Europe’s Odyssey

Both Turkey and Qatar are strong supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and collaborate to finance the construction of mosques in Europe.

The Odyssey teaches a message that still resonates in time – and it is that a threat does not always arrive with swords drawn, but can come in the form of a gift that makes us flatter the generosity and pride of the enemy.

But we Europeans have not learned much from Homer.

We have before us a gigantic new Trojan horse, not on a Moroccan beach like in Christopher Nolan’s movie, but inside our cities, not made of wood but of bricks, alliances and complicit silences.

Today in Europe there are 30,000 mosques.

The Trojans celebrated the horse as a symbol of peace; the Europeans celebrate the mosques as trophies of multiculturalism. Both peoples, blinded by an excess of trust, ignored the warnings. The result then was the fall of Troy; for us, it is the Islamisation of London, Rome and Paris.

King Charles has just visited the Cambridge Central Mosque, the “first eco-mosque in Europe.”

After inaugurating a commemorative plaque, the King said: “An enormous contribution, I am sure. Not only to the Muslim community, but to Cambridge itself.” The largest public donations, unsurprisingly, came from Turkey and Qatar. Erdogan donated 16 million pounds, almost two-thirds of the total construction costs. Another massive public donation was made by Qatar.

Both Turkey and Qatar are strong supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and collaborate to finance the construction of mosques in Europe.

In Strasbourg, meanwhile, after ten years of work, the crowns have been placed on top of the two 36-metre minarets of the new mosque: “the largest in Europe,” promoted by Millî Görüş, close to Erdogan.

Perhaps it is worth reading what the former Turkish prime minister Necmettin Erbakan, Erdogan’s mentor, says. During a speech in Ludwigsburg, Germany, Erbakan stated that “the Europeans are sick. … We will give them the medicine. All of Europe will become Islamic. We will conquer Rome.”

Since coming to power Erdogan has built 13,000 mosques in Turkey. And throughout Europe.

In Germany a third of all Islamic centres depend on Ankara. Turkey has also financed the construction of 27 mosques in Denmark. Of the 475 mosques in the Netherlands in 2018, 146 are controlled by the Turkish Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet). And in Austria the Turks control 58 mosques out of 250.

And still 400 out of 2,500 mosques in France, 70 mosques in Belgium…

Erdogan goes to Bosnia to inaugurate a new mosque. Then to Roubaix, in France, for the Grand Turkish Mosque. Then another Turkish mosque again in France, in Valenton. Then yet another in Saint-Vaast in Belgium. Then to Wuppertal, in Germany, where there is also the muezzin who calls everyone.

“Anyone who thinks we have forgotten the lands from which we withdrew in tears a hundred years ago is mistaken,” Erdogan has said, and he has also stated: “Western hegemony is over.”

Yet the Europeans seem far more worried that the Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir prays on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem than about all this.

Poor idiots.

Meanwhile Erdogan declares: “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers…”

If it looks like a new Trojan horse, that is because it is one.

A new mosque is opened every week in France, at the rate of 50 a year. The Ministry of the Interior estimated 150 in 1976, 900 in 1985, 1,555 in 2001 and so on in a dramatic progression.

Radical Islam does not want to “resist” in Gaza, but to destabilise and conquer the West, exploiting like a wooden horse its freedoms, its porous borders, its internal divisions and its intellectual elites.

The Odyssey warns us: beware of the gifts of enemies.

But at least with the fall of Troy the fugitives founded Rome. Once the West is colonised, where will we go?

Tiny Welsh village ‘betrayed’ as asylum seekers secretly moved into old village hall

The former village hall has been restored to its former glory… to house asylum seekers
 | 
FACEBOOK/DOMINIC MCCOID

A tiny Welsh village had to watch on while asylum seekers were “secretly” moved into their old village hall.

Locals in Gronant, Flintshire, say they feel “blindsided” and “betrayed” by the arrival of their new neighbours.

The village is home to just 1,600 people.

Its hall, which enjoys hilltop views over the village and the sea, had been out of use for some time before being converted into a series of new-build homes.

And though locals had thought the properties would be rented out on the open market, they were shocked to discover they have been made home to “asylum seekers” instead.

Labour-run Flintshire Council insists the migrants are “not illegal immigrants” and deserve to be treated with “compassion and respect”.

GB News first reported the Home Office had pledged to stop housing ­migrants in new-build homes after the infamous “Migrant Street” was exposed.

