The Barcelona Declaration 1995

[Khandro]

Do you know what it was? if not, you really should, this was the gateway to "Eurasia".

[fiction-factory]

Lots of valid problems identified but no real solutions given apart from the "stand up to Islam" statement at the end which wasn't explained/clarified

[Spicerack]

Heard that the other day, Khandro. Interesting stuff.

[fiction-factory]

And if she thinks the mainstream media are hiding lots of things she mustn't be including the Daily Mail

//43 leaders from Europe and the Mediterranean countries met (in Paris) with UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and EU Commission President José Manuel Barroso. In addition, representatives of the World Bank and the European Investment Bank, the Arab League, the Islamic Conference Organization and the Maghreb Union were present - a forum at the highest level. (Der Spiegel Online 14. July 2008).//

You would have thought that this was headline news back then, but no, secrecy was the order of the day. Now you know where Bliar and Meddlesome and the like get their massive overnight wealth.

Instead of taking the word of a woman who doesn't even know the meaning of the word "decimated", you might like to check out the Wikipedia article. Although many of you will probably find it too long and detailed to cope with.

Looks like Balderdash to me. If the secret agreement did allow free movement of Muslims into the EU then why are so many coming across on lifeboats- surely flights or cruise ships would be organised

[fiction-factory]

I meant teh balder.org stuff looked balderdash, not your post TheChair

Did I mishear- did she say there were 70 mosques in the UK? If so., I reckon I have seen them all

Wikipedia? The font of all knowledge, or a vehicle for the manipulation of truth?

That, er, ship has already sailed.

Nothing so blatant as that FF. But it does allow, encouraged and funded by Islamic Regimes, millions of eerrr "refugees" to reach the North Coast of Africa. Where passage is arranged by, eerr Muslim traffickers.

[Khandro]

I don't know why she said 70 mosques, she obviously knows there are more, 162 in Birmingham alone and at least 1,750 registered mosques in the UK, must have been a slip of the tongue.
Re. the word decimate;
Does ‘decimate’ mean ‘destroy one tenth’?
Most people have a linguistic pet peeve or two, a useful complaint about language that they can sound off about to show other people that they know how to wield the English language. Most of these peeves tend to be rather irrational, a quality which should in no way diminish the enjoyment of the complainer. A classic example of this is the word decimate.
The complaint about the word typically centers on the fact that decimate is used improperly to refer to ‘destroying a large portion of something’, when the ‘true’ meaning of the word is ‘to put to death (or punish) one of every ten’.
There are several problems with this complaint. The first, and most obvious, is that language has an ineluctable desire to change, and there are almost no words in English which have been around for more than a few hundred years without taking on new meanings, changing their old ones, or coming to simultaneously mean one thing and the opposite (a type of word known as a contronym).

[jim360]

Entirely unrelated to the OP, but on the subject of "decimated", there was a story some time ago, possibly in Readers' Digest, about a woman moaning loudly to her daughter about a fox having "decimalised" her chickens. But surely you mean "decimated", the daughter asked?

"No, I mean decimalised. I used to have 12, but after the fox came I have 10."

[Khandro]

:0) She sounds like Dickens' Mrs Gamp, jim.
I've no wish to labour the point here on the thread, but if anyone is interested there is lots more from where I took my quote;

Nope it is pretty straight forward, although the reader does need to have a working knowledge of "Newspeak". A covert social experiment that is being steered and presided over by "Executives" and a Secretariat (or Bailiwick if you please) who are not elected by the people on whom they have the most destructive impact, but appointed, in secret, by the "people" who have most to gain from the folly.

[Khandro]

This video is a bit longer and he really explains the Barcelona Declaration, what it has come to mean, and how the EU got us into the mess we are now finding ourselves in;

Have seen Michael Black's videos before Khandro, but have not caught that one before. Excellent synopsis. Scottish education? The Yanis Varoufakis video that follows it is worth a listen too.

Further to Michael Black's excellent video posted above (thanks for the name togo) this;

EU: Delusions without Borders
by Judith Bergman • September 21, 2017 at 5:00 am

◾Many migrants simply refused to leave, disappeared, or their home countries refused to receive them.

◾The European Commission published a "report card" on the EU member states' "progress" in taking the allocated quotas of migrants. Even Sweden, on the brink of societal collapse from the influx of migrants, was told that it was only "close" to reaching its quota.

◾ISIS apparently has at its disposal some 11,000 stolen blank Syrian passports that it could put to use in order to smuggle its terrorists into Europe under fake identities; at the same time, more European ISIS fighters are expected to return to Europe. Why does the EU want to make it easy for them?

[ichkeria]

Bonkers.
The reason you've not heard about this before is of course because the "mainstream media" refuses to report it. But now thanks to social meeja,, blah blah blah.
I could write this stuff myself :-)

[Khandro]

ichi; You just did. Everything he says is verifiable and is gone into in minute detail in Eurabia The Euro-Arab Asia by the Egyptian woman intellectual; Bat Ye'or, but at 382 pages in length it's perhaps too demanding for you, you might find yourself having to think, which would make a nice change.
