Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Italy: Former Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini’s trial for “kidnapping” migrants postponed

May 28, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The criminals are the illegal Muslim migrants who are flooding into Europe, not the responsible leaders who are trying to keep them out and protect their countries from Islamization. Yet Italy’s former Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini is being forced into court for “kidnapping migrants.” The claim is that “Salvini had ordered the craft not to allow the migrants to disembark until the European Union had agreed to relocate the migrants aboard the vessel as part of his anti-mass migration policy that also closed Italian ports to migrant transport NGO ships. The allegation is his actions to protect the Italian nation from immigration amounts to kidnapping.”

This absurdity is yet another reflection of how low globalists are prepared to go, and the ongoing efforts to criminalize all dissent from their agenda.

“Salvini Migrant Trial Postponed After Leaked Chats and Coronavirus,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, May 26, 2020:

The trial of populist Italian Senator Matteo Salvini for allegedly kidnapping migrants has been postponed following leaks of Whatsapp chats between Italian magistrates last week and the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak.

The trial of Senator Salvini was set to begin proceedings in July relating to the Gregoretti affair, in which he is accused of kidnapping migrants aboard the Gregoretti coastguard vessel while serving as the country’s interior minister in July of last year.

Salvini had ordered the craft not to allow the migrants to disembark until the European Union had agreed to relocate the migrants aboard the vessel as part of his anti-mass migration policy that also closed Italian ports to migrant transport NGO ships. The allegation is his actions to protect the Italian nation from immigration amounts to kidnapping.

The hearing has now been postponed until October, according to a Monday report from newspaper La Repubblica, with the judge in the case, Nunzio Sarpietro, blaming the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak for the delay.

“Our roles have been overwhelmed by the lockdown for the coronavirus emergency. There are thousands of postponed trials that take precedence, and I had to postpone the start of the trial that sees Senator Salvini accused in October,” he said.

Salvini has previously expressed concern about impartiality in the case after Whatsapp messages between Italian magistrates Luca Palamara and Paolo Auriemma were leaked last week in which the officials claimed to agree that Salvini’s migrant policies were legal and correct but noted they had to attack him anyway.

“This affects the principle of separation of powers and gives me real concern about the lack of unbiased judgement that affects the outcome of the procedure against me,” Salvini wrote in a letter to Italian President Sergio Mattarella…..

    This reminds me of when we landed on the beaches at Normandy. At least Italy did not greet these invaders with artillery fire.

      No, but they did meet the Allies landing on beaches in Italy this way.

      But for most of the Italians, their hearts were not in defending Fascism. Opposition to the landings was light and most of the Italian units surrendered almost immediately.

      Do you mean “when we landed on the beaches of Sicily and Salerno” ?

      The allied invasion was greatly helped by “The Man Who Never Was” decoy, a dead body with a briefcase of fake plans which misled the Germans.

    Good Evening,

    “Salvini had ordered the craft not to allow the migrants to disembark until the European Union had agreed to relocate the migrants aboard the vessel as part of his anti-mass migration policy that also closed Italian ports to migrant transport NGO ships.

    And finally what happened to them, are they really kidnapped!

    It’s the same game used on President Trump. Impeach his character to make youselves appear SJW to your voter “choir” when you know there will be no conviction. What’s that old adage: “Throw enough mud and some is bound to stick”.

    Salvini was trying to save Italy while the Pope is destroying the tourist trade that keeps Italy alive. But we must remember, the Pope lives in poverty as the blessed example of how the Italians, too, can live happily when the economy is destroyed and Germany(the EU Golden Egg layer) refuses to loan more money.

    “Kidnapping”.
    This is an example of how the Left take a word that is already loaded, denoting disapproved action, and mis-apply it to another situation, where it does not belong, in order to make use of the favourable loading.

    They heave and pull and stretch words to make them mean what they do not mean, and then they say, “There you are! It fits!'”.

    • Michael Copeland says

      May 28, 2020 at 11:57 am

      Typo. should, of course, be “make use of the unfavourable loading”.

    • gravenimage says

      May 28, 2020 at 8:51 pm

      True, Michael–this is like calling someone keeping a burglar out of their home a kidnapping. Just absurd.

    • Rufolino says

      The efforts of the Left to hang onto power in Italy are out in the open and visible for all to see.

      Look out for those who are prominent in the efforts to crush Salvini, getting some sort of publicised audience with the Pope (who supports them).

      Hard to believe that Salvini is the most popular politician in Italy The Left will do anything it takes to bring him down. They will stop at nothing. I see assassination as always a possibility.

    • Yogi says

      May 29, 2020 at 9:50 pm

      Exactly: “ kidnapped” illegal savages, parasites who wants come to Europe to rape , and collect money for doing Nothing!!, I just can’t wait when Salvini is back to the action,to save what’s left from Italy and Whole Western Europe, sunk this freaking NGO’S , and arrest Soros to pay for this madness..

    This is perfect example of the national interest of Italy conflicting with the will of the EU.

    Italians should wake up to the fact that EU is determined to turn Italy into an Islamic country. Italy being closest to North Africa will be Islamicized first when the floodgates of unrestricted migration are opened.

    Unless Italy leaves EU the invasion will continue.

    • Michael Copeland says

      May 28, 2020 at 7:37 pm

      Exactly.

    “…Unless Italy leaves EU the invasion will continue….”
    ————————————————————————————
    You’re assuming that Italian officialdom is on the side of Italy, and is being over-ridden by the EU: As we all know, it’s countries’ own in-house 5th columnists that are the most determined to wreck the place – witness the Italian NGOs taking Soros’ money to import migrants / the UK Border Force working with the French to import ever more migrants in defiance of the Home Office / Johnson, Trump and Netanyahu’s struggles against legal establishments that abuse their powers to over-throw democracy / the eagerness of Catalonian politicians to hand power to islamists in return for their supporting Catalonian independence – (they promised them “the biggest mosque outside Arabia”) – etc etc.

    just like general flynn *WILL* go to prison here in the u.s., because truth does not matter in the u.s. “justice” system, senator salvini *WILL* go to prison. the crime in both cases is, of course, not a crime, but a transgression against the socialist agenda. and marx willing, the socialists will become assume total control of the stupid stinking masses the world over soon, so that such transgressions *will* be socialist crimes, punishable then by the state popping a cap in the back of the head without all of this stupid “justice” noise. sieg heil!

    both islam and leftism are poisonous mind diseases, and either one on its own could end civilization. united as they are, civilization stands no chance at all. i will go down, no doubt murdered by a f***ing nazicrat here in the u.s., or, if i survive the people’s republic for long enough, by the islamic caliphate which will follow. just because i am doomed does *N*O*T* mean that i will not fight, however; i hope to ventilate at least a few nazicrats and pious muslims before they murder me.

    in the meantime, as the republic undergoes her final death throes, i will do absolutely *N*O*T*H*I*N*G* that could be construes as illegal, because only the nazicrats and the poor fools they have deluded are willing to break the law to achieve victory. *I* will not participate in the gutting of the constitution. instead, i am setting aside shelf-stable food and water (and it is close to being my only diet now), and also items that can be used as weapons once the end comes.

    may God save the republic, because only He can do that now.

      sigh … editing mistakes:
      “…the socialists will BECOME assume…”
      should be
      “…the socialist will assume…”

      and
      “…that could be construeS…”
      should be

    This is equivalent to what happened to Donald Trump. This is like Trump’s impeachment – a political attempt to destroy him. Salvini protected Italy for the time when he was in office. The Italian left decided that Salvini stood in the way of their dream of a Muslim Europe, and played a political game to get rid of him.
