Greece’s Migrant Crisis: “A Powder Keg Ready to Explode”

  • “People have seen their properties destroyed, their sheep and goats have been slaughtered, their homes broken into. A few years back, when there were 5,000 migrants on the island, things seemed bad enough. Now there’s a sense that the situation has really got out of hand.” — Nikos Trakellis, community leader in Moria, on the Greek island of Lesbos.
  • “I fear for the safety of our people, the residents of Lesbos. For the situation to change, many refugees have to be transferred to the mainland and new arrivals from Turkey must be stopped. If not, we are doomed.” — North Aegean Regional Governor Kostas Moutzouris.
  • “Welcome in Greece are only those we choose. Those who are not welcome will be returned. We will permanently shut the door to illegal human traffickers, to those who want to enter even though they are not entitled to asylum.” — Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
  • Greek officials have said that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan personally controls the migration flows to Greece and turns them on and off to extract more money and other political concessions from the European Union.
  • Turkey, which currently hosts nearly four million Syrian refugees, has said it cannot handle a new influx. It has repeatedly threatened to re-open the floodgates of mass migration to Europe.
A plan by the Greek government to build new migrant camps on five Aegean islands has sparked violent opposition from local residents, who fear that the facilities will encourage yet more mass migration from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

A plan by the Greek government to build new migrant camps on five Aegean islands has sparked violent opposition from local residents, who fear that the facilities will encourage yet more mass migration from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

The government says that the new camps, expected to be operational by July 2020, are needed to alleviate overcrowding at other locations that have been the focus of international criticism. Local residents counter that the migrants should be transferred to mainland Greece.

On February 25, more than 500 locals prevented construction workers from accessing the site of a proposed new migrant camp at Karava Mantamadou on Lesbos. Riot police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the crowds.

Similar clashes occurred on Chios, a large Greek island located less than 20 kilometers from Turkey, from where tens of thousands of migrants depart each year in hopes of eventually reaching mainland Europe.

Absolutely! Since the traitorous, dead-eye whore Merkel wants Allah savages into Germany and Europe so badly who are we to deny her that insane wish? Load all of them onto cattle trains, and get the subhuman garbage to their destination without any stops on the way. Mutti will be overjoyed as will the stupid Krauts who keep voting the evil thing into power! Enjoy the self-inflicted destruction of your country and continent, Scheißköpfe!

But it won’t be MURKYL (sounds like a fungus growing under a truck stop toilet seat) who has to deal with them or live next to them or guard against their savage ‘gib me dat fing-ishness’.
That pleasure she will foist upon normal Germans.
How is that traitorous bitch still in government? Didn’t Germans get a vote recently? A chance to turf the woman? Who the hell voted for “more Merkel please?”

Because Europeans did NOTHING to stand up to the evil tyrant leaders in their own countries, they are reaping what they have sown.

EUROPE: get your own DONALD J. TRUMP, support him or her 200% and fight Muslim European domination, which is exactly what MUSLIMS, Globalists and Tyrants want.

You know your leaders are totally cucked traitors when foreign fighters invade your country and you build homes for them and give them money.

This is where decades of Leftist brainwashing leads you to, no ability to adapt to change. No sense of us vs them, protecting your people from alien cultures trying to conquer you. You think you live in a ‘global village’ and everyone shares the same tolerant values you do (sarcasm).

As always it’s women, children and the elderly who’ll suffer the most when they arrive. Europe is about to change forever if this is allowed, expect it to turn into another Syria, a warzone, another Islamic hellhole outpost in a global Caliphate.

A nation can survive economic downturns, evil, corrupt leaders but it cannot survive a large demographic shift. Muslims have been drooling for centuries to conquer Europe and now their time has arrived because Europe is weak, confused and defenseless.

So the more extreme this problem becomes, the more extreme the solution will be. Their last remaining hope will be the rise of the far right unleashing the dogs of war on the invaders, many innocents will probably pay the ultimate price as well.

Greece is bankrupt and dependent on the EU. The gun laws are strict in Greece but they can still get them. Maybe it’s time to get more and use them?

As of 17-30 hr GMT Saturday 29 Feb 2020, the Daily Wail is reporting that some 18,000 illegal migrants from across Islamic Asia and some from Africa have cut the fences and stormed across the land border into Greece. Still more have been landing on Lesbos because the great poo barr in Turkey stood down his border guards {during a temper tantrum over 34 dead Turkish soldiers in Syria}.

