RECOMMENDED READS: SOEREN KERN'S "ITALY: SALVINI OUT, MIGRANTS IN".

Very unfortunately, Salvini apparently shot himself in the foot and this is the result, via The Gatestone Institute:


"Italy's new government, which has pledged to reverse former Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's hardline approach to migration policy, appears to have triggered a new wave of mass migration from northern Africa.

More than 1,400 migrants reached Italian shores since the new government took office on September 5, according to data compiled by the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

During just the past several weeks, the number of migrant arrivals to Italy has increased incrementally: 59 migrants arrived on September 6; 67 arrived on September 9; 121 arrived on September 14; 259 arrived on September 15; 275 arrived on September 18; and 475 arrived between September 19 and September 25, according to the IOM. Overall, the number of migrant arrivals in September 2019 is up by more than 100% over the number of arrivals in September 2018.





Many of the new arrivals are reaching Italy by using new people-smuggling routes that originate in Turkey. In recent weeks, at least five migrant boats have landed in Calabria, in the far south of Italy. On September 21, for instance, 58 migrants, all Pakistani males, reached the Calabrian port of Crotone.

People-smuggling mafias are also using new routes in the Southern Mediterranean to move people to Italy from sub-Saharan Africa. In recent weeks, criminal groups have used small boats to transport migrants from Libya to Tunisia, from where the crossing to Lampedusa, Italy's southern-most island, is shorter and less risky. On September 20, for example, 92 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa — Gambia, Ivory Coast, Mali and Senegal — reached Lampedusa.

At the same time, Italy's new government also appears to be taking a more lenient approach to the migrant rescue ships operated by European charities, which have been accused of coordinating with people-smuggling mafias to pick up migrants off the coast of Libya and transport them to Italian ports.

On September 14, the Italian government authorized the Norwegian-flagged Ocean Viking, operated by the French charities SOS Méditerranée and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), to dock at Lampedusa, where 82 migrants picked up off the coast of Libya were allowed to disembark.

On September 24, the Italian government allowed the Ocean Viking, this time carrying 182 migrants, to dock at the Sicilian port of Messina.

Whereas Salvini had banned migrant rescue ships from docking at Italian ports, the new government's more lenient approach appears also to be encouraging European non-governmental organizations (NGOs). On September 23, the Spanish NGO Open Arms announced that it would resume migrant rescues on board a vessel called Astral.

In August, Open Arms and its rescue ship of the same name were involved in a three-week stand-off with the Italian government, which refused to allow the vessel to dock in Italian ports. After more than a dozen migrants jumped overboard and tried to swim to shore, Sicilian prosecutor Luigi Patronaggio on August 20 ordered the Open Arms, anchored one kilometer off Lampedusa, to dock in Sicily so that its passengers could disembark. Subsequent video footage showed that Open Arms staged the jumps to manipulate public opinion. Italian authorities later impounded the ship...."






The crux of the matter is that both North America and Western Europe are litterally under assault from the Third World. The reasons for this are twofold:


a.) First, there is a potential for migration because a considerable number of nations have FAILED as states, and failed miserably. It's not about war, and in the cases that there is, the reasons for that are the same reasons why the nations failed in the first place.

b.) Second, I have always considered myself an opponent of conspiration theories, but the events of the past 4 years are forcing me to reconsider that opinion. There are mechanisms behind (the facilitation of) migration flows. Perhaps it's not centralized. But there are... instigators, facilitators, financiers, and yes, ideologues... behind the stampede of Third World flotsam direction The West.



Western politicians who want to save their countries and indeed, Western Civilization itself, must dare to call out the utter failure of Third World countries to provide their citizens with the basics for what it is. The misery there is NOT the West's faults but rooted in their cultures and/or marxist/socialist ideologies. No more grovelling in the sand and weeping for 'the evils of colonialism'. Instead politicians must have the courage to say to the bozos running Mali, for instance: "Hey you there, YOU-ARE-FUCKING-UP!!!"

And at home, those same politicians must also start to confront the Open Borders lunatics among us FAR-MORE-AGGRESSIVELY. And I am sorry - I really am - that I feel I have to add "if necessary, with violence".



Western Civilization is far too important to squander it on the altar of insane multiculturalism and have it destroyed by the same attitudes and policies that caused the countries the 'refugees' are fleeing... to turn into shitholes in the first place.

RECOMMENDED READS: JUDITH BERGMAN'S "SWEDEN SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL."

Harrowing stories from Sweden, via The Gatestone Institute:


"Löfven, you have lost control of Sweden," the leader of the largest opposition party, the center-right Moderate Party, Ulf Kristersson, recently wrote in an article in the daily newspaper Aftonbladet, in which he criticized Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven for failing to solve some of Sweden's biggest problems. According to Kristersson:

~ "Two areas that we [the Moderate Party] highly prioritize are law and order and integration. Because Sweden's biggest problems are there now.

~ "Last year, 306 shootings occurred and 45 people were shot dead. According to the police, the number of people killed has doubled since 2014. During the same period, the number of people who have been subjected to sexual abuse has tripled according to BRÅ [the Swedish Crime Prevention Council]...


....


One of the realities, according to the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) -- the state authority for community protection and preparedness -- is that terrorism is now a threat everywhere in Sweden, and therefore even smaller municipalities need to be prepared for terrorist acts to occur.

"First of all," said Jonas Eriksson, who is responsible for security in the public environment at MSB, "you have to be aware that this can happen in smaller cities... Then you have to think about what is in the municipality that can be vulnerable and sensitive." The statement came after police intercepted a potential terrorist act in the city of Östersund in August. The suspect was trying to drive into a crowd and run people over, according to Aftonbladet. He is also being investigated for links to Rakhmat Akilov, a terrorist who was convicted of killing five people by plowing a truck into a department store in central Stockholm in April 2017.





From the beginning of 2019 to the end of July, there were 120 bombings in Sweden, according to police statistics. The figure represents an increase of 45% over the same period last year, when 83 bombings took place. The south of Sweden has been particularly badly hit, with 44 bombings. "At present, one can only really speculate on the reasons why. We have an increased problem with crime and exclusion," said Petra Stenkula, chief investigator at Police Region south. "It is possible that the supply of dynamite is good, whereas the supply is somewhat more limited when it comes to weapons today compared to before."

In the southern Swedish city of Landskrona alone -- a place of roughly 35,000 inhabitants -- since December 2018, there have been seven explosions or bombings. In August, the entrance to Landskrona's city hall was blown up.

In August, another city in the south of Sweden, Linköping, experienced its second blast this year. Police found an object that they suspected was explosives. When it was destroyed by the national bomb protection squad, a powerful explosion occurred. It destroyed a police storehouse and damaged several other buildings. In early June, also in Linköping, an explosion blasted through a residential building. Miraculously, no one was killed, but 20 people were wounded. The police suspect that the incident was gang-related..."



Some firsthand info from Peter:

















Meanwhile, the sole Swede the world is paying attention to is a 16-year old girl with Asperger, who will forever stay small because of a self-imposed hunger diet, and who by now must be seriously lagging behind in basic education because of all that school skipping. Yet she has the ear of throngs of gullible heads of states and their lackeys. She claims the world is burning because of "climate change"... while in reality it's beginning to look more and more that it's her country that's burning.
