This is the body of the Kurdish toddler Alan Shenu. His image appeared everywhere to drive sympathy for Merkel's 2015 mass migration catastrophe.
What was unreported: Shenu's family had already settled in Turkey; they were by no understanding of the term "refugees" anymore.

From his totally secure location in Turkey, where he also had employment, Shenu's father tried to secure passage to Canada, but failed because of incomplete paperwork. Then he booked passage with smugglers on a raft to Kos (Greece), and his son died when the raft capsized.
Somehow all of this was made to be, first, Germany's fault; and then, Canada's fault, although any German or Canadian whose son died in similar circumstances would probably have all their other kids taken away from them and face criminal charges.
Of course, none of it was Turkey's fault, although the photograph was taken on a Turkish beach. Also too, it was Turkish authorities who failed to stop the migrant smugglers before the fact, and did very little aside from some pro forma arrests to stop it after the fact.
The moral of this story, is that everything you ever hear in any media or press source about migrants, anywhere, in any connection, is a total top-to-bottom egregious fucking misrepresentation. It is all a pack of lies.
The only thing that is not a lie, is their presence here.
