Finnish trade unions have launched a national one-day strike protesting against austerity measures. Some 30,000 people have taken to the streets of Helsinki rallying against the government’s plans to aid the economy at the expense of workers.

The protesters are angry with the government’s plans to boost the competitive advantage of the Finnish economy by 5 percent in 3 years by cutting payments and compensation to working people.

Finland’s three largest trade unions: Akava, SAK and SKKT have organized their 2.2 million members to strike in protest against the government’s reduction in expenditure plans at national level.
Finnish media has stressed that the grandeur of the event is unprecedented in nearly 100 years. The last time anything similar was witnessed in the capital was in 1917, when Finland gained independence from Russia.

Last week, the Finnish cabinet announced plans to cut holidays to state employees by 8 days (to 30 days), to cut pay for working holidays, as well as other payments and compensations.

The strike began early on Friday morning and is set to last one working day. All railroad and bus lines, as well as servicing of aircrafts at the airports have been halted for 12 hours.
“The strike is going on not only at Helsinki’s landside area. All of the country is on strike. This must become a strong message to the government,” Paavo Arhinmaki, a Finnish MP from the Left Alliance, told TASS.
Although government representatives have attended and addressed the meeting in Helsinki, the leaders of the three ruling parties have not shown up, the organizers of the meeting noted.

Big demonstrations on labour market reforms in Helsinki today. Public transport, among others, at a standstill.

Finland’s government personnel, transport workers, industrial workers at metal and wood-processing industries, even post offices and a part of police officers have walked out for one day.

Finland’s national air carrier Finnair has canceled 16 domestic flights, with more delays to be expected, according to airport authorities.
Still, ferries, including international ones connecting Finland to Sweden and Estonia, are operating as usual.
It is expected that some shops are going to be closed during demonstrations throughout the day in Helsinki and major cities.

The government’s unilateral plans are apparently motivated by the failure of the players of the labor market to reach a collective agreement over the past year. The downturn in the Finnish economy has been going on for the last three years.

The EU is falling apart

Published in Business Spectator (Melbourne), 17 September 2015

Last week, I wrote in this column that Europe’s refugee crisis could undo the EU. This week, I notice how much progress has been achieved in that respect over the past seven days.
It is breathtaking to watch how fast cornerstones of European integration are being undone as a result of hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers entering the EU. Who would have thought only a week ago that several European countries are closing their borders and suspending international train connections? Who would have thought that as millions of people are entering the EU, its member states cannot even reach a binding agreement to redistribute even a small fraction of them?
Though this is at first sight a political rather than an economic crisis, the economic implications for the continent will be substantial. At stake is nothing less than the future of the EU and its common market. So far, Europe’s political and economic integration has been a one-way street. It is now becoming clear that the next integration steps may well be backwards.
Let’s put the current crisis in a broader context. Since the Treaty of Rome in 1957, which established the European Economic Community of just six member states (Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and West Germany), the European integration project has not only become larger but also much deeper.
Today’s EU has 28 members. It is much more than just a free trade zone. It has integrated its economies, created a common currency for most of its members, and effectively removed borders between them.
No matter whether one agrees with the speed and direction of the European project, one has to acknowledge the EU has been successful at driving it forward — until this year.
In many ways, future historians may well regard 2015 as a watershed year for the EU. First there was the renewed eruption of the Greek debt crisis, which led to unprecedented threats to suspend Greece’s eurozone membership.
Of course, there had been previous changes of government in Italy and Greece which happened under pressure from Brussel (leading to the removals of Prime Ministers George Papandreou and Silvio Berlusconi in 2011). But the pressure on Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to surrender to EU demands despite having just won a referendum rejecting them was unprecedented.
This is not to say that Tsipras’ position was either reasonable or tenable. However, the Greek crisis showed how brutal intra-EU dealings had become. Previously, such European conflicts would have been concluded at least with the semblance of compromise and heads held up high on both sides. Not so this time: Greece’s position was crushed and Tsipras humiliated – as much as he likes to pretend otherwise.
The Greek debt crisis of 2015 was thus a fitting prelude to the pan-European refugee crisis. Once again, the old EU ways of multilateralism and compromise were replaced by unilateral decisions and cross-border blame games. As a result, Europe suspended its old Schengen system of passport-free travel between countries. It effectively abolished its previous agreements on refugee policy, and in doing all that it saw a return of the nation-state as the most important factor in European politics.
This has severe implications for the future of the EU. The past week has demonstrated that European integration can be reversed if national interests are at stake. If that is the case, however, then what is the purpose of the EU?
The free movement of people, capital, goods and services was – in short the EU’s celebrated ‘four freedoms’ – are no longer sacrosanct. It is possible, if the situation so requires, to re-erect border controls for people. The case of Greece also showed that capital controls can be introduced even within the eurozone.
What still remains intact of the old European integration project is only the free movement of goods and services, which has not yet been questioned. However, after the experiences of this year one would not be too surprised if reasons were found to restrict these freedoms too if a suitable crisis erupted.
The European Union is in a sorry state. If you do not want to take my word for it, just listen to the European Commission’s President Jean-Claude Juncker (with whom I seldom agree). In his State of the Union speech last Wednesday, Juncker said: “Our European Union is not in a good state. There is not enough Europe in this Union. And there is not enough Union in this Union.”
Juncker’s observations are entirely correct. The EU no longer appears to be an organisation that channels its members’ particular interests. Instead, it has become an arena for its members to battle out their different positions.
There is no obvious solution to the EU’s crisis. 2015 has seen the re-emergence of the nation-state in Europe. It was the year in which the EU was demoted to a toothless tiger. And yet, there are much worse prospects on the horizon for the EU.
As all of these dramas unfold, Britain is heading towards its referendum on whether it wants to remain a part of this EU. The way things are going at the moment, who could possibly blame the Brits for saying ‘No’? The easiest way for British Eurosceptics to win the referendum, possibly held next year already, would be to just publicise Jean-Claude Juncker’s State of the Union address. Britain’s departure from the EU would be the ultimate proof that European integration can go into reverse.
As readers may know, I am not the greatest fan of the EU. It is an institution that has unfortunately become too bureaucratic, too removed from the people and too sclerotic. But I am worried that in its crisis, all the things that were once good about the EU could also be swept away, especially the common market.
Europe in 2015 stands at the crossroads. The euro crisis and the refugee crisis are testing the foundations of the European project. Even if the EU survives this challenge, it will be a much changed and probably much weaker union for the future. While that would not be too bad in itself, the prospect of resurgent nationalism and protectionism in Europe is just too frightening to consider.

