In a small town in Southern Italy, refugees are given fake money that serves as vouchers. The fake banknotes look in a very unexpected way:
Rather than featuring European architectural gems, they bear the likenesses of a collection of communists and leftist leaders – Che Guevara on the fake €10 note, Hugo Chavez on the €20 and Karl Marx on the €50.
It’s quite pathetic to see sated, bored Europeans play these stupid games.
I wonder which note has the picture of Stalin, the most popular communist leader outside of China bar none? The article focuses mainly on how this scheme transfers a lot money from Rome into businesses in Southern Italy. The program is a way to subsidize local Italian businesses. The refugees themselves are only important in so much as they have been made a part of the mechanism for this transfer. But, a direct transfer of the subsidies without the refugees would probably be just as effective.

I’m pretty sure that in South Italy virtually none of the people are refugees in any traditional sense of the word – they are almost all benefits migrants who prone to riot over the indignity of having to eat Italian food and other terrible repressions.
The migrants are just jaded and cynical as the locals. No side looks good here.

…
Local media (in German) tweeted that 21 people had been injured and a suspect appeared to have been shot.

A little update: “the attacker was a 17-year-old Afghan man, who came to Germany as an unaccompanied minor refugee.”
\ I’m sorry to sound callous but are they trying to get Trump elected? Jesus.
Who are ‘ they’, terrorists? May be, Trump is their dream candidate.
Since even American Republicans don’t seem to be excited about Trump, I don’t think one should worry too much:

I am more worried about future European election results. People care about their homes much more than Americans will ever care about terror acts an ocean away.

Hand-painted Isis flag ‘found in room of train attacker’
…
Mr Herrmann said authorities were looking into reports that the attacker had yelled out “an exclamation”. Some witnesses quoted by German media said they had heard him shout “Allahu akbar” (“God is great”) during the attack.
…
Investigators are now looking into whether there was an Islamist motive behind the attack.

Well, luckily he supplied the flag. Otherwise, why would anybody suspect an Islamist motive? However, an Islamist motive is still unclear, if one looks at similar cases:
\ In May, a man reportedly shouting “Allahu akbar” killed a man and wounded three others in a knife attack at a railway station near the German city of Munich.
He was later sent to a psychiatric hospital and authorities said they had found no links to Islamic extremism.

Shouting “Allahu akbar” during the attack is ipso facto evidence of an Islamist motive, regardless of what the shrinks and cops come up with later…being crazy as a loon, or being also angry about something else, doesn’t alter that fact.

There is no conflict between mental illness and islamist motives….
The European PTB are desparate to keep people from noticing what’s going on and are grabbing at straws to avoid admitting that they’ve made a gigantic error in allowing in millions of people who won’t assimilate or integrate.
This means they raise children who are essentially unemployable – making them susceptible to islamist witch doctors who offer them a way to make their wasted lives meaningful if they just go out and kill some kuffar.

The funniest opinion piece I read was one published on 18 Jul 2016, half a day before the ax attack on German train:
Nice was an attack on France, not on Germany
German political leaders were quick to say the Nice rampage was an attack on us as well. This plays into fears about refugees and justifies clampdowns on individual liberty, argues Jörg Luyken.

The funny thing in it is noticed by the commentors:
COMMENT 1
This article reeks of Nationalism, France an EU and NATO member was attacked by a terrorist and IS claimed responsibility. To assume this is not an attack on all of us is obtuse.
I doubt if Texas was attacked by IS the American states would take the view that it was only Texans and not the other States.
ANSWER TO COMMENT 1
Ha! Attack the author in his soft underside! 😉 I am sure he is a great fan of the E.U. and Mama’s “European Values.”
COMMENT 2
So much for EU solidarity.
Germany imposes its own immigration ideology on every other member of the EU but when it backfires badly the response is ‘nothing to do with me’.

The first comment describes how the ax case is explained by German press:

My favorites are about the disappointed expectations of troubled youngsters and “such unfortunate incidents do not happen every day, although they may happen more frequently in future.”
