Malta is playing very dirty with Italy over the latest “boat-load” of almost 200 illegal immigrants, who, after being deck-transferred to the Italian Coast Guard (part of the typical migrant-relay-race) now sit at sea awaiting a suitable solution. The absentee EU leadership seems ill-inclined to ruin their regularly scheduled weekend by dealing with the issue and, as we know, Italy has made their toughened stance on illegal migration abundantly clear.
During the late hours of Wed, on into early morning of Thursday, August 16th, the Maltese Navy generously escorted a “boat” of 180 illegal immigrants through their territorial waters, claiming the “migrants” on board declined Maltese assistance and preferred to continue sailing to their Italian destination. At some point, the Italian Coast Guard had no choice but to intervene, before the curiously still-unnamed 'source' vessel and its un-vetted, potentially dangerous cargo could land un-checked on Italian shores.
From Twitter Aug 18 (translated by Yandex):
"Exclusive images of an inflatable dinghy with 70 immigrants, scafista to the guide and the powerful motor, in maltese waters. Someone will see fit to intervene, or shall send them once again in the direction of Italy???"
---Matteo Salvini, Italy’s Interior Minister

The Parrots Weave a Fine Tale
The most significant issue now is not the territorial dispute, nor is it the extended passengers’ stay at sea. The majority of MSM news outlets included in top search returns – from WaPo to the China Post – are parroting the same headlines – sourced from the Associated Press – and missing the same key details. Either they’re hiding some very critical facts – like the name of “the boat” the migrants came from, which shoreline they launched from, their countries of origin and the reason for their migration – or these big-budget “news outlets” are unanimously incapable of providing relevant, essential details in this important international story.
Today’s Headlines from Washingtonpost.com, USnews.com, Newsok.com, Newser.com, krqe.com. kristv.com, chinapostnownews.com and others:

From Gefira.org:
MOAS boats are stationed in Malta, from where they operate. Once loaded with immigrants, they pass the port of Valletta and head for Italy to unload their human cargo in Europe.

What prompted the tiny resort-nation of Malta – a nation that has taken a mere fraction of the hundreds of thousands of “rescued migrants” that Italy has – to carry out this highly provocative action? Could it be that the Malta-based NGO – called MOAS – stands to lose a fortune if Italy succeeds in fully exposing the illegal immigrant ferrying services and questionable relationships with human traffickers that NGO organizations are engaged in?
From RT.com:
Investigating Sicilian prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio told the Senate Defense Commission on Wednesday that several members of multiple humanitarian organizations are under investigation on suspicion they may be working with people smugglers.
Migrant rescue charities in the Mediterranean have been under intense scrutiny in recent weeks with the Italian government backing prosecutors’ claims “100 percent” that Libyan traffickers and rescuers were in contact, offering a “taxi” service bringing migrants to Italy.

A US-owned and managed operation, Migrant Offshore Aid Station relies on its fortuitous location and tight relationship with the Maltese navy to conduct its business. To be clear, although many NGO orgs are set up as charities, mounting evidence suggests these organizations are also businesses which profit in one way or another from human trafficking and illegal immigration in the Mediterranean – especially to Italy. There is much more to this story than the “media” is reporting on. "INCOMING!"
Rescues at sea are transfers that went bad. "Rescues" are staged well in advance. The deaths that the "media" are so quick to report on are actually caused by those involved in encouraging illegal transit and poorly conducted operations at sea, then blamed on Europe by the deceptive media. It is further worth noting that those who go "missing at sea" provide a super-convenient method of solving some of the most persistent missing-person ledger errors that arise in the trafficking biz.
