The number of migrant sea arrivals in populist Italy, so far in 2018, is down 80 percent compared to last year, whilst surging by over 350 percent in the same period in socialist Spain.

In Ceuta, this was the scene described in the Daily Mail as migrants stormed in: They scrambled over ‘all of a sudden, with much violence,’ and some attacked police with quicklime they had in tubes and bottles. As a result, ‘more than a dozen police’ were injured with the substance, four of whom had to go to the hospital for burns to their faces and arms. Some of the migrants scaling the fences threw feces at police officers trying to hold them back

How likely are these migrants likely to “integrate” into Spain?

The Daily Star reported in February that Ceuta is now a slum that “is breeding ground for ISIS terrorists.” Spain’s Foreign Minister, however, has denied that his country is experiencing mass migration. He said: “We need new blood.”

Meanwhile, in nearby Italy, Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini vowed: “I promised to defend the borders and I am doing it with all my energy and all the means at my disposal.”

“Boat Migrants Down 80 Percent in Populist Italy, up 350 Percent in Socialist Spain,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, August 1, 2018:

The number of migrant sea arrivals in populist Italy, so far in 2018, is down 80 percent compared to last year, whilst surging by over 350 percent in the same period in socialist Spain.

Over 57,500 illegal migrants and asylum seekers have arrived in Europe by sea so far this year, compared to 112,375 over the same period last year, the UN Migration Agency said in a paper Tuesday.

And as the number of clandestine crossings fell, deaths in the Mediterranean Sea more than halved, falling from 2,240 to 1,111.

The significant fall is likely to be partly thanks to Italy’s new, populist government, which is fighting to end illegal crossings and to protect their borders. There were just 18,392 migrants arriving in Italy so far this year, 80.6 percent less than the same period last year.

However, Spain, which has a new socialist government, has become the new main arrival-by-sea country in the Mediterranean. More than 22,800 migrants have arrived there since the beginning of the year, with 1,866 since the 25th of July alone…..

Said Erdogan: “You cannot make Turkey take a step back with sanctions. They need to know the following: we are not tied with an umbilical cord to the U.S.”

Good. Rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey has not been a reliable ally of the United States for some time, and it is foolish to pretend otherwise. This sham alliance, and others as well, should be ended.



“US Slaps Sanctions on 2 Turkish Political Leaders Over Andrew Brunson’s Detention,” by Samuel Smith, Christian Post, August 2, 2018:


The Trump administration followed through on its threats to take action against Turkey over the detention of American Pastor Andrew Brunson by sanctioning two top government officials on Wednesday.

The U.S. Department of the Teasury’s [sic] Office of Foreign Assets Control announced that it has sanctioned Turkey’s Minister of Justice Abdulhamit Gul and Minister of Interior Suleyman Soylu, both of whom lead agencies that are responsible for the arrest and imprisonment of the 50-year-old North Carolina native.

“Pastor Brunson’s unjust detention and continued prosecution by Turkish officials is simply unacceptable,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement. “President [Donald] Trump has made it abundantly clear that the United States expects Turkey to release him immediately.”

The sanctions come after Vice President Mike Pence and Trump vowed last week that they would slap “significant” and “large” sanctions on its NATO ally over Brunson’s detention. Pence made the promise during his keynote speech last Thursday at the State Department’s Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, a day after Brunson was released to house arrest after over a year-and-a-half in prison….

Brunson appealed to a Turkish court this week to be released from his home detention. However, his appeal was rejected on Tuesday.

Brunson, who has served as a church leader in Izmir for over two decades, was accused of having connections to an Islamic organization blamed for the 2016 coup attempt against the Erdogan government and was also accused of having connections to Kurdish militants. He has denied all charges. Many feel that he is being used as a political pawn to pressure the U.S. government to extradite Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen.

“We’ve seen no evidence that Pastor Brunson has done anything wrong and we believe he is a victim of unfair and unjust [detention] by the government of Turkey,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said on Wednesday. “As a result, any property or interest in property of both ministers within U.S. jurisdiction is blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.”

The sanctions against Gul and Soylu are pursuant to the executive order issued last December by Trump which states that “serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.”…

The Turkish government has claimed that it cannot intervene in Brunson’s case because it is being handled by the judicial system. Brunson has had three hearings so far in which only questionable secret witness testimony has been presented against him. His next court hearing is in October….