Aufrüstung: Nato plant Hauptquartiere in Ungarn und Slowakei

Epoch Times, Freitag, 18. September 2015 15:48

Die Nato rüstet angesichts des spannungsgeladenen Verhältnisses zu Russland auf. In Ungarn und der Slowakei sollen regionale Hauptquartiere entstehen.

Foto: Csaba Krizsan/dpa

Die Nato will weitere regionale Hauptquartiere in den östlichen Bündnisstaaten Ungarn und Slowakei aufbauen. Die Pläne sollen am 8. Oktober bei einem Verteidigungsministertreffen in Brüssel beschlossen werden. Das bestätigte ein Sprecher des Militärbündnisses.




Angesichts des angespannten Verhältnisses zu Russland rüstet die Nato seit Monaten stark auf. Bereits Anfang des Jahres wurde die Einrichtung von sechs Hauptquartieren in Estland, Lettland, Litauen sowie Polen, Bulgarien und Rumänien beschlossen. Sie sollen bis Juli 2016 voll einsatzfähig sein. Auch Deutschland stellt Soldaten.
Die neuen Hauptquartiere sollen unter anderem als Planungs- und Koordinierungszentren für Übungseinsätze der neuen schnellen Eingreiftruppe (VJTF) dienen. Zudem sind sie als klares Signal an Russlands Präsidenten Wladimir Putin gedacht. Ihm wirft die Nato die völkerrechtswidrige Annexion der Schwarzmeerhalbinsel Krim sowie die Unterstützung pro-russischer Separatisten in der Ostukraine vor. Vor allem östliche Nato-Staaten wie Litauen fürchten, dass Putin versuchen könnte, den Einfluss des Kremls auch in ihre Richtung auszubauen.
Nato-Generalsekretär Jens Stoltenberg wird an diesem Montag und Dienstag zu politischen Gesprächen in der Ukraine erwartet. Die pro-westliche Führung in Kiew strebt einen Beitritt zum Bündnis an. Angesichts der schwierigen politischen Situation und mangelnder Reformfortschritte gilt eine Aufnahme der Ukraine derzeit allerdings als ausgeschlossen. Russland protestiert gegen einen möglichen Nato-Beitritt der Ukraine, weil es darin eine Bedrohung seiner Sicherheit sieht.

Greece: Seized cargo ship Haddad 1 concealed 5,000 shotguns 'for Libya Islamists'

• 
  By Umberto Bacchi

Cargo ship Haddad 1 was intercepted by the Greek coastguard off CreteGreek coastguard
Greek authorities have discovered a gargantuan cache of weapons aboard a cargo ship headed to an Islamist controlled area of Libya.
The coastguard said a search of only the first two of the 14 containers carried by the Bolivian vessel Haddad 1 had revealed almost 500,000 rounds of ammunition and 5,000 shotguns, of a type similar to that used by police, with no accompanying documentation.
They were found at the bottom of the containers, concealed by a load of furniture, including drawers, cupboards, and a layer of gymnastic mats.
The Haddad 1, a rusty 65-metre vessel built in 1976 and registered in the port of La Paz, wasintercepted off Ierapetra, southeast of Crete, earlier this week, as it was heading to the Libyan city of Misrata.
Greek authorities found a hoard of weapons aboard Libya-bound cargo ship Haddad 1Greek coastguardIt had left the southern Turkish port of Iskenderun, about 50km from the Syrian border a few days earlier.
Its crew of seven has been arrested, while inspectors continued searching the remaining containers in the port of Crete's largest city, Iraklion. Greek authorities have not released their nationalities, which local media say include Syrians, Egyptians and Indians.
Greek Marine Minister Christos Zois praised the "professionalism" of the coastguard for the identification of the ship, adding the investigation was ongoing and further information would be released at a later stage. "The count of weapons and ammunition is continuing and we hope that soon we will have more information on this case," he said.
It was not immediately clear who the cargo was being shipped to. The port of arrival, Misrata, is controlled by Libya Dawn, an Islamist umbrella group that took over the capital, Tripoli, last year, ousting the internationally recognised government and installing a rival administration.
Greek media however suggested the Islamic State (Isis) local offshoot, a rival of Libya Dawn, based in nearby Sirte was to be the final recipient.
The Turkish government however said the weapons were destined for the Sudanese police force, also claiming the shipment was fully documented. "If investigations by the Greek authorities show that the consignment is going to receivers other than those stated in the documentation, and if that is shared with us, naturally measures could be taken," foreign ministry spokesman Tanju Bilgic told Reuters. He added the vessel also carried building material for Libya, which is subject to a UN arms embargo.
For sure the Haddad 1 doesn't have a very clean record when it comes to maritime transportation.
Greek authorities found at least 5,000 shotguns concealed amid the cargoGreek coastguardThe vessel is currently banned from any European port, under the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (Paris MoU) control system.
In January, it failed to report safety improvements had been made after it was detained in Spain a few months earlier over a dozen of deficiencies, including invalid safety manning documentation and missing navigation charts. It was the fourth time it was detained in Europe since 2006.
At the time the cargo flew a Cambodian flag and was named Mamo. In February, it was acquired by a company named Haddad Shipping, headquartered in Athens Piraeus port which delegated its operation to another company, IMS Hellenic. According to maritime transparency database Equasis, the two share the same address and appear to have no registered telephone number.
Equasis data shows IMS Hellenic operates another 14 vessels, all flying an array of flags from the following countries: Moldovia, Bolivia, Tanzania, Comoros and Togo. The ships collected a total of nine detentions between them from European authorities in the last three years.IBTimes UK was unable to contact IMS Hellenic for comment.

