On May 17th activists connected to the youth wings of Flanders’ Vlaams Belang, Portugal’s Chega, Alternativ Für Deutschland, and other New Right populist groups will be hosting the Remigration Summit in Milan. The event is being marketed as an attempt to de-demonize discussion on European immigration restriction and reframe the conversation around mass deportations in hopes of influencing established conservative and populist parties.

Italian media has connected the summit to Lega, a member of Italy’s ruling coalition whose leader Matteo Salvini serves as deputy Prime Minister under Fratelli Di Italia’s Giorgia Meloni. Salvini was one of the first in Europe to embrace and utilize the slogan of “Remigration,” which his identitarian supporters have cited as their inspiration.

Now in power, the Italian right has mimicked Donald Trump in the United States, representing a new meme-driven populist politics that is falling through the gap between what they say and what they do. The present Italian government sailed to victory in 2022 on a mandate of ending non-European immigration, featuring unambiguous promises to embark in the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. The media savvy Salvini’s profile grew to prominence in 2018, when he was summoned to run the country’s interior ministry as an olive branch hoping to blunt grassroots anti-immigration protests — often led by Fascist and radical ethno-nationalist organizations — which swelled to the thousands, producing whirlwinds that began destabilizing Italy’s notoriously corrupt and undemocratic political patronage system.

The Italian populist right’s commanding victory has produced skin-deep symbolic victories in the fight against immigration, but in executed policy it has been responsible for accelerating the problem. Once the votes were counted, the emphasis was shifted to the legalistic issue of irregular migration, with elected officials brazenly dismissing the spirit of the people’s grievance: too many Asians and Africans in Europe.

Conservative supporters of Prime Minister Meloni and her coalition partners have countered accusations of electoral betrayal by pointing to tangible deliverables on the question of illegal immigration, such as paying the Tunisian government to prevent migrant boat expeditions and later a deal with Albania to build detention centers for asylum seekers to await deportation off Italian soil. Indeed, following an initial surge of migrant arrivals, the Meloni government has succeeded in reducing illegal border entries by 60% from 2023 to 2024, crediting the craftiness of her Albanian deal for the results.

This curtailment of illegal boat migrants, mildly impressive on the surface, has been completely overshadowed by the Italian government’s shocking 2023 overhaul of the Flussi Decree, leading to the country’s biggest expansion in legal migration from Asia and Africa since the early 2000s.

Under the Flussi Decree, Meloni and Salvini have achieved the opposite of remigration. Instead of the mass deportations promised, the alteration to immigration law solves the problem of illegal immigrants by simply granting those illicitly living on Italian soil residency permits, making it significantly more difficult for future governments to deport them.

Additionally, Meloni’s updated Flussi Decree has drastically jacked up the quota for legal immigration from non-EU countries from 30,850 under her center-left predecessor Giuseppe Conte to at least 452,000 for the period between 2023 and 2025. University of Milan migration expert Maurizio Ambrosini estimates that Meloni’s 452,000 new legal migrants are in reality 1.5 million due to Italy’s lax family reunification laws, which enables chain migration and will radically, perhaps permanently, change Italy’s ethnic balance.

The origin of the problem lies in the strong links between Lega and FdI to Italian big business. Meloni, who has governed, to the disappointment of supporters and joy of global elites, as an economic Thatcherite and an Atlanticist neo-conservative, has enthusiastically embraced industrialist, banking, agribusiness and tourism sector claims that Italy’s aging population and low birth rate requires radical increases in imported labor, despite data showing Italy is one of the Eurozone’s leaders in youth unemployment (20%). Meloni’s regime has sought to present its decision to flood the nation with an almost unprecedented number of non-Europeans as a compromise, pointing to a study her government commissioned in 2023 calling for Italy to import at least 833,000 migrants in three years simply to stay economically competitive.

Even if one were to grant the questionable liberal capitalist premise of perpetual labor shortages, the state under Meloni has gone out of its way to actively show a preference for non-white migrants. Following an Italian media generated scandal in 2024 over awarding Argentinian president Javier Milei Italian citizenship (seven of eight of Milei’s great grandparents were immigrants from Italy, the other being Croatian), the Meloni regime was accused of racism for giving a “foreigner” an Italian passport under the country’s jus sanguinis law while denying the same for Africans and Middle Easterners who have lived in Italy for years. Approximately 40% of Argentinians and 30% of Uruguayans are descended from Italian migrants.

In response to the supposed controversy, the Italian government reacted by substantially tightening Italy’s citizenship by descent rules so that it that it prevents most working age descendants of 19th century Italian-Americans, Italian-Argentines, Italian-Uruguayans, and Italian-Brazilians from receiving citizenship and immigrating to Europe. Around 46,000 Argentinians received Italian citizenship from 2023 to 2024 alone, suggesting the existence of a potential pool of 10s of millions of highly assimilable people from the Western Hemisphere that can be attracted to the country. Additionally, the regulatory change has also made it difficult for the children of native-born Italian parents who live abroad to obtain citizenship, potentially making them stateless.

Some Italian political commentators have celebrated these changes, citing that many don’t live in Italy, don’t pay taxes, and don’t speak Italian, in a demonstration of politically correct xenophobia. Shutting the door to new world Italians while whisking it open to Asia and Africa effectively trades Italian-Argentines like René Favaloro, the father of coronary bypass surgery, and Raul Pescara, credited by some with inventing the helicopter, for ethnically incompatible Moroccan and Nigerian Doordashers and Uber drivers.

Lega, a junior partner in the Meloni government, has sought to distance himself from these policies, but Italian patriots have broadly concluded that their performance has been unsatisfactory in respects to politically resisting these changes. Deputy Prime Minister Salvini continues to occasionally gives fiery speeches against immigrants and the corruption of the status quo, but stops short of tending his resignation, making him an accomplice to the largest wave of non-white immigration Italy has seen in decades.

Those seeking remigration beyond campaign slogans and viral antics should look elsewhere.

  2. I blame democracy for this. Only in a democracy (including in “Constitutional Republics”) can a country be ruled for decades by people who never get anything good done and who are disapproved by absolute majority of the population no matter who gets elected.

  3. @Wokechoke

    I always found it peculiar how citizenship by descent laws manage to survive in many European countries. Of course it made sense historically as the redrawing of borders was not uncommon in Europe. But in the modern era anything that implies an ethnic basis to the state draws frothing-at-the-mouth wrath from the liberals.

    It would take someone as insightful and ruthless as Hitler to undo the damage done to Europe and America through immigration that is designed to replace the White populations. Politics won’t fix it because the government, the courts, and the politicians are by and large under the control of the people who want mass immigration and the destruction it brings. Look how a few Marxist judges are keeping Trump from even deporting terrorists and violent illegal gang members. You would literally have to round up the people behind this at all levels, prosecute them as traitors, and publicly hang them while using massive force to deport or kill people by the tens of millions who refuse to leave.

  5. @HT

    One man or woman alone cannot achieve anything, there must be a widespread knowledge and awareness in the society about the happenings. Before the media came by, people were not used to intentional disinformation and propaganda. The western media has succeeded beyond belief in keeping people confused and disoriented. The rise of a populist leader who is aware of what is going on in his society and who also has a course of action planned, is henceforth extremely difficult.

    It’s safe to say the goal is not only displacement of whites, but torturing and impoverishing them as well, just as the Bolshevik ancestors of today’s Jewish elite did to tens of millions of Christians only a century ago and whose grandchildren are doing in Gaza today.

    The author mentions bringing in Nigerians, which is no different than shipping in criminals to prey on white society. The elites’ enduring war of hatred against the Church has been widened into homicidal hatred of whites. The hatred for America and Europe is because they’re still mainly white.

    In America, this hatred and loathing for white society and American culture has been concentrated in a single person, Donald Trump, in whom all evil is concentrated because the left perceives him to be the representative of white America. As a result we see the Democrats, TV News, public broadcasting, and most universities glorifying these vicious illegal gang members because they were brought here to destroy America, while anyone who defends or celebrates America is accused of being a racist. Funny thing how it’s the same in Europe, too.

