Daesh started to arm refugees

Muslim refugees arrived in Greece on a cargoship, and in the containers that arrived with them were found large amounts of weapons and cartridge. It has been known for days or weeks that the Islamic State is plotting a 9/11 in Europe. It is not known where or how they want to strike, but they are planning an attack with several hundreds or thousands of victims. This would be the last step for those Islamic warriors, who have already infiltrated Europe, to spring to arms and bring Europe to its knees both from the inside and the outside.

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko refused to go to Brussels and sent his minister of foreign affairs to the Eastern Partnership Summit. The other 4 delegations were led by the Presidents of the EaP countries concerned.

Disproof
The invitations to the Eastern Partnership Summit on 24 November in Brussels were sent to the Heads of State or Government of all six partner countries and of European Union Member States, signed by President of the European Council Donald Tusk and President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker and Prime Minister of Estonia (holding the presidency of the Council of the EU over the second half of 2017) Jüri Ratas. The choice of addressee was based on the constitutional responsibilities in the countries concerned.  In Georgia and the Republic of Moldova, foreign policy largely pertains to the responsibilities of Prime Ministers, while in the other four partner countries it largely rests with the Presidents.

Disproof

Repeating old disinformation debunked many times. In 2010, Bill Gates said:

"First, we’ve got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent, but there we see an increase of about 1.3."
