It is said that “a picture is worth a thousand words” and, like most familiar adages, there is much truth in this statement. A single picture is capable of conveying, instantly and powerfully, what it might take a long time and many words to get across verbally. Furthermore, pictures have the ability to speak to the emotions with a voice which drowns out that of the rational argument which speaks only to the intellect.

Pictures, therefore, are dangerous weapons in the wrong hands, for, like words, they can convey falsehoods as well as truths. Moreover, a lie spoken through a picture can have a lasting impact even after it has been exposed and that impact can be stronger than the words through which the truth is revealed.

The media recently treated us to an example of this as they splashed across our television and computer screens and the front pages of our newspapers the image of the body of a drowned, three year old boy, lying dead on a Turkish beach. Virtually every detail of the story that accompanied this image, even down to the name of the boy as initially reported, has subsequently been demonstrated to be at least partially false, yet its emotional impact continues to linger on, exerting a baleful influence on the Western world’s response to the flood of migration from the Middle East and Africa. Due to the sheer numbers involved, the situation calls for realism, cool heads, and long-term thinking, but instead, thanks to this picture, we are getting grandstanding gestures, reeking of sentimentality.

The death of a three year old is a terrible thing, of course, but it is not ordinarily world news, much less world changing news. The purpose of the highlighting of this story by the world media was to present a message, not about the boy himself, but about the wave of migration that is being called a refugee crisis. That message is that thousands of people, displaced by the war in Syria, will die like this young toddler, unless taken in by the countries of the West, as the victims both of the war and of Western heartlessness.

That is the message carried by the first stories that accompanied the image and which, due to the law of first impressions, is the message that endures, regardless of the countless subsequent retractions of the details of the initial reporting. This is a media technique that Professor Bruce Charlton calls “first-strike framing” in his recent book Addicted to Distraction.

There has been plenty the media have had to retract, or at the very least, redact, about this story. Whatever else Alan Kurdi might be a victim of, he is not a victim of either the war in Syria or Western heartlessness. His family had fled ISIS in Syria, yes, but they were already living in safety in Turkey. Nor, as it turns out, had they been turned away by the Canadian Ministry of Immigration, for, contrary to the initial claims of the father and aunt of the boy, the only application that had been filed had been for the boy’s uncle, Mohammed. Yet even if such an application had been filed and rejected, it could scarcely have contributed to the death of the boy, whose destination on this ill-fated boat trip was not Canada, but the Greek island of Kos. Indeed, from the testimony of the other survivors, it is apparent that the responsibility for the boy’s death falls squarely on his father, Abdullah, who has been using the soapbox the world media gave him to point fingers at everyone but himself. According to these other survivors he is a people smuggler and was driving the boat himself when it capsized.

Just as the story about the Kurdi family does not bear up under scrutiny, neither does the larger narrative about the so-called refugee crisis. While undoubtedly many genuine refugees have been created as people have been dispossessed and displaced by the war between the rebels and the Assad government in Syria, especially after the creation of ISIS and the wave of religious persecution that ensued, there is a world of difference between those who have fled to Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey to escape immediate danger and persecution, and the hundreds of thousands, soon to be millions, flooding into Europe across the Mediterranean. To accept these indiscriminately, as the media, humanitarian organizations, leftist politicians, and bleeding heart clergymen demand, without making the vital distinctions between a true refugee and a migrant, and between a migrant and an invader, could only destroy our own countries. It would also do no good for real refugees as we would be letting in the kind of people they are fleeing from along with them and potentially recreating the conditions from which they are trying to escape in our own countries.

According to statistics gathered by the European Union, only about a fifth of those pouring into Europe are actually from Syria. Even more significantly, almost three quarters of these are men. Whatever their country of origin, it is from safe locations to which they have already arrived that they are flooding into Europe. All the evidence points to the conclusion that, contrary to the media narrative, what we are seeing is not the kind of emergency situation that demands a humanitarian response of immediate and unconditional acceptance of any and all claiming asylum but an invasion that must be repelled if Western civilization is to survive.

If progressives in the West are loathe to accept this conclusion, others elsewhere clearly see this invasion for what it is. How else can we explain Saudi Arabia’s offer to pay for the construction of 200 mosques for the migrants in Germany? Refugees are people forced out of their homes, looking for temporary asylum until it is safe to return. This project tells us that in the eyes of the Saudi Arabians, who have not offered to take in their fellow Muslims themselves, this is something much more permanent.

Those who are unwilling to accept this conclusion, inevitable as it is to those with the proverbial eyes to see, hurl against those who bravely speak the forbidden truth, such words as “racist” and “xenophobic” or “inhumane” and “heartless”. These are among the few words in our language that have a power comparable to that of pictures because they too speak to the emotions in a way that the words of a rational argument cannot. It is a power that is abused every time these words are spoken, for they cannot be used in good faith being accusatory words that pronounce their verdict upon the heart, known only to God, while denying the accused what in our legal and judicial tradition is a basic right, that of the presumption of innocence.

These words are weapons in the arsenal of the invaders for this is not a force armed with horses and bowmen, swords and spears, tanks, aircraft, guns and bombs. No, it has much more effective weapons than all of those. It is an invasion force like that described in Jean Raspail’s prophetic novel The Camp of the Saints, armed with our own liberalism and humanitarianism. Its chief offensive weapons, the swords against which we must quickly develop shields or perish, are our self-accusations of racism, and the picture of a drowned three year old boy.

The Beach Boy spectacle, who has been described as the biggest atrocity hoax since the fake Jew Holocaust, has about as many holes as the Holocaust.

Apparently, the boy’s father – whose family was safe in Turkey and who was heading to Europe to get new teeth for free from Whitey – was a smuggler captain.