And last night, The Sun revealed that out of 15 new units in Gronant, 13 have been taken over by Clearsprings, the Home Office contractor which rakes in millions from the migrant crisis.

Kerrie Cox, 39, who lives near the new migrant housing, told the newspaper that nobody was told about the arrivals.

“I was washing my car and a blacked out minibus arrived and seven people got out, five males and two females,” she said.

Ms Cox said villagers had been told the newbuilds were to be “leased out or sold with a promise of them going as social housing”.

But now, “everyone is in shock”, she said.

“We have had the police here all day and night. We don’t normally have a police presence around here.

“I feel betrayed by the Government as a taxpayer,” she added.

Fellow local Julie Tuson, 65, agreed that she felt “absolutely betrayed” by Labour.

Her partner Robert Bagshaw, 64, said authorities “wouldn’t have a ­consultation beforehand because they would know the outcome”, calling Gronant “definitely the wrong area”.

And 29-year-old Laurie Gilmour said: “The feeling in the village is one of anger and uncertainty. It’s about not knowing who will be there. Who would want a load of random people moving into a village?”

Local Labour councillor Glyn Banks has confirmed a briefing from the Home Office and Clearsprings has been booked in for this week.

Mr Banks said he will invite North Wales Police to attend “as this has fallen in to our laps and theirs and they need to ensure everyone’s safety and hopefully reassure locals with regular patrols”.

While Cristiana Emsley, Reform UK MS for Fflint Wrecsam, said: “People in Gronant do not want this imposed on their community, and I will do everything I can to ensure the Home Office listens.”

A Flintshire County Council spokesman said: “As part of the UK Government’s national asylum dispersal scheme, the Home Office is procuring accommodation in Flintshire and across the UK to meet the needs of individuals and families seeking asylum.

“This UK Government initiative is being delivered by the Home Office, with the council required to support the process through local coordination and service planning.

“This accommodation will support a group of families who have arrived in the UK seeking safety and protection.

“These people are currently awaiting decisions on their asylum claims in accordance with UK and international law.

“They are not illegal immigrants; they are individuals exercising their legal right to claim asylum and deserve to be treated with compassion and respect.

“Funding to support these placements, including education and healthcare provision, is being provided by the UK Government through dedicated asylum dispersal funding mechanisms.

“Flintshire County Council will remain in regular contact with the Home Office, procurement partners, and other relevant agencies.”

A ­Government spokesman said: “The concerns of communities are central to our immigration reforms.”

Attack in Toulouse, France? Police officers were attacked by a man with a knife who is reported to have shouted “Allah Akbar”. One of them nearly had his throat slit (video)

Two city police officers, including one female officer, were stabbed by an armed man in Toulouse city centre at around 6 pm on Monday whilst attempting to subdue him. The suspected attacker was arrested. Threats of a terrorist nature are reported to have been made. (…)

La Dépêche

It was just before 6 pm when officers from the city police were on patrol in the Wilson district. According to Deputy Security Officer Emilion Esnault, quoted by La Dépêche, a person “gesticulating wildly” lunged at their vehicle. One of the officers, who was sitting in the passenger seat, then rolled down his window. At that moment, the man struck the inside of the vehicle with an object resembling an oyster knife.

“The arrest was extremely difficult. They seized the knife from him, but he still had two more on him,” reported the deputy security officer. According to him, the man shouted “Allah Akbar” several times.

“I get the impression that he was determined to murder our officers,” the officer added. The suspect was eventually subdued with the help of tear gas.

The outcome could have been far worse. Although the two officers sustained only cuts to their arms, “the tip of the attacker’s knife struck one of them on the neck, right next to the carotid artery, and his colleague’s bulletproof vest has a large tear in the side,” explained Emilion Esnault. The attacker, who was injured during his arrest, was also taken to hospital. His motives remain unclear. (…) The National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) has not yet issued a statement in response to enquiries.

A Famous English Beach is a Muslim Migrant Rape Hunting Ground:‘Refugee Week’ has become rape week

“If one could but go to Brighton!” Elizabeth Bennett’s mother exclaims in Pride and Prejudice.

Today, if the female characters of the Jane Austen novel were to set out for Brighton, they would find not just the “little sea-bathing” that they were after, but far worse things than that after the 40% Muslim council backed the mass settlement of illegal Muslim migrants in the area.

