Not that many years ago, I was hosting in a local bistro.  An old acquaintance, a member of the ND State Legislature, as a matter of fact, was a guest.  He began telling me of a wonderful trip to Greece. “You really should go there - go to Santorini.  It is so beautiful.” I remember thinking of Santorini. I looked at pictures, I watched videos. Boy, that would have been a lovely vacation!  The black sand beaches, the sun-bleached, blue-tiled houses, the hills, the Aegean Sea in all its turquoise and sapphire splendor. And Thessaloniki, the remnants of the Roman Empire, Mykonos, the sails of its windmills.  It seemed so far away, so exotic, so, so beautiful. It was good for my acquaintance that he saw it when he did. 

I just looked at the current U.S. State Department travel advisories.  

• Consider departing the area if you feel your personal safety is at risk

• Have evacuation plans that do not rely on U.S. government assistance

• Follow instructions from local authorities

• Avoid crowds and demonstrations

• Keep a low profile

• Notify friends and family of your safety

• Monitor local media for updates

Makes you want to go and experience the Greek Isles, doesn’t it?  And these “advisories” are anything but alarmist. Here is more - from the State Department:  

Event:  Large numbers of migrants and refugees are gathered at multiple locations along the Greek-Turkish border.  Roadblocks and protests—including some violent clashes—have broken out and continue to occur on the island of Lesvos and the land border in the Evros region. The Embassy has received reports of violence against U.S. citizens attempting to travel in Lesvos.

The Embassy is in contact with the local authorities regarding the safety and security of U.S. citizens in these locations. At this time, there are no changes to the travel policy for U.S. government personnel or to consular services.

A couple of weeks ago Gatestone Institute’s website posted an article which caught my eye - “Greek Islanders Want Their Life Back” (Feb. 20, 2020).  It was an account of the conditions which have been imposed on the Greeks - especially the islands - by the pressures of Turkish migration.  The people who are surging into Greece are young Muslim military-age men. Not families, not women with children. These “refugees” are not refugees at all.  They are a force sent from Islamic regions to overwhelm and conquer not only Greece - Greece is just a beachhead to them - but Europe.  

The situation in Greece has become critical, with Greeks on the island of Lesbos declaring that they will not allow the unrelenting migration of hordes of Middle Eastern “refugees” to continue.  They said, in their words, that they want their island back. They mean they have had enough of migrants from a foreign Islamic culture overtaking them and replacing their ancient culture with an Islamic one.  They were fed up, sick and tired of the encroachment on their own land by these uninvited “refugees”. Who could blame them? They have had centuries of struggle to hold their own land against the violent invasion of Turks.

These are 7th Century thugs who have made nothing of the countries in which they were born and bred.  They seek to suck the life out of other people’s homelands, like death-producing parasites. There is no better way to describe this onslaught.  Greeks have become desperate. Those living in the islands on which the daily ferry boats disgorge their freight, or “passengers”, are unable to cope.  It echoes the plight of the Italian island of Lampedusa, which, last I heard, was still festering. The Turkish government knows exactly how to win a war and establish an empire without firing a shot.  Just tell a bunch of inbred European elitists you’re coming. They even made a minimum of €2 billion on the deal. It’ll help them to convey their mobs over to Brussels.

Two weeks ago 19,000 seekers of shelter arrived at a facility there which could handle no more than 2,840 people.  You can imagine. Every boatload brings about 60 more by ferry. The waters are full of rubber rafts bringing hundreds more every day, escorted by Turkish government vessels for protection.  At long last the government of Greece is responding, sending soldiers. Greece has closed its border with Turkey. The flood of Afghanis, Iraqis, Syrians, Pakistanis, Moroccans et al, are gathering  there - at the borders of Greece and Bulgaria.  

The European Union, which is entirely responsible for this state of affairs due to its conciliatory bent-knee policy towards Turkey, is finally objecting, correctly acknowledging that this is the responsibility of not only Greece but Europe.  Well, of course it is. The E.U. is entirely responsible for this. What they’ll do about it is still a question. What they’ve done so far has made everything worse. They made a stupid agreement with Turkey (Erdogan) that they would send €6.6 billion to Turkey and Turkey would not allow migrants to come into Europe.  The E.U. would also weaken requirements for Turkish nationals to get European visas.  

Erdogan claims he has only received a paltry €2 billion so far.  In any case, he has done nothing to stop the inundation. The floodgates have remained open the whole time. Greece, and to an extent, Italy, have been taking the brunt of this battering.  The Greeks have lost their islands to all intents and purposes. They have surely lost their income and their status as a vacation paradise.  

