Merkel to spend billions on foreign aid despite facing $87,000,000,000 Muslim migrant bill

Feb 9, 2017 11:20 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

It was recently reported that to clean up the mess created by Muslim migrants will cost Germany and EU taxpayers $46 billion to clean up. New laws have been introduced in order to cope with the migrant crisis, and $2.16 billion will be spent to help Muslim migrants integrate.

Germany has been brutalized by Muslim migrants: epidemic sex assaults, attacks on churches, and a massive crime surge; but apparently all that is not enough domestic trouble to make Merkel reconsider her policies. She has now:

kicked off a foreign aid splurge which could see Germany overtake Britain as the world’s second highest spender at the same time as shelling out billions on housing newly arrived migrants.

“Stubborn Angela Merkel to spend BILLIONS on foreign aid despite facing £70bn migrant bill”, by Nick Gutterridge, UK Express,February 8, 2017:

The under-fire Chancellor has signalled her intention to increase international aid spending to record levels even as the cost of her refugee policies spirals to a staggering £70 billion.

German spending on overseas payments skyrocketed to 19.4 billion US dollars in 2016 according to estimates by the SEEK Development think tank – an astonishing 40 per cent hike in just two years.

And the budget for Berlin’s aid ministry, the BMZ, has also ballooned by a bank-busting 15 per cent to 8.5 billion euros for this year, up from 7.4 billion in 2016.

The eye-popping spending increases come in part because Mrs Merkel is refusing to offset the rising cost of housing refugees as part of her international aid budget like other countries do.

Germany is currently the third largest global contributor of international aid behind only Britain and the US, but it is on course to pass the UK within the next couple of years.

Berlin has already pledged to contribute an additional 8.3 billion euros to its foreign aid pot by 2019, whilst Britain’s yearly contributions are set to remain roughly stable at around £14bn a year.

However, critics will say she is taking a massive political risk at a time of growing frustration over the impact of her open door migration policy amongst ordinary German voters.

The beleaguered Chancellor has recently slumped behind socialist rival Martin Schulz in the polls, and she is also facing stiff opposition from the anti-immigrant Alternative fur Deutschland.

And she is now facing a frantic fight for her political future, with people’s anger about high levels of immigration threatening to make her just another establishment figure to be toppled.

The German government sees international aid as an opportunity to increase its influence on the world stage, especially at a time when the US is becoming more insular under Donald Trump.

A similar argument was made by David Cameron to justify his lavish commitments to foreign spending, but critics have long argued that much of the money is wasted on pointless schemes…..

      Don´t forget that Britain has taken in the Calais “refugees” from France voluntarily. Britain does not need Merkel as long as they have May. And even if they leave the EU they will be flooded with Muslims from the Commonwealth.

          E.g. Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangla Desh, Trinidad and Tobago, These countries are Islamic or have a high percentage of muslims. If the European Door of GB gets closed for jihad, they will use the Commonwealth door, as the Pakistani have done for quite a while already.

      Caroline, better make sure that the UK has strict entry laws into your country.. Look what the nut jobs here in the US are pushing… WE have no right to determine who enters our country……… Once the pigs are out of their pen, the gig is up… They will demand entry into your nation, and get it from the globalist left who demand open borders.. Now the trick will be to GET THEM OUT…. Ask us in California.. Obama dumped thousands of Somali terrorist in San Diego, Ca. who now are demanding camel milk…. AH, no joke!! It is so expensive to live here I as a native am struggling to make ends meet.. Guess the Muslim invaders will not have that issue…
      Not to mention our military here, of which there are thousands, are finding it impossible to get housing for their families…

    Angela Merkel won a prize in 2010 for her part in promoting the Coudenhove-kalergi plan.

    This plan calls for allowing mass immigration into the EU by the political leaders who are all in thrall to the Globalist agenda.It is also associated with the Bilderberg group.so it is not a coincidence that mass immigration is taking place.

    This is a very real plan and we are seeing the consequences.Unlike a conspiracy theory it is very real.
    All you would have to do is ask Merkel (or that other key player in the E.U,Mr Juncker) to show you the medals they officialy won…

      If Europeans eventually slip into far-right anarchy in response to the Islamic invasion and subjugation of their countries, the blame cane be laid squarely at the feet of European government “leaders” like Angela Merkel.

    A German politician – I think it was Joschka Fischer, a greenie – once said that it does not matter on what German Money is spent. It is only important to get it away from the Germans.

  6. Westman says

    Feb 9, 2017 at 12:38 pm

    So, spending on “refugees” will kick off at about $1700 per German taxpayer. If the reality vs estimate turns out like US spending in the ME, that will soar to $17,000 per taxpayer and ultimarely, sink the EU.

    Will the German voters go along with this?

    • Caroline says

      Feb 9, 2017 at 1:17 pm

      A lot of Germans are very left-wing and feel it is the least they can do. I remember watching an interview where Germans were asked their opinions on the migrant influx. Two late middle aged German women. thought it was a good thing to help the ‘refugees’ and Frau Merkel had said Germany could afford it. I sometimes wonder what those women would say now. I was struck at the time by their naivety.

