    McCain Uses Photo Of Dead Syrian Child To Demand U.S. Take In Refugees

    McCain is wrong - The genocide is being wagedon Christaians and we are not accepting them. The majority of the "migrants" are young men, probably the very same ones that dropped their weapons and ran from ISIS. Cowards.

    Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain used a well-known photo of a drowned Syrian boy to give a floor speech about the Syrian refugee crisis but failed to give the picture context.

    The three-year old boy, Aylan Kurdi, reportedly drowned along with his mother and five-year old brother when the family attempted to take a small dingy from the Turkish resort town of resort town of Bodrum to the Greek Island of Kos.

    The ultimate goal was to make it to Europe so Aylan’s father, who brought the family into Turkey three years ago and worked in construction, could get his teeth repaired. However, McCain was either unaware or did not want to acknowledge the most recent information about the boy and his family. He went on to say that the photo “opened the world’s eye to this devastating crisis.”

    “This image has haunted the world. But what should haunt us even more than the horror unfolding before our eyes is the thought that the United States will continue to do nothing meaningful about it,” he said.
    The Arizona Republican told the press to stop calling them “migrants” and that they are “refugees fleeing from torture, from murder, from killing, from genocide.”

    Story Begins To Unravel About Drowned Syrian Boy

    Details about the Syrian family of the three-year old boy, who drowned as they made their way to Europe from Turkey on a small dingy, began to emerge recently and some things do not add up.

    According to The Wall Street Journal, Abdullah Kurdi, the little boy’s father, was living in a relatively safe area in a Turkish town for three years while working on construction sites for 50 Turkish lira (roughly $17) a day.

    However, Kurdi told a Syrian radio station it was not enough to support himself and his family and he relied on his sister Tima Kurdi, who is a 20-year resident of Canada, to assist in paying the rent.

    It should be noted that Tima told reporters Thursday that the family just came to Turkey last year, even though WSJ points out he came to Turkey three years ago, and his Facebook “shows pictures of the family in Istanbul crossing the Bosporus and feeding pigeons next to the famous Yeni Cami, or new mosque.”

    Tima told WSJ that their father was still in Syria and advised his son to leave Turkey and go to Europe and have his teeth fixed. Once in Europe, he was instructed to find a way to bring his entire family over from Turkey. Tima wired €1,000 ($1,100) to her brother for the trip one month ago.

    According to The Ottawa Citizen, Turkey does not register thousands of Syrian Kurdish refugees in the country exit visas, as the UN does not register them as refugees. “I was trying to sponsor them, and I have my friends and my neighbours who helped me with the bank deposits, but we couldn’t get them out, and that is why they went in the boat. I was even paying rent for them in Turkey, but it is horrible the way they treat Syrians there,” Tima told The Ottawa Citizen.

    Other reports say the family was fleeing Kobane in Syria, an area that ISIS attacked previously, but the WSJ report as well as others say the family wanted to leave Turkey for reasons that were not ISIS or war related.

    WSJ notes that Abdullah called her just before he was due to leave Turkey, he told his sister he planned on bringing the entire family with him to Europe, claiming his wife could not support their two sons alone.

    “If we go, we go all of us,” Ms. Kurdi recounted him telling her. She said she spoke to his wife last week, who told her she was scared of the water and couldn’t swim.

    “I said to her, ‘I cannot push you to go. If you don’t want to go, don’t go,’” she said. “But I guess they all decided they wanted to do it all together.”

    The family boarded a 15-foot boat intended to take them from the Turkish resort town of Bodrum to the Greek Island of Kos.
    According to earlier reports, the family’s application for asylum in Canada was rejected by Canada, but Canadian immigration authorities told the BBC they had no record of receiving an application for refugee status from Abdullah. Tima later admitted the asylum application for the family was never submitted.

    Tragically, the boat capsized Wednesday. Twelve passengers died as a result including Abdullah’s young sons and wife. He was the only member of his family to survive, but the photo of his 3-year old drowned child on a Turkish beach made headlines across the globe.

    One Australian politician blamed the father for the death of the boy when the Australian Parliament debated the refugee issue. Senator Cory Bernardi told Australia’s Parliament he was not swayed by “these emotive arguments, and in particular to characterise this as some sort of humanitarian mission”.

    While acknowledging that the boy’s death was a tragedy, he said: “That boy and his family had lived in Turkey for three years. The money for that boy’s father to pay the people smugglers was sent from Canada.” He added, “The father sent them on that boat so the father could get dental treatment. They were in no fear, they were in no persecution and they were in no danger in Turkey.”

    I told you these stories were all fake. These are not "refugees", they're swindlers posing as "refugees" trying to get somewhere to get something for free.

    McCain is such an idiot. So I truly hope Arizona gets rid of this Globalist Geezer and shuts him down.

