Things change. Sometimes for the good, and sometimes for the worse, but always in the eyes of the beholder.
Wednesday provides a case in point.
In the wake of the ISIS attacks in Brussels, Poland’s prime minister, Beata Szydlo, cancelled Poland’s agreement with the EU to accept Syrian refugees. “We can’t allow for events in western Europe to happen in Poland,” said Szydlo.
This change of heart is good for everyone except German chancellor Angela Merkel.
Bloomberg reports Poland Abandons Pledge to Shelter Refugees After Brussels Blasts.
Poland abandoned a pledge to shelter migrants under a European Union relocation agreement, Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said, shifting her country’s stance a day after suicide bombers killed dozens of people in the bloc’s de-facto capital.
“I will be very clear: at the moment, I don’t see a possibility for migrants to come to Poland,” Szydlo told Superstacja TV on Wednesday. Her spokesman, Rafal Bochenek, later told journalists that the government “can’t allow for events in western Europe to happen in Poland.”
Poland’s about-face is a blow to pledges made last year to shelter a planned 160,000 refugees in the EU and a deal sealed last week to reduce the flow of refugees arriving on member Greece’s shores from Turkey. Under the new agreement, each Syrian refugee who makes it to the Aegean state will be sent back to Turkey and put at the end of a waiting list for entry, while another person on the waiting in a camp there will be admitted to the bloc. Some 857,000 survived the Aegean passage in 2015, and more than 144,000 have crossed so far this year.
It is very unfortunate that it took another huge bombing incident for Poland to wake up to the risks, but at least Poland did wake up. Other nations will follow.
Any person who still favors letting Turkey into the EU, a move that would give nearly 80 million Muslim citizens open travel throughout the region, has serious problems thinking clearly.
Mike “Mish” Shedlock
I agree about not letting Turkey into the EU but I disagree about the source of the terrorist problem. It is not Muslims it is the USA and NATO who have attacked these people’s countries creating chaos death and destruction. This creates a fertile breeding ground for terrorists. If your family has been drone killed why wouldn’t you adopt an attitude of revenge against the west. Russia has made it plain. The USA ,Turkey, and Israel have supported ISIS in Syria and Iraq, armed and funded them, by buying oil from them.
Brussels were warned by Turkey about one of the perpetrators of the latest incident but their security service did nothing. The powers that be obviously welcome these incidents as it gives NATO a false reason to continue attacking Syria and also further extending their surveillance state.
Hopefully more and more Europeans are becoming aware of the duplicitousness of their governments and the lies of their mainstream media.
I certainly agree with you regarding US drone policy.
Obama sped up the use of drones even more than Bush.
And ISIS is a US creation.
Still, what is one to do? Allow freedom of movement to another 80 million citizens from a clearly inflamed country?
Mish
It is not Muslims it is the USA and NATO
Yeah, if it hadn’t been for the USA and NATO, those first and second intifadas would never have happened. And now the third.
Muslims perpetrate “chaos, death, and destruction” wherever they exist in sufficient numbers among non-Muslims.
Islamic intolerance, supremacy, and genocide are Islamic tenets. They are in the Quran. Here’s an example, verse 9:111 – ” God has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of God; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon God in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than God? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.”
Neocon and Interventionist policies do stir up the Islamic hornet’s nest by, giving Muslims more reasons and opportunities to wage ideologically-based and genocidal war against non-Muslims. Islam is not a “religion of peace.” It’s a totalitarian ideology founded by a warrior. There are plenty of quranic verses and other authoritative Islamic sources manifesting that.
It is not muslims per se, but all religions that are full of crap.
The bible is full of genocidal stuff and immoral stories no sane person can live by. In the name of the bible Christianity has committed some of the most appalling crimes in the history of humanity without any external attack. Think only of the inquisitions and millions of innocent women burned slowly alive high in the stakes by the church.
The muslims of Syria have had their lives and their families totally destroyed by the indiscriminate war Russia and other countries have been waging on them.
The problem is religion (regardless of the name) that exploits our fear of death and ignorance.
