"Uspećemo!", "Nous l'aboutirons!"
Famous or, to the right-wing radicals, infamous comments by the President of Yugoslavia, Vojislav Šešelj and Chancellor of France, Rachida Dati, regarding the refugee crisis. Each of the two countries were predicted to recieve over 4 million Indian refugees by the end of 2015.
Chapter 41: March 11, 2011 (53 miles off the coast near Zihuatenejo, Mexico) - November 13, 2015 (Berlin, German Empire)
On November 21, 2013, pro-democracy protests and demands of ousting long-time General Secretary Fidel V. Ramos, who had recently terminated negotiations for a free trade and association agreement with the European Council (EC) including Russia. This agreement, despite the Phillippines being nominally communist, should have helped their economy, removed old trade barriers dating from the Cold War which were now unnecessary with the new situation (no real communist threat anymore), and it should have helped Russia with easier access to a warm-water port. The world still does not know whether the negotiations were terminated on the own free will of Fidel V. Ramos or whether America, also desperately wanting a port on the Indian Ocean, threatened he Phillippines with sanctions or other sorts of consequences.
Anyway,, from November 2013 to February 2014, Fidel V. Ramos was not prepared to resign, but he was also not prepared to have his police, secret services or riot police fire on the peaceful "Euroermita" protestors, assembling around Padre Burgos Street and Taft Avenue. In February 2014, the most casualty-heavy month of the protests followed as police, riot police and other, more obscure "security forces" fired live and rubber ammunition into the crowds. Many people idied in these fateful days, but soon enough, the Ramos administration fled from Manila to an unknown location.
For a few days, it looked like there would be a free, democratic and capitalist, and united, Phillippines. However, in late February, Mitt Romney, President of the American Federation, had already remarked during an emergency session of the Mindanao Socialist Republic regional parliament that one "needs to work on the integration of Mindanao into the American Federation". This made the Phillippine administration, and the international community, suspicios. And even more suspcious they got when alleged American incognito troops ("The Blues") took control of strategic locations on the islands of Mindanao and Sulu, and installed a heavily pro-American government.

De facto, Mindanao was hereby annexed into the American Federation, which international governments decry as a "violation of territorial integrity of sovereighnty of the Phillippines". . A referendum held on Mindanao to confirm that 96 % of the population was for joining America was decried as "illegal" and criticised as not having been held under free and fair conditions, as is required for a secession referendum to be valid.
Mindanao soon officially asked for admission into the American Federation, and was granted this after America had changed its official state admission policy to eliminate the provision that the foreign national government needed to have initiated the admission procedures. By July 2015, Mitt Romney claimed that Mindanao had been "fully integrated" into the American system of government and life. A special administrative status had been granted to the city of Davao with its important military installations. In Davao and other cities, Russian fighter and bomber airplanes, and even some nuclear missiles (or so the international community suspects) were immediately stationed, and this was going to serve an important purpose when Russia intervened on Modi's side in the indian Civil War, bombing all sorts and stripes of rebels.
During this action, the international community were, in the opinion of many, revealed to be hypocrites as they first decried the annexation of Mindanao, but then tacitly consented to the "anti-CAIA" operations launched from exactly the same island by the American Federation.
Soon after the Mindanao status referendum, which has anyway been internationally criticized, "The Blues" also turned up, together with local pro-American demonstrators and militant rioters, on Samar, Leyte, Panay and Cebu and other, smaller and more insignificant, islands in the Visayas Socialist Republic region of the Phillippines. In April-August 2014, the Filipino national government gained back quite a few areas, most notably Samar, from the rebellious "Free State of Samarleyte" and "Free State of Panay", but on August 22, a convoy of "humanitarian aid" ships containing American incognito soldiers and arms arrived, without the consent or control of the Filipinos, in Samar, and then, the rebels could gain back most of their land. Ever since a ceasefire is in effect, namely since January 2015 (Jakarta II), the conflict on the Phillippines is a frozen conflict. Few casualties occur by now, the ceasefire is violated occasionally by both sides, but generally, the conflict is frozen with the Free States of Samarleyte and Panay remaining under the control of the Americans.