    And someone, probably Trump, needs to call CNN out for their terrible reporting on this refugee issue. Their reporter, Arwa Damon is not quoting actual statements, she's not investigating the backgrounds of the people she interviews, most of the time she's just walking around making up sad stories. That is not journalism. That's fairy-tale telling, and in the real world, we just call it LIES. She's an Arab American who obviously holds more interest in the people of the Middle East than she does for the people of the United States. Otherwise, she would be asking them about their CLEAN NEW SHOES, that show no signs of wear or tear least of all having trudged through the wilderness for months seeking "liberty".

    Everyone is being conned, it's time to call it out, and I'm so glad someone got to the bottom of the boy on the beach story. Wow, way to go Wall Street Journal!

    How dare McCain use a picture of a drowned child from a boat headed to England for dental work as a basis for our country accepting REFUGEES who aren't really refugees at all.

    And think about this:

    Do we really want members of Congress who can't tell the difference between a boy who drowned in a tragic accident and "refugees fleeing genocide" to negotiate trade or nuclear treaties?

    Well, I think not.

    Trump is absolutely right. These so-called leaders of our country are as stupid as stupid gets.

    I think that his use of the photo shows what a huckster he is and I question his endgame.

    If he wants Syrians in AZ and will retain them there, let Arizonans deal with it, he is their Senator many times elected. his TX resident wants zero Syrians brought here.

    McCain, as is typical, if he is verbalizing while alert or in his dreams, he is at best less than genuine. but usually bald faced lying!

    Aylan Kurdi’s family had FREE housing in Turkey, while father’s story is full of holes

    Posted on September 4, 2015
    by ADMIN


    4 million Muslims pretend to escape 30,000 ISIS fighters who are not even near their towns, cities and even countries. This kind of mass-migration fraud is a medieval war strategy and it’s called Hijrah. It’s part of jihad.

    Ok, so let’s pretend that they are victims of war and need to escape. Very easy to resolve. Pressure the 49 Islamic countries around the world to take them all in. Block them from all and total entry into the West. If the Islamic countries don’t take them in – put trade sanctions on them. Watch and see how quickly this mass-migration flood will come to an end when the Muslims realize that they can’t get their Hijrah-jihad to work.

    Abdullah Kurdi’s story is made-up. But his lies are now being used and rewarded by the media in full blown propaganda, while pressuring policies to force Europe to take in more economic migrants who have never experienced a war zone. The dead toddler pornography is a dream-come true <acronym title="Google Page Ranking">PR</acronym> campaign serving ISIS and their overwhelming Muslim supporters.

    Abdullah was never on that boat to watch his wife and children drown. That’s why he was the only survivor. The first time he learned of their death was from the hospital after the photos of his young son was circulating in the media. Listen to all the contradictions and holes in his story.

    This was an attempt to send his wife and children into Europe before his own arrival to apply for refugee status as a lone woman with children, while they never even lived in a war zone.

    Unfold the #migrationfraud :
    .
    After leaving from what they say was a war zone (Syria is huge and the entire country is not a war zone) the Kurdi family was given FREE housing in Turkey and had been there for THREE years. Abdullah Kurdi was not in any war zone. He was safe, he had food, he had over $4,400 in cash, which is over 13,000 Turkish Lira – so why did he leave?

    Frankly the whole story simply doesn’t add up.

    This is what he told the press initially, as reported in the Guardian yesterday:

    “I took over and started steering. The waves were so high and the boat flipped. I took my wife and my kids in my arms and I realised they were all dead,” he told AP.

    Let’s look at all the details of his story.

    The report according to Abdullah’s own words is that he lived in Turkey for three years and prior to that he had lived in Damascus. His sister makes the story even more confusing saying that Abdullah was a barber originally from Damascus, who fled from Kobani to Turkey but “dreamed of a future in Canada” for his family. Was he living in Damascus or Kobani? Kobani is over 500 kms from Damascus.

    After “fleeing” from “war zone” Kobani he now wants to return to Kobani to attend — a funeral. Huh…? So he’s safe to fly back by plane to Kobani and attend a funeral. And guess what? ISIS was not even in Kobani when Kurdi claims his family “fled” from ISIS.
    ISIS was not in Damascus either three years ago when Kurdi claims he lived there. ISIS entered only a small rural part of northern Damascus last year and targeted a remote refugee camp with “Palestinians” earlier in 2015 and were pushed out. ISIS is present in a quarter of the country in Northern Syria, not in the South.

    While Western media reports that he was trying to reach Canada, Swedish media are being given reports by Kurdi that he was trying to reach Sweden and that he had been receiving FREE housing in Turkey for three years. Abdullah claims he was trying to reach Canada but was denied asylum – while Canadian authorities say they have never received any application from him at all. Which story does Abdullah want to stick to?

