Lethal globalism in Ceuta

Lethal globalism in Ceuta. By Brendan O’Neill at spiked.

For make no mistake – our rulers’ abandonment of our borders is a direct attack on us.

They’re essentially saying there is nothing about the Spanish way of life or the British way of life that is worth defending. Your country, your communities, your history, your citizenship, your welfare state – it is all so spectacularly worthless that it isn’t even worth putting a fence around it to protect it from people from foreign lands.

What the globalist elites depict as kindness to foreigners is in truth a savage assault on the rights and dignity of citizens. Enough is enough. Stop the boats. Fortify the borders. Save nationhood from these nihilists disguised as altruists. …

Invasion, not asylum seeking:

Can we say ‘invasion’ now? What other word is there for the rough intrusion of tens of thousands of young men into the sovereign territory of a foreign nation? Surely not even the sappiest leftist in his tattered keffiyeh and ‘Refugees Welcome’ t-shirt would describe the thuggish gatecrashing of an independent nation as ‘asylum seeking’? …

Local people have been assaulted or stabbed, and shops have been looted all across Ceuta. Footage here of a Spanish man being knocked out cold in Ceuta by marauding migrants.

This woman in Ceuta was absolutely shaking on camera, SURROUNDED by illegal migrants, and begging for the army to intervene… “I am surrounded. I am scared. This is an invasion.” Europe’s southern gate just swung wide open, and ordinary people are wondering where the government is.

Lethal globalism:

The fall of Ceuta exposes the lethal strain in globalism. It speaks — screams in fact — to the chaotic trashing of sovereignty, democracy and our very way of life that globalism and its gold-collared acolytes have brought about. …

The Ceuta crisis is the rotten product of the death cult of globalism. A toxic combination of institutional paralysis and ideological capture by the globalist delusion has meant our leaders have wilfully abandoned the first duty of the state: to protect its territory from external actors. The spirit of resignation over the crisis at our borders is staggering and depressing

In Spain, Britain, France, Germany, the cry goes out: there is nothing we can do to stem the arrival every day of scores of men from foreign countries. The fatalism is breathtaking. There is no comparable moment in history, outside of war, when nation states have so supinely surrendered their territory to foreign actors.

This is what some on the left have been calling for:

When you watch the videos of the mass migration invasion of Spain, remember this is exactly what their far-left politicians wanted.

This is the Left’s playbook around the globe: import millions of migrants, bribe them with amnesty and welfare, and then allow them to vote so they can cancel out the votes of actual citizens.


Germany’s far left party “Die Linke” have demanded that Germany take in all of the illegal migrants from Ceuta.

Some on the left say Spain should give Ceuta back to the Muslims, because it was conquered by the Christians in 1405. Well then, perhaps the Turks should give back Constantinople (1453)? Or Egypt ~700 AD?

By late Friday, Spanish authorities claimed that most of the migrants had either left willingly or been pushed out by security forces.

To restate the obvious:

I noticed that the ABC News last night was careful to show the very few women in the invading crowd very prominently. That’s a form of lying.
