Quite possible of course and I do not rule this out at all. However, if I were a secular Syrian and the US is creating deliberate chaos in my country to get rid of the elected head of state I'd be heading to secular Europe too and not to crazy cruel gulf countries, North Africa, or the East both of which are also in western caused chaos and madness. Also every capitalist loves a nice big pool of cheap labour to use at will and which functions to depress real wages and undermine unionised workers. Capitalists love immigrants for their desperation and lack of choices.

George Soros, a Hungarian-born American business magnate, apparently despises the idea of national sovereignty, considering it an obstacle to his new "open borders" agenda.
"A few weeks ago, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban accused the billionaire financier of funding activists trying to encourage the continued flow of refugees heading to the continent from the Middle East and beyond," Adriel Kasonta, an editorial board member at the Central European Journal of International and Security Studies, writes in his article for the American Conservative.

Ticking Clock: European Civilization on the Brink of Extinction?
Kasonta notes that Orban has nailed it, since the statement voiced by the Hungarian Prime Minister in fact expressed the emotions of many Europeans regarding the continent's place in the world and the future of national sovereignty.According to the Polish analyst, a recent report of the International Organization for Migration has indicated that around 760,979 asylum seekers have poured into Europe this year. Furthermore, about 218,394 migrants reached European shores in October, according to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR).
It this does sound alarming since the total number of migrants and refugees that arrived in Europe in 2014 amounted to just 219,000.
"It is essential to not only look at the economic, political, and humanitarian aspects of the crisis, but also consider the state of the European psyche in order to understand what is happening in the continental European mind," Kasonta stressed.

He quoted the Hungarian Prime Minister who warned: "Everything which is now taking place before our eyes threatens to have explosive consequences for all of Europe… If Europe does not return to the path of common sense, it will find itself laid low in a battle for its fate."Billionaire George Soros does not share this stance: "[Orbán's] plan treats the protection of national borders as the objective and the refugees as an obstacle. Our plan treats the protection of refugees as the objective and national borders as the obstacle," the notorious magnate said in response to Orban's warning, as quoted by Kasonta.
The Polish analyst elaborated that it is actually Soros, who shares part of the blame for bolstering the migrant influx. Activists like Soros, Kasonta says, are encouraging migrants to flow into Europe and persuade Europeans "to regard borders and sovereignty as things of the past."

"[Activist like Soros] are trying to rip off our birth right to sovereignty and stigmatize people by accusing them of upholding an outmoded Christian identity," the Polish analyst stressed.Kasonta bemoans the fact that the current refugee crisis in Europe "is already creating damage that will be hard to repair."
He warns that the continental nationalism has caught a second wind and could undermine European peace and well-being.
Kasonta cited prominent French thinker Alexis de Tocqueville who wrote on the eve of the 1848 revolution that "we are sleeping on a volcano… A wind of revolution blows, the storm is on the horizon."

Well, of course, if Europe swung towards Russia, as Germany wanted to do - and recently seemed to be heading that way again too after the Ukraine affair - then it would be disastrous, if not a death blow, to the US bloc. But we need to remember that an awful lot of very wealthy and powerful people in Europe continue to favour the American model of fucking over everybody for the personal benefit of the few - as demonstrated by the annual pilgrimage to the Bilderberg Conferences, and Trilateral meetings. Etc.
Unleashing hellfire and brimstone on continental Europe to keep it firmly in the US camp would be in the US playbook for certain.