All Greek politicians from the top to the locals have sworn to prevent what’s just happened recently, it’s going to be interesting to see what happens over the next three months with first corona and now this.

Well Trump is trying to do the things he promised with the despicable Democrats trying to sabotage him every chance they get. I think he’s been a great President and will definitely be voting for him again! I can’t wait to watch the whining press with their liberal tears have another meltdown on the air again! That was priceless! Sometimes I go back on YouTube to watch it again. That’s how enjoyable it was for me. My daughter and I were high-fiving each other and jumping around so happy. I was just hoping my liberal neighbors heard us.????????????

Greece suffered for centuries under the Ottoman muslum boot heel, I believe Robert Spencer’s family was given the choice to convert to islam or go into exile in one of the conquered Greek provinces.

“Weapons Of Mass Migation” (Kelly Greenhill). However, this weapon would be blunt and would miss its target if there were no giant magnet to lure the invaders. It is Mama Merkel’s fertile welfare womb.

Where in the world is the land where milk and honey flow? In Germoney. All you gotta do is get in the cuddly bed that’s waiting just for you. The honeylanders want to be lied to, so you throw away your papers and documents and claim that you’re not a rapist, conqueror or terrorist, but a harmless politically persecuted minor. Fools want to be lied to, that’s karmic.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
They are non-uniformed invaders – soldiers of Allah.
If they were wearing uniforms there would be no problem with opening fire and shooting them.
But somehow the absence of a uniform seems to protect them.

Well it looks kind of like our border did a few months back with the hordes of people coming in from Central America. Why do people just think they can waltz into a country and get right on welfare. It wasn’t like that in the past though. It was supposed to only be
a temporary stepping stone and there until they found the father of the child or children and then try to make him pay it back. So much for that! Women found out how to scam the system. The more children the more money. Sounds like an awful way to live. But that’s just my opinion though. Europe, EU or whatever entices people with it. Tells them to come and get it! And there you have it! The beginning of the Islamic caliphate. That’s what Muslims think anyway.

The time for peaceful gestures is at an end. Set up the machine guns and cannons. Point them at the invaders. Give them 1 minute to reverse course. Then open fire. Give no quarter. This idea of catch and return wastes Greek resources.

Unless the other EU countries join together and help Greece keep them out. Europe is doomed as the first ‘civilized’ nations to fall to the army of Mohammed. BUT, they were also the first to kick GOD out of their countries, their Governments, their churches and finally their lives. As such, they are masters of their own demise.
The Jews of Europe better get out while the getting is good as well. Besides the run-of-mill everyday Jew hatred (anti-semitism is not a strong enough word and has lost most of it’s meaning), these “Allah who?Akbars” bring a whole new level of Jew hatred with them.
As A Christian who loves Israel and God’s Chosen people, I urge them to make Aliyah NOW, ASAP, before it is too late. Get out and go home to Israel where you belong and should be anyway.
BTW, we are living in the days of Ezekial 38/39 and 2 Thess. so y’all should be expecting the Lord to come and take His believers home soon and then clean up the mess that mankind has made. That’ll take 7 years after we are gone !!!
Maranatha, come Lord !!………<><

The “powder geg” of Europe exploded 10 years ago while everybody was asleep. What is happening now is a cleaning up operation. The interim Islamic government is taking over already. Perhaps there will be a civil war . . . which would be lost by Europe . . . perhaps its just a matter of raping the women and killing the men . . . as the Muslims imagine. Either way, it will not be pretty to watch.

Who and what is really behind the spread of Islam into Europe. Could it be the military industrial complexes of Russia and the United States and others arming, funding and training both sides of a 1400 year old Muslim against Muslim blood feud? All intellectualized in the name of balancing the powers in the Middle East. How’s that working out? Wars and rumors of wars. They cry peace peace but there is no peace. Millions of Muslims and others destabilized begging for bread, humanity and asylum in the old judeo Christian West. Once they’re in they begin colonizing rewarding the Christian heart and soul of democracy that took them in with Sharia law, FGM, grooming gangs, mosques that teach radicalism and no go zones. Are the cynical Middle East chess playing profiteers of doom, bloodshed and tears reaping what they’ve sown?
