More On Ceuta, Melilla and the Fall of Europe
It is shocking to see what is happening there:
With the situation in Spain and northern Morocco getting worse by the hour, this is my second piece today on the invasion of Spanish territories there. It is scary as all get out to watch this unfold, with so many videos live streaming all this. What we are seeing is utterly horrific.
Two things can be said about this. For so long now so many voices have been warning about how the West will be destroyed as leftist leaders allow for mass migration and open borders and turn their nations into third world hell-holes. This is just what we are now witnessing there.
See just one video: https://x.com/RadioGenoa/status/2083082882717811150/video/1
And history also should have taught us lessons here. But as we ignore history, we repeat its mistakes. Let me then offer a quick timeline on Islamic expansionism, and then offer more commentary on the situation in Spain.
History
Islam has always spread by the edge of the sword. Now clueless Western leaders are allowing it to spread by open borders and the new religion of multiculturalism and ‘tolerance’. So we must be aware of some quick facts here in Islamic history and expansion, with special reference to Spain.
570-632 The life of Muhammad
633-638 Syria, Mesopotamia (Iraq) and Jerusalem fall
642 Egypt falls
651 Persia falls
661–750 Islam advances through North Africa (the Maghreb)
669 Morocco falls to Islam
711 Islam crosses into the Iberian Peninsula (Spain)
715 Spain falls
716 Lisbon falls
732 The Battle of Tours halts the Islamic advance into France and beyond
1453 The fall of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire
1492 The last Muslim ruler of Granada surrenders to Ferdinand and Isabella, ending Islamic political rule in Spain
1683 The Battle of Vienna defeats the Ottoman army
See a few pieces I have penned looking at some of these events in more detail:

Spain has had a long-standing history (nearly 800 years) of being under Islamic domination. And now it is looking like it might once again fall to Islamic conquest. But this time it will not happen by the edge of the sword but by West-haters such as Pedro Sánchez. His pro-Islam and pro-immigration policies may well result in Spain falling once more.
Commentary
So many are shocked by these events and speaking out. In addition to numerous comments I shared in my previous piece, here are more:
Laura Ingraham: What a joke. Another failed European leader complicit in destroying his own country and culture.
Sun Tzu: A wicked man is capable of burning his own nation to the ground so that he may rule over its ashes.
Benny Johnson: Muslims have conquered Spain before. Spain was the jihadist enclave of Europe not too long ago… Then hundreds of thousands of Christian Spaniards gave their lives to violently eradicate Islam from Spanish shores and establish a Christian kingdom. That Kingdom is foundational to Western Civilization. Spain needs to remember who they are. They are a Christian nation — The proud civilization that repelled third-world barbarism and communism from the West. The illegal Muslim migrant invasion of Spain is an attack on Christendom itself — its biological, political and religious warfare. Democrats will do this again to America the first chance they get. We must fight back…
Santiago Abascal: The Iranian regime and the Venezuelan one have been behind the financing of the far left in Spain over the last 15 years; that’s why Pedro Sánchez is the ayatollahs’ best friend in Europe and Maduro’s best friend.
Nicholas Lissack: I call upon His Majesty King Felipe VI to invoke Article 62 of the Spanish Constitution, dismiss Pedro Sánchez as Prime Minister and appoint an alternative. The migrant invasion in Ceuta proves Sánchez is determined to destroy Spain and Europe with it. Act now! Save the West!
Alex Armstrong: So rather than summon the Moroccan ambassador, Spain has gone after Italy for declaring it would suspend free movement between the countries. The left truly are something to behold.
Rupert Lowe MP: We are being invaded, and Europe needs to wake up before it’s too late. Do that, now, or we’re all going to lose far more than any election.
Nigel Farage. It is time to wake up. This is a battle for the future of our civilisation. I can’t put it any more plainly than that.
Elon Musk: Europe is committing suicide.
Gad Saad: It is baffling how treasonous Western politicians are. Castrated, weak, lobotomized ideologues.
Marco Rubio: Mass migration is not some fringe concern of little consequence. It’s destabilizing societies all across the West.
JD Vance: We cannot rebuild Western civilization by letting millions of migrants into our countries. It has to stop.
Brigitte Gabriel: ALL of Ceuta’s political parties just demanded Spain close the border and send in the Army. When even the local left is begging for military intervention, the migrant surge is no longer a “debate.” It’s an invasion. Europe’s southern frontier is collapsing in real time and the establishment still pretends this is manageable.
Casey Krol: Spain 1970: ~3 mosques
Spain 2026: ~2000 mosques
This is what an invasion looks like.
Nick Freitas: Spain encouraged this when its socialist government, legalized hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, primarily from Africa. A Spanish PM praised “replacement theory” as a way to replace right wing Spaniards with immigrants. Electing socialists has consequences.
Naomi Seibt: Rape statistics are about to explode.
Babak Taghvaee – The Crisis Watch: Breaking: Spanish intelligence believes that the invasion of Moroccan immigrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta is a false flag operation orchestrated by the Moroccan government on the orders of King Mohammed VI. Not only are there many pardoned criminals and prisoners among the 12,000 Moroccan nationals who have just arrived at the enclave, but there are also reports of Moroccan army soldiers among them who were brought to the border by trucks and were guided by Moroccan Police.
