From The Economist:
Why Europe should focus on its growing interdependence with Africa
Sealing the Mediterranean will not work
Charlemagne then
by Charlemagne, Sep 20th 2018
IT IS a peculiarly modern habit to think of the Mediterranean Sea as a boundary. For over two millennia, civilisations bled across it and intermingled. Roman, Carthaginian, Moorish and Venetian empires expanded primarily along maritime routes. It took four days to get from imperial Rome to today’s Tunisia, but 11 days to reach Milan. The Sahara restricted contact between this Mediterranean Eurafrica and the regions to the south, but not entirely. A study of 22 skulls from Roman London found that four were African, for example.
North African, to be precise …
… Today’s waves of African migration are merely a prelude. Of the 2.2bn citizens added to the global population by 2050, 1.3bn will be Africans—about the size of China’s population today. And more of them will have the means to travel. Those Africans risking the trip north across the Mediterranean today are not the poorest, but those with a mobile phone to organise the trip and money to pay smugglers. Few of the Nigerians who attempt the crossing are from their country’s poor north, for example; almost all are from its wealthier south. As African countries gradually prosper, migration will surely increase, not decrease. Emmanuel Macron raised these points in a recent interview. The French president was recommending a new book, “The Rush to Europe”, published in French by Stephen Smith of Duke University, which models past international migrations like that of Mexicans into America to show that the number of Afro-Europeans (Europeans with African roots) could rise from 9m at present to between 150m and 200m by 2050, perhaps a quarter of Europe’s total population. …
Charlemagne now
Prof. Smith actually finds the African population boom and migration to Europe quite alarming.
EU leaders met in Salzburg on September 19th and 20th to discuss new border controls and north African “disembarkation platforms” where migrants from the south could be processed and sent back. The summit epitomised a strategy that Mr Smith dubs “Fortress Europe”, which involves reducing migration from north Africa at almost any human cost, letting in merely a trickle of approved African migrants, bickering over who should accommodate them and then, as recompense, funnelling modest aid into Africa. Angela Merkel promotes a “Marshall Plan for Africa”, as a means of reducing migration. That reckons without the fact that economic development will raise migration numbers.
There is an alternative “Eurafrica” strategy, writes Mr Smith. This is to accept the integration of Africa and Europe. Alex de Waal, an Africa expert at Tufts University, agrees that is the only realistic course. “The logic of history is a European-Mediterranean market that will cross the Sahara, too,” he says. “The challenge is to recognise that reality and make it a mutually beneficial and regulated one. Building walls will not work.” …
It also means creating regulated routes for migrants travelling in both directions. Over the century, European districts that today have a Eurafrican character—parts of Barcelona, Marseille, Brussels and London, say—will become more the norm than the exception. “African migrants will provide a significant part of the European workforce, so we need to ask what part of the workforce and what sort of training we need to provide,” says Mr de Waal. African music and food will become more prominent in European cultural and culinary diets.
The two options, Fortress Europe versus Eurafrica, may one day end up as a choice between denial and reality. Europe cannot insulate itself from the dramatic long-term shifts in its continental neighbour. Like it or not, Eurafrica is part of Europe’s demographic and cultural destiny. It is better, surely, not to ignore or reject this but to work out how to make it a success.
After all, what’s the worst that could happen to Europe by becoming Eurafrica?
Turn Paris into Detroit?
What?
That’s racist to say that. It’s racist to even think that!
Is Paris worth a crimethought?
I don’t think so!
>> Today’s waves of African migration are merely a prelude……
And THAT is a threat.

