A “Refugee Relief Supply” Cargo Container Arrives In Greece Devoid of “Refugee Relief

A “Refugee Relief Supply” Cargo Container Arrives In Greece Devoid of “Refugee Relief Supplies”…

It would appear the relief supplies were actually a container filled with weapons. Remember, this arrived in Greece specifically designated for the Syrian “refugees” – I’m looking for more details on the video.

CNN or international media? {{{crickets}}}

Why not???

Looking at the news coverage of the refugees, there seems to be PLENTY of able bodied Syrians that could pick up arms and go back to "liberate" their country from ISIS or whoever...

But no, they expect someone else to do it...

"These aren't the droids you're looking for."

The spin from the conservative treehouse article is very misleading and leads one to think that the shipment of "refugee supplies" was directed to Greece from Turkey. Not so. The port of call was Libya and then on to Sudan.

The Greek Coast Guard intercepted the freighter IAW a UN embargo of arms shipment to Libya and one would guess this was based on HUMINT from the point of origin - Turkey.

From Reuters:
Quote:
Greek authorities have seized a freighter carrying an undeclared shipment of weapons en route from Turkey to Libya, coast guard officials said on Wednesday.

A coast guard patrol boat raided the vessel on Tuesday, 20 nautical miles northeast of Crete. The freighter, with a crew of seven and which had sailed from the Turkish port of Iskenderun, was escorted to Heraklion port on the island.

The United Nations has imposed an embargo on weapons shipments to Libya, which is plagued by factional conflict.

Not a big limb to go out on, but I'd bet money this can be tied to BENGHAZI.

It comes full circle. Now just need a manifest from AIC that ties these weapons to Libya to begin with. Nothing like seeing a good conspiracy unraveling.

why would these refugees find it necessary to liberate Syria?
...liberate it from what?


The ummat al-Islamiyah is alive and well in Syria. It has already been liberated. The Christians and apostates are already being dealt with so why stay?
...its the same reason there is no influx of refugees into neighboring Islamic nations. The Ummah is safe. It is the west that needs to be liberated.

And our friends the Saudis are helping with that liberation a very generous offer to pay to build 200 Mosques in Germany for the 500,000 that their government said that they would take.

Europe is doomed.

Really? According to the Reuters (a reputable "international media" news outlet) article at the link you posted, it would appear the vessel was intercepted by the Greek Coast Guard at sea ("...20 nautical miles northeast of Crete...") and:

Quote:
A Turkish foreign ministry spokesman confirmed the cargo included weapons but said it was fully documented and was destined for the Sudanese police force. The vessel was also carrying building materials for Libya, he said.

Next thing we know, you'll be trying to link this to JH15, gay marriage, Benghazi, Chicago gun bans, Margaret Sanger, pedophilic priests, and the implosion of the GOP.

I'd bet good money on that. We already know that Amb. Stevens was meeting with Turkey emissary at Benghazi to ship arms from Libya to the Syrian rebels via Turkey.

Ah, thank you Saudi Arabia...from that vast right-wing conspiracy think tank PBS...links and excerpt below.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontl...madrassas.html

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/saudi/

Saudi Time Bomb
Analysis Madrassas

A madrassa is an Islamic religious school. Many of the Taliban were educated in Saudi-financed madrassas in Pakistan that teach Wahhabism, a particularly austere and rigid form of Islam which is rooted in Saudi Arabia. Around the world, Saudi wealth and charities contributed to an explosive growth of madrassas during the Afghan jihad against the Soviets. During that war (1979-1989), a new kind of madrassa emerged in the Pakistan-Afghanistan region -- not so much concerned about scholarship as making war on infidels. The enemy then was the Soviet Union, today it's America. Here are analyses of the madrassas from interviews with Vali Nasr, an authority on Islamic fundamentalism, and Richard Holbrooke, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. (For more on the role of madrassas in producing militant Islamists, see the story of Haroun Fazul.)

Richard

I quoted from the article where I first saw the post. They were not my words. I posted the links from the other two articles so that anyone reading all three could make up their own minds.

I don't appreciate the snarky attack Richard. I haven't done that to you in the past; and I didn't expect it here. You simply have confirmed what I have always thought of you - QP or not.

There are thousands of Syrian refugees settling in different areas of the former East Germany where there are also thousands of neo-Nazis and neo-Nazi sympathizers.
