- Although
the European Union successfully bribed Turkish President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan last year -- inducing him to slow the flow of
migrants heading through Turkey into Greece -- Italy has
received almost 100,000 people so far this year.
- This
summer, even more than in previous years, it has become plain
that some of the NGOs working in the Mediterranean are acting
as something more than intermediaries. Many have in fact been
acting as facilitators. This makes the NGOs effectively no
more than the benign face of the smuggling networks.
Undercover workers have also discovered NGOs handing vessels
back to the smugglers' networks, effectively helping them to
continue their criminal enterprise indefinitely.
- A
group that which seeks to oppose Europe's current
self-destructive insane trajectory can now not even source
independent financial support. Groups, however, that continue
to push Europe along its current trajectory continue to get
all the official support they need. In the difference in
reaction to these two groups lies a significant part of the
story of the ruin of a continent.
Some NGOs
that work to pick up migrants from boats in the Mediterranean and
transport them to Europe have been discovered handing vessels back
to smuggler networks, helping their criminal enterprise. Pictured:

alight by the crews of Phoenix, a vessel operated by the
"Migrant Offshore Aid Station" (MOAS) NGO, after all
passengers were evacuated, on May 18, 2017 MOAS's protocol of
torching the smuggling boats after debarkation prevents smugglers
from reusing the vessel. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)
Sometimes it is in the gap between things that the
truth emerges.
In recent years Europe has been on the receiving end
of one of the most significant migrant crises in history. In 2015,
in just a single year, countries such as Germany and Sweden found
themselves adding 2% to their respective populations. Although much
of the public continue to labour under the misapprehension that
those still coming are fleeing the Syrian civil war; in fact, the
majority of those now entering Europe are from Africa, particularly
from sub-Saharan Africa.
