Italy is doomed to go the way of Germany and Sweden unless it finds a solution quickly to its sudden migrant “invasion” problem, before even more arrive:
The exodus from Libya to the Italian coast has continuing unabated with no visible action on the part of the Italian government or the European Union to halt it.
The Islamic State has expressed its plan to “conquer Rome” as central to its mission to “defeat Christianity.” An Islamic State video also warned that “Libya could be used as a springboard for attacks” in Italy. More problematic for Italy is that Libyan president Fayez al-Sarraj has been refusing to take back his own people who are sent back.
In April, Italy faced a similar crisis of migrants flooding in, and sent 6,242 migrants back home to North African countries.
“State of ‘Collapse’: Italy Overwhelmed as 13,500 African Migrants Arrive in Past Two Days”, by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, June 27, 2017:
Italy’s migrant welcome centers are in a state of “collapse” as huge waves of African migrants take advantage of the temperate climate to make the crossing from Libya to the Italian peninsula.
On Tuesday, 8,500 African migrants are reaching Italian shores aboard 14 different ships, adding to the 5,000 who arrived on Monday. The massive arrivals have led local media as well as politicians to speak of an authentic immigrant “invasion” exceeding the country’s capacity of assimilation.
Officials reported on June 15 that more than 65,000 migrants had arrived since the beginning of the year, but that was prior to the latest influx. Figures for the year now stand at 73,380 migrants into Italy, or a rise of 14.42 percent over the same period in 2016, when then-record arrivals had reached 64,133.
The exodus from Libya to the Italian coast has continuing unabated with no visible action on the part of the Italian government or the European Union to halt it.”…
The head of Italy’s Northern League party, Matteo Salvini, expressed his exasperation in a tweet to his followers, noting that Tuesday’s arrival of 8,500 illegal immigrants onto Italian soil was “fucking enough.”

Everyone involved, from the EU officials to suicidal socialist left should be swinging for this. Within 2 generations or less, this will be the absolute ruin of the European continent.
For those of you who say, “They deserve this!”, you’re wrong. Yes, maybe the left/socialist/carl marx humpers do, but there’re good people there, like you and me, who’re out numbered and boxed in.
I sure hope they make it out before the fall. What a civil war it will be!

There are whole flotillas of ships cruising the Southern Mediterranean right up to the Libyan shoreline picking these ” refugees” up and bringing them back to Europe.
” rescue a refugee” organisations are spending millions of Euros chartering ships to go out and pick these people up.
You keep picking them up AND THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP COMING.
Anne Smith says
The EU flotilla of ships should actually be intercepting these “refugee” boats (they are not refugees but economic migrants) and returning them to Libya or wherever they came from.
The Australians sorted it pretty well and no no-one tries to go to Aussie via “refugee” boats.
The 40 million Aussie dollars it cost in UN fines to put their so-called refugees on that remote island was well worth it and, in the long run, cheap at the price.
If only our European leaders had some guts to do the same thing.
Glyn Davies says
Some of those passive invaders who were stuck on that Tropical Island North of Australia are now suing the Australian Government for millions for being kept too long…Damn IT…we want a 2 year break on some Tropical Island with all food and accomadation with a hefty pay check at the end of our ordeal
ninetyninepct says
UN fines?? tell the UN to get stuffed.
Westman says
We watched a “documentary” on PBS last evening of desperate and suffering Muslim immigrants being rescued with all the camera work around women and children. Of course, we knew that 80% of the immigrants are actually “men” who could have fought to keep those women and children safe, yet placed their own safety and opportunity first.
It’s easily understood when one realizes that Islam places women and children in the status of possessions – which can be replaced in the new land – and also prohibits fealty to a not-properly-Muslim government.
Somehow, the Muslim male supremacism escapes the feminists who welcome it with open arms. It also escapes Pope Francis who may someday watch a Muslim beat a statue of Mary into pieces in the Allah-dedicated Vatican Mosque and see those “offensive” images wiped off the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
The “superior” culture comes to Italy, to bury it, not to praise it.