    Very true about modern democracy which is nothing but a farce. Also as far as the great replacement is concerned relating to niggers, arab sand-niggers, jews, spics in America chinks less so, but did the african niggers get replaced in sub-saharan africa? No. Did the sand-nigger arabs get replaced in Arabia in Asia? No. Did the jews get replaced in their rump state of israhell? No. Did the Hindus get replaced in India? No. Did the Chinese get replaced in China? No. Did the Mexicans get replaced in Mexico? No. Did the Cambodians get replaced in Cambodia? No. So the question arises where did this bullshit notion that Europeans, Americans (who men of European lineage founded this country) Canadians (same as America), Australians (same as America), New Zealand (same as America founded by European men) should get replaced by 3rd world shit! These 3rd world shits have their own countries where there are probably very little Western men living in them or want to live in them. So let them go live in their own god-damn countries. And also fuck the baby-boomer bullshit we are all the same crap. Also importing 3rd world crap to stay economically competitive. Are you kidding me!

    Obviously giving any and every moron the vote and therefore a say in who will run a country is a really bad idea, especially in the era of mass media, which has a tremendous influence on a huge fraction of those likely to vote — no organization I’ve ever been a part of operates that way.

    But regarding the reality of migration happening today, more immediate and relevant is the idiotic, counterfactual, and ultimately malevolent dogma of racial egalitarianism, alongside the blanket taboo on recognizing the reality of irremediable biological differences between the races — both reign throughout the West, preventing the establishment of rational, sensible policy that would prevent the influx of incompatible racial aliens, who in an economic context also represent vastly inferior human capital.

    In one of the links Striker gives is this passage:

    In addition, the full confirmation of that model of ‘reluctant openness’ that has characterized the Italian approach to immigration, combining irregularity as the main route of access with an almost complete overlook of other important dimensions like migrants’ integration.

    A constant in all discussions about migration in Europe is how to ‘integrate’ the migrants, as if an average migrant has the same potential as the average European, and it’s just a question of ‘integration’ — pretty much every country in Europe has a large bureaucracy dedicated to this self-destructive, Sisyphean task.

    As for Salvini, this clown is the worst turncoat of all times in Italy. Just remember what he did during the covid coup: he collaborated with the covidists, the totalitarian mock ‘government’ of the time and his unelected banker PM. Salvini was a strong supporter of vax passports and all the other abuses.

These entities are not activists, they are far from it. These barbaric entities are dirty racist Neo-Nazis. I am of Italian origin, born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. As far as Italy is concerned, it was an African nation occupied since 7 BC (the rise of the Neo-Babylonian Empire) by white Europeans of French and Spanish origins. Therefore, Africans have the right (like the Palestinians in Palestine and American Indian in the U.S.) to live in Italy, not the other way around. So, va a fanculo.

    My great grandparents on my father’s side all immigrated from Italy. More importantly, my great grandfather, who lived in the US from the time of his arrival until his death, never naturalized, that is, he never became an American citizen. Therefore, his son, my grandfather, born in the US, was also an Italian citizen as well as a US citizen, as was my father, as am I. Three or four years ago my brother pursued this avenue and SUCCESSFULLY OBTAINED Italian citizenship. The Italian consulate in Philadelphia made him jump through significant hoops, insisting on proof that my great grandfather Rosario actually lived with my grandfather Amadeo. My brother, aware that they had lived in the Italian section of Philly, a very significant neighborhood at the time, did the needle in the haystack search through the 1900 and 1910 Censuses and actually found the record. Names were misspelled, of course, but it was good enough for the Italian consulate.

    He has informed me that because of the Italian government’s continued bowing to the immigration agenda of Europe, myself, our other siblings, as well as our children, will not have the opportunity to gain citizenship because of the jus sanguinis law.

    Italy was a democracy even when it had no immigrants 50 years ago.

    I remember Italy in the mid 1970s when it was still Italian. I did see one Egyptian in Florence, a dope dealer; a half caste in Naples, and a community of Africans in Genoa, probably stowaways. The only foreigners were White tourists from the rest of Europe, America and Australia. Never saw any subcontinentals. These days … forget it, a disaster, a catastrophe, an immigrant apocalypse.

    I’m usually suspicious of non-Italians reporting on Italia. That said, Mr. Striker has done fine job with his article. The contents are an accurate description of what is presently happening in Italia. The paragraph that begins with “The origin of the problem … ” is particularly observant and germane.

    I would have appreciated Mr. Stiker mentioning that Italia’s biggest problem (that goes back to the very foundation of the nation in 1861) is its complete lack of sovreignity. The country and its citizens have been a colony of the USofAs since 1945 and is completely supine when it comes to the larcenous European Union for decades. Before presenting her list of ministers to President Mattarella, Meloni paid a visit to the American Embassy in Roma. That says it all.

    The commenters in large majority reveal their cluelessness as regards the situation in Italia (and for that matter, Europe). They are simply seizing the opportunity to spout out their ignorant white suprematism.

    It is simply unbelievable to assert that even the most humane persons will not feel some unease at seeing their communities swamped by humans of startling different appearance. But people get on pretty well, so long as the newbies grow gradually, with assimilable numbers. But when, as in Ireland, the ethnic make-up is overturned in a few years, it is untenable, and everyone knows it.
    Even worse is when the newcomers are of different behaviour, habits and customs. Where women walk about in sacks, with even their faces covered, it is an insult to the society. Let alone those that practise female genital mutilation and other acts. Where women are kept immured in the home, the society is being discombobulated-to what end? If an Irishman moved to Saudi and demanded the right to parade in shorts, bare-chested and pissed, it would not go down well, and so much less hundreds of thousands of inebriated Paddys.

    Actually I don’t care if people look different, it’s how they behave. Also if few in number they tend to moderate their behaviour by watching the locals and trying to emulate them. When in large numbers, then they just behave like at home with no consideration for the local norms. Consider also that in many countries it was normal for women to walk alone at night unmolested and unharassed, until … the invasion. Now they have to stay locked up in their homes in fear of going out … and in fear of a home invasion. How is it possible that this was allowed?

    “Luther was a philo-Semite, who in a few years would become a violent anti-Semite, but he was also a Judaizer malgre lui [involuntarily]. Luther did for Christianity what Jochanan ben Zakkai did for Judaism: he turned the evangelical Church into a debating society, in which the evangelical rabbis would offer competing interpretations of scripture with no way of adjudicating differences other than splitting off from whomever one disagreed with.”

    “According to [Heinrich] Graetz [in his The History of the Jews (Philadelphia: The Jewish Publication Society of America, 1894)], ‘The discussion aroused by the Talmud created an intellectual medium favorable to the germination and growth of Luther’s reform movement.’

    [Graetz] apparently shared Luther’s view that the enemy of his enemy was his friend. Graetz supports the Reformation because he sees it as bringing Enlightenment to North Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Prussia, Poland, France and ‘even Spain, the country of the darkest and most bigoted ecclesiasticism and the home of persecution”

    Then with the Catholic Church serious weakened and out of the picture, the mortal sin of usury was now the main weapon in the mopping-up decimation of Europe.

    “Taking him to a high mountain, the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. ‘I will give you all these,’ he said, ‘if you fall at my feet and worship me’.” (Luke 4:8-10).

    “In 1773, Meyer Rothschild met with twelve other wealthy financiers and convinced them that by working together they could control the world revolutionary movement. They could foment wars and revolutions and finance both sides, thereby driving governments on both sides into debt and into dependence on them. This had already happened to some extent through successful manipulation in England. The international moneylenders had financed the removal of the Stuarts, and had put William of Orange on the throne of England in 1689 as William III. In return, William had given the secret moneylenders, who had backed his expe-dition, a royal charter in 1694 to set up the Bank of England. It looked like the nation’s bank, but it was privately owned by anonymous international money men. The new king gave them gold and enormous power over England. In an article in the English newspaper, The Sunday Observer, of Sunday May 22nd, 1988, under the heading: ‘The Hunt For A Royal Scoop,’ it was claimed that at last the identity of the main backer is revealed. It was Francisco Lopes Suasso, described as ‘The richest Dutch Jew of his time.’ It was stated that he once hired the Dutch fleet under Admiral de Ruyter to fight for Spain. Old bank ledgers of the Wisselbank of Amsterdam, now in the city archives, reveal a total of 1.5 million guilders—the biggest transaction in the ledgers—traceable to William. Certainly if Suasso money did not finance the expedition it ‘financed the new King of England soon after.’ According to this article, ‘The Lopes Suasso family (bankers to William III) Exhibition was held in June 1988 in the Jewish museum of Amsterdam.’

