Via GEFIRA,
The rule of law is often invoked by as a Western value that populist movements want to destroy, yet
the establishments own governments have long suspended that very same rule of law when it comes
to immigration. The most evident example of this is the immigration policy started by the Italian Letta
government in 2013 and continued since then under the Renzi government.
In October 2013, the Letta government, facing waves of refugees escaping the chaos of Western backed-Arab
Spring in Libya, which later transpired as nothing more than insurgencies of Islamic radical groups, launched
the operation Mare Nostrum or Our Sea, which consisted in the use of the Italian navy near Libyan waters
to rescue asylum seekers from the African coast.
As noble as its motivation may be, a side effect of the operation was to encourage even more people to
undertake sea travel because now they are certain that the Italian navy will rescue them. The result was a
224% increase in the number of boats leaving Libya, which translates into an average of almost 10 million
euro a month for the Italian government.
In November 2014 Mare Nostrum was replaced with the EU-coordinated and funded Triton, covering a smaller
part of the Mediterranean at the cost of 3 million euro a month. The official reason for the Triton operation is
to control borders, however once we look at facts the goal of the operation is simply to bring in as many
people as possible, regardless of whether they are refugees, economic migrants, legals or illegals. Since then,
smuggling channels instead of being stopped have multiplied.
An established practice since the Mare Nostrum operation, continued under Triton, was for smugglers to
launch a rescue signal to the patrolling navy and request assistance. In the meanwhile, NGOs pursuing the
open borders have joined forces with them, assisting anyone, legal, illegal, refugee, who wants to reach
Europe.
The European Commission that is responsible for Frontex, and what follows border controls, has a clear
opinion on the matter. Commissioner for Home Affairs, Migration and Citizenship Dimitris
Avramopoulos said: Another important element that emerged strongly from the discussions on countering
smuggling is that NGOs and local and regional authorities which provide assistance to smuggled migrants
shall not be criminalised. I fully agree with this, of course, as I also agree on the need to protect the
fundamental rights of those who are being smuggled. Those who we need to punish are the smugglers!
Punishing the smugglers, unless they are part of NGOs, meaning the problem cant and wont be solved,
because NGOs will always be free to smuggle migrants. This continues a well established tradition; during
the Monti government in 2011-12 a Ministry for Immigration was created and given to Andrea Riccardi of
the Comunit of SantEgidio, the prominent Italian open borders NGO. Comunit of SantEgidio runs
projects such as Humanitarian corridors. The project funds an alternative route to bring people into Italy.
Andrea Riccardi told the French media that he is convinced that Europe must open its borders. The Ministry
was then given to Cecile Kyenge, a black woman born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, who set
herself a task of drastically reducing the requirements for acquiring Italian citizenship. She proposes a law
that would give citizenship to the children of immigrants if they are born on Italian soil. Under Renzi, the
ministry was reduced to a department within the ministry for Home Affairs, and handed to Mario
Morcone, again affiliated with the Comunit di SantEgidio.
But what happens once migrants of all kinds reach Italian soil? They are sent to refugee centers, where they
can apply for the status of refugees. It should be noted that Italy has long run out of places for asylum
seekers, and so the government is paying hotels, hostels or citizens in general to take in people.
Here a common practice for those who know that their application will be rejected is to destroy their
documents beforehand so that the time to identify them increases exponentially. Experience has shown that
centers eventually become overcrowded, which turns out to be an occasion for migrants to riot, destroy
properties and finally escape and become illegals. If they do not escape and their application is rejected, they
are expelled. Expulsion however is voluntary and data shows that approximately only 50% of expelled
migrants actually leave, probably to an other EU-Schengen country, the rest become illegals as well.
Moreover, as the Mafia Capitale scandal has shown, a collusion between members of the ruling
Democratic Party controlling immigration-related institutions within the Italian state, including refugee
centres, NGOs and the organized crime ensures that migrants are employed at the expense of Italian
taxpayers and for insignificant hourly rates ensuring massive illegal profits for the racketeers. An infamous
quote of a member of organized crime reveals how immigration is now a more profitable business than
drug trafficking.
Do you have any idea how much I make on these immigrants? Salvatore Buzzi, a mafia affiliate says in a
1,200-page wiretap from early 2013. Drug trafficking is not as profitable. We closed this year with a
turnover of 40 million but our profits all came from the gypsies (Roma people),on the housing emergency
and on the immigrants, Buzzi said. That was in 2013, when 20.000 immigrants arrived in Italy. In 2016,
180.000 immigrants arrived in Italy.
Corrupt politicians like Giuseppe Castiglione (NCD, partner of the ruling Democratic party), working for the
Home Office, with the official mission of favouring the integration of those in need of international
protection in reality work to ensure profiteering from the crisis.
Illegal activities range from all levels; starting with the assignation of the construction of refugee centers to
Democrat-related cooperatives in exchange for bribes; asylum seekers and illegals are then transferred to the
Italian countryside and employed in the agricultural sector for an hourly rate between 1 and 3 euro.
When it comes to women, immigrants themselves organize prostitution rings within the refugee centers or
sell them to work in the Italian streets.
Immigration, a tale of willingly lax enforcement of rule of law, smuggling, dishonesty, slavery and
destroying Europe.

close the border with italy. let her become african. italians are gypsy looking anyway. so they are
almost like those africans anyway.
which Israel? as countries go, there is practically none that is as complex as Israel
It's the Israel that is "Is-real?" that you seek. That's the true spelling (including the question
mark).
...Christian compassion
one of the more important drivers in this migrant/refugee drama
outside of Italy, Germany and France, but also outside the whole North of Europe minus the UK a
lot of ink is being spilled running around this core theme, never touching it
it seems it's too difficult for people used to a different view on Christianity to see the facet of
compassion as a virtue that drives the european Continent, particularly it's core
the Parable of the Good Samaritan comes to mind
as a reminder, the Samaritans were the terrorists of the times Jesus lived in

Taking the high road often has high costs.
While some may question the political bend to this, there is a HUGE financial cost to all of this,
as well as an incalculable human cost.
that Samaritan choose to include someone that was for sure not his neighbour in the common
sense of the word. in a world where a Samaritan could not live near Jews, nor a Jew near
Samaritans
that Samaritan choose to include that Jew in his definition of "who is your neighbour"
his choice. his deed of compassion beyond the standards of the times
and our choice of listening to our version of the Parable... and one that grates, eh?
But before you send out the invitation consider this: is not the 18 year old gang raped and
impregnated at Cologne also your neighbour? What will you do for her?
gone, the website has changed hands, and the new ZH is all about clicks, clicks, clicks, and
sensationalism based on political/doom/etc. news. Finance/economy has taken a backseat.
Not sure about other commoners who are not in finance, but I personally don't have any fvcks
to give about the markets, etc.. I do keep an eye out for the price of Au and Ag, but that's about
it. The whole damn thing is so fake, it's hard to care. Chart porn doesn't do it for me anymore.
Plus, everyone knows the real action in ZH happens in the comments. That's where links are
shared, eyes are opened...
MAMA MIA!
BACON IS AWESOME!!!
