A Special Message from the Office of Approved Opinions

This episode of TRIGGERnometry is not a typical interview. Konstantin Kisin delivers a satirical "special message from the Office of Approved Opinions" in response to a real incident: in May 2021, over 8,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in a single day, with Moroccan authorities appearing to deliberately relax border controls.

What you'll learn

  • 1 (00:30) **Opening Statement from the Office of Approved Opinions** - The satirical office addresses public concern over the Ceuta incident, reframing it as a matter of cultural enrichment rather than a crisis.
  • 2 (01:27) **False Claim 1: Borders Were Breached** - The claim that Spain's borders were breached is dismissed because Ceuta is not attached to mainland Spain.
  • 3 (01:54) **False Claim 2: Unacceptable Number of Entries** - The scale of 60,000 entries in one day is downplayed by noting that many have since left.
  • 4 (02:16) **False Claim 3: Migrants Are Economic, Not Asylum Seekers** - The claim that arrivals are economic migrants is rejected, with a mock explanation of how they are coached to claim persecution.
  • 5 (02:41) **False Claim 4: Migrants Will Travel to Other European Countries** - The idea that these migrants will move onward is dismissed by pretending sea crossings are impossible.
  • 6 (03:03) **False Claim 5: Connection to Spanish Amnesty Policy** - The link between Spain's amnesty for illegal immigrants and the Ceuta incident is denied as offensive.
  • 7 (03:27) **False Claim 6: This Was an Invasion** - The term "invasion" is rejected because Morocco allegedly organized the entry, making it a deliberate act, not an invasion.
