Utter Contempt for the Locals By Richard Miller (London)
The immigration class are falling over themselves with the cornucopia delivered by the Afghanistan crisis, which will deliver more of the same as the Syria crisis. Even small villages in Europe are being swamped by Afghan migrants, all young males of course. You would have thought that if there were humanitarian concerns we would see woman and children, but the aim is the Great Replacement.
It is utter contempt for the locals. At this point, I hope economic collapse comes sooner rather than later, but one coming from the intrinsic rottenness of the system, rather than an engineered New World Order One.
“Harskamp struggles with the arrival of Afghans. '800 men is a lot'
HARSKAMP - A banner quickly removed against the reception of Afghans, a hastily set up Facebook group 'COA Nee'. The sudden arrival of 800 Afghan refugees to the Harskamp army site causes many emotions in the Veluwe village. One wants to help. The other protests.
Two police officers cycle through the village street of the rural village Harskamp (3500 inhabitants) in Ede. That is the first time that I see police here on a bicycle'', says snack bar owner Anton Brobbel Dorsman. It's little things that show that something is going on in the village.
The streets seem to be completely calm on Tuesday morning. But while tufts of tourists merrily cycle through the village, the village's group apps are all about the arrival of 800 Afghans who are given their first safe haven here from the chaos of Kabul.
"That news takes some getting used to," says a Harskampse who lives directly opposite the entrance to the barracks. 800 asylum seekers. That is a lot for such a small village.” A young Harskampse speaks similar words on a terrace. “You do wonder. Am I safe? Now I'm not afraid to cycle around the street, but then maybe I am.''
Should that be here now, is a question that is often asked. And that question is not entirely unfounded. The practice area behind the barracks is used all year round.
Dutch soldiers, but also soldiers from abroad, practice on all kinds of targets with small and larger weapons. Precisely for Afghanistan was practiced here. "You even have an Afghan practice village here," says Evert Top of the village council. In the morning there are also bangs over the Veluwe plain.
COA and Defense still have to get used to each other.
However, the exercises are stopped to give the Afghans peace of mind, Colonel Piet Hagenaars, responsible for housing, assures. We have requested all units to leave by 08:00. That definitely hurts us. In the near future we will see whether it is appropriate to hold exercises in the future.”
The army buildings, where normally 8 soldiers sleep per room, will soon be inhabited by Afghans. COA employees are now walking all over the site. There will be a central tent for meals and activities.
Trucks come and go all day long. Power generators. A mobile hospital. Defense employees and people from COA still regularly get in each other's way. Have we just stretched a ribbon, someone still has to go through'', someone from Defense grumbles.
Defense takes responsibility for 'its' people.
It is not surprising that people from a war are now coming to barracks, says a spokesperson for the COA. “Precisely because Defense takes responsibility for the people who worked for them.” Hagenaars confirms this.
“I served in Afghanistan in 2006 and 2010. These people have supported us, it is good that we can now offer them shelter.”
Moreover, there is plenty of room in barracks like this one. "But we are now also reaching our limits," said a Defense spokesperson. Because it is expected that the shelter in Harskamp will be full in a few days, new locations are already being considered. A little later the news comes out that a location is being built with tents at Heumensoord near Nijmegen.
Harskamp wants to know where it stands
For the Village Council in Harskamp, the reality of the village applies above all. What does the arrival of so many new inhabitants mean for a village like this? On the last day of her vacation, village council chairman Linda Vellinga is constantly calling and consulting.
She is surprised by the news that lays before her feet as a fait accompli. "We are not taking a position," she says immediately.
It is our task to represent the village, but there are supporters and opponents. One wants to help. The other is strongly against.” For Vellinga, it is mainly important to get clarity. "The village wants to know where it stands."
No agreements about the duration of reception in Harskamp
However, complete clarity is not forthcoming. At least not today. Yes, there will be 800 asylum seekers. And yes, they will soon be allowed to leave the site. But the COA cannot provide clarity about how long the reception will last, says Judith van der Laar of the organization.
“I understand that people want answers. But now we're just making sure these people have a bed. We'll get to all those other questions soon.”
She knows there are concerns in the village. The local police officer present is already preparing for an announced protest. “But we have also received a lot of messages from people who want to help. People who understand that we are looking for a shelter for these people. In the near future we will also be working with local organizations.”
Young people say they are going to protest.
For the village council, it still means little clarity to the inhabitants. We have no clarity yet'', says a disappointed Vellinga.
Whether that is reason for many Harskampers to protest is unclear. The young Harskampse at the restaurant reports that many of her friends will be present. “But I have yet to speak to my parents. So I have no idea how things are going with them.” That uncertainty will remain until tonight at 7 p.m., the announced time of the demonstration.
The Facebook page 'COA No' has already been removed. “I especially want clarity from the municipality,” says the anonymous initiator. There were people who hung a banner against the COA. But I want to distance myself from that. Above all, we want answers to our questions.”
No, you are slowly being replaced. And, why can’t the refugees be moved into the offices of Left wing academics at the universities, since these are their people, and offices should be shared in good communist form.
