The Perfect European
This interview with Cecilia Malmström, European Commissioner for Interior Affairs, appeared in Le Monde on July 7, 2012. Blind ambition? Repressed destructiveness? Treason? Pure European indoctrination? Possibly all four, plus resolute refusal to acknowledge what she must, somewhere in the dark recesses of her shallow, yet devious brain, realize: immigration means the death of Europe. The subconscious mind knows everything, but is protected by what psychoanalysts call "resistance". Not Marine Le Pen's resistance, the other kind.
- The debate on the Schengen Space was triggered by the "Arab Spring". You feel that Europe missed an "historic opportunity." Why?
- In our immediate vicinity, various peoples felled dictators and demanded human rights. This was a major event. So what did we say to these people who were inspired by our values? That we were in a crisis and that we were afraid of "biblical waves" of immigrants… Note that only 4% of those who fled Libya came to Europe! Our attitude brought about a deterioration of our relations with these counties and created a suspicion that is only just beginning to be surmounted.
Note: Her words leave one speechless. And so I will remain.
- Recently you declared that immigration for Europe was "not a threat, but an opportunity" and even "a factor of growth". Words that surprised some…
- Of course, and I stand by them. Immigration will be necessary, given the demographic evolution of most of our countries. They estimate that by 2030, without new immigration, the European working population will have diminished by 12%. Managers regularly confide to me the difficulty they are having recruiting qualified people even though unemployment is at an all time high. Germany needs engineers; by 2020 the European health sector will need two million workers.
A report from the OCDE (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) shows that many persons who might emigrate are less tempted by Europe than by Brazil, Canada or Australia, or even Angola or Mozambique. Long term this could be a source of major difficulties for us. The same OCDE shows that migratory pressures on Europe are subsiding. But of course, this could be a temporary effect of the crisis that we are experiencing.
- Education about this "new immigration" is necessary but, from all appearances, it's a difficult position to uphold…
- Yes, but the reality is there. The role of the Brussels Commission is also to encourage politicians to take this into account. To envisage long term problems and to rise above national contingencies. Anyway, the academics take what I'm saying for granted…
- The rise of populist and xenophobic forces, including those in Northern Europe where you originated, are preventing your message from being heard. What to do?
- It is true that Geert Wilders, for example, has now made me into the principal enemy of The Netherlands… More fundamentally, I plead for a veritable sharing of responsibility among Europeans in matters of immigration and asylum. I say that integration has been, in most big cities, a failure and that ghettoization is a reality for which the politicians are responsible because they did not act vigorously enough. I also demand a better use of the existing labor force.
So, it is not about opening wide the doors, but examining how to better facilitate a new legal immigration - which is, after all, a way of fighting against illegal immigration.
- At the other end of the political spectrum you are suspected of organizing a brain drain and of depriving some countries of their best elements…
This is a primordial question. However note that in Tunisia many nurses are out of work: why refuse them if they come, for a limited time, to France or elsewhere? India and China have a surplus of engineers who could be very useful to their country, once they received complementary training in Europe. It is not a brain drain but a brain gain that has to be organized.
- How do you convince both leaders and the man in the street, who often sense confusedly that immigration is a threat?
I have the feeling, and studies confirm this, that the citizen is often more open than some politicians. He demands more information and he has the feeling that reality is being manipulated The same studies confirm that immigration is often a more important theme for politicians than for voters. During my meetings with the ministers, they sometimes admit that they agree with me but cannot say it openly… The images of boatloads of people arriving in Lampedusa are apparently stronger than the objective data.
- You are counting heavily on a change in government in France. During his first European Council, in Luxembourg, in June, Manuel Valls (French Interior Minister), for the most part defended the positions taken by (his predecessor) Claude Guéant on the need to reestablish border controls. Are you disappointed?
- The central issue is to determine accurately what "extraordinary" situations could motivate a return to border controls. Everybody knows I don't agree with the latest compromise and that I still insist on a supervision by the Commission of national situations - in collaboration with the member countries of course - so that the study can be really independent and transparent. The decision of the Council is not formalized, the Parliament has not voted. So the possibility remains of reviving the debate in September.
- What do you think of Manuel Valls' position?