Now with that being said, it is a mystery as to why they are not attacking Russia that did most of the damage but little innocent Belgium?
Russia has effective security services and laws which put would be terrorists away for 20 years when caught and russia stops asylum seekers from using Russia as gateway to west and those who seek asylum are processed thoroughly and in case asylum is granted it comes with 0 rubles and NO welfare.
Belgium has ineffective security services and laws which release would be terrorists to freedom even when deported to Belgium by Turkey and tipped of by Turkey that the individual is an extremist terrorist and on top of this Belgium pays would be terrorists money from welfare to live for free while plotting terrorism and purchase bomb making materials with said welfare money.
Belgium also provides free apartments to terrorists through welfare and lets muslims concentrate in muslim ghettoes where nobody talks to police and rocks were even thrown by Molenbeek residents against the police when they arrested the paris terrorist.
Belgium makes no effective screening of terrorists coming through the asylum seeker system.
Asylum and therefore free apartment and free money for the rest of their life is given by an incompetent belgian bureaucrat after 3 hour interview where the belgian official writes down the fairytale told by the asylum seeker and if it ticks all the boxes in EASO criteria then they get asylum without any proof based on the fairytale they told.
Said bureaucrat is congratulated by his/her boss after giving asylums based on fairytales because they did that in the EU-directive specified quick timetable which leaves no time to search the background of asylum seekers and interview them repeatedly to catch liars seeking just welfare or to catch would be terrorists.
(EASO modules are a process of granting asylum originally developed by Sweden and then made Europe wide by EU when establishing super-bureaucracy EASO (European Asylum Support Office) with EASO training on how to interview asylum seekers “humanely”, EASO modules on what to questions to ask and EASO checklist to give asylum after the fairytale told ticks all the boxes specified by EASO)
Sure the west is complicit in destroying a perfectly serviceable country. But to contend that Islam and the people from a country with an average IQ of 85 are compatible with Western Europe is crazy.
Ian says “Terrorism; the fault of the US and NATO”
============================
Insane drivel. Islam has been committing an average of three Paris murderous rampages every month for a very long time. Put another way about 10 plus Brussels, every month, year after year. They do this in every nation where they have a significant population. Russia, India, Indonesia, etc… etc… unending. The killing of hundreds of Russian school children had zero to do with the US or NATO.
This barbarity is a result of the prevalent barbarous dark age “we must rule” ideology inherent in Islamic philosophy and jurisprudence.
Islam, as advocated and practiced by ALL leading Islamic scholarly schools of thought in all Middle East and Muslim dominant nations, is not compatible with anything else, for the very ideology taught is simply submit or die! The few internal attempts at reform ALWAYS result in the leader of said reform having death fatwas (legal duty to execute said individual) issued against them.
However this makes no defense for the O’s and Hillarie’s actions in the area. Obama commenting on his drone attacks, ” I am getting pretty good at this” and Clinton’s comment on murdering Gadhafi, “We came, we saw, he died” are indications of pathological sociopathic individuals. Zero plan for what was to follow after this head of state murder, leaving the small nation in chaos, is shocking incompetence at best. Every action the O has taken, not his words, but his actions have at best been ineffective, but in most cases aided, abetted and supported radical Islam, in Libya, in Iran, in Iraq, in Egypt, in Syria, in Israel. The man is a walking talking foreign policy disaster.
Never the less, neither the US or NATO is responsible for the barbaric deficiencies of Islam as practiced for centuries.
Unfortunately, since people will not make the correct hard choice, we are heading for more extreme violence.
According to a Lancet publication by Johns Hopkins epidemiologists, 100,000 Iraqis, mostly women, children and elderly, were killed during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. And the president of the invading country laughed at the rationale for the war. Yes, why wouldn’t those who lost loved ones seek revenge?
Two wrongs don’t make a right. And adding more wrongs on top, like importing people from incompatible culture who refuse to integrate, will only lead to more problems.
“Two wrongs don’t make a right” is a Christian tenet (i.e. turn the other cheek). “An eye for an eye” is the mandate found in other religions.