    So the so-called glorious revolution of 1688 was anything but a spontaneous English movement against the Stuarts and “Popery.” It was in its essence the financial ruling sect of Jewry mainly…”

    Europe is finished, that’s all I know. The only people who would defend against an invasion like this is Africans. If a bunch of whites tried to flood into Africa and started taking over, raping the women, trying to conquer them, etc. They would fight to the death to defend their continent no matter how shitty it is to live anywhere on it. But they also don’t have leaders over there encouraging the annihilation of their own kind or trying to replace them with outsiders in the first place. The fact that a small band of nation wrecking individuals can convince 80% of the world to commit suicide makes me feel heavily disgusted with humanity. This is why I want something tragic to happen to the likes of Meloni so it can set an example out of her ass.

    “It remains a fact, says the Jewish Encyclopedia, ‘that the Jews, either directly or through their correligionists in Africa, encouraged the Mohammedans to conquer Spain… Wherever they went, the Jews threw open to them the gates of the principal cities, so that in an incredibly short time the Africans were masters of all Spain.’ ” [p. xvi]*

    “… Everywhere the Spanish Jews opened the gates of cities to the conquerors, and the Moslems rewarded them by turning over to them the government of Granada, Seville and Cordoba. ‘Without any love for the soil where they lived, without any of those affections that ennoble a people, and finally without sentiments of generosity,’ says Amador de los Rios, ‘they aspired only to feed their avarice and to accomplish the ruin of the Goths; taking the opportunity to manifest their rancor, and boasting of the hatreds that they had hoarded up so many centuries.’” [pp. 195-196]*

    The commenters in large majority reveal their cluelessness as regards the situation in Italia (and for that matter, Europe). They are simply seizing the opportunity to spout out their ignorant white suprematism.

    I accuse people of ‘cognative dissonance’ far too often, but I must do it again now.

    You have a very advanced case, Victor. How can you praise Striker’s article yet fail to understand or sympathize with the impetus behind it?

    TUR commenters want white populations and white lands to remain white. They may or not be white ‘supremacists.’

    I doubt if a single TUR commenter wishes ill upon any other race. I certainly don’t. We simply want people of other races to remain in their own homelands.

    As for ‘white supremacism,’ what’s wrong with that? It’s an opinion.

    I have considered myself a supremacist in the past. Effectively I still am. But less so.

    In recent years, for example, I find myself less and less willing to claim any general white ‘supremacy’ over the Chinese or the jews.

    Immigration to Italy has dramatically diminished with Meloni and Salvini,

    The article addressed exactly this claim, and no it hasn’t:

    Indeed, following an initial surge of migrant arrivals, the Meloni government has succeeded in reducing illegal border entries by 60% from 2023 to 2024, crediting the craftiness of her Albanian deal for the results.

    This curtailment of illegal boat migrants, mildly impressive on the surface, has been completely overshadowed by the Italian government’s shocking 2023 overhaul of the Flussi Decree, leading to the country’s biggest expansion in legal migration from Asia and Africa since the early 2000s.

    Additionally, Meloni’s updated Flussi Decree has drastically jacked up the quota for legal immigration from non-EU countries from 30,850 under her center-left predecessor Giuseppe Conte to at least 452,000 for the period between 2023 and 2025. University of Milan migration expert Maurizio Ambrosini estimates that Meloni’s 452,000 new legal migrants are in reality 1.5 million due to Italy’s lax family reunification laws, which enables chain migration and will radically, perhaps permanently, change Italy’s ethnic balance.

    “Illegal” immigration is reduced, but legal is greatly expanded. It’s just the standard right wing bait and switch where grievances about immigration are redirected towards red herrings about formality and legality. Countries like “Poland” do the same thing, boasting about having reduced illegal immigration while they bring in the highest number of legal immigrants in Europe for years on end. “illegal” immigration has never been the primary issue in Europe. “Legal” immigration has been the issue.

  89. In response to the supposed controversy, the Italian government reacted by substantially tightening Italy’s citizenship by descent rules so that it that it prevents most working age descendants of 19th century Italian-Americans, Italian-Argentines, Italian-Uruguayans, and Italian-Brazilians from receiving citizenship and immigrating to Europe.

    Around 46,000 Argentinians received Italian citizenship from 2023 to 2024 alone, suggesting the existence of a potential pool of 10s of millions of highly assimilable people from the Western Hemisphere that can be attracted to the country

    This was cleverly done.

    Logically, you’d want to take culturally similar immigrants. Every western euro nation which genuinely needed labor could have taken it from south America, especially the euro descended populations.

    The people behind mass immigration to Europe don’t want that. They want the most unassimilable people possible.

    Their argument that immigration is economically necessary could have been used to justify taking immigrants from Argentina etc.

    So they’ve now cleverly whipped up a little storm about that and then used the storm as an excuse to block that channel.

    As far as Italy is concerned, it was an African nation occupied since 7 BC (the rise of the Neo-Babylonian Empire) by white Europeans of French and Spanish origins. Therefore, Africans have the right (like the Palestinians in Palestine and American Indian in the U.S.) to live in Italy, not the other way around.

    Italians of the classical era were quite the mix of ethnicities, no question, although the nucleus of the Roman empire continued to be dominated by Latians, Greeks, Spanish, and French. I don’t understand your claim that Italy was formerly an African nation. Only parts of North Africa — mainly a narrow strip along the Mediterranean — acquired strong connections with Rome.

    But today’s migrant invaders, many of them North African Arabs, include a larger sub-Saharan African component. In the time of Virgil, Pliny (elder and younger), Tacitus, Juvenal et al., no Roman I know of plopped a sandal into the dark part of the continent. (Probably a few adventurers and explorers did, but their names and exploits have been erased by time.)

    Anyway, regardless of the racial characteristics of Italy two thousand years past, they offer no justification for a heavy black presence in today’s Italy or any European state if that is your argument.

The process took three years and cost around $400.00 for each, including the cost of translating the documents. In Italy, I had to go to the town of my grandmother’s birth and obtain my citizenship documents from the town hall.

    Whites have one or no kids then support someone else’s 10 kids in the Third World because they saw an ad on the internet of some starving kid begging for aid.

    Remember the magazine ads in the 1980s? “You can donate $25 to feed this wretched Afro-spawn … or you can turn the page.”

    Few are so heartless as not to be moved by starving children of any race or country. But the ads were asking us to send money so the youngster could grow up to sire another super-size batch of starving kids, ad infinitum.

    In Italy, I had to go to the town of my grandmother’s birth and obtain my citizenship documents from the town hall. With them in hand, I then obtained my residency permit, my Italian ID card, and my health insurance. Been living in the Old World ever since.

    Was it worth enduring the hassle, time and cost?

    How hard is it for someone not blessed with Italian ancestry to obtain a residency permit without jumping the hurdles for citizenship? Is there any privilege to being a citizen other than voting, a dubious benefit in a land that has had various degrees of corrupt politics for two and a half millennia?

    Hence the poor fucker is always in debt and must work it off. He can run away but with what ? a few Euros in his pocket ? And when the grape season is over he may well be sold to a potato and cabbage farmer in Austria to cover any debt he has. The same applies to the black hoes plying their flesh at the street corners.

