Almost the entire population of Italy, it seems, spent the last week of June watching a boat arrive from across the Mediterranean. It was the Sea-Watch 3, a Netherlands-registered ship funded by progressive philanthropists and captained by Carola Rackete, a 31-year-old German climate-change activist. Rackete radioed that she was carrying 42 African refugees rescued at sea who were in desperate health. Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini holds that such ships rendezvous with traffickers just off the Libyan coast, and are really less interested in rescuing sailors than in transporting illegal immigrants to Europe en masse. Taxis, he has called them. And indeed, Rackete had been doodling about at the edge of Italys territorial waters for several days, charting a course less consistent with any health emergency than with a wish to land her human cargo in the European Union, where it is easy to apply for political asylum and where even those whose applications are rejected are almost never deported. Since his Lega party began sharing power in a populist coalition a year ago, Salvinis decision to close Italys ports to such ships has made him the countrys most popular politician by a mile and arguably, though he is still only a cabinet minister, the leader of the Western European political Right.

One of the initial investors of Black Ivy was identified on their website as Woong-ki Kim, chairman of SAE-A, ABC News reported. That page has since been removed. The Clinton Foundation has denied any involvement in the decision to build the industrial park, recruiting SAE-A as its anchor tenant and denied persuading former donors to establish factories in the industrial park.
It has yet to be determined if Cheryl Mills is still cashing US govt paychecks.
In Europe as in the US you have class justice.
Because of her connections, ability to finance a legal defense of oneself, and some popular support, this individual can get away with things where some “average person” would land in prison.
The German politicians are very charitable when it comes to other peoples money, other peoples security, other peoples soldiers. But then again, our politicians are no different.
However, the Italians have no balls either. They want to appease a large part of the population negatively affected by globalization and unfettered immigration (see corona virus as the latest event) but also don’t want to really crack down on this. Again, we are no different, see illegal immigration into the US and our policy/law makers. If the Italians had really wanted to stop her, they would have. It’s one of those things where you want to play it both ways and pretend to try to stop this ship, but don’t really try to hard. Then the German politicians show they have a heart (but the Italians get to pay for it)...
Politics as usual.
