It looks like the country that will end the European Union is not Greece, but Germany. Chancellor Angela Merkel has been enjoying plenty of positive press for her efforts to welcome hundreds of thousands of “refugees” to Germany and force them on other European countries. Yet the European Union is straining under the burden, and several governments are already in open opposition to Merkel’s plan to accept nation-breaking numbers of Muslim immigrants. Only months after the Greek financial crisis pushed the European Union to the brink, the issue that is coming to define Continental politics is not economics, but demographics. The breaking point may come sooner than anyone expects, as Merkel is trapped by her own rhetoric. The Main Stream Media, gleeful at the prospect of non- European Europe, is hailing Merkel as a “hero” who is leading the way by showing “compassion” to refugees [Angela Merkel: Europe’s Conscience in the Face of a Refugee Crisis, by Adam Lebor, Newsweek, September 5, 2015]. But the problem with defining immigration policies in these simplistic terms is that it suddenly becomes immoral to speak of any upper limit on immigration. And sure enough, underneath the hosannas to “Mama Merkel” by migrants and their MSM cheerleaders, one can hear the faint signals that Merkel is trying to find a way out. Even as Merkel says Germany’s willingness to accept Third Worlders paints “a picture of Germany which can make us proud of our country,” she’s also pleading for the “European Union to pull its weight” and trying to impose “quota system” for different countries. Of course, as Merkel is also admitting the “breathtaking” flow of invaders will “occupy and change” a once-successful European country, other nations are beginning to openly wonder why they should go along with Merkel’s conception of the European Union as a demographic suicide pact [Migrant crisis: Influx will change Germany, says Merkel, BBC, September 7, 2015]. The leaders of the Czech Republic and Slovakia have openly rejected quotas, defying France, Germany, and the leadership of the European Union [Czech, Slovak leaders reject refugee quotas, Deutche Welle, September 7, 2015]. Poland is reluctantly accepting more migrants, but is protesting that is already struggling with refugees from the conflict in Ukraine. The Wall Street Journal, inadvertently revealing what is actually motivating many of these “refugees,” notes “Poland is scant with welfare benefits compared with many nations in Europe, a factor that discourages mass immigration” [Poland says it will accept more refugees than previously promised, by Martin M. Sobczyk, August 31, 2015]. The Journal, at least the editorial page, would never admit such a rationale is behind Third World immigration to America as well. And of course, there’s Hungary. President Viktor Orban highlighted the obvious problem with Merkel’s plan when he wondered aloud how a quota system would function in Schengen Area countries where passport and immigration controls have been abolished. “Has anyone thought this through?” he asked rhetorically [Stream of refugees through Austria slows as Hungary PM slams EU quotas, Fox News, September 7, 2015]. The obvious answer is no. How can you, when common sense objections to the wisdom of admitting hundreds of thousands of dependents lead to accusations that you are responsible for the deaths of children? Yet the answer to why Germany is so fanatically committed to pushing refugees on Europe may lie in geopolitics rather than morality. There is a contradiction at the heart of the European Union’s (read: Germany’s) approach to the refugee crisis. On the one hand, refugees represent an economic burden to those core nations who will end up accepting most of the migrants, which is why France and Germany are so insistent on other countries taking some. On the other hand, refugees are also a useful way to extend the European Union’s control over some of its more independent-minded members, especially Hungary and other Eastern European nations. After all, if the European Union can establish “refugee quotas” for its member states, those states have effectively lost control not only of their borders, but of any ability to defend their cultural identity. Indeed, Hungary’s Orban has explicitly recognized this, saying what is at stake is the “survival or disappearance of European values and nations, or their transformation beyond recognition.” If you are trying to extend the power of the European Union, however, this is a good thing for two reasons. First, in a purely legal sense, you have centralized authority and gained more power by undermining independent nation-states. Secondly, if Europe becomes simply a common market encompassing an ethnically, racially, and religiously mixed population, you no longer have to worry about any populist or nationalist movements screwing up your plans. Just as immigration helped thwart the independence movement in Quebec, so will a huge immigrant population make it difficult any country to possess the requisite social capital to strike out on their own. This is also the explanation why Merkel’s compassion was notably absent when it came to her fellow Europeans in Greece who saw their lives destroyed because of debts owed to German banks. Indeed, the MSM is openly celebrating the potential of the refugee crisis as a way to deconstruct nationhood, especially in Germany. Der Speigel snickered that Germans will simply have to “get used to the idea that they live in a country of immigration” and abandon “the next illusion…that there is such a thing as controlled immigration.” This is necessary to create a more “cosmopolitan and generous” “New Germany” and “fundamentally change” the country [Dark Germany, Bright Germany: Which Side Will Prevail Under Strain of Refugees? August 31, 2015]. Evidently, the Obama strategy of deconstructing your own country has crossed the Atlantic. Of course, the problem with all this: European leaders, including Angela Merkel, were already admitting “multiculturalism has failed” even before this crisis. Famously multicultural, generous, and ethnomasochist nations such as Sweden have been unable to “integrate” their Third World populations. And even in the face of unabashedly overt repression, nationalist parties are surging across the continent. From the gang wars in the banlieues of France to the grenade attacks in Malmo, Sweden, we already have all the evidence we need to see how this latest attempt at “integration” is going to play out. A few months from now, there will be the inevitable articles in the MSM quoting “underprivileged” Arab and African immigrants who are having a hard time competing in the First World country. Rather than the recipient of gratitude, countries such as Sweden, Germany, and France who accept these refugees will find themselves the targets of riots, political agitation, and extremist political movements. And that’s the best case scenario. As ISIS is already bragging about how they are using the refugee crisis to smuggle in operatives, it doesn’t take much to imagine a far worse fate for the great nations of Europe [Refugee crisis: ISIS fighters in Europe? Islamic State Extremists Exploit Refugee Flow, Waiting to Launch Attacks, Militant Operative Says, by Michael Kaplan, International Business Times, September 7, 2015]. Not surprisingly, some people are beginning to notice that the best way to deal with the “crisis” is to try to avoid it altogether by getting out of the EU while you still can. And so a new poll shows that a majority of the British people want to leave the European Union altogether and strongly prefer David Cameron’s handling of the crisis to Angela Merkel’s moralizing [Britain wants to quit Europe: Shock new poll shows EU ‘no’ camp ahead for the first time as Cameron prepares to face down Tory rebels, by Simon Walters and Glen Owen, Daily Mail, September 5, 2015]. Like the Empire in Star Wars, the more the EU tightens its grip, the more “captive nations” may slip through its fingers. In the short term anyway. The likely response from most European governments to opposition to refugees will be to ban criticism of immigration, put up more institutional barriers against anti-immigration parties, and essentially entrench the existing political order until it can complete the process of electing a new people. And unless leaders such as Merkel can actually be replaced in the years to come, the Powers That Be may pull it off. Ironically, authentic European unity will be forged in the years to come by the battle of European patriots to work together against the European Union itself. Patriots from England to Poland understand that they face the same struggle, confront the same enemies, and share the same goals. If anti-immigration parties and activists can succeed in saving their countries from the immigrant invasion, it will be the end of the current European Union. But it will be the beginning of something far better—a Europe of the nations that will safeguard the future of its peoples, rather than drive blindly on with what the French writer Renaud Camus calls “The Great Replacement.”