    Correct. Italy’s genetic heritage is deeply intertwined with African ancestry, particularly through historical migrations and population interactions spanning millennia. The presence of E-M78 subhaplogroups—E-V12, E-V22, and E-V65—originating in North Africa and later appearing in Mediterranean Europe, including Italy, signals direct trans-Mediterranean gene flow. These haplogroups, which are absent in central and eastern Europe, suggest a unique genetic footprint shaped by African migration rather than southeastern European influences. Furthermore, mitochondrial DNA findings show that Northern African haplotypes, such as U6a, exist in Southern Italy, particularly in Sicily and Basilicata, reinforcing the genetic connections between the two regions. Studies indicate that 1–3% of Southern Europeans carry African ancestry, likely introduced through historical events such as Roman-era movements and Arab migrations. Additionally, haplogroups like L1b1a9 exhibit a clear North African and Mediterranean distribution, with documented instances of African-European genetic exchange dating back 11,000 years. These findings underscore the longstanding relationship between Italy and Africa, demonstrating how migration and cultural exchange shaped Italy’s genetic landscape.

    [MORE]

    The molecular dissection of E-M78 contributes to the understanding of the genetic relationships between northern Africa and Europe. Several lines of evidence suggest that E-M78 subhaplogroups E-V12, E-V22, and E-V65 have been involved in trans-Mediterranean migrations directly from Africa. These haplogroups are common in northern Africa, where they likely originated, and are observed almost exclusively in Mediterranean Europe, as opposed to central and eastern Europe.
    Considering both these E-M78 subhaplogroups and the E-M81 haplogroup, the contribution of northern African lineages to the entire male gene pool of Iberia (barring Pasiegos), continental Italy, and Sicily can be estimated as 5.6%, 3.6%, and 6.6%, respectively.
    https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article/24/6/1300/984002

    The presence of these lineages is probably due to Southern Italy’s central position in the Mediterranean basin, which facilitated the introduction of foreign lineages.
    The mtDNA analysis of the samples from three Southern Italian regions (Basilicata, Calabria and Sicily) revealed a typical pattern within the Mediterranean basin variability. Probably, Southern Italy’s central geographic position in the Mediterranean contributed to the introduction of lineages from Middle East and Caucasus. The close proximity to the African continent would also explain the presence of Northern African haplotypes.
    https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3109/03014460903198509

    within Europe, the Southwestern Europeans have the highest haplotype-sharing with Africans.
    almost all Southern Europeans have inherited 1%–3% African ancestry with an average mixture date of around 55 generations ago, consistent with North African gene flow at the end of the Roman Empire and subsequent Arab migrations.
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3080861/

    It is worth mentioning that genetic links between Europe and North Africa are well established, supporting ancient migratory event from the Franco-Cantabrian refuge toward the Mediterranean regions of Africa ∼9 kya

    L1b1a9 has a clear North African and Mediterranean distribution. It perhaps originated in Northwest Africa (as represented by the Moroccan Jew sequence EU092667) and afterward moved to different European Mediterranean locations (mainly Iberia and Italy).

    A large proportion (65%) of the African-European mtDNAs investigated could be attributed to modern and well-documented demographic routes that existed during the Romanization period, the Arab conquest, and the trans-Atlantic slave trade. However, there is strong evidence pointing to the fact that the remaining 35% of the L-European mtDNAs stand as modern witnesses of sporadic population movements occurring between the two continents that might have begun as early as 11,000 yr ago
    These contacts were not only restricted to North Africa, but connected sub-Saharan regions to Europe directly via coastal routes or first crossing North African territories toward the Mediterranean Sea.
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3337428/

    In addition, the Northern African influence in the Italian Peninsula is evidenced by the presence of Northern African Y chromosome haplogroups (E1-M78) in three geographically close samples across the southern Apennine mountains: East Campania, Northwest Apulia and Lucera .
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3519480/

    We have shown that recent North African ancestry is highest in southwestern Europe and decreases in northern latitudes, with a sharp difference between the Iberian Peninsula and France, where Basques are less influenced by North Africa. Our estimates of shared ancestry are much higher than previously reported (up to 20% of the European individuals’ genomes).
    European populations sharing this North African ancestral component are almost exclusively in southern Europe. Southern European populations have a high proportion (5–35%) of joint Near Eastern | North African ancestry assigned at k = 4.
    https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1306223110

    Southern European groups (SEE, SCE, SDN, SWE, and BA) on the other hand derive ancestry from African and Near Eastern World Regions. In particular, ancestry from groups most similar to contemporary populations from in and around the Levant (lev; which we define as the World Region containing individuals from Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi, Yemen, and Egypt) is present across Italy (SCE), Sardinia (SDN), France and Spain (SWE), and Armenia (IA). Interestingly, North (nafII) and West (waf) African ancestry is also seen entering Southern Europe, suggesting a key role for the Mediterranean in supporting gene flow back into Europe.
    consistent with migrations associated with the Arabic Conquest of the Iberian peninsula and earlier movements in and around Italy
    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982215009495

    We found evidence of the presence of a mix of Central-Northern European and Middle Eastern-North African ancestries in the Italian individuals .
    for the Southern Italian individuals, admixture between European and Northern African-Middle Eastern ancestry was estimated to have occurred about 1000 y.a.
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5070887/

    Unlike R1b, haplogroup J frequency increases from North (8.3%) towards Central (13.3%) and Southern Italy, where it reaches the highest value (28.5%). The distribution of haplogroup J1 is restricted to South Italy; this haplogroup, which arose in the southern part of the Middle East , characterises Near Eastern and North African Arabic-speaking populations . Its presence in the southern part of the Italian Peninsula indicates gene flow from these populations.
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29382284/

    Historical events possibly involving continental groups at the end of the Roman Empire and African contributions following the establishment of Arab kingdoms in Southern Europe around 1300 to 1200 ya played a role in further shaping the ancestry profiles and population structure of Italians . In particular, African contributions might have contributed to the increased diversity detected among clusters in Southern Italy and Sardinia
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6726452/

    The results suggest that the gene-flow from North Africa into the European Mediterranean coast (Tuscany and the Iberian Peninsula) arrived mainly from the Mediterranean coast of North Africa. In Tuscany, this North African admixture date estimate suggests the movement of peoples during the fall of the Roman Empire around the fourth century.
    Nonetheless, our focus on North African populations has allowed us to propose a more precise origin for the North African gene-flow into Tuscany, with our best surrogate group being comprised present-day people living on the Mediterranean shores of North Africa.
    https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspb.2019.0471

    Middle Eastern and North African contributions to the Italian gene pool were found to be concomitant with the Byzantine and Arab expansions in Central and Southern Italy. Nevertheless, rather than contributing novel ancestry factions, these admixture events may have played a role in reinforcing the differential distribution of ancient genetic components already present in the Italian groups, thus additionally shaping their differences in ancestry profiles.
    These findings confirm the early positioning of Southern Italy at one of the westernmost edges of the extensive Mediterranean corridor that mediated the diffusion of farming from Southeastern Europe and suggested Neolithic processes having left some of the most substantial traces (e.g., in terms of Anatolian-Neolithic-related and Caucasus hunter-gatherer ancestries) in the genetic background of S_ITA people.
    In addition to gene flow that occurred during historic times along the same path, this ancient connection contributes to explain also the patterns of haplotype sharing with present-day populations from the Near East and Southern Caucasus that were observed predominantly for S_ITA
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7243322/

    This suggests that the Roman Empire might have left a long-lasting demographic contribution to the genetic profile of southern Europeans, bridging the gap between European and Near Eastern populations on the genetic map of western Eurasia.

    Their influence on the Mediterranean race is clear in certain genetic markers that appear strong enough to stand out in statistical studies. In addition, some of the African genes found in these regions may have come not only from these historic events but also from earlier migrations and trade. Overall, the DNA evidence tells us that the Mediterranean race has a long history of people moving across borders, sharing their genes through colonization, trade, and conquest.