It isn’t hard to guess what the “refugees” want from this.
However, what is the endgame from the point of view of the enablers and puppet masters? What do they get from destroying Europe?
Phil Copson says
“What do they get from destroying Europe?”
As the first European country destined to go “full Islam”, it is only fitting that that we let the Swedes answer this one: In the words of the song: “Money, money, money – it’s a rich man’s world…..”
gravenimage says
I don’t think the Swedes are making any money off the Muslim invasion–in fact, it is bleeding Sweden dry.
Vekafitzfrancis says
That’s Phil’s point.
Phil Copson says
Hi GI – misunderstanding here: “Anonymous’s” question was “What do the enablers and puppet masters get out of destroying Europe ?” in answer to which I quoted the words of “Money money money” by Swedish pop-group “Abba” – I wasn’t saying that the Swedish people themselves were benefitting.
European politicians are obsessed with the idea of being involved in “un grand projet” such as the EU, mass migration etc, because it works on so many levels for them; with one bound they are free of petty, everyday concerns such as actually making things work and being held accountable if they fail. Once “projectitis” takes hold, they step into a parallel make-believe universe in which they slip gratefully into the warm waters of mutually-supportive “group-think”, rub shoulders with “world leaders”, and fantasise that they control the levers of destiny.
The reality that their powers don’t actually extend the half-mile from EU headquarters into the Islamic enclave of Molenbeek, or that the all-woman Swedish cabinet couldn’t safely stroll around Malmo doesn’t worry them at all, as long as they can pocket large sums of money, jet around holding irrelevant “summit meetings” with each other, and keep up the pretence that they are in charge of the tiger they are riding.
“Yes, yes” they say impatiently, “I’m sure we’re all very sorry about your grand-daughter being blown-up at a pop-concert, but if you will insist on being an out-of-fashion white, working-class, Northerner, instead of being a fully-Eurocentric metrosexual member of the political classes like me, then you’ll just have to learn to put up with this kind of thing, won’t you ? Here, have a free TV licence to make up for it…”
(Ok, they may not say it, but there are times when I feel sure that they think it….)
gravenimage says
Thanks for the reply, Phil.
I agree with you that wealth can shelter these people to a point–but many of them are apt to start falling victim to Islam, as well.
Winston says
Italian newspapers I have read report that the mayor of Rome has stated that his city cannot absorb any more immigrants. The house is full. When they flee Lybia these virile young men, only one in ten is a female, are picked up close to the Libyan coast by so called rescue boats and transported to Europe. Numbers to date are up more than 30% on 2016.

There must be room for nearly 1000 refugee tents in St. Peter’s Square, the large plaza located directly in front of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City. 320 meters long and 240 meters wide, it has held more than 300,000 people at times. I’m sure the Pope would be only too happy to take in his share.

There are laws against helping illegal immigration. Just put the NGO idiots that pick the african migrants in jail.

You wanted to see the Coliseum? Symbol of a civilization that is no longer? Go soon, because Italy will become a once-great civilization if the Muslim migration continues.

A European says
If these illegal immigrants embark on ships which are not seaworthy, these ships might sink. They run the risk of drowning in the sea, but it is their decision, we are not responsible for them, because we did not invite them to come to Europe. And it is not our duty to send the coastguard to go in search of illegal African immigrants in makeshift boats. If we continue acting like that, we are accomplices of human traffickers and we succumb to emotional and moral blackmail. If Europe wants to live in peace, if it wishes to preserve its culture, if it desires to be free from tyranny, it must stop illegal Immigration now. Lives will be lost, but this is for the greater good.

State of “collapse”: Italy overwhelmed as 13,500 African migrants arrive in past two days

Phil Copson says
“what does the World expect the West to do, move out and let them have our homelands?”
Er….yes. That is, they don’t particularly mind whether the white people move out or die out, but if something is there for the taking, they will naturally take it, especially when it’s offered to them on a plate. Why wouldn’t they ?
If a dog doesn’t defend it’s bone, a bigger dog will take it.
Mark Swan says
They may not expect to get it all, but they will take what they can get.
I watched a documentary, where three female lions and their cubs, were assailed
by a pack of hyenas, with a particularly aggressive leader, they troubled these
lionesses for a few days and nights. Until out of no-where came a powerful
male lion, he ran the hyenas’ leader down, grabbed and crushed its neck, like
a toy. He stopped, stood poised with this great beasts in his jaws by the neck,
he growled such a powerful warning, as only he could sound.
We do not know, yet, what trouble we have brought upon our people,
but we will consider this soon enough.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Mark and Phil. We need to take a stand and defend our civilized societies!
Baucent says
Simple solution is turn the boats back. Tow them back to Libya every time. Eventually the migrants and the criminal gangs who profit would learn the game is up. That’s what Australia did and defeated the smugglers. But that requires political will and backbone that the Italian government does not have. Until the Italian public are on the streets demanding action the politicians will do nothing to stop the boats.
Anne Smith says
One brave Italian Coast guard did that a couple of years ago.
Unfortunately he was sacked. They should have put him in charge of the whole navy.
WPM says
Tow the boats back then empty the refugees back on the shores they came from the sink the boats at sea. After awhile either the smugglers have no boats or anyone willing o risk their boat to smuggle refugees.
Mark Swan says
Yes WPM that should work.