In July 2026, three Muslim migrants, Abdul Ahmadi, Ibrahim Alshafe and Karin Al-Danasurt, two Egyptians and an Iranian, were sentenced to prison for their involvement in raping a woman, filming their attack, laughing, spitting on her and kicking her. The attack came after the men, who spoke no English, had been trying to find a woman to marry so they could stay in the UK. The Muslim migrants who had been using Google Translate to approach women needed a translator in court.

“They destroyed my life that night,” the victim testified.

Al-Danasuri had come to the UK on a small boat and applied for asylum as a refugee because he allegedly faced a prison sentence in his negative Egypt over a possible murder conviction.

All three of the Muslim migrants were being housed in a migrant hotel at government expense. Brighton’s large number of available seaside hotels led the UK authorities to dump migrants there and the former Victorian hotels became epicenters of crime, human trafficking and rape.

By the end of that month, another Muslim man, Hany Mohamed, who held British citizenship, was accused of raping yet another woman. Akiyas Jameldeen was arrested for a rape several days later followed by yet a third arrest for rape in Brighton Beach.

Back in June, Bilal Akadour, a Syrian Muslim, had been accused of raping a woman on Brighton beach. Like the three Muslim men sentenced in July, he also did not speak English. In March, an Eritrean migrant began sexually assaulting a woman on a Brighton beach until a patrol came along.

“After that night, I lost a part of myself I’m no longer sure I will ever get back,” his victim said.

Also in March, Fattah Derrahi, a ‘chef’ with a North African name and British citizenship, was accused of sexually assaulting 11 women over 4 years in the Brighton area.

How did Brighton go from an iconic seaside area to a Muslim rape ground where migrants show up, without even knowing the language, but know that they can hunt native women for sport?

The three Muslim migrant rapists had been housed in government lodgings. The formerly beautiful hotels that had once been used by tourists visiting the seaside have been filled with Afghan, Syrian and other Muslim migrants who had illegally entered the United Kingdom.

Brighton’s migrant housing had become notorious after 400 ‘unaccompanied minor migrants’ had disappeared from the ‘hotel’. Accounts reported that, “children are literally being picked up from outside the building, disappearing and not being found. They’re being taken from the street by traffickers.” Proposals to reopen the ‘hotel’ led to protests by local residents and activists.

The Brighton and Hove City Council however complained “that the closure of one of our hotels with little notice was distressing for the residents themselves and volunteers working with them and challenging for staff in our homelessness prevention team “

The Brighton and Hove City Council, which includes Councillor Mohammed Asaduzzaman, the first Muslim mayor, Councillor Nadia Barton Ahmad of the Marxist-Islamist Green Party, Councillor Faiza Baghoth, and Councillor Samer Bagaeen, proclaimed that it is an ‘Anti-Racist City’ that “welcomes migrants, asylum seekers and refugees”.

And no surprise there since 4 out of 10 council members in Brighton and Hove are from the Muslim world, 6 out of 10 are some variety of foreigners, and only 5 out of 10 are native English.

Brighton and Hove have branded as ‘Cities of Sanctuary’ and while Muslim migrants were raping women, they were holding annual ‘Refugee Week’ events to celebrate the migrant invaders. In Brighton however, as in many cities in the UK, refugee has become rape week.

Even while affordability remains a problem for the native population, the Brighton and Hove council was soliciting “self-contained, affordable properties for refugees from Afghanistan, Syria and other parts of the world.” The area has numerous organizations catering to migrants which also act as magnets, drawing them to Brighton and in turn drawing them to their victims.

The more migrant NGOs offer services, the more migrants show up and the more women are raped, and the more the migrant NGOs deny that their migrants might have done anything.

Sanctuary on Sea, the local sanctuary organization, backed by the Brighton and Hove City Council, warned that “we need to challenge the irrational demonisation of refugees. Anti-immigration politicians and journalists try to blame refugees and migrants for almost every social problem.” SOS had nothing to say about the rapes that the migrants were committing.

The radical open borders group has campaigned for the right of migrants, like those which raped women in Brighton, to continue invading England via ‘small boats’ and still be allowed to remain for ‘asylum hearings’, opposed housing illegal migrants in restricted areas, demanding that they be “allowed to live in the community”, which is exactly what led to the wave of rapes in Brighton, and opposed even criminalizing smuggling and human trafficking of migrants. There could be no more radical position than the one being backed by the council.

But the group celebrated a “special guest appearance from Brighton & Hove’s new Mayor, Councillor Mohammed Asaduzzaman” who “as the city’s first Muslim mayor, his presence highlighted our shared dedication to building a diverse, compassionate community for all.”