    Our study highlights widespread human mobility from North Africa to Europe in the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age.
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7080320/

    Many haplogroups of extra-European origin were found in our samples: haplogroups M/M1, which are widespread in Eastern Africa and Eastern Eurasia, were found in Calabria (1%) and Sicily (1%); haplogroups L1/L3e, which are typical of South-Saharan Africa were found in Calabria (1%), Sicily (2%) and Basilicata (2%); haplogroup R was found in Basilicata (4%) and R0a in Calabria (1%) and Basilicata (2%). In particular, haplotype R-16278 matched with two HVS-I sequences from Turkey; haplogroup N1b, which is frequent in the Middle East, was present in Calabria (3%) and Sicily (2%); haplogroup U6a, typical of Northern Africa, was found in Sicily (1%) and Basilicata (1%). The presence of these lineages is probably due to Southern Italy’s central position in the Mediterranean basin, which facilitated the introduction of foreign lineages.
    https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3109/03014460903198509

    Phylogeographic analyses showed that ∼65% of the European L lineages most likely arrived in rather recent historical times, including the Romanization period, the Arab conquest of the Iberian Peninsula and Sicily, and during the period of the Atlantic slave trade. However, the remaining 35% of L mtDNAs form European-specific subclades, revealing that there was gene flow from sub-Saharan Africa toward Europe as early as 11,000 yr ago.
    Moreover, it has been proposed that their arrival into Europe most likely occurred in recent times, during the Romanization period, the Arab/Berber conquest of Iberia and South Italy, and more recently during the Atlantic slave trade.
    A large proportion (65%) of the African-European mtDNAs investigated could be attributed to modern and well-documented demographic routes that existed during the Romanization period, the Arab conquest, and the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3337428/

    The sub-clade E3b1 (probably originating in eastern Africa) has a wide distribution in sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East and Europe. This haplogroup reaches a frequency of 8% in the North and Center and slightly higher in the South of Italy, 11%. It has also been argued that the European distribution of E3b1 is compatible with the Neolithic demic diffusion of agriculture ; thus, two sub-clades, E3b1a- M78 and E3b1c-M123 present a higher occurrence in Anatolia, the Balkans and the Italian peninsula. Another sub-clade, E3b1b-M81 is associated with the Berber populations and is commonly found in regions that have had historical gene flow with Northern Africa, such as the Iberian peninsula , including the Canary Islands , and Sicily ; the absence of microsatellite variation suggests a very recent arrival from North Africa . If we assume that all E3b1 represents the only Y-chromosome continental African contribution to Italy and L and U6 lineages the continental African mtDNA component, the African component in Italy is higher for the Y-chromosome (8–11%) than for mtDNA (1–2%). The origin of sub-Saharan African mtDNAs in Europe (including Italian samples) has been recently investigated by Cerezo et al. ; the results indicate that a significant proportion of these lineages could have arrived in Italy more than 10,000 years ago; therefore, their presence in Europe does not necessarily date to the time of the Roman Empire, the Atlantic slave trade or to modern migration.
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3519480/

    Lastly, three recent studies highlight the possibility of genetic exchange between Europe and Africa. Moorjani et al. (9) estimated that about 1–3% of recent Sub-Saharan African ancestry is present in multiple southern European populations; Cerezo et al. (23) find evidence of older (11,000 ya) Sub-Saharan gene flow toward Europe based on mtDNA genomes; and Auton et al. (8) found that short haplotypes were shared between the Yoruban Nigerians and southwestern Europeans. However, given the geographic barrier imposed by the Sahara Desert between North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, and the proximity of North Africa to Europe, it is plausible that gene flow from Africa to Europe actually originated in North Africa. North Africans are significantly genetically diverged from Sub-Saharan populations (24, 25), and hence previous studies may not have accurately estimated the proportion or range of admixture in Europe by using a Sub-Saharan sample as a source population. For example, the Moorish Berber conquest in Iberia began in the 8th century common era and lasted for more than 500 y; this conquest has been suggested as a potential source of gene flow from North Africa toward the Iberian Peninsula. The Y chromosome haplogroup E3b2-M81 distribution is in agreement with recent North African gene flow at that period (26).
    https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1306223110

    The presence of this haplotype suggests past contacts with peoples from North Africa. The introduction of African markers could be due to the Phoenician colonization at the end of the 2nd millennium b.c. or to the more recent Arab conquest (8th–9th centuries a.d.).
    Palermo, Alia and Valledolmo are intermediate between the populations with Phoenician, Arab and African contributions to their gene pools (Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon) and the populations from Greece and continental Italy.
    Lebanon, Tunisia and Algeria present positive values for the first component, confirming that the African genetic traits in their gene pools are so marked and peculiar that they can be discriminated even with the first principal component.
    Interestingly, the principal components analysis indicates genetic affinities between Lebanon and Palermo. This is an important observation, perhaps due to genetic traces of the Phoenicians in western Sicily. They retained their hegemony until the Arab conquest in the 9th century a.d. Therefore, the Phoenicians, and later also the Arabs, likely played an important role in the genetic makeup of Sicily, since they settled in the region for quite a long time and probably mixed with the local people.
    The presence of a typical African marker (haplotype Gm5*;1,17;…), especially in the genetic structure of Alia and Palermo, highlights the possibility of past contacts with peoples from Africa. Indeed, Palermo was originally a Phoenician-Carthaginian colony (toward the end of the 2nd millennium b.c.) and remained so for a long time. The Phoenician colonization is also demonstrated by inscriptions found in the Gurfa Caves near Alia. Therefore, the introduction of an African polymorphism could have been due to the Phoenician colonization or to the more recent Arab conquest of the territory (9th century a.d.).
    A study carried out with restriction enzymes on mtDNA indicated the presence of African haplotypes (4.4%) in a sample of Sicilians. The authors hypothesized an input of genes from Africa to Sicily (estimated at about 10%) brought by Phoenician migrations. More recent studies on classical polymorphisms have demonstrated the Phoenician influence on the genetic structure of northwestern Sicily, which would have helped differentiate the local populations from the rest of the island.
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14652700/

    In conclusion, high-resolution Y-chromosome haplotyping and particular microsatellite associations reveal regional population differentiations, an East Africa homeland for E-M78, and recent gene-flow episodes consistent with the Neolithic in Europe. In particular, the spatial distributions of J-M172*, J-M267, E-M78, and E-M123 indicate expansions from the Middle East toward Europe that most likely occurred during and after the Neolithic, that of J-M102 illustrates population expansions from the southern Balkans, and that of E-M81 reveals recent gene flow from North Africa.

    To investigate the male genetic legacy of the Arab rule in southern Europe during medieval times, we focused on specific Northwest African haplogroups and identified evolutionary close STR-defined haplotypes in Iberia, Sicily and the Italian peninsula. Our results point to a higher recent Northwest African contribution in Iberia and Sicily in agreement with historical data. southern Italian regions known to have experienced long-term Arab presence also show an enrichment of Northwest African types.
    Our results confirm a general correlation between historical and genetic data: Iberia and Sicily are the regions with the highest MNA male legacy.
    medieval North African (MNA)
    Our estimates of NW African chromosome frequencies were highest in Iberia and Sicily, in accordance with the long-term Arab rule in these two areas.
    An inspection of Table 1 reveals a non-random distribution of MNA types in the Italian peninsula, with at least a twofold increase over the Italian average estimate in three geographically close samples across the southern Apennine mountains (East Campania, Northwest Apulia, Lucera). When pooled together, these three Italian samples displayed a local frequency of 4.7%, significantly different from the North and the rest of South Italy (P<0.01), but not from Iberia and Sicily (P=0.12 and P=0.33, respectively). Arab presence is historically recorded in these areas following Frederick II's relocation of Sicilian Arabs.
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2947089/

    If gene flow had occurred solely through the Middle East, we would expect the South-Eastern subpopulations to have the highest haplotype diversity and sharing of YRI haplotypes. These two results therefore suggest that while the initial migrations into Europe came via the Middle East, at least some degree of subsequent gene flow has occurred directly from Africa.
    Nonetheless, the haplotype sharing between Europe and the YRI are suggestive of gene flow from Africa, albeit from West Africa and not necessarily North Africa. Future studies will hopefully be able to better resolve this question by comparing haplotypes from further populations around the Mediterranean.
    Global distribution of genomic diversity underscores rich complex history of continental human populations
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19218534/