In the Bible, the masses of humanity are represented by bodies of water…”seas” and “many waters.” Governments are represented by mountains and stable mankind by the “earth.”
Jesus gave us information that is directly applicable to what is happening. He said that there would be, “Anguish of nations…and they would not know the way out” and this would be because of the “roaring of the sea and its agitation.” (Luke 21)
Revelation 13 says that the “wild beast” rises out of the “sea.”
The problems that the nations such as Germany, Sweden, and Italy (and others) are having with this great influx of “restless seas” was foretold in the Bible. By Christ.
And we can see it being fulfilled with our own eyes.
Lydia says
Thank you Robert! ( :
I just want to say thank you again to Robert Spencer for posting all of this vital information on a regular basis. We are not getting the truth on the news. I know people who live in Germany and Italy and also who travel there and I share this information with them and tell all I know so that people can be careful. I want to thank you for sharing the truth and for putting your life on the line in order to do so. Sometimes that is what true journalism calls for and in addition to that are all those who fight against the truth getting out from different areas of life. I’m also grateful for a true freedom of speech platform like we have on here.
Again, thank you!
May God keep you safe.

You are just making wild accusations against the West by saying that those black Africans would come to Europe, because the West had deprived them of their ressources. Do you have proof of that? Where are the facts? Can you demonstrate the veracity of your assertions? I think, you can’t! You are talking about missionaries who allegedly had turned a blind eye to slavery, but, if those things had happened, they occurred a long time ago. We don’t live in the 19th century. Why do all those Black Africans not go to a neighboring country in Africa? There are prosperous African countries: Tunesia, Morocco, Egypt, Ghana, Gabon, Nigeria, Namibia, South Africa, Kenya, Gambia, the Seychelles, Senegal… It would be a shorter journey, and a much less perilious one. They would enter an African country, they could assimilate easily, because their culture is much the same as the culture of their host country, they could find a job there and a trip back to their relatives in their native countries would be less expensive,too. So, why do they run the risk of drowning in the Mediterranean Sea, instead of going to another African country?
Kim Bruce says
What Italy should do is just pack as many as they can on the largest transport plane they can get, fly to southern Libya and drop them off in the desert…no parachutes…just fly close to the ground and shove them all out. By time they walk back to northern Libya they’ll be to tired to try the crossing again.

