Festung Europa and Fortress America

I apologize for the recycled terminology of Hitler, but Festung Europa is not original with me. It originally was applied by Hitler to Europe under Nazi control being a bulwark against the arms of Britain and the USA. Mellila and Ceuta, Spanish enclaves in Morocco in North Africa, have been attacked recently by hundreds of immigrants from Western Africa seeking to get to Europe and escape the desert of poverty in their homelands. Spain is doubling the height of the fence to repel future attacks. However, there are other ways. There are smugglers. You can go by boat or inflatable raft for less than 1,000 euros, dig a tunnel for a price, and the cheapest is to have a local Moroccan contractor/smuggler cut a hole in the fence. Does this sound familiar? Of course it does. This is what happens when there is a great disparity of wealth between regions and peoples: it is the tropical low pressure system creating a whirlwind. The problem is exacerbated if you constantly propagandize the situation. By emphasizing how great it is here - even if it isn't always - and how terrible it is in your wretched, little, scruffy back yard, I guarantee that my grass will seem greener to you and you will no longer make an effort to tend to your patch of earth. Festung Europa and Fortress America are known as El Dorado, the golden. As we devour more and more resources and accumulate more and more wealth, this problem will increase. What we see happening between Festung Europa and its illegal aliens and Fortress America and its aliens is also happening within Europe and America as the lion’s share of wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. And just what does an elite do when it has accumulated 99% of the wealth of a country or of the world? Why, the elite rules over an enormous plantation of the poor, kept separate by fences and armed patrols. We are all Zanj then, and the Zanj rebellion will again be whispered on the wind.
