Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Surge in Germans migrating to Paraguay to escape Muslim migrants in Germany
Monday, April 25, 2022
Robert Spencer : “The German towns in Paraguay with a surge in European immigrants,” BBC, April 22, 2022:
A BBC investigation has discovered
that thousands of German nationals have migrated to Paraguay in the
last 12 months – to escape Covid restrictions and vaccinations in
Europe….
…many of the new arrivals say they have become immigrants
in Paraguay – because they are uncomfortable with Muslim immigrants at
home.
Surge In Germans Migrating to South America to Escape Muslim Migrants at Home: BBC,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, April 23, 2022 (thanks to the Geller Report):
Paraguay is seeing a surge in
German migrants, fleeing Islamic migrants in their own country and
onerous coronavirus restrictions.
“We have a problem in Germany
with Muslims,” said one of the exiles, adding: “Islam and vaccinations
are big, big problems in this world.”
The German, named as Michael Schwartz and said to have arrived in Paraguay in November 2021, told the BBC that he had avoided taking coronavirus vaccinations — which the German health minister wants to make compulsory,
although there is resistance to the policy in the federal legislature —
because there are “many questions” around them, suggesting that “many
Paraguayans” share his stance.
Stephan Hausen, another German
emigrée who arrived in Paraguay with his family in the same month as
Schwartz, raised similar concerns, in particular about “continuous”
lockdowns which had left him “dumbfounded”….
“I think we should
have more regulated migration [to Germany],” said Hausen’s wife,
Theresa, suggesting that Berlin should cap the number of migrants
allowed into the country and plan accordingly.
“We need to have a
say in this!” she continued, perhaps alluding to the fact that
notionally conservative former chancellor Angela Merkel, who opened the
proverbial floodgates in 2015, did not campaign on a platform of mass
migration — indeed, she declared that multiculturalism had “utterly failed” in 2010.
“Paraguay, in our experience, is a very Christian country, and we come from a Christian culture,” added her husband.
“We’ve
got to know a great many people here and we’re on the same wavelength.
In Germany it can’t happen like this, because in general the Muslims act
so provocatively,” he said.
A pensive-looking Theresa appeared to
try and dissuade him from continuing in this vein with a nervous “my
dear”, prompting Stephan to tell his BBC interviewer: “Maybe this
shouldn’t be filmed. It sounds a bit too harsh. We don’t want that.”
The publicly-funded British broadcaster aired the comments regardless….
