A mass refugee crisis that is plaguing Europe has now become unmanageable. The Calais camp in France has gradually been cleared by force. The Western media presents an image of refugees as criminals and terrorists instead of the victims of imperialism and radical political Islamism. The repercussions of the Arab Spring caused disorder in the Middle East and North Africa, causing people to flee. The UK, US, France, and the NATO alliance escalated it further by embarking on a policy of regime change in Libya and Syria. As long as the bombings continue in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and North Africa more refugees will come. The vicious face of European racism is showing in electoral victories of far-right parties across Europe. Utilizing the fear and hate of European populations parties like the UK Independence Party, Le Pen's National Front, Paideia, and the Alternative for Germany are gaining more power. Populism, xenophobia, and racial hatred are creating a more rabid aggressive European nationalism. This is further complicated by a new wave of anti-Russian sentiment and NATO build-up in Eastern Europe and the Baltic. The image of a human rights promoting Europe as been proven a fabrication.