    What we’re reading here is a story about relatives serving as people smugglers to other relatives living in Turkey. This is what happened with Kurdi. His own family in Canada are his people smugglers trying to come up with ways for him to illegally fraud the immigration system, and make up stories about threats that he never experienced.

    The father, Abdullah Kurdi, is giving different stories depending on who he is talking to. His sister Fatima gave an account of a phone conversation with her brother Abdullah that is reported in the DailyMail. That story is different to the one Abdullah Kurdi gave to the press.

    Listen to the bits here from DailyMail:

    Reliving the moments after the dinghy capsized and the Mediterranean waves crashed around them,Abdullah Kurdi described how he’d pleaded with his sons to keep breathing, telling them he didn’t want them to die.
    It was only when he looked down at their faces and saw blood in Aylan’s eyes that he realised the boys had died in his arms and he was forced to let them go.
    Looking around in the water, he spotted the body of his wife Rehan ‘floating like a balloon’. She had also drowned.

    …and the version his sister Fatima gives, the DailyMail, is here:

    Yesterday his sister Tima – who is also known as Fatima – revealed how the grief-stricken father had relived the final moments of his boys’ lives in a phone conversation she’d had with him.
    ‘When a bigger wave came and flipped the boat upside down, Abdullah right away caught both his kids and tried so hard with all the power he had to keep them up from the water, screaming, ‘Breathe, breathe, I don’t want you to die!’,’ she said.
    ‘In his left arm was Galip and he saw he was dead and he told me, ‘I had to let him go’,’ she added.
    Then he looked at Aylan and could see blood from his eyes, so he closed them and said, ‘rest in peace my son,’ she went on to say.

    She said that while he was still in the water, Abdullah saw his wife’s dead body floating in the water ‘like a balloon’, causing him to struggle to recognise her.

    Sobbing uncontrollably Abdullah yesterday recalled his terror when the flimsy and overcrowded dinghy overturned, causing the night to be pierced by the screams of his fellow Syrian refugees as he clung on to his wife.
    I was holding her, but my children slipped through my hands,’ he said.
    ‘We tried to cling to the boat, but it was deflating. It was dark and everyone was screaming. I could not hear the voices of my children and my wife.’

    The wife was ‘a balloon’ in less than three hours ? The rate of decay to a dead body in water is not instant. Obviously Abdullah had no idea how dead people in water decay and he knew at some point they would bloat, so he described his wife in a condition of decay that takes days to mature. Here from The Forensic Library is a description:

    Bloated (2-6 days)

    This stage of decomposition includes the first visible signs of decay, namely the inflation of the abdomen due to a build-up of various gases produced by bacteria inside the cadaver. This bloating is particularly visible around the tongue and eyes as the build-up of gases cause them to protrude. The skin may exhibit a certain colour change, taking on a marbled appearance due to the transformation of haemoglobin in the blood into other pigments.

    Although Abdullah claims to have seen the dead bodies of his two children and his wife after their boat was hit by two large waves, his story then changes and he claims that he made it safely to the beach. He now assumed that the wife, who had laid bloated and drowned, and the two small boys who he had seen drowned right in front of him and he knew were dead, had managed somehow to make it alive to the beach. He could not find them on the beach so he assumed they had “become scared and ran away”. He now sees these dead people nowhere. But he only finds the “truth” about their death after going to the hospital where their bodies were kept.
    Can someone explain to us how dead bodies run away? In other words, he only knew they were dead after the pictures of his son started showing up in the media reports. Here’s his own account reported in the DailyMail:

    Over the following three hellish hours in the water, [in the short time his wife turned onto a ‘balloon’ – a sign of decomposing that only occurs 2-6 days later] Mr Kurdi battled for survival, while frantically searching for his sons and his wife, who had also been pulled from his reach. He found one childbut it was too late – the boy had drowned.

    ‘My first son died from the high waves,’ he said. ‘I was obliged to leave him to save the other one. I tried to swim to the beach by following the lights.

    ‘I looked for my wife and child on the beach but couldn’t find them. I thought they had got scared and had run away and I went back to Bodrum.

    ‘When they did not come to our meeting point I went to the hospital and learned the bitter truth.’ (How can he learn the bitter truth when he claimed earlier that he saw them die and tried to save one of the sons, who had already drowned? He then attempted to save the second one who was dead with bloodied eyes, while finding his wife floating and bloated in the water. How can dead people like this run away?)

    The barber had paid people smugglers £2,900 over the course of three attempts to reach Greece from a refugee camp in Turkey.
    But he has told friends he wished he had also drowned to be spared a lifetime of self-recrimination over the family’s desperate gamble for a better life.

