How migrant youth triggered the French firestorm

(Author’s note: The ongoing firestorm in France is so complex, with many forces having their own agendas, that I thought it best to focus on the essential sociopolitical situation, namely, the migrants on one side and the local residents on the other, without considering other factors such as the Left and the Right asserting themselves, and propaganda and vested interests proliferating.)

Catalyst No. 1 — Massive New Migrants. As of this writing, France has a total population of 66.9 million, 13.8 percent, or 9.23 million, of whom are migrants. Net migration increase is about 150,000 to 176,000 yearly, representing a staggering 90 percent of the country’s total population growth. This is a modest average compared to other Western European nations. (Source: Google).

The ramifications of population growth fueled by the 90-percent massive entry of migrants is the biggest catalyst to the firestorm, and the focus of grave concern as being fraught with danger.

Catalyst No. 2 — Migrant Youth Population Outpaces Locals. Add to this the high growth rate of migrant children compared to the locals who essentially limit their number of children, a cultural practice in affluent European countries. In other words, it is just a matter of time before the migrant population outpaces the locals.

The annual net migration of 150,000, conservatively producing, say, five children per family, translates to a 750,000 migrant youth sector. Apply a bit of progression to these figures and we have a staggering migrant youth sector of about five million within three years, conservatively. (Source: Google).

Catalyst No. 3 — Alienated Migrant Youth. The migrant youth sector has been alienated from mainstream French society. They cannot and will not integrate into the mainstream. They are seething with raw anger as kids in limbo. If you watch videos of street protests, you can feel this anger clearly. They are even alienated from their parents.

These are the three ingredients of the raging French firestorm. There are similar firestorms flaring up in Italy, the UK, the EU and the US. It is sadly a growing global phenomenon.

The global scenario

Let us briefly step back. This social situation is at the very core, the very heart, of most affluent European countries absorbing migrants, especially the UK, France and Germany. This is a social dilemma facing affluent societies on a global scale today.

And the situation is cumulative and unstoppable — migrants fleeing poverty and wars in the South, running in desperation towards the peaceful, affluent North; through the years, the very fiber of societies is mutilated, and this is reaching global proportions.

Key global events tend to exacerbate the situation — the AI frenzy that may cause a humanitarian crisis, and the greed of Big Tech firms forging ahead at a dizzying pace to control and take over the large AI pie.

It is all greed and power in the hands of a few. There are warnings from experts foreseeing a massive global disaster, but these are ignored by those in high places who are blinded by the glitter of gold.

The key ingredients for a humanitarian crisis include: 1) An AI frenzy perhaps leading to a massive AI bubble; 2) robotics and AI coming up with more sophisticated weapons of war; China is ahead in producing robot soldiers (a war with robot soldiers is unimaginable); 3) perhaps the greatest catalyst of all is within our hearts — greed for money and power, anger, vengeance, amorality and loss of conscience in high places. May God have mercy on us all.

Prayer for peace and harmony

Fatima is ironically the daughter of Mohammed, the founder of Islam. In Arabic, the verb fatama means to separate (from hellfire). (Source: Google). Our Lady of Fatima perhaps suggests peace can be achieved between Christians and Muslims and hellfire avoided through the help of the Christian Virgin, the Queen of Peace.

Dear Jesus, Prince of Peace, we beseech Thee to touch our hearts and shed off our greed for power and money, and the anger of victims, for the sake of the destiny of Humanity. Do not permit Evil to reign over Good. Touch the hearts of those in Big Tech who control AI growth, which may end in a crisis of vast proportions with many lives lost. Teach them to consider Humankind. Remove their greed and blindness. Through the intercession of Our Lady of Fatima, whose prophecies have warned us of dire things to come. Amen.