Killing innocent people in a wedding party because one suspected terrorist sympathizer ‘might’ be there is a sure way to generate 100 new terrorists in some cultures / religions.
We will reap what we have sown.

YOU NAILED IT !!!

and
Czech Lower House rejected the introduction of visa-free relations with Turkey
http://www.ceskenoviny.cz/zpravy/sobotka-krok-snemovny-neovlivni-smlouvu-eu-s-tureckem/1330226
I will pray that czechs or other eastern europeans will veto Turkey’s visa freedom.
The 20-30 year project to educate western populations to hate nationalism and love diversity and multiculturalism and open borders unconditionally has been completed and rational thought and presenting facts which hurt somebody’s feelings are now racist.
Even when seeing all the crimes, gettoes and breakdown of trust and cohesion in western european societies caused by stupid immigration policies that have let people come by the millions of whom many despise western freedom and western values and explain to themselves that being left out at the job market and living on social welfare paying the same as minimum wage job is caused by european racism instead of facing reality of low education and massive school dropout rates for the 2nd generation causing this problem together with outsourcing of european manufacturing and low education jobs to china, the common through as repeated daily by media is that europeans are racist and europeans are causing muslims to isolate, europeans are causing muslims to drop out and as final act of insanity now media is telling that the terror attacks in Belgium were caused by european racism.
Europe is an insane asylum at the moment.
Recall the present EU-Turkey deal provides for the 80 million to have visa free travel, supposedly throughout the EU although the British government claims it is exempt (a view not supported by the minutes of the European Council held 17-18 March that reconfirmed the minutes of the 7 March “Following the decisions of the Heads of State of government of 7 March” the European Council “calls for the full implementation of the EU-Turkey statement”).
Visa free travel for turkey will cause:
-Europe to become a party to the slow boiling conflict between turk turks (55 million) and kurdish turks (22 million) as egged on by Erdogans oppression of kurds and kurdish terror and bombings by PKK and other kurdish terror organizations
-cause tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands kurdish turks to seek asylum in welfare paying eu-countries based on Erdogans oppression
-cause un-employed turk turks (20% youth unemployment among youth inTurkey) also try their luck in the asylum seeker lottery where the prize is free apartment and free money for the rest of their life by western european countries.
Just tell a convincing story in only 1 interview with NO interrogation techniques used and a bureaucrat gives an asylum status and gets compliments from his/her boss for making decisions QUICKLY like EU directives demand.
-cause kurdish turk extremists and terrorists to start blackmailing EU and european countries with the bombings they are currently making in Istanbul and elsewhere in Turkey.
-cause many kurdish turks to travel to western europe, lose their papers and seek asylum claiming they are kurds from syria or kurds from iraq (90%-100% acceptance rates in some EU countries with Sweden and Germany being the most insanely lax and incompetent)
-Cause rush of work based immigration to Europe because the pay is much better in western europe than in Turkey and there is 20% youth unemployment in Turkey
-Cause ISIS extremists and other terrorists seek to marry a turkish girl in Turkey’s countryside (arranged marriages with anybody who has money and is a “devout” muslim because turkish countryside is backwards) to get Turkish passport and free travel to Europe.
-Cause the liberal and western minded city populations in Turkey, who still believe in Turkey founder Ataturk’s moderate ideology and vision of Turkey as a country with religion separated from politics to become even more marginalized so the slide towards islamism as factually done by Erdogan and his party in the last 15 years will continue and become even deeper so visa freedom will make Turkey even more islamist.
(The irony is that EU in it’s utter stupidity demanded that Turkey’s army should be made to run completely under parliamentary rule which resulted in purges of high ranking military leaders in Turkey who were loyal to Ataturk’s vision of turkey as a secular country because parliament was run by islamist AK party headed by Erdogan.
As a result of EU’s complete incompetence Turkish army is now run by islamist erdogan loyalists)
If the visa-freedom goes through it will be the destruction of Europe and european values and bring europe as next door neighbors to Syria, Iraq and Iran.
complete and utter madness and european populations passively watch as leaders like Merkel, who has been shown to be completely inept and incompetent, destroy Europe and european values with insanity and short term political gains.