Just not the women being raped on the beaches by the migrants.

Last year, the mayor opened a council session by thanking two imams and declaring, Bismillahir Rahim, In the name of almighty the most merciful Assalamualiekum, peace be upon all of you. Ladies and gentlemen, Councillors, distinguished guests, family, friends, colleagues

and the residents of Brighton and Hove” and touted a celebration of migrants.

Even while open borders group promoted by the Brighton and Hove City Council urge displaying an ‘orange heart’ in solidarity with the migrant invaders, there are no orange hearts or any sympathy for the women being raped by the migrants.

Just more praise for the ‘diverse’ migrants and refugees raping them.

UK Social Media Police Task Force Has Referred over 100 Online Posts for Arrest

A shadowy specialist police task force in Britain tasked with monitoring anti-immigration sentiment online has reportedly referred over a hundred social media posts to local police for potential arrests.

According to data released following Freedom of Information requests, the National Internet Intelligence Investigations unit has notified local police forces about 106 social media posts, The Daily Telegraph reported.

This included 50 posts in June in the wake of the disclosures surrounding the murder of teen Henry Nowak, who was stabbed to death by Sikh man Vikrum Digwa and had his pleas for help ignored by police officers, who refused to believe the dying student because his killer claimed to have been a victim of racism.

Footage of Nowak’s final moments sparked protests and riots in Southampton and drew accusations of two-tier policing on social media, with critics claiming that Nowak was treated differently from Digwa because he was white.

The National Internet Intelligence Investigations task force was established in the wake of the Southport riots, which erupted after Rwandan-heritage teen Axel Rudakubana killed three young girls and injured 10 others in a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swith dance party.

Rather than addressing the anger of the public and the role that immigration played in the tragedy, the left-wing Labour government of then-Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer branded the backlash as “far-right” and began a mass jailing campaign, arresting over 1,876 people, including some who merely posted on social media.

Police chiefs said they would not comment on the type of offending posts the National Internet Intelligence Investigations unit has flagged for arrest, claiming that doing so would jeopardise ongoing investigations.

Regardless, they said that the initiative was “still in the early stages of being established”, implying that many more posts will likely be flagged in the future.

Even without the task force at full tilt, the UK is already among the leaders in the Western world for arrests over internet posts, with the Times of London previously estimating that last year police arrested 33 people per day as of 2023 for supposedly offensive online content, or 12,183 in total for the year.

The National Police Coordination Centre, which coordinated the UK policing response during the COVID-19 lockdowns, claimed that its task force “supports policing’s understanding of protest-related activity in the online environment by developing a broader picture of emerging, potential risks”.

“Looking across force boundaries enables the identification of issues that may not be evident from information held within individual force areas alone,” it said.

Before focusing on backlash against immigration, the British government previously targeted opposition to the draconian lockdowns imposed during the Chinese coronavirus crisis. The government went so far as to deploy its specialist “information warfare” 77 Brigade of the British Army to influence public opinion and monitor high-profile figures, including journalists and politicians.

Spain: After mass migrant invasion, 5 girls under 14 reportedly raped in Ceuta

Medforth AI

Health sources have confirmed that Ceuta University Hospital has treated at least five girls over the past week for alleged rapes following the mass migrant invasion of Ceuta last month.

All the girls are Moroccan and were reportedly under the age of 14 when they were raped, with an emergency doctor verifying the cases and noting that many of these minors are sleeping on the street because of a shortage of places in shelters.

Susana Ascaso, an emergency-room doctor at Ceuta University Hospital, confirmed in an interview published by the Spanish outlet El pueblo de Ceuta that her service is dealing with cases of rape involving migrant girls.

She described the victims as 14-year-old minors who remain on the street because reception centers for minors have no available places.

“It’s not that we refuse to receive them, it’s that there is no room for them,” the doctor said.

In addition to the Moroccan girls, at least one boy was also reportedly raped, bringing the total number of underage victims to six. There may also be more cases that have not been reported yet, as there are more than ten cases involving sexual assault that have been handled by the hospital.

The Spanish National Police have opened an investigation into the alleged rape of a minor who entered Ceuta during the recent mass arrival of migrants. The child was taken to hospital, where injuries consistent with sexual assault were recorded. No arrests have been announced and the precise details of the case remain undisclosed as the investigation continues.

Judicial sources also added that several attempted sexual attacks were prevented by the intervention of local residents.

