Overnight Open Thread (9-7-2015) – Living Like a Refugee Edition
And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison, and will go forth and deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, and will gather them together for the battle; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up over the breadth of the earth and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city.
-- Revelation 20:7-9 from whence the novel, Camp of the Saints, takes its name
Actually we can't do what we like with [Britain]. We inherited it from our parents and grandparents and we have a duty to hand it on to our children and grandchildren, preferably improved and certainly undamaged. It is one of the heaviest responsibilities we will ever have. We cannot just give it away to complete strangers on an impulse because it makes us feel good about ourselves.Every one of the posturing notables simpering 'refugees welcome' should be asked if he or she will take a refugee family into his or her home for an indefinite period, and pay for their food, medical treatment and education.
If so, they mean it. If not, they are merely demanding that others pay and make room so that they can experience a self-righteous glow.
-- Peter Hitchens
Berlin has said it expects to receive a record 800,000 asylum seekers this year, more than the entire EU combined in 2014, laying bare the scale of the biggest refugee crisis to face the continent since the second world war.
Moe Lane on the Word of the Day: Völkerwanderung
German word, obviously: Völkerwanderung more or less means 'folk migration.' Admittedly, Iron Age European history is a little outside of my patch, but I do seem to recall that the Roman Empire (and later, its successor states*) had to deal with lots of people moving to where there wasn't a war. Or at least to where the people moving could win a war.
And while Germany and Sweden are welcoming up to 1-2 million refugees with official open-arms, other EU nations are not nearly so enamored with taking them in:
The Netherlands Crack Down on Asylum Seekers
While Germany opened up its doors to make it easier for those arriving at its borders and France criticised Hungary over its new 110-mile razor wire fence, the Dutch government was going in a different direction.From November, any migrant who refused refugee status or humanitarian protection will be given less than a month before they are deported or told to fend for themselves.
As part of the measures, the government wants to shut down 30 regional "bed, bath and bread" centres where asylum seekers can find shelter, regardless of the status of their application.