Just been wondering about this and what it is. Is it organised? Is it strategic? Is it just men in groups behaving badly? Just men behaving badly? New Years eve being a prime time for drunken lecherous men out in public. Would expect the same from football yobbos too. Is also reminiscent of the moral panic re Chinese men and black men and white women.
Quote:Cologne police 'struggled to gain control during mass sexual assaults' Leaked report says officers were overwhelmed, as minister says asylum seekers could be deported if convicted
Cologne attacks: victims describe ordeal Mark Tran and agencies
Friday 8 January 2016 00.09 AEDT
A leaked police report into a string of sexual assaults in Cologne at new year has revealed officers struggled to gain control of the situation, as Germany's justice minister said asylum seekers could be deported if they were found to have participated in the attacks.
Tensions rise in Germany over handling of mass sexual assaults in Cologne
Victims described their attackers as being "Arab or North African" in appearance but authorities have said there is no concrete proof that the perpetrators of the attacks in Cologne were asylum seekers. Sixteen people are being investigated, but no one has yet been charged, Agence France-Press reported.
The police report, leaked to the German tabloid Bild, described how officers were initially overwhelmed by the events outside the city's train station on New Year's Eve, after which more than 100 women filed criminal complaints of sexual assault and robbery, including two accounts of rape.
It said women were forced to "run a gauntlet … beyond description" to reach or leave the station.
"The officers on the ground couldn't gain control of all of the events, attacks and crimes there were simply too many at the same time for that to be possible," a high-ranking officer wrote, describing the scene police arrived to. "On the square outside were several thousand mostly male people of a migrant background who were firing all kinds of fireworks and throwing bottles into the crowd at random.
"Even the appearance of police officers on the scene … didn't hold the masses back from their actions." The report added that police who tried to clear the square faced a barrage of fireworks and bottles.
The incidents in and around the square in front of the main train station next to the city's gothic cathedral have led to accusations of a police and media coverup to avoid anti-foreigner sentiment following Angela Merkel's open-door policy towards refugees and migrants, which has led to more than a million people arriving in the past 12 months.
On Thursday, Heiko Maas, the justice minister, said that if asylum seekers were among the perpetrators, that was not a reason to place all refugees under general suspicion. But he added that "deportations would certainly be conceivable" for those convicted.
Maas said the law allowed for people to be deported during asylum proceedings if they were sentenced to a year or more in prison. "The courts will have to decide on the level of sentences, but that penalty is in principle absolutely possible for sexual offences," he told the Funke newspaper group.
Thomas de Maizière, the interior minister, said on Wednesday: "Anyone who commits serious crimes, whatever status he is in, must reckon with being deported from Germany."
Ralf Stegner, the deputy chief of the Social Democrats, junior partners in Merkel's coalition, told Die Welt newspaper that constantly "reacting to current public moods is not a responsible manner of governance."

The whole refugee crisis smells to high heavens to me. How better to destablize Europe than sending a million plus refugees there? Let's remember that part of the Wolfowitz Doctrine was directed as much at Europe as Russia and China when ot came to making sure that no power should be allowed to develop as a rival to US hegemony.

Nice that this is out (I've had soooo many threats to life an' limb - and 'carrots' too - to the effect of 'Go join ISIL'; like I say, a drinking, smoking athiest... Seems like a good idea.. >wibble<).
I was surprised when Wolfowitz came-out with support of Turkey joining the EU - what's he to gain? This was around the time of an outbreak of birdflu in Turkey, where it was being officially denied, but then it turned-out some blokie had been slaughtering chickens an' giving his kids the heads and entrails to play with.... >doh< . I could only suppose the gig was not in the EU's best interests.
From Wikip-: Wolfowitz Doctrine-is an unofficial name given to the initial version of the Defense Planning Guidance for the 199499 fiscal years (dated February 18, 1992) authored by [size=12]Under Secretary of Defense for Policy[/SIZE] [size=12]Paul Wolfowitz[/SIZE] and his deputy [size=12]Scooter Libby[/SIZE]. Not intended for public release, it was leaked to the [size=12]New York Times[/SIZE] on March 7, 1992,[size=12][1][/SIZE] and sparked a public controversy about U.S. foreign and defense policy. The document was widely criticized as [size=12]imperialist[/SIZE] as the document outlined a policy of [size=12]unilateralism[/SIZE] and pre-emptive military action to suppress potential threats from other nations and prevent any other nation from rising to superpower status.
Such was the outcry that the document was hastily re-written under the close supervision of [size=12]U.S. Secretary of Defense[/SIZE] [size=12]Dick Cheney[/SIZE] and [size=12]Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff[/SIZE] [size=12]Colin Powell[/SIZE] before being officially released on April 16, 1992. Many of its tenets re-emerged in the [size=12]Bush Doctrine[/SIZE],[size=12][2][/SIZE] which was described by Senator [size=12]Edward M. Kennedy[/SIZE] as "a call for 21st century American imperialism that no other nation can or should accept."[size=12][3][/SIZE]
I used to get a load of "American exceptionalism" refs, (and refs to-, 'American exceptionalism', which might be slightly more klepto, than direct orchestrations), sometimes in Latin... Same with 'might is right'.
