The ambassador of Turkey 🇹🇷 send a usb stick to the LIBE committee, the working group that investigates @Frontex and the @HCoastGuard way to guard the 🇬🇷🇪🇺 borders for illegal entrance of migrants.

The LIBE committee members europarl.europa.eu/committees/en/…

Where were you @vozemberg ?
And the activists machinery are getting to work
Even though the meeting isn’t only about 🇬🇷🇪🇺 borders, Tineke Strik, also ViceChair of 🇪🇺🇹🇷 Forum, does not abolish her interest, which is, how can more ppl cross into🇬🇷. #2obvioUS
She goes a step further, proposing that NGOs could submit their “facts findings” to 🇪🇺in the future
Erik Marquand, MEP and founder of the NGO LeaveNoOneBehind wants more ppl in. Always focused in the 🇪🇺🇬🇷🇹🇷 borders, since this is where his NGO is operating. He asks, what about, let’s say a boat of 40 ppl, that don’t seek asylum?

Taking a walk around twitter, I came across an interesting tweet and decided to follow the leads.

Let me show you. This is the one.
So who is TopologicalA? Image
It turns out TopologicalA is an other NGO of course interested in borders, migration and of course borders surveillance.

topologicalatlas.net/borders ImageImage
As they inform themselves, they are funded by three parts:

Europe itself erc.europa.eu
CRA gold.ac.uk/architecture/
Goldsmiths University gold.ac.uk
( CRA is actually part of Goldsmiths University)

Is that public money? 💰 ImageImageImage

🧵 Άγιο Όρος - Athos

The Holly Mountain is an autonomous area in northeastern Greece that is the site of several Greek Orthodox monasteries founded in the 10th century and has kept faith, tradition and authenticity through centuries to today.
I saw this wonderful documentary about it, and this is the reason I share it with you. The history and the value of this place is enormous. Impossible to describe in a tweet.
But it is for eastern Orthodox Christians a sacred place if pure faith and wisdom.
Mount Athos has a self-administered status since Byzantine times. The monks work on the land and they preserve the nature they live in. They are known for their hospitality and well cooked meals served to their guests.

At the first meeting of the Frontex Scrutiny Group with Leggeri and Johansson yesterday, mr. Erik Marquardt addressed following question to @YlvaJohansson directly accusing a member state,Greece:
“We have discovered”- Who is he referring to as “We” Mrs @YlvaJohansson ?
@YlvaJohansson you answered on member state Greece: “I am very concerned that we have repeated from reliable sources on illegal, sometimes violent pushbacks.” @MargSchinas @PrimeministerGR @EP_Hellas Is 🇬🇷to be openly accused in that manner by @YlvaJohansson & on what ground?
Mr. F. Legerri @Frontex in his concluding remarks points out the factual situation on 🇬🇷 borders, the “3rd country”
& I will add your reliable source @YlvaJohansson - you are openly siding with the “3rd country’s” propaganda against 🇬🇷national security.

🧵
In 🇩🇪 organisations with links to the MB are under observation by the domestic security service, the Protection of the Constitution off (BfV).However, the movement is not prohibited in 🇩🇪 so it has space to spread its influence through infiltration strategies or “entryism Image
“Formation of Umbrella Organizations
Brotherhood associations are often difficult for politicians to see in 🇩🇪 and even when they are noticed the primary interest of politicians is to keep this from the public to avoid reputational damage, rather than expose MB entryism.”
The end result is that Islamist organizations get to posture as victims, rather than purveyors, of discrimination and racism; these groups get to pretend to be simply organizations representing regular Muslims and migrants; and any criticism is attacked as “anti-Muslim racism” 👇