(Merkel’s party CDU was saved from an even larger defeat in the last elections the fact that turkish germans in the millions voted for CDU to reward Merkel’s insistence that visa freedom to Turkey must be granted)
Millions more turks will move to Germany to live with the relatives that are already there after visa freedom comes into effect.
The EU is definitely unraveling, but the final break-up won’t be a linear projection from here. There will be reversals along the way, much like a professional wrestling match.
The more chaos the West creates in Muslim countries the more migrants and bombings the West will have to endure, it’s really that simple. Poland was a member of the “coalition of the willing” that, under the leadership of Bush jr., went into Iraq and started this whole mess.
Solution:
a. Don’t let any migrants into the country.
b. Don’t let Turkey into the EU
c. quit supporting on side or another in Muslim countries. Either side will eventually turn against you. Always has and always will. Best to be left entirely alone.
Tired of hearing Bush and Obuma blamed. The problem is Islam; they want to kill anyone who isn’t moslem and they want to kill each other and have been doing so for centuries. They would be doing both regardless of what Bush or Obuma did. The whole world became civilized ex moslems.
For those unwilling or unable to learn from past mistakes the tuition cost will be accordingly.
Yoski, more insane drivel. Islam has been committing an average of three Paris murderous rampages every month for a very long time. Put another way about 10 plus Brussels, every month, year after year. They do this in every nation where they have a significant population. Russia, India, Indonesia, etc… etc… unending.

Obama has been a disaster. You should read about how much Iraq was improving under Bush, (google, “discover the networks”) their economy and schools were growing rapidly despite the conflicts always inherent in Islamic nations. Obama there, like everywhere, sowed seeds of dissension and conflict, either completely blind to the problems of radical Islam, or a willing supporter.
Its all f’d up. Put ideologies to one side, and in pragmatic terms western countries should be keeping their own houses in order first. That alone would be sufficient as a stance to govern their ethic and keep a good centre … but somewhere, somehow, they seem to have lost the plot. Blaming another group of people outside of that is both deceptive and null.
Western nations cannot keep their own houses in order if they invite Islamic ideology into their own house. Regarding foreign policy, yes, their is room for less involvement in some areas. I disagreed with Bush and Iraq. That said, his policy was far more successful in making that work then Obama, who screwed it up royally.
Mish,
Obviously, we also have “serious problems thinking clearly”. https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/03/what-is-homeland-security-hiding-behind-immigration-numbers. I think we will get hit someday even harder than 9/11. Stupidity and corruption have consequences.
Thanks,

We should go a few steps further and we should nuke Turkey and incinerate the entire population. When Trump is president, maybe we can take this necessary action.
Bill, are you serious? That is a non solution and insane.
Yes, Islam must change or war will follow them everywhere they go. Allowing any followers of this, as practiced, dark age barbaric rule the world ideology to emigrant is also insane, but there are far better more effective ways to defeat Islamic thought and actions as they are practiced.
Sorry to be a Race & Culture Realist, but these Arabs (Syrians) have no business in Poland. It just harms the Polish culture, history, language and national identity. IT would be like moving 500,000 Polish into Syria. Is that right? Is that fair? No.
Western Europe must have these people return or it will get far, far, far worse.
It is not even race or culture. People will move away from trouble and dificulty and towards facility. Facility does not even need to mean handouts, just an environment that is better. War tips the balance between staying in familiar poverty or launching into the unknown for a better future. The solution is in western hands, as people both flee wars the west is involved in and head towards western sanctuary as a solution.
So western countries may :
Wind down their sponsorship of conflict in other countries.
Close down access to their own countries due to migration disturbing their own structure.
Do all they might to facilitate a temporary support of those displaced, that should be set up, paid for and monitored in the countries closest to the source of migration.
To not follow all three of these will smack of hypocracy.
If Turkey does not cooperate in what is a peaceful and constructive endeavour, it should be ostracized, not rewarded.
By who, and by how much, is Turkey needed is a good question. Only after answering that will we understand how the levers of power and decisions by western politicians are arranged.