Ascaso described the entire situation as a “health disaster,” with her department receiving an average of “300 to 400 migrants a day” while operating with the same staff and resources that existed before the massive migrant crisis in July.

After being discharged from the hospital, most patients have nowhere to go. She also warned of the risk of epidemic diseases.

“We do not know if people arrive with tuberculosis, hepatitis or other types of diseases that, today, we will not be able to detect either,” she said.

Meanwhile, the people of Ceuta are also competing for medical care with the migrants.

Ascaso said the “population of Ceuta continues to get sick and go” to hospital as well, where medical authorities have established two different areas, one for migrants and another for Ceuta residents, who “also have the right to receive assistance,” according to the doctor.

Organizations such as Save the Children have highlighted the heightened risk of human trafficking and sexual exploitation facing migrant girls and adolescents in Ceuta, largely because of gaps in identification, accommodation, and support.

Jennifer Zuppiroli, a migration specialist with the organization, stressed that an adolescent girl left alone and outside the protection system can find herself in a situation of great vulnerability.

The National Police have given priority to girls and children under 13 in their identification operations. Meanwhile, the Minister of Youth and Children, Sira Rego, has acknowledged a change in the profile of minors arriving in the city, marked by an increased presence of girls and very young children.

‘Protect Our Christian Heritage’: Italian and Danish PMs Rally Europe Against Mass Migration

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni (left) and Danish PM Mette Frederiksen (right)
European Council, October 2025

Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni and Danish PM Mette Frederiksen have made a joint appeal for a tougher European approach to migration, bringing together two leaders from opposite sides of the political divide.

In “A joint message for Europe”, published on August 10, the conservative Italian premier and centre-left Danish leader said Europe must both curb uncontrolled immigration and defend its Christian cultural heritage. “We do not accept uncontrolled immigration to Europe,” they wrote.

The intervention follows a Denmark- and Italy-led letter signed by 22 EU member states after some 60,000 migrants entered Ceuta. That letter criticised Spanish immigration policies and warned that the dispute could threaten the Schengen area.

Meloni and Frederiksen argued that mass migration has increased pressure on public services and contributed to crime, including violent crime, drug dealing and sexual violence, while eroding citizens’ trust in governments and public institutions.

They pointed to efforts to clarify how international human-rights obligations apply to deportations, alongside the recently adopted EU Return Regulation and its provision for return hubs in third countries. They promised to continue pursuing further “innovative solutions”.

But they said tougher returns policy alone was “not enough”. “Respect for our laws must go hand in hand with respect for European values,” they wrote, applying that principle to both legal and illegal migration.

The leaders linked migration policy to cultural integration, arguing that people who settle in Europe should respect the values of their host countries. They did not set out a broader test of assimilation.

“We are both proud of the Christian cultural heritage of Europe and we want to protect it,” they wrote. They added that those who make Europe their home should respect European values and not seek to impose ways of life the leaders said they did not share.

By presenting tougher border and return policies as inseparable from a defence of Europe’s cultural identity, Meloni and Frederiksen sought to broaden their case beyond immigration control—and to show that the argument now reaches across Europe’s traditional left-right divide.

Ceuta was declared over before anyone had counted

Photo unzensuriert

The events of July 30-31 in Ceuta, Spain were an absolute debacle for the legacy media. While it is an open secret that the majority of mainstream journalists would prefer the issue of mass migration not to be solved but to “just go away” and blame all those pesky right-wingers for their habit of continuing to report about it, over the course of a weekend the gaslighting (or attempt thereof) was remarkable. A sovereign European territory is quite literally being invaded, and the reaction of the press was to proclaim how, in fact, everything was just fine and over within 24 hours anyway. That countries like Morocco have figured out a way to blackmail the supposedly mighty European Union was barely mentioned, and neither was the fact that instead of increasing border security, Brussels is planning to transfer even more money to the North African state. Such madness would not be possible without the complicity of the legacy media, which for several decades has decided to ignore the negative consequences of mass migration and unprotected borders, but attack all those who have been drawing attention to those very issues.

The first clear case of this was the 2015 New Year’s Eve in Cologne, where mass sexual assaults were almost swept under the rug. “Ausgelassene Stimmung. Feiern weitgehend friedlich – Exuberant mood, celebrations largely peaceful.” That is how the Cologne police described, in an initial press release of January 1, 2016, a night that eventually produced 1,210 criminal complaints, 511 of them for sexual offences. Despite the obvious existence of hundreds of victims of sexual assault, Germany’s broadcasters and State-funded media needed yet another four days to notice that something extraordinary had happened. Confronted with the facts, Elmar Theveßen, then deputy editor-in-chief of ZDF, conceded that “the news situation was clear enough” and that leaving the assaults out of the regular reporting had been an omission. Alas, omitting facts appears to have become a regular feature of European media outlets whenever a story includes unflattering details about migrants and illegal border crossings.

