THE BOAT OF FOOLS AND THE CHAMBERLAIN’S SYNDROME

How we miss Churchill, Roosevelt, and De Gaulle... This article is also available in Brazilian Portuguese. 👉  "Chamberlains" adrift in the "" sea of uncertainties..

By Antonio Fernando Pinheiro Pedro

Blind by the politically correct stupidity, Western leaders fail to properly size the civilization risk represented by the acts of the jihadist barbarism, reflected in the exodus of millions of towards Europe.

France, England, Spain, Italy and Germany live between xenophobia and radicalization "politically correct" that victimizes everyone. Suffer massive invasions and experience unthinkable episodes, such as the invasion of Eurotunnel, the rescue of hundreds of people in rubber boats drifting in the Mediterranean and refugee caravans sent by Eastern Europe.

However, the impression is that they are all "mopping ice". They avoid taking the heart of the matter - because that assumption implies commitment, implies war actions on a larger scale in the regions of origin of migration.

Europe hesitates to assume the direct fight against Islamic radicals and faces the issue of refugees escaping the barbaric acts caused by the latter. 

Politicians, analysts, scholars, and journalists, from Europe and the US, tergiversate and change the subject when the subject refers to the recognition of evil. 

The perversity and barbaric nature are inherent to radical movements such as Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, and the ISIS, directly or indirectly sponsored by Russians, Iranians, Saudis, and Pakistanis. Tolerated by the left-wings and victimized – regarding their “cause,” by those defending the “politically correct."

This faintheartedness, however, is no novelty. 

Western world hesitates today as much as it hesitated to identify evil and decide to annihilate the Nazis in the last century.

Chamberlain shows the paper signed by Hitler.
Hypocrisy wins...

Europeans insist on shift the focus away and forget the lesson learned from the past.

Today, herds of refugees desperately attempt to invade the European continent, running from conflict areas in Africa, Middle East and Near East.

This is not the frivolous search for “a new life” in Western paradise, caused by material difficulties. They are all running away from conflict areas due to the barbaric actions, a horror that has achieved Biblical proportions. 

The Islamic theocratic totalitarianism has tormented the Eastern World for thousands of years and threatens the Western World from time to time. It is never alone. The horror caused by its methods has always preceded it.

Now, this horror is independent from theocratic States. It has a life of its own, allied to thieves, adopted by the psychopathic dementia of individuals with no moral compass, mental hostages of the synergic obscurantism, the intellectual misery, and poor in spirit.

Barbarians that threat helpless citizens in mass are supported by moral weakness and functional illiteracy, plagues that corrode millions of miserable ones subject to economic systems that are absolutely sectarians, and by governments in ruins. They are also imputed with the ability to spread evil, making it commonplace, a functional tool, a self-defense component that allows them to practice genocide.

The genocide affects Christians of all types and Muslims who do not abide to the doctrine assumed by those that spread the horror. It also affects women – subtracted from their human nature, objectified, slaved, and disposed of, after serving the sex purposes of their executioners. This methodic perversion, specifically, shows the evil inherent to radical movements.

For this reason alone, they should be hunted, fought, exterminated or, if captured, trialed and executed, as genocide criminals – according to the terms in international law.

However, Western leaders hesitate… They adopt a hypocritical – “politically correct” – attitude, avoiding to stigmatize Muslim terrorism as THE EVIL, although condemning its actions.

As they cannot follow the stupid suggestion by the President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, of "attempting to establish a dialog," Europe and the United States aim to “fight” and "defraud," specifically the groups of Muslim radicals distributed in an operation stage that has reached continental dimensions...

There are no doubts. The behavior adopted by Western leaders is a symptom of the CHAMBERLAIN’S SYNDROME – political pathology that remits to the naive behavior (reason why it was disastrous for mankind), adopted by the British Prime-Minister Neville Chamberlain, who believed to be able to hold back Hitler, Mussolini and, thereafter, Stalin, making them sign a piece of paper in exchange to the cowardly “granting” of the Czechoslovakia land to the Nazis – the Munich Agreement in 1938.

The stupidity was a strategic gain for Nazis and encouraged them to cause World War II.

What did Hitler have on his mind in this handshake? What do Iranians think now?

Under this historical perspective, we notice how much Churchill, Roosevelt, and De Gaulle are missed in the world today – a world full of "Chamberlains"...

We should have learned the lesson. We should have overcome the “Chamberlain’s Syndrome.” But not only because of the terrible events in the last century; we should study the historical records of the Roman Empire.

At the end of the Western Empire, generals and the Roman Senate found that the furious crowd of armed barbarians, who took over cities, destroyed properties, and distilled their hate towards “civilization” values, was not “invading” Rome – but ESCAPING, in fear, from Huns and Mongols.

The Roman Empire, consumed by internal conflict, preferred to attempt accepting the Germanic barbarians, dismantling its own army, as they no longer had strategic ability to organize an expedition to contain the advancement of the Huns, much less the distant Mongol threat, which in reality was pushing that mass of people into its territory. As everyone knows, this was a huge mistake...

A little over ten years ago, European leaders underestimated the Al-Qaeda – despite all signs that indicated the organization was articulated in European lands. This cost the lives of thousands of citizens in terrorist attacks in Europe, the USA, Africa, and Asia.

Today, the Western world seems to be unable to decide to fight the Islamic State and its African satellites with the necessary strength. Experts used to finding culprits say that “we are fighting the wrong dictators (Saddam, Gaddafi, and Assad)."

As if in regret, leaders are silent and hesitating. 

 

Syrian Refugees – millions escaping the barbaric acts

 The Obama administration seems to have been affected by the Chamberlain’s syndrome, which has contaminated the United Nations for long.

The greatest evidence of such contamination is the precarious, unenforceable treaty related to nuclear security, signed with Iran – one of the Islamic States which, despite the lack of protection to ISIS, supports Al Qaeda activities and its Shiite satellites.

Iranians will build the atomic bomb... and they will not hesitate in using it, if the Western world should offer a window of opportunity they expect with the treaty signed with the US... just as it happened in the 1938 Munich Agreement.

Chamberlain was the great precursor of this idiotic behavior known as "politically correct" – that translates by the infinite tolerance with all types of psychopathy, victimization of moral and legal offenses and reprehension to those that are contrary to the offenders. The purpose of the "politically correct" is, specifically, not to solve the conflict, but reduce it, respecting the engaged players.

Europe has tolerated terrorist barbaric acts for its the narrow vision adopted by left-wing parties and governments that encourage social resentment and promote a speech that “victimizes the excluded ones” against the “reprehensive apparatus” of democratic regimes. This “social resentment” stimulated the escape of youngsters from Muslim immigrant and refugee families to be enlisted with the bloody radical armies in the Middle East and is the root of terrorist acts perpetrated against European people. Too high a price, paid by the rhetoric stupidity…

Terror of African refugees in mare nostrum

The phenomenon of tolerance with the Islamic radicalism is supported by the fainthearted condescendence of Western government and parties, known as being “politically correct,” who find themselves pressure to react against sectarian and xenophobic policies that are wide spread in local governments in Europe and America.

The effects of proselytism mess are claimed in new barbaric hoards that arrive by the hundreds, adrift, in pieces of wreckages, floating scraps, amidst decomposing bodies, etc...

Apparently, the Western world is, again, hostage to timid leaders. "Chamberlains" in a ship adrift in the “politically correct” sea of hypocrisy.

Quo usque tandem???

O tempora, o mores!
