The former German Central Bank chairman and SPD senator of Berlin, Thilo Sarrazin, is back with a new book.
In “Wishful Thinking. Europe, Currency, Education, Immigration – why politics fail so often” (to be published on April 25) he deals with the refugee politics of chancellor Merkel – and takes the same line as in his controversial first book “Germany abolishes itself”.
According to “Bild” newspaper, who prints excerpts from the book, Sarrazin again argues that people of certain provenance have lower “cognitive competences”.
In the pre-publication, Sarrazin accuses the chancellor that with her “We can do it”, she distracts from the important questions in the refugee crisis. According to him, “the question whether the daily influx of refugees can be quickly registered, housed, fed, and medically cared for”, is not at the core, but questions about the perspective of integration of them.
And in that respect, Sarrazin appears skeptical, and argues similar to in “Germany Abolishes Itself”: the refugees “come from countries with a low educational achievement. Their cultural and cognitive profile is similar to those Muslim Immigrants from these countries, who are already in Europe. Therefore it is fair to assume that regarding educational performance, obtaining of social security benefits, criminality and susceptibility for fundamentalist ideas, would develop accordingly.”
Besides, the author calculates that each yearly cohort of refugees will, by family reunion and own children, multiply by five within two decades. He infers, “The retrieval of control over our borders, be it Germany’s or Schengen’s, is a matter of life and death for our culture, and for the survival of our society.”
Further, Sarrazin writes: “German politics neglects their executive function, to show the direction of what is imperative, and the scope of what is responsible.” The internationalist view of Merkel “might have in mind the well-being of the world in general, but scarcely the interests of Europe, and certainly not the Germans’ concern for the future of their own nation, the protection of their living environment, and of their cultural identity”.
[The Translator has added the following information on German media’s treatment of Thilo:
“Thilo Sarrazin’s Fear Of Uneducated Migrants”
Is there a difference between Educated and Uneducated in Europe ?
Is there a difference between wrong and right in Europe?
If the parasites / immigrants are Uneducated, does, does it mean that in contrast the Germans are Educated?
If the Germans are educated why are they committing this crime of destroying their own country? Can an educated people be so stupid as to commit suicide by jizya parasite.
It is a reference that unfortunately might not make all too much sense without the background: the center parties advocated taking in “refugees” by telling the German public that these were highly “educated”, the future heart surgeons, researchers and engineers that Germany needs.
That’s called “bait and switch” in America.
And it’s illegal.
Not when the Democrats do it.
It isn’t educated and uneducated, it is uneducated and indoctrinated.
I have a folder, “Philosemitism”.
It has one lonely file: Theo Sarrazin.
I forgot about it till now, but it seems he got in trouble for saying, “[a]ll Jews share the same gene.” Thus, he was tarred “racist”.
He’s into genetics – smart genes/ dumb genes. What the good people at Gates of Vienna described as provoking, “a major outbreak of the Screaming Nazi Heeber Jeebers among the refined and enlightened guardians of German culture.”
I guess that’s “Philosemitism”. Or isn’t it?
That passage indeed was removed from his book, so it is only in the first edition, and missing in the later editions.
Just for that I might delete the folder.
I wish the world would move to a point where we could admit that human behavior is a product of both nurture and nature.
