Who is twitter-luring refugees to Germany?
by Andrey Fomin
This
study adds to the preceding. It shows that the current wave of migration to
Europe is organized to direct human crowds to Germany.

Content-analysis
of a great number of tweets that triggered the ongoing wave of migration from
Turkey to Germany since August this year suggests that these human streams were
inspired and channeled from outside of the continental Europe.
According
to Vladimir Shalak [1] from the Russian Academy of Science who
developed the Internet Content-Analysis System for Twitter (Scai4Twi),
his study of over 19000 refugees-related original tweets (retweets discounted)
demonstrates that the vast majority of them mention Germany and Austria as the
most refugee-welcoming countries in Europe:
Counties
mentioned in tweets containing #Refugees hashtag, percent
Importantly,
93% of all tweets dedicated to Germany contained positive references to German
hospitality and its refugee policy:
• Germany
Yes! Leftists spray a graffiti on a train sayin “Welcome, refugees” in Arabic
• Lovely people – video of Germans welcoming Syrian refugees to their community
• Respect! Football fans saying “Welcome Refugees” across stadiums in Germany. _ • This Arabic Graffiti train is running in Dresden welcoming refugees: (ahlan wa sahlan – a warm welcome).
• ‘We love Germany!,’ cry relieved refugees at Munich railway station
• Thousands welcome refugees to Germany – Sky News Australia
• Wherever this German town is that welcomed a coach of Syrian refugees with welcome signs and flowers -thank you.
• Lovely people – video of Germans welcoming Syrian refugees to their community
• Respect! Football fans saying “Welcome Refugees” across stadiums in Germany. _ • This Arabic Graffiti train is running in Dresden welcoming refugees: (ahlan wa sahlan – a warm welcome).
• ‘We love Germany!,’ cry relieved refugees at Munich railway station
• Thousands welcome refugees to Germany – Sky News Australia
• Wherever this German town is that welcomed a coach of Syrian refugees with welcome signs and flowers -thank you.
Analysis
of 5704 original tweets containing #RefugeesWelcome” hashtag and a country name
lead to even larger gap between Germany and the rest of Europe:
The next
step is to study the source twitter accounts where the hashtag #RefugeesWelcome
+ Germany originate. Next diagram shows the countries of origin of the relevant
twitter accounts (where they could be idenfitied):
As you
see, only 6,4% of all tweets with “#RefugeesWelcome”+Germany came from Germany
itself. Almost half of them were originated from UK, USA and Australia! Looks
like your remote planetmates are blushlessly inviting guests to visit your home
without inquiring your opinion beforehand!
A couple
of popular samples:
Lotte
Leicht, director of Human Rights Watch’s Brussels Office, August 30.
Washington
Post,
September 1.
Further analysis
shows that it was only a beginning. A whole army of netbots has galvanized
‘hit-the-fan’ effect to the topic.
On Aug 27
forty automatic netbots @changing_news, @changing_news1,…, @changing_news39
from the United States simultaneously issued the following tweet at 8:00:33AM:

Austria #News #Change #Help»

Another
group of fifty netbots from Australia (all created on Feb 14, 2014 between
06:02:00 до 06:24:00AM) publish a post on Aug 31 at 17:26:08:

at 07:29AM 95 netbots owned by Media for Social and Cultural Impact, Dallas,

Needless
to say that every original tweet was multiplied in dozens of copies and spread
Twitter-wide.