    Pictures of Aylan and Galip have been shared by social networkers around the world, prompting calls for politicians to do more for fleeing Syrians.

    So you can hear that we have completely different stories coming from Abdullah that don’t even match.

    He doesn’t even know what exactly happened. This man was never on that boat and never watched his wife and children drown. That is why he was the only survivor without any injuries and without any need for medical help, although he claims to have undergone a violent and desperate situation for over three hours where everyone else drowned. He is lying and making the story up. We’ve worked long enough with these humanitarian issues to recognize a tall tale. Basically, the fragmented and fabricated story indicates to us that the wife and children were sent to arrive before him as a lone mother and children (easier to get accepted). Of course, this advice would come from his own family already living in Canada and parts of Europe who know more about the dhimmitude of Europe, now serving as long-distance human smugglers. The wife has clearly been told to go first, get her refugee case handled, and then help to get him entry at a later date where he can join them with a forged passport.

    It’s all fraud. All of this explains his dry crocodile tears. No wonder his sister Fatima was crying more than her brother who lost his entire family. She suffers from deep guilt that their strategies caused the death of a woman who could not swim and was afraid, and the death of two small children. They’re intentionally frauding the system. And now they also push propaganda to open the floodgates to the rest of these fraudsters.

    It is however, noteworthy to hear this comment coming from Abdullah Kurdi that he does not mind sacrificing his wife and children for his agenda, according to his sister Fatima in Canada:

    ‘Of course it makes me sad that it’s taken this [tragedy] to make people realise what is going on,’ she said, adding: ‘Abdullah said, its ok if it has to be my kids and my wife who wake up the world, its ok. If it’s been written to happen that way, it was supposed to happen.’

    And the Turkish people smuggler President Tayyip Erdogan responded to the deaths in his country’s waters by saying: “European countries, which have turned the Mediterranean, the cradle of the world’s oldest civilizations, into a cemetery for refugees, shares the sin for every refugee who loses their life.”

    Tragic Aylan Kurdi’s father was the PEOPLE SMUGGLER driving doomed boat, claims survivor

    THE migrant father of the three-year-old whose lifeless body washed up on a Turkish beach rocked the world has now been accused of being the people smuggler who captained the ill-fated boat trip to Europe.

    PA
    Aylan Kurdi's father was the people smuggler driving the boat, claims a survivor

    The shocking claims made by a woman who lost two of her three children during the perilous journey were revealed by her Australian cousin to a broadcaster last night.

    Zainab Abbas said Abdullah Kurdi, the father of Aylan, was the driver of the boat which capsized in the Agean Sea and had lied to the world.

    Mr Kurdi has previously claimed he took over the wheel at the dinghy when the captain panicked and jumped ship into the water.

    An outpouring of sympathy and support for refugees followed the photo of Aylan's body washed up on Turkish shores.
    Yet some have begun to pick holes in Mr Kurdi's story, with some claiming the images were manipulated and Aylan's body had been moved in order to take a more effective photos, according to the French newspaper Le Monde.

    Ms Tahseen told The Sydney Daily Telegraph her cousin told her Mr Kurdi was definitely at the wheel of the doomed boat for the entire journey.

    Mrs Abbas was at the back of the boat with her two children who died Haider, 9, and Zanab, 11, while her husband Ahmed Hadi was at the front with their youngest daughter Rawan when boat flipped.

    Ms Tahseen said: “Zanab asked Abdullah Kurdi for life jackets. He gave them four but they were five. She didn’t wear a life jacket.

    "He was the one driving the boat right from the start. When they set off five minutes in he was looking left and right, worried, then he was speeding. Even his wife was screaming at him to slow down."

    But Ms Abbas told her Sydney-based cousin Lara Tahseen that she paid $10,000 for the voyage which was captained by Aylan's father.

    Ms Tahseen said: “He was a smuggler, yes, he was the one driving the boat."

    She claimed another human trafficker to whom the Abbas family paid the money had told them the captain was taking his own children on the voyage.

    Ms Abbas said via her cousin: "He said ‘don’t worry, the captain of the boat, the driver, is going to bring his two kids and his wife.

    The Iraqi mother said the boat was travelling faster than its capacity and was overcrowded with desperate refugees.

    The family of five was told there would only be six people on the boat - but when they boarded there were 14.
    Ms Abbas told her cousin: "He was going crazy, like speed."

    Turkish authorities have charged four men over the incident which killed at least 12 people - but Mr Kurdi was not one of them.

    The devastated father denied the claims last night, saying: "I lost my family, I lost my life, I lost everything, so let them say whatever they want."

    Ms Abbas, her husband and their third child survived the tragedy. The bodies of their two children who perished arrived in Baghdad on Wednesday.