Does Turkey really want to handle this by itself ? I don’t think so, and so the ball is fully in our court to help Turkey manage to a level that is satisfactory to all.
latin america, a christian region has its own fare share of violance
many of the most violant cities in the world being catholic
i think we should stop blaming religion and accept that it is political instability, poverty, and lack of education that affects violence and radicalism.
http://www.citymayors.com/security/latin-american-murder-cities.html
The situation in Mexico is horrible and they worship Santa Muerte among the criminals and the policies and education in mexico has been leftist most of the time.
The situation in some other latin american countries has also been horrible from time to time again mostly caused by leftists or extremist rightist dictators.
However you can’t compare the destruction ISIS and Al-Qaida are causing and have caused to anything in Latin America.
USA needs a wall on their mexican border and EU needs to keep the de-facto wall there currently is between Macedonia and Greece.
There is water cannons and pepper spray and batons in the Macedonian side if the seekers rush the high fences with barbed wire on the Macedonian border with polish and austrian troops supporting Macedonian border patrol and Macedonian army.
Those asylum seekers who crossed to Macedonia through a rushing river egged on by “activists” (3 asylum seekers drowned in the river) were returned to Greece by collecting them to Macedonian army trucks and driving them to the Greek side.
Guns were drawn to make sure no violence from the asylum seekers who have turned Idomeni camp in the greek side of border into violent hellhole and REFUSE to move to empty and well equipped refugee camps 20 km away from the border.
USA should use similar tactics on their mexican border as Macedonia is currently using on their border with Greece:
high fences with barbed wire on top and water cannons, pepper spray and batons if welfare seeking asylum seekers try to violently come across the borders and tear the fences down or break them.
It is an unbelievable failure by Obama and both republicans and democrats that US border patrol is told to stand down and let illegal immigrants, criminals, gang members and already deported violent criminals and possible terrorists to just walk through to the USA.
here i am simply refuting the people here who are saying that it is the muslim religion that is causing this clusterfuck. The majority of cities on this list are dominantly catholic. But the common link between the middle east and latin, and african violance is poverty, lack of education and weak institutions,
in the case of syria, sudan, libya, iraq and others, cities have been shelled into oblivion, and the people have nowhere to go, but north
the reality is that the western powers have a large piece to play in the misery and oblivion in both the latin world and middle east, it is their money and weapons that shaped the form of this tragedy.
so fuck them, “you break it you pay for it”
waves of migrants laces with a small minority of violent militants is a heavy price to pay. but at the end of the day these people have to go somewhere, and 100.000 homeless people sleeping on the streets of Italian cities will only create a situation with more violence and pain for both worlds.
It is a nice idea, to protect the wealth, culture and borders and the riches the west has raped from the world, but nothing is free.
It is not all about the West Abyss. It is all about tribalism. Do you actually think these countries would be better off if they did not have the oil or strategic resources?
Even educated young people cannot find decent work in these regions. Have you read the Koran. If not please do as the Muslim religion is also a political system as well as a religion. Get back to me ok. Not everything you state is the fault of the West. These regions you state have been killing each other off for thousands of years. Now they have another focus us and their religious leader know this. Many Muslim countries have become moderate and now are enemies of the hardcore Muslim states.
Most of iraq is completely safe.
There have been thousands and thousands of iraqis cancelling their asylum applications because they thought the food in Finland is bad tasting because it is not like the food in iraq.
They have even held asylum seeker protests marching around small finnish towns demanding similar food like in Iraq.
The iraqis are also complaining constantly that beds in dormitory style reception centres are not good enough because they expected to get a free apartment straight away.
This complaint is because finnish prime minister Sipila was advised by his wife that they should help somehow the people coming (this was when media was just talking about ISIS, syrians and showing only images of women and children in news articles about asylum seekers in autumn of 2015) and being the gentlemanly finnish man he wanted to make his wife happy and told the press that as prime minister of finland he will give his large house in his hometown to asylum seekers as a place to live (he has other house nearer the capital and also special ceremonial apartment as prime minister) and the international press got really excited and spread the news about this and it also spread to iraqi media and afganistan media and somali media so the people coming to Finland through Sweden-Denmark-Germany-Austria-Slovenia-Croatia-Serbia-Macedonia-Greece-Turkey started expecting really good accommodation and this naivete by Sipila made Finland more famous among asylum seekers traveling around europe so it caused more people to pick Finland as the country to seek asylum.