The newest instalment of this series arrived on the evening of July 31, 36 hours after tens of thousands of people poured into Ceuta, a Spanish exclave in North Africa, in a crossing most likely abetted by the Moroccan government as a form of punishment for Madrid’s warming relations with Algeria, Rabat’s rival in the region, where Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez had been received on July 20. Although rumours about Israel and the US being the main orchestrators immediately started to circulate, the geopolitical interests of Morocco alone were sufficient motivation to teach Spain a lesson, and neither Jerusalem nor Washington needed to be involved. Within less than two days, Spain’s foreign minister José Manuel Albares announced that “virtually all those who entered have now returned to Morocco”, and the interior ministry put the returns at an implausibly precise 48,300 by 6pm that evening, out of the roughly 50,000 it then estimated had crossed, a figure even more doubtful since we now know that the overall number of migrants was closer to 70,000, so either the number 48,300 was wrong or “all those who have entered” did not leave as claimed. A majority of Europe’s press went along with the “all have left and everything is fine” story and moved on to the more congenial question of who was exaggerating and if this story was not somehow about the evils of the “far right” rather than about a city of 84,000 being invaded by 70,000 individuals, most of them military-aged men.

The real culprits were identified within the day, and while the population of Ceuta was still pleading for help, the news circus decided that instead of their suffering the real story is how the “far right” could try to use this to their advantage. NBC News: “Europe’s far right stokes ‘invasion’ fears after mass border crossings in Spanish enclave.” The Conversation: “How the Ceuta border crossing incident immediately played into the hands of Spain’s far right.” On August 3 The Intercept ran Natasha Lennard on liberals ceding ground to the right, mentioning in passing that fewer than 2,000 migrants remained in the city, despite previous claims that “everyone has left”. Ceuta’s president Juan Jesús Vivas told Telecinco the same day that between 3,000 and 5,000 were still there, and that a reception system built for 29 minors was holding 862 of them, an overoccupation the city government put at 2,872 per cent.

Another line of argument was that Ceuta was Africa anyway, and therefore not really Europe. A peculiar argument coming from commentators who hold Ukraine’s 1954 borders to be beyond argument and Spain’s, held since 1580 and recognised by Portugal in the 1668 Treaty of Lisbon, to be a matter of opinion. The actual numbers also kept changing, which makes the idea that one could know if and how many people have truly left even more doubtful. Originally, it was said that 50,000 had crossed, then 60,000, then 72,000 as the final number by the interior minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska’s count on August 4, and 75,000 according to the Spanish press by the evening of the same day. For a city of 84,000 people the final number is tantamount to an arrival of 86 per cent of the resident population inside two days. It beggars belief how a figure gets revised upwards by 22,000 four days after the event it describes was declared solved by both politics and the media and that everyone doubting the official story must be an agent of the “far right”. The dead were counted with the same assurance, from 18 on the Thursday to 67 by Saturday and 88 by Ceuta’s own authorities. By August 5 the Spanish Government’s delegation in Ceuta had recovered 78 bodies from Spanish waters, while the NGO Caminando Fronteras put the toll at 141.

Establishing any of this fell to the few who actually went to Ceuta and talked to the authorities on the ground. Tim Röhn of Axel Springer asked a local police force how many were still in the city, and was told around a fifth of them, which even on the lowest crossing figure puts 10,000 people where the foreign ministry and all the “quality” media outlets in European capitals had put none. Pauline Voss of the German media outlet Nius reported directly from the streets of Ceuta, as did assorted bloggers armed with nothing but their mobile phones and a microphone. In an absurd twist, the very outlets that maintain permanent fact-checking desks stayed at home and fact-checked the people who had gone. When footage showed men marching through Ceuta chanting Allahu Akbar, I could not help a feeling that maybe the legacy media would have preferred those pictures and videos not making their way out of Ceuta. If one considers that Spain plays a key role in the Islamist imagination, such chants become even more salient, as they symbolise that belief held by many Muslims that “Al-Andalus” should be part of the realm of Islam once more.