PS: I wonder, exactly why people here are sniffling about Israel. _The Economist_ is no friend nor companion of Israel.
A good illustration of why I cancelled my sub to The Economist more than a decade ago.
Forget it, its over. A deeply feminized society will always import the ISteve “swaggering army of occupation louts” over its soy-boy pedastalizing, placating native men. And lets face it nobody does swaggering low IQ personal domination better than Africans! Why just the other day Africans were accusing each other of sorcery to make their penises disappear. This is exactly the kind of people the aging cat ladies, gays, and weirdos who run Europe demand.
Marie Le Pen is being committed to the nuthouse for posting ISIS atrocities and asking if that is what France wants. Well of course France wants it, or at least all its leaders — Power Bottom Macron, Cat Lady Merkel, Drunkard Jean-Claude Juncker, and certified hard-left loonie Jeremy Corbyn.
I certainly hope that a leader like Putin would gaze over Paris and figure that he could easily move even his decrepit forces West to the English Channel possibly beyond given that the Mighty Wehrmacht resembles a gay pride parade and Britain is an a frenzy of Racism finding among its cat lady purity leaders. The French army consists of a few special forces and mostly Africans and North African muslims now.
That’s pretty much what it comes down to, hoping that Putin will figure France might as well belong to him as his Vacation villa instead of say half of Africa. There is no voting ourselves out of this — the power of the managerial elite is too strong and distributed.
Heck if I woke up one morning to the news that Rod Rosenstein had convened Mrs. Mitch McConnel (Elaine Chao Transportation Secretary), Jeff Sessions, and Mike Pompeo to remove Trump and install Pence or even someone like super-cuck John Kasich I would not be shocked. Jerry Brown is openly calling for Trump’s assassination. These are not the moves of an elite that has anything to fear from its people — they already figure we are “the dregs of society” to quote Biden and plan on eliminating us and replacing us with Africans and Mestizos and the world’s Muslims. [Expect a move to import all the Rohingya and Uighurs here because racism!]
>>America to show that the number of Afro-Europeans (Europeans with African roots) could rise from 9m at present to between 150m and 200m by 2050, perhaps a quarter of Europe’s total population. …
Why stop at a quarter? Might as well go all the way: three quarters, four fifths, hell, 95 percent.
Is the 22nd century Europe divided between a Western Eurafrica and an Eastern Europe inhabited by gypsies?

So an example of how how the Sahara didn’t restrict access to regions to the south is four skulls from north of the Sahara?

Also, if Africans took part in the Roman invasion of Britain, it means Brits were once victims of Afro-Roman invasion.

The US congress has been coerced into funneling billions to Israeli defense and wall building, but they have yet to offer to the Europeans to build a wall. Best bet is that the first wall that will be constructed is facing east, not south. A southern wall will never be financed by the US establishment, best chance is if Italy prints lira and uses that to finance the future neo-Roman emperor’s Salvinian wall

The article presents four possible North African skulls buried in Roman London as evidence that the Sahara didn’t completely restrict contact between Darkest Africa and the Mediterranean world.

What I always find so funny is the „argument“ that Europe needs many millions of Africans because otherwise, the percentage of people who are working may go down because of the larger percentage of pensioners.
It is even more funny when we take into account that those who say we urgently have to encourage immigration from Africa because otherwise the workforce would be too small to a significant degree overlap with those who say that because of increasing automation, there will be fewer and fewer jobs, people won’t be able to live on salaries and therefore, basic income should be paid to everyone unconditionally.
When it’s about unconditional basic income, there are too many people and too few jobs, when it’s about migration, there are too many jobs and too few people – at least for people like Katja Kipping who is both an open borders and a basic income advocate (well, to think about it, even though the arguments for both proposals contradict each other, when the goal is just to entice maximum immigration from Africa, promising unconditional basic income is probably even more effective than promising jobs).
This study has data that includes children of Turkish and North African migrants to Belgium, and they are as depressingly poor, welfare-using, and low-skilled for the few that work as you'd expect.

It took four days to get from imperial Rome to today’s Tunisia, but 11 days to reach Milan.

No, building walls around Europe won’t work. But somehow there’s no problem having to build walls around the Eiffel Tower and other such places, and turning the whole continent into one vast surveillance state.

In other news, Marine Le Pen has been ordered by a court to undergo psychiatric tests. She’s under investigation for “distributing violent images” of atrocities carried out by Muslim terrorists, images that could “incite terrorism…or seriously harm human dignity”.

The really depressing thing is that in order to truly and permanently solve the problem, Western nations would have to suppress open borders activists with a vigor approaching that which the communists and nazis suppressed their enemies. Think about it. Suppose we iStevers could snap our fingers together and magically transport the unwanted immigrants and their (non-interbreeding) descendants back to their homelands instantly and without violence. What then? Academia, government, media, business, and most importantly, the education system, are still in the hands of the people who think the world described by Neal Stephenson in Snow Crash is a utopia. They'd just exercise the levers of power as they always have, flood our countries with a vengeance, and in a few decades we'd be right back where we started.
People like this Charlemagne fellow are basically the HIV virus in human form. And just as modern medicine can't cure HIV, modern western countries don't really have the intellectual, emotional or legal means to deal with them. Technically none of them will have committed a crime, even though they are the most treasonous bunch to ever walk the earth. How do we deal with them?
In some sense, the globalists have already won, because to comprehensively deal with the spiritual, intellectual and physical destruction they have wrought will require western countries to exhibit levels of brutality that they have not shown in seven decades. And then what? How do we turn that off and go back to being our pleasant selves?

You know, one of the reasons why I’ve turned away from publications like the Economist and towards Unz and Vdare is that the former are the definition of no-skin-in-the-game journalism. They stand only to gain from the policies they advocate, while other people suffer the downside. With Unz, et al, whether they’re factually correct or not, you at least know they’re personally invested in the outcome.