Denmark Starts Publishing Ads in Lebanese Newspapers Warning Asylum Seekers Away
Slovakia Declares That It Will Only Accept Christian Refugees
Hungary Builds 106 Mile Barbed Wire Fence, Threatens to Halt Rail Traffic to Stem Refugee Tide
Bookworm on the Mass Muslim Migration into Europe
Europe is also a reminder to be careful what you wish for, because you might get it. Europe wanted a Judenrein continent. Well, as matters now stand, their malevolent oral and financial attacks on Israel will have succeeded, once and for all, in driving the Jews out. But by empowering the Muslims, their tactics will also drive out the Europeans, whether by turning them into refugees, or through their slaughter, conversion, or enslavement.But Bookworm, you sound so callous, so hard? What about the children?
What about them? They're pawns and pawns always get sacrificed.
As you know, when the world is upset, and most certainly when non-Judeo-Christian cultures are involved, the children always die. That's a dreadful reality.
And you've probably seen this picture of a Syrian child who drowned with his mother and sibling while trying to make it to Greece.
It's sad but remember that the proximate cause of his death was his parents' deliberate choice to take him on a sea journey in a flimsy boat. Their bad choices killed him - not Europe. And also pretty much everything you've heard about this story from the father is bullshit. They had a safe life in Turkey but decided that they really wanted to live better in Germany or Canada.
CDR Salamander: The Waves Have Already Started
No, this is new. The migrants are coming in waves 100,000 strong, month by month to already crowded nations under economic stress and beset with welfare state largess.These nations do not demand new arrivals assimilate, and in a large measure, the new arrivals don't want to. With modern communication and entertainment a satellite dish away, they don't have to break from the home language and culture they are bringing and keeping is the same culture of violence, sectarianism, corruption and dependence that caused the source country's dysfunction in the first place.
Their foreign and often hostile culture, if not checked to manageable numbers and smart policies, will overwhelm their target nations and inside half a century. Those nations as well will fail as their civil society fractures and loses its ability to function as designed for a nation and culture that no longer exists.
...The time for easy solutions is past. The last generation or two threw that opportunity away. Doing nothing is not an option because, eventually, this migration will shift to invasion in the mind of a plurality of each nation's citizens. When that happens, if good political leaders do not act, the people will turn to whatever leader promises actions. That rarely is the better outcome.
No nation is required to commit suicide, and leaders who desire to fundamentally transform their nations should not expect for their population to allow that change to be done against the will of the people - if indeed the people ever decide their national culture is worth defending anymore.
Why the Refugees Are Making a Beeline for Germany and Sweden
Under the rules that govern how Europe handles new arrivals, known as the Dublin Regulation, migrants can be sent back to the first E.U. nation they entered. Because its reception facilities are so bad, the rule does not apply to Greece. And some nations, including Sweden and Germany, have said they will waive the rules for Syrians.
There isn't a uniform benefits system, either, with nations such as Hungary offering little compared with Germany and Sweden. Acceptance rates also vary dramatically. Hungary, for instance, is granting asylum to only a fraction of 1 percent of applicants, according to UNHCR. Germany, meanwhile, has a nearly 40 percent acceptance rate - and almost 90 percent for Syrians.
Swedish Newspaper Outs Anti-Immigration Blogger
'Julia Caesar', an anonymous right-wing blogger who has blasted Swedish journalists for writing an "epoch of lies" about the benefits of immigration, is herself a former reporter for Sweden's biggest broadsheet, Dagens Nyheter, according to a Swedish tabloid....On Wednesday, Sweden's Expressen tabloid revealed that the blogger - who has also published three books - is herself a former journalist for Dagens Nyheter (DN), a Swedish newspaper. . . .
"It is clear that it is not an obvious decision to publish the name of somebody who wants to remain anonymous," wrote Expressen's Head of Culture and Deputy Managing Editor at Expressen, Karin Olsson as the newspaper exposed Barbro Jöberger as being behind the far-right blog.
"But given her great influence and role in alternative debates online, we have decided that her name should be made available so that we are able to have an open debate."
"It is reasonable that such an influential opinion maker should be made accountable," she said.
C'est reasonable pour encourager les autres.
Spengler on the The Price of Europe's Fecklessness
At this point the floodgates of European sympathy opened, and Germany declared that it would accept 800,000 fugitives, including many from the world's most brutal war zones. From a security standpoint it is foolhardy in the extreme: 250,000 people have died in Syria's civil war since 2011 because other people killed them, mostly with small arms or improvised explosives (such as the government's notorious "barrel bombs"). Such killing is a labor-intensive affair, and requires the participation of many thousands of killers. It is isn't only that ISIS (and other jihadists) are able to smuggle to Europe as many of their operatives as they care to, as ISIS itself purportedly boasts. The refugee population itself is flush with killers from both sides fleeing the war. The presence of small children does not obviate this; killers have families, too.The Arab Gulf States accept very few Syrian refugees out of security concerns which are entirely legitimate. Thousands of Syrian migrants fought either with the Assad regime (allied to Iran, the nemesis of the Sunni Gulf States) or ISIS and al-Qaeda (which want to overthrow the Saudi monarchy).
The social pathologies that this brutal and brutalized population bring Europe will change Germany in a predictably nasty way. Even worse, the open door policy will attract an order of magnitude more such refugees, as the Interior Minister of the State of Bavaria, Joachim Herrmann, warned yesterday. To no avail: Germans have spent the past seventy years feeling badly about themselves and are determined to take this opportunity to feel good about themselves.
The refugees have given the Germans the sort of frisson of good feeling that one gets from adopting a stray puppy. This one redemptive act, they seem to believe, compensates for the country's criminal behavior during the middle of the past century. It is one thing to take in one stray, however, and quite another to find a pack of hungry dogs baying at one's door. At that point one calls the dog-catcher.

Army Selects Rarely Used Charge For Bergdahl Court-martial
Military prosecutors have reached into a section of military law seldom used since World War II in the politically fraught case against Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the soldier held prisoner for years by the Taliban after leaving his post in Afghanistan. Observers wondered for months if Bergdahl would be charged with desertion after the deal brokered by the U.S. to bring him home. He was - but he was also charged with misbehavior before the enemy, a much rarer offense that carries a stiffer potential penalty in this case.