India and Southeast Asia:
In India, the situation became ever more desperate. CAIA's expansion could not be stopped, and Narendra Modi lost a lot of control over his territory. It was so desperate, especially as the international community got more and more horrified at CAIA's actions against supposed "infidels": crucifixion, burning at the stake and other abhorrent measures were used, also against Westerners either fighting CAIA or even against journalists trying to report out of the CAIA-controlled area, e.g. against the massacres, systematic rape and murder of the Assamese Shamanists. Many of these peoples fled to the Dzhongka-tribe controlled area, or to the Rohingyan-controlled areas in the South, but many of the displaced persons had one aim: Europe. This was also true for many Rohingyans themselves, whenever they were attacked, murdered, persecuted by CAIA or the Indian and Burmese state governments.
In Thailand, the Fascist Spring was once again rolled back when the people started, again, to demonstrate against their (freely elected!) Puritan leader. After several days of demonstrations, the military, still friendly to Tisulanonda, couped the elected leaders out of office and put General Prayut "Tuu" Chan-o-Cha into power. To this day, he governs the country with an iron fist and has sentenced several Puritan leaders to death or long prison sentences. On a more positive note, Chan-o-Cha has promised a civilian parliament for 2016...

Only in Vietnam and Cambodia did the spirit of the Fascist Spring remain alive, despite a Radical CaoDai party having won the first free elections in Vietnam, too, however as it had to form a coalition, there was no radical implementation of Caodai. And in Cambodia, which is generally considered the most or second most successful Fascist Spring country as far as regards human rights and democracy (despite not having that many uprisings), the King has successfully devolved many, but not too many, powers to a democratically elected parliament, whose first leader became the 87-year old Chhit Choeun.
Despite these successes and failures of the Fascist spring, the world concentrated on India ever since. When, in the summer of 2014, CAIA was close to marching on Naypyidaw and a separatist Free Republic of the Mon had taken Yangon under its "protection", to a great extent from CAIA, Narendra Modi did a hithertho unprecedented move: He negotiated with the international community and with the leaders of most of the separatist movements and, on July 7, asked the international community to recognise the following new states:
- Sikh Republic of Khalistan
- Republic of Balochistan
- Democratic Republic of Aryastan (mainly for Roma, but also other "original" Rajasthani people)
- Islamic Republic of Balochistan
- Republic of Pakistan
- Greater Free State of Tamil Nadu
- Duchy of Hyderabad
- Kingdom of Mysore.
Modi was prepared to give to them the troops, including air force and nuclear weapons and navy ships if applicable, which were stationed in their areas as of July 1, 2014, as these separatist movements were just bent on independence, not ideologically motivated (although he was partly decieved by the nature of the Baloch separatists), and thus relatively harmless and having a lot of support by the international public. Also, he needed to focus on both CAIA and the government-changing rebels in the central and northern parts of the country.
Despite this, CAIA seemed unstoppable and renamed itself CI (Christian Inquisition) in the summer of 2014, to underline its claim on the whole world and not just Asia. Nevertheless, many media and internet sites continued to use CAIA as a term for these criminal religious fanatics.
Another "blessed moment" for CAIA/CI came when China's government fell apart into militia and other civil warfare: Two governments, one in Nanjing and one in Xi'an, claimed that they were the official, legitimate national government, with the international community surprisingly recognising the Xi'an one, and several militias composed of ethnic minorities in mountainous and other sparsely populated areas also controlled territory to varying extents. China was truly falling apart by late 2014, and CAIA or the CI, as it wants to be called, profited from this chaos, conquering even more territory in southwestern China (where the most Christians live), but also taking over a city in the eastern part.
Europe:
Europe had several, smaller and bigger, problems during the 2010s, but things were also going well.
