furious citizens, reprisals and settling of grievances. We shall not wait too long now, and violent xenophobic groups will have multiplied all over Europe. And other groups of desperate people who choose violence to emerge from hunger, oppression and injustice. It was also a part of the Roman population - not only the barbarians - who helped the Goths sack the Empire, either to ingratiate themselves with the barbarians or of their own accord. No pax romana (Roman peace) benefits all equally. The problem is that there is no way to halt History. "There must be a solution", say those who write editorials, the denizens of cafés and citizens incapable of understanding, because no one explains in the schools, that History is not "solved", but lived; and because for the most part, one reads and studies to foresee events that are never new; for often, in the history of Mankind, what is new is what has been forgotten. And what we forget is that there is not always a solution; sometimes things happen necessarily, obeying a simple natural law: new times, new barbarians. Much will remain of what is old, mixed in with the new; but the Europe that shed light upon the world is sentenced to death.
Perhaps in the course of time and with the mixture of races other empires may be better than this one, but neither you nor I will be here to find out. We are getting off at the next stop. On this journey, there are only two reasonable attitudes. One is the analgesic consolation of looking for an explanation in science and culture, so that if we cannot prevent it, which is impossible, we can at least understand why everything went to Hell. I like to imagine a Roman gentleman at the window of his library, quietly observing the sack of Rome; for to understand always helps one to endure pain.
The other reasonable attitude is, I think, to prepare young people, with their children and grandchildren in mind. So that they may face clearly, bravely, humanely and with common sense, the world that is coming. So that they may adapt to the inevitable, keeping what they may be able to keep what good things this dying world may leave behind. To give them tools to live in a territory that for a certain period will be chaotic, violent and dangerous. So that they may fight for something in which they believe, or that they may resign themselves to the inevitable; but not through stupidity or passivity, but rather through lucidity, through intellectual peace of mind. Let them be what they may wish to be or may achieve: let us make them Greeks who think, Trojans who fight, or if the case should be such - Romans conscious of the proud dignity of suicide. Let us make them mixed-race survivors, willing to face a new world and to better it; but let us not confuse our children with cheap demagoguery and Walt Disney stories. It's time that we speak to our sons in the schools, in the home, and in life, looking them straight in the eye.

Talk of "Enforcement" is a Red Herring
It's code for amnesty
Gov. Walker:
"Any discussion that goes beyond securing the border and enforcing the laws are things that should be a red flag to voters out there, who for years have heard lip service from politicians and are understandably angry because those politicians haven't been committed to following through on those promises."
Walker, here, is basically telling us he isn't his own man any more, if he ever was, when it comes to immigration reform. He is, in fact, simply mouthing U.S. Chamber Crypto-Fascist, Crony Capitalist propaganda.
Be wary of presidential candidates promising "enforcement" rather than a change in policy, when talking real, comprehensive immigration reform. They all know, or should know by now, there is no political will in Congress to enforce any immigration laws. Both political parties see it as an advantage to not only not enforce any laws somebody might be foolish enough to pass, but illegal immigration must continue in order to keep the supply of cheap labor and cheap votes coming

Perhaps here is the reason why:
As a school superintendent, you’re typically measured by a few numbers. Test scores, graduation rates, crime rates, finances, gaps in student achievement, and perhaps a few other metrics, depending on your board of education. You can actually tackle these problems, or you can employ the dark art of data manipulation. In 2012, a news story exploded onto the national stage that was very instructive in how to magically lower school crime statistics – yet nearly every major news outlet missed it.