There aren't because the Europeans are constantly ceding internal territory to Muslims. This will just speed up the process. I figure the elites of Europe will either leave or convert once the Muslim population hits 25%.
It would be more interesting if it wasn't for the fact we are in the process of doing the same thing except with Hispanics. Although they are doing all they can to import more Muslims (Bush isn't blameless here either).
Bookworm is wrong on one point. Jews tend to promote multi-cultural societies in the mistaken belief it will keep them from being singled out. It's just not working out like they thought.

If a few nukes actually fly (and I think the first targets might be Sunni cities like Doha and Riyadh), then it will be a tidal wave of refugees.
The next wave will be when ISIS / Sunnis win in Syria, and then start to ethnically cleanse Syria of non-Sunni Muslims and other ethnics that were tolerated under Assad. What Muslims do best, kill each other.

If it gets so bad that *something* must get done, then instead of importing their problem, we should export our solution:
Invade. Kill anyone who tries to stop us. Declare protectorate. Mandate the teaching and use of English. And since we'll be accused of that anyway, steal their oil.
Since we'll be called "imperial" and "colonizers" anyway, just might as well reap the benefits of the same.

I casually know the guy. Stopped by the hardware store, and there it was. The Prince of Darkness strikes when least expected. The guy that owns it is not a 'car guy', but likes the idea of occasionally driving about in a sports car. He has owned it for 15 years, but knows nothing about it, technically. Just drives it. The under hood condition is pretty bad. Neglect.
Note that it is the troublesome three carb model.
He had been in shopping, came and out the car would not start. There was a tinge of gasoline odor about, so I do not think the problem was fuel. He ran the battery down trying to crank it, thus the jumper cables. I tried to assist, but the guy is too ignorant to understand simple ignition electronics, and resisted (another pun!) my polite efforts. Last thing I heard him say was, "I'm calling a tow truck".

And as a reminder of where the word vandal comes from:
The Vandals were an East Germanic tribe, or group of tribes, who were first heard of in southern Poland, but later moved around Europe establishing kingdoms in Spain and later North Africa in the 5th century.
Oh and South America is falling apart too -- Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela are all pretty sickly. Mexico isn't far behind. It's gonna get sporty, folks.

But where will they go? Where is left?
Why -- the good ol' USA, of course.
But should we take them ALL in? No. Let's not repeat the foolish mistake the Europeans just made. Let's be selective and only allow in those whom we want.
To that end, I suggest these be the priority categories for admitting European refugees in the coming years and decades:
-- Italian women between the ages of 18 and 32, and under 135 pounds;
-- German engineers;
-- British actors;
-- Portuguese soccer players;
-- long-legged Ukrainian picture brides;
-- Swiss bankers;
-- and absolutely no Frenchmen.
Any other suggestions for the Immigration Act of 2018?

You'll need to get them in order.
The disastrous turn-out of the 9-Dash-Line War, which pretty much forfeited most if not all American influence in the S. China Sea, will initiate the 2nd American Civil War.
Meanwhile, seeing America at her weakest point since the 1800s will cause Putin to speed up his plans in forming his "New Russia". Regardless of who wins the resulting Iran-Israel dust-up, Europe will continue to speed into the Islamic Caliphate void.

Most illegals that come here both send home money AND get benefits. A lot of them live better on the benefits than they could with just wages in their home countries.
A lot of them are skirting the law, so they also don't report under the table work, and such caring things such as work under multiple false SSN that allow the under reporting of wages to qualify for benies.
We cannot have open borders and a welfare state. These illegal workers come to the US and not only is their employment subsidized by legal workers and businesses TO A GREATER AMOUNT than what the illegal workers contribute, the legal workers are experiencing wage suppression in the face of illegal workers undercutting by accepting less wages.
In fact THOSE HORRIBLE CORPORATIONS are not only being subsidized by YOUR TAX MONEY to CHEAT ILLEGALS with lower wages, their use and preference for CHEAP THIRD WORLD LABOR makes legal workers PAY HIGHER TAXES to subsidize CHEAP LABOR to steal their jobs.
So, you should be happy and feel all fuzzy inside because you are making a difference.

