Warning: this press is from a group that has pro-Russian leanings……as well as some sources from Europe and Palestine……with that said…..these are still a good pieces on the refugee crisis now being faced by the world….
Plus as this election process enters in the “end time” I am sure that the whole situation around refugees will once again be burning up the blogosphere….but I believe there is more to this refugee thing than who gets who…..
Recently I wrote a post that ask the question…..can migration be used as a weapon?

I have been looking for some good intel that would help answer that question………
The NEO article takes a look at the issue…..again it is from the perspective of Russia and should be viewed through that prism…..none the less an interesting take on the situation…..
Starting in 2007, the US was already in the process of engineering the overthrow and destruction of all prevailing political orders across the Middle East and North African (MENA) region. It would be in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh’s 2007…

I have been asking a question about the refugee crisis facing the world and in asking the question…”are the refugees being used as a weapon?” I have found many opinions and some excellent work trying to explain the situation……
Russia and Syria are deliberately using migration as an aggressive strategy towards Europe, the senior Nato commander in Europe has said.
US Gen Philip Breedlove said they were “weaponising” migration to destabilise and undermine the continent.
He also suggested that criminals, extremists and fighters were hiding in the flow of migrants.

Of course the main point that many want to make is there may be “bad guys” hiding in the massive amounts of refugees…all waiting to find a new home and once they do they will commence their assaults on the West…..the loudest voices are from people that have NEVER heard a shot fired in anger or witnessed the obscenities of war first hand….instead they take their opinions from puke masters like Breitbart, WND, Infowars and other such hate filled rags.
This situation like most situations in the Middle East has two sides….one the compassionate side and two, a louder warning of extremists attacks from within the numbers of refugees……but there is a story with the militarization of refugees…….
Current events in Syria and the broader Middle East have brought forth the idea of “militarized” refugees. This is not a new concept but in its present incarnation comes most clearly from General Breedlove – a misnomer if there ever was one – who said, “These indiscriminate weapons used by both Bashar …

Personally, I think that this crisis is one of war in that the flow of refugees are being used to further the agenda of some shadowy figures that have a master plan…..I do not think there is a massive amount of “terrorists” hidden within the ranks….basically just people trying to find a safe place for their families and a better life……do not misunderstand….I am NOT saying there will be no violence from within the ranks of the migrants…just that most are not plotting the demise of the West.
The plan has worked! The fear that is spreading is turning rational people into extremists themselves…..they are turning on their neighbors and are suspicious of anyone that does not conform to the “approved” thinking….political systems are in disarray and passions are running at a feverish pitch…..all in all using the migrants as a weapon is working and working well.
There is only one sure way to end this crisis…..the problem is no one in the leadership role is willing to suggest it and few will even consider the possibility of end this situation…..until the solution is found there will continue to be this massive movement of people trying to outrun war……
I leave you with a closing quote….”And the things that we fear are used as a weapon against us”…..I realize few want to hear this but it is very true and it is working.
While I do fear that some refugees include militants and/or malcontents and even criminals along with some terrorists, I think the actual “plan” is to cause unrest in the populace by our foes more than overthrow the governments. There will always be terrorist; political, theological, religious, as well as just plain criminals, along with just plain “folks” looking for better lives. Hell, except for Native Americans, all of us fit into one of those categories. dru
So true….they are an easy target for politicians….just like illegal immigrants…..thanx. chuq
Good post with an excellent spread of sources… also too much for my rant button to handle on my schedule, though… I think the whole point here, again, is how little control the average person seems to have over their own fears, a condition which is fostered by those who use that weakness to their advantage… It won’t stop until enough people can overcome those lifelong delusions they have embraced, and start using their minds for something other than deciding which channel to watch on TV….

The vast majority of the migrants coming into Europe via Turkey are not refugees, they are economic migrants and of them mostly able-bodied young men, with backward cultural values. It may be possible to assimilate and educate into the values of secular Western society small numbers of these individuals, but not thousands, let alone millions of them, every year.
This would not be a issue if there was no war…..there is so I guess that is a moot point…..you are right in what you say….the answer would be end this thing and let them return home….whatever is left of their homes…..until then why not open the :empty Quarter” for refugee camps…they can do little damage in there….
Yes there would be an issue because the migration is economic and nothing other than that. Pakistan is not at war, except for the one that has been ongoing in Kashmir since India was partitioned.
True but it also about control….control means money and money means war….
Well that truly answers the question “What is it good for?”
