The weather and sea level has always shown variation. The implicit assumption made by the Global Warming lobby that there is one correct climate for the Earth is plain arrogant. And instead of encouraging debate about whether we should ease off developing and populating coastal and other marginal regions all we ever hear about is curbing hydrocarbon consumption and how we have to expect to pay more for those hydrocarbons - I’m sure the oil and nuclear industries are crying into their beer over that one.

re. global domination

The day I start seeing Islamic troops coming anywhere near to occupying Western countries plus Islamic corporate interests propping up dictatorships in the Western World is the day I’ll start worrying about that little canard.

Just a note on this issue: The perma-frost all over, Alaska, Canada etcetera, is thawing. It contains vast amounts of carbon in frozen plant and animal material that is now entering the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. This reduces the available oxygen and iincreases the greenhouse effect, causing further warming and thawing and release of carbon. In other words, global warming is now out of control and feeding on itself and cannot be stopped. There is now seen to be a good chance that Earths oceans may rise 20 feet in the next 20 years or less, with the result that many insurance companies are now backing off from issuing new policies on coastal property.

Back to the point of this, I too take what military commanders say much more to heart than what politicians say. Politicians lie to keep their jobs whereas military people must speak truth to survive and prosper, if they say anything at all. The military tends to promote honesty, by its nature.

About Islam, I’m beginning to think that a crack has appeared in the latest quest for world domination, as I see the first signs that Muslims are separating into two basic camps, those who are hell-bent on jihad and those who want nothing to do with it. They all want to see the world become entirely Islamic, but not all want to go to war to achieve this. Just how big the split will be, that is, which side will be the larger, remains to be seen. The latter depends on how scared they are of US. Us Westerners. For all the ranting about being the “fastest spreading religion”, they are still minoriities in Western nations where it matters, and the West is starting to get pretty sick and tired of them.
No doubt there are going to be big changes ahead on all fronts. Prophecies can only reach so far based on current trends though, as the only real constant is change and trends do shift and change. One thing is sure, it’s going to be interesting.

I was at Admiral Parry’s lecture and you are the only site I have seen on the Internet that has got close to what the Admiral was actually saying and predicting.

Intelligent blog conversation all round I thought.

You just cannot believe all that is printed in the Press.

Agree with stef on causes. The “politically correct” are often blamed for uncontrolled migration, but as Enoch Powell once said about the Trades Unions on inflation, “They are as pure as the driven snow”. The real driver is short term greed.

You’re a boss who cannot make a profit by paying wages the British expect? easy, import those who work for much less. Those cheap workers then need to claim benefits to get by. The jobs are therefore subsidised by the taxpayer with no net benefit to Britain, just as British Leyland jobs were in the 70s. In a free market, essential and low paid are largely contradictions.

Worse in fact, as much of the money these migrants do get is sent abroad instead of being spent here to stimulate the British economy. There is no escaping from one basic mathematical point. Those of lower than average economic performance cannot raise the average.

The NHS is a case in point. Where’s the sense or morality in recruiting nurses and doctors from Africa to work in the UK? They’re already a scarce resource in their home countries and we’re just making the situation worse. I remember the days when we used to train healthcare professionals to work in the developing world not poach them.

However, whilst I share concerns about large-scale migration I totally disagree with most of the causes cited. I’d argue that the major upsurge in migration into developing countries has biff all to do with climate change, political correctness or miliant Islam. These are all smokescreens.

It is happening because it is being permitted to happen. It is being permitted to happen because it is profitable and because it will enable those currently in power to consolidate their power.

Look at the UK. We don’t have a huge land border, nor are we in paddling distance of the Middle East or Africa. The vast bulk of migrants come in via half a dozen points of entry which could be easily controlled, given a will to do so. It doesn’t take much research to establish that our current government dropped the national drawbridge as soon as it took power and has resolutely kept that drawbridge down.

Migration benefits the ‘globalists’ because it

- reduces labour costs
- minimises any chance of large numbers of people in lower income groups joining together and acheiving political influence. A fractured underclass is a lot less scary to Those Who Rule than an homogenous underclass
- creates a political climate where large numbers of people will be willing to trade a reduction in civil liberties for security

The politically correct crowd are being totally suckered on this one.

When I was a boy and throughout my teenage years London received quite a large influx of Arab migrants from places such as Iran, following the death of the Shah, and the Lebanon. These people were for the most part well educated and middle-class and have integrated well however in more recent years we have been receiving less educated people who seem unwilling to blend in and its this latter group which have been causing some problems.

The new migrations which Parry refers to are of serious concern, not just for our security but should be of paramount concern for existing Arab migrants because they will be “tarred with the same brush” should things get out of hand. Some of my Arab colleagues have expressed their concerns over this too and I am of a mind that it may be time to instigate a “Fortress Europe” policy as for future migration for everyone’s good.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful comments.

Rear Admiral Parry’s analysis is given within a tight remit and I have addressed my views in a similar fashion. These are :

1) Security threats to the United Kingdom and the EU.
2) Security threats which are caused by or related to climate change.

There are other issues involved but I think he, as I tend to, takes a scientific approach in that he attempts to isolate factors into their most discrete components. By taking too broad a brush it becomes too difficult to find viable solutions and its solutions we need.

This is why both of us have identified radical Islam as a possible conduit for exploiting hostilities amongst Diaspora migrants. Its about geography and for us Europeans its Africa and the Middle East which is on our doorstep, making these regions our most immediate concerns from a security standpoint. It is somewhat similar to the way that communism exploited disaffected youth in depression hit Europe in the 1930’s and in that there is a parallel in the way that more educated Bolsheviks with a political agenda mobilised the proletariat by offering them a focus to their anger and a mobilising command structure supported with arms from existing communist states.

Somehow I don’t think that a Diaspora North African is going to give a fig about Israel or other political issues he just wants to take what he needs to survive but he can be mobilised through his anger. That is why when viewing the future security of Europe Parry identifies the connection of these groups as an issue, I know we don’t hear much about this in the news but even now light arms and radical leaders are flooding North-East Africa from their ME sponsors and whatever you think of the politics/religion its just another face of exploitation.

In other regions the path of conflict will certainly be different, maybe a resurgence of communism - who knows.