      The cost of settling one genuine Mideast refugee in the West, can be used to resettle about a dozen such refugees in the Mideast. Which thing is truly more compassionate and practical, as well as economical and efficient?

      Germany would have been better off bringing in educated and largely non-Muslim immigrants from Philippines and elsewhere, and using the tens of billions of wasted dollars to properly compensate Greece for Nazi crimes against that country during WW2 (or at least forgive most of the Greek debt to Germany. The Italians should do likewise as well, because of Mussolini’ initial invasion of Greece, which led to Hitler’s involvement therein).

        If the bloody stupid Americans had done their job properly in Iraq like the Marshal plan in post WW2 Germany, Iraq wouldn’t be the isis-riven hell hole and there would be no isis issue in syria

        better still if the idiots had left saddam alone, no problem and no cost to America.

          If the “bloody stupid Americans” had stayed out of Iraq and left strong man Saddam to rule that country we should all be a lot better off and so would most of the Iraqis. It seems that the Europeans are only now beginning to realise that Arabic countries do not function as democracies and need unpleasant strong men to keep their even more unpleasant warring Islamic factions under control.

          Unfortunately Mr Bush wanted to protect his oil riches and even more unfortunately we had the avaricious Mr Blair happy to go along with him.

          Let us hope Mr Trump manages to control his Government as he wishes and then we shall all sleep sounder.

    If the Germans choose not to have children and thus are not spending on their own children, then they will spend their money on those who did bother to have children. I guess it is some form of an inverted guilt trip of a nation whose most powerful leader has had no offspring for the past twenty years. The end price that a nation pays for having liberal attitudes to sexuality and abortion.

      Agree- It’s easier to have than not have children if your iq is 80!, If you cannot read or write, how can you understand family planning. This is just the start –all the refugee men will bring in soon their wife and four friends and children, Deutchland wach auf!!!!!

      Very true! However, Germany would be better iff with more logical and sensible immigration policies.

      After World War 1, French culture was not threatened by heavy immigration from Italy, Spain, Portugal or Poland, because the vast majority of the immigrants were Christian with some Jews, and had cultures which France could assimilate fairly easily.

      Making a logical deduction from this article, merkel has made Germany the largest state sponsor of terrorism. I never realized how demented and suicidal western Europe is. merkel, hollande, cameron, and now may, are all multicultural, open borders sociopaths.
      We have the same vandals in the U.S. on both sides of the aisle. But we also have President Trump, and for once in a long time, Americans have elected a president who wants Americans to be safe and prosper.

    Hi Folks !!!!!
    ============

    This is an original 8mm silent from summer 1995, going round in Germany, with various modern songs added. There’s plenty of speculation if it’s real or not. Merkel’s office neither denies nor confirms. She’s known to be impulsive, just watch her myriad of extensive and explicit facial expressions. Also, it would be in-line with some pictures of her, and her friends, in nudist playgrounds from her FDJ days in east-Germany.

    There are some collages about her, in bed with Sarkozy, etc. which are obviously what they are, collages – BUT THIS…. The figure/shape is right for her in ’95, the height is right, the hair is right, and so is the face. Well, you judge. So:

    LADIES & GENTLEMEN, I GIVE YOU

    First, that incompetent fool Merkel will not or cannot learn . Second, Merkel is as guilty as sin regarding taking part of the blame for that Islamic terror truck attack in Berlin last month. For her PC politics and polices led to that murderous jihad murder disaster. Furthermore, is should be made clear that the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran, [the Koran] gives instruction in the ways of the violent and deadly jihad. To give only one out of many examples of this from the Koran is Sura 47:4. Which teaches “Whenever you encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Let’s face it, using a large truck as a weapon, as the Muslim /jihadist did, can sure make a greater “slaughter among them” than a sword can.

    There is an impending limit on the German economy that will bring the whole problem to a conclusion: The cost of energy. Germany has decided to shut down and dismantle all its nuclear power plants (which never were particularly cheap), at twice the cost and twice the time it took to build them. It has also decided to”go green”.

    There is no way to run heavy industry on electricity that costs ten times as much as “dirty” energy, while carrying a multi-billion dollar a year bill for the nuclear shutdown, and at the same time spending tens and hundreds of billions on social “goals”. Without industry that requires reliable and inexpensive electricity, the house of cards will fall. All the talk about Green energy never gives even a remote analysis of the costs and limitations of those sources and the hideous sacrifices everyone will make as those sources take over. Germany is being driven into truly dark ages from without and within. “There is no free lunch.” And the money continues to be spent on things that add to the costs without any attention to increasing the strength of the economy. “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money. . .” Margaret Thatcher. Could be a good time to consider lessons of the past.

    It will be a sad miracle if Merkel gets past the next round of elections…

    Getting rid of Merkel will happen, she’ll just retire on a fat Govt payout into a protected environment ..

    The German people will have to react and get rid of her, however, there is no doubt the retirement age / tax / levies will be raised to pay for this mess, what must it be like for good hard working people to work an extra few years, to pay for the dangerous layabouts that will rob you and rape your children & grandchildren ….
