A young Iraqi man comes up from behind a 16-year-old girl standing on the platform waiting for her train. Suddenly he pushes her and sends her falling onto the tracks just as a freight train was passing. Just like that, for no reason. It happened 15 days ago. It has only become known now. Because for two weeks the local authorities and the state police tried by every possible means to prevent the fact from becoming known. They attributed the girl’s death to an accident. And they stubbornly denied that anyone had been involved, least of all an immigrant. They went on denying the truth until two days ago, with the police and the other authorities covering up the crime to the very end against all the proof and evidence gathered by the journalists who have revealed the scandal.
That is already happening all across Europe, but in Spain, star pupils that we are, with even greater cynicism if such a thing is possible. In Spain the authorship of crimes and serious offences is being denied. And blame is also being turned back onto the victims in order to cover up the perpetrators for the mere fact of their being immigrants. Also concealed or denied are the offences of those, Spaniards and foreigners alike, who run the highly lucrative business of bringing in illegal immigrants in supposedly legal fashion under the cloak of humanitarian action and rescue. Which is as false as the German police’s versions in the case of the girl in Göttingen. Neither humanitarian action nor rescue. We are talking about a regulated traffic that they bring in systematically with appointments arranged by traffickers on both sides.
Now a great many frauds have thrown their hands up over Santiago Abascal’s very graphic and accurate phrase that the slavers’ ship must be “confiscated and sunk”, in reference to the best known of Spain’s freebooting human-trafficking vessels, the Open Arms. Abascal has said nothing he has not been saying for almost a decade. Before, there were few of us saying it. Today we are already millions and soon we will be a majority holding that certainty. The criminals who are sinking Spain by encouraging an invasion that endangers all Spaniards and the nation itself must be sunk.
It is delightful to see how the talk-show panellists, so smugly conventional, all of them of both sexes, have worked themselves into a fury because Abascal wants to sink a ship full of refugees. No, you manipulating horde, Abascal did not say that. Abascal said that the ship must be confiscated and afterwards sunk. “That slavers’ ship must be confiscated and sunk”.
And he did not say it, but it is certainly his intention, because it is the intention of everyone who wants to restore respect for the borders and for Spanish law, that audits will have to be demanded not only of Open Arms but of all these organisations that are at this moment collecting fortunes in public money to house and maintain those whom their colleagues bring in. There are many people here becoming multimillionaires. Not only by trafficking in Venezuelan oil and all manner of things through the Dominican Republic. With the refugee industry, the immigrant industry, the unaccompanied-minor industry, with delirious invoicing paid by their friends in the administration. Abascal is once again entirely right. The sinking of the Open Arms will be a fine ceremony to mark the end of the era of contempt for borders and of incentivised invasion.
To benefit this industry, society must be kept from seeing the dramas this invasion generates daily across the whole of Spain. And there exists an express will, not only in the PSOE and its communist and separatist partners but also in the PP, to protect criminals and their acts with silence or concealment because they are immigrants. Denying it makes no less clear the will to protect the traffickers of illegal immigration, especially that link in the chain which is financed by the administrations and which are the special troops of the left and the far left known as NGOs.
They are called, in what is already an act of cover-up, Non-Governmental Organisations when they are exactly the opposite: they are fully governmental organisations, financed in large part, some of them entirely, with public money.
The NGOs devote themselves to what governments want but cannot do officially and publicly. Among other things, maintaining with public money an immense network of cadres wholly identified with their leftist ideology.
Germany, as this sad case in Göttingen once again exposes, has been the pioneer in these concealments, ever since those mass rapes and assaults in Cologne under Merkel which they tried to deny even when there were hundreds of victims and witnesses. The German authorities’ will to cover up is permanent and absolute. As it has been in thousands of cases in these past years, some of them known, others not. In Germany the security that was one of the treasures of the Federal Republic since the war has collapsed. The person chiefly responsible for Germans no longer being able to live as they did before is, of course, Angela Merkel, who in September 2015, with her total opening of the borders and the colossal pull effect of her proclamation that Germany would take in everyone in need, broke the balance of German society forever.
Today many believe that all of it formed part of a plan by a Merkel who had joined the CDU after the fall of the Berlin Wall without having genuinely abjured her communist militancy, and that her opening of the borders was really an act against the German nation. She never concealed her rejection of national symbols and ceremonies, and the image in which she contemptuously removes a German flag that had slipped into the photograph after an electoral victory is famous. Among those convinced of this is the man who was her head of the secret services at the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Hans Georg Maassen, whom she dismissed because he debunked a journalists’ hoax about a pogrom by far-right extremists in Dresden that Merkel had made her own. Merkel did not forgive Maassen for proclaiming the truth before the media. There had been no far-right crime, which is the kind the social-democratic two-party system goes looking for. What there has been in Dresden ever since is an unceasing series of deaths of Germans at the hands of immigrants. And that the media do not trumpet as they did with the false pogrom.