Miscellaneous

Germany deeply regrets

• 

Germany is now about to introduce dramatic measures to stop the flow of asylum seeking migrants and refugees to the country.

Immigrant contributions will be abolished in Germany. Asylum seekers will now get a return ticket and food for the day, instead of money and an apartment.

The time when one could immigrate illegally to Germany and get residence and contributions by the German taxpayers will soon be history. With a new bill, the government wants to abolish immigrants' right to housing and money, and instead distribute vouchers for food - and a ticket to the EU's outer borders.

It's the Washington Post who has read the bill, which has not yet been released by the German government.

By withdrawing all contributions, Germany hopes that immigrants will stay in countries such as Greece, Hungary and Italy, instead of illegally seeking further to Northern Europe.

The contributions and the possibility of tax-funded housing is namely the main difference between Germany and the EU countries that immigrants first arrive to, who are actually responsible for receiving the asylum seekers and giving them asylum according to the Dublin Agreement.

That could mean far fewer people would win protection in Germany or elsewhere in Europe, since countries such as Hungary are generally declining to award refugee status.

Besides abolished contributions, Germany will introduce a fast track processing of asylum cases and increase the number of deportations of immigrants who have been denied asylum.

The promised changes will most likely greatly affect the flow of asylum seekers to Sweden, which may now explode.

us-governemnt want to arm atomic weapons

US-Regierung will Atomwaffen in Deutschland aufrüsten

Fliegerhorst Büchel: Die Vereinigten Staaten wollen ihr Atomwaffenarsenal in Deutschland aufrüsten Foto: picture alliance/dpa

MAINZ. Die Vereinigten Staaten planen eine Modernisierung ihres Atomwaffenbestandes in Deutschland. Auf dem Bundeswehr-Fliegerhorst Büchel in Rheinland-Pfalz würde in diesen Tagen mit den Vorbereitungen für die Stationierung neuartiger, taktischer Nuklearwaffen begonnen, berichtete das ZDF unter Berufung auf amerikanische Haushaltspläne.
Sicherheitsexperten bestätigen, daß die Atomwaffen vom Typ B 61-12 wesentlich zielgenauer seien als die alten Bestände. Kritiker vom „Nuclear Information Projects“ in Washington befürchten, daß die Grenzen zwischen taktischen und strategischen Nuklearwaffen nicht mehr klar gezogen werden könnten. Dadurch werde ihr Einsatz wahrscheinlicher.
Rußland verurteilt deutsche Beteiligung
Rußland kritisierte die Stationierung der Waffen in Deutschland als Verstoß gegen den Atomwaffensperrvertrag. „Uns beunruhigt, daß Staaten, die eigentlich keine Atomwaffen besitzen, den Einsatz dieser Waffen üben, und zwar im Rahmen der NATO-Praxis der Nuklearen Teilhabe“, sagte die Sprecherin des russischen Außenministeriums, Maria Sacharowa, gegenüber „Frontal 21“. Dies sei eine Verletzung des Atomwaffensperrvertrages.
Deutschland ist über das Konzept der „nuklearen Teilhabe“ in die Abschreckungspolitik der Nato eingebunden. Das bedeutet, daß Staaten ohne eigene Atomwaffen in die entsprechenden Gremien eingebunden sind und über den Einsatz der Waffen mitberaten und mitentscheiden. Darüber hinaus müssen die Teilhabestaaten Flugzeuge zum Einsatz der Waffen bereithalten. Auf die Zündcodes haben jedoch ausschließlich die Vereinigten Staaten Zugriff. (fl)

Wurden Asylanten-Begrüßer am Münchner Hauptbahnhof bezahlt?

Samstag, 19 September 2015 20:19 geschrieben von Max Semmler

• Schriftgröße

München HauptbahnhofQuelle: de.wikipedia.org | Richard Huber | CC BY-SA 3.0

München - In den ersten zwei September-Wochen kamen nach Angaben der bayerischen Staatsregierung fast 63.000 Asylbewerber am Münchner Hauptbahnhof an. An einem Wochenende waren es innerhalb von 48 Stunden fast 20.000 illegale Zuwanderer, die sicher ihren Augen und Ohren nicht trauten, als sie am Hauptbahnhof der bayerischen Landeshauptstadt mit Applaus und Jubel begrüßt wurden. Die deutschen Massenmedien überschlugen sich vor Begeisterung über diese „gelebte Willkommenskultur“ und transportierten die „Refugees Welcome“-Botschaft in alle Welt. Im Facebook-Zeitalter dürften diese Bilder von Asylbewerbern, die wie Helden empfangen wurden, in der arabischen Welt millionenfach gesehen worden sein und die Magnetwirkung Deutschlands für Asylsuchende noch massiv verstärkt haben.

Wie viel von dieser Flüchtlingsbegeisterung echt war und wie viel womöglich „gekauft“ war, möchte nun der Münchner Stadtrat Karl Richter in einer Anfrage an die Stadtverwaltung wissen.
Richter, der für die NPD-nahe Bürgerinitiative Ausländerstopp (BIA) München schon zweimal in den Stadtrat gewählt wurde, hat mit Datum vom 14. September 2015 folgende Anfrage eingereicht:
„In Wien wurde mittlerweile bekannt, daß die vorgeblich engagierten ‚Flüchtlingshelfer‘ – zumindest zum Teil – von einer Zeitarbeitsfirma angeworben und für ihre PR-wirksamen Dienste entlohnt wurden. Demzufolge verschickte der Wiener Personaldienstleister ‚easystaff human & ressources GmbH‘ am Samstag, 05.09., eine E-Mail mit dem Betreff ‚Infopromotoren Westbahnhof und Hauptbahnhof‘, die folgenden Wortlaut hatte:
,Liebe easystaffer, am Hauptbahnhof und Westbahnhof werden heute noch sehr viele Flüchtlinge erwartet. Deswegen benötigen wir vor Ort helfende Hände, die Nahrungsmittel verteilen und vor allem auch den Fahrgästen an den Bahnhöfen Infos über Anschlusszüge und die Zugzeiten geben.
Ich suche noch Leute für die Schicht HEUTE 05.09.2015 von 15-24 Uhr.


