Από την επιχείρηση μετά την άφιξη των αλλοδαπών στη χώρα (πιο ακριβέστερα στη «χώρα») η ERCI αντλούσε ακόμη 5.000 ευρώ το χρόνο κατ΄άτομο από διάφορα προγράμματα (εκπαιδευτικά, διαμονής, διατροφής) κάτι που ανεβάζει τα έσοδα της εταιρείας στο μισό δισ.το χρόνο. | | | | | |

You did not quote the Greek news links directly in your post because they did not confirm the sensational and excessive slant in your post? | | | | | You didn't bother to click on the links obviously did you ?? Quelle surprise...

| | Re: All about Muslims (in the wake of terrorist attacks in Europe) | Quote: | |  | | | The headline of the BBC article is :
Ekathimerini, which is one of the most read Greek news sites, also covered the story on 31 August, by posting the Reuters article... http://www.ekathimerini.com/232174/a...ce-says-lawyer
Headline :
...and the most recent article about her situation, and that of others like her, was posted here on 16 September... https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/...094948176.html
HEadline :
which rather contrast with the headline of the article I quoted :
Now, what was the point that you're trying to make? | | | | | The very fact that you acknowledge that the subject of the three articles you quote is the fate of the swimmer or her sister RATHER than the Greece smuggling ring should tell you that there is quite some difference.
No doubt you failed to notice that neither the swimmer nor her sister were referred to at all in the gatestone article but according to you the articles are apparently quite the same ??[/QUOTE]
There is no "Greek smuggling ring" other than in the imagination of some alt right authors, reputable news outlets do not publish such allegations without any solid evidence?

The members of Emergency Response Centre International (ERCI) were detained on the Greek island of Lesbos, where thousands of migrants are housed in squalid conditions in cramped camps.
“The activities of an organised criminal network that systematically facilitated the illegal entry of foreigners were fully exposed,” a police statement said.
Members of the group were in contact with migrants on social media groups and “actively assisted” their illegal entry into Greece from 2015 onwards, according to the statement. | | | | | Hilariously enough ekathimerini did in fact cover the story as Blueangel suggested but not in the article she linked to but in one that goes further than the gatestone one : | Quote: |  | | | Greek authorities have arrested two aid workers and are investigating a total of 30 from the same organization on the island of Lesvos on suspicion they smuggled migrants into Greece, spied and laundered money, police said on Tuesday.
Police said in a statement that the suspects, 24 foreign nationals and six Greeks, had been active on the island since at least late 2015 as part of a non-governmental organization, whose name the authorities would not disclose.
Lesvos, not far from Turkey in the northeast Aegean Sea, was the preferred entry point into the European Union in 2015 for nearly a million Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis, and dozens of aid groups operated on the island at the time.
Over 19,000 refugees and migrants have crossed to Greece from Turkey so far this year, according to data from the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR.
Police said the suspected crime ring allegedly “provided direct assistance to organized migrant trafficking rings.”
They said the group obtained “significant amounts of money,” including from donations, without disclosing the amount. The 30 workers are being investigated on a case-by-case basis on suspicion of “establishing and joining a criminal organization, money laundering, espionage, violating state secrets, counterfeiting and offenses against the immigration code and electronic communication legislation,” police said.
They allegedly obtained confidential information on refugee flows from Turkey and illegally monitored the radio communications of the Greek coast guard and the EU’s border agency Frontex. | | | | | |

It's blatantly obvious that Ace1 meant "content of Greek origin" as opposed to "content in Greek language".

What makes me laugh is, in the time he's spent today, getting his knickers in a twist over a 2 week old news story that he's suddenly dug up (quelle surprise indeed  ), I've done 4 loads of washing, booked flights, 3 hotels and car hire, packed my case, made dinner, resolved a billing issue in the UK, had 3 phone calls with friends, and done 2hrs of German homework plus revision.
At the end of all that, I still have no idea what point he was trying to make, but no doubt he'll groan me for asking for clarification...again! | This user would like to thank Blueangel for this useful post: | |

| | Re: All about Muslims (in the wake of terrorist attacks in Europe) | Quote: | |  | | | | | | | | If you'd dug a little deeper you'd have found that two ESRI members who were arrested earlier this year for what seems to be a minor thing, in February if memory serves, got the ball rolling.
However you'd also have found that only one vehicle is supposed to have been used (follow the link in the fourth paragraph). A van. One van. It is simply impossible to move 70'000 people illegally across the border over the course of about two years with a single van. Even if you assume 20 seats, that's five times back and forth each and every day, without any room for pause, maintenance, or any other kind of downtime. Simply not possible.
At the same time you'd also have come across the name Panos Moraitis, founder of ESRI and Aspida Maritime Security Corp. The latter is a mercenary company providing maritime protection services against Somalian pirates, among others.
The connection doesn't seem to be too far-fetched, the various arms could actually feed each other. Whether the allegations have any merit though is yet to be seen - innocent until proven guilty.

Predictably, the media for the hard-of-thinking is referring to this as a "hit-and-run". Had it been a carload of Muslims running down a group of C of E church-goers, whilst screaming anti-Christian sentiment, it would have automatically been "a terror attack".
They don't even try to hide their double standards any more. | The following 3 users would like to thank for this useful post: | |

Positive news | Quote: |  | | | US says worldwide terrorism deaths decreased 27% last year | | | | | And for those who think it all happens in Europe. | Quote: |  | | | "Fifty-nine percent of all attacks took place in five countries. Those are Afghanistan, India, Iraq, Pakistan and the Philippines,"
"70% of all deaths due to terrorist attacks took place" in Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia and Syria. | | | | | Source |