The most useful finding of the week, though, has the potential to alter the general approach to migration in Europe. After all, it appears to be true that four in five of those who came left again within days but not because the border was sealed but because nothing was waiting for them, which is precisely the recipe for voluntary “remigration” right-wing parties have been suggesting for years: Cut social services and people who have no right to be in your country will leave voluntarily. While getting from Ceuta to Morocco is of course easier than moving from Germany to Syria, nobody expects the 50,000 people to leave Germany (or any other European country) within 24 hours. But it should be possible to reach those numbers over the course of a year. Cut welfare and replace it with a free transfer to the migrants’ country of origin, and it is very likely that a significant number will leave of their own accord. If the final count shows me to have overstated or understated the numbers, I will say so, but as things currently stand there are two lessons to be drawn: You cannot trust the mainstream media’s reporting on migration, and that remigration is more easily achievable than previously imagined.

UK: Brighton university offers ‘woke gobbledegook’ degree training up students for ‘meaningful careers in DEI’

The course listing describes the degree as ‘cutting-edge’. UNIVERSITY OF BRIGHTON

A British university is offering places on a dedicated woke course which will train up undergraduates to join the world of DEI.

Students going through Clearing this week have the chance to enrol on Brighton University’s Politics, Sexuality and Gender BA course, aimed at preparing them for careers in diversity, equity and inclusion.


They will learn under a “decolonised approach” and study topics like anarchism, imperialism and environmental politics.

Students will examine feminist, queer and trans political movements as well as historical and modern battles over sexuality and gender.

Placements with “local feminist and LGBTQI+ groups” are built into the programme to give students hands-on experience in the burgeoning DEI industry.

And when they graduate, they will be prepared for a “range of meaningful careers in equality, diversity and inclusion” or working for the “public and third sector”.

Though if they don’t fancy the £50,000 in student loan debt, the course outline reassures them that “knowledge is held in communities, not only in academic institutions”.

While postgraduate courses in similar fields already exist, but this is thought to be the first at undergraduate level.

Reform UK’s Suella Braverman had pledged to make students privately fund their “woke” degrees just days before the Mail revealed Brighton’s “gobbledegook” course.

Course leader Dr Jo Kellond said: “With hard-won equalities under threat around the world, there has never been a better time to study the relationship between sexuality, gender and politics.

“Attacks on reproductive and LGBTQIA+ rights have moved to the centre of political discourse.

“At the same time, exciting social movements are fighting for equality.

“Anyone concerned about sexual politics and who wants to make a difference should apply for this course.”

It comes with CCD entry requirements, though students with results as low as DDE have previously been accepted, the official Clearing website reveals.

But its listing describes the degree as “cutting-edge” and hails its “inclusive and intersectional approach” to issues like trans rights and “anti-gender” movements.

Some of its modules include “Queer Writing”, “Radical Political Economy and Anarchist Politics” and “Colonialism, Capitalism and Climate Crisis”.

The only party-political guest speakers named on the course website are former Green leader Caroline Lucas and local Green councillor Sue Shanks.

Last night, the Free Speech Union said: “Brighton must be truly desperate to offer a degree course in woke gobbledegook.

“Even students getting DDE in their A-levels aren’t dumb enough to fork out over £9,790 a year to listen to a local, pink-haired activist lecture them about their ‘lived experience’.”

Stephanie Davies-Arai of Transgender Trend told the Mail: “This course is essentially training young people to be trans activists. It is a political radicalisation course.

“It will create a bubble of reinforcement for young people with already entrenched views who don’t want to face reality and can’t tolerate difference of opinion. It will make them unemployable outside the rarefied world of DEI.”

Chris McGovern, of the Campaign for Real Education, said: “DEI is a growth industry and the university is cashing in.

Afghan Refugees Don’t Stop Beating Women

You can have women’s rights or open borders. Not both.

Medforth AI

In Greece, Elisabeth-Jane Ross, a Scottish woman who had come to work with migrants, was murdered and had her body stuffed into a suitcase and left in an abandoned building by an Afghan refugee who had his own refugee charity. In Ireland, Jamey Carney, a 43-year-old woman from upstate New York, hooked up with a ‘Palestinian’ refugee she met at an anti-Israel rally and he beat her to death and then fled. In Norway, Maren Sømme, a 30-year-old woman, was killed by an Afghan refugee previously facing deportation for abusing another woman.