Bezahlung: EUR 10,00/h. Ihr habt 1h unbezahlte Pause.
Hast Du Zeit? Dann melde dich super rasch per Mail bei mir. Solltest du morgen oder am Montag auch Zeit haben, kannst du dich auch gerne im Interessentenpool unter Projektnummer 8953 anmelden.‘
Diese E-Mail legt den Verdacht nahe, daß viele ‚freiwillige Helfer‘ in Wirklichkeit bezahlte Statisten eines von offiziöser Seite eingefädelten PR- und Propagandaprojekts sind. Das Jobinserat 8953 wurde von der Internetseite von easystaff.at inzwischen wieder entfernt. Auch in München machen in den letzten Tagen Berichte die Runde, wonach das ‚Willkommens‘-Schauspiel am Hauptbahnhof nicht ganz so spontan war, wie es die Medienberichterstattung vorzuspiegeln versucht. Auf Anfrage im direkten Gespräch räumten in den letzten Tagen mehrere Claqueure am Münchner Hauptbahnhof freimütig ein, daß sie für ihre Anwesenheit Geld erhielten. Hier stellen sich Fragen.
Ich frage den Oberbürgermeister:
1. Welche Informationen liegen der Stadt darüber vor, ob und in welchem Ausmaß auch in München Honorare für angeworbene ‚Willkommens‘-Claqueure bezahlt wurden (und werden)?
2. Welche Informationen liegen der LHM darüber vor, von welchen Auftraggebern – z.B. Zeitarbeitsfirmen – das ‚Willkommens‘-Publikum angeworben wurde? Inwieweit hat hier ggf. sogar die LHM selbst Aufträge vergeben?“
Die Beantwortung dieser Fragen wird nicht nur von Karl Richter mit Spannung erwartet. Die Stadtverwaltung teilt mit, dass sich die Anfrage „in Bearbeitung“ befindet.

40 Brazilian organisations protest appointment of new Israeli ambassador

Monday, 24 August 2015 14:46

Forty well-known Brazilian organisations have signed a public opinion statement condemning Israel’s nomination of Dani Dayan, former head of the pro-settler Yesha Council, as Israeli ambassador to Brazil.

In their statement, the organisations described Dayon’s nomination as a violation of international legitimacy and challenge to Brazil’s sovereignty and demanded their government reject Dayan’s nomination.

A copy of the statement was submitted to the regional office of the Brazilian Presidency in Sao Paulo.

The statement coincided with interventions made by a number of Brazilian parliamentarians who condemned the nomination of a settler as an ambassador, describing such a step as a challenge to Brazil’s sovereignty and its official political stance that accords with international law, and an assault on Brazilian diplomacy.

Sweden: 'No Apartments, No Jobs, No Shopping Without a Gun'

by Ingrid Carlqvist

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/66...-migrants-fear
Translation of the original text: Sverige: Inga lägenheter, inga jobb, ingen shopping utan vapen




Comment

• The Swedes see the welfare systems failing them. Swedes have had to get used to the government prioritizing refugees and migrants above native Swedes.
• "There are no apartments, no jobs, we don't dare go shopping anymore [without a gun], but we're supposed to think everything's great. ... Women and girls are raped by these non-European men, who come here claiming they are unaccompanied children, even though they are grown men. ... You Cabinet Ministers live in your fancy residential neighborhoods, with only Swedish neighbors. It should be obligatory for all politicians to live for at least three months in an area consisting mostly of immigrants... [and] have to use public transport." -- Laila, to the Prime Minister.
• "Instead of torchlight processions against racism, we need a Prime Minister who speaks out against the violence... Unite everyone. ... Do not make it a racism thing." -- Anders, to the Prime Minister.
• "In all honesty, I don't even feel they [government ministers] see the problems... There is no one in those meetings who can tell them what real life looks like." – Laila, on the response she received from the government.

The week after the double murder at IKEA in Västerås, where a man from Eritrea who had been denied asylum grabbed some knives and stabbed Carola and Emil Herlin to death, letters and emails poured into the offices of Swedish Prime Minister (PM) Stefan Löfven. Angry, despondent and desperate Swedes have pled with the Social Democratic PM to stop filling the country with criminal migrants from the Third World or, they write, there is a serious risk of hatred running rampant in Sweden. One woman suggested that because the Swedish media will not address these issues, Löfven should start reading foreign newspapers, and wake up to the fact that Sweden is sinking fast.

Carola Herlin, Director of the Moro Backe Health Center, was murdered on August 10, along with her son, in the IKEA store in Västerås, Sweden.

During the last few decades, Swedes have had to get used to the government (left and right wing parties alike) prioritizing refugees and migrants above native Swedes. The high tax level (the average worker pays 42% income tax) was been accepted in the past, because people knew that if they got sick, or when they retired or otherwise needed government aid, they would get it.
Now, Swedes see the welfare system failing them. More and more senior citizens fall into the "indigent" category; close to 800,000 of Sweden's 2.1 million retirees, despite having worked their whole lives, are forced to live on between 4,500 and 5,500 kronor ($545 - $665) a month. Meanwhile, seniors who immigrate to Sweden receive the so-called "elderly support subsidy" -- usually a higher amount -- even though they have never paid any taxes in Sweden.
Worse, in 2013 the government decided that people staying in the country illegally have a right to virtually free health and dental care. So while the destitute Swedish senior citizen must choose between paying 100,000 kronor ($12,000) to get new teeth or living toothless, a person who does not even have the right to stay in Sweden can get his teeth fixed for 50 kronor ($6).
The injustice, the housing shortage, the chaos surrounding refugee housing units and the sharp slide of Swedish students in PISA tests -- all these changes have caused the Swedes to become disillusioned. The last straw was that Prime Minister Löfven had nothing to say about the murders at IKEA.
Gatestone Institute contacted to the Swedish government, to obtain emails sent to the Prime Minister concerning the IKEA murders. According to the "principle of public access to official documents," all Swedes have the right to study public documents kept by authorities -- with no questions asked about one's identity or purpose. The government, however, was clearly less than enthusiastic about sharing the emails: It took a full month of reminders and phone calls before they complied with the request.
What follows are excerpts from emails sent from private citizens to Prime Minister Stefan Löfven:
From Mattias, a social worker and father of four, "a dad who wants my kids to grow up in Sweden the way I had the good fortune of doing, without explosions, hand grenades, car fires, violence, rape and murder at IKEA":