Mexico had acquired peaceful nuclear power technology in the late 1960s, provided by its "elder brother", the UASR. This ended up being fatal for quite a few people on March 11, 2011: On this day, an earthquake 54 miles off the coast of Mexico caused such a huge tsunami that the security measures of the Zihuatenejo nuclear power plant were literally washed away. The power plant itself, namely three of the five reactors, were destroyed (reactors 3 and 4) or severely damaged (reactor 2), too. This caused the second full nuclear meltdown in history, after the Duane Arnold disaster of 1986 the second INES 7 event (and the third above INES 6, including the little-known La Ronge spill). After the nuclear accident, a beautiful bay and its surroundings were contaminated with the radioactive water. Fatalities directly from the nuclear accident are not revealed by the Aztec radical government, instead, they reacted, to the shock and sheer astonishment of world media, by sacrificing the leader of the responsible power company, to the world only known as Nextepehua IV., to the god of fertility and of the rains Tlaloc, in a procedure broadcast live on TV and, at least in brutality, equalling if not overtaking CAIA executions: He was cut open alive, without anaesthetics, and his beating heart including the aorta was cut out, followed by the testicles. Both were ritually dissected and burned in fire in a Tlaloc temple, and the remains were eaten in a festive ceremony including several high government officials, most notably the "Ministre of Natural Forces".
Since evacuations were undertaken only sparsely (the regime hoped for Tlaloc and the other gods, especially Ixtlilton, a god of medicine and healing, to safeguard the people with the help of traditional medicines), fatalities rose to over 27,000 over the next five years, mainly due to radiation-induced cancers and acute or chronic radiation sickness.
A beautiful and lively city was destroyed and had to be abandoned due to the Zihuatenejo Nuclear disaster.
This disaster, pictures and reports of which were continuously leaked over TV and the Internet, had consequences and ramifications world-wide... but especially so in France. In France, several state elections, most notably in "green"-oriented Normandie, were scheduled to take place only two weeks after the Zihuatenejo nuclear disaster. These elections were not rescheduled, but int he meantime, Rachida Dati had announced the
Moratorium atomique, ordering the 20 oldest nuclear power plants of France immediately disconnected, despite lawsuits being filed by
ElNo and
IFE (Electricité Normandie and Île-de-France Electrique), two of the four big for-profit energy suppliers of France. The younger 22 nuclear power plants were, despite the running times of all nuclear power plants having been prolonged only in the previous autumn, only allowed to run until 2021/24 at the latest, and France thus initiated the
Tournant Enérgetique, embarking on the final project to disavow nuclear power plants for good and to go 100 % renewable by 2050.
But the same project was done in Yugoslavia, with all nuclear power plants being either turned off or made to be earthquake-safe (in parts of Yugoslavia, seismic activities are not uncommon, although not as hefty as off Japan or Mexico), with the government of Vojislav Seselj, a popular one that was first elected in 2004 and then reelected in 2009 and 2014 (the Yugoslav constitution has quite a mighty President, with five-year terms and unlimited amounts of reelection) announcing in March 2011 that it would withdraw from nuclear energy for good by 2030.
Next came the second wave of "rescue packages" for the FOUBAR countries. While packages for Armenia (March/April 2013) or Finland (June-September 2013) were short-lived themes in the national media of the ECU countries, the repeated packages for the Ottoman Empire were not. And so, every election of Prime Minister of the Ottoman Empire since 2011 caused huge repercussions in all European countries, as the party system of the Ottoman Empire, once so stably divided into National and the more left-wing Democratic Socialist People's Party, became more and more instable. Unreformed communists of the "Republican Workers' Liberation Party" led by Abdullah Öcalan in combination with Nurullah Ankut gained strength. But even more so did socialist left-wingers around Selahattin Demirtas, and, worrying many people, also extreme Ottoman expansionist nationalists, dreaming of the borders of 1900 or, in some very extreme cases, 1683, gained strength under the Islamist and extremely nationalist "Great Unity Party" under Mustafa Destici.
