"With Open Gates: The Forced Collective Suicide of European Nations," a virulently anti-refugee propaganda video widely circulated on the Internet has received over four million views on YouTube over the last two weeks. The video uses selective footage of African and Muslim refugees and immigrants to depict them as creating mayhem and destruction throughout Europe.
The video ends with a clip of the founder of a Jewish cultural institute in Sweden, who claims that Jews support efforts to promote multiculturalism in Europe. This segment of the video gives fuel to anti-Semites who blame Jews for non-white immigration to Europe. The statement that accompanied the posting of the video on YouTube blames "Zionist interest" for destroying Europe "from the inside."
The clear aim of "With Open Gates" is to increase anti-immigrant and anti-refugee hysteria in Europe by painting refugees as invaders who are destroying European culture and society and pushing the continent to become a non-white majority.
The racist video originated on 8chan, a controversial Internet discussion forum whose "Politically Incorrect" subforum is notorious for racist and anti-Semitic language. A user with the screen name of Gex appears to have created the video, with some assistance from other users. The same person created an earlier video called "End Times Europe," which uses some of the same footage.
In its first days of release, it was mostly white supremacists in Europe and North America who were extolling the video. Racists on 8chan and elsewhere worked to promote the video and gain more viewers for it. Andrew Anglin, who runs the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer site, asked his readers to make the video go viral. Jared Taylor, who runs the white supremacist website American RenaisÂsance, also supported the video, as did two popular white supremacist forums, Vanguard News Network and Stormfront. InfoWars, an anti-government conspiracy-oriented site, also highlighted the video.
The Right Stuff, a web site that posts articles and Internet radio interviews by white supremacists, claimed that hunÂdreds of thousands of peoÂple had viewed the video in the first 3 days after it was posted. They wrote, "If half of the people who watched this video collectively were as triggered as we were. ... .Thats [sic] like the largest standing army in europe."
The video picked up steam in mainstream conservative circles after Breitbart in London featured it in a November 11 column. Breitbart reported that the video was being rapidly shared on social media including YouTube and Facebook and online message boards. The video had over a million views by the time YouTube took it down for copyright violations. However, mirror versions of the video soon appeared on social media sites in the U.S. and Europe. YouTube eventually allowed the video to be viewed again once the copyrighted music had been removed.
In the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks, the video received even more attention, particularly in more mainstream circles. Former Representative Michele Bachmann encouraged people to view it, urging, "After 100 killed by Muslims, watch this video on migrants." In addition, Washington Times contributor and radio show host Steve Deace devoted an entire column to the video. He writes disparagingly of the refugees going to Europe and says that the video shows what could be at stake in America, "if we continue to let our own cultural heritage bleed out."
"With Open Gates" demonstrates graphically how the ideas of extremists and white supremacists can resonate with a wide audience. It also illustrates just how receptive so many people in North America and Europe are to anti-immigrant and anti-refugee fear and loathing.
Liberal AsaJews ADL blames West for seeking to resist demographic, spiritual and cultural suicide.
Islam is not known for tolerance, co-existence and multi-culturalism.
ADL needs to STFU.
Isn't that EXACTLY what is happening? So what's the problem?
what they CAN do is sell ALL their belongings and go over there to help them.
OR they could shut the @#$ up.
Odd that leftists want more Jew-killing, gay tossing off building murdering, women raping and vagina mutilating Muzzies in their country.
Selective footage? Who are they kidding? Have they been asleep at the wheel? This is the new norm for the "Christian" (my a$$ ) refugees
When Muslims do it, its called Taqqiyyah. What’s it called when the ADL does it?
I’ll bet the ADL’s response would be far different if it was Israel that was being inundated with Muslim and African “refugees”?
So, you are soviet?
Suicidal ADL thinks Islam is a race? That’s really stupid.
I’m anti-Communist and anti-Soviet.
lol. Why?
ADL needs to dry up and blow away
Selective footage? Of course it is selective. That is what you do when you make a production. I get their insinuation but it is stupid to pretend that productions are not produced with organization of thought and editing as you would use in writing an article or putting together a story.
The ADL is supportive of Christian Nations being overrun with Muslim immigrants. It’s “racist” and evil for us to protect our lands.
...
euram: I’ll bet the ADL’s response would be far different if it was Israel that was being inundated with Muslim and African “refugeesâ€?
...
Troll.
KMA.
Troll what?
> The video uses selective footage of African and Muslim refugees and immigrants to depict them as creating mayhem and destruction throughout Europe.
Ergo, they admit that the footage shows events that actually occurred. That is not a depiction, it is proof.
Islam is an ideology not a race.
We can’t oppose those who want to destroy us?
Now that’s racism!