I base this on watching a couple of these cartel murders by axe. It takes a lot of whacks to separate your head. And having your head on a block did not make it easier. I saw that in a documentary where they said the best way was for the condemned to lay flat which rarely happened.

Supposedly the Turkish way to behead a kneeling prisoner was to stab them in a kidney first so they would arch the neck back and both channel the blow and make sure the jawbone was out of the line of the stroke, but I suspect the normal stance for the victim is huddled down with the jaw tucked - that is a stance that will reflect some of the blow.

I suspect the invaders of Europe are a few degrees tougher, smarter and more dangerous than the ones who threaten the US.
That doesn't mean the ones here get a pass.
I think the border could be solved very cheaply with volunteer militia charged with maintaining an armed watch over every inch of the border. (changes in manning per area can be modified after enough experience).
Surely there'll be people lining up to have a chance to man such a force.
Oh did I mention that it's weapons free 50 yards either side of the border?

We have the right and duty to close our borders.
We have the right and duty to either ship who we catch back to their nations - or execute them as non-uniformed invaders - spies, in common terms. It is acceptable and customary to execute invaders without uniforms as spies.

Point taken, but mohammedanism also devalues females. A guy raised under a different authoritarian system (Nazi Germany, Soviet Union) probably would have taken care of his wife and daughters before saving his own ass, but as a mohammedan he most likely views his wife and daughters as nothing but holes to stick his dick into, not as real people.

No one but me. Some seem to hint, but none come out and explicitly teach the way that sovereignty, the rules and customs of War, and relations between Nations (International Law dating from the post-French Revolutionary period in the 19th Century) interact and restrict the crypto-communistic partial war treaties of the 20th Century that most people think are the ONLY sources of international law (United Nations treaties & Geneva Convention(s))
Control over a nation's borders are intrinsic to their legitimacy. A question posed by a foreign nation through an invasion of their citizens into another is an act of war. An invasion does not require tanks or artillery. A man with an empty belly, aimed at a frontier by their country or leaders with the company of a handful of others is an attempt to overthrow the legitimacy of a nation's rule.
Mexico has declared war on the US.
By teaching their people that "reconquista" is a thing to be accomplished- in the lessons taught in their goverment schools - the Goverment of Mexico is guilty of violating the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo of 1949 - and in so doing has ensured that legally, a state of War exists yet again between our two nations.
Mexico must be punished.

In case you missed it, you can find American (and some Canadian and Euro) entrepreneurs in many South and Central American countries. But the entrenched culture of corruption that is so common there makes it hard for them to run an honest business.
Free movement of people alone will solve nothing. And if CentroAmerica cleans up its culture of corruption, then their economies will blossom, and their underclass will no longer see a benefit in beating feet for the USA.

It's been running for 13 hours as of now. I suspect he is also leaving the heat lamp running. He has been spoken to about the fan not being designed to do this several times. I'm scared shitless he's going to burn my house down. It is normal for me to feel heat coming up through the tile floor especially if the shit's been running for hours? Could it wiring issues? Should I call am electrician tomorrow morning & get him out ASAP?

This falls into the category of "manageable risk". It's likely to be tolerable, but the information you have doesn't rule out serious problems (and, yes, burning the house down is potential).
Unfortunately, you're going to have to dig to accurately asses where you are. Was that bath permitted/inspected construction? Is the fixture being used properly (if it's for two 60-watt bulbs and it's got two 100's, you're at risk). You should inspect and consider quite a bit before you call an electrician.

If permitted and inspected, the fixture (if loaded with appropriate bulbs) should be safe as installed. You can put a timer on the heatlamp for convenience, but the inspectors should assure some level of safety.

No, it's not on a separate meter. I'll ask the electrician, but I'm pretty sure that would be super costly & involve major requiring. I informed him when he moved in that any significant spikes in water & power would be passed in to him. I am curious what the next bill is going to look like.

