I had the great privilege of filming an interview with Hege Storhaug, a Norwegian human rights activist and close friend of Bruce Bawer, scheduled to speak in Ottawa June 8 2011 for the Free Thinking Film Society.She spoke on the consequences of Islamic immigration to Scandinavia and especially Norway. I will be filing her speech tomorrow night and expect to have it up within 48 hours. The interview with her was delightful, although no surprise to readers of Vlad. Still, it is interesting to hear what a moderate has to say about the consequences of Islam to Europe has to say. Vlad Tepes blog. (Event.

“Britain, The Soviet Union with supermarkets”
In England the ranks of the unemployed have been transferred to the ranks of the chronic sick to foster the illusion, that unemployment has gone away and that our economy is growing so healthly, that it needs foreign labour to sustain it. In actual fact, the welfare state in Britain has achieved the miracle of creating more invalids than the first world war, precisely at the time when the health of the population is by far the best it has ever been and second, when work requires less less physical strength to complete it than at any time in human history.

Spengler: Israels dominans i fremtidens Mellemøsten
Fremskrivningerne som pseudonymet Spengler her laver kommer godt nok på tværs af de fornemmelser en mindre informeret blogger som undertegnede kan have, men holder tendenserne, ser meget, isoleret set, langt mere fortrøstningsfuldt ud end man kunne have ventet. Nåh ja, også hos Spengler er Europas kulturelle og demografiske selvmord en givet ting, og de endeløse strømme af fattige fra fallerede mellemøstlige regimer kan måske ikke udgøre en strategisk, militær trussel imod Israel, men deres blotte tilstedeværelse i Europa vil effektivt kunne blive et strategisk dødsstød mod det døende kontinent (LFPC).
[…] This [Israels teknologiske og kulturelle succes, LFPC], I believe, explains the implacable hostility of Israel’s neighbors, as well as the Europeans. It is the unquenchable envy of the dying towards the living. Having failed at Christianity, and afterward failed at neo-pagan nationalism, Europe has reconciled itself to a quiet passage into oblivion.
Israel’s success is a horrible reminder of European failure; its bumptious nationalism grates against Europe’s determination to forget its own ugly embrace of nationalism; and its implicitly religious raison d’etre provokes post-Christian rage. Above all, it offends Europe that Israel brims with life. Some of Europe’s great nations may not survive the present century. At constant fertility, Israel will have more citizens than any of the Eastern European countries where large numbers of Jews resided prior to the Holocaust. […]
What happens to Egypt and Syria in this scenario is of small importance. Neither country will come out of the present crisis in any condition to fight, if they come out of it at all. Egypt’s social structure – with two-fifths of the country immured in extreme rural poverty, and another quarter starving on thin subsidies in Cairo and Alexandria – simply is not viable. […]
Refugees from Libya and Tunisia have swamped the refugee camps on the closest Italian island, and hundreds have drowned in small boats attempting to cross the Mediterranean. By the end of this year, tourists on the Greek islands may see thousands of small boats carrying hungry Egyptians seeking help. Europe’s sympathy for the Arab side may vanish under an inundation of refugees.
Events are most likely to overtake diplomacy. The sort of economic and demographic imbalances implied by the projections shown above reflect back into the present. Chaos in Egypt, Syria and other Arab countries probably will pre-empt the present focus on Israel and the Palestinians. It would not be surprising if the Palestinians were to mount another Intifada, or Egypt and Syria were to initiate one last war against Israel. It might be their last opportunity.
But I rate the probably of another war at well under 50%. The internal problems of Egypt and Syria are more likely to make war too difficult to wage. Spengler: Israel as Middle Eastern hegemon