Migration of so unfamiliar people destroys the social fabric of society.

You can’t make new preferences because the first one wasn’t made (nurture) but part of nature.
Several reports have estimated that within 20.years 50% of all current jobs will be automated or computerised away. Andy Haldane from “Bank of England” predicted recently that England (and the rest of the west) stood prior for a more dramatic industrial revolution than those we have had;
“Each of those [industrial revolutions] had a wrenching and lengthy impact on the jobs market, on the lives and livelihoods of large swathes of society.
“Jobs were effectively taken by machines of various types, there was a hollowing out of the jobs market, and that left a lot of people for a lengthy period out of work and struggling to make a living…
“This is the dark side of technological revolutions and that dark side has always been there”That hollowing out is going to be potentially on a much greater scale in the future, when we have machines both thinking and doing – replacing both the cognitive and the technical skills of humans.”
So, we are importing a button of society that will be chronically marginalised both socially and racially. A totally alien economic burden. This will not end well.

I'm getting really worried about the future. It can't continue as things are going. The Jews will eventually need to be stripped of a lot of their power in Western countries - it has got to happen (and it's just).
It could be done peacefully (with some rancour) in the same way the Jews de-legitimized the Catholic Church's power in our culture -- through relentless criticism, mockery and legal/cultural maneuvering, but that took a very long time. This also presumes the Jews play fair and will accept a demotion without violence, like the elites who came before them (I have doubts).
I really feel a major upheaval is coming. Probably sooner than most imagine. I can't see any solution. I can think of many solutions myself, that would lead to better outcomes for all, but the Jews will never accept anything short of global government with themselves at the helm.

That’s the point of the economist using the name “Charlemagne” you see, to save Europe now, we have let them in.
Then I stand corrected, but, given the track record, it wasn’t a bad guess.
On a serious note, there are some goods that the economy seems to always demand more of. The saturation point has yet to be reached. Cheap oil before the 1970s allowed the creation of the muscle car. The muscle car has limited practical use, but plenty of people would like to have one.
In the same fashion, lots of people would like to have a live-in servant. Some old people might actually need one, and this is a job that is hard to automate and will always be low paying witout the state restricting labor supply.
The biggest barrier to employing migrants isn’t their lack of skill and low IQ. Nor is it language barriers. America has lots of those kind of people. The difference is that American labor law is the thinnest of all developed countries. Things like Uber attract often violent resistance in Europe.
Who knows? We might even see a WokeCapital ™ firm create make-work jobs directly, rather than launder the money through non-profits.

When it’s about unconditional basic income, there are too many people and too few jobs, when it’s about migration, there are too many jobs and too few people - at least for people like Katja Kipping who is both an open borders and a basic income advocate (well, to think about it, even though the arguments for both proposals contradict each other, when the goal is just to entice maximum immigration from Africa, promising unconditional basic income is probably even more effective than promising jobs).Replies: @Lot, @J.Ross, @Anon

26% of Australian citizens were born in other countries. 49% of Australians have at least one parent born elsewhere. There is now a strong bias towards migrants with skills and/or money but Europeans were once welcome with no such check and all nationalities were successful. Chinese and Indians are successful migrants and have a higher entrepreneurial tendency than the British. All other university educated migrants from any country are successful too.
If we still had full employment as we had up to 1967, Africans without skills would be successful in Australia. In those days it was easy to find work as a laborer but it isn’t anymore. I’d still let them in but I’d be lying if I said such a program wouldn’t provoke a quite reasonable backlash. It’s just my personal preference. How many people want more competition for scarce jobs?

Has communism ever really been suppressed in the west during the post World War 2 era? Based on the amount of attention it gets, it seems cultured Americans view the Hollywood blacklist as being the second-worst atrocity America has ever committed(not as bad as slavery, but worse than displacing the indians).
The really depressing thing is that in order to truly and permanently solve the problem, Western nations would have to suppress open borders activists with a vigor approaching that which the communists and nazis suppressed their enemies. Think about it. Suppose we iStevers could snap our fingers together and magically transport the unwanted immigrants and their (non-interbreeding) descendants back to their homelands instantly and without violence. What then? Academia, government, media, business, and most importantly, the education system, are still in the hands of the people who think the world described by Neal Stephenson in Snow Crash is a utopia. They’d just exercise the levers of power as they always have, flood our countries with a vengeance, and in a few decades we’d be right back where we started.
People like this Charlemagne fellow are basically the HIV virus in human form. And just as modern medicine can’t cure HIV, modern western countries don’t really have the intellectual, emotional or legal means to deal with them.

