In 25 years, there will be three times more Africans in the EU than Europeans

[REGNUM] On the evening of August 23, another terrorist attack occurred in Germany: a man armed with a knife attacked citizens in Solingen. Three people were killed, at least eight were injured, five of them seriously. Quite expectedly, the terrorist was detained in a center for the accommodation of "refugees."
He wasn’t actually — he’d been hiding elsewhere when he walked up to a police car and turned himself in. But he had been living in a refugee center some 800 meters from where he started pouncing on passers by. Another Syrian man was arrested during a raid there earlier in the day.
The event is especially flavored by the fact that the victims were visitors to the "Festival of Diversity", dedicated to the 650th anniversary of Solingen, a city that has long been famous for its blades.

Such sacrifices are the price that Europeans are paying for a very targeted policy of their governments. Its essence was voiced literally two days before the Solingen massacre by the member of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) Fabio Panetta: European countries must increase economic immigration if they want to overcome the problem of population ageing and achieve sustainable economic growth.

And all this is happening against the backdrop of courts in England rubber-stamping sentences for participants in anti-migrant protests, which in some places have already turned into pogroms.

It is hardly surprising that the opinions of the ruling elite and the common people do not coincide. Europe opened its doors to "labor hands" from the Middle East and Africa long ago and wide open. In the expectation that the newcomers will consider themselves obligated to the good white masters for the rest of their lives for a bowl of soup and a roof over their heads. They will work not out of fear, but out of conscience, without taking into account their own needs and interests.

OLD AGE IS NO JOY
Europe has long been facing the problem of an aging population and the replenishment of the workforce, which creates a disproportion in the ratio between those working and those retiring.

Life expectancy is growing. However, this "medal", which emphasizes the high level of economic development of European society, also has a reverse - negative - side.

According to economists, for every citizen who has retired due to years of service, there should be at least two pairs of working hands in the country's economy. Otherwise, pension payments can only be provided by reaching into the pocket called the budget. Which will force the state to borrow more and more on the domestic and foreign markets.

Or you need to come up with something. Something that promises a quick achievement of the goal and does not require large investments.

In the spring of 2000, the UN issued a report, “Replacement Migration: A Solution to a Declining and Aging Population?”, in which it outlined a recipe for prosperity: “To maintain the required level of pension contributions, Europe needs to accept at least 1 million immigrants per year. ”

It's simple, isn't it? Instead of racking your brains over increasing the birth rate of the native population and the long-term expectation of the younger generation to grow up (it turns out that children don't start working immediately after birth, but after almost two decades), you just need to accept a certain number of foreigners who, by definition, should be grateful for the opportunity to live in a developed society.

50,000 EUROS PER YEAR PER MIGRANT
The very first fulfillment of the annual reception quota (2015 - approximately 1.5 million so-called refugees, a million of whom chose Germany as their dream country) really scared the hospitable hosts.

The "new arrivals" were given social benefits - supposedly for a time, but it is well known that there is nothing more permanent than something declared temporary. The regularity of the subsidies issued, allowing them not to work, only increased the number of those wishing to move from the place that Josep Borrell later called the "jungle" to the "Garden of Eden", as he himself defined it.

The guests quickly settled in, but instead of getting used to the traditions and norms of the hosts, they began to dictate their own terms. There is no need to talk here about how the newcomers established their own rules - it is enough to recall the Christmas (on the eve of the onset of 2016) attacks by refugees on German women in Cologne, Berlin, Dusseldorf and other cities - a total of about 1,000 cases of sexual harassment, robbery and rape.

Or about how in France and Belgium, visitors - at the slightest thing wrong, in their opinion - burn cars. Or set off explosions at the airport. Or run over passers-by with trucks.

But it makes sense to remember that the European press, having barely exhaled words of condolence to the victims, immediately begins to prove that the aliens are good. And that there is no more evil from them than from the natives.

The media prefer not to publish unpleasant data, such as those cited, for example, by the retired French officer and public figure Jacques Guilman: of the “million” who arrived in Germany, only 5% were able to integrate into the labor market, to the chagrin of employers, while the rest live on social benefits or stand in line for them.”

In 2019, the book The Scramble for Europe by American journalist Stephen Smith
…born in America but educated in France and Germany, Mr. Smith edited the French newspapers Libération and Le Monde, where he specialized in Africa before becoming a professor at Duke in 2007...
was published in Spain. In it, the author promised Europeans “a quick solution to the continent’s demographic problem through the arrival and reproduction of Africans on the lands of the Old World.”