Greeks have much to fear from a Turkish/Islamic presence in their country.  They have a long history with the Turks and none of it good. They have been subjected to genocide, to murder and death marches.  Their culture has been ravaged, their people brutalized. That’s what genocide does.  

Meanwhile, Erdogan, while pretending to be a civilized, modern head of state, is blackmailing the E.U. like a low-level Jersey mafioso.   (Is he the muscular type of bully Trump admires?) We know the bottom line here, even if the sages in Brussels haven’t figured it out yet.  You pay blackmail and you get more blackmail. What? Did you idiots think that Erdogan has a code of honor? So these thugs and bullies are gathering.  There is, indeed, an endless supply of them.  

The virus attacking the people of Europe is enough distraction to make a fight difficult.  Greece, like Italy and Germany, made a terrible decision in entering into any kind of European pact.  There is nothing at all wrong with nationalism. These countries would have been better off in every way had they maintained their independence and made independent trade agreements with other nations.  This has been an exercise in madness. The people - whether ordinary Germans, French, Dutch, British, Italian, Greek . . .have suffered from this. Will their suffering result in uprisings? In quiet dissolution by leaving one by one, as Britain did?  Will they survive this terrible experiment? It looks very doubtful at this point. The demographics created by a falling away from Christian religion, from working mothers and daycare, from engineered transformation through migration, all of this, and now pandemic, is acting against the culture of Europe.  

When will the civilized nations of the West - Belgium, Germany, France, the United States, Canada, all of them - when will they stop this weakling act?  There is such a thing as good, such a thing as evil. There is a right to defend one’s culture. Ours is at least as good as theirs, and in my view, better.  We don’t seek to impose ours on the Islamic world. It is time we stopped this suicidal kowtowing to people who stone women for being raped, who burn Christian churches, who murder in the name of their religion, who have done nothing to make their own lands livable, but move on like nomadic locusts, seeking what is others’ to live off of.  This is not new. This history has continued since the 7th Century and even before. It just started organizing itself under one banner in the 7th Century - the banner of Islam. The scimitar.  

It was a fatal mistake for the nations of Europe to 1) conjoin to each other in a contrived “union” which works only for the oligarchs and elitists who run it but not for the people of Europe, 2) for these self-centered pampered oligarchs to permit the invasion of the European continent - against the wishes of the majority of the people - by unassimilable, savage men from the Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia.  

Once, as I said at the beginning of this discussion, Europe was a land of culture - music, art, history and natural beauty, full of diversity.  Landmarks and shrines drew those who admired them. Now they draw those who would destroy them, who have promised to destroy them. And the people?  There are those who care more about political correctness than they do about their own children. Like the German couple whose daughter was tortured, raped and murdered by a migrant, but they hold fast to their political correctness and even won a civic award for it.  Like the women of Scandinavia whose men cower while they submit themselves. Like the corrupt government of the Netherlands which subjects its dissenting leaders to prosecution. Like the corrupt government of Britain which systematically persecutes both its children and those who have the courage to defend them.  

Will we follow this sorry example?  Because today this is what is being asked of us - or demanded of us by prissy politically correct pastors and overbearing, obnoxious imams.  Our state governments are delighted to put us in this column. They want us to share Europe’s fate. I take my hat off to those crusty old county commissioners who have said “NO!”  to “resettlement”. What we are being asked to resettle are not “refugees”. They are invaders. A refugee is someone who has fled persecution, fled for his life. Instead of resettling refugees we are being asked to resettle those who have persecuted them.  It must indeed be a nightmare for the rare Christian who has escaped to America to find that now his next-door neighbor is one of the number who threatened his life and his family and destroyed his home back in Africa or the Middle East.  

We have made a huge mistake in our diplomacy by accepting Erdogan as a civilized leader of a civilized nation.  It was a mistake to make that phone call to him to tell him we were leaving his Kurdish opponents to twist in the wind, thus freeing him to move against them.  It would have been more appropriate to oust him from NATO. NATO is not big enough for an America that stands for anything and Erdogan’s Turkey.

The people who migrate here themselves aren’t the worst of it.  Their offspring are statistically far more prone to jihad and violence than their parents.  Our own young people are enticed to become part of a culture our own government favors and convert.  They, too, are more violent and prone to jihad than these original migrants.  

Stop the madness.  Close the borders to all but carefully vetted non-Muslims.  Europe is gone - Greece and the idyllic Aegean Islands are gone.  The jolly hofbrauhaus of Bavaria and the sidewalk cafes of Paris will disappear.  Notre Dame is gone. How long will any of it remain? Not much longer.  

How much of the above is politically correct?  None of it. How much is factually correct? All of it.  Maybe we can still salvage our own country. Let’s at least make a stand.  Here is my petition again.