Dr. Maalouf: Morocco has claimed and tried to conquer Ceuta from Spain for decades. All it took was one far-left government in Spain for that to happen. Ceuta’s population is only 83,000. As many as 80,000 invaders broke in today. This is a full-scale religious war of conquest.
Dr. Maalouf: The current invasion of Spain is worse than the 8th century Islamic invasion. Unlike then, the invaders are now being welcomed. The government has confirmed its plan to legalize as many as 3 million illegals. And everyone is rushing to get in!
Ada Lluch: In Ceuta, Spain, the police & citizens are trying to arrest all the illegal migrants that are invading us. Yet, the migrants are taking full control over the city. And vandalising it. Why the hell do we have an army if we don’t use them when in need?
Gunther Eagleman: The mainstream media wants you to believe Spain’s immigration policies are a model for the world and that every nation should open its borders to anyone seeking entry. They are WRONG.
Gunther Eagleman: Tonight, I’ll be watching the fall of Spain on X… while you watch the “benefits” of mass immigration and multiculturalism in Spain on CNN.
RadioGenoa: North African Muslim criminals are trying to break into Spaniards’ homes in Ceuta to steal everything. They are doing what they do best.
Salva Ortega: This is the border situation just a few meters away; it looks like science fiction, or an image from the movie “World War Z,” but no, it’s Ceuta. When I talk about gravity: They’ve doubled our population in just one night. What will happen next? As a Ceutí, I ask for help.
Ian Miles Cheong: The asylum seekers have started to culturally enrich Ceuta by clashing with Spanish security forces. They are looting stores and setting fire to people’s cars. Spain welcomes them with open arms.
Eric Daugherty: The African migrant invasion is sparking FIRES and EXPLOSIONS in Melilla, Spain, as police struggle to contain the flood The officials of Spain allowing their citizens to be pillaged are committing high treason!
Concerned Citizen: If 30,000 Moroccans just flooded into Spain – no money, no phone, not even T-Shirts. Then where are they all going to stop off for dinner tonight? Where will they all sleep? What are they eating for breakfast tomorrow? This doesn’t make sense.
Tommy Robinson: As the world looks on in horror at the invasion of Spain. Dirty Sánchez just sees voters. Treasonous.
Tommy Robinson: Dirty Sánchez granted instant citizenship to over half a million invaders, a million applied for it. Now they all expect it. Get Sánchez out!
C3: Notice what how the Left labels things. Europeans are Colonizers. But… Africans are Migrants. Middle Easterners are Refugees. Central Americans are Immigrants. All by design…
Eyal Yakoby: BREAKING: Spaniards are now rallying against the left-wing government after allowing 30,000 Moroccans to flood into Spain.
Nioh Berg: Spain liberated their native homeland across 800 years against Moorish colonisers and occupiers from Morocco. Only for their descendants’ socialist government to open the borders and let them all flood their country. I have always loved the story of the Reconquista, especially as an Iranian with the same ambitions. This is so depressing to me. Free Spain from this communist madness.
Nioh Berg: Please understand that the average third world illegal migrant looks at Europe like an all-inclusive hotel and brothel. I’m sadly not exaggerating.
Craig Kelly: Leftist governments around the world are encouraging mass migration to import new voters in an attempt to maintain power indefinitely.
Basil the Great: Ursula von der Leyen has said NOTHING about the mass migrant attacks in two Spanish cities today As Melilla and Ceuta declare a state of emergency she stays silent Why? Because it’s all part of the plan.
Laura Loomer: Tucker Qatarlson & Megyn Kelly said Islam is amazing and if you don’t agree you just hate Muslims. The Muslim men in Spain who broke into the country through the border are going to be perfect citizens. They will bring nothing but joy and peace to Spain. Tucker & Megyn said so.
Comedian Jimmy Failla: Spain makes history as the first people to WIN the World Cup and LOSE their country in the same month.
Humorous meme showing a pic of the situation in Ceuta and a pic of Albanese: Breaking: Anthony Albanese calls Spain’s PM offering to bring some of the migrants from Morocco down to Australia: ‘If they’re of voting age, I’m keen’ he said.
Please keep this situation in your prayers.

It is astonishing to see Western nations just giving themselves away – will our descendants ever forgive our stupidity?
And apparently replacem___ migration (oops, I mean unfettered open-slather mass migration) is just a far-right conspiracy theory. There is one way to quell peoples fear about there being any conspiracy – genuinely and sincerely listen to peoples concerns about this and let them have a direct say (a plebiscite for instance) on the matter.
Yes correct Michael.
I think this rounding up of well fed young Muslim men (some of which are criminals) and letting them into our Christian countries is a last resort by the enemy/Deep State/communists or globalists to take control of Spain and other European countries including us, Bill. Everything else has failed or is failing like their manipulated elections, and now they are being exposed or will be exposed, one at a time like Fauci, George Soros, Obama, Bill Gates etc. If these illegals would attack or vandalize the globalists and leftie politicians might help change minds, but some of them are being paid by these wealthy people. I think this invasion is really too much and will rile most people so it will backfire on the communist leaders letting them into their countries. Let’s pray and hope it does.
Quite so Lynette.