- His situation is very difficult, with a European Council just days after he took office as Interior Minister. I'm delighted to have met him.
- Do you hope to change his mind?
- We shall see.
- With what arguments?
- We shall see.
H/T: Islamisation, where Joachim Véliocas points out that Cecilia Malmström has no democratic legitimacy.
Read about Cecilia Malmström at Wikipedia:
You will see that she is very well-educated and a multi-lingual multi-culturalist. Since her education precludes the idea that she might be stupid, we have to acknowledge that she is very bright and uses her intelligence to dismantle a world she did not have the good fortune to build and fight for. She cannot be acting unconsciously, despite my comment at the beginning. She is fully conscious, fully aware. Her words are shocking because they are the exact opposite of the truth. There is no in-between area where she might feel the stirrings of self-doubt, impelling her to look without blinders at the reality she claims she knows better than the politicians. She was born in May 1968. That is all we need to know.

The lack of intergration,if we even wanted it,lies full square with the eussr and the "arab league of europe",who together concocted an agreement stating that muslims and others can come freely to our countries,and will not be forced to integrate in any manner whatsoever,can set up thier own enclaves,where thier culture,religions are inviolable,which is pure treason intended to undermine the fundamental question of who our respective countries belong to.That an illigitmate organisation,with no popular mandate,can impose itself,contrary to the observable will of the respective populations,should have had said populations,screaming bloody blue murder on the streets until these dictators were forcibly removed,and imprisoned fills me with astonishment and deep loathing of the majority of my fellow europeans.
I read this interview a few days ago and, like you, was shocked. I am not however surprised. Alas, the spirit and deed of Euromed appears to be very much alive and kicking.
The madness of the left leaves me just as it leaves you, tiberge: Speechless. Aghast. How does having truth on our side matter when so many believe these lies? Stay away from the kool-aid.
They have a look about them dont they,square glassed arrogant looking. We have them in Australia too.
These people need to be treated like world war 2 collaborators.

Its time we start to insist on certain values that immigrants have to accept if they wish to live with us in peace and harmony.
Some simple and enlightened values that we need to assert, without in any form or manner targeting a group or ideology. These are normal for any nation or culture, and most certainly ours that is tolerant, humane and just.
1. No other language to be supported by the state except the national language.
2. Ban FGM totally. This is totally against our values. Anyone engaging in this outrageous custom has to pay a penalty.
3. Ban child marriages. This custom is not in keeping with enlightened European values.
4. Ban polygamy. Again, it is not in keeping with enlightened European values. Besides it causes immense headache when it comes to financial and inheritance cases. Our laws have evolved over centuries based on marriage between one man and one woman. We cannot have the absurd situation that we overturn centuries of values, tradition and law, just to cater for people who are here quite voluntarily.
5. “Honour” killing punishable by the usual legal penalties. In addition, as the crime is a violation of the codes of European values, those who did or aided in the murder, to be deported.
6. Ban raw Halal meat in shops. No Halal slaughter whatever in Europe. The slaughter of dumb animals is against our tradition of humane attitudes to animals. There is no requirement whatever that we overturn our traditional values for other cultures, who are here of their own will.
These values are good, beautiful and true, and therefore need no justification. How on earth it has come to pass that I have to state the above is the real question.
Surely I'm not the only one who noticed that her answers were a collection of non sequiturs and contradictions, implicit or explicit?
E.g.:
"[V]arious peoples felled dictators and demanded human rights. This was a major event. So what did we say to these people who were inspired by our values?"
Huh? On the one hand, you allege that they've replaced dictators with your "human rights". So tell us again why they have to pour into Europe? Are you telling us they're running from these values to these values? Is this supposed to make sense?
"Managers regularly confide to me the difficulty they are having recruiting qualified people even though unemployment is at an all time high."
Surely so well-educated a lady might recognize that there's another, simpler, saner solution to any problem of "not enough qualified workers", staring her and those "managers" in the face, in her own comment. (We needn't tarry here on why these clowns seem to think that "mass immigration from North Africa" means "Engineers!", anyway.)