Later they put an asylum seeker reception centre near Sipila’s hometown house and the asylum seekers raped a 15-year old local girl the weekend after arriving which got the finnish citizens quite upset so they staged a demonstration march against governments incompetent policy and Sipila’s stupidity.
Most popular guy in that demonstration march was a guy who had a sign which read “Saatanan Sipila” which means “Satans Sipila” but with a twist that in finnish Saatana is also a bit like F*ck or F’cking idiot.
Everybody wanted to take their picture with him and shake his hand because everybody was totally fed up with his Merkel like out of touch stupidity.
After the march the asylum seeker reception centre was quickly closed and the asylum seekers moved to someplace else and Sipila stated that right now is not a good time to give my hometown house to asylum seekers after all so he cancelled that.
Thousands of iraqis have returned voluntarily to iraq and there was even news of them kissing the floor of Baghdad airport when arriving as reported by daily mail in UK, you can google it.
And the iraqis are also posting messages and videos on facebook saying “do not come to Finland the food is bad and we have to sleep many guys in the same room. it is horrible and iraq was much better and it is also cold outside and lot of snow and finnish women don’t like us”
So it is clear that iraqis have no basis to seek asylum and all iraqis should be returned to the peaceful areas of iraq but because EU-directives and EASO modules the system still keeps churning slowly and some get permit to stay after waiting months and months.
No iraqi person should be given asylum because there are many peaceful areas in iraq and according to international law internal flight should always be the first choice so if there are safe areas inside iraq, like there are many, all asylum applications from iraqis should be denied.
EU itself admitted in it’s Turkey deal that only syrians have some sort of claim to asylum, although even syrians were already completely safe in Turkey, so iraqis, sudanese, somalis etc. will be returned to Turkey and syrians taken from Turkey in exchange.
When it comes to Libya there are competing factions warring but it is not anything like Syria and again there are many safe areas without any conflict in Libya. The horror stories about Libya come from asylum seekers reaching europe from whom those libyans who control the coast extort money to let them through and they also have a strong incentive to embellish a bit to get better chance at asylum and not risk returns to africa.
Also one should realize it is NOT the libyans who are coming to europe seeking asylum but other africans who use Libya just as a gateway to the sea so they can call Italian coast guard on their satellite phne when they are out of Libyan waters and in international waters to come pick them up.
The drownings between Libya and Italy were caused by Italys policy of going to pickup the asylum seekers nearer and nearer to the libyan coastline so the smugglers started putting the asylum seekers in worse and worse boats to earn more money.
When something is unreasonable, doesn’t make sense, or is completely insane, one needs to start looking at “why” it is allowed to happen.
Merkel is trying to build a coalition of the willing who would voluntarily accept asylum seekers transported to their countries by EU from turkey, greece and italy.
So far the members in the coalition of the willing include:
-Germany (which lured and invited asylum seekers to come)
-Sweden (which lured and invited asylum seekers to come)
-Italy (which just pushed everybody to the north until france put border checks on their italian border and stopped this in june 2015 and after that other Italy’s land neighbors Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia did the same kind of checks)
-Greece (which just pushed everybody to the north until Austria and Slovenia started a cascade of borders closing so Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia also closed their borders)
Any country who is STUPID enough to join failed Merkel’s coalition of the willing should have their prime minister fired by the voters immediately.
Merkel is a FAILURE and she is responsible for everything together with Sweden, Italy and Greece.
Borders closed and no transfers inside EU and the people will stop coming to italy and greece because it is stupid to pay smugglers about 5000 dollars to get 0 dollars and end up living in the streets of Italy and Greece unless working long hours for minimum pay to be able to pay rent.
Keep writing Katsaus , appreciated .
