“May the many refugees coming from several African countries, forced to leave behind their dear ones, receive the solidarity of everyone; may the men of good will be enlightened and open their hearts to them, may they meet the pressing needs of so many brothers in harmony; may the ones who are giving generous support and aid, thus giving the example, know how much we appreciate them” ~ Pope Benedict, “Urbi et Orbi” Easter Message 2011
On whose side is the Pope? Like Catholic priests in the U.S., the Pope is siding with the Third World against the West — yet again. The last thing most Europeans want or need is to flood Europe with more Africans. (Most European countries now are populated at over 500 people per square mile.) Sure, pray for the Africans, pray that their lives will be better in Africa — but not that Europeans will facilitate their invasion of Europe.

Where’s the Inquisition when you need it. At least the Mexicans are Catholic. Importing Muslims is treason against Western Civilization and the Catholic Church.

I don’t think that any time in the history of the Catholic Church you’ll find condemnation of those who aided refugees and Pope Benedict won’t be the one to start condemning them. European and US armed intervention in Africa is driving Africans from their homes to seek refuge in Europe and the US, where they won’t be bombed, and this is somehow the fault of the Africans and those who offer them shelter?

Actually Kirt, some have speculated that one reason Europe was so hot to intervene in Libya was in order to avert an immigration crisis. The thinking being that if Libya failed then many of them would wind up on Europe’s shores.
I don’t support US intervention in Libya, but immigrants would be pouring into Europe with or without intervention in Libya.

The problem didn’t start with Libya and won’t end there. Europeans have been invading Africa consistently for a couple of centuries now and sporadically before that. You have to go all the way back to the Moorish invasion of Spain to find an equivalent and never did virtually all of Europe fall under African control the way Africa fell under European control. The US was very late getting in on this game but is making up for lost time. A couple of years ago when the US African command (Africom) was established, I predicted that we would soon have a war in Africa. I misjudged the country, figuring it was most likely to be the Sudan or Kenya, but the war has now been duly engaged. As far as military interventions to avert an immigration crisis is concerned, how’s that working out? How many Somalis were living in Minneapolis or Columbus, OH before the US murderous humanitarian invasion there? Any time you start bombing people, you will set hundreds of thousands if not millions in motion, all headed for areas where bombs are not falling and those areas will invariably include the homelands of the bombers. I recall meeting a Serb refugee who fled to the US when Clinton started bombing her country and actually arrived in the US in time to participate in demonstrations against the US air attack while it was still going on.

So Kirt, you oppose European colonialism. Good. So do I. But I don’t think the Pope is addressing the colonization of Kenya by England. He is likely referring to the current crisis in North Africa.

The point is not whether or not I oppose European colonialism and of course that is not what the Pope was referring to. The point is that an invasion consists of an armed attack on another country to overthrow its regime and establish a rule to the invader’s liking – either directly or more often by installing a puppet. This is what the Europeans and the US are doing to Libya. It is not what Libya or Libyan refugees are doing to them. The Yugoslav Serbian refugee I referred to above was not invading the US, but the US invaded her country and indeed dismembered and destroyed it. Some US foreign policy establishment figures are openly proposing doing the same to Libya.

BTW, I’ve heard that the first aerial bombing was done a century ago this year by Italian invaders against the city of Tripoli.

Kirt, Bede can speak for himself, but I’m sure “invasion” is being used here figuratively.
Also, since mass immigration is being imposed on us by our masters against the will of the masses, and since the result will be (and arguably the intent) the political displacement of the native stock, then I’m not sure invasion need be used all that figuratively. The European American who “white flights” form the community he grew up in due to it transforming into little Tijuana before his eyes didn’t ask to be displaced.

RonL: “At least the Mexicans are Catholic.”
I don’t know if there’s a big difference. In the case of mestizos, the priests are still forsaking their loyalty to the European stock of the US and siding with foreigners. Regardless of Mexicans’ religion, priests are still aiding in the dispossession of Americans.
Bede on 25 Apr 2011 at 9:42 pm #
I use ‘invasion’ both literally and figuratively, as there can be a refugee invasion. Read Camp of the Saints. In that book too the Pope sides with the Third World against the West.

I sold the house I used to own to a Thai and bought the house I presently own from a black. Was I the victim of invasion as seller (I made a very nice profit) or engaged in ethnic cleansing as buyer (I got quite a bargain)? You’re a victim of invasion when someone bombs or burns your house or kicks in the door and drags off your sons, husband and aged grandfather for “enhanced interrogation”. This is what the US routinely does. This is a lot different from selling out because you don’t like the people moving into the neighborhood and wish to move to a different one.
I read Camp of the Saints for the same reason I read the marginally less repulsive Atlas Shrugged – it was quoted by so many people, I figured I should read it just to try to figure out the appeal. It is, contrary to what some may think, a book of fiction and the Pope in it as fictional as the book itself.

Interesting article on the AltRight website about the place of Africa in the New World Order. The author predicts the increased use of military force by the US and its allies to divide and disrupt African countries for the sake of facilitating resource extraction. He calls this global colonialism and contrasts it to the neo-colonialism which relied mostly on paying off native kleptocrats.

No doubt the African refugees fleeing from the European and US bombers and looters will be the ones labelled invaders.