Until 2012, the two big parties could hold an equilibrum, but then, during the European football championship, the DSPP under Selahattin Demirtas gained vast amounts of votes from the opposition to French-led continuous austerity packages. It took them until January 2014, though, to truly win an election and make Demirtas into Prime Minister of the Ottoman Empire. After this had happened, though, relations between Vilnius and Istanbul were very strained as austerity conditions were regularly not met by Istanbul's government under Demirtas and for half a year and more, there was a summit nearly every other week. In July of that year, it was looking as if the Ecuzone was getting ever and ever closer to an imminent Otexit. However, at the last minute and with the Prime Minister, Selahattin Demirtas not heeding a referendum, issued on the question of whether to follow austerity policies French-style or not, the Otexit could be prevented with Demirtas promising to follow austerity policies and push through any and all reform, even if that made him unpopular not only with the Ottoman population, but with all serious left-wingers in Europe.
The Euro crisis also galvanised support for euroskeptic and more or less right-wing parties in Europe. It all began with the Great Unity Party of the Ottoman Empire, followed by the Obóz Narodowo-Radykalny (ONR, National Radical Camp) gaining significant steam in Poland and starting to become competitive in local and regional elections from 2012 onwards, due to increasing turning to Christianity in the wake of supposed "mass Inca, Hinduist and Sikh immigration". The
Balti Iseseisvuspartei (BIP) under its well-known charismatic leaders Sven Sildnik and Risto Teihonen had been able to compete in elections in the United Baltic Duchies already from 2002, but this was to be attributed to a good part to the shooting of a charismatic politician, Kristijan-Olari Leping, by radical pro-Hindu animal rights activist Gerhart Rudolf. The BIP had lost some of its popularity in the intervening years, but was rapidly regaining it, together with radical, but charismatic Risto Teihonen, during the Indian Refugee Crisis.
In Germany, the ECU crisis and increasing euroskepticism (Germany was never quite au fait with European integration, still being sort of stuck in the times of its great empire and dreaming of being a world power independent of all other alliances) lead to the founding of the AfD - PUDR (Alternative für Deutschland - Partei der Unabhängigkeit des Deutschen Reiches/Alternative for Germany - German Empire Independence Party) under charismatic Bernd Lucke. And like that, Euroskeptic parties were founded and/or, if already founded, rapidly gaining votes all accross Europe. And this trend was to increase to a worrying scale by late 2015...
On January 7, Berlin was hit by a heinous terrorist attack against freedom of speech when the satire magazines
Wochen-Bravo and
Der Postillon was attacked and 22 people killed by CAIA-affiliated terrorists, who later took hostages and killed four more people in a
halal supermarket. This attack led to a quick, but intense worldwide solidarisation movement under the motto "Ich Bin Bravo!", but unfortunately, some postings and tweets on the internet also espoused the Crusade counter-slogan "Ich Bin Barua!" after the name of the pair of brothers that were the attackers, A. and K. Barua.
And from summer 2015 onwards, the ensuing refugee crisis was the dominant media theme of Europe, this is especially the case after Vojislav Seselj and Rachida Dati, of Yugoslavia and France respectively, at a EC conference, uttered the above quotes as an incitation to look with hope towards the millions of Muslim, Sikh and Hindu refugees and not with distress and horror. Volunteer help set a positive sign of a "welcome culture" throughout spring and summer 2015, especially in Yugoslavia and France, after the refugees' arduous and life-threatening trail. Most refugees were carried, by the help of expensive traffickers which many a time cost the refugees their whole savings, through the deserts of the Taklamakan, the mountains of the Hindukush and Zagros, then into Armenia and from there, with the help of unseaworthy ships over the Black Sea (or at least the Sea of Azov, if they went over Georgia and the "Russian Riviera"), into Ukraine, Bulgaria and Rumania, then arriving in Yugoslavia and, if they wanted to, further into Europe. Some of them did indeed arrive in countries like France, Germany, Galicia, Sweden or Portugal, but most refugees from the Indian and Chinese refugee crises, fled into East Turkestan, Mongolia, Mengjiang or The Republic of Manchuria. In the year of 2015, over seven million refugees arrived in the EC area, five of them wanting to go to Yugoslavia or France.