"Hi Stefan. I am a 43-year-old father of four, who is trying to explain to my children, ages 6-16, what is going on in Sweden. I am sad to say that you and your party close your eyes to what is happening in Sweden. All the things that are happening [are] due to the unchecked influx from abroad. You are creating a hidden hatred in Sweden. We are dissatisfied with the way immigration is handled in Sweden, from asylum housing to school issues. And it takes so long to get a job, many people give up before they even get close. Mattias"

Marcus, 21, wrote:

"Hi Stefan, I am one of the people who voted for you. I live in Helsingborg, still with my parents because there are no apartments available. I can see where I live that as soon as an old person moves out, eight foreigners immediately move in: they just bypass us young, Swedish people in line. With all that is going on in Sweden *-- rapes, robberies, the IKEA murders and so on -- why aren't non-Swedes sent back to their countries when they commit crimes? Of course we should help refugees, but they should be the right kind of refugees. ... I'm sorry to say this, Stefan, but the Sweden Democrats should be allowed to rule for four years and remove the people who do not abide by the laws, and who murder or destroy young women's lives. It is horrible, I have a job that pays poorly because there are no jobs. Sweden has more people than jobs."

Peter wrote:

"Esteemed Prime Minister. I am writing to you because I am very worried about the development in Swedish society. I am met daily by news of shootings, exploding hand grenades/bombs, beatings, rapes and murders. This is our Sweden, the country that, when you and I grew up, was considered one of the safest in the world.
"You, in your role as Prime Minister, have a responsibility to protect everyone in the land, regardless of whether they were born here or not. Unfortunately, I can see that you are not taking your responsibility seriously. I follow the news daily,and despite our now having suffered another act of madness, this time against a mother and son at IKEA, I do not see any commitment from you? ...
"You should emphatically condemn the violent developments we see in this country, allocate resources to the police, customs and district attorneys to slow and fight back (not just build levees and overlook) criminal activity."

Sebastian wrote:

"Hi Stefan! After reading about the horrible deed at IKEA in Västerås, I am now wondering what you are going to do to make me feel safe going to stores and on the streets of Sweden. What changes will there be to make sure this never happens again? Will immigration really continue the same way?"

Benny wrote:

"Hi, I'm wondering, why is the government quiet about such an awful incident? The whole summer has been characterized by extreme violence, shootings, knifings and explosions. The government needs to take vigorous action so we can feel safe."

Laila's subject line reads: "Is it supposed to be like this?"

"Are we supposed to go outside without arming ourselves? Rape after rape occurs and no one is doing anything about it. I was born and raised in Vårby Gård, but seven years ago, we had to move because we couldn't take the dogs out in the evenings due to the non-Europeans driving on the sidewalks. If you didn't move out of the way, they would jump out of the car and hit you. If you called the police, they do nothing -- in a suburb of Stockholm. When my brother told some of these men off, a rocket (the kind you use at New Year's) appeared in his mailbox. You can imagine how loud the blast was. Women and girls are raped by these non-European men, who come here claiming they are unaccompanied children, even though they are grown men....
"It is easy to get weapons today, I wonder if that is what we Swedes need to do, arm ourselves to dare to go shopping. Well, now I am getting to what happened at a major department store: Two people were killed and not just killed, there is talk online of beheading.
"The Prime Minister will not say a word, but resources are allocated to asylum housings, a slap in the face for the relatives who just had two of their kin slain. Swedish newspapers will not say a word, but fortunately, there are foreign newspapers that tell the truth. We Swedes can't change apartments, we live five people in three bedrooms. Two of us are unemployed, looking, looking and looking for work. The only option is employment agencies. I'm 50 years old, on part-time sick leave because of two chronic illnesses, I cannot run around from one place to another. But more and more asylum seekers keep coming in. There are no apartments, no jobs, we don't dare go shopping anymore, but we're supposed to think everything's great.
"Unfortunately, I believe the Prime Minister needs to start reading foreign newspaper to find out that Sweden is going under. I found out that the mass immigration costs billions every year, and the only thing the immigrants do is smoke waterpipes in places like Vårby Gård. This is happening in other places too, of course. Now it's starting to spread; you will see that in the opinion polls, next time they are published. Soon, all Swedes will vote for the Sweden Democrats. They are getting more and more supporters every day.
"You Cabinet Ministers do not live in the exposed areas, you live in your fancy residential neighborhoods, with only Swedish neighbors. It should be obligatory for all politicians to live for at least three months in an area consisting mostly of immigrants, the car should be taken from you so you'd have to use public transport. ... After three months, you would see my point.
"I am scared stiff of what is happening in this country. What will the government do about this?"

Anders wrote:

"Hi Stefan, why don't you, as our Prime Minister, react more against all the violence that is escalating in our country? [Such as] the double murder at IKEA in Västerås. Add to that the bombings and other things happening in Malmö. Instead of torchlight processions against racism, we need a Prime Minister who speaks out against the violence, who says that it's wrong no matter which ethnic group is behind it or at the receiving end of it.
"Because all the people living in Sweden are Swedish, right? A torchlight procession against racism only highlights the fact that it's immigrants committing these crimes. What we need now is a clear signal from our popularly elected [officials] that violence needs to stop now. Sweden is supposed to be a haven away from violence.
"I'm asking you as our Prime Minister, take a stand against the violence. Unite everyone in Sweden into one group and do not make it a racism thing."

Some of the people received a reply from Carl-Johan Friman, of the Government Offices Communications Unit; others have not received any reply at all. A typical response goes:

"Thank you for your email to Prime Minister Stefan Löfven. I've been asked to reply and confirm that your email has reached the Prime Minister's Office and is now available for the Prime Minister and his staff. It is of course not acceptable that people should be exposed to violence and criminal activities in their everyday life. Many efforts are made to counteract violence, and quite correctly, this needs to be done without pitting groups against each other. Thank you for taking the time to write and share your views, they are important in shaping government policies."