The American tried to calm the Europeans by saying that they shouldn't think that the guests are coming expecting to live on the fat social benefits of the Old Continent. No, there are some of them, of course, but they are few. The bulk of those arriving are middle-income people.

"Despite the fact that in many African countries the annual income per person barely reaches 1,000 euros, those going to Europe cannot be considered beggars. After all, in order to get to the final destination of their journey, the applicant must pay a decent amount of money - at least €2,500 - to various intermediaries and organizers of trans-Mediterranean traffic. A low-skilled worker or a poor person simply does not have that kind of money. This means that the European Union gets highly educated people practically for free."
Highly educated for Africa or the Moslem Middle East means what, exactly? Because in 2015 their German hosts were shocked at what the asylum seekers from Syria were unable to do.
Meanwhile, each envoy from Africa is the implementation of the program "one in writing, seven (eight, nine, etc.) in mind." His task is to gain a foothold, to legalize. Having received documents for a temporary/permanent residence permit for himself, he immediately begins the process of "family reunification" - this is how members of his large family become Europeans, who, without putting things off for too long, begin to rapidly contribute to solving the demographic problems of Europe.

The author was embarrassed to mention that, for example, the French state spends about €50,000 per year on each of the foreign immigrants (health care, social services, financial assistance in paying for rented housing, etc.). He also kept quiet about the fact that the notorious 2.5 thousand euros for the person sent to Europe were collected by the entire village.

"THIS WILL END BADLY"
There are many people in Africa, and the population growth is rapid: currently, about 1.4 billion people live on the Black Continent, and by 2050 there will already be 2.5 billion. Africans will be able to easily support European demography and bring it out of the slump.

According to Smith's calculations, by 2050 the number of Africans in the EU (not only those who have moved there, but also those who were born on its territory) could well reach 1.250 billion. The number of native Europeans (in the EU plus Britain), on the contrary, will decrease - from 510 to 450 million (thanks to childfree, the "conscious motherhood" program, same-sex marriages, etc.).

"Measures that encourage the influx of legal foreign workers are a rational response from an economic point of view, " said Panetta, who is also governor of the Bank of Italy. " The entry of regular immigrants must be managed in a coordinated manner within the European Union, strengthening the integration of foreign nationals into the education system and the labor market."

The UN expects the working-age population (15 to 64 years old) to shrink by an average of 0.7% year-on-year over the next decade. It is expected to decline the most in Italy (an average of 1.3%) and the least in France (0.1% year-on-year). This is fueling debate about the need for more immigration to the Old Continent to expand the workforce.

“With populations ageing, net immigration will need to increase significantly simply to maintain the current working-age population,” Capital Economics analyst Adrian Prettejohn said in a note to clients. “It is true that immigration could, in principle, be reduced by policy decisions. We have seen popular support for anti-immigration parties increase in many European countries in recent years. But in practice, we doubt that governments will be willing (or able) to significantly curb immigration, given labour shortages and the damage to the economy that would come from not bringing in workers from outside.”

The company's analysts believe that the most significant reduction in the working-age population will occur in France (-1.9%), Italy (-2.5%) and Germany (-3.4%). And these data differ greatly from UN forecasts.

“The decline in the working-age population will directly translate into lower GDP, and the eurozone’s poor demographic outlook supports our view that the eurozone will lag other advanced economies in the long term,” Prettejohn concludes.

The governments of most EU countries (with the possible exception of the Visegrad Four) are satisfied with this economic justification for supporting and increasing the influx of migrants into Europe. But the population is increasingly expressing concerns that “this will end badly.”

Law-abiding Germans, Spaniards and Italians try to avoid sharp corners when commenting on the actions of the authorities. But they already see the "time bombs" and are cautiously trying to point out to the authorities that they are planting them under Europe with their own hands.

BICKFORD FUSE
Continental media are gradually changing their view of what is happening. But without risking to rebel against the current EU migration policy, but simply broadcasting and posting on the pages the very same concerns. For now - of individual groups of the population in individual locations. The position of the press is "we are not against the authorities, but just in case we hint that there may be problems."

The Spanish El Mundo recently reported in its headline that “the smallest municipality in the autonomous region of Galicia welcomes 280 Malian citizens who are being accommodated for permanent residence.” The greeting, however, as it turns out when reading the article itself, was only expressed by the head of the administration of the settlement of Mondariz-Balneario. The residents of this settlement very reservedly expressed, in the language of diplomats, disappointment.

The native Spaniards can be understood: the population of Mondariz is 703 people. And here the authorities are creating a colony of foreigners, 40% of whom are Galicians. And the autonomous government is debating in full swing how many more migrants can be sent here and to neighboring villages - 400 or 1000?