    The Y-chromosome variability of Sicily shares a common history with that of southern Italy, enriched by an additional Arab contribution, but also North African and Greek influences
    Frequency of Y-chromosome haplogroup J2 was found to be 9% in the North, 37% in the Center, and 22% in the South (average in Italy: 14.5%). Haplogroup J2 is widely believed to be associated with the spread of agriculture from Mesopotamia.
    For the J1-M170 clade, the peaks of J1-M267 are in the Levant and in northern Africa, and it is closely associated to the diffusion of the Arab people, dropping abruptly outside of this area (including Anatolia and the Iberian peninsula), even if it shows an appreciable percentage in Sicily [70].
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3519480/

    Among the other E sub-clades, the Middle Eastern E1b-M34 lineage is restricted to Apulia, Calabria and Sicily, whereas the North African E1b-M81, E1b-V22 and E1b-M35 are observed in Calabria and Sicily.
    In particular, E1b-M81, which is very frequent in North Africa, reaches an incidence of 6.3% in Sicily. This marker has also been observed at significant frequencies in Southern Iberia and its presence in Southern Europe has been attributed, due to its low microsatellite variation, to relatively recent migration(s) from North Africa.
    On the other hand, the finding of E1b-M35 Y chromosomes (3.5%) in the Borbera Valley is not completely unexpected. Indeed, the so called “Vie del Sale – Salt Paths” in the high Valley could have been the entry route of North-East African Y chromosomes either during the passage of the Attila Army in the 5th century and/or the numerous Saracen invasions around the year 1000 A.D.
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29382284/

    As Sardinia, also Sicily was an important Punic trading post, especially on the western coast. Despite the paucity of samples from this area, the presence of Northern African ancestry on the island could be tentatively reconducted to the Iron Age (or at least Antiquity), because, although absent in previous time layers, it’s present in modern Sicilians.

    You are undoubtedly correct about “parts of Spain.” Wide swaths of Iberia were under Moorish occupation for a very long time, some for almost 800 years.

    Another dirty little secret is the fact that the Mohammedans brought multitudes of sub-Saharan slaves into this immediate area. It would be foolhardy to suggest that all of these population groups were expelled post 1492.

    The large majority of Castilian “Spaniards” are clearly genetically compromised. The Immigration Act of 1924, while flawed in some ways, was 100% correct in seeking to bar them from the U.S.

    Thankfully, the Moors never conquered a SINGLE INCH of the Basque Country or Cantabria, never had operational control of Galicia, and were only present in Asturias for about 5 years or so.

    Concerning “Southern France,” you need to be more specific. The lion’s share of what is now Provence, for example, was historically populated by a Ligurian Celt/Greek composite, 100% Italo in terms of culture, & was only ceded to France in 1860 by the Plombieres Agreement.

    There was a huge wave of British Isles (mostly but not exclusively from the Celtic areas) & Belgic settlement in the general Cote d’Azur region. Lots of Russian and Polish people also.

    Nice in particular is heavily populated by the descendants of these British expats. If I’m not mistaken, the largest church in the city is an Anglican congregation. These folks tend to stick out like a sore thumb and are somewhat resented by the indigenous locals.

    Regarding the Grimaldi dynasty, I’m not aware of any historical record suggesting North African ancestry. It has always been my understanding that they are related by blood to all the rest of European monarchies, such as the British Royal Family, the Spanish throne, etc. I have seen compelling research suggesting Jewish origins for all of them.

    If you can produce evidence to the contrary, rest assured I’ll studiously examine it.

    I read a biography of Princes Grace of Monaco and there it had the whole lineage of her husband[and her or course]. And it did say that originally the founder of that family, was from Algeria. I don’t remember the name of the book. I read it about 20 years ago. That factoid stayed with me because it’s so contrary to the narrative that Europe and Middle East have no common ground or history. When I was in Provence, Nice, where my son was born, the people ranged from light skinned to darker skinned. The dark skin and dark eyes and dark hair, of some Italians and some French and some Spanish, and modern Greeks too comes from their mixing with Arabs-via mixing with Italians who are mixed with Arabs? The architecture, some food, the words in the Romance languages, many come from Arabic. Just learned that the word “alcohol” comes from Arabic.
    My greater point however is that influxes of different tribes has always occurred, the nation state is relatively a new thing as you pointed out about French Provence. There’s no inherent harm in influxes of people. It’s how there is such a thing as Italian culture or Spanish culture etc. These cultures come about from having had different tribes come into those locations at specific time. Eventually there is mixing of people and a change occurs from what was before; culture over culture. It’s the way of the world. It’s why we’re not cave men still. [lol]!

A very similar thing is happening in Sweden, despite promises of a “paradigm shift” on immigration in the 2022 elections by the Moderates (akin to UK conservatives) and the Sweden Democrats. While asylum based immigration has gone down, chain migration (arabs, africans), student visas (jeets), and work based immigration (also jeets) have gone up. Last year we issued 94000 residence permits, which is about the amount we have taken in every year since 2006 (which was also thanks to the Moderates, btw). Our Minister for Migration and Asylum policy recently went out and said that he wants to turn Sweden into the next Silicon Valley by importing “tech talent” from India.

    There are those like Jonathan Revusky who claim that all those Muslims terrorist attacks in Europe and elsewhere are false flags (based on the true fact that 911 was indeed a false flag to go to war against the Arabs) to turn the popular sentiment against the Muslims, yet those attacks have done nothing to stop the flood of the immigrants.

    So all those Muslim attacks, real or not, are achieving nothing, and the governments just keep on bringing in more Muslims.

    What kind of real or false flag of apocalyptic proportions must there be, attributed to Muslims and other immigrants, to finally get the Europeans to kick them out and close the border doors? Grooming gangs that have raped a million mostly underage girls in Britain alone and nothing. Huge terrorist attacks in France that have killed up to hundreds or more people – nothing.

    I don’t think those false flags (or false flag hoaxes in some cases) in Europe were about increasing anti-Muslim sentiment. I think they were a pretence to implement new police state legislation akin to the Patriot act in America. They need to defend our democracy, after all. The 1996 Antiterrorism Act in the US followed the the Oklahoma City bombing (another false flag) of 1995. The Patriot Act of 2001 followed 9/11. The same happened in Europe. See more for a short AI recap.

    [MORE]

    France: After the 2015 Paris attacks, France declared a state of emergency, which was extended several times. In 2017, many emergency powers were incorporated into ordinary law, including expanded police search powers, house arrests, and restrictions on gatherings. France also launched Opération Sentinelle, deploying thousands of soldiers for domestic security.

    United Kingdom: The UK, already with robust counterterrorism laws (such as the Terrorism Act 2000), further strengthened legislation after attacks. The Investigatory Powers Act 2016 expanded surveillance capabilities. Operation Temperer allowed military deployment to support police after major attacks.

    Belgium: Responding to the 2016 Brussels bombings, Belgium increased surveillance, expanded detention powers, and improved intelligence sharing. Similar to France, Belgium conducted major anti-terror operations and raids.

    Austria, Denmark, Netherlands: These and other countries introduced or amended laws to allow deprivation of citizenship for dual nationals involved in terrorism, increased penalties, and enhanced intelligence operations.

    European Union: The EU strengthened cross-border cooperation, data sharing, and set minimum standards for counterterrorism measures among member states.

    The Europeans passed a range of new or amended laws that increased surveillance, police powers, and penalties for terrorism-related offenses in response to the wave of attacks in the 2000s and 2010s.

    “Southern” Italy; great! But people mix and move about. Hence Italians tend to look “Italian” whether they’re from the north or south. And that “look” tends to be dark hair and eyes and olive skin, from the arabs, either directly or via arab mixture with greeks.
    You’ d be hard pressed to tell an Italian from a lebanese or syrian or iraqi w/o their cultural dress. I’m not saying they’re all mixed with arabs, but that there is a mixture with them as much more or less as there is with other various influxes of tribes throughout the history of Italy. Again; which is why there is such a thing as a generalized Italian look, more or less.It may be diluted in some parts of Italy and more present genetically in other parts, of Italy, but it’s there generally.

