Staged Screams and Sham Sanctuary: How the West’s Refugee Cult is Devouring Its Own Sovereignty, By Richard Miller (Londonistan)

In the annals of modern Western folly, few tales rival the absurdity unfolding in Britain's resettlement schemes for Afghans, a multibillion-pound bonanza where "torture videos" are as scripted as a Bollywood drama, and the real peril back home isn't Taliban whips, but the grind of joblessness. Picture this: Hundreds of Afghans, plucked from the dust of Kabul and plunked into the drizzle of Manchester, allegedly fabricating threats of beheading and beatings to snag a slice of the good life in the UK. Fake letters from the Taliban, homemade "assault" footage, even pleas to haul in second wives and sprawling clans, all to exploit the Afghanistan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP), a post-2021 evacuation lifeline that's ballooned into a taxpayer-funded farce. A former interpreter, himself a beneficiary of the system after serving British forces, has blown the whistle to Sky News: 'The only threat is unemployment." And get this, these same "persecuted" souls jet back to Afghanistan for sun-soaked holidays, posting poolside selfies and airport grins, only to scrub their feeds when journalists come knocking. Immigration fraud, pure and simple.

This isn't just one rogue scheme gone haywire; it's the rotten fruit of a broader Western malaise, where refugeeism has metastasised into a cult of virtue-signalling piety. Leaders from London to Washington genuflect at the altar of open borders, preaching "humanitarian" salvation, while their citizens foot the bill and bear the brunt. ARAP, born in the chaotic wake of the Taliban's 2021 triumph, was meant to honour those who risked it all alongside UK troops, interpreters dodging bullets, not baristas dodging boredom. Yet, as the whistle-blower reveals, it morphed into a magnet for opportunists: Applicants already safe in Belgium or Pakistan still wormed their way into British asylum, dragging extended families like uninvited plus-ones to a wedding. The scheme's "evidence" of peril? Often as phony as a politician's promise: Staged videos of mock maulings, forged fatwas, and tearful tales of phantom raids.

Zoom out, and the pattern screams indictment. The West's soft touch isn't compassion; it's capitulation, a self-flagellating ritual where admitting fraud shatters the sacred narrative of endless empathy. Remember the migrant "hotels" in 2022, where Albanian gangsters posed as persecuted families, only to vanish into organised crime syndicates? Or the Syrian "refugees" in Germany who, post-asylum, confessed to economic wanderlust over war-weary flight? Across the pond, America's parole programs for Venezuelans and Haitians have funnelled in hundreds of thousands, with fraud rates so rampant that even Biden's DHS admitted at the time systemic abuse. It's a cult, alright: Adherents, NGOs, bleeding-heart MPs, and Twitter theologians, signal their moral superiority by demanding more mats at the welcome centre, blind to the strain on schools, hospitals, and housing stocks. In the UK alone, ARAP and kin have relocated over 35,000 Afghans by late 2024, costing north of £2 billion, with data breaches in 2022 and 2025 exposing tens of thousands to real risks while the fakers frolic.

The cult's high priests? Politicians like Keir Starmer, who inherit Tory blunders, but double down on the dogma, issuing super-injunctions to hush the 2022 data leak that could've doomed 100,000 genuine at-risk Afghans. Or take Nigel Farage's Reform UK, surging in polls by calling it as they see it: A "scam" on the British people, with Zia Yusuf thundering that voters have been "had" by leaders more eager to virtue-signal than vet. The whistle-blower's fury echoes this: "It made me disappointed because [British] people believed there was a high threat... That's why I'm calling it out to stop the Afghan relocations." Yet the machine churns on, processing 100,000+ applications with "robust security checks" that evidently can't spot a scripted scream from a safe distance.

Why the rot? Because refugeeism has become religion: Question the flood, and you're excommunicated as a bigot. It's virtue-signalling on steroids, politicos burnishing halos by airlifting "the vulnerable," while ignoring the vulnerable at home: Overstretched GPs, tent-city homeless, and wage-squeezed natives. The Taliban aren't hunting every ex-interpreter; a recent review found little evidence of a retribution campaign, with threats more tied to anti-regime resistance than dusty old alliances. But facts be damned; the cult demands faith in the "moral obligation," even as holiday snaps prove the homeland's not quite the hellscape sold.

This Afghan video racket is no outlier, it's exhibit A in the West's suicide by sentiment. Europe reels from 2015's million-man march, now laced with welfare claims and crime waves. The U.S. border, a sieve under both parties, haemorrhages resources on "asylum" seekers who vanish into the shadows. The antidote? Sanity: Tighten vetting with AI lie-detectors and on-ground intel, cap family reunions at nuclear units, and prioritise genuine peril over economic pilgrimage. Reform UK's rise, nabbing battlegrounds from Labour, signals the congregation stirring: Tired of tithing to the temple of tolerance.

The whistle-blower's plea cuts through the incense: End the relocations, lest the cult consume the congregation. Until then, the West's soft underbelly invites not saviours, but scammers, proving that in the church of open arms, the flock gets fleeced.