Gatestone Institute contacted Laila, one of the people who emailed, and asked her if she was satisfied with the answer she got. Laila replied:

"No, I'm not satisfied with the answer, because they didn't even respond to what I was talking about. In all honesty, I don't even feel they see the problems. They're talking about what it looks like when they have their meetings, but there's no one in those meetings who can tell them what real life looks like. It feels like the answer I got was just a bunch of nonsense. They understand that people are scared. They talk about demonstrating against racism; they seem to be completely lost. The politicians do not understand how things work in Swedish society, because they live in their safe, snug neighborhoods where things are quiet. But a lot of Swedes are forced to live in immigrant-heavy neighborhoods, because they cannot afford an apartment somewhere else."

The anger at the government's non-reaction to the IKEA-murders also led to a demonstration at Sergels Torg, Stockholm's main public square, on September 15. Hundreds of protesters demanded the government's resignation, and held a minute of silence for the slain mother and son, Carola and Emil Herlin. The organizers plan to hold similar protests every month throughout Sweden.

Die Asylkrise verunsichert die Österreicher: Deshalb steigen die Waffenkäufe.
Foto: Andrew Magill / flickr (CC BY 2.0)

So viel Geschäft für Österreichs Waffenhändler gab es noch nie. Wegen der Asylkrise rüsten die Österreicher zuhause auf. Immer mehr Leute kaufen sich Pistolen und Gewehre. Das zeigt die aktuelle Statistik des Innenministeriums.
898.385 Lang- und Faustfeuerwaffen sind derzeit in heimischen Haushalten untergebracht. Alleine im Zeitraum Juni 2014 bis September 2015 sind 61.432 Waffen dazugekommen. Gleichzeitig ist auch die Zahl der Waffenbesitzer gestiegen, und zwar um 14.310 auf 255.099 Personen.
Niederösterreicher besitzen die meisten Waffen
Die meisten Waffen, nämlich exakt 249.684 Stück, gibt es in Niederösterreich. Das Bundesland führt österreichweit auch bei den Waffenbesitzern (66.365), gefolgt von Oberösterreich (43.795) und der Steiermark (41.370). In der Bundeshauptstadt Wien sind 90.857 Waffen registriert. Wenig Grund zur Sorge sehen offenbar die Vorarlberger: Nur 7.125 Personen besitzen eine Waffe, insgesamt sind 22.723 Waffen registriert.
Den Grund warum die Österreicher aufrüsten, kennen die Waffenhändler genau: „Es gibt ein erhöhtes Sicherheitsbedürfnis in der Bevölkerung, Tendenz steigend“, schildert ein Verkäufer gegenüber der TageszeitungHeute. Immer mehr Menschen würden sich durch die sozialen Veränderungen der letzten Zeit verunsichert fühlen. Am gefragtesten sind übrigens Waffen, die der Selbstverteidigung dienen. Besonders Frauen kaufen immer öfter Pfeffersprays, berichten die Händler.

The Eurotunnel has repeatedly been forced to close because of migrant activityMore than 200 migrants broke into the Channel Tunnel shortly after midnight, more than half of whom made it a THIRD OF THE WAY to Britain before finally being intercepted by overwhelmed French police.
The huge crowd smashed down border fences paid for by Britain and completely overran security staff as part of a "planned invasion" of the Eurotunnel terminal at Coquelles.
Police eventually caught up with the group almost 10 miles into the tunnel, but things turned violent when they moved in to disperse the migrants.

Officers were forced to make 23 arrests, with six people being injured in the fracas.
In a separate incident a stampede of 300 migrants surged onto the motorway outside the port of Calais and started holding up and breaking into lorries.
Exhausted riot police moved in once more to break up the gathering, which appears to have been a coordinated attempt to overwhelm the authorities and truckers.

Eurotunnel services between Folkestone and Calais have now resumed, but passengers faced signiicant knock-on delays.
Officials believe the "large and co-ordinated" group planned the intrusion before attempting to reach Britain at around 12.30am on Saturday.
A Eurotunnel sokesman said: "It's a massive invasion and intrusion by a very large and co-ordinated group of migrants.
"They are being gathered up by the police authorities."

"They arrived together an in a well-organised manner, broke through the fences and all clearly knew where they were going."
"This information will be updated as soon as the service resumes.
"We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause to your journey."

It is not the first time that services between the UK and Fracnce have had to be suspended because migrants have broken onto the tracks outside Calais.
Britain pledged millions of pounds to improve fencing around the terminal and has also sent teams of police with sniffer dogs.
But the area is still under siege by migrants desperate to reach Britain.

Britain has pledged millions towards security costs – but it has not been entirely effectiveAt its peak, the number of attempts to board lorries or trains at Calais was around 2,000 a night.
Many migrants live in the infamous Jungle II camp on the outskirts of the French port town, which has become so large that it has its own church and school.
Earlier this week Eurotunnel drivers spoke of their fears that they could accidentally kill migrants on the tracks.

The CGT union wrote in an open letter: "Today, we are afraid. Afraid to start, afraid to finish, afraid to drive, afraid to hit, smash, electrocute."
Its spokesman Herve Gomet added: "Hitting a refugee with your train, seeing people die on the rails is really something traumatising.
"It's not by putting up ... barbed wire fences that the (problem) will be solved."

Germany's Sharia Refugee Shelters
"Bulk of Migrants Cannot Be Integrated"

• Christians, Kurds and Yazidis in the shelters are being attacked by Muslims with increasing frequency and ferocity.
• "I fled from the Iranian secret service because I thought that in Germany I could finally live my faith without persecution. But in the refugee shelter, I cannot admit that I am a Christian, or I would face threats... They treat me like an animal. They threaten to kill me." — An Iranian Christian in a German refugee shelter.
• "We have to dispense with the illusion that all of those who are coming here are human rights activists. ... We are getting reports of threats of aggression, including threats of beheading, by Sunnis against Shiites, but Yazidis and Christians are the most impacted. Those Christian converts who do not hide their faith stand a 100% probability of being attacked and mobbed." — Max Klingberg, director of the Frankfurt-based International Society for Human Rights.
• "We are observing that Salafists are appearing at the shelters disguised as volunteers and helpers, deliberately seeking contact with refugees to invite them to their mosques to recruit them to their cause." — Hans-Georg Maaßen, head of German intelligence.

