The Inverted Moral Universe of Asylum Policies Summed Up in One Small Boat

The transporter has malfunctioned and we have entered the evil-Spock world where the officers use agonizers, and rapists get free food, housing, and get access to all the women they could ever want with impunity.

At least it seems we have entered that topsy-turvy world, and Pravda wants you to ignore it. If it weren't for the tabloids and X, you likely would never have heard what a day in the life of small-boat migration is really like, or how the "authorities" are dealing with the crisis. 

I saw this X post and thought, "surely this must be an exaggeration," and indeed the details are a bit blurry, but also basically correct. All the events described apparently did happen on the same day, although it is not firmly established it all happened on one exact boat, and we can't confirm the exact age of the rape victim. 

One one single illegal migrant boat from Africa going to the Canary Islands:

• A 16 year old girl was gangraped

• A toddler was thrown overboard to drown

All of the remaining migrant men, including rapists and murderers, will likely be hosted in Europe as if nothing happened. They will then be distributed into your neighbourhood without your consent or even knowledge.

Sickening.

The only English-language reporting originates in the tabloids, although there are vaguer reports about generic "violence" occurring as migrants cross the ocean. Grok wants me to be more precise about the details, which frankly don't seem that important to me in the grand scheme of things. What matters is that gang rapists who bite girls go free, and babies get tossed off boats for crying, not exactly which boats it happened on. You can read Grok's report at the above link if you want the precision.

Verified: On Sept 16 2026 a migrant boat to Lanzarote saw three men (21/25/30, two Malian one Burkinabe) arrested for gang-raping a Guinean woman after she reported it; witness confirmed. They were released today as it occurred in international waters (National Police, La Voz de Lanzarote, EFE). Victim age not reported as 16. Lanzarote emergency chief Espinosa said on radio a crying 2-year-old was thrown overboard from a boat (Cronicas de Lanzarote). No confirmed "murderers" free; others follow standard processing.

What matters is this: in the world of small boat migration, where international law is ambiguous, evil people who do evil things can get away with it and wind up living next to you as "asylum seekers" we need to be extra-specially nice to because they are "victims." These are the next generation of gang rapists and welfare cheats who will soon be demanding that Sharia law be imposed on everyone else, and dropping their prayer rugs in the middle of the street to show that they can do anything they want, any time they want.

A staggering 85% of the world’s refugees are Muslims, and of that number most are adult men.

Strangely they don’t seek asylum in Saudi Arabia (the birthplace of Islam), Qatar (the home to the Muslim Brotherhood), Syria, UAE, or any of the 50 Islamic-majority countries.  They settle in non Islamic countries in the West.

The takeover is real, all by design, and it’s allowed to happen.

The irony is thick: national governments can't prosecute crimes committed on the high seas. The reason is simple: sovereign powers stop at the edge of international waters, so a local judge has no jurisdiction. 

Borders, you know. They matter. Until they don't, of course. We have to admit illegal immigrants because it is unkind not to, and borders are mere lines drawn by men; but we can't enforce basic laws outside those borders, so predators can do what they like once they cross that imaginary line. 

Make it make sense. Because only in a world where Spock wears a Van Dyke does any of it actually ring true.

RANDOM MAN ON STREET - YOU ARE AN INFIDEL

Nate Freedman, @NateFriedman97, just found out from a random man on the street that he is, in fact, an “infidel.”

WHY?

Because he does not believe in Allah.

Then Nate asks the obvious question: if the Quran speaks about fighting disbelievers, should he be worried?

The answer he gets:

“If you are against our religion, yeah.”

“Should I be killed?”

“Yeah.”

The people who love open borders, mass migration, and migrant caravans to the U.S. border always seem to ignore the reality on the ground, both in Western countries forced to take in all comers and the atrocities that take place along the way. The Biden open-borders crowd ignored the mass violence and rapes that occurred in the caravans, the profits of the cartels, and the crime and human trafficking problems in our own countries. 

They focused on their feelings for their imagined poor, victimized men who only wanted a better life and to take care of us all in our dotage. 

This is how the Left sees the West:

Devon Erickson quote-posted this "movie" with the perfect response:

"I'm going!"

"Okay, bye."

"No, seriously, I said I'm going!"

"Yes, I heard you. Please remember to shut the door behind you."

"No, I meant it! I'm going, right now!"

"Okay, have a safe trip." 

"What, aren't you going to beg me to stay?"

"No, wasn't planning on it. Why?"

"Because you can't survive without me!

"Okay, well, go ahead and leave and we'll see if you're right about that."

"I have a whole bunch of charts and statistics here that prove it!"

"You don't need to convince me. Just leave. If you're right, then that will soon become obvious."

"Fine! I'll just leave then!" 

"You've been saying that for a couple of minutes now, but I don't see you moving towards the door.

"Because you need me!"

"Okay, prove it. Go."

"You'll be sorry!"

"Well, then that'll be my problem, won't it? Cheerio."

"I'm putting my hand on the doorknob, right now!"

"Yes, the next step is to turn it. Auf wiedersehen."

"Aren't you going to beg me to stop?"

"Nope. Wasn't planning on it. Sayonara." 

"Uh... I think I forgot my suitcase..."

"It's right there. I packed it for you. And called you a cab."

I actually am a fan of certain kinds of immigration, and believe that good immigration policies really can be wildly beneficial. Immigrants are statistically more likely to start their own businesses, for instance, and many of our best entrepreneurs are immigrants. The U.S. has, historically, done an outstanding job of attracting the best and the brightest from abroad, and has benefited mightily from doing so.

But none of that was due to mass, illegal migration, and experience shows that some kinds of immigrants provide net benefits, while others are a net negative contribution to society. It's insane to lump them all together. 

For that matter, if you look at the Left's immigration policies, they seem to seek out the worst, not the best. And when we try to deport kidnappers, rapists, and terrorists, they scream the loudest. I didn't see the Left erupt when Trump deported Milo. I did see riots in my city when Trump tried to arrest rapists and pedos. Tim Walz and Keith Ellison pardoned a paedo in an effort to help him avoid deportation. 

Somehow, the underlying social dysfunction of this whole system got summed up in this one small boat, or at least on one day, when barbarian mass migrants all decided to set out to invade the Canary Islands. It was a microcosm of the larger reality in which the West, combining suicidal empathy and legalism, embraced pure evil and invited it inside to destroy all that is right and good. 

A young girl raped and left with bite marks all over her body, and an infant tossed off a boat for crying too much. The perpetrators walk free and will be fed and housed in the name of compassion. 

In a saner time, the authorities wouldn't have even let the boat near shore, and had it somehow arrived, they would have taken the men back out into international waters and executed them as pirates.

In our all-too-civilized time, we look the other way, and doom civilization as a consequence.