The "great replacement" is merely hastening the end of Europe and America. Contraception and abortion are what killed them.
Contraception and abortion are what killed them. France grew at a much slower rate in the past, 100 years ago they barely added to their population. France remained France, now with this growth large areas of France have ceased to be French. Not all growth is the same, a growth in muscle mass is not the same as the growth of a tumor. The growth driven by immigration from Islamic nations is a tumorous growth.
Contraception is keeping them from being over run by children. Abortion is killing them. The reason why western nations have jobs is because they are not overwhelmed by populations. Too many kids keep people poor and dependent on big government for handouts from the productive. So the productive are overwhelmed and can't have kids either. Abortion[pushed by progressives], oversized, overbearing, all powerful centralized government are killing western nations. Its sucking the life out of people.
Self ping for later comment.
In 1790, France was the most populous country in Europe. There were more French than Russians. The French exploded out of France and conquered nearly all of Europe. They got to Moscow and sat in the Kremlin. In the end, it took all of Europe, combined, to drive them back to the French borders, and then the rest of Europe sat there nervously guarding against a French revanche for a quarter of a century. But by The Franco-Prussian War in 1870, Germany's population had quadrupled, while France stagnated. The French reached middle class status and stopped having babies, while the poorer nations all around: Britain, Germany, Russia, surged in population. This proved disastrous for France in 1870, and in 1914 and in 1940. The French were outnumbered by the Germans almost 2:1 by the time of the World Wars. Alone in 1812 France stood at the threshold of mastery of all of Europe. Alone in 1914, France was doomed against a neighbor she submerged a century before. Because the French stopped having babies but the Germans didn't. That's the way it is Demographics is destiny. France's experience in the 1800s is being played out now in the entire white world. Having achieved middle class status, we use contraception to have recreational sex without having babies. And so our population hollows out. This is because the middle class are well-off enough to live at a higher standard of living without many children, but not secure enough to have the requisite numbers of children to maintain the population. Without higher wages and wealth redistribution to make most of the middle class secure enough to have 3 children per family, they won't, and they don't. And that means a bigger and bigger demographic hole is torn in the population. And THAT means higher and higher wages - which redistributes wealth from the top. They respond by importing the labor they need domestically, and exporting manufacturing that can be done overseas, rather than paying higher wages to their countrymen. The net result is a further depression of living standards for the middle class, which further depresses the birth rate. It's a death spiral, and we have the example of France, and ancient Rome also, to show us that the end is destruction. In France's case, external allies were able to save the country. But in Rome's case, the "universal empire" had nobody to help, so it collapsed. The European world is like the Roman Empire in that sense. Doomed.
Riddle me this,Batman. Since white westerners and Christians,even Christians native to those countries,aren't welcome in ANY of those countries,how the hell is any country in the west obligated to welcome people from any of those countries into theirs? Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
There is 2 possible endings to this either European culture and it's inhabitants go the way of the gooney bird, or they all band together stomp a new mudhole in ISIS's ass and send all of the "refugees" back to the Middle East (where they belong). I wouldn't be afraid to say most of the countries in Europe favor/opt for the second scenario... They're not obligated it's good old fashioned idiotic Leftardism at work, no wonder more and more of the European countries are starting to lean more to the right. It took them forever but they've finally figured out "IT DOESN"T WORK", now only if the voters here would realize it too before the US gets as bad as the EU!!!
Contraception is keeping them from being over run by children. Abortion is killing them. The prerequiste for stable family life and children is marriage. Right now, the chasm of mistrust, shallowness, and callousness, between the sexes is such as to make formation of stable long term relationships between the sexes difficult if not traumatic. If people do get married there is a 50% divorce rate. The method of avoidance of the scene is gayism, one night stands, contraception, abortion and arrogantly marching behind the flag of self-absorbed independence. There is a predominent population of people who nobody in their right mind would want a long term connection and children with. They simply are psychopathic deviants lacking the prerequisites for marriage. This is a characterstic of affluent spoiled Western civilization. Some weeks ago I picked up a copy of a sign in my seamstresse's office. It said: a relationship without trust, honesty, empathy, and warmth is like a automobile without gasoline. You can stay in it if you want to, but it isn't going anywhere.