Muslim asylum seekers are enforcing Islamic Sharia law in German refugee shelters, according to police, who warn that Christians, Kurds and Yazidis in the shelters are being attacked by Muslims with increasing frequency and ferocity.
Muslim migrants from different sects, clans, ethnicities and nationalities are also attacking each other. Violent brawls — sometimes involving hundreds of migrants — are now a daily occurrence.
Police say the shelters, where thousands of migrants are housed together in cramped spaces for months at a time, are seething cauldrons ready to explode. The police are urgently calling for migrants of different faiths to be housed in separate facilities.
Some politicians counter that such segregation would go against Germany's multicultural values, while others say that separating hundreds of thousands of migrants by religion and nationality would be a logistical impossibility.
As the consequences of unrestrained migration become apparent, the tide of public opinion is turning against the government's open-door policy. Observers say that German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the so-called most powerful woman in the world, may have met her Waterloo.
A report published by the newspaper Die Welt on September 27 sheds light on the targeting of Christians by Muslims in German refugee shelters. The paper interviewed an Iranian convert to Christianity who said:

"In Iran, the Revolutionary Guards arrested my brother in a house church. I fled from the Iranian secret service because I thought that in Germany I could finally live my faith without persecution. But in the refugee shelter, I cannot admit that I am a Christian, or I would face threats.
"Muslims wake me before the crack of dawn during Ramadan and say that I should eat before sunrise. When I decline, they call me a kuffar, an unbeliever. They spit at me. They treat me like an animal. They threaten to kill me."

At a refugee shelter in Hemer, a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, 10 Algerian asylum seekersattacked a Christian couple from Eritrea with glass bottles. The Muslims said they were angry that the man was wearing a cross. They ripped the cross from his neck and stole his money and cellphone.
Die Welt also interviewed an Iraqi Christian family from Mosul who were living at a refugee shelter in the Bavarian town of Freising. The father said that threats by Islamists were a daily fact of life. "They shouted at my wife and hit my child," he said. "They say: 'We will kill you and drink your blood.'" Life in the shelter, he said, was as if in a prison.
According to the director of the Munich-based Central Committee for Oriental Christians, Simon Jacob, these incidents are only "the tip of the iceberg." "The actual number of attacks is very high," he said. "We have to expect further conflict, which the migrants bring to Germany from their homelands. Between Christians and Muslims. Between Shiites and Sunnis. Between Kurds and extremists. Between Yazidis and extremists."
Max Klingberg, the director of the Frankfurt-based International Society for Human Rights (Internationale Gesellschaft für Menschenrechte, IGFM), says that much of the aggression is being perpetrated by Afghans and Pakistanis, who are "even more Islamic than some Syrians and Iraqis." He warns that conflict in the refugee shelters will only become worse:

"We have to dispense with the illusion that all of those who are coming here are human rights activists. Among those who are arriving here now, a substantial number are at least as religiously intense as the Muslim Brotherhood.
"We are getting reports of threats of aggression, including threats of beheading, by Sunnis against Shiites, but Yazidis and Christians are the most impacted. Those Christian converts who do not hide their faith stand a 100% probability of being attacked and mobbed."

In a September 29 interview with the newspaper Passauer Neue Presse, the head of the German police union (Deutschen Polizeigewerkschaft, DPolG), Rainer Wendt, warned that "brutal criminal structures" have taken over the refugee shelters and that police are overwhelmed and unable to guarantee safety and security. He called for Christians and Muslims to be separated before someone gets killed:

"We have been witnessing this violence for weeks and months. Groups based on ethnicity, religion or clan structures go after each other with knives and homemade weapons. When these groups fight each other at night, all those German citizens who welcomed the migrants with open arms at the Munich train station are fast asleep, but the police remain awake and are left standing in the middle...
"We can only estimate the true extent of violence because women and children are often afraid to file a complaint. Since it is also about sexual abuse and rape...
"Sunnis are fighting Shiites, there are Salafists from competing groups. They are trying to impose their rules in the shelters. Christians are being massively oppressed and the Sharia is being enforced. Women are forced to cover up. Men are forced to pray. Islamists want to introduce their values and order at the shelters.

Wendt gave the interview days after 300 Albanian migrants clashed with 70 Pakistani migrants at a refugee shelter in Calden, a town in the state of Hesse, on September 27. More than a dozen people, including three police officers, were injured in the melee, which erupted after two migrants got into a fight while waiting in line at the canteen. It took 50 police officers several hours to restore order at the shelter, which is home to 1,500 migrants from 20 different countries.
More than 60 migrants, including ten children, were injured after Pakistanis and Syriansclashed at the same shelter on September 13. The fight broke out just after midnight, when someone sprayed mace into a tent filled with sleeping migrants. Police did not inform the public about the fight for more than a week, apparently to prevent fueling anti-immigrant sentiments.
Violent brawls are becoming commonplace at German refugee shelters across the country.

In the past two months alone, dozens of violent brawls and riots between different groups of migrants have erupted in Germany's refugee shelters.