As for the alleged demographic need, the bonkers attitude underlying her viewpoint is that of the British pol, who insisted that the UK needed to allow in mass numbers of health care worker immigrants, because there weren't enough health care workers to serve the mass numbers of immigrants they were letting in.
I plead for a veritable sharing of responsibility among Europeans in matters of immigration and asylum.
But wait, this makes it sound like immigration is a burden, not a boon. Why aren't European countries elbowing each other in the gut trying to get at all these fabulous (and absolutely necessary or your nation will die!) immigrants? Why do they keep trying to fob off all those human-rights lovin' Arabs and Africans on the next country? I don't understand.
...the citizen is often more open than some politicians...immigration is often a more important theme for politicians than for voters. During my meetings with the ministers, they sometimes admit that they agree with me but cannot say it openly...
Can't say what openly to whom? If "citizens" want immigration, from whom are the "ministers" hiding this information? From each other? From themselves? Granted the merde she's extruding here is transparently her version of "if only the average Joe was better informed, he would surely laud the wisdom of our policies", but, lordy, what a load of positively Carrollian gobbledygook.
As for an evaluation of madame's intelligence: the human mind is plastic. One may not start out stupid in fundamental cognitive capacity, but marinating in ideology for a lifetime, in the comfortable echo chambers of the mandarins, can dull the mind and spirit to a horrifying degree. Just look at that mug. Is that the face a deep and humane thinker?
"She was born in May 1968. That is all we need to know."
First we have to know that she is Swedish. Most of Sweden has very few sunhours and that makes thie people crazy which has an expression also in their genes.
And: She had never in her life a profession where she could do something useful oder could speak with npomal people.
She is proposing filtering techniques for the deletion of illegal websites - websites like yours.

6a - If they wish to celebrate the Eid by cutting the throat of a sheep, they will have to go to a muslim country. This must be totally banned in France.
7 - No public funding of mosques, no funding allowed from outside France, unless that country allows Christian churches to exist.
To all,
Thank you for fascinating comments, and apologies for a slight delay in posting them. It has been 105 degrees Fahrenheit on the East Coast, and we are all a bit crazy right now.
@ WWWerner,
I deleted your duplicate comment.
The possibility of my website (and others even more frank) being banned has been on my mind ever since Obama took office. I would say that we could continue communicating via e-mail, but if all patriotic websites are banned, there would be no way for me to obtain information to send you.
In America, there are movements to keep the Internet "free", and I hope these movements exist in other countries. But if a government that uses force decides to destroy us, there won't be much we can do except "descend into the street". And we would not last very long there. The Left and its allies are desperate to get rid of anyone who does not think as they do. We are an impediment to their scenario of destruction of the West. So long as any of us is alive and speaking out, the Left will move ever more deeply into their mental illness, composed of arrogance, need to control, and loathing of eveything that was created by the preceding 2000 years or more of Western civilization. (We could say 5000 years, and not be wrong.)
Didn't Spengler say that those who have not built a civilization can only destroy it? (I don't know the exact quote.)
People like Malmström are merely the white counterparts of the black and Muslim thugs who physically and materially destroy. It is the tandem of the two forces of destruction - the thugs and their enablers - that make today's situation so difficult to control.
Our civilization does not belong to or emanate from the Malmströms of this world, any more than it belongs to or emanates from the third-world thugs.
@ Foiled Circuitous Wanderer,
Great name. Are you really foiled? You sound as if you have great understanding.
Your analysis is excellent, and I think we can all thank you for it. Yes, she is in contradiction with herself. To the best of my knowledge, being in contradiction with oneself has never prevented a Liberal/Socialist/Multiculturalist from... being in contradiction. They go deeper and deeper into their errors, the more they are exposed as hypocrites and morons.
@ dauphin and DP111,
Ramadan starts early this year - July 20, so I'll be posting on "food" issues again. Halal has spread everywhere in the United States, without labels. If you go to the websites of certain food companies, they may admit their meat is halal, but it won't necessarily be marked on the packaging. Whole Foods is GUILTY!
We know New Zealand lamb is halal, but what about Icelandic lamb? It seems Iceland was halal, reversed course when there was an outcry, and now is going back to halal because they can get a higher price for halal lamb!!!
