A few days ago, Belarus authorities were busy instructing Muslim migrants about how to use kids for propaganda as they tried to break through Poland’s border. They were instructed to “make them ‘look dirty and tired,’” so as to arouse international sympathy and increase pressure on Poland. For Belarus, the suffering of migrants does not matter. All Alexander Lukashenko cares about is effectively waging a “hybrid war” against the EU, with Poland in the middle.
The propaganda went further than instructed, as some migrants took the instructions to a whole new level, blowing smoke in children’s faces to make them cry, as you can see in the Twitter video:
Kolejne nagranie wyglądające jak "przygotowania" dzieci do działań propagandowych.
Obrazki z płaczącymi dziećmi są wykorzystywane do wywierania dodatkowej presji na Polskę. pic.twitter.com/eVFmZLJ1JG

In the Syrian crisis, lies were also employed. The majority of “child” migrants in Britain were discovered to be really adults, lying about their age. Had these Muslim migrants “been treated as children it would have left councils and local taxpayers facing a care bill of millions of pounds a year.” Propaganda and outright lies are routine.
Belarus, like many others, knows that the Leftist media is easy prey for propaganda. Poland has already suffered bad publicity for rejecting supposedly needy migrants, with no media coverage about obvious security and economic issues. Nor is there any Western media pressure or queries about why Muslim countries are not stepping up to host these refugees.
More on this story. “Migrants Kids Have Cigarette Smoke Blown in Face to Fake Tears: Claim,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, November 17, 2021:
The Polish government has released footage purporting to show child migrants being “prepped” to provoke sympathy for the waiting cameras of the media, with at least one having cigarette smoke blown in their face to make tears.
While women and children appear to make a small fraction of the thousands bussed to the EU’s eastern frontier by the regime in Minsk, nevertheless those present appear to have been prepared to evoke pathos for the waiting cameras of the media this week. Further cameras on the other side of the fence caught footage which the Polish government claims unveils the charade, however.
The apparent harassment of the children by their migrant handlers to produce tears for the waiting media has been criticised as “propaganda activities” at the hastily re-inforced border by the Polish government and its spokesmen.
“Pictures of crying children are used to put additional pressure on Poland,” wrote National Security Department spokesman Stanisław Żaryn as he shared a video appearing to show migrant men blow smoke in the faces of small children to supposedly induce tears.
Poland’s Ministry of Defence also released footage in which migrant women and children are taken to the front of the border where they are met with a slew of camera crews on the Belarussian side of the fence.
According to the Polish government, the video showed the Belarussian media creating “propaganda materials”.
The Polish government has previously claimed that migrants were being “instructed” on how to act sympathetic by the “Belarusian security services”, sharing screenshots of Arabic messages allegedly sent to migrants, in which migrants are instructed to “Take the kids, hug them, look dirty and tired.”….

How stupid can the EU be? I know the answer as well as everyone else does. Once again, why does not anyone in the press or government leaders in the West ask why the Lukashenko government brought them Belarus in the first place. Why is he not asked why he has not provided safe and clean housing for immigrants that he has ordered to be brought into his nation? Since using civilians as cannon fodder is prohibited by the Fourth Geneva Convention pertaining to civilians in war and Lukashenko has turned this into a de facto war with the EU, why do not the Europeans go to Den Hague and charge him with war crimes?
Everyone here knows how to fix the Lukashenko/Islamic Invasion of Europe by simply building huge strong walls. Reagan today would say “Europe, build that wall” rather than his famous “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall.”

EU has lots of globalists who want to replace the population … they are ‘cunning’, not ‘stupid’.

All important questions, Ray. Belarus is not right next to Aghanistan.

The iota of sympathy I had for these economic migrants just went *POOF* up in a cloud of smoke.
born saturday says
it is a sample of the barbarocity of islam the way they use children and women to justify their invasion just because women and children have a humanitarian value to europeans when they themselves mistreat and abuse their own children in the most horrible way there is whithin islam and wherever islam exists…
see bellow a video from greek borders where the immigrants are ramming a child onto the riot police shields to drive the police crazy so that they can move forward and not disperse from the area…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq08E3g-Y_U
it is common nomatter how barbaric it may seem to the europeans or westernerns for muslims tooliing women and children either for warfare or propaganda or various other reasons or just abuse them because mohamed did, if mohamed ever existed…
it is more than obvious now to anyone in europe that 90% of the invaders are muslims men aged from 18 to 30 and eager to islamize wherever they go
women and children are mostly introduced to the invasion for propaganda purposes… and that we see in this occasion…
Dhimmi says
Considering the way these people live and sacrifice their children, as martyrs, it is entirely possible that even those who died were killed by parents and friends as a sacrifice to start the invasion of Europe and of the civilisation
gravenimage says
This would not surprise.
Dhimmi says
I wonder if any of the western press would write about the criminal sacrificing of these children in order to start an invasion
somehistory says
Child abuse comes easy to these people.
mozlums have long used their own kids to cause the Israelis trouble…rock-throwing encouraged by the ‘mothers’ and strapping bombs onto the little bodies and sending them out to meet the soldiers.
And this cig smoking…moxlums have killed infidels for smoking, selling tobacco, etc. and here they are, blowing the poison smoke into the little faces. Second hand smoke kills as easily as first-hand. (Eddie Rabbit never smoked, but breathed smoke in bars where he performed and died of lung cancer in his 50’s).
I feel sorry for these children…not a bit for the adults. They have chosen to be evil. Evil doesn’t deserve help or pity.
Wellington says
Quite fitting (and telling) since fakery is tied up with Islam from its inception.
john smith says
Hate is all these savages know, they don’t even love their own children. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least, if they were to murder a child so they could blame it on the Poles. I would put nothing past them.
I’m so glad the UK has sent troops to help guard Poland’s border, just wish they would send troops to guard it’s own borders.
mortimer says
A new Iron Curtain is needed to keep unwelcome invaders out, rather than to keep the persecuted in.
Anyone who wants to enter Poland should respect the law and do it lawfully.

Yes, just like when the PA uses pictures depicting horrors from other wars or events and claim the Israelis are responsible and news outlets like the NY Times uses them without ever checking first.
Rufolino says
In Italy the Left runs regular tv “commercials” (!) on behalf of migrants, hoping to persuade Italians that migrants are a good thing. These ads invariably include extended film of weeping children.

Karma would be the migrants turning on Belarus authorities for misinforming them .