On September 30, migrants went on a rampage at a refugee center in Braunschweig, a city in Lower Saxony. On September 29, Syrian migrants clashed at a refugee shelter inGerolzhofen, a small town in Bavaria. Also on September 29, migrants from Algeria and Maliclashed at a refugee center in Engelskirchen, a town in North Rhine-Westphalia.
On September 28, more than 150 Syrians and Pakistanis clashed at a refugee shelter on Nöthnitzer Straße in Dresden. The migrants attacked each other with wooden planks and metal bars. Two dozen police officers were needed to restore order. More than 30 Syrians and Pakistanis clashed at the same shelter on August 10.
Also on September 28, between 100 and 150 migrants of different nationalities clashed at a refugee shelter in Donaueschingen, a town in the Black Forest. The trouble started over a dispute about who should be able to use the shower facilities first. On September 22, more than 400 migrants marched through town to protest conditions at the same facility. On September 15, a male migrant was attacked by another migrant for using a female bathroom at the shelter.
On September 24, around 100 Syrians and Afghans clashed at a refugee shelter in Leipzig, the largest city in Saxony. The fight broke out after a 17-year-old Afghan pulled a knife on an 11-year-old Syrian girl at the shelter, which houses 1,800 migrants. On September 23, migrants clashed at a refugee shelter for unaccompanied minors in Nuremberg.
On September 3, Syrian migrants attacked security guards at a refugee shelter in the Moabit district of Berlin. Also on September 3, Iraqi migrants attacked security guards at a refugee shelter in Heidelberg. A total of 21 squad cars were dispatched to restore order. On September 2, Algerian and Tunisian migrants clashed at the same shelter. A dozen police cars were deployed to restore order.
On September 3, migrants clashed at a refugee shelter in Hövelhof, a town in North Rhine-Westphalia. On September 2, migrants clashed at a refugee facility in Wolgast, a town in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Also on September 2, migrants clashed at a refugee center inGütersloh, a town in North Rhine-Westphalia.
On September 1, migrants clashed at a refugee shelter in Delitzsch, a town in Saxony. A 27-year-old Tunisian migrant was killed after being stabbed by a 27-year-old migrant from Morocco. Also on September 1, a 15-year-old Somali migrant stabbed a 15-year-old Egyptian migrant with a scissors at a refugee center in the Groß Borstel district of Hamburg.
On September 1, Somali, Syrian and Albanian migrants clashed at a refugee center inTegernsee, a small town in Bavaria. Also on September 1, migrants clashed at a refugee shelter in Heidelberg.
On August 31, Libyan and Tunisian migrants clashed at a refugee shelter in Hoyerswerda, a town in Saxony. Also on August 31, migrants clashed with each other and with security guards at a refugee shelter in Heidelberg. On August 30, a 25-year-old Sudanese migrant was arrested for going on a rampage at a refugee shelter in Jesteburg, a small town in Lower Saxony.
On August 29, a 17-year-old Algerian migrant was arrested for robbing the cellphones of other migrants at a refugee center in Elzach, a town in Baden-Württemberg. On August 25, 60 migrants went on a rampage at a refugee shelter in Karlsruhe.
On August 24, a migrant from Montenegro was stabbed by a migrant from Algeria at a refugee shelter in Seevetal, a town in Lower Saxony.
On August 22, Afghan migrants clashed at a refugee shelter in Rotenburg, a town in Hesse. Also on August 22, at least 20 migrants went on a rampage at a refugee center in Grafing, a town near Munich.
On August 21, migrants clashed at a refugee facility in Schwetzingen, also in Baden-Württemberg. Also on August 21, migrants clashed at a refugee center in the Marienthal district of Hamburg.
On August 16, 50 migrants attacked each other with broken tree branches, umbrellas and trash cans at a refugee center in Friedland, a town in Lower Saxony. The facility, which has a capacity of 700, is home to 2,400 migrants.
On August 19, at least 20 Syrian migrants staying at an overcrowded refugee shelter in the eastern German town of Suhl tried to lynch an Afghan migrant after he tore pages from a Koran and threw them in a toilet. More than 100 police officers intervened; they were attacked with stones and concrete blocks. Seventeen people were injured in the melee, including 11 refugees and six police officers. The Afghan is now under police protection. The president of the German state of Thuringia, Bodo Ramelow, said that to avoid similar violence in the future, Muslims of different nationalities must be separated.
On August 10, 40 migrants clashed at a refugee shelter on Bremer Straße in Dresden.
On August 1, 50 Syrians and Afghans clashed at the same shelter. More than 80 police officers were needed to restore order.
According to Jörg Radek, the vice chairman of Germany's police union, (Gewerkschaft der Polizei, GdP), police have reached the "absolute breaking point," and Christian and Muslim migrants should be housed separately. In a September 28 interview with the newspaper Die Welt, Radek said:

"Our officers are increasingly being called to respond to confrontations in refugee shelters. When there are 4,000 people in a shelter which only has space for 750, this leads to aggression where even something as insignificant as a walk to the restroom can lead to fisticuffs.
"We must do everything we can to prevent further outbreaks of violence. I think it makes perfect sense to separate migrants according to their religion."

Not everyone agrees. In an interview with N24 television, the former mayor of the Neukölln district of Berlin, Heinz Buschkowsky, warned that if migrants are separated by religion and nationality, Germany risks the permanent establishment of parallel societies throughout the country.
Buschkowsky said the first lesson migrants must learn when they arrive in Western countries is tolerance, and if they refuse to accept people of other faiths, their asylum applications should be rejected. He expressed pessimism about the possibility of integrating the current wave of migrants into German society: "The bulk of the migrants who are arriving here cannot be integrated."
Meanwhile, the head of German intelligence, Hans-Georg Maaßen, was warned that radical Muslims in Germany are canvassing the refugee shelters looking for new recruits. He said:

"Many of the asylum seekers have a Sunni religious background. In Germany there is a Salafist scene that sees this as a breeding ground. We are observing that Salafists are appearing at the shelters disguised as volunteers and helpers, deliberately seeking contact with refugees to invite them to their mosques to recruit them to their cause."

The editor of the newspaper Neue Westfälische, Ansgar Mönter, reports that Salafists in Bielefeld, a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, have already infiltrated refugee centers in the area by bringing toys, fruits and vegetables for the migrants.
Mönter says "naïve" politicians are contributing to the radicalization of refugees by are asking Muslim umbrella groups in the country to reach out to the migrants.
Mönter points out that the main Muslim groups in Germany all adhere to fundamentalist interpretations of Islam and are anti-Western in outlook. Some groups have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood while others want to implement Sharia law in Germany. According to Mönter, politicians should not be encouraging these groups to establish contact with the new migrants.