As for ISIS and their claims of wanting to conquer Rome and thus ‘conquering Christianity’ – I seriously doubt we’d find too many Christians around the planet who would see that occur and think ‘Oh well, Christianity is toast now..’ Idiots. They’ve inhaled way too many sand particles if they think that’s the deciding factor. Although I’ll bet the Italians in Rome won’t be too pleased, understandably.
As for Italy being overwhelmed – I’m feeling rather exasperated. Greedy cowards. Look Italy – here’s the thing. You want to remain in the EU, you want all the myriad of benefits that come with EU membership. But part of EU membership means you are beholden to the EU’s rules – and you also are beholden to being effectively owned by the far richer, far more powerful State’s that belong to the EU and who are very happy to let Italy take the brunt with all of this, to better protect them.
So. You have a couple of options. Grab those ankles and start learning how to enjoy what you’re getting from the EU, both in terms of the benefits and the consequences in how they own you and control you.
Or ditch the EU, rediscover your courage and reinstate your borders. For Pete’s sake, shutting down those boats CAN BE DONE. In fact, there’s even a precedent AND solid gold proof that it works. Remember Australia? We did it. It was hard. It cost a lot. But it worked. And it still works today. Although I do distinctly remember the EU ranting and raving with disgust and condescending judgement against us for stopping the boats. Funny that, given how you lot now need to swallow some humble pie and do the same thing.
10,000 uneducated, ignorant people have flooded your shores in the last 4 days alone. They do not have usable work skills. They do not speak the right languages. They do not even have the basic educational skills behind them in order to emigrate and then go to school in the EU and learn those languages AND work skills – all at your cost, of course.
They do not even have social skills of a comparable standard. They come from societies and culture’s that are so vastly different, that assimilating to European culture will be genuinely, extremely difficult for them – and THAT is entirely dependent on whether this mindless horde even WANT to assimilate, because of course the EU defends their ‘right’ to NOT assimilate and integrate. Wouldn’t want to offend anyone of course.
You bunch need to grow up. You need to be responsible, mature adults who exercise their critical reasoning. Because you lot HAVE critical reasoning. This huge swell of migrants do not. What little education they have has obsessively and steadfastly ensured that they do NOT discover their critical reasoning, let alone learn how to apply it.
In four days, you’ve welcomed 10,000 mouth’s to feed. Extremely expensive, very hungry mouth’s that cannot return the wealth – ever – and who will breed like rabbits and will give the ‘gift’ of even more hungry, expensive mouth’s to feed.
Grow up. Either love the EU and take it as it comes. Or ditch it and regain the control over your borders. There are no other options. While you’re at it, every single aid agency that is actually, actively helping these migrants to make an illegal trip – let alone PAYING FOR IT – classify them as terrorist organizations and prosecute aggressively. Remove their tax free status and cane them with a 90% tax. Jail indefinitely, every single citizen working for these agencies. Watch how fast their assistance towards these migrants, dries up.
It seems to me, right now, that the EU is being run by adults who are completely incapable of understanding that their actions will always result in some form of CONSEQUENCES. Its not an excuse. Grow up.

“……It seems to me, right now, that the EU is being run by adults who are completely incapable of understanding that their actions will always result in some form of CONSEQUENCES……”
Those who callously wish to impose their own nihilistic theories onto other people whilst ensuring that they themselves are exempt from the consequences, aren’t adults – they are narcissists and sociopaths. Merkel, for instance, is plainly abnormal and as good a living-example of Schadenfreude as one could wish never to meet. Similarly, to see Nick Clegg (ex-Deputy PM of the UK) lying about the formation of a European Army and quoting THAT verse from the Koran – (y’know – the mock-peaceful one…) – or Mark Rutte, current PM of The Netherlands, declaring that “he can’t believe his ears…” when given some cold facts about the consequences of muslim immigration, is to see a pair of fantasists determinedly lying for fear that if they stop, the whole edifice will collapse.
Maybe it needs a prison-psychologist like Nicolai Sennels – (you’ll find his articles on Islam on-line) – to explain the psychopathy of socialism ? These people spend their time determinedly pulling down the structures that previous generations have created, yet simultaneously believe that everything will carry on safely as before….
Is it the result of 70 years of post-WW2 affluence, and of never having had to defend anything, that has allowed room for a generation who believe that there IS no such thing as reality – only theory and presentation, attitude, opinion and spin….? …that the world will always get better, safer, and more prosperous, even though they do nothing to bring this about ? …..that they can live forever on other peoples’ money?….that you can sign away your freedoms, but still live in a democracy ?….. give up your armies and still be safe ?…..close down your industries, and still be prosperous ? …..become a minority in your own country, yet it will still be run according to your ideas ? Or maybe its just the effect of a life-time of entertainment, where no matter how scary the monsters are on-screen, everybody emerges safely from the darkness and the world outside is always as safe and sunny as before ?

If the above picture is a picture of “Refugees” arriving in Italy, it appears that they are not Libyans, but Somalians and that they are all young men who should stay at home and save their own country rather than destroying someone else’s. There is not a single woman in that picture. Italy has no obligation to accept these marauders, despite their silly Pope, and they should be returned to wherever they came from at once. They came to Italy not to assimilate, but to conquer and rape, steal and murder.
Western culture is at the very brink of destruction at the hands of the EU, little wizened gnomes hanging out in luxury in Brussels and Vienna who have no thought of the wellbeing of Europeans.