However, fears roamed across Europe, fears of Muslims introducing their harsh and human rights violating Shari'a laws into European society and fears of Hindus bringing their hugely inequal and socially immobile caste system with them when coming to Europe. Some extremists even feared that "Europeans would be forcibly attributed a caste" or that Europeans were going to belong to "the untouchables or be ranked even below those". And from these fears stems the decisions made in July 2015 of Serzh Sargsyan and Silvio Berlusconi to close off, with the help of fences, their land borders to the Ottoman Empire and Iran in the case of the former and to Yugoslavia (and, so it is planned, also to the German Empire) in the case of the latter.
In the eyes of Vojislav Seselj, sharing this opinion with many Yugoslavian citizens, this closing off of borders for desperate Indian, Tamil, Hyderabad, Rajasthani, Kashmiri, Khalistani or Balochi refugees led to a humanitarian crisis unfolding on the coast of Armenia just as brutally as on the Yerevan main station, where the trains full of refugees from the Ottoman Empire were carried to routinely as long as the border was still open. The same humanitarian crisis was unfolding in the Alpine mountains and on the Milan main station when Silvio Berlusconi's regime mistreated desperate refugees by beating people up, putting armed riot police units against them, not caring for the ill, children and the infirm among the refugees, and doing similar things to
de facto autocrat Serzh Sargsyan was doing in Yerevan main station.
And so, at the beginning of September, heeding to their mottos of "We will manage!", dozens of special trains were sent allowing refugees into both France and Yugoslavia, where they still were very much welcomed. Nevertheless, increasing
EPCIDO demonstrations, having started in late 2014 under the leadership of Vincent Fouret against the policies of Rachida Dati in general which were percieved as too euro- and internationally friendly, in France were worrying the general public, but also attracting more and more nationalist right-wing supporters under the label of
citoyens soucieux (concerned citizens).
Serzh Sargsyan, one of the two de facto autocrats (the other being Silvio Berlusconi) who decided they were not going to treat the Indian refugees humanely, but instead degraded them and robbed them of most human rights
The
EPCIDO (Européens Patriotiques contre l'Islamisation de l'Orient) movement was steadily growing, as were the numbers of refugees coming into Yugoslavia and France. The CAS, the Brittany-specific section of the DCA in France, increasingly demanded a
plafond, a definite and legally binding upper limit to the number of refugees coming into France, as did the Orthodox Democratic People's Party in Yugoslavia.
Until "Welcome culture" and the preparedness to put up with ever higher number of refugees were significantly shattered on November 13, 2015, with one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in Europe ever. It was a lot of water under the bridge for the CAS, the ODPP and, to the chagrin of most Europeans, also EPCIDO.
Weeks prior to this, CAIA had already managed to down an American civilian airliner by smuggling a bomb on board on its way from the holiday resorts of Southern California home to Boston. The airliner was downed very soon, killing all 224 on board, most of them of American nationality, in the Montezuman deserts.
10 miles to the north-east of the crash site, on the northern border of Montezuma. The actual crash site is still off-limits to journalists.
The airliner downed by the CAIA-planted bomb in the deserts of Montezuma, killing 224 American people.
Despite the death toll being lower, the terrorist attack on November 13, 2015 was much more important to the media and much more shocking to the people as it did not hit Americans (who many Europeans disliked anyway for their corruption and their autocratic, bordering on totalitarian, ruler Mitt Romney), but Europeans themselves. On this fateful evening, a friendly between Germany and The Ottoman Empire was scheduled in Berlin, and, during the first half of the game, reports of shootings and suicide bombers were coming in. It was reported that CAIA suicide bombers had attempted to get into the stadium, which was luckilly averted. Nevertheless, at least 130 people died in the streets and cafés of Berlin, of whom at least 90 died during a concert in Berlin in the
Othello concert hall, performed by the band "Eagles of Death Metal", which CAIA suicide bomber-shooter terrorists had stormed.
And so, the year was to end with a new wave of terror...