    Italians are not some unique race any more than the French or the English. The original European phenotype is blond hair and blue eyes. Those are the “European only” features. Everything else comes from abroad. Slick black hair comes from the East. Curls come from Africa. Brown eyes come from both. This much is obvious when you travel East and South.

    Genetically speaking Italians are roughly 50% pure Europeans. More in the North, less in the South. By comparison the French are closer to 70% and the Germans somewhere around 75-80. Nordics can in some cases be around 90% European.

    This is easily determined by counting blue eyes.

    When it comes to Arabs they are certainly much less European than Italians, because you hardly spot a pair of blue eyes in that region. I traveled Turkey for years and not once did I see blue eyes.

    So, what’s means Arab? A tribe from Arabia? And where did they come from; other tribes that merged? As I understand it Arabs are a language group; people whose native language is Arabic. And that comprises the people of the Middle East minus Persians. [and prior to Zionist colonizers]. Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic are closely related. So, though I’m not a historian, I do know that various influxes of tribes have traversed, conquered, traveled, migrated throughout history. I’m thinking , Persians, Romans Mongols , European crusaders, Vikings, Greeks, Phoencians, Hebrews, Egyptians, Etruscans? Arabians [ from whence the language comes], who knows who else! So, the Arabic speaking people living there now, are a mixture of those other tribes, some more with some groups, some mor with other groups. Same can be said about Italians; they’re a mixture of tribes too, tribes that also mixed with Arabic speakers of the ME. That’s how I see it based on the fact that tribes migrate, conquer, trade , travel and then mix with whoever’s already there.

    If you have blue eyes you got it from both your father and your mother.

    There appears to be more blue eyes in the Syriac and even Palestine region than in the surrounding areas. This could merely be a result of crusader activity. In any case, most of the Middle East is 99% dark eyed, signifying a low European ancestry. From Iran and further north and north/east you start to see them again, all the way to the Chinese border. Presumably this is why they call Europeans “Caucasian”, but I think judging by the distribution that Europe is clearly the homeland of blue eyes and blonde hair.

    The mixed races (or should we say more mixed) generally have a self esteem issue regarding their identity. Italians will typically scoff at the idea they are somehow related to Germans or that their superficial dark features are of a non European origin. They want to be “puro” but their strong heterogenic features betrays this idea immediately so they start believing they are some sort of special race. “The real Europeans” while the rest are barbarians. It’s a cope, nothing more.

    People should just embrace their identity. This is what Hitler did. He loved Germany not because it was pure, but because it was Germany. As a European I sympathize with this viewpoint. They are not the purest race in Europe, but without a doubt they are the greatest. The quintessential modern Europeans. Italians and others should stop acting like children and accept that they are not masters of the universe. They should stop being scared of Hitler. It only betrays their insecurities.

    You talk and talk, but after the isolation of the human genome in 2003, genetic research has made enormous advances, of which you are totally unaware. The Italian genome is composed of 3 related subgenomes: the Italian (predominant in center and north Italy), the Greek-Roman (predominant in the South and very close to the Greek) and the Sardinian (with a high pre Roman component). Southern Italy was populated by Greek colonies for centuries before the Roman conquest.
    Genetic research has also identified an Iberian ancestral genome in Spain and Portugal, later “contaminated” by North African and Arab genomes, an ancestral German genome, and an ancestral British genome, later “contaminated” by Roman and Anglo Saxon (German) genomes.
    On the contrary, a French ancestral genome does not exist, French are a mix up of German, Roman and Iberian genomes.
    Recent analysis of the UK genome has verified that the Anglo Saxon (German) genome is present at a 28-36% rate in different areas of UK. It means that the Anglo Saxon origin is far less than thought. But you know Anglo Saxon historians insist on the fairy tale that the 400 years old Roman occupation “did not leave traces on the British population”, in spite of the fact that the British queen Boadicea exterminated all the 70,000 London population, exactly because it was a mixed up Roman and British population.

    Bottom line, science says there is an ancestral Italian genome, and ancestral Southern Italian genome closely related to the Greek, an ancestral Iberian genome, German genome and British genome. The Italian ancestral genome, separated by the German, exists because of the Alps, just like the Himalaya separate the Indian and the Chinese genome.

Thank’s for motivating me to do some research! Lord knows how this contaminant entered into his family tree, but it could very easily connote some North African DNA.

    This is why Northern Europeans tend to have higher proportions of Western Hunter-Gatherer (WHG) and Steppe ancestry, while Southern Europeans, including Italians, retain higher levels of EEF ancestry

    The percentage of Early European Farmer (EEF) ancestry in Italians varies, but studies suggest it can be around 80%

    In the light of Near Eastern gene flow, admixture analysis revealed Anatolian introgression in most of the Italian samples. Considering the expectations related to the different models proposed for spread of agricultural technology, these results support the DD model. Despite the presence of Neolithic genes in the current male Italian population, the admixture values as estimated by ADMIX suggested a differential impact of the newcomers across the Italian samples. The estimated degree of introgression is in fact not consistent across all areas, with Southern samples experiencing higher Anatolian contribution than Northern samples. A very rough estimation would suggest a 70–90% contribution for the former and 50–70% for the latter.

    We concluded that in Italy more than 70% of the observed diversity is distributed along gradients and that Anatolian Farmers did have a different demographic impact on different Italian areas for paternal lienages.

    Y chromosome haplogroup Q, a common paternal lineage in Central/Western Asia but almost Europe-wide absent, was found, suggesting that Central Italy could have hosted a settlement from Anatolia that might be supported by cultural, topographic and genetic evidence.

    A very strong demographic shift toward Anatolia is also evident in Rome and central Italy during the same period and demonstrates long-distance mobility plausibly originating from the major eastern urban centers of the Empire such as Ephesus, Corinth, or Byzantium/ Constantinople, and our results show that these migrants had a major demographic impact not only on the Imperial capital but also on other large towns on the Empire’s northern periphery.

    Forgive me for not being specific enough. I’m guilty of this sometimes and I’ll try to improve in the future. On to the matter at hand.

    Polignac’s Mexican wife (& Rainier III’s grandmother) was Susana Mariana Estefania Francisca de Paula del Corazon de Jesus de la Torre y Mier. (If Castilian “Spaniards” using three names wasn’t obnoxious enough already, a name of this length is categorically absurd.)

    Her father emigrated to Mexico from Andalusia, which in and of itself would probably connote a significant degree, perhaps even a majority, of North African DNA. Ethnic /racial purity is the primary reason why I will always shout “Long Live the Basque, Catalan, & Galician Separatist (freedom in actuality) Movements” for as long as I draw breath in this life!

    In closing, with all due respect, you would be well suited to not rely on just one book as your sole and authoritative source for everything, unless it’s the Holy Bible.

    The special, special Italians. Never laid down with a foreign woman. Never had immigrants. Special, special Italians are 100% pure Italians.

    I like to keep it simple. If you have swarthy skin and curly hair then I am going to assume it came from your swarthy, curly neighbors.

    If you want to believe that these traits developed super specially on Italian soil without any foreign admixture you are free to do so.

    Notice how even Italians always identify with their lesser side. Belis is half German but that doesn’t count for a thing.

    Genetics says blond and blue is just a variation within the white race, a variation well present among the Romans (Nero included).

    The Romans were several centuries ahead the predominantly blond and blue Northern Europeans – Brits and Vikings of course included – in human development.

    Contemporary genetics confirmed the Romans were not North Africans or mixed up with North Africans as you imply, in accordance with Houston Chamberlain, De Gobineau, Rosenberg and Himmler’s mythology and fairy tales about the Nordic race.

    And I was born and raised mainly in Italy, so of course I am and feel far more Italian than German.

    Scientists believe in all kinds of nonsense like global warming and racial equality. They can’t see the forest for the trees. 90% of Northern Europe would not have blue eyes if it was merely a “variation”. This is the original phenotype. Blue eyes and blonde hair are completely unique to Europeans. How is this a “variation”? Why are they found nowhere else on Earth? Why do they grow progressively stronger the further you get away from race mixing areas? It’s all staring right in your face.