The locals understand that peaceful coexistence will not last long - everyone read about the massacre in England on the Internet. The incident in Solingen added doubts to the souls of the Spaniards.

Yes, for now the Iberian kingdom is calmer than France, but judging by how the Spaniards are creating migrant enclaves and diasporas with their own hands, the fuse has already been lit.

In Germany, the picture is similar. Berliner Zeitung notes that "Berliners are reacting painfully to luxury apartments for refugees in one of the city's districts."

For the "new Germans" who came from Turkey and Syria, three apartment buildings for 61 families are being built in one of the fashionable areas on Kirchstrasse, a street in the northern part of the German capital. The housing conditions are higher than for the average Berliner. Rents in the area start at 1,400 euros, but for the refugees, everything is free.

"The area of ​​gardens and cottages will be adjacent to a "shelter" for migrants, " Robert R., the owner of one of the chalets, shared his thoughts with the publication's correspondent without getting out of the pool. " Our supermarkets are quite far away here, there is no municipal transport, and it is also unclear what the newcomers will do. They will very quickly become marginalized. My neighbors and I are afraid that migrants will engage in robbery and theft here, and they will have to forget about a quiet life."

"Many Berliners lack living space, and visitors get everything - first and foremost, for free," Robert's neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, expresses his displeasure. The reason for this desire is understandable - who wants to get into trouble with the state, but when it comes to a repeat of the "Cologne Christmas nights" or the "Solingen massacre," Berliners will have to show their faces.

And few doubt that the neighborhood will not be peaceful. Especially if they remember that the capital already has 117 refugee reception centers and new ones are being built.

IS THERE A WAY OUT?
Several years ago, the issue of allocating funds for the "development of Africa" ​​was actively discussed at the top of the European Union. The idea, in principle, was quite reasonable: to invest money in the economy of the Black Continent, the education of its inhabitants, to provide them with jobs and a decent existence on their land, thereby reducing the flow of illegal immigrants to Europe. If necessary, select the best and most qualified of those who were trained, and let them into the EU countries.

The talks ended in nothing: according to the official version, the COVID pandemic got in the way, and the supposed “African” money went towards injections and masks.

A similar idea has surfaced now: Austrian writer and leader of the Identity Movement Martin Zellner said in an interview with the Polish publication Myśl Polska that “Europe needs remigration.” He dedicated his new book to this issue.

According to Zellner, who is also considered the ideological leader of the German party Alternative for Germany, the issue of remigration is currently very popular both in the AfD and in the French New Right.

"We now use the term as a blanket term to describe a major change, a 180-degree turn in the whole migration policy. We think we have had too much migration. We cannot bear the consequences of immigration economically and culturally.

So remigration is a general concept to return and repatriate illegal immigrants, limit immigration to Europe, and stop the flow of people who do not help our economic system and are a cultural burden on us, says Zellner.

— It is also about creating incentives for unassimilated people and the parallel communities they have formed to return to their homeland. So it is a very broad definition. In my book I present a concept that could save Europe — make Germany German again, Italy Italian again, Austria Austrian again. I would say that it is an avant-garde concept. Yes, it is something more radical than what we have today in mainstream politics. However, I believe that it will definitely become a very important idea for our politics in the future.”

Martin Zellner proposes leasing entire cities in Africa for 100 years, where immigrants could be returned. And also building new megacities on the free territories, where people returned from Europe would live, work, receive an education, develop culturally, and so on.

In fact, according to the author of the remigration concept, it is “much cheaper and more profitable for Europe than accepting migrants and trying to assimilate the unassimilable.” In Africa, money is ten times cheaper than in Europe, he claims, so the program is not at all utopian, as its opponents believe.

#8  "the French state spends about €50,000 per year on each of the foreign immigrants"
Going forward, who will be paying for this? Cheap labor?

#7  Sarcastic thought experiment: If you adopt an agricultural approach to livestock management it becomes clear. The cost of existing herds of high-end dairy and beef cattle for feed and maintenance on a per animal basis is massive. Simply cut the fence line and let lesser quality strays thicken the herd for free and weed out the costly animals for market and rendering plants. Bigger herd at a much lower cost per animal and the bonus, they are far more willing to accept lesser maintenance quality. Sound familiar?

#5  EC, I'm afraid that decline is for the native, white Europeans and NOT the immigrants. European and American leaders have made a catastrophic mistake.

Bizarre calculation. The current number of people living in the EU is around 440 million. Current forecasts for 2050 see a small decline.

Think of it as the government as the rancher and thier constituents as the cattle.

Nothing personal, it's just business.
