Changing The Past To Change The Future

The Inundation Of Lampedusa

Last week, the Italian island of Lampedusa was effectively invaded by thousands of African migrants, who are being transported to the Italian mainland, and from there, likely throughout the rest of Western Europe. 

How We Got Here 

Globalist Subversion

This all seems very preventable: Sub-Saharan Africa is separated from Europe by the Sahara Desert as well as the Mediterranean Sea, and Sub-Saharan Africa was never known for its seafarers. That the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe lay less than 200 miles off the coast of West Africa, and the first humans to land there were Portuguese, rather than West Africans, testifies to this. In fact, many Africans don't make it far from the coast of North Africa before ships manned by NGOs pick them up and transport them to Europe. 

NATO's Destruction Of Libya

Those NGOs, and their globalist backers, are one element of the attempt to Africanize Europe. Another element was NATO's war against Muamar Gaddafi in Libya. Gaddafi famously warned that Europe would "turn black" if he didn't keep a lid on migration through Libya; with NATO's help, rebels killed Gaddafi; flash forward a dozen years you see what happened in Lampedusa this week. 

A War Of Ideas

The third element has been a war of ideas, suppressing prescient warnings what has happened, and retconning the history of Europe to pretend that it has always had a substantial African population.

Fifty years ago, the French writer Jean Raspail wrote a novel called The Camp of the Saints which predicted Europe would be inundated with third world migrants and that European leaders would be too feckless to stop the boats. In Raspail's novel, the migrants came from India (at the time he wrote it, Africa's population was about 1/7th as large as it is today), otherwise, his book was extremely prescient. Maybe you'd like to buy a copy? Good luck: the English translation of it is out of print, and hard copies of it are selling for nearly $2,000 on Amazon. 

Maybe you can get it on Kindle? Nope, not available. And the paperbacks start at $250. 

Do you think it's an accident that a famously prescient and timely novel is so hard to buy today? Kind of odd, no? That's one front in the war of ideas, burying the warnings. 

The other front in this war of ideas is retconning the past. An example of that is the video in the post below, from a BBC children's show, claiming that blacks have been in Britain since ancient times. 

Expect similar propaganda to appear elsewhere in Europe. When Europeans object to the transformation of their countries, they will be told their countries were always like this. He who controls the past controls the future. 

In Case You Missed It

In a post yesterday, we wrote about an oversold materials stock that could be ripe for a bounce if short sellers are forced to cover.