    The stereotype of a white man has always been a blonde. Always.

    There is a difference .

    in northwestern europe the darker EEF were completely replaced in a total ‘population turnover” with the Steppe people. EEF did not survive there.

    But in southern Europe the EEF survive to the present day.

    Any blond people in southern Europe are the result of race mixing with Nordics.

    I am familiar with this theory and I don’t believe it for a second. Firstly, they propose that the steppe people had blue eyes and dark skin. If they completely replaced another population we would have dark skin.

    Secondly, a steppe people is extremely unlikely to outnumber an agricultural people and if there was replacement it would be far from total. In fact the Norse sagas speak about this process where the invading Aesir (Easterners) merge with the Vanir (original inhabitants).

    My inkling is that the science is confused on this point. Blue eyes and blonde hair go hand in hand everywhere you find them. Even dark italians are born with blonde or semi blonde hair.

    The idea that Nordic invasions caused this seems fantastical considering you barely find a trace of the Vandals and the Ostrogoths in the modern genome of Spaniards and Italians.

    There is no scientific agreement on global warming, and recent genetics has proven the genetic foundation of human races, which are not just a “social construct”.
    But blond and blue is just a recessive variation within the white race and not a special, different or better race.
    The Roman Empire, from the Roman Republic until its end, lasted for around 7 centuries. Your predominantly blond and blue British, Irish, Viking or German ancestors were centuries behind the Romans. Some Romans were blue eyed and blond, even red haired (Nero), but they were not Nordic, they were Romans.
    You are also wrong treating Italians and Spaniards/Portuguese the same, just because they are not predominantly blond and blue. Contemporary genetics has verified a high presence of North African and Arab genome in Spaniards and Portuguese, while among Italians that presence is relevant only in Sicily.

    Well if you want to believe that water is not wet because a scientist says so, be my guest. The dark skin just evaporated I suppose. And the origin of these steppe people, that must have been completely obliterated as well. No blue eyed peoples in the East.

    Calling it recessive only shows your ignorance. Blonde hair does not disappear when mixed with black. It becomes brown. Blue eyes do not disappear when mixed with black, they become brown, hazel or even green.

    I can tell you one thing. This immense hatred you southerners have for Northern Europeans not only shows your lack of self esteem, it also shows you are no better than Jews. Italians will not be our allies, that’s for damn sure. I remember a time when you used to call other Europeans sub humans. Nothing has changed in this regard. All the arrogance of the old Romans with zero achievements to back it up.

    You have to dig 2000 years in the past to find your greatness. Meanwhile you are mere vassals to the developed states in the North. What happened Luigi?

    What does it prove, there are also negros born with blond or semi blond hair.

    Firstly, they propose that the steppe people had blue eyes and dark skin.

    The steppe people migrated during bronze age

    In the northwest european there was a total population turnover, the EEF did not survive like they did in southern Europe.

    the combination of blue eyes, blonde hair, and pale skin became dominant in the iron age, they are a later development among the northwest european peoples.

    Absolute nonsense. What kind of magic makes a gene disappear after 2 generations?

    This is a myth from 19th century Mendellian theory. It appears to disappear because of the nature of melanin, but in fact it remains and can be expressed at any point if matched with another blue gene further down the line. If blue eyes somehow “disappeared” after 2 generations there would not be a blue eyed man left in Europe. I find it funny how quickly you resort to this nigger logic. Then again Italians are barely 50% white.

    Being myself half German, with all my maternal family blond and blue, I cannot have any hatred for Northern Europeans. I simply find the blond and blue or Northern European superiority ridiculous and without any foundation

    Italian superiority however is not ridiculous, even if you have to go 2000 years in the past to find it. The achievements of Northern Europe in the last 500 years apparently mean nothing to you. You sound like a typical Jew.

    How come you were conquered by an “inferior” people? And multiple times at that.

    Italy has been the center of the West since the Roman Republic until the Renaissance, i.e. the foundation of commercial and banking capitalism, the rebirth of science and art, etc etc.

    Italy has not been the center of anything except avarice since 500 AD. The renaissance began in the Gallic Po Valley. The Northerners produced better stuff anyway. The real Italians further south are only known for organized crime and sleeping on the job. The Romans would laugh at you.

    As for the present situation, it is certainly not worse than that of UK, Germany, France or Sweden, and by the point of view of illegal migration, certainly better.

    What do you know about it? When I come back from a trip to the South it feels like landing in a different world. Economically superior. Technologically superior. Intellectually superior. When was the last time an Italian did anything of note? Maybe if you compare yourself to a Greek…

    Yeah, if they have white ancestry. American blacks are 20% white on average.

    For once I would like your type to look away from the book and use your synaptic connections. If blonde and blue eyed people replaced a dark people and came to dominate, what happened? Germans have become less blond since Roman times. How do you account for a complete reversal of that trend? Mathematically this is not possible. Nor are there any historical examples of an invading people completely displacing a native population. Firstly it can not happen because invaders are always in a minority and secondly it can not happen because human nature prefer to make them into slaves rather than killing them.

    What does happen is that an original population slowly take on the traits of their neighbours and their slaves. This is why Germans have Polish, Russian, French and Italian ancestry. But the dominating phenotype, the original, is blonde.

    Italy, Greece, Spain, being much closer to foreign races, have experienced this process at a much greater degree. But they too were likely at one point blonde.

    That is opinion based on scant information. Stop acting like you have a crystal ball where you can see clearly thousands of years in the past. What even is EEF apart from a name? What did they look like?

    Some EEF females who married steppe people they survived, but the males disappeared completely

    That sounds more like typical Viking activity, bringing captured women home.

    It could have been climatic factors, it does not have to be genocide.

    Climate change enters the thread. I know one possibility you are not considering for one second: the interpretation of the limited material is wrong.

    But this is proven in genetics.

    The only thing you can prove is that there is a genetic element. Dates, chronology, actual events, that is all assumption. A low Anatolian genetic element in Northern Europe makes sense if you consider the distance from Anatolia. It does not make sense if you suppose EEF once dominated the North.

    In southern Europe the EEF are still there.

    EEF is not the only thing Southern Europe shares with Asia, being neighbors and all.

    The combination of blue eyes, blonde hair, and pale skin phenotype became dominant only in the iron age not earlier

    How? If Germans were so proficient in completely displacing foreign populations then why aren’t they dominating the world? Or at least an area larger than a small cluster around the Oster sea.

    it is a northern european development

    Blondes survive in the most geographical resilient area of Europe? What a coincidence. It’s almost as if the race mixing in the South did not manage to penetrate to the same degree this far away, but that sounds too logical doesn’t it? Much better to assume something convoluted like a massive migration, remigration, population displacement, genocide and starvation of entire peoples.

    Certainly not among the EEF ancestry of southern Europe.

    Whatever that is.

    Of course Nordics migrated to the south which is what your article implies.

    What came first? The chicken or the egg? If Nordics migrated South, and Nordics completely displaced entire populations, then why shouldn’t Italy at some point have been almost completely blond? This is what you say happened right across the Alps. And we know the Germans went into Italy at various points, so what gives?

    I say places like Italy is just a natural mixture of genes from the North and the South/East. All these “unique populations” make no sense to me. Mathematically it should not be possible.

    I will add one example just to show how ridiculous some of these theories are.

    According to scientists all blue eyes originate from a single source. So far, so good.

    However, they claim that blue eyes were so popular that it displaced practically every brown eye in Northern Europe (but strangely, nowhere else). Now let’s do some simple math and see what this means. Let’s be conservative and suppose this happened in a population of 1000.

    The idea then is that the other 499 males in this population were somehow prevented from breeding. Meaning in a society where marriage and child rearing are critical, this one blue eyed male managed to displace everybody else over a short period of time (but nowhere other than Northern Europe did this happen).

    Geneticists may know genetics, but apparently they never learned calculus, or any type of human history. The idea is so inane that only an educated person could believe it.