In some sense, the globalists have already won, because to comprehensively deal with the spiritual, intellectual and physical destruction they have wrought will require western countries to exhibit levels of brutality that they have not shown in seven decades. And then what? How do we turn that off and go back to being our pleasant selves?

High housing costs in England are caused by mass immigration and monetary policy — low interest rates bidding up real estate prices.

The idea of a future “Eurabia” is derided as a conspiracy theory by the Establishment media, as something cooked up by islamophobes, counter-jihadists and worse. This is, of course, not so.
France took the initiative in the EU for the EuroMed cooperation (everything detailed on EU web sites). France envisioned a free trade area for all countries around the Mediterranean. It stalled and fizzled because the North-African Arab nations demanded Israel be excluded. This France would not allow. Eurabia was no more.
ps.
The reason Israel is in the Eurovision Song Contest is that they are banned from the Middle East Song Contest. We can’t let Israel to be isolated.
The historical frame of the Economist column is, as its first sentence claims, that the Mediterranean Sea has for all of recorded history, been a highway for economic and intellectual trade. In the course of this claim, the writer even speaks of the “empire” of Venice, which had a few islands in that sea and a few coastal cities, and was always a republic.
The assertion of a uniformly trade-promoting body of water between Europe and Africa omits the historical consensus, accepted not only by general historians but preferentially by those specializing in economic history, that Mediterranean became a barrier with the establishment of an Islamic Empire on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, in the seventh century CE. This barrier reduced trade to a trickle and imposed a great obstacle to intellectual and cultural exchange as well; the continent of Europe was forced to develop its own economic and trade, not to mention intellectual and cultural, resources.
The historical consensus among scholars dates to the 1930s, beginning with Henri Pirenne’s Mohammed and Charlemagne and continuing with the Annalles School’s Marc Bloch and, since the 1950s, Fernand Braudel’s magisterial The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World, translated into English in 1972. Its status as the framework for historical treatment of the Mediterranean in post-classical history was confirmed as recently as 2001 with the work of Michael McClosky.
What we have, in short, is a claim for a historical treatment of the status of the Mediterranean Sea which elides the overall consensus of the entire historical profession for the last century. It does this, I would suggest not coincidentally, so that it can ignore the damage done to trans-maritime trade by the establishment of Islam.

“Is Paris worth a crimethought?”
The great astronomer, Carl Sagan, once said that if an extremely powerful and advanced alien race came to Earth bound on destroying us, and demanded we give them one good reason for why we deserve to be spared from obliteration, thatt we should show them Paris. Paris is pretty much the best that the human species created. Paris was also the favorite place in the whole World of both Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.
The really depressing thing is that in order to truly and permanently solve the problem, Western nations would have to suppress open borders activists with a vigor approaching that which the communists and nazis suppressed their enemies. Think about it. Suppose we iStevers could snap our fingers together and magically transport the unwanted immigrants and their (non-interbreeding) descendants back to their homelands instantly and without violence. What then? Academia, government, media, business, and most importantly, the education system, are still in the hands of the people who think the world described by Neal Stephenson in Snow Crash is a utopia. They'd just exercise the levers of power as they always have, flood our countries with a vengeance, and in a few decades we'd be right back where we started.
People like this Charlemagne fellow are basically the HIV virus in human form. And just as modern medicine can't cure HIV, modern western countries don't really have the intellectual, emotional or legal means to deal with them. Technically none of them will have committed a crime, even though they are the most treasonous bunch to ever walk the earth. How do we deal with them?
In some sense, the globalists have already won, because to comprehensively deal with the spiritual, intellectual and physical destruction they have wrought will require western countries to exhibit levels of brutality that they have not shown in seven decades. And then what? How do we turn that off and go back to being our pleasant selves?
Maybe Charlemagne will realize the error in his ways in fifty years or so, when, cold and hungry, he manages to drag his frail body within sight of the Hungarian border wall, now extended to protect the entire boundary with Western Europe.

I'm getting really worried about the future. It can't continue as things are going. The Jews will eventually need to be stripped of a lot of their power in Western countries - it has got to happen (and it's just).
It could be done peacefully (with some rancour) in the same way the Jews de-legitimized the Catholic Church's power in our culture -- through relentless criticism, mockery and legal/cultural maneuvering, but that took a very long time. This also presumes the Jews play fair and will accept a demotion without violence, like the elites who came before them (I have doubts).
I really feel a major upheaval is coming. Probably sooner than most imagine. I can't see any solution. I can think of many solutions myself, that would lead to better outcomes for all, but the Jews will never accept anything short of global government with themselves at the helm.
