Denmark Sending Migrants to Rwanda

It begins.

Denmark’s left-wing government will begin sending asylum seekers to Rwanda after groundbreaking agreement

Instead of migrants waiting in Denmark for their asylum request to be processed, the country’s left-wing government will now begin deporting them to Rwanda after the African country agreed to accept them in a bilateral agreement.

The plan, which has long been a goal of Denmark’s right-wing parties, took more than a year of negotiations, but the policy goal is now closer than ever to being realized. The deal does not apply to only Rwandan migrants — instead all asylum seekers would be forced to wait in Africa until their asylum procedure is finished. The fact that the plan is being implemented by a left-leaning government points to the strange circumstances in Denmark in which the left has embraced many of the anti-immigration polices of the right.

The strange circumstance where a mainstream party used their gray cells.

Anti-immgration is the winning issue. Not only are these migrants going to stay in Rwanda, but the rest of Europe will start making deals with other countries to take migrants. And then they'll move on to unassimilated foreigners, eventually coming to mean Muslims. It was done once before and it will be done again.

“Every fifth young man with a non-Western background born in 1997 had broken the law before turning 21. It’s not everyone. But there are too many young men who take the freedom of others, steal children’s futures, intimidate prison guards – and leave behind a long trail of insecurity,” said the Danish prime minister.

“It has been going on for too many years. Girls who are called derogatory names because they are Danish. Or girls who are subjected to social control because they have become too Danish. A sausage cart in Brønshøj that is attacked with firecrackers because it sells pork,” she said.

She sounds a lot like Trump, no? The next decade is going to really suck for globalists and mentally ill people. If you want to know why the ruling class of America, and the West more generally, floods the country with illegal aliens, sends children to die in pointless wars, sends billions to Ukraine while people are homeless at home, why illegal aliens are given free transportation and never had any covid restrictions, why people are willing to destroy the health and wealth of a nation in pursuit of fake climate science, look no further than this image of loyalty:
The "right" is most loyal to its family, friends, nation. Loyalty moves out from the family. The "left" is loyal to foreigners, even enemies of the tribe in the extreme. The warmongers on the right are no less "left" than the nominal left because they are expressing a part of the same twisted ideology. No one with loyalty to their own people would waste so much blood and treasure on foreign wars, nor oppose common sense economic policies that help their citizens. That Denmarks "left" embraces common sense loyalty to its own people is the shocking thing in Europe? No, what's shocking is that Denmark joins a handful of governments in the West that place their own citizens first.

The American ruling class' attempt at labeling January 6 protesters as traitors is going to be one of the all-time backfires if a right-wing politician who understands that picture above wins. It is trivial to flip the entire authoritarian police state against the people who have the inverted loyalty because they observably behave like traitors by tearing down statues, defaming the nation's heroes, support foreign governments and illegal aliens and so on. It's also expressed by the research showing white leftists are now anti-white bigots and that trend has strengthened over time.

If America goes, then Europe will go down like dominoes almost instantly because look at Denmark. It's already happening. The playbook is right there in the open, but we do live in authoritarian times. Why do you think the DoJ and FBI are raiding dozens of Trump officials and supporters? There is nothing stopping whatever party or movement grabs ahold of the immigration issue. 

This isn't a traditional left-right issue, it is the globalist-nationalist dividing line. If you support local control and helping people locally, you are now "far right" aka nationalist and if you support sending money and effort as far away as possible, you are "far left."

Back to Europe, the icing out of the nationalist Sweden Democrats failed: The astonishing rise of the right-wing Sweden Democrats

But as vote-counting progressed, the right-wing bloc consisting of the Liberals, Christian Democrats, Moderates and Sweden Democrats now seems on track to win, currently with 49.7% of the vote.

While final results aren’t expected before Wednesday, Social Democrats have so far received the largest percentage of votes, 30.5%.

But currently, the Sweden Democrats are the second-strongest party, gaining 20.6% of the vote in their best-ever election performance. That makes them the biggest party on the right, in front of the Moderates who came as a close third with 19.1%.

Anti-immigration is common sense in an age where the ruling class is implementing extremist migration policies that exterminate the local culture and destroy local sovereignty. It is actually one of the definitions of genocide, and some people who talk about Tibet and Xinjiang in China do call the mass migration of Han Chinese into these areas as a kind of genocide because they realize its designed to crush local power. Yet when it is being done at an even greater scale in the West...it's only a matter of time before someone even more radical than Trump comes along to flip the table for good. And if he's an authoritarian, the idiots in the ruling class have build him the power structure he can use to eliminate their power with both shocking rapidity and shocking popularity.

Zimbabwe Says Yuan Strong. We Say Overvalued

The Chinese yuan and euro have tracked closely since the yuan's "surprise" depreciation in August 2015. It has outperformed the euro versus the U.S. dollar by 4 percentage points since then. USDCNY "should be" around 6.65 right now. China could have dumped euro assets and re-dollarized in the interim, it could have added more appreciating currencies, it could have invented a new formula that returns the desired exchange rate or it could be making up the numbers.

If you listen to Zimbabwe though, the yuan is a strong currency.

iFeng: 14个国家开了一场会 人民币成为“硬通货”
In 2016, due to the long-term lack of dollar reserves, the Central Bank of Zimbabwe imposed controls that stipulate that each account can only withdraw $50 per day, while the bank's own limit is more stringent — only $20 can be withdrawn.

In Zimbabwe, the renminbi became the local circulation currency starting from 2015. However, the U.S. dollar remains the most widely traded foreign currency in the country, but due to the reduction in supply, it poses a problem for local small and medium-sized manufacturing companies that need imported products.

Recently, the official website of the China-Africa Cooperation Forum quoted foreign media sources saying that because of the growing economic influence of China in Africa, the Central Bank of Zimbabwe recommended that southern and eastern African countries use the renminbi as their reserve currency.
I'm not sure the world is ready for taking advice from Zimbabwe's central bankers.
In Zimbabwe’s central bank governor’s view, the development of Africa should embrace the renminbi. As we all know, the renminbi has become a "universal foreign currency" in the trade between China and Africa.

In fact, the Zimbabwean central bank’s proposal is also the idea of ​​many African countries.

According to a report in the “Global Times”, the Eastern and Southern African Institute of Macroeconomics and Financial Management (MEFMI) stated in a statement that 17 senior officials of the government and central banks in the region were in the capital of Zimbabwe on May 29 and 30 in Harrah. On the forum held by Ray, the topic of “the feasibility of using RMB as the reserve currency in the region” was discussed.

MEFMI is a regional research institute consisting of 14 countries in Africa, including Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. MEFMI spokesperson Gladys Severa-Jadadgu said that China is the largest trading partner of more than 130 countries and regions, and the main challenge for African countries is how to benefit from the new international trade model. Most countries in the MEFMI region have loans or donations from China, and it is economically significant to repay them in RMB. “The renminbi has become the so-called 'common currency' in trade with Africa.”
If the U.S. Dollar Index weakens and moves to a new low then the yuan will be a strong currency. If the dollar moves higher still, the yuan has a lot of catching up to do.