While I applaud the efforts of Reps. Steve King (R-IA), Phil Roe (R-Tenn.), Kenny Marchant (R-Texas), Schweikert (R-Ariz.) and Alan Nunnelee (R-Miss.) for offering the leadership to sponsor H.R. 140:
"The Birthright Citizenship Act would eliminate automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal aliens.
HR 140 would establish that the "subject to the jurisdiction" clause of the 14th Amendment awards birthright citizenship only if one of the parents is: (1) a U.S. citizen or national; (2) a lawful permanent resident alien (green card holder) in the United States; or (3) an alien on active service in the U.S. Armed Forces."
Click here for source.
Sadly, I must ask all here to call their Congressional delegations to oppose this bill until the two citizen-parent rule is incorporated into this bill.
My reasoning is simple and straight forward: As long as our courts insist birthright citizenship is the same as an Art. II, §1, cl. 4 natural born Citizen, a requirement for the president or vice-president of the United States, dual allegiance at birth cannot be accepted. In fact, as a practical matter, ever since Congress passed the Married Women's Act in 1922, thereby allowing allegiance to follow either the male or female parent, BOTH parents must be U.S. Citizens prior to the birth of their offspring in order to be an Art. II, §1, cl. 4 natural born Citizen.
Moreover, since lawful permanent resident aliens (green-card holders) in the United States have not pledge to support and abide by the U.S. Constitution, they cannot transfer such allegiance to their offspring at birth. Unfortunately, without the direct 'transference of allegiance' to support and abide by the United States Constitution inherited from the U.S. citizens parents, the offspring of lawful permanent resident aliens cannot be considered as Art. II, §1, cl. 4 natural born Citizens.
Again, only Art. II, §1, cl. 4 natural born Citizens can inherit, as a natural right, their U.S. Citizenship at birth from their two U.S. citizen-parents.

"Unfortunately for the court, Sen. Howard effectively shoots down this feeble attempt to replace his clause with their own home grown Citizenship Clause. Firstly, Howard finds no incompatibility with expatriation and the fourteenth's Citizenship Clause when he says:"I take it for granted that when a man becomes a citizen of the United States under the Constitution he cannot cease to be a citizen, except by expatriation for the commission of some crime by which his citizenship shall be forfeited."
As a historical note: during this time period, U.S. citizenship could be forfeited with any hearing at all upon the undertaking of various acts, including naturalization in a foreign state, service in foreign armed forces, and voting in a foreign political election, or escaping criminal prosecution.
In 1868, Congress declared that "the right of expatriation is a natural and inherent right of all people, indispensable to the enjoyment of the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Act of
July 27, 1868, ch. 249, 15 Stat. 223, 223 (1868).
Thus the exodus begins:
Like his immigrant father, Miles Park Romney, Mitt's great-grandfather, was a skilled carpenter and architect, and was later sent by Young to establish Mormon settlements in St. George, Utah, and St. Johns, Ariz. But like the others, Miles Park was hounded by U.S. marshals, whose pursuit intensified after the 1882 Edmunds Act, which stripped thousands of polygamists of their ability to vote and other basic citizenship rights.
Miles Parker was jailed for "unlawful cohabitation," his property was confiscated, and he once evaded federal agents by hiding in a wagon, according to the Thomas Romney biography.
Gaskell Romney, Mitt's paternal grandfather, was born in St. George, Utah, when it was but a territory. At age 14, Miles Parker carried him off to Mexico.
I have spent the last two days pouring over the life and times of Miles Park Romney: Mitt Romney's great-grandfather (paternal), Helamen Pratt: Mitt Romney’s great-grandfather (maternal), Gaskell Romney: Mitt Romney's grandfather (paternal), George W. Romney: Mitt Romney's father.
I have found overwhelming prima facie evidence, including a copy of Mexican Naturalization papers for Helamen Pratt:
suggesting that at least George's mother, Anna, acquired her Mexican citizenship derivatively through her father, Helamen Pratt.
George Romney was born in Mexico to expatriated Mormon parents, at least one of whom was a Mexican citizen through the derivative process. Unless there is some other evidence that Gaskell Romney was a nationalized Mexican citizen before George was born in 1907, it means that Mitt Romney is, in fact, a natural born Citizen under Vattel: that is by jus sanguinis alone of his father: George Romney.
There is one more document I have yet to post: FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF AMERICAN STATES.
On August 13, 1906, there was signed at Rio de Janeiro a convention between the United States and most of the Latin American countries, including Mexico:
Art. I. If a naturalized citizen, a native of any of the countries signing the present convention, and naturalized in another, shall again take up his residence in his native country without the intention of returning to the country in which he has been naturalized, he will be considered as having re-assumed his original citizenship, and has having renounced the citizenship acquired by the said naturalization.
This article comprises not only the citizen already naturalized, but also those who may become naturalized subsequently.