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom lists Turkey as a “Tier 2” country of concern for religious liberty.

“In 2017, the state of religious freedom in Turkey worsened. Proposed changes in the educational curriculum, an increase in government funding solely for Sunni mosques, and a lack of movement with respect to legal status and registration for non-Muslim communities have led Turkey on a downward trend,” a 2018 USCIRF report states, adding that the nation’s strict secularization prevents religious communities from obtaining full legal status.

“The majority of the other longstanding religious freedom concerns remain unresolved, including the return of expropriated minority properties, the delay in providing dual citizenship to Greek Orthodox Metropolitans so they can participate in the church’s Holy Synod, and equal funding for religious minority community buildings from the public budget.”

Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned the U.S. on Sunday that it risks losing a “strong and sincere partner” if it continues pressuring it over Brunson.

“You cannot make Turkey take a step back with sanctions,” Erdogan declared. “They need to know the following: we are not tied with an umbilical cord to the U.S.”

On Wednesday, he claimed that “Turkey has no problems related to [religious] minorities.”

“Threatening language of the U.S. evangelist, Zionist mentality is unacceptable,” Erdogan told reporters. “We will continue on the path we believe in without the slightest concession to our freedom, sovereignty, or judicial independence.”

Watch this video. The treatment of Tommy Robinson in prison was unconscionable, and consistent with the British government’s determination to crush all resistance to its program of mass Muslim migration and capitulation to Sharia supremacists. The treatment of Tommy Robinson in prison was police state tactics. Meanwhile, the establishment media defames him as “far-right” and as a “white nationalist.” Will the free British people go quietly into the night?



“EXCLUSIVE: Tommy Robinson tells Ezra Levant about prison treatment, thanks supporters,” by Ezra Levant, Rebel Media, August 2, 2018:


After Tommy Robinson’s release from prison yesterday, I travelled from London to Luton to congratulate Tommy in person.

It was glorious to see him reunited with his beautiful wife and three lovely children. Those kids — who missed their dad so painfully — had smiles on their faces that I will never forget.

Tommy invited me to join the family for dinner, but I didn’t want to intrude in their private time. But I did ask him to sit down with me for ten minutes, to tell the world how he was doing.

And as I listened, my joy turned to sorrow, and then to rage.

Because Tommy was physically and psychologically abused in prison.

You can see it in his face. His appearance is shocking — he lost 40 pounds of weight in just two months.

If he were to have stayed in prison much longer, I fear his very life would have been in danger….


“‘I’m not a victim, I’m a target’: Ex-EDL leader Tommy Robinson breaks silence to say he suffered ‘mental torture’ in prison after 13-month jail term is quashed – as he reveals he will join family for Tenerife holiday,” by Martin Robinson and Iain Burns, Mailonline, August 2, 2018 (thanks to Harry):


Tommy Robinson is heading off to Tenerife for a fortnight with his family after being freed from jail and told his supporters: ‘I’m not their victim, I’m their target’.

Robinson left jail yesterday after winning an appeal over his 13-month contempt sentence for filming a Facebook Live video outside a trial of an alleged Asian sex gang.

He refused to speak as he walked out of HMP Onley in Northamptonshire yesterday but later posted a video on YouTube of his return home and being reunited with his three children.

He said: ‘A year ago I booked a holiday with my family for two weeks in Tenerife. We go on holiday on Friday in 24 hours. I didn’t expect to come home today’.

Yesterday judges freed him after ruling it was ‘unfair’ to give him 13 months in prison during a ‘muddled’ and ‘rushed’ court case held just five hours after his arrest.

He had confronted suspects being prosecuted in trials involving dozens of Asian men accused of grooming children as young as 11.

Robinson broadcast these exchanges to 250,000 people watching him on Facebook Live and even captured the moment police arrested him.

The 35-year-old far-right activist – who became a public figure after co-founding the English Defence League – said last night: ‘What they tried to do was to mentally destroy me. That wasn’t a prison sentence, that was mental torture If I was bitter and angry I would accept my own victimhood. I’m not their victim, I’m their target.’

Robinson also thanked his supporters around the world, including UKIP leader Gerard Batten.

He had been behind bars for two months after confronting defendants outside Leeds Crown Court on May 25….