Some of those wellsite shacks, the builders put the exhaust fans on timers, which is entirely reasonable if the fan is in bathroom service, and not entirely unreasonable for a kitchen exhaust fan, either. But it is eminently unreasonable for a fan used to exhaust potentially-toxic vapors from a working space. So my first order of business, upon encountering such a setup, is to replace the timer with a regular switch, or failing that, put both wires on the same terminal of the timer. Because my safety is at stake. And I'm not paying for the heat, either.

which is 75 watts. But that might be their stall current rating, with
normal running being less. But still small potatoes compared to heat
lamp, and the fan motor is in the air stream, so it is unlikely to be
the source of the perceived heat.
>>>
Being they are encased in a metal box that should not contact the floor above and in the air stream. If the fan is giving off enough heat to feel in the floor above something other than constant on is wrong.

Um, heat lamp + fan though. So the fan motor may not be getting hot because of air flow, but the heat lamp is going to warm the air. Could it be enough that the air is warming up the ductwork for the fan that its bleeding through the floor?

Or they could stay home and build a functional civilization with industries of its own to sustain a modern way of life. And if they can't, tough shit. We don't have much use for cultures that can't hack the modern civilization challenge.

Heat lamp transfers heat to its socket by conduction, and thence to the box. Box gets warm, heats subfloor above by radiation and convection. Fan draws air through itself, may act very slightly to cool heat lamp bulbs and box, too, but the airflow mostly avoids the hot areas where the sockets for the heat lamps are.

A 100 watt light bulb in a regular pot will give off as much upward moving heat as a normal heat lamp. Because most heat lamps are directional and infrared or radiant. If regular heat lamp bulbs caused fires DIY chicken coops across the country would be lighting the skies.

bebes indicated that the fixtures contained two 120-watt heat lamps; small reflector floods, I guess. I believe the fixtures intended for heat lamps are double-walled, with an air space between. I wonder if the heat lamps and fan are on the same or separate switches? Because sometimes circumstances arise when one would like to run the fan, but not the heat.

If I installed a regular light bulb between the floor joists below my bathroom I'm sure the tiles in that area would feel warm comparatively. She is not likely in danger if all the correct safe fixtures where installed correctly. But the dick she is renting to is likely just leaving things on because he is not paying for them.
Yet.

Are you sure it's a heat lamp and not, say, a grow light? Unusual power draws have been the vital clue that got many suburban pot growers busted.

Regarding Germany ad Syria, I am reminded of Alois Brunner, the SS officer who fled Germany via to Rat Line to Syria. He was Adolf Eichmann's henchman and was responsible for sending 140,000 Jews to the gas chamber. In Syria he wasted granted asylum by the ruling Baath Party and paid for his expertise in torture and interrogation.

Germans have spent the past seventy years feeling badly about themselves and are determined to take this opportunity to feel good about themselves.
The refugees have given the Germans the sort of frisson of good feeling ...
exactly. The Germans assuage their guilt (which by the way is shallow and symbolic, what many think they are supposed to feel) by saving refugees who are certain to continue the jew hatred. The irony is stunning.

The cultivation of guilt is the main means by which the Neoliberals have built their power. In their warped worldview, if someone has power (or wealth, or status), they took it from someone else. Shaming people for crimes they are not responsible for, to manipulate their emotional responses is what they do.
This is wholly ironic, since in the Neoliberal worldview, there is no right or wrong, and everything is shades of gray. They feel no guilt, they only abuse it to advance their agenda.

It seems to me that if SC decides that the government is not allowed to simply suck up the dues for the unions, that would be it and any laws that allow that within the US would be similarly immediately unconstitutional.

Every reader has some idea of the early history of other countries which have been settled. I suggest that he recall all known instances. If he should attempt to seek but one instance of a country settled with the consent of those born there he will not succeed. The inhabitants (no matter whether they are civilized or savages) have always put up a stubborn fight.
The leaders of Europe seem intent on setting a precedent in this area.

There was a day when Europeans gave a darn about whether they and their children would be free or slaves of a tyrant.
I guess they're choosing serfdom again.
