Massive Migrant Shipwreck off Southern Italian Coast Kills 43

ROME — A vessel carrying over 100 migrants shipwrecked off the coast off the southern Italian region of Calabria on Sunday morning leaving at least 43 dead and scores missing.

Police arrested an alleged human trafficker found among the survivors of the shipwreck, suggesting that the voyage was part of ongoing human smuggling effort engaged in ferrying migrants across the Mediterranean Sea into Italy.

The boat sank off the coast of Cutro in the province of Crotone, after which a number of bodies were found on the beach in Steccato, while others were recovered from the sea. Among the dead were many women and children, as well as an infant.

The number of victims stands at 43, but investigators fear the number could rise to 100 or even more. The uncertainty stems from the fact that rescuers do not yet have a reliable figure for the number of people on board.

The point of departure is also still unclear but reports have stated that many of the survivors do not speak English. One report suggested the vessel was carrying more than 250 migrants from Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

No doubt the blame will fall on far right wing extremist PM Meloni.

And then they will blame Trump, because, well, because EVERYTHING is Trump's fault regardless of where it happens!

“Police arrested an alleged human trafficker found among the survivors of the shipwreck, suggesting that the voyage was part of ongoing human smuggling effort engaged in ferrying migrants across the Mediterranean Sea into Italy.”

For people that don’t understand how Human Trafficking works in this part of the world, here’s a quick summary:

1: Soros, working with the Globalists, purchases medium-sized ships for his NGOs - called ‘Rescue Ships’.
2: The migrants arrive at the Libyan Coast (thank you Skunk Cabbage), having traveled from their Third World countries.
3: The migrants board special ‘Embarkation Boats’ which are crappy, but can get them to international waters.
4: These crappy boats go 3 miles out (or whatever it is) to international waters north of Libya.
5: These crappy boats ‘break down’ out there or run out of gas.
6. An NGO ‘rescue ship’ just happens to be nearby and ‘rescues’ the migrants.
7. Since they are international waters, the ‘rescue ship’ can go either north or south. Rather than take them the 3 miles south back to Libya, they choose to go 150 miles or so north to Europe.
8. And the ‘rescued’ ‘refugees’ are on their way to becoming Europeans.

Europe, of course, knows all of the above, and could sink or otherwise seize these ships when they are sailing south, with only the Traffickers on board...but they do not. So while Europe acts paranoid that a relative handful of Russian soldiers will take over their continent, tens of millions of Third World types are doing just that, with the full complacency of the European governments (other than Hungary and Poland). Europe is hosed, and it ain’t Russia doing it.

Despite the purported hatred of whites, Christianity, Western civilization and culture, and racism, the rest of the world seems, despite all, to want nothing more than to live among white Christians and the civilization they created.

They were neither migrants nor immigrants. They were illegally entering insurgents.

“Massive”

Hardly. Every single one of their rafts and boats should be sunk.

Ottoman Empire ancestors cry in pain. They made easy coastal raids to kidnap females and resources at will in the 14th - 17th centuries.

Now these people can't even sail correctly in the Year of Our Lord 2023.

So are people who expect someone else to care for and feed them while they still persist in what got them in their bad way in the first place.

I take back nothing.

Have a nice day.

Bravo, well said. Funny how a country, The United States, so hated around the world is the one place more than half the world wants to come to.