National Post:

The father of a three-year-old Syrian boy whose body washed up on a Turkish beach is denying allegations that he was the captain of the vessel that capsized killing at least 12 people, including his family.

An Iraqi couple who lost two of their three children in the tragedy have alleged that after the accident, Abdullah Kurdi begged them not to tell Turkish police that he was operating the boat.

Zainab Abbas and Ahmad Hadi shared their story with reporters at Baghdad’s airport, where they arrived earlier this week carrying the small coffins of their dead children, aged 10 and 11.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the family had travelled to the Turkish coastal city of Bodrum from Iraq hoping to find smugglers who could take them into Europe.

They told the newspaper they almost changed their minds about the voyage when they looked at the 4.5-metre rubber boat, but a smuggler reassured them the vessel was safe. The smuggler also introduced them to Kurdi, who was described to them as the boat’s captain.

But in his mind, Kurdi was not a people smuggler, and was instead the victim of low wages and poor dental hygiene – the former resulting in the latter, given that he couldn’t afford proper toothpaste, let alone dental floss.

Kurdi’s “Canadian family [sic]” says he didn’t do nothing.

CBC:

The Canadian family of Abdullah Kurdi, the father who lost his wife and two sons when a boat full of Syrian refugees capsized en route to Greece, says new allegations — from a passenger on the boat — that Kurdi was one of the smugglers running the boat, are “ridiculous.”

“It’s just simply untrue. It’s made up.” Kurdi’s brother-in-law Rocco Logozzo told CBC News in Vancouver on Friday.

…

Zainab Abbas, who lost two children of her own in the tragedy — her nine-year-old son and seven-year-old daughter — told Ten News that Kurdi was part of the group that took US $10,000 from her to transport her family of five.

Now in Iraq and hoping to be granted asylum in Australia, Abbas gives her account of the dreadful capsizing of the boat, and the moment she felt her daughter’s hand slipping from her grasp.

She says that boat was too full and there were not enough life jackets to go around. She also states clearly that Abdullah Kurdi was in charge.

“He was a smuggler, yes, he was the one driving the boat,” she said in an interview translated by her Australian-based cousin Lara Tahseen.

Abbas said that her husband had tried to reason with Kurdi who, she says, was driving the overloaded boat too fast.

“He was going crazy,” she said of Kurdi.

But hey, guess what?

It doesn’t matter.

Doesn’t matter any more than Nigerian Yellowcake uranium.

Damage is done.

An extremely rare pepe was pictured dead on a beach, and now the gates must be permanently opened, because your society is run by Jews who strictly enforce female emotionalism as a basis for moral direction.

Here is a Dutch choir singing a song about how immigrants are welcome to invade their country.

These are the lyrics to the inspirational tune.

You are welcome!
Welcome in my country.

You are welcome!
Stranded here all of a sudden [?]

I want to learn about you!
I want to know who you are!
Tell me all your stories.
I want to understand [you should]

I saw you on a boat.
I saw you on the news and in the papers.

Fear only on your face.
Your daughter in your arms.

So many died…
[Can’t hear what they sing in the next line]

But you made it!
And now I feel your pain.

You are welcome!
Stranded all of a sudden.

I want to learn about you!
I want to know who you are…

Tell me your story
I want to understand what’s it like… [no you don’t!]

Here you are safe.
All your worries will be gone.

We want to help.
We will stand beside you.

We want to laugh and cry with you [mostly crying I think]
You can depend on us! [who needs enemies when one has friends like these!]

You are welcome!

Inspired this, I called up my friend Brian Wilson, and we decided to write a song for the two Kurdish Beach Boys who died in a surfing accident caused by White people in Canada.

Brian said he hadn’t been out of bed in weeks, but that for this, he would call in the heavy machinery to get him into a chair.

I met with him in his living room in sunny California.

“It is a true shame that those boys never got to go surfing in the USA, where surfing is so much safer and the dental care is better” Brian said.

And I was like, “Hey, let’s roll with that.”

In honor of Alan Kurdi and his brother whose name I don’t even know because the media never said it, this is what we came up with:

Co-Written by Brian Wilson and Andrew Anglin

You’re surfing with Allah, now, Alan.

Or deflowering dozens of young sky-sluts. Or whatever.

Allah bless you, and Allah bless all the millions of brown people who get to Europe to live on welfare or die trying.

Rapper 50 Cent, who I am also close friends with, also wanted to be involved in the project and is in the process of doing an Alan Kurdi remix of “Get Rich or Die Tryin.”

He will be remixing the song “money.”

Instead of “Nigga I don’t give a fuck about these hoes, I focus on the money,” the lyric will be sung “Nigga I don’t give a fuck about my kids, I focus on the dental work.”

Hilariously, the Jew media is attacking ISIS for using pictures of Beach Boy as propaganda.

This is after the West has used pictures of Beach Boy as part of the biggest propaganda coup in recent memory, blaming White people for his death.

Also funnily enough, ISIS is apparently against immigration into Europe.

TIME:

The photo of Alan Kurdi, whose name was initially misreported as Aylan Kurdi, lying lifeless on a Turkish beach has been printed in ISIS’s English magazine Dabiq, the Guardian reports, in an article titled, “The Danger of Abandoning Darul-Islam” — or, the Islamic homeland.

“Sadly, some Syrians and Libyans are willing to risk the lives and souls of those whom they are responsible to raise upon the Sharī’ah – their children – sacrificing many of them during the dangerous trip to the lands of the war-waging crusaders ruled by laws of atheism and indecency,” the article says.

Well, I definitely like the ISIS policy a lot better than the Merkel stratagem.

Better days. pic.twitter.com/sdKqfT0zyA