But what may be difficult for the readers who scroll through these accounts in the tabloids to understand is that these horrific crimes are not aberrations or abuses, as they are in our culture, but normative behavior in the native Afghanistan of two of the alleged killers, or the ‘Palestinian’ areas in Israel, where men follow the teachings of the Koran to beat ‘disobedient’ women.

And in these cultures, women are routinely murdered in culturally sanctioned ‘honor killings’.

According to the UN’s World Health Organization, “almost 90% of women in Afghanistan have experienced at least one form of domestic violence.” The perpetrators were Afghan men following the dictates of an Islamic and Afghan culture where 92% of women “believe that a husband is justified in beating his wife.” After losing thousands of lives trying to redeem this brutal culture, we instead decided to import it to America and Europe in the form of ‘refugees’.

Afghan ‘refugees’ however don’t stop being Afghans. And they don’t stop beating women.

In Gaza, which after the Oct 7 massacres by Hamas became the supreme social media cause and looped in women like Jamey Carney, 70.4% of women reported domestic abuse. Carney became eager to learn about her new boyfriend’s religion, but learned about it the hard way.

And she’s far from alone.

The stories of these three women, abused and killed by Muslim ‘refugees’ across Europe within a short period of time are not unique and they show the threat that migrants from Muslim terrorist states pose to women and girls across Europe and the rest of the Western world.

Advocates for open borders hail mass migration as an engine of diversity, but what diversity really means is that the political, social, religious and cultural norms of America and Europe are being equalized with those of the rest of the world. That doesn’t just mean more ethnic restaurants: it means that the situation for women in the West will resemble that of the cultures that the migrants are coming from… including Pakistan, Gaza and Afghanistan.

Each wave of mass migrants has been accompanied by a wave of violence against women.

The Arab Spring mass migration to Europe led to shocking events like the mass sexual assaults on 1,200 women on New Year’s Eve in the German city of Cologne. Pakistani Muslim mass migration to the UK resulted in the ongoing grooming gang crisis in the UK in which hundreds of thousands of young girls, many of them underage, were drugged, trafficked and raped.

The mass migration of Afghans is resulting in its own mostly invisible crisis of assaults that has played out against the background of vocal denials by the political establishment and the media.

Yet what is becoming painfully obvious is that women’s rights cannot coexist with open borders.

The same political establishment that welcomes mass migration has also set aside any expectation that Afghan, Iraqi or other Muslim migrants should adapt or leave at home any of their uglier cultural practices. Behaviors such as female genital mutilation (FGM), domestic violence and animal cruelty that were once a subject of reform efforts by activists have been subordinated to the supreme cause of unreservedly welcoming Muslim migrants to the West.

Traditional feminist concerns or criticisms have now been dismissed as ‘Islamophobic’. The authorities rush to excuse and even praise questionable behaviors such as cousin marriage, and ignore or cover up more problematic tribal ones, such as rape and violence: sanctioned by the Koran when practiced by a conquering Muslim population against non-Muslims.

Mentions of this are quickly pigeonholed as ‘Islamophobic’, ‘anti-immigrant’ or ‘far-right’ even when those raising the issue are otherwise progressive or liberal, but worried about women. Even underage girls in the UK who complained about abuse were deemed ‘Islamophobes’.

No one wants to discuss what happens when a culture where even 9 out of 10 women find domestic violence acceptable comes into contact with our culture. And so women suffer and die.

It is not a coincidence that two of the three murdered women lost their lives because Islamic terrorism and mass migration were politicised and became a partisan issue, drawing in women to campaign for them. Politics has been used to censor away an issue that was once reported on in the pages of major newspapers, but that hasn’t eliminated its consequences.

Women keep on being assaulted, beaten and killed even if the media won’t report on it.

The wave of assaults on women and girls is only one of the undiscussed consequences of the larger crisis of Muslim mass migration. Misogyny, child abuse, fraud, corruption, antisemitism, terrorism, and extremism are the outcomes of the ‘equalization’ of Western nations to the level of the home countries of the migrants. Just as Afghan refugees don’t stop beating women, they don’t stop shooting up gay nightclubs, like the Pulse Massacre in Orlando, they don’t stop stabbing Jews, like the Afghan man who stabbed a rabbi in the German city of Frankfurt, and they don’t stop joining ISIS like members of an Afghan refugee family who plotted an ISIS Election Day attack in Oklahoma.

Mass migration isn’t making Muslim refugees more Western. Just the opposite, it’s making Western nations more Middle Eastern, destroying the rights of women and minorities, wrecking public trust and civil society, tearing apart our moral codes and breaking apart the West.
